Chapter 86: The Concubine's Birthday (10)
Concubine Pei thought for a while and said, "That's fine, the palace will accept it first." You go back and tell your mother, thank her for her kindness, let her recuperate in the dormitory, and visit her in a few days. ”
Yexi also responded one by one.
Ye Jingjing saw the opportunity, stepped forward, blessed Concubine Pei, and said coquettishly: "Jingjing entered the palace today and learned about the old lady's birthday, I am really lucky." Jingjing entered the palace in a hurry, and did not bring any gifts, only a box of peacock silk threads from the splendid workshop that she carried with her, and gave it to the old lady, wishing the old lady a long life and good health. With that, he presented the beautifully packaged box.
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were even more envious than seeing the jade roar.
That's the silk thread of the Splendid Workshop, and it's not easy to buy it with silver.
At this time, everyone is too envious of Concubine Pei, but there is one thing they still don't understand, the prince gave the gift in accordance with the queen's instructions, this Ye Jingjing is just a concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the relationship with the concubine is not good, but why do you want to give such a valuable gift?
However, Concubine Pei just glanced at the box casually, and did not let people accept it, and her tone was a little cold.
"The peacock silk thread is extremely precious, it is suitable for young ladies, the palace is full of old women, what is the use? Didn't spoil the good stuff. That's it, Miss Ye should keep it for her own use. ”
Ye Jingjing froze, the smile on her face froze, and her expression was quite embarrassed. However, she is not the daughter of the lady who does not go out of the door, but she has also seen a lot of the world, and she is not panicked when she is treated coldly, she lowered her eyes at the moment and said softly: "Niangniang, Jingjing knows that Jingjing's gift Weibo is really unreachable, but this is also Jingjing's heart." What's more, the prince once saved Jingjing twice, and Jingjing was grateful, but he didn't know how to repay him......"
Hearing her suddenly mention her son, Concubine Pei frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Since the prince saved Miss Ye, then Miss Ye should thank him, this gift is so valuable." The palace is useless, but I don't dare to accept it. ”
“……”
Ye Jingjing was speechless. I really didn't expect Concubine Pei to speak and act so directly, and she didn't give her face at all.
Everyone was also a little confused, thinking that this Concubine Pei was too faceless, even if she couldn't see Doctor Ye, she shouldn't embarrass people in public.
Only Concubine Wuya faintly understood in her heart.
The sweetheart was embarrassed, Yexi naturally felt uncomfortable, and wanted to help say a few words, but after looking at the old lady's face, she had to dispel the idea.
Ye Jingjing bit her lip, took back the box, lowered her head, blushing to her neck, at this moment, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
In fact, before entering the palace, she had imagined many possibilities, but she never thought that Concubine Pei would directly refuse her gift, and looking at her look, she was extremely disgusted with her.
Ye Jingjing was a little surprised by this.
Although Concubine Pei did not see her for medical treatment, they met twice. In her impression, Concubine Pei was good to her, always with a smile on her face, a kind look, and a soft voice.
She never thought she would be so cold to her.
The only possibility is that someone spoke ill of her in front of her. This person is none other than Ye Mengmeng!
Yes, it must be her, this woman is extremely hateful, she must have said bad things about herself in front of Concubine Pei.
She looked at the past with all her eyes. I saw Ye Mengmeng tilting her head slightly and didn't look at her.
She bit her lip and lowered her eyes, just wanting to get out of this place of pins and needles.
I only heard Concubine Pei say to Yexi: "Today, your Nine Emperor Uncle sent a few little fat sheep, and there are still two left in the kitchen, take them back and roast them with your queen mother?" The taste is fresh. ”
Yexi said: "Thank you to the old lady, it's just that the imperial doctor said that the queen mother should not eat beef and mutton these days, so ......"
"In that case, then you can take it back to the East Palace, right?"
"No, my grandson doesn't like to eat mutton, since this is the Nine Emperor Uncle's filial piety to the old concubine, the old concubine should enjoy it slowly. There is still something in the grandson's palace, so I will leave. ”
Yexi was worried about her sweetheart, knowing that she was embarrassed and wanted to leave, so to make a long story short, a few words perfunctory, and the superfluous words were not verbose.
Concubine Pei was not angry, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the palace will not persuade you, go back and tell your mother that the palace will come to visit her in a few days." ”
"Okay, grandson will thank the old lady for his mother first."
Concubine Pei nodded.
Yexi saluted again before turning to leave. Before turning around, he glanced at Ye Jingjing.
Ye Jingjing bit her lip, no matter how embarrassed she was, she had to try her best to hold back, stepped forward and blessed the old lady slightly, and retreated.
After going out of the door and walking to the corridor, Yexi stopped, turned around and instructed the minions: "You all stand back!" ”
The palace people all retreated.
Yexi turned around and looked apologetic: "Jingjing ......" reached out to hug her.
Ye Jingjing subconsciously retreated.
Yehee's arm froze. "Jingjing, are you angry?"
Ye Jingjing looked up at him, there was a trace of mist in his eyes, but the mist was cold.
"Angry? What right do I have to be angry? ”
Yexi said angrily: "Jingjing, I know, you must be blaming me for not helping you speak just now." However, you also know that on that occasion just now, what did you ask me to say? The old lady is not lukewarm to me, let alone ......"
“…… What's more, it's me, a low-status concubine! Ye Jingjing took over the words, her tone was sarcastic, and her expression was mocking.
"Jingjing, why do you say that?" Yexi's face was a little unbearable. "I didn't expect the concubine to treat you like that, I wasn't mentally prepared at all, what if I spoke for you and the concubine was even more angry?"
“……”
Ye Jingjing looked at him, panicked in her heart, and was so disappointed in him.
He fell into such an embarrassing situation, he didn't say anything to help himself, and he was full of thoughts about whether the concubine would be angry! What he cares about is whether others are angry or not, and he doesn't care if she is angry or not, right?
Such a timid and cowardly man, she Ye Jingjing is still like a treasure!
Yexi naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and was still talking about it.
“…… Jingjing, you shouldn't have come to Jingxin Garden today, you and the concubine can't fight at all, I don't understand what you're doing? The two of us walked in together, and it was already very eye-catching...... I can't make sure that the old lady knows about me and ...... The matter of marrying the eldest lady...... She must have done that to you on purpose! ”
Ye Jingjing was so angry that she almost vomited blood, glared at him, didn't know what to say for a while, and said half-loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you blaming me for obstructing your good marriage?" ”
"Jingjing, how can you say that?" Yexi was displeased. "You know I didn't mean that......"
