After such a commotion, everyone had no intention of continuing to drink and talk.
Jinxi also felt that the gifts had been given and the meeting had taken place. Although the lunch was not enjoyed to the fullest, the host looked unhappy, so he had better be wise and get out of the way quickly.
There were many people who thought like her. After a while, everyone found an excuse to stand up and say goodbye, each going back to his own home, so that the prince could find Xiang Keyu in time to prevent her from running around in the palace.
It was a small matter to offend the nobleman and lose her own life, but it would be embarrassing to lose the prince's face as well...
Jinxi was led by Yinzhen, and together with Yinzhen and Yinzhen, they walked to Yanxi Palace where Concubine Yi lived.
Leaving aside Minrong's relationship, when she was working as an errand in the Queen Mother's Palace, Concubine Yi loved her from the bottom of her heart. Now that she has married Yinzhen and joined the royal family, she still has to pay a visit to Concubine Yi.
, and sent her a few messages from my mother-in-law.
If she and Yinzhen hadn't come together, Concubine Yi might have let one of her two sons marry her. Jinxi couldn't help but think of marrying either Yinzhen or Yinzhen.
One black line,
They were still just little kids, so they wanted to marry each other one by one. If Yinzhen, a sinister boy with Ying Hao's soul, hadn't appeared beside her appropriately, she really wouldn't have known how to make a choice.
…
Thinking that before she was engaged to Yinzhen, she had always vowed to take the road of "entering the palace as a palace maid and leaving the palace to pursue a career", and now she had a complete epiphany: how could she have any choice after entering the palace...
Therefore, it is better to hug your husband’s thigh tightly and watch the door of your own courtyard.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are unfair." As soon as Yinzhi said it, he was deeply dissatisfied. He finally brought back Jinxi's wandering thoughts.
"How is it unfair?" Jinxi looked back at Yinzhen in confusion, then turned to look at Yinzhen beside her, asking with her eyes: What's wrong with him?
Yinzhen shrugged and gave an innocent look that said, "How do you know?"
On the other hand, Yinzhen was walking behind them. His right hand was still flexibly spinning the purple jade flute given to him by Jinxi. He glanced at Yiqi beside him with a half-smile and said casually: "Fifth brother is jealous.
.”
"Jealous? What are you jealous of?" Jinxi became more and more confused.
Yinqi glanced at Yinzhen, then glanced at the purple jade flute in the boy's hand, and complained sadly: "The fourth sister-in-law gave the ninth brother a precious purple jade flute, but she only gave it to me.
A set of four treasures of the study. Even the gifts from the eldest brother and the third brother are better than mine
It's good. It's a light-bone ebony fan. The eighth brother's and tenth brother's are not bad either. It's a Western watch..." The seventh brother's is a pair of light Western wristwatches, but even if they are rare, he doesn't need them.
Come on, in order to prevent the fourth sister-in-law from teasing me, I’d better not mention it.
"Oh? So you think the gift I gave you is unfair..." Jinxi suddenly realized it. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart, thinking that Yinqi was about the same age as her, a full two years older than Yinzhen. He was still a year old.
He is jealous of a meeting gift. He is really a child who has not yet grown up. Fortunately, he does not have to marry him, otherwise, wouldn’t he be exhausted? Being a wife and a mother at the same time...
Fortunately, Yinqi didn't know Jinxi's inner activities, otherwise he would have vomited to death. After all, he is also the fifth elder brother. Although he is not as stable and outstanding as the fourth elder brother, among all the elder brothers, he can be regarded as an outstanding person with both civil and military skills.
The prince is actually regarded by Jinxi as a little brat who still needs to be taken care of...
The reason why he complained so much was because he hoped that Jinxi would also give him a purple jade flute. If that didn't work, a purple jade whistle would also work. It was made of purple jade anyway, and it was better than his set of four treasures of the study that had been indispensable for thousands of years.
ah……
"Uh... Fifth brother, Fourth Sister-in-law thinks that you like reciting poems and painting, so you will definitely like this set of Four Treasures of the Study. Fourth Sister-in-law had people specially find these from the southwest. There is no such good set in Liulichang.
Although the appearance is ordinary, the quality is not bad. The inkstone is still a Zhenzong black jade inkstone. I only collected four sets in total. You four sets.
One set for my brother, one for Huang Ama, one for my eldest brother, and the remaining set will be given to you. No one else wants it..." Jinxi stopped, looked at Yinqi apologetically and explained: "Ninth brother
I got this purple jade flute by chance, because I learned that he likes to play the flute, so I gave it to him. It may not be that easy to find another one..."
Jin Xi, this is the truth. This purple jade flute was a gift from Dou Erdun. It was originally kept in the warehouse because she was not good at playing these instruments. Yinzhen played the flute but was not good at the flute. But she asked Jiangrui to go there yesterday.
When I was taking the pre-prepared greeting gifts from the warehouse, I found that the obsidian chessboard originally intended to be given to Yinzhen had a small crack.
I bumped into it on the way to move. Since it was defective, I couldn't give it away, so I had to keep it for my own use. But I couldn't leave the palace to buy a new one for the time being, so I had to pick it from the warehouse. I heard what Yinzhen said.
He liked playing the flute very much, so he gave this purple jade flute to Yinzhen. Who knew it would make Yinzhen jealous and resentful of injustice...
"Uh... this... Fourth sister-in-law, hehe... I just yelled a few words. If you have a lot of people, don't get along with me... Haha..."
