Chapter 267: Thrilling
Not long after Cai Lian and Yam went out, He Xiaoqiao was teaching Suo'er to clean the sea cucumbers in the kitchen. The concierge sent a mother-in-law to pass the word, "Princess Qiyu, there is a girl at the door who claims to be Miss Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, saying that she has come to the house to pay a visit today, do you want to see her?" β
"Miss of the Rite Shoshu family?" He Xiaoqiao repeated blankly, "Who is that?" β
Bai Shou knew more about the capital than He Xiaoqiao, and immediately said when he heard the words, "My subordinates heard that Wang Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has three daughters, but I don't know which one is here." β
He Xiaoqiao has never cared much about inconsequential people, so when Bai Shou reminded her like this, she still couldn't remember who was going to visit her - her social circle was not connected to the backyard of those court officials at all, and the one who walked around the most was Princess Xiangyang, otherwise it was Jiang Mufeng's group of daughters-in-law. At this time, don't say anything about the young lady of the Ministry of Rites, even if the Ministry of Rites is here, she may not recognize it.
Suo'er whispered beside him, "Why don't you go and ask first?" β
He Xiaoqiao waved his hand, "You don't need to come forward for this matter, just let someone outside ask." β
"Yes." Cai Lian was not in the house, so Suo'er took full responsibility for the big girl, wiped his hands when he heard the words, and turned to the door to ask the woman how to speak.
After a while, someone outside came back and forth, "...... said that the young lady's surname was Wang, and her maiden name was Qianzi, and she had a relationship with the princess and princess in the palace a few days ago. β
Wang Qianzi?
He Xiaoqiao had an epiphany. Who did she think it was, but she didn't expect it to be the brainless little white flower that entangled Jiang Fenghao on the day of the Mid-Autumn Banquet!
Strange, what is she here for? Don't want to give up your reputation, do you still want to chase her to the house and grab a man with her?
Seeing He Xiaoqiao frowning, obviously unhappy, Suo'er immediately reacted, puffed out his face and said angrily, "Princess, isn't that purple very annoying?" Don't be upset, slave maid let the porter take a broom and drive her away now! β
"Not really." He Xiaoqiao squinted his eyes, hooked his hand and motioned for Suo'er to come over, and the latter nodded again and again when he heard it, and soon walked out with a smile on his face.
He Xiaoqiao looked at the mother-in-law who came to pass the word, and said with a smile, "Since people have come to visit, I'm embarrassed to lose my etiquette, so let's take her to the hall." β
The mother-in-law took the order and left, He Xiaoqiao looked at the white head next to him, and there was a cunning on his lips that could not be concealed, "How is it?" Accompany me for a trip to see a good show? β
Last time, I was in full view of everyone, so I couldn't do anything to that girl, and now she sent her to the door by herself, and if she didn't take the opportunity to repair her, she wouldn't be called He Xiaoqiao.
Bai Shou had no objection, "No problem." "He is He Xiaoqiao's bodyguard, and when Jiang Fenghao is away, he has to follow her wherever she goesβexcept, of course, bathing, changing, and keeping up with the thatched house.
At this moment, on the other side, Wang Qianzi was also led to the front hall, and at this moment she was sitting on a chair, looking at the surrounding furnishings with jealousy. An ordinary-looking maid was standing behind her, looking left and right with the cloak she had taken off, and when she saw the maids who brought in the refreshments, her face was immediately full of envy.
Although there are two or three sets of new clothes to wear in Shangshu Mansion every year, the fabric is far less than that in the palace, not to mention that the maids here are all wearing golden hairpins, and some of them are still hanging shiny gold bracelets.
No wonder everyone squeezed their heads and thought of being on an errand in Changning Palace, so they rushed to this welfare treatment, and changed her, even if they wanted to climb in!
"Please wait a while, Miss Wang, our princess will be here soon."
The maid's red sleeves smiled and blessed her body, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the gold-inlaid jade earrings hanging on her ears, which really made Wang Qianzi's master and servant look straight again.
A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the red sleeves, and without waiting for Wang Qianzi to react, he turned around and went out gracefully with his waist twisted, leaving the pair of masters and servants in the hall who almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
Wang Qianzi grabbed the armrest of the chair with her hand, and almost couldn't help but twist a large piece of wood from it. This little bitch dares to be so disrespectful to her, and after she enters the house, she will definitely be sold to the kiln as soon as possible, to see if she dares to ignore herself so much again!
"Miss, Miss!" The little maid next to her, Cui'er, suddenly screamed in surprise, pointed to the plate sent by Fang Cai and said excitedly, "It's laughing dates, and glutinous rice balls!" These are all good things that can only be bought in Taibai Building! β
A plate of eight glutinous rice balls costs eight taels, which is her salary for nearly half a year, but I didn't expect that the palace usually uses this to entertain guests.
Wang Qianzi was already jealous in her heart, everything here, including Jiang Fenghao, should have been hers, but she didn't expect that she was only absent for a while, and she actually let a nameless village girl take the lead, no matter what, she couldn't swallow this breath.
Today she came to negotiate with He Xiaoqiao, who would have thought that she would be given a dismount just after a while, and then she saw her maid showing a look of being hungry for hundreds of years, and immediately became angry, and she slapped almost all the things on the table to the ground without thinking about it, and said hatefully, "What a good thing, it's just some cheap things that inferior people eat!" What's worth your cravings? β
He Xiaoqiao saw this scene as soon as he arrived at the door, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and a trace of disgust flashed on his face, but he quickly let the smile replace it.
