Chapter 422: The Favorite Concubine of the Cold Palace (17)
This was said very harshly, and Bai Qingyin's eyes were a little red when she said it.
Ye Xinlu still refused to give up, and then said: "No wonder the emperor values our eldest sister like this." Look at how generous the eldest sister is, if there is a treasure given by the emperor, it will be distributed to our sisters immediately, which is like you, you are still talking there without pulling out a dime! ”
After speaking, she turned to Bai Siyin again and said, "Eldest sister, my sister will definitely learn more from you in the future, your bearing and demeanor are all examples of our younger sisters." ”
The smile on Bai Siyin's face was already a little unbearable, and when he heard Ye Xinlu's compliments, he couldn't tear his face, so he nodded with a reluctant smile, and glared at Jinxiu again.
Seeing this, Jinxiu stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, that night pearl is a treasure given by the emperor, you want to give it to Bai Cainu, the slave can understand, but if the emperor asks about this pearl tomorrow, how should you answer?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "That's right, sister, if the emperor asks about this pearl, you can say that you gave it to me this sister, and let the emperor come to my Guixiangju to see the night pearl." ”
Bai Siyin's face turned green with anger, and his feet were a little unstable.
Mama Tong had just come back from collecting the night pearls, and when she walked to the door, she heard this sentence and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
[Chuhan River Realm]: "Anchor, your thick black study is good!" ”
There was actually a bunch of tips floating behind it.
Bai Siyin stabilized her mood for a while, so that she could continue to maintain her smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and said, "Sister, my sister has been here for so long, don't you say that you will reward your sister for a sip of tea?" My sister's throat is dry. ”
Ye Xinlu: "Tsk, look, I patronized and talked to my sister, and I forgot about this stubble." As he spoke, he turned to the little palace maid standing aside: "Why don't you serve tea soon?!" After a pause, he specially instructed: "Remember to take the best tea of our Guixiangju, the eldest sister is so generous to me, my sister can't be stingy." ”
Seeing Mama Tong enter the house, Ye Xinlu whispered in Mama Tong's ear.
Mama Tong took the order and went out again.
Bai Siyin said strangely: "Third sister, what did you say to Mama Tong?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "Since the two sisters are here, let's stay for dinner, I just asked Mama Tong to do it, even if I take out all my monthly money, I have to entertain the two sisters." ”
Bai Siyin glanced at Bai Qingyin.
Bai Qingyin looked at her face and said in a deep voice: "Third sister, do you know, the emperor has been recruiting the eldest sister every night recently, and the eldest sister is afraid that she is going to accompany the emperor to dinner." ”
Seeing Bai Siyin's face softened, Bai Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief. She was right, and she was more in line with Bai Siyin's heart.
Ye Xinluxin said, if you really want to stay, this girl will only have boiled water for you to drink!
She knew that Bai Siyin would not eat here. Bai Siyin has always been exquisite, and the meals are very exquisite, which is like the original owner and Bai Qingyin, can make do with any meal? Moreover, Bai Huayin is a picking girl, how much money can she make in January? Even if they all take it out to buy a dinner for Bai Siyin, what good dishes can they get?
In fact, Ye Xinlu whispered to Mama Tong just now, asking her to do another thing.
After a while, the little palace maid came with the best tea from Guixiangju.
That Bai Siyin picked up the teacup, and saw that a piece of porcelain had fallen off one side of the teacup, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, how could she entertain her, the imperial concubine, with a broken tea set? looked at Bai Qingyin's teacup again, and then turned his head to look at the teacup in Ye Xinlu's hand, uh, all of them had lost their horns?!
Bai Siyin sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Guixiangju to be so poor!
Bai Qingyin took a sip of tea and put the cup aside, looking as usual.
Bai Siyin didn't think much about it, so she brought the teacup to her mouth and took a sip, who knew that the entrance was bitter and astringent, and there was a musty smell, which made her start to regulate before she could eat it.
Burst! She unconsciously spit out the tea and asked, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Ye Xinlu also picked up the teacup and "drank" it, "It tastes good!" ”
Bai Siyin deliberately looked at the tea leaves in her cup and saw that they were the same as those in her cup, so she was sure that she was not deliberately playing tricks on herself. She said, "I think this tea tastes weird." ”
"Really?" Ye Xin Greenway, her expression was a little dazed, as if she hadn't eaten this tea at all.
Bai Siyin asked Bai Qingyin: "Second sister, you also drank this tea, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
Bai Qingyin saw her look at her, so she guessed her mind again, and said, "Oh, I drink it, and I also think it tastes a little weird." Isn't it...... Has this tea been sitting on for a long time? ”
"Really?" Ye Xin Greenway, immediately slapped under the table, and the little palace maid who came to serve tea was so frightened that she hurriedly ran down.
Ye Xinlu drank and asked the little palace maid: "Bold slave, Ben Cai Nu asked you to get the best tea to entertain the two sisters, what kind of tea are you taking?" ”
The little palace maid trembled and said, "Hui Cai girl, where do we have any tea in Guixiangju?" I searched for this tea from the teahouse for a long time, and only then did I pick out such a little tea from the bottom of an old tea can, which I think was left by the previous master who lived here. ”
"Up...... The last master? Bai Siyin felt chills when she heard it.
Ye Xinlu said curiously: "Yes, who was the last master A who lived here, do you know?" ”
The little palace maid said: "I heard that it was the princess, it seems that she moved to Xiangci Palace with the queen mother when the first emperor died." ”
Xiangci Palace is not a palace, but a group of palaces where the widowed concubines of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager live.
Bai Siyin exclaimed, "Then didn't the last master here move away more than a year ago?" Then this tea ...... "no wonder there is a musty smell." Moreover, what did the little palace maid say just now? A little tea from the bottom of a tea can? In other words, there are no serious tea leaves in the tea jar, these should be residues at the bottom of the jar, and may be the tea residue that has stuck to the bottom of the jar due to moisture?
The little palace maid only buried her head and did not dare to say anything.
Bai Siyin felt more and more uncomfortable in her stomach. I knew that she should have hurried back to the palace, so what tea did she have to eat here?
She actually wanted to find a reasonable reason to get the pearl back that night. Her original intention was just to show the bead to Bai Huayin, and then let Bai Huayin further understand how the emperor favored her, but she never thought that she really wanted to give the bead to Bai Huayin.
You must know that Yibai Huayin's temperament knows that the emperor gave her such a valuable thing, not only is it impossible to accept it, but it is also possible to drop the beads on her in a fit of anger.
When the time came, she pretended to comfort herself, and then left with the beads in a grand manner. In the eyes of everyone, not only is the eldest sister generous and gentle, but also makes everyone feel that Bai Huayin doesn't know how to raise it, which makes Bai Huayin's reputation even more stinky.
