Chapter 65: For the Lantern Show (3)
Yao Zhou Palace
"Mo Xin, what do you say the county lord is wearing today?" Yao Die stood by the closet, looking at the clothes in the closet, and went back and forth several times to choose what she didn't like.
"The county lord is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything." Mo Xin has been serving by Yao Die's side for many years, and he has long been clear about Yao Die's temper. Today, after the county lord got the news that the third prince was going to see the lanterns at night, he began to think about how to dress up. It's not that the clothes in the wardrobe are not brightly colored, or that the style of the clothes is not in fashion. In fact, these clothes are freshly made every year and every season, all of them are the most fashionable materials and styles, and the colors are also what Yao Die usually likes.
It's just that Yao Die is going to see the third prince today, so he naturally starts to be picky about these.
"Really? But why doesn't the lord of this county think it's good-looking? Yao Die looked at the clothes in the closet without looking back, and the disgust in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"County Lord, look at this lake blue, and this light yellow dress, they all flatter you." Mo Xin stepped forward and picked up two dresses and said, "And didn't the third prince praise you for looking good in lake blue before?" The county lord might as well wear this lake blue. ”
"yes, that's it." Yao Die, who finally decided to get dressed, relieved Mo Xin, but Mo Xin was still happy too early, only to hear Yao Die's voice come slowly, "But what kind of jewelry should you wear with a lake blue dress?" ”
Moxin was really about to cry.
But I still had to bite the bullet, "Didn't the princess give two sets of jewelry on the county lord's birthday last time?" And the jewelry rewarded at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is very beautiful. Yao Die's face became extremely ugly when she heard Mo Xin mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, which reminded Yao Die of her loss to Shang Liyuan, how could Yao Die's mood be better?
Mo Xin knew that he had said the wrong thing at a glance, and quickly made up for it, "At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Concubine Xue's maintenance of the county lord is obvious to everyone, maybe the third prince will see the county lord wearing the jewelry of that day today, and look at the young lady a few more times." Mo Xin looked at Yao Die's face a little better, and continued to lobby hard,
"And who knows if the third prince asked the third prince to tell the county lord today? The third prince is not good to say directly to the county lord, let the county lord know in such a tactful way, if you want to travel to the capital with the county lord to see the lanterns, the county lord should be happy, maybe the slave will call you the third princess after the next year, you can't call the county lord. ”
At the end of the heart, three or two sentences let Yao Die rain over the sunny sky, "What you say is reasonable." ”
"Let's go and see what jewelry is available." Walking to the dresser, "Take out all the jewelry and show it to the county lord." ”
Mo Xin hurriedly took out all the jewelry on the table, in the drawer, and in the cage, and placed it on the dresser for Yao Die to choose. A dazzling array of jewelry, jadeite, gemstones, pearls, gold jewelry, and one or two precious coral jewelry in the middle. Yao Die frowned when she looked at the gold ornaments and jade, the coral jewelry was in line with her heart, but there were only two pieces of coral jewelry, and it was too simple to dress up, which did not meet Yao Die's expectations.
Mo Xin knew what Yao Die was thinking at a glance, and he didn't think about it, and he suggested it, "County lord, the slave maid remembers that the princess has a few pieces of coral jewelry there, with a lake blue skirt, just right." ”
Yao Die listened, yes, she had seen the coral jewelry of the mother concubine, the coral decorated with patterns was very good-looking, and she only looked at it a few times at that time, and the mother concubine asked people to put it away, she had only seen it at that time, and then the mother concubine had never worn it, and she had such an important date today, she must not lack anything, otherwise it would be so good?
Thinking of this, Yao Die beckoned to Mo Xin, "Go, go to the courtyard of the concubine." ”
Yao Die couldn't wait to get out of the house, and when Mo Xin left, she asked Mo Hua to go into the county lord's house to pack up the jewelry that was still on the dresser, so that she could keep up with Yao Die's pace with confidence.
When Yao Die entered Princess Zhou's courtyard with Mo Xin, Princess Zhou was looking at the account book, and when she saw Yao Die coming, she put down the account book in her hand, walked to the tea table and took a sip of tea, "Why did you come here at this time?" ”
"My daughter misses her mother, so she came over to see her mother." Yao Die is very good at being well-behaved, not to mention that she is even more well-behaved for the precious coral jewelry. Yao Die's well-behaved made Princess Zhou feel at ease, it seems that her daughter has something to ask for herself, otherwise how could it be like this?
"Say, what do you want the concubine to help with?" Princess Zhou put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Yao Die.
Yao Die was a little embarrassed to speak by Princess Zhou, but the coral jewelry was really important to her, and she hesitated to speak, "The third prince let his daughter breathe through today, saying that he would go to see the lanterns, and her daughter wanted to dress up well and go to the appointment." ”
Yao Die's words made Mo Xin feel horrified, how did this matter change when it came to the county lord's mouth? When did it become an invitation from the Three Princes?
When Princess Zhou heard Yao Die's words, her first reaction was not to believe it, not to mention Princess Zhou's understanding of Yao Die, just say that the attitude of Concubine Xue and the three princes knew that the three princes would definitely not take the initiative to invite Yao Die, although Concubine Xue's maintenance of Yao Die at the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet made her feel a little stupid, but Princess Zhou also knew that Concubine Xue was to suppress Shang Liyuan, so she would help Yao Die, even if the person who fought against Shang Liyuan was not Yao Die, Concubine Xue would also open her mouth to help other people.
Of course, Yao Die could see the suspicion in Princess Zhou's eyes, but today she must get those few pieces of coral jewelry, "If the mother concubine doesn't believe it, you can ask Mo Xin." ”
"Mo Xin, you say, is it true that you told your mother about this?" Yao Die launched the last heart.
Mo Xin was about to cry in his heart, how could his master be like this? But what can she, a slave, say? I had to say vaguely,
"It is indeed the news that the third prince will visit the lanterns tonight." Yao Die looked at Princess Zhou with joy on her face when she heard this. Princess Zhou is not a simple-minded person like Yao Die, and she will know what is going on as soon as she hears it. His daughter got the news that the third prince was going to the lantern exhibition, and Baba came to find herself, and Yao Die still needs to say what the purpose of looking for herself is.
Sure enough, Yao Die began to be anxious again, and without waiting for Princess Zhou to say anything more, she directly stated her purpose, "Mother, my daughter remembers that my mother got a few pieces of coral jewelry two years ago, can I borrow my daughter to wear them?" ”
Princess Zhou's eyes widened and looked at Yao Die incredulously, "Do you still have less jewelry?" I remember that you also have coral jewelry..."Before Princess Zhou finished speaking, Yao Die directly grabbed the words, "How can my daughter's two coral jewelry be enough?" The others are not good-looking, today is a rare opportunity, how can my daughter not pay attention to it? How can you not dress up and look grand? The mother concubine borrowed my jewelry, maybe my daughter can enter the eyes of the three princes and become the third princess, when the time comes..."
