Chapter 133: Birthday Gift
Listening to Yue'er's words, the faces of everyone in front of the gate of the Splendid Palace were different.
Xiao Xuan and the others were okay, and after showing a little surprise on their faces, they regained their composure.
Xiao squinted at Su Xuedai, she remembered that the last time she was in Nanwangfu, she also asked Su Xuedai to enter with them first, and at that time she thought it was for the face of the prince's fiancΓ©e, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.
And Xiao Qin stared at Su Xuedai and Yan Yao with complicated eyes, as if she wanted to see through something.
Staring at the faintly unhappy gaze of the two princesses, Su Xuedai and Yan Yao glanced at each other, with helplessness on their faces. Immediately, Su Xuedai smiled and said to Yue'er, "We are preparing to go with the county lord of Anping to meet Sister Huang." "Now that you've guessed it, it's no longer a secret.
As soon as Xiao and Xiao Qin heard Su Xuedai's name for Xiao Huang, their faces changed again.
Yue'er, on the other hand, had crooked eyes, and hurriedly said enthusiastically, "In this case, you can come in with the slaves." β
"Xiao who just scolded Su Xuedai and the others for leaving.
Yue'er blessed Xiao and Xiao Qin again, "The two princesses walked slowly, and the slave and maid retired first." β
Xiao and Xiao Qin stiffened their faces, pulled the corners of their mouths and nodded. If it weren't for the fact that this maid was brought into the palace from the Nanwang Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that this maid was Xiao Huang's maid, if it wasn't for the hateful Nanwang Mansion!
Seeing this, Su Xuedai and the others immediately followed behind Yue'er, and when they passed by Xiao Xiaoqin's side, they were also blessed with a decent body, and they saw that Xiao and the others were depressed again.
After Su Xuedai and the others came to the Splendid Palace, Xiao Xuan and Ni Shihui met Xiao Huang and then silently found a reason to retreat first. It was not because Xiao Huang wanted to see Su Xuedai and Yan Yao that they were able to see Xiao Huang first, at this time, everyone was quite clear, and naturally they would not leave without eyes.
And with the departure of Xiao Xuan and the others, Xiao Huang also waved the palace maid back. After waiting in the huge dormitory, only Su Xuedai and their respective personal maids were left, Xiao Huang instantly lost his graceful momentum, and strode in front of Su Xuedai with the appearance of a child begging for a gift, and directly stretched out his slender jade hand to Su Xuedai and said, "What about my birthday gift?" β
Su Xuedai, whose face was slightly twitching, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Huang, who looked expectant, and then smiled, "Sister Huang, don't worry, your birthday gift is naturally brought, but when you enter the palace, all of it will be handed over to the head of the palace to be collected, and it is estimated that it will be sent to the Splendid Palace soon."
Xiao Huang squinted at Su Xuedai and said, "Then I promise that I like this gift you said, if I don't like it, I will give another one to count?" β
Su Xuedai lowered her eyebrows and looked at the snow brocade on Xiao Huang's body, and then looked at Xiao Huang, the person who can wear the snow brocade comparable to the silkworm brocade on his body still cares about his own gifts, it's true
"Yes, yes, I can help Sister Huang testify, Sister Xue Dai did say so." Yan Yao on the side covered her mouth and smiled again after speaking.
Su Xuedai turned her head to look at Yan Yao, who was still on the same front as her, and then rebelled again in an instant.
"Sister Huang, don't worry, what Xue Dai said naturally counts." Su Xuedai was stared at by Xiao Huang like this, and the pressure was slightly greater, and she replied helplessly. She didn't believe that her special fireworks would not be able to subdue Xiao Huang's heart!
Xiao Huang received an affirmative answer, so he nodded with a satisfied face, and then turned to Yan Yao's direction and said, "What does Yao'er have for me?" I'm looking forward to it too. β
"Yan Yao, retribution came so quickly.
This time it was Su Xuedai's turn to purse her lips and bend her eyes, half-covering her mouth.
Sure enough, as Su Xuedai said, before Yan Yao could answer Xiao Huang's words, a maid from a palace came in outside the gate of the Splendid Palace, and told Xiao Huang that the birthday gift given to Xiao Huang by the daughter of the family had been placed in the Splendid Palace.
Xiao Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he didn't care that Yan Yao hadn't answered his words, so he pulled Su Xuedai and Yan Yao and hurriedly walked to the side hall.
Su Xuedai shook her head, she was really anxious.
In the imperial garden, Bai Wanqing showed up in Bai Yurong's circle of friends, and after brushing a wave of good feelings, she went to rest alone under the pretext of being unwell.
