Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 62
"Wanfu, Eldest Princess, Xuan'er didn't bring anything extra when she came here. I hope Her Highness Eldest Princess will not dislike this thing." While speaking, Qi Xuan had already stood up and walked to the center of the hall. After saluting to Eldest Princess Tingting, The crisp voice came out like an oriole.

As soon as the words fell, the maid behind Qi Xuan responded and handed the big red box painted with gold and engraved flowers into Zhang Nanny's hands. Zhang Nanny immediately opened the box gently under the direction of the eldest princess. There is a South Sea pearl in the center of it. To everyone's surprise, this pearl is a bit bigger than what they usually see. The round and crystal luster surrounds the whole body, which shows the preciousness of this pearl.

The eldest princess glanced at it indifferently, and said: "Such an expensive gift, I have troubled the seventh princess, so I will accept it."

"It's good that the princess likes it." Qi Xuan also pretended to be obedient and nodded when she heard the words, and said softly.

Before coming to Xiao Country, Qi Xuan also put in a lot of effort to collect information about Mu Ziyuan. The eldest princess in front of her once raised Mu Ziyuan, so she must have a lot of weight in front of Mu Ziyuan. She fell in love with herself, and if she hated Chu Ruoying, she might not marry Shizi Jin in the end.

Thinking of this, the smile on Qi Xuan's face became even brighter, and she gave Chu Ruoying a demonstrative look. She thought that Chu Ruoying's things must not be as valuable and brilliant as her own.

Because the gifts Qi Xuan gave were too high, the gifts of the people who came forward afterwards were even more expensive. For a while, fewer and fewer gifts were dared to offer, but they were getting better and better.

At this time, Ye Qianyang was about to walk up with her waist shaking, and bowed to the eldest princess Yingying, "Wanfu, the eldest princess, my daughter's gift has been faded away, and my daughter dared to perform a dance as a gift." Congratulations."

"Alright." The eldest princess' eyes fell on Ye Qianyang, and she seemed to be thinking for a moment before she spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Ye Qianyang immediately went to the side hall to change the dance clothes, and the musicians were also prepared in the center of the banquet living room. After a while, the sound of the guzheng gradually sounded. Winter adds a bit of ethereal and noble beauty.

Hands raised, sleeves danced, and body swaying, attracted the attention of many people for a while. Seeing this, the corners of Ye Qianyang's mouth slightly curled up, and his hands moved with his body. The fluttering skirt matched the fluttering long sleeves, making everyone Amazed.

After dancing for a long time, there were fine beads of sweat on Ye Qianyang's forehead in winter, and she stood in place panting slightly.

"The courtier's ugliness made the eldest princess laugh." Seeing that the eldest princess did not intend to speak, Ye Qianyang's face was slightly stiff, and she said in embarrassment.

"Miss Ye is modest." The eldest princess said in a flat tone without any extra emotion on her face, and she didn't even look at Ye Qianyang more.

Only then did Ye Qianyang salute again, took the cloak handed over by the maid beside her, and returned to her seat.

"I heard that Miss Chu spent a lot of time in the eldest princess's mansion, and now I don't see Miss Chu presenting gifts, but I forgot to prepare?" After Ye Qianyang danced, Qi Xuan took the opportunity to look at Chu Ruoying in doubt. asked.

"My daughter has met the Eldest Princess, and the Eldest Princess is blessed." Chu Ruoying stood up respectfully after hearing the words, her perfect posture didn't seem to be inappropriate at all.

The eldest princess smiled faintly, and said softly: "You don't need to be too polite, Yinger's congratulatory gift today, I like it very much."

Qi Xuan was taken aback when she heard the words, and when she heard the word Ying'er, her expression sank a bit. Many officials in the hall, the eldest princess, called Chu Ruoying's name alone, and a trace of coldness flashed in Qi Xuan's eyes very quickly. Then he said with a stiff smile: "It turns out that Miss Chu has already presented a congratulatory gift, but Xuan'er was too worried, I don't know what the congratulatory gift is, can you take a look?"

What does it mean that she has already presented the gift? These words are obviously following the words of the eldest princess, but in fact it is to say that Chu Ruoying has a heart to curry favor with the eldest princess, so she presented the gift early before everyone presents. In order to impress the eldest princess on Chu Ruoying.

Sure enough, the eyes of all the women looking at Chu Ruoying secretly contained a hint of jealousy and resentment, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The eldest princess grew up in the palace all year round, so how could she not understand the twists and turns, seeing Qi Xuan's slanderous words, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Ying'er's gift is just a gift from the palace. It's just an embroidery, but it's the Seventh Princess' South Sea Pearl, which is worth tens of thousands of gold!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies glared at Qi Xuan again, and the atmosphere in a small piece of world changed again. Qi Xuan's complexion immediately became gloomy, and the anger in her heart was almost uncontrollable.

Chu Ruoying didn't seem to have seen the scene in front of her, she just smiled lightly, but immediately, her eyes raised slightly again, and a woman not far from the banquet hall was walking slowly, wearing a bright yellow dress. There is a white cloak on the outside, like a flower bud waiting to bloom.