"It seems that Miss Wang is very dissatisfied with the things in my house, look at this anger." Walking slowly towards the threshold, He Xiaoqiao walked to the main seat and sat down without squinting, and then looked back at Wang Qianzi, whose face was blue and white, and pretended to face the maid and said, "Didn't you let you wait for your life?" Why did it only take a while to make Miss Wang angry? As he spoke, he sighed helplessly, "It's just those who know, if someone who doesn't know sees it, they can't think that Wang Shangshu's family education is bad and he doesn't know how to teach his daughter...... Miss Wang, what do you say? β
Wang Qianzi stiffened her face and didn't speak, and the little maid standing behind her was even more silent, and she didn't dare to gasp.
Seeing this, the corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth hooked, and he clapped his hands and motioned for Red Sleeves and others to come in, "Go, clean up the ground." Then change some 'noble things' for Miss Wang to eat, but don't make these 'decent' things again, lest people laugh at them. β
When Red Sleeves heard this, he raised his head and glanced at He Xiaoqiao aggrievedly, and said in a low voice, "Princess Qiyu, this glutinous rice cake and laughing dates are also loved by the lady in the palace, and ordinary people can't eat them." If you want to find something more 'noble and elegant', the slave doesn't know what to send. β
He Xiaoqiao glanced at her with a smile, and turned his head to look at Wang Qianzi, whose face was flushed, "That being the case, I don't know if Miss Wang has something agreeable in her heart?" When the time comes, the princess will send them to find them again. β
was a guest in someone's house, but in front of the host to lift the food that was sent, although Wang Qianzi was at a loss, but let He Xiaoqiao mock again and again, that little bit of weakness of heart was immediately replaced by jealousy, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile and smiled, "Sister said I laughed, sister, I ......"
"Wait!" He Xiaoqiao lowered her face coldly and interrupted her with a snort, "Miss Wang seems to have misremembered, right?" Your surname is Wang, and the princess's surname is He, they are not a family, what sisters and sisters are you calling? β
In addition to having a problem with her brain, this woman's thickness of her face should not be underestimated!
Wang Qianzi let her snatch the white like this, and she was still a little stunned for a while, and after pausing for a while, she actually pouted aggrievedly, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief with a grievance that she wanted to cry or not, "What the princess said is that after all, it has not become a family yet, it is Zi'er who is too anxious, and Zi'er is wrong......"
He Xiaoqiao watched her perform coldly, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
I heard only a bang, and the tea splashed everywhere, and along with the fragments of the teacup, there were scattered everywhere.
Wang Qianzi didn't expect He Xiaoqiao to suddenly attack, so she fell backwards with a scream, and shrank back on the chair without caring about the water stains on her skirt.
He Xiaoqiao's heart was dark, but his face still maintained a cold appearance, "Miss Wang, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Didn't Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang teach you this? β
"You have come three times and twice to ruin the reputation of my family's prince, what is your intention?"
"I didn't ......" Wang Qianzi was a little stunned, she just wanted to fight for the happiness she deserved, how could she have ruined the reputation of King Changning?
"Dare you say no!" He Xiaoqiao sank his face and stretched out his hand to slap the table, "You are a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, and you can shamelessly want to rely on the prince of my family in front of this princess, and then spread rumors everywhere that you are about to marry into the palace, what a big boldness!" As he spoke, another iron sand palm smashed down on the table, causing the plates on it to jump up twice, "Say!" Did Wang Shangshu teach you to do this? What are your father and daughter's intentions? β
The little maid who came with Wang Qianzi had already fallen to the ground in fright, Wang Qianzi grabbed her handkerchief stiffly, there was no blood on her little face, Rao was like this, and she didn't forget to show Chu Chu pitifully squeezed out a few tears, "It's not like this, princess, you have wronged Zi'er!" β
What kind of rumors, she just mentioned to a few girlfriends once that she was bound to marry into the palace, why did this matter reach the ears of Princess Changning? Could it be that a few of them couldn't see their own good, so they deliberately joined forces to frame her?
Thinking of this, Wang Qianzi suddenly felt angry and hateful in her heart, and she couldn't wait to rush back immediately and slap her girlfriends one by one.
He Xiaoqiao looked at her little white flower appearance and became angry, and drank the fruit tea handed over by Suo'er and pressed it to ease up, "You said that this princess wronged you, so do you have evidence?" β
After all, Wang Qianzi was not too stupid, and immediately reacted when she heard this, biting her lower lip with a look of grievance, "Then what evidence does the princess have to prove that Zi'er is spreading rumors?" β
"It's a hard mouth." He Xiaoqiao sneered, lowered his head and slid his fingertips along the lid of the cup, "Since Miss Wang refuses to tell the truth, the princess has no choice but to show the emperor and the queen mother, and let the two of them 'ask' Wang Shangshu for the princess, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes by the way...... When the time comes, Miss Wang, don't regret it. β
With that, He Xiaoqiao stood up and said in an undeniable tone, "Someone, send off!" β
"No...... No, you can't! β
Since He Xiaoqiao entered the door, he has been passively ridiculed and suppressed, Wang Qianzi is full of wind and snow on weekdays, and he can't react at all at this time, and when he heard He Xiaoqiao say that he wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he immediately panicked.
I heard that the emperor values Princess Changning very much, if this matter goes out, let everyone know that she is shaving her head and spreading rumors that she wants to marry into the palace, once this immeasurable hat is buckled, don't say that she can't marry Jiang Fenghao, but it will be difficult to choose a good family in the future!
No! She can't let this woman ruin her own future after ruining her happiness!
Thinking of this, Wang Qianzi didn't know where the courage came from, so she suddenly pushed away and was about to come over to grab her, and turned around and rushed towards He Xiaoqiao with red eyes-
As long as she dies, as long as she dies, as long as she dies, there is nothing left!