Without the girls paying attention, Bai Wanqing came to a high place near the pond in the Imperial Garden according to the memory in her mind.
With just one glance, Bai Wanqing recognized that the man in the pavilion in the dark clothes in the spacious place across the distance was Xiao Jin, the king of the South.
has not changed, he is still like that jade tree in the wind, and his instrument is lofty. Such a man is the man she cares about and loves in her heart, and he is also the man who can be worthy of her in this world, and she is also the only woman in this world who can be worthy of him!
Looking at the dark clothes, and then looking at his bright clothes today, the corners of Bai Wanqing's mouth were slightly hooked, and he still remembered that he had praised her style in this dress at that time, and today it was to let him remember himself at a glance, so he would
Thinking of this, Bai Wanqing's heart was sweet again, because when she stood with Xiao Jin in this dress, someone had praised her talented and beautiful appearance. Today, she also wants others to know that she is the one who is a good match for Xiao Jinlang's talented woman!
Bai Wanqing withdrew her gaze from Xiao Jin's affection, turned around and glanced back again, and then slowly walked in the direction of the women in the imperial garden. According to Xiao Huang when he teased her, on her birthday this year, the young lady of the Jiang family confessed to Xiao Jin regardless of the woman's reserve.
Although she was ignored by Xiao Jin, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of it.
So
Splendid Palace.
"This smell of gunpowder is your birthday gift to me?" Xiao Huang frowned, looked at the small thing and asked Su Xuedai dissatisfiedly. Xiao Huang has been trained to work with a group of guards since she was a child, so she is somewhat involved in some weapons, and as for gunpowder, she knew it all because she accidentally blew up a mountain in the training camp. After that time, she was reprimanded by his eldest brother for a long time, so that now she is far away when she encounters gunpowder.
Su Xuedai smiled lightly, "Sister Huang has a good sense of smell, but I'm not the gunpowder you use to blow up the hills." β
The corners of Xiao Huang's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that he shouldn't tell Su Xuedai and Yan Yao about his past troubles!
Su Xuedai saw that Xiao Huang's complexion was different, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was greater, and it was also because she remembered the gunpowder that Xiao Huang said, so she thought of making a birthday gift for fireworks, but although the fireworks were beautiful, they were fleeting, so she was actually still preparing for the real birthday gift, and she couldn't take it out so quickly.
And Yan Yao on the side, looking at the confrontation between Su Xuedai and Xiao Huang, silently stole the fun. Now she can be smart and never stand in line, otherwise she will accidentally get into the trap again.
however
"It's a pity that I don't like the birthday gift of gunpowder, I'm not satisfied with this." Xiao Huang said proudly, as if he was waiting for her to prepare a new birthday gift. Without waiting for Su Xuedai to react, Xiao Huang immediately turned to Yan Yao, who was covering her mouth and stealing fun, and said, "I'm still going to see the birthday gift that Yao'er prepared for me?" β
"Why didn't you talk to you but still fell into the pit? The smile on Yan Yao's face froze, and then she watched Xiao Huang look around for the birthday gift she brought.
After a long time, Xiao Huang finally turned out a beautiful brocade box among the many birthday gifts.
Xiao Huang was a little disappointed in her heart, she had never loved jewelry, but thinking that this was a birthday gift brought by Yan Yao, she still opened the brocade box with a smile and anticipation.
When a short knife inlaid with jewels came into his eyes, Xiao Huang's eyes were really happy.
"Yao'er still understands me!" Xiao Huang took the short knife in his hand, made a few gestures in mid-air from time to time, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Su Xuedai and said deliberately, "Good knife, I'm afraid this is a famous knife, right?" β
Su Xuedai still smiled lightly, but looked at the short knife in Xiao Huang's hand, and her eyes moved.
"Sister Huang has good eyesight, this short knife was indeed obtained by my father by accident in the hands of friends in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that it was cast by a famous knife maker, but Sister Huang, don't misunderstand Sister Xue Dai, I heard that Sister Xue Dai spent several days in her Xue Dai Pavilion for this birthday ceremony. I didn't waste anything with this knife, but Sister Xuedai made it as a gift by herself. Yan Yao looked at Xiao Huang and then at Su Xuedai, who was smiling lightly, and then spoke. She doesn't want to enter this pit, if you want to talk about a famous knife, in fact, Xiao Huang, as the only county lord in Nanwangfu, has seen less? In her opinion, this is completely the appearance of provoking Xue Dai's sister.
