The second day——
Last night, Qiao Yin asked the system mission determination again, because she clearly felt Xie Yuan's more and more explicit love for her.
It's obviously a sure thing, but the system just doesn't recognize it.
"well!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Qiao Yin let out a long sigh.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Bizhu heard the noise and came to check.
"Okay, I have to pay my respects to the imperial concubine later."
Bizhu was busy, pouring hot water and helping Qiao Yin wash up.
Qiao Yin returned to reality and immediately cheered up when she heard the words 'Royal Concubine'.
During this autumn hunt, the Queen was unable to accompany her due to illness, so Concubine Lu served as the Holy Driver, but Concubine Lu disliked her very much.
Concubine Lu was extremely favored. Every year on her birthday, the emperor allowed her to hold a grand palace banquet and invite hundreds of officials and family members to celebrate her birthday, but Qiao Yin was not there every time.
With Concubine Lu's 'example', other aristocratic families in Beijing would naturally follow suit and would not invite the Marquis of Jing'an to any banquet or gathering.
The Marquis of Jing'an became an outlier in the capital and was not welcomed, so much so that Qiao Mo, who was already in his late twenties, had no chance to find a daughter-in-law.
After all, it was her fault, and Qiao Yin felt very guilty.
In addition to conquering Xie Yu'an, she had to spend the rest of the time to inquire about her eldest brother's marriage and find him a caring sister-in-law as soon as possible.
After putting on her clothes and sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Bizhu looked at the jewelry in the dowry box and asked, "Which one should I wear today, young lady?"
Qiao Yin looked at the things in front of him. Wealth was rich, but it lacked some foundation.
She thought of Xie Yuan's jade bracelet yesterday, which was worth the price of this box.
Qiao Yin took out the bracelet and put it on, picked out a few matching colors, and decorated it simply.
It's substantial, but not ostentatious, so that you won't be treated like the first bird in front of Concubine Lu later.
Qiao Yin had just finished dressing when Xue Yue, the maid next to Princess Ning Yao, opened the curtain and came in and said, "Princess, please come over and have a meal together."
Qiao Yin was a little flattered. When he came out of the compartment, seats and breakfast were already placed in the middle of the tent.
Jiang Ningyao sat at the top, dressed in eye-catching red palace clothes, a golden crown on her head, and red lips, even more flamboyant and dazzling than yesterday.
Qiao Yin couldn't move his eyes away from the woman, and couldn't help but sigh: Is Xie Ren blind, or has his brain been kicked by a donkey, so he doesn't want to let such a beautiful woman go?
Seeing Qiao Yin looking at her in a daze, Jiang Ningyao raised her eyelids and said casually: "Sit down wherever you want."
What kind of cold lady is this?
Qiao Yin was poked to the extreme, and she stepped forward and sat down next to Jiang Ningyao.
A burst of fragrance hit him, and Qiao Yin couldn't help but said intoxicatedly: "It smells so good."
And he kissed Jiang Ningyao: "Princess smells so good."
Jiang Ningyao couldn't help but joked: "You were timid yesterday, but today you are bold?"
"It's all my fault for a misunderstanding. I offended the princess yesterday." Qiao Yin said with some embarrassment.
Just as he was talking, Xie Qingxuan's voice came from outside, "Coming, coming, I'm coming."
Xie Qingxuan was wearing a pea green short coat with fluffy feathers on the sleeves and collar, and two cute velvet balls on her head. She jumped in from the outside like a rabbit.
Xie Qingxuan ran in and sat down directly on the other side of Jiang Ningyao. The first thing she said when she opened her mouth was: "It smells so good."
Then he put his nose to Jiang Ningyao and smelled: "It smells so good, what kind of smell? I want it too."
Jiang Ningyao curled her lips and reached out to push her head away, "I always pick up what you don't want. Don't look for me, look for Jiang Huailu."
Jiang Ningyao's expression was still very cold, but her tone was obviously affectionate.
Xie Qingxuan laughed, turned to Qiao Yin and explained: "Sister Ning Yao was afraid that you would be constrained, so she specially invited me to have dinner with you."
Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, his eyes sparkling with emotion.
Xie Ren, you really deserve death! !
Xie Qingxuan's arrival did make Qiao Yin feel much more at ease, and she quickly became familiar with Jiang Ningyao.
