Chapter 25 Birthday Gifts
When Qilinxi came to Xue's mansion, Xue Qi had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, although Qilinxi's age was still a child for Xue Qi, but he had no choice but to crush people to death at the level of the official, no, this is not a big problem for the official, it is enough to crush Xue Qi by birth. Therefore, Xue Qi didn't dare to snub the 14-year-old prince in front of him, and hurriedly arched his hand forward and said: "Minister, Xue Qi, waiting for the prince to come." ”
Qi Linxi skillfully turned over and dismounted, raised his eyes to look at the door of Xue Mansion, and glanced around casually, "Huh? I saw Qi Linxi's gaze fall on the mansion opposite the Xue family, "Jun family? Could it be ......" Qi Linxi pondered to himself for a moment, and then raised his feet and stepped onto the steps of Xue Mansion.
Xue Qi raised his hand and bent over to welcome Qilin Xi into the front hall, and after giving up the main seat to Qilin Xi, he instructed Steward Xu to bring Biluochun up, and he sat in the guest seat a little nervously. Of course, Qi Linxi saw Xue Qi's uneasiness, picked up the freshly brewed Biluochun, gently brushed the tea lid, and a strong tea fragrance came to his nose. The cup of Biluochun in Qilinxi's hand is naturally not as good as those teas in the palace, but because of Jun Mufeng's cup of bitter mustard tea, the cup of Biluochun presented by Xue Qi is simply the best in the world for Qilinxi.
Qi Linxi slowly sipped the tea while observing Xue Qi quietly. This Xue Qi is only 26 years old, and his face should be loyal and honest, and he didn't plan to visit him when he came to Qu Jingcheng, so he didn't know much about his situation. After thinking about it, Qi Linxi spoke: "Lord Xue, don't panic, this king came to Qujing City this time, not because of any orders, but just happened to pass by. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he didn't come to find trouble, he would save half of his master's head. "It's just that this king heard that Lord Xue's wife is very good at embroidery, and it just so happens that the king's mother, Concubine Ning Guifei, is about to celebrate her birthday, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to ask for a birthday gift?"
Xue Qi heard this, and hurriedly said: "Although the embroidery of the inner man is a small success, but as a birthday gift for this Ning Guifei, the minister is a little afraid. "Lord Xue, don't be modest, your lady's embroidery has been seen by this king, otherwise how would this king come to the door to ask for it?" I also hope that Lord Xue will be fulfilled. ”。
Xue Qi was stunned after hearing this, this Bright Star King has seen Li'er's embroidery? It shouldn't. Seeing that Xue Qi was a little stunned, Qilin Xi coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what Lord Xue wants?" ”。 Qilin Xi has talked about this, how dare Xue Qi say no? Just kidding, if you don't say a word, I'm afraid that a hundred heads for yourself will not be enough to cut off. "Please wait a while, and the minister will call the insider." After Xue Qi finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned Steward Xu: "Call Mrs. here." Steward Xu nodded and ran quickly to the backyard.
Qin Yuli is taking care of Luo Yan's bed at this time, the villain's cheeks are red and fluttering because of fever, as if dyed with rouge, and there is a wet towel on his forehead that has just passed the cold water, Qin Yuli is patting Luo Yan's hand for a while, wanting to give a little comfort to the little girl who is restless.
"Madam, Steward Xu is asking to see you outside the courtyard." White Sugar Cake knocked on the door and whispered. Butler Xu? What is he doing in this backyard? Isn't it time to wait for the Bright Star King with the master? Although she was a little puzzled, Qin Yuli still put Luo Yan's hand into the quilt, stood up and replied, "Got it." After opening the door, Qin Yuli told the white sugar cake to take care of the wild goose, and then walked out of the small courtyard.
Steward Xu saw Qin Yuli coming over, and said respectfully: "Madam, the master has invited Madame to the front hall." "The Frontroom? Qin Yuli was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "But the Bright Star King is here?" Is the lord okay now? As soon as Steward Xu saw Qin Yuli like this, he knew that she must have misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Madame is at ease, the lord is fine, the prince has already arrived at the house." ”
Knowing that Xue Qi was fine, Qin Yuli also relieved his heart, and when he heard that King Yaoxing was already in the front hall, he raised his hand to support the hairpin on his head and tidied up the clothes on his body, and nodded to Steward Xu: "Let's go." ”
When the two came to the front hall, Qilinxi was chatting with Xue Qi with a match, Qilinxi was very casual, Xue Qi was not, every time he said a word, he had to speculate in his heart, afraid that he would accidentally anger this little prince. When Xue Qiru was sitting on pins and needles and sweating, Steward Xu took Qin Yuli to the front hall, "Courtesy Qin Yuli, meet the King of Yaoxing." Qin Yuli half-squatted and bowed with his side, waiting for Qilin Xi to speak. Qilin Xi was also very simple, raised his hand to help him, and then said: "This king heard that Mrs. Xue's embroidery is very good, I wonder if Mrs. can do this king a favor?" ”
As soon as Qin Yuli heard this, how dare he hold it up, and said modestly: "Thanks to the prince's love, the embroidery of the courtiers can only be regarded as acceptable, and it is really not as ...... as the prince boasted" Without waiting for Qin Yuli to finish speaking, Qilinxi waved his hand and said: "This king has seen the double-sided embroidered screen ornament you embroidered, so Mrs. Mo is no longer modest." ”
Qin Yuli and Xue Qi were stunned at the same time, wasn't that screen for Jun Mufeng? Does this Shining Star King know him? However, Qi Linxi didn't plan to explain it to the two of them, so he only continued: "The end of this month is the birthday of the princess of this queen, and this king hopes that Mrs. Xue can embroider a birthday gift, I wonder if Mrs. can fulfill this king?" ”
After listening to this, Qin Yuli calculated in his heart, at the end of this month, there are 23 days left, and the time is neither too much nor too little, since the Yaoxing King has repeatedly spoken, he can't refuse no matter what, so he said to Qilin Xi: "Courtiers give it a try." Hearing this, Qilinxi breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he doesn't like to do this kind of thing at all when he sees officials, and he is really tired and panicked to talk on the shelf, but the first time he came to the door is to ask someone to do things for him, and he really doesn't know how to open this mouth if he doesn't show the identity of the prince.
"The king of tomorrow will transport the Yunjin cloth to his wife quickly, and the king does not ask for this embroidery to shine, but only for Mrs. Xue to complete it on time." After Qi Linxi finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to drink Biluochun with a teacup, "It's finally a matter of heart." Kirin Nozomi thought so.
At this moment, Steward Xu walked into the front hall briskly and said in Xue Qi's ear, "The young master of the Jun family is here,." Xue Qi was a little puzzled, Qin Yuli only coaxed him back in the morning, why did he come again this afternoon? But after thinking about it, it seems that this Shining Star King knows him, otherwise how could those guards at the door let him in? Xue Qi pondered for a while, and said to Steward Xu, "Let him come in." Steward Xu answered, turned around and walked towards the gate.
