Chapter 569 Hongmen Banquet
Li Yunniang was in a difficult position, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Xia Qianqian's sleeve.
Li Yunniang really lacks ways to deal with these cunning and willful young ladies.
Xia Qianqian was anxious, but she also knew that she had to arrange everything in an orderly manner so that nothing serious would happen.
She stopped and reminded in a warm voice: "Actually, I am not a professional makeup artist, the ladies and ladies around you are."
"They know your face shape and appearance, and combined with your daily preferences, they will definitely be able to create a good makeup look."
She pointed to a pile of cosmetics on the table and explained enthusiastically: "Good things are good in anyone's hands."
"At that time, after you try it out, which one you like, just tell us and we will make it and deliver it to your door."
Her explanation immediately relieved everyone's anger.
What's more, it's not that the little girl doesn't want to put on makeup for them, Mrs. E invited her over.
Whoever is blatantly preventing Xia Qianqian from leaving at this moment is not working against Mrs. E?
In front of Aunt Chang, everyone laughed and said: "Mrs. E wants to see you for something, so go quickly. If there is a chance, we all would also like to hear about the heroic deeds of the girl who practiced medicine and saved people."
"How can a little girl dare to call herself...?" Hero Xia Qianqian said in greeting.
Before she could say anything, Grandma Chang who was waiting impatiently said with a cold face: "Girl, hurry up. Don't make Madam wait too long."
"That's that!" Xia Qianqian wished everyone a blessing and quickly walked to Grandma Chang, "Mammy, let's go."
The two of them came out of the food street one after another, turned a corner, passed through the Huahai Garden, passed through several arches, and came to a courtyard.
After Grandma Chang went in to make the announcement, she came out again and stood at the door and called her, "Madam, let you in."
To be honest, Xia Qianqian was unsure.
E Qiaomei and Zhao Shu are husband and wife, and they are one body.
Therefore, she was a little worried that this invitation was a Hongmen Banquet.
As she stood hesitating at the door, E Qiaomei's voice came from inside, "Miss Xia is here, why don't you come in?"
Secretly, Xia Qianqian took a deep breath, moved her steps slightly, and walked out the door.
She suddenly looked away.
It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided.
Today, even if this is a Hongmen Banquet, she must try it out.
Stepping into the front door, the light in front of my eyes dimmed, and there was a woman in a lotus-colored dress sitting in front of the round table in the front hall.
She caressed her temples and looked in the mirror. On her delicate hair, a purple magnolia flower hairpin was particularly dazzling.
"I heard that you are very busy, but I couldn't help but call you here. I don't want to delay your business."
Her voice is soft and sweet, and her raised eyebrows have a bit of youthful vitality unique to a girl.
E Qiaomei at this time is completely different from her state in front of everyone.
Xia Qianqian thought to herself.
Calculated by age, E Qiaomei is only twenty years old. When following Zhao Shu, she has to pretend to be the matron of the house, sit calmly and upright, and she probably also pretends to be uncomfortable.
"Madam, you are joking!"
Xia Qianqian entered the door, and when she was about to bend her knees to receive a blessing, the person in front of the bronze mirror came over first, gave her a little support, and said politely: "Don't salute. Your Highness has spared you the gift, how can I bear it?"
Zhao Shu once said this sentence when he was in Liushang Garden.
It was the right time, so it was nothing.
E Qiaomei mentioned it at this time, but her words made people feel sour.
"Ahem..." A slight cough came from behind, and Grandma Chang interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Madam, after a while, dinner will begin."
E Qiaomei came back to her senses and said, "Come and sit down. I have no one to chat with, so I just want to chat with you for a while."
No one?
All the ladies and ladies invited by Yunlan Villa are your close friends. They are all here for you. Why is there no one to chat with?
Xia Qianqian didn't understand what the person in front of her meant, but she didn't see Zhao Shu here, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, just say whatever you want to talk about."
E Qiaomei smiled faintly, stretched out her hand to hold Xia Qianqian's hand, led her to the round table, and whispered: "Actually, you have also seen it. Yunlan Villa holds a flower appreciation festival. Counting this year, this is the fifth thought.
."
"In the fifth year, we finally welcome the arrival of His Highness the Xian King." E Qiaomei said after a pause, "I am truly honored."
"Your Highness is here, and I have some rough people under my command. I don't know how to entertain him?"
E Qiaomei smiled sincerely and said, "You are familiar with His Highness. Can you tell me His Highness's preferences so that we can serve him well?"
When she talked about His Highness, she could not hide the shyness between her eyebrows, and her fair cheeks could not help but be stained with a touch of red.
When Xia Qianqian looked at her, she couldn't help it, and her eyes couldn't help but dodge.
"This..." Xia Qianqian pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
A gust of wind blew in from the open window.
The summer wind carries the scorching heat, but Xia Qianqian feels a chill on her back.
A bold idea jumped out of her heart and was about to come out.
"Madam really cares about His Highness. Have you ever been a good friend of His Highness?" She answered without asking.
"My family is in the capital, so I have naturally seen him since I was a child." E Qiaomei explained lightly.
It’s because we’ve met before, not because we’re familiar with each other.
Xia Qianqian naturally understands the meaning.
"His Highness is famous far and wide, and naturally he is highly respected by everyone in the capital." Xia Qianqian echoed, "Actually, I only met His Highness by chance."
"I am a farm girl. I can weave dustpans, grind beans to make tofu, make noodles, and forge iron to make rake designs..."
"I have been used to hard work since I was a child. I have done everything, so I know how to do everything. Because my father was a country doctor, I have been exposed to medicine since I was a child."
"I saved Mr. Hu last time. He was grateful to me, so he gave me a wooden sign and asked me to come to Madam's villa to set up a stall."
"His Royal Highness the King Xian accidentally learned that I knew how to make incense, so he also helped me and asked me to set up a stall."
Xia Qianqian gave a simple explanation of her relationship with His Highness the Xian King.
E Qiaomei seemed to believe it, but blurted out: "He would never do such a thing for an unknown girl."
"That's natural." Xia Qianqian thought for a moment and decided to ask for directions, pretending to be mysterious and lowering her voice, "Because he needs me."
"He needs you?" E Qiaomei looked confused.
"Of course." Xia Qianqian looked at Aunt Chang behind her and whispered: "He won't let me tell others. But if Madam wants to ask, I can tell you, but others..."
"Aunt Chang, you go out first..." E Qiaomei said decisively.
"But..."
"Get out!"
Grandma Chang had no choice but to glare at Xia Qianqian, then walked out slowly and guarded the door.
Chapter completed!
