Chapter five hundred and sixty-one making things difficult (2)
Empress Dowager Li, who couldn't make things difficult but was filled with anger, just wanted to send the two of them away immediately.
Xie Mingxi stood up and smiled.
Sheng Hong's slightly weak voice sounded: "Mingxi will serve tea to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother should give some greeting gifts. Otherwise, if the father, the Queen, the Queen, the eldest sister and the brothers ask about it, it will appear that the Grandmother is stingy."
Queen Mother Li: "..."
The last resort could not be used.
I’ve never seen anyone take the initiative to ask for a face-to-face gift!
Queen Mother Li's blood boiled and she glared at Sheng Hong: "How could the Ai family forget such an important matter!"
Two gifts were prepared for the meeting. One was normal, similar to other royal grandsons' wives. The other was quite simple, just a pair of gold bracelets. It was similar to a reward for a palace maid.
Originally, Empress Dowager Li planned to reward the latter portion as a way to humiliate Xie Mingxi. Now looking at this situation, even if Xie Mingxi remains silent, Sheng Hong will not give up.
That’s all! It’s better to send them two away as soon as possible!
Queen Mother Li winked at the female officer beside her.
The female officer understood the idea and immediately stepped back. After a while, she came over with a pair of gold bracelets.
Queen Mother Li: "..."
Queen Mother Li was so angry that her temples were pounding. This idiot! He usually looks very smart, why is he so stupid today?
In fact, I really don’t blame the female official! Empress Dowager Li has always had a sullen face, and her expression is quite ugly. With this wink, the female official naturally thought that Empress Dowager Li wanted to continue to make things difficult and regain her position and face...
When Sheng Hong saw the pair of gold bracelets, the smile on his handsome face suddenly disappeared.
On the other hand, Xie Mingxi, quite unfazed by flattery, stepped forward with a smile and took the brocade box: "Thank you, Grandma Huang, for the generous reward!"
When she heard the word "Huge Reward", Queen Mother Li's face was slightly distorted.
Then, Xie Mingxi turned around and gave the brocade box to Xiang Hui, and whispered softly: "Xiang Hui, this is a meeting gift from the Imperial Grandmother. You are holding the brocade box."
Queen Mother Li: "..."
Wouldn't it be a disgrace for a dignified queen mother to be known to treat her granddaughter-in-law harshly? Empress Yu would never let go of such a good opportunity to lose face to her, and she would have to instigate her in front of Emperor Jianwen.
"You kid, why are you so impatient?" Empress Dowager Li forced out a gentle and loving smile: "Good things come in pairs, and the Ai family has prepared two meeting gifts."
Then he told the confused female officer: "Go and bring the other meeting gift."
Xie Mingxi showed a flattered smile at the right moment: "How dare you be a granddaughter-in-law when the royal grandmother is so loving."
Empress Dowager Li smiled even more lovingly: "You are so smart and smart, the Ai family likes you very much. Let alone an extra greeting gift, no matter how much the reward is, it will be difficult to express the Ai family's feelings."
In the harem, who doesn’t have a few masks that can be changed at any time?
Queen Mother Li became "kind", as if she had a different face.
Xie Mingxi also had a look of admiration and admiration on her face, but she smiled in her heart.
In this confrontation, Queen Mother Li was completely at a disadvantage.
…
Sheng Hong left Cining Palace with a calm and handsome face.
Even if the two of them had a plan to deal with it, even if it ended with Xie Mingxi's victory. But seeing Xie Mingxi being made difficult and mean by Empress Dowager Li, he still felt choked and depressed.
Xie Mingxi had a smile on her lips, her expression was relaxed, and she could not see the slightest trace of frustration at being treated poorly.
"Stop being so sullen." Xie Mingxi reminded with a soft smile: "If my father sees it, he will definitely be unhappy."
yes!
In the palace, no one will reveal their true emotions easily.
There are no brothers in the Tian family, only you and me fight. The father and son of the Tian family are also the kings and ministers before the family relationship. Emperor Jianwen is the emperor of Qi, and he is also the heaven above the princes. The honor and disgrace of the holy family are really too important to the princes.
.
Sheng Hong has lived in the palace for several years, and acting in dramas has become a habit. How can he not have a deep understanding of this?
"It's okay for me to take some leisurely treatment," Sheng Hong said in a low voice, "But I don't want to see you suffer any injustice."
Xie Mingxi felt hot in her heart, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Sheng Hong. Then, she smiled slightly: "I was not the one who was wronged just now."
This is true.
Thinking of Empress Dowager Li having to force a smile, Sheng Hong's mood finally improved. He casually asked with a smile: "By the way, what's in the second brocade box?"
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "It's a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets."
Mutton-fat jade is the best among jade. This pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets of excellent quality are worth at least ten thousand taels.
This is the style a queen mother should have!
Sheng Hong felt better again and chuckled in a low voice: "Save it all and leave it to our daughter as a dowry in the future."
Xie Mingxi spat at him, and the sweetness in her heart appeared in the corners of her eyes and brows.
Sheng Hong felt so beautiful that he took Xie Mingxi's hand with his right hand and entered the Jiaofang Hall together.
…
Zhilan has already returned to Jiaofang Hall to resume her duties.
Queen Yu had already anticipated that Empress Dowager Li would make things difficult for Xie Mingxi. She sent Zhilan there, firstly to protect Xie Mingxi, and secondly, to deliberately poke Empress Dowager Li's eye sockets and heart. By the way, she would use this incident to provoke some words in front of Emperor Jianwen.
No matter how deep the love between mother and child is, it cannot withstand repeated consumption.
After Empress Dowager Li's unusual habits were exposed, Emperor Jianwen's feelings for Empress Dowager Li became more complicated, and they were far less close than before.
Empress Yu casually said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Xie caught the eye of the queen and was kept talking for so long. If I had known this, the emperor should have gotten up later today, so as not to sit here and wait like this.
Long."
Emperor Jianwen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, but said with a smile: "It's rare for my mother to be so interested, so I don't mind waiting."
None of the princes said much.
Only Princess Changping smiled and said: "The seventh emperor brother and the seventh brother and sister will come later, and I have to ask them carefully. What did they say to please the emperor's grandmother?"
Emperor Jianwen also had a special preference for his eldest daughter. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Your imperial grandmother loves you the most, and no one can get past you."
Empress Dowager Li and Empress Yu were at odds with each other, but she loved her legitimate granddaughter very much.
While they were talking and laughing, Yu Qiao came in to report, and Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi came to say hello.
Emperor Jianwen nodded slightly.
Queen Yu smiled and said: "Let them come in!"
After a while, a pair of beautiful ladies walked in together.
Everyone's eyes glanced at the hands held by the two people.
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince.
Li Xiangru's mood was even more complicated. Sheng Hong was assassinated yesterday. Everyone was shocked and thought that the marriage would be rescheduled. She even had a vague thought in her heart that maybe something would happen to the marriage.
Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi actually made an extremely shocking move and took the initiative to visit the church. All the emperor and empress' oral orders came to nothing...
Xie Mingxi didn't seem to notice the complicated looks of everyone, and calmly stepped forward, followed Sheng Hong on her knees and saluted: "My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xie, has met her father and the emperor, and her mother." (To be continued)
