Chapter 75: Now that I'm here, what gifts should I bring?
The air in the room fell into dead silence. Old Nanny Lai's face turned ashen and she was shaking with anger, but she couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
Xiao Tu, however, found it too boring to be angry alone. She looked at the old Princess Yu and the other two with puzzled eyes and said, "I don't quite understand. Mother is a princess, and my two sisters are princesses. Why are you all so envious of Nanny Lai? Could it be that you have nothing better to do on weekdays and have developed a taste for serving tea, washing feet, and cleaning spittoons?"
After successfully collecting three dark faces filled with anger, Xiao Tu withdrew her gaze with a smile and took a sip of the fragrant tea with her little lips.
The room was very quiet at the moment. Apart from the angry faces, there was also a silent awkwardness in the air.
After what Xiao Tu said, Yu Huaixiu and the other two didn't know how to face her "legend".
The old princess really didn't know how to swallow her pride and greet a servant who was actually a waiter with a smile.
Nanny Lai's expression was extremely gloomy. This was only the first time she and Princess Xiao of Jade had met. Before being humiliated like this, she had only said one sentence to her?
Now she has been forced into such an embarrassing situation before she has even used any tricks.
No, she couldn't just leave in disgrace. She came here today with a mission, and she had to make the Xiao family look bad no matter what.
Nanny Lai suppressed her anger and took the initiative to say to the old princess, "I came here today to visit the old princess with the princess's heartfelt wishes."
Speaking of Princess Rongchang, the old princess smiled again, "Rongchang is really thoughtful. She sent someone to visit me as soon as she got back."
"Indeed, the princess misses you every day, old princess. If you were not in poor health, you would have come here in person today."
"Is Rongchang feeling better?"
"A lot more. This time, the gift was carefully prepared by the county magistrate himself for the old princess and the two sisters. It took a lot of effort." He winked at the maid beside him, who nodded and turned to leave.
Yu Huaixiu was full of curiosity at this moment and asked, "Oh, what is it? Is there a share for me and my sister?"
Nanny Lai met the three people's renewed warm gazes and smiled, "The dance clothes are light and powerless in my hands. I cut through the mermaid silk and shattered the spring green. It is the treasure of the South China Sea, the mermaid silk yarn!"
After saying this, Old Nanny Lai was expecting the old princess and her daughter to be surprised, but she only saw three faces that suddenly looked unhappy.
She was puzzled when the old princess suddenly asked her, "Has the shark silk yarn been woven into brocade?"
Nanny Lai was puzzled. "That's right, they're all waiting to be made into new clothes for the princesses and princesses!"
The old princess felt something was wrong when she heard this. She turned around and saw that someone had heard that there was a shark silk gauze that was even more beautiful than the floating brocade last time. Her excitement immediately brightened, and she smiled with her big eyes, "Oh, Madam Lai, you are here now. What gift did you bring?"
Nanny Lai frowned and looked at her, extremely puzzled as to why this person was so happy.
Moreover, how come Xiao changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book? Did she forget how she humiliated her just now?
The old princess knew why the woman was so happy. Just as she was about to speak, Lai Ma's people had already presented the things.
As light as a crow's feather, as thin as a cicada's wing, with fluorescent light flashing in every angle, like the star sand in the sky, noble and beautiful!
It instantly attracted the attention of all the women in the room.
Nanny Lai looked at the women in the room who couldn't take their eyes off her, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She looked at Xiao who was staring at her, and smiled cruelly in her heart.
It’s good that she likes him. The more she likes him now, the greater the humiliation she will suffer later. Then she will avenge herself for all the humiliation she suffered just now!
Nanny Lai calculated this and spoke in a much louder voice, "There are three pieces of shark silk gauze in total. The princess went through great pains to obtain these beloved items from the South China Sea, but she didn't keep any of them."
Then he stepped forward to introduce them, "Please look, old princess. This black one is elegant and graceful. It's for you. This pink one is cute and lovely. It's for Princess Huaixiu. The last one is beautiful and gorgeous in red. It's for Princess Huaijin."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Tu with disdain out of the corner of his eye, his meaning was very clear, there was no point in looking, there was no place for you at all!
But the latter jumped up from the chair, and then trotted in front of the three groups of mermaids, eyes shining, saying, "It's so beautiful! This black one will make me noble and mysterious, and this pink one will also make me pretty and lively. As for this red one, it's so dazzling, I will be absolutely gorgeous in it!"
This made everyone blush. According to her, none of these three items were unsuitable for her.
Xiao Tu touched the veil and turned around and said, "Okay, I've decided."
As soon as these familiar words came out, the old princess and Yu Huaixiu and Yu Huaijin instantly focused their attention on her.
As expected, the woman announced with a smile, "I want all three pieces of shark silk."
Princess Yu's face turned extremely ugly for three moments.
When Nanny Lai heard this, she almost laughed out loud. What a big tone!
She originally thought that if she asked for one, she could use it as an opportunity to humiliate the other party, but she didn't expect that this woman would be so greedy and ignorant!
This is better, I can curse more harshly.
Nanny Lai, with a calm and dignified demeanor, squinted her eyes at Xiao Tu and said, "Princess Yu, these shark silks were painstakingly obtained by Princess Rongchang from the South China Sea..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Tu patted her shoulder. She said with emotion, "I know, it's all thanks to the princess. Please ask her to send it over and tell her that she has worked hard."
After saying that, she asked people to start packing up one by one.
Seeing this, Nanny Lai sneered even more, "Princess Yu, the gift is a gift..."
Xiao Tu waved at her without even turning around, "I know, I know. It's for our palace. You've already delivered it. Thank you for your hard work!"
Nanny Lai's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.
She had been interrupted twice in a row when she was about to make an angry retort, leaving her with nowhere to vent her frustration and causing her chest to ache.
The old princess came over with a dark face, "Xiao Tu, stop it. These things are gifts from Rongchang to me and your two sisters. Don't even think about taking them all away like last time."
Xiao Tu looked at the old princess and suddenly coughed delicately, "Mother, what are you talking about? If I miss such a beautiful girl like Jiao Xiao, I will definitely be very sad. I might be too sad tonight and become ill from depression. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the prince for a long time."
When the old princess heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth trembled violently, but she couldn't utter a word.
Xiao Tu's gaze now turned to Yu Huaixiu and Yu Huaijin, "You two mummies, get out of the way."
The two of them turned pale. What mummy? No, why should they be asked to move aside?
"This thing was given to me and my sister by Princess Rongchang. Why should we give it to you?"
Xiao Tu looked at the two of them and immediately straightened her waist. "Why? Because I'm smarter, prettier, gentler, more educated, and more polite than you, and everyone loves me!"