Yinqi was overjoyed when he learned that the set of Four Treasures of the Study he was holding turned out to be a rare treasure. It was all his fault that he was so focused on the purple jade flute in his ninth brother's hand that he did not take a closer look at his set of Four Treasures of the Study, otherwise he would have
How could you not recognize such a rare thing as a black jade inkstone?! I am so ashamed, so ashamed! The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I become.
Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, not listening to what Yinzhen said at all. Yinzhen played the purple jade flute and occasionally smiled at Yinzhen, as if he was the elder brother and Yinzhen was the younger brother...
Jinxi didn't take it too seriously. Of course, the child must be kept safe. Then again, instead of saying nothing like the eighth prince Yinsu, who just looked at you with a harmless smile, it would be better to
It's better to have a temperament like Yinqi's, who can speak out what he has to say, won't hide it in his heart, won't build up grudges for a long time, and won't be upset when the other party sees him...
Alas, which of the children of the royal family is really without scheming? Even the tenth prince, who speaks without thinking, knows how to find a partner who shares the same enemy, such as the eighth prince, who is now inseparable from him...
But she looked at the interaction between the two people and thought that the eighth elder brother might not really like the tenth elder brother. They must have their own agenda...
What makes her strange is that the ninth elder brother, who often played with the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother when he was a child, is not very close to them now, even if he does not go to the study room with Yinzhen, or he
Being dragged around by the Fifth Prince to greet everyone, he basically lives alone as a quiet lone ranger...
This is fine, Jin Xi sighed secretly, who knows whether the eighth brother who looks like a little fox when he smiles will take advantage of Yinzhen, or is it better to be like this now... isn't it said that loneliness is also a way of self-protection.
……………………
When they arrived at Yanxi Palace, Concubine Yi took her lunch break, so she took them to sit in the hall and started chatting.
"You girl, you didn't even send any news as soon as you left the palace. Fortunately, Aunt Qing kept talking about you, and the sisters in other palaces also often mentioned you..." Yi Fei sighed with a smile.
"It's all Xi'er's, no, I have free time today, so I came over quickly to say hello to Aunt Qing!" Jinxi coquettishly took Yi Fei's hand and shook it gently: "Xi'er knows that Aunt Qing likes lavender essential oil the most.
I’m making aromatherapy, no, I’ve prepared a lot to send to Aunt Qing, but,
Because we had dinner at Yuqing Palace at noon, I didn't expect it to end so early, so I didn't stay there. I wanted to go back and get it before coming back, but the fifth and ninth brothers said that Aunt Qing missed Xi'er, so why not come first?
Let’s talk about it after meeting Aunt Qing. The gift will be made up for in the future, and the gift will be made up in the future... Hehe..."
"Haha... Look at you girl, just a few words made Aunt Qing so moved that she was speechless." Yi Fei smiled and nodded Jin Xi's forehead, "I know you just came here and you are very busy these days.
Well, I have to go to Guining tomorrow, so I won’t disturb you. I thought I would wait for you to come back and then meet you and the other sisters from several palaces to get together. But I didn’t expect it. It’s better for you. Today, I will send you to your door automatically?
!hehe……"
"Is Aunt Qing saying this because she dislikes Xi'er?" The resentment on Jin Xi's face made Concubine Yi and the three brothers present laugh.
"Okay, Aunt Qing won't talk to you anymore. She can't fool you. I don't know if you are the same in front of the fourth elder brother. Otherwise, the fourth elder brother will have a headache, right?" Yi Fei said, facing Yin.
Zhenxiao glanced at them and joked to the two of them.
When Yinzhen heard this, he glanced at Jinxi with a half-smiling look, and replied seriously: "Yi'e Niang knows the truth, this statement really tells the truth."
When Concubine Yi heard this, she immediately laughed out loud. She didn't expect that Fourth Brother looked so calm and taciturn on the surface, but he was also very funny in private. Looking at the embarrassed Jinxi, she couldn't help but smile even more, "I
Speaking of Xi'er, Brother Si is recognized as a great husband and a good man. When you marry him, he also made an oath for you not to take concubines. I'm afraid no one in our palace can match this. You should be content.
…”
Hearing this, Jin Xi thought about it. Although she had always subconsciously thought that Yinzhen was Ying Hao, he was now the prince of the Qing Dynasty. It was easy and the most justifiable thing to take a concubine, but he refused to take a concubine.
, not marrying Fujin allowed him to completely gain a reputation in the superstructure of such a feudal society, and he also had a reputation of working alone and under great pressure.
And probably only her parents, brothers and other relatives and friends who cared about and loved her raised their hands in approval of this decision. The rest of the people were either waiting to see the show and guessing when Yinzhen would break this infatuated vow, or just like her.
The envy, jealousy and hatred in the hearts of women waiting to be married...
Thinking of this, Jin Xi glanced at Yinzhen with a complicated look, feeling both moved and uneasy in her heart.
What kind of affection did he have for her? She had never been in deep love before, so she was so at a loss what to do about it.
At first, she thought he just wanted to find a woman who knew everything about him as his wife, and she was the most suitable for him. And she thought so too. So when facing him, she would never be flustered, nor would her heartbeat be as intense as it is now.
accelerate……
But now that I think about it, it seems that I guessed wrong. Perhaps, he had a different kind of affection for her and an adult man for a woman, which made him make the vow to "be together for the rest of his life". I'm afraid she felt the same about him.
...It's just that I have never faced this face to face before... Today, after meeting Yi Fei, she just woke up... (To be continued)