"My daughter Yun Qianqian, I have met the eldest princess." Yun Qianqian has never known what it means to be low-key, so she walked to the center of the banquet hall in such a grand manner, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Feeling that the third prince Jun Yao's eyes fell on her, Yun Qianqian couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that if the third prince took a fancy to her, it would be good to make herself a side concubine.

With a smile on her face, Yun Qianqian asked the people behind her to present congratulatory gifts. Nanny Zhang opened the box immediately after receiving it. There was a piece of black jade in the box, which had not yet been carved into a jade pendant.

Black jade is rare in Changxing, so compared to South Sea pearls, it is also a rare and precious treasure. Suddenly, the eyes of everyone looking at Yun Qianqian changed a lot.

The Eldest Princess looked away from Yun Qianqian's congratulatory gift, and landed on Yun Qianqian's face, her eyes became much gentler, and she said kindly, "You are Yun Qianqian, the young lady of the Yun family?"

Yun Qianqian only felt that her chest tightened slightly, obviously the eldest princess's tone was considered gentle, but she felt a feeling of being out of breath, and sweat leaked from her palms, Yun Qianqian couldn't help lowering her head and clenched her fists tightly , said softly: "Princess Hui, yes."

At this time, Chu Ruoying had quietly retreated to her seat, watching Yun Qianqian's shy eyes looking at Jun Yao from time to time in the center of the hall, she smiled secretly in her heart, it seemed that Yun Qianqian had a deep affection for Jun Yao.

"Cousin Yun's cloak is really beautiful, is it made by a white fox?" Everyone's eyes were focused on the piece of black jade, only Ye Qianyang looked straight at Yun Qianqian's cloak, with an unfathomable smile on his lips .

Yun Qianqian was taken aback when she heard this, and unconsciously touched the material of the cloak with both hands. Before, she only thought that the cloak was warm and comfortable to wear, but she didn't think the material was so precious. Thinking of this, she inadvertently looked at Chu Ruo Yingying, seeing that although her expression was calm, there was a hint of urgency in her eyes, she thought about it, and said with a smile: "My cousin also knows that my sister is always afraid of the cold, so I did everything possible to find this cloak."

Hearing what Yun Qianqian said, Chu Ruoying was not at all surprised, but an angry look appeared on her face.Seeing that Chu Ruoying's face changed but she didn't dare to do anything else, Yun Qianqian was secretly happy. If she said that this cloak was hers in front of so many people, no matter how unwilling Chu Ruoying was, she would not dare to do anything. General So what about the prostitute's daughter in the mansion, she just watched herself take the cloak away.

Yun Qianqian only cared about her self-satisfaction, but didn't see the chill in Ye Qianyang's eyes after she admitted the cloak, and the wine glass that Jun Yao held tightly for a moment. Seeing Yun Qianqian's eyes thrown over from time to time, Jun Yao smiled faintly, He lowered his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his lowered eyes were full of calculations.

"Cousin Yun has been wearing this cloak since she came here?" Although Yun Qianqian was the only one wearing a white cloak among the crowd, Ye Qianyang still had doubts in her heart, so she asked again.

"Yes." Yun Qianqian lowered her head halfway, looking obedient.

The most taboo thing in a banquet is being too aggressive, but now Yun Qianqian first attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet with a piece of black jade, and now a cloak of a white fox made all the girls jealous.

Yun Qianqian was about to sit down at the table, but Qi Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you see Miss Yun's cloak before? Did Miss Yun meet this princess before the banquet?"

Yun Qianqian paused, her eyes flustered a little, her hands under the cloak clenched tightly into fists, and her voice was calm, "The princess is peerless, Qianqian has always admired the princess, but Qianqian's status is humble, and she has never met the princess before. Maybe the princess accidentally saw Qianqian in the garden."

Everyone likes to hear compliments. Hearing what Yun Qianqian said, Qi Xuan smiled charmingly, and her eyes wandered to Mu Ziyuan, but found that Mu Ziyuan didn't look at her, and there was a flash of annoyance in his eyes, and he was not complacent. Picked up the wine glass again.

Half an hour later, all the congratulatory gifts had been displayed, and everyone had almost eaten their meals. The Eldest Princess went back to the house to rest a little tired, and let everyone play freely in the mansion.

As soon as Chu Ruoying and Xia Zhiqi walked out of the banquet hall, someone came to invite them to go to the kiosk for poetry solitaire. Chu Ruoying and Xia Zhiqi naturally nodded in agreement.

Most of the women in the pavilion have met once or twice, although they are not familiar with each other, they have also had some friendship. For a while, the poems and words in the small pavilion continued, and the women's laughter spread far away.

"Ziyuan, your fiancée is not simple." Yin Yizhu leaned lazily on the tree trunk, with a faint smile on his lips, adding a bit of charm, and the royal blue robe was even more suitable for Zhilan Yushu.

On the other hand, Mu Ziyuan stood beside Yingfeng without saying a word, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his long black hair was tied up with a jade crown made of cold iron, and his strong black outfit gave him a more decisive aura. , making people feel fearful in their hearts, but they looked at Chu Ruoying in the pavilion with a touch of tenderness in their dark eyes.