Xiao Huang was stunned when he heard this, then he glared at Yan Yao angrily, looked at the things on the ground, and then looked at Su Xuedai, and Liu Mei frowned again, "Okay, I want to see what's different about this!" "Since Fang Cai Xuedai said that she would not blow up the hills, then this palace should not be in the way.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huang put the short knife in his hand back into the brocade box, and then walked towards the thing that was not small, "Sister Xue Dai, does this thing just need to be lit here with a fire fold?" β
Su Xuedai smiled and nodded.
Xiao Huang immediately turned to the direction of Yue'er on the side, and with a glance Yue'er walked out, and after a while, he took the fire fold.
"Sister Huang, slow down." Just when Xiao Huang opened the fire fold and was about to ignite the fuse, Su Xuedai stopped her mouth without hurrying.
Xiao Huang raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Xuedai.
"Xue Dai's birthday gift can't be seen at this time, and it can only be shown after it gets dark." Su Xuedai said with a smile.
Xiao Huang hadn't said anything yet, but the face of the maid Yue'er beside her could already interpret what Xiao Huang was thinking at this time.
This is definitely because she loves the birthday gift given by Yao'er and deliberately provokes in front of her, so she deliberately waits until they are all ready to light this thing before she opens her mouth to stop it in a hurry, this Xuedai Xiao Huang handed over the fire fold in her hand to Yue'er, and glared at Su Xuedai with an unhappy face, causing Su Xuedai to smile even more.
That's when it happened.
"The county lord of Ronghuang is healthy, the hour is not early, and the mother specially ordered the slave maid to come over and invite the county lord to go to the imperial garden." The big palace maid beside the concubine Niangniang came to the side hall with the front leader of the palace maid in the Splendid Palace, and said respectfully.
When Xiao Huang heard this, he immediately returned to his usual grace in front of people, then nodded lightly, glanced at Su Xuedai and Yan Yao, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the door of the side hall first.
Su Xuedai and Yan Yao glanced at each other, patted the clothes that had never been wrinkled, and followed closely behind Xiao Huang. Well, this time it's time to be in the limelight.
The big palace maid beside the concubine Niangniang quietly looked up at Su Xuedai and Yan Yao, and then immediately retracted her gaze and followed behind a few people.
In the imperial garden, the ladies of the family have enjoyed the scenery for a long time, and now they are sitting on the table with tea and snacks.
"The fourth princess has arrived!"
"The Sixth Princess has arrived!"
A sharp voice suddenly sounded.
The women hurriedly stood up and saluted to the arch of the Imperial Garden.
After Xiao and Xiao Qin arrived, they first looked around, and when they saw that Xiao Xuan and the others were not Su Xuedai and Yan Yao beside them, their faces turned slightly cold.
But before they could think much, the father-in-law's voice sounded again.
"Lord Ronghuang has arrived!"
The women got up again and blessed themselves at the arch.
Xiao and Xiao Qin immediately turned their heads when they heard this, and when they saw that the two women behind Xiao Huang were really Su Xuedai and Yan Yao, their brows furrowed for no reason, but they didn't say anything.
When the other ladies of the family saw Su Xuedai and Yan Yao and Xiao Huang appear together, after meeting those surprised and envious eyes, Su Xuedai and Yan Yao's faces did not change, and their eyes did not squint.
"It's a coincidence, we actually arrived with Sister Huang, and we came together when we knew this." Xiao seemed to have forgotten how he had been treated coldly by Xiao Huang before, and said with a smile at this time. As for the matter of Su Xuedai and Yan Yao, she was just the only county lord who the future princess wanted to tie up with the Southern Palace, who knew that it was just right for Xiao Huang's weird appetite, so she came together. And Yan Yao, who made his father a general? Nanwangfu should take care of one or two more!
In front of outsiders, Xiao Huang will always be the lord of Ronghuang County with a strange and taciturn personality, so when Xiao finished speaking, she just glanced at Xiao and answered lightly without replying, but in the eyes of the women, she felt that it was really normal.
However, for Xiao Huang's strange temperament, I am afraid that it is another layer of cognition in their hearts.
Just when Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiaoqin sat down in their top positions, the big palace maid beside the concubine Niangniang immediately stood up and said, "The concubine Niangniang has a purpose, the time is not early, and the birthday banquet will start immediately, please take a seat in the small family." β
The women hurriedly sat down, but only the corner was left for Su Xuedai and Yan Yao.
Su Xuedai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and pulled Yan Yao and wanted to walk to the empty corner.
"Miss Su, Miss Yan has quite a good conversation with the county lord, so she will sit next to the county lord so as not to be bored." Xiao Huang is worthy of being the county lord of Nanwangfu, and it is estimated that she is the only one who dares to say so bluntly that the banquet specially held by the concubine Niangniang will be boring.
