Feng Qingyang picked up the tea cup with a smile. When he saw Chen Xi standing there motionless, his eyes heavy with pain, he also frowned slightly, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xi turned his head and stared viciously at the handsome face so close, the nails in his fists digging into his flesh.
Damn it! She really wanted to throw away the tea cup and leave without looking back.
But... she knew that if she really did that, she would be caught before she even ran out of Cixi Palace. Then, once the charges of offending the Queen Mother and contempt of the royal family were charged, she would not even know how to die.
Tolerate!
When things came to this point, she had no other choice but to endure it and endure the hardship.
He lowered his eyes to cover up the sadness in his heart.
Before the Queen Mother noticed her abnormality, the corners of her lips slightly curved, revealing a decent smile.
Her eyes passed over Li Shuang who was chanting sutras in the distance. She stretched out her hand and gently took the tea cup. Together with Feng Qingyang, she knelt in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Grandma, please have tea."
"Haha, be good! Be good! Be good!" The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear.
Because of the praise that the Imperial Master had given Chen Xi just now, she let go of her heavy heart.
Like a kind old lady from ordinary people's homes, she drank tea and told Chen Xi earnestly: "Girl Xi'er, from now on, Shiliu will be taken care of by you. You promise the Queen Mother to help the Queen Mother take good care of him, okay?"
?”
"Yes." Chen Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
The Queen Mother laughed happily: "Good boy. Come, the Queen Mother has something for you."
She took off a piece of crystal clear mutton-fat white jade from her body, caressed it twice, and handed it to Chen Xi: "Good boy, this jade pendant was given to the Ai family by the late emperor. The Ai family wears it every day.
, now, the Ai family will give it to you."
"This..." Chen Xi raised his head in shock.
With her knowledge of treasures over the years, she naturally knew how valuable the mutton-fat white jade in the hands of the Queen Mother was, not to mention, it was a relic of the late emperor...
"Girl Xi'er, take this jade pendant. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you and Shiliu, you will take out this jade pendant. Do you understand?"
Even if the current emperor sees the relics of the late emperor, he will still give him a thumbs up.
It's enough to suppress those guys with bad intentions.
Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up when she looked at the jade pendant: "Xi'er, Grandma Huang likes you very much."
Chen Xi glanced at Feng Qingyang with a complicated expression, and then at the Queen Mother.
She wouldn't have sold her life to a fool just for a piece of jade pendant.
"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother." She took the jade pendant with both hands and thought to herself: Just keep this jade pendant as a shield for the time being. When she is full-fledged and ready to leave one day, she can quietly return the jade pendant to its original owner.
She carefully put away the jade pendant, left the Queen Mother, and went to the Queen Mother's Zhaoyang Palace to serve tea to the Emperor and Queen.
Yesterday, the emperor did not see her true face because she was covered with a scarf, but he did not have a good impression because of her sloppy dress.
Today I met Chen Xi and Feng Qingyang to serve tea. He always had a straight face. Only when he was talking to Feng Qingyang did his eyes have a rare look of doting.
"Yang'er, now that you have married a princess, you are already an adult. Please be obedient and stop running around."
"Oh." Feng Qingyang nodded without interest and played with her white fingers.
