After sitting down, Bai Jiujiu took the lead in asking, "Why are you here?" ”

"I got off duty, I went to the embroidery workshop to look for you, but I didn't see anyone, and I heard that you entered the palace, so I was worried that the queen would be unfavorable to you." In a few words, he explained the reason why he appeared here.

"Don't do this next time, there is no summons, not everyone can enter the palace." Bai Jiujiu held Xu Huaiqing's hand and asked.

Xu Huaiqing shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, he almost asked the emperor to report today under the pretext that he had something important, but fortunately, Bai Jiujiu came out quickly.

The two returned to Xu's house and closed the door, and Bai Jiujiu said the reason for entering the palace today.

"The queen asked you to make a dragon robe for the emperor?" Xu Huaiqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The emperor's dragon robe is made by a specific embroidery girl in the palace, and the process is so complex that ordinary people can't think about it, how could Bai Jiujiu suddenly be allowed to make a dragon robe.

Bai Jiujiu blinked in confusion, "She said it's because my embroidery is better." ”

Xu Huaiqing said categorically, "It won't be this reason, those embroidery girls in the palace have done embroidery all their lives, and they are more familiar with making dragon robes than you, so there is no reason to suddenly change people." ”

"Yes, I also think it's strange, could it be because of the prince's incident last time." Bai Jiujiu frowned a little worriedly.

Xu Huaiqing walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hands, and already had an idea in his heart, "It's okay, I'll find a way to find out what they mean." ”

He didn't dare to delay, and came directly to King Wei's mansion after nightfall.

Now the porter of King Wei's mansion knows him, and King Wei has greeted them, but whenever Xu Huaiqing comes over, he doesn't need to report it, and directly brings people in, so Xu Huaiqing met King Wei very smoothly.

"There has never been a precedent for handing over the dragon robe to a non-palace embroiderer, and the queen is probably a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink." After listening to this, King Wei made up his mind.

"I think so too, but Jiu Jiu doesn't dare to follow the orders from above." Xu Huaiqing sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, King Wei's expression suddenly sank, he grew up in an environment of deceit, and almost instantly thought that the queen's purpose was not Bai Jiujiu, but him.

Just imagine, if something happens to the dragon robe this time, the people who handle it will inevitably be affected, no matter what the result is, it means how much Xu Huaiqing cares about Bai Jiujiu, where do you still have the heart to take care of him, if it is serious, maybe Xu Huaiqing will also be affected, which is tantamount to cutting off his most important arm. Regardless, this is a conspiracy against him.

King Wei coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, wanting to use this to bring him down? The prince couldn't help but think too simply.

What he thought of, Xu Huaiqing could naturally think of, if it was for him, it would be okay, but they involved Bai Jiujiu, which was tantamount to touching his reverse scales.

The two discussed in the study for a long time, and finally unanimously decided that they would plan it!

Didn't the queen want to design the Xu family and the King of Wei, even if it was good, let her taste what it means to eat the fruit of self-reaping when the time comes!

After confirming that the dragon robe was going to be made, the queen gave Bai Jiujiu a place on the grounds that the dragon robe was precious and should not be contaminated by other things, and asked her to concentrate on making it in the palace.

Xu Huaiqing was reluctant in every way, but the palace had palace regulations, and he couldn't enter the palace every day, so he could only ask King Wei to take care of him, and King Wei naturally took care of him and sent him eyeliner in the palace, at least to ensure that during this time, the queen and the crown prince would not harm Bai Jiujiu's life.

On this day, Bai Jiujiu was rushing to make a dragon robe in the room, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, she was immersed in embroidery and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Unbeknownst to him, the footsteps stopped at the door, and at the same time, the door was pushed open with a creak.

"Ouch, Mrs. Xu is busy." This is Zhao Feihuai's voice, with a bit of arrogance and disdain in her coquettishness.

Meng Ting then came in, holding a fine golden silk handkerchief in her hand, and her face was also full of smiles.

Bai Jiujiu glanced at them, "The queen ordered me to hurry up, the time is more urgent, I can't salute the two, please bear more." ”

Zhao Feihuai's face stiffened, gritted his teeth and smiled, "Mrs. Xu is doing things for Your Majesty now, so it's okay not to be polite." ”

"Yes, we're sisters, and we don't pay attention to those false courtesies." Meng Ting also took the opportunity to answer, but there was sarcasm in and out of her words.

The two of them walked back and forth in the room, as if they were studying something new, and they had to get to Bai Jiujiu inch by inch, and praised against their will, "Mrs. Xu's embroidery is really getting better and better, and the princess is so envious of her." ”

Bai Jiujiu was so annoyed by this woman that she kept a straight face and didn't speak, but she didn't notice that in the corner where she couldn't see, Meng Ting quietly hid a box of special black threads.

"Sister, let's not disturb Mrs. Xu here, the queen mother is still waiting for us to come over and say goodbye." Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Mengting doesn't want to stay longer. walked over and grabbed Zhao Feihuai's arm and said softly.

Zhao Feihuai glanced at her, and a trace of understanding flashed in the depths of her dark eyes.

The two left hand in hand, and after walking out for a long time, Bai Jiujiu could still smell the rich incense, couldn't help frowning, walked over and opened the window, and let the residual breath of the two of them come out.

Then she came back to check things, she didn't believe in the character of Mengting and Zhao Feihuai, and this inspection really found out that there was a problem.

A box of black threads is gone!

The materials needed to embroider the dragon robe were all sent by the queen, so after losing the black line, Bai Jiujiu did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to see the queen.

"A thief in the embroidery room? What thief is so bold to steal something to the palace! ”

Bai Jiujiu looked at her angry face, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

The queen didn't blame her, and comforted her a few words, and then asked people to bring the same black thread over, the palace maid went out for a while, and when she came in again, she was embarrassed and said, "Niangniang, the masters of the embroidery room said that the special black thread is not there for the time being, and it will be transported from Jiangnan." ”

"How long will that take?"

"Grandpa Huang has been out for a month, and it is estimated that he will be back in a few days."

The queen nodded, pretending to look at Bai Jiujiu considerately, "In that case, you can embroider other places first, and when the black line comes back, the palace will send it to you." ”

"Yes, sissy." Bai Jiujiu bowed slightly, hiding the cold light that flashed in his eyes.

However, this is just a few days, Bai Jiujiu was anxious, and urged the palace people who were serving her several times, but the other party kept shirking it quickly, but there was nothing to see.

At the same time, some rumors gradually arose outside, saying that King Wei and Xu Huaiqing were close, and the two often drank and chatted together, and Xu Huaiqing was King Wei's confidant.
