The third princess held Concubine Lu's bracelet like a treasure and stood beside Qiao Yin.
When Qiao Yin raised his hand and exposed his wrist, the two bracelets were very close to each other.
Even people who don't understand jade can see that the bracelet on Qiao Yin's hand is obviously thicker and rounder. Although it is all emerald green, the ripples in Qiao Yin's bracelet surround the entire bracelet, which are deep, light, and thick. Light, like a rendered landscape painting, extremely rare.
That of Concubine Lu was obviously not one-tenth of that.
Therefore, it is understandable that Qiao Yin looks down on him.
The scene fell into extreme embarrassment. Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to express their anger.
Jiang Ningyao couldn't help but burst into laughter. She snatched the bracelet from the third prince's hand and threw it out without looking at it. She didn't know where the thing fell and didn't even make a sound.
"The imperial concubine said she liked it, but then she brought out this junk? Who are you looking down on?"
Concubine Lu pursed her lips and said nothing, her face flushed slightly.
But at this time, Xie Qingxuan said: "That's right, what kind of stuff are these? All my maids wear better than this."
As if to prove something, Xie Qingxuan raised her little girl's hand. She was actually wearing a jade bracelet, and its quality was no worse than that of Concubine Lu.
Still in pairs!
Concubine Lu seemed to have been slapped in public, her face was ashen, and her silver teeth were almost broken.
"The hunt is about to begin, let's go to the paddock."
Jiang Ningyao turned around and left with Qiao Yin and Xie Qingxuan without saying a word.
Seeing that Concubine Lu's face was not so good, the others also left one after another for fear of causing harm to themselves.
In the blink of an eye, only Concubine Lu and the third prince's concubine were left in the tent.
"Bitch!"
Concubine Lu waved her hands and swept everything at hand to the ground.
For the shameless little bitch! I really thought it would be great to achieve military success!
"Go and call the Third Prince and the Crown Prince to come over." Concubine Lu ordered angrily.
Not long after, the third prince Jiang Huaiyan and Lu Jinzhi came to Concubine Lu.
Concubine Lu severely belittled Qiao Yin to Lu Jinzhi.
"Then Qiao Yin relies on her father's military exploits, her eyes have grown to the top of her head, and she doesn't even pay attention to me. Jinzhi, you don't have to pay attention to this woman in the future, and don't let her play such tricks again. Talk to her."
Lu Jinzhi's heart was filled with worry. He had originally thought of taking advantage of Marquis Jing'an to make a contribution and persuade his aunt to allow him to marry Qiao Yin. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Qiao Yin first angered Concubine Lu.
What to do next, if his aunt doesn't nod, it will be useless even if he convinces his father.
"Jinzhi, did you hear that?"
Concubine Lu spoke for a long time, but when she saw no response from Lu Jinzhi, she had to tighten her tone.
Lu Jinzhi came back to his senses and looked at Concubine Lu blankly: "What did aunt say?"
Concubine Lu suppressed her impatience and emphasized again: "Put the Qiao family aside for now, and you should take care of the prime minister's house first. For today's hunting, I have arranged a special prey in the northwest corner of the forest. You and Huaiyan will go there first later. In the northwest corner, hunt something and get the top prize today. When the emperor rewards you, my aunt will ask for marriage for you."
Seeing that Lu Jinzhi still looked confused, Concubine Lu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"
Lu Jinzhi didn't respond.
Concubine Lu held her breath. The third prince Jiang Huaiyan also noticed Lu Jinzhi's abnormality and asked with concern: "Jinzhi, what's wrong with you? You have been absent-minded since yesterday. Are you sick?"
"Even if you're sick, you have to take the lead today." Lu Guifei said sternly.
Lu Jinzhi met Lu Guifei's angry gaze, shuddered all over, and hurriedly responded: "I understand, aunt."
…
"Hahahaha, I haven't seen Concubine Lu's frustrated expression for a long time."
Qiao Yin followed Jiang Ningyao and the others to the paddock. Jiang Ningyao couldn't help but burst out laughing, her branches trembling with laughter, and two small dimples hanging on her face.
Qiao Yin turned to look at Xie Qingxuan and said in surprise: "Is it true that all the maids in your family wear gold and jade?"
Xie Qingxuan smiled and said nothing. Her little girl took off the two bracelets on her hands and explained: "Miss Qiao, don't get me wrong. These bracelets belong to my young lady. Just now, when everyone was not paying attention, the young lady took them off and put them on for me." of."
"Ah?" Qiao Yin was stunned, then gave Xie Qingxuan a thumbs up, "Why are you so clever?"
