Looking at Jiang Yuning who was obviously thinner, Bai Susu was a little surprised. She thought she had no relationship with Jiang Yuning, except that they were selected in the same audition and they shared the same plight of "neither of them was favored by Emperor Xuan Jing".
However, Jiang Yuning seems to have not yet received the emperor's favor... Could it be possible?
In fact, Jiang Yuning would not feel comfortable sitting here. She has always been aloof and famous for her talent. Coming to see Bai Susu today has already exhausted all her courage in her life.
The ice basin in Qixiang Palace was well-used, and unlike her palace, it was unbearably hot and stuffy, but Jiang Yuning's palms were still sweating.
She clenched her fists, forced a smile, and said, "I haven't congratulated my sister on her promotion yet. I should have come a long time ago, but after thinking about it, I didn't have anything to give her. So I personally embroidered two sachets, which took some time. I'll give them to my sister to play with."
As he said this, he took two sachets from the palace maid Chunying's hand and handed them to Bai Susu.
To be honest, two sachets are really shabby gifts, but if you say that they were embroidered by yourself, then it will seem to be sincere.
As for whether it was embroidered by himself and when it was embroidered, who knows?
However, one should not hit a smiling person. Bai Susu took it and looked at it. It was a Su-style satin brocade sachet. The appearance was unique and the embroidery was first-class. The stitches were smooth and the koi embroidered on it was lifelike. Depending on the angle, each scale shone with different light.
"Sister, you have such skillful hands. Such delicate embroidery must have taken a lot of time." Bai Susu accepted it with a smile and told the palace maid to bring snacks and fruits.
Jiang Yuning and Bai Susu exchanged a few more pleasantries, during which time they secretly looked at the furnishings in Qixiang Hall. In fact, it was not particularly luxurious, but it exuded a fresh and elegant atmosphere everywhere. The gauze curtains hanging on the windows softened the sunlight, and a bunch of pure white gardenias were inserted in the Ru kiln vase on the table, emitting a faint fragrance.
Every corner of the house was clean and spotless. The palace maids and eunuchs were neat and respectable, and they were in a festive mood. There was vitality and vigor everywhere, which made people inside feel very comfortable.
Let’s look at the owner of this hall - Bai Susu. In fact, her appearance has not changed much since she was a concubine. She doesn’t like to wear makeup, and she was dressed casually when she met Jiang Yuning today.
But there are people like this. Even without makeup, their skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it. They are as delicate and beautiful as a brilliant crabapple.
Coupled with the emperor's favor, her eyes and eyebrows were full of spring, and her jade-like face looked even more charming and attractive.
Nanchun brought over a plate of peeled pomegranates and a few plates of snacks. Bai Susu handed the plate of pomegranates to Jiang Yuning and said, "This pomegranate is very sweet. Sister, try it."
Jiang Yuning looked at the plate of pomegranates. The seeds were quite large, the color of rock sugar, like crystal agate, and exuded the unique fragrance of pomegranates. He couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. Pomegranates were certainly not a rare thing, but now was not the season for eating pomegranates.
Then this plate of pomegranates seems extra precious.
Is Bai Susu showing off to her that she is favored?
She pinched two seeds and put them in her mouth. Sure enough, the juice was sweet and the seeds were soft. She chewed them twice and found that except for the sweetness at the beginning, they gradually turned bitter.
When he spoke again, there was a hidden meaning in his words - he wanted Bai Susu to help him out of their old friendship.
She was not a person who was not good at speaking, but she was still too shy to speak about it, so she spoke in a very obscure way.
Bai Susu is not stupid. Precisely because she is not stupid, she pretends not to know what Jiang Yuning means and ignores her completely.
Can she control the emperor's favor?
Will she pass on her favor to others?
She is not a fool, nor does she like others to treat her as a fool.
Looking at Jiang Yuning's flushed face, she sighed inwardly.
In fact, she didn't like Jiang Yuning very much. She was scheming, but her superficiality was obvious to everyone, which was really annoying. She also had an inexplicable sense of aloofness.
She didn't want to have a close relationship with Jiang and Ning, so the subsequent topics became boring.
There was no point in talking, even though Bai Susu was smiling, but Jiang Yuning was so dry and boring. After a while, he left, saying that he would come to see his sister another day.
When Jiang Yuning came out, the heat outside immediately made his mind clearer.
In fact, Jiang Yuning knew she was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth. She came to Bai Susu because she was desperate and had already let go of her pride.
Bai Susu is now a noble lady, of a higher rank than her. Logically speaking, she should call Bai Susu sister...
But she still called Bai Susu sister.
She was unwilling to accept this! Bai Susu was just prettier, but in terms of family background and influence, how could she not compare to her?
Thinking of Bai Susu's graceful, calm and superior demeanor just now, Jiang Yuning felt even more unbalanced.