However, during breakfast time, the three of them were already very close and it was so late to see each other.
"I also brought some delicious food, do you want to try it?"
Qiao Yin handed over the snacks he brought.
"Hey? What is this!"
Xie Qingxuan suddenly pointed to the jade bracelet on her wrist and exclaimed.
Jiang Ningyao also saw it and asked with a half-smile, "Xie Yuan even gave this to you?"
Qiao Yin was confused, holding the bracelet in his hand and asked: "Isn't it so precious that I can't wear it? I'll take it off now."
Xie Qingxuan pressed her hand and smiled very happily: "You even wear my brother's amulet, what else can't you wear? We just didn't expect that my brother would move so quickly."
Jiang Ningyao also nodded: "I thought Xie Yu'an would never be tempted by anyone in this life, but I didn't expect that he is also a master who is crazy about love."
Crazy?
also?
Qiao Yin became more and more uneasy as they talked more and asked them more questions, but Xie Qingxuan and Jiang Ningyao refused to tell them, leaving her to ask Xie Yuan by herself.
Qiao Yin thought: Isn't it a family heirloom?
But Xie Yu'an gave it so casually, it didn't even look like it.
After finishing their breakfast, the three of them went to Lu Guifei's tent together.
Concubine Lu's tent was not far from the princess's tent, but it only took a moment to arrive.
"Miss Qiao Er of the Marquis of Jing'an has arrived——"
The three of them entered the tent. Strangely, Concubine Lu's people only announced Qiao Yin's name.
This coquettish move made Qiao Yin frown slightly.
With a loud announcement, there was a sudden silence in the tent, and everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance.
After yesterday's battle, Qiao Yin has become the most popular name in Beijing.
Qiao Yin, Jiang Ningyao, and Xie Qingxuan walked in together, and all kinds of eyes, whether envious, jealous, or malicious, all fell on her.
Look at those rich and noble ladies, all of them are wearing gold and jade, brocade clothes and gorgeous flowers, and the scenery in the small tent is as beautiful as a hundred gardens.
Qiao Yin thought to herself that she was lucky to have listened to Xue Wanran, otherwise she would have been ridiculed by these people.
Concubine Lu was sitting at the top, elegant and elegant in palace attire. She waved to Qiao Yin with a smile and said, "Are you Qiao Yin? Jinzhi often mentions you to me. Come closer and let me have a look."
Concubine Lu directly ignored Princess Ning Yao and Xie Qingxuan, and raised Qiao Yin in public.
Qiao Yin calmly looked around, but Yan Ruyu was nowhere to be seen among the ladies present.
Sure enough, with this "both want and want" style again, Concubine Lu is really as greedy as ever.
"I have met the imperial concubine."
Qiao Yin bowed politely and took only two small steps forward, still far away from Concubine Lu.
Concubine Lu was stunned for a moment. She thought Qiao Yin would get close to her actively and warmly, because Lu Jinzhi respected her as her aunt very much. Before, Qiao Yin had shown his intention to please her many times on her birthday.
The scene was a little deserted. Concubine Lu looked at Qiao Yin for a few times and said with a smile: "What a beauty. No wonder Jinzhi will never forget you. When I first met you, I didn't have any preparation. I gave this to you."
After speaking, Concubine Lu took off an jade bracelet from her hand.
The third princess on the side stepped forward to take it, "Mother, you are so partial. My daughter-in-law has asked for this bracelet several times, but you are reluctant to give it to me. This is the first time Miss Qiao sees you, so you give her such a heavy gift." "
Concubine Lu smiled: "Who said you are not as beautiful as her?"
"But can you blame your daughter-in-law? I have to blame my parents for not giving me a fairy face like Miss Qiao Er."
Concubine Lu's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law sang in harmony, making everyone laugh. The third prince flattered and sent the bracelet to Qiao Yin.
"Miss Qiao Er, your reward is not many, please put it on quickly."
The meaning of trying to please is so obvious.
Everyone focused their attention on Qiao Yin and became even more envious.
Qiao Yin smiled and slowly raised his right hand, revealing a bright wrist and an jade bracelet on it.
"Thank you, Concubine, for the reward, but no need, I already have it."