The three of them were talking and laughing when Jiang Ningyao in front suddenly stopped and her face suddenly turned cold.
"Why don't you leave?"
Qiao Yin looked up curiously and saw three men standing not far away.
The three men were all dressed in straight riding attire, bathing in the sunshine. Xie Yuan was dressed in dark blue, mature and steady, and Jiang Huairu was dressed in sky blue, elegant and elegant.
When the two saw them approaching, they turned to look over. Only Xie Ren, who was dressed in black, lowered his head and kicked the stones at his feet carelessly.
Qiao Yin quietly looked at Jiang Ningyao. Jiang Ningyao pursed her lips and looked distant and cold, as if she was unhappy, but her eyes kept falling on Xie Ren.
Xie Yuan and Jiang Huailu had already walked over. Xie Ren was still standing there, glanced at Jiang Ningyao, and then lowered his head.
"Qingxuan, do you still have my bamboo bow? I want to use that one today."
"It doesn't matter which one you use. You can't hit a few things."
"If you can't hit me, can't I just pretend? Get it."
Jiang Huailu and Xie Qingxuan excused themselves and walked away. Qiao Yin wisely walked away with Xie Yu'an, leaving the place for Xie Ren and Jiang Ningyao.
"General Xie, what is the origin of this bracelet of yours?"
As soon as he reached a deserted place, Qiao Yin raised his hand and asked impatiently.
Xie Yuan looked at the emerald green bracelet on her slender wrist. The ripples in the bracelet seemed to come alive, and it was more beautiful than he imagined.
"It has no origin, it's just an old thing in the house."
"Family heirloom? Then I can't wear it anymore. What if it breaks?"
Qiao Yin wanted to take it off and give it back to him, but Xie Yuan held her hand and prevented her from moving.
"If you give it back to me, do I also have to give you back your thank you gift?"
ah?
What is her thank you gift?
It's a kiss, how can I return this?
Qiao Yin was stunned, and his whole body seemed to be boiling.
Since when did Xie Yuan become so good? This is obviously blatant teasing!
Qiao Yin couldn't suppress the rising corners of her mouth, so she had no choice but to let them curl up.
"You gave me many things, but I can't even think of what to give you."
Xie Yuan is not like Lu Jinzhi. He is perfect in everything and can do everything with ease. Qiao Yin can't find anything he lacks.
Xie Yu'an noticed her discomfort and comforted her softly: "You also gave me a lot of things, the snacks you bought when your shoes got wet, the milk puffs that stayed in your arms throughout the whole process, the unique plum blossom incense, the bruises I got when I was sick. Son, the pair of jade pendants also gave me many promises..."
"But these are insignificant." The more Xie Yuan said, the more guilty Qiao Yin became.
"The value of a gift is not the price, but whether the recipient likes it or not. I like everything you give me, and everything is priceless in my eyes." Xie Yu'an said sincerely.
Qiao Yin was impressed by his gentleness again, but couldn't help asking a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
"Xie Yu'an, you are so kind. You are so kind. There must be so many people who like you. I am very curious. You don't like so many noble ladies?"
Xie Ren told her that over the past few years, no matter whether it was in the capital or his hometown in Huaizhou, matchmakers lined up every month to propose marriage to Xie Yu'an. There were many high-ranking ladies with both talent and beauty, but Xie Yu'an seemed to be in a state of trance. Like the eminent monk, he didn't even look at it.
The Xie family even suspected that he had a problem in that area.
It's not a rumor, it was said by Xie Ren himself.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yin couldn't help but move his eyes downwards. Isn't it really impossible?
"Because I'm waiting for you."
Qiao Yin was thinking wildly when Xie Yuan's answer suddenly came to his ears.
Qiao Yin was stunned and looked up at him, "Flattery is nice, but lying is unnecessary."
"I'm not lying." Xie Yu'an said seriously: "Master Liowu calculated it for me, it's true."
"Ah?" Qiao Yin's mind was a little shocked, "What did Master Liowu tell you?"
Xie Yuan: "Marriage."
"Master Liowu is still calculating your marriage? Shouldn't it be that he will calculate your marriage for your Xie family?" Qiao Yin said in shock.
Xie Yuan nodded, "But his calculation was not quite accurate. You showed up two days earlier than predicted."
"ah?"
For a moment, Qiao Yin didn't know whether to be shocked by Master Wu who could not even be hired by the Xie family at will, or by Master Wu's accurate divination that surpassed the way of heaven.
Qiao Yin wanted to ask Xie Yuan a few more questions, but suddenly Jiang Ningyao's angry voice came from not far away.
"Get out! Get away from me!"
Jiang Ningyao pushed Xie Ren and walked away angrily.
