Chapter 285 Swollen like a Pig's Head



Song Zhijin looks high and mighty, but her life story is so bizarre.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Madam Song slowly walked to the main seat and raised her hand. The maid beside her immediately came up and helped Madam Song to slowly stand up. She waved her large sleeves in the air twice, straightened her clothes and said, "Today is just an ordinary flower arrangement meeting. Let's start according to our respective orders."

It's called a flower arrangement collection, but it's also a group of five people comparing by number.

Xu Miaomiao was very unlucky as she was in the same group with Princess Jiahe.

Two people out of every five were selected to compete in the final. Although Xu Miaomiao had prepared for a few days before the battle, her level was ultimately no match for these people. However, she did not come here today thinking about winning the first place.

Before going on stage, Princess Jiahe looked at Xu Miaomiao with some pride and grinned, as if saying, I will definitely win this game.

Xu Miaomiao nodded slowly at her silently, as if she didn't care about the outcome.

After everyone was seated, the hairpin ceremony officially began. Princess Jiahe happened to be sitting opposite Xu Miaomiao, separated by a very narrow aisle that could only be passed by one governess.

The nanny selected the more suitable works and brought them to the table above. In the end, Madam Song decided who would try out the competition.

Princess Jiahe finished her work very quickly, but the time had not come yet, so the nanny did not take her things away. When she saw Xu Miaomiao busy organizing her work, she raised the corner of her mouth proudly and looked at the embarrassed Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao didn't pay attention to his expression, but was busy with her own things.

Staring at the flowers brought by the maids, Xu Miaomiao was a little at a loss for a moment. After looking at them again and again, she finally took out a lily, took out some fine white powder from her waist, sprinkled it on the lily, and blew it gently in the direction of Princess Jiahe. Those small white particles that were invisible to the naked eye were gently blown in front of the Lord Jiahe with the breeze in the air.

Princess Jiahe was a little puzzled at first, and immediately sneezed. Unexpectedly, the sneeze broke the flowers in front of her. Princess Jiahe immediately adjusted herself upon seeing this, but she kept sneezing during the whole process.

When everyone saw her like this, they looked at her curiously. It would have been fine if they didn't look, but when they did, they were frightened by Princess Jiahe. At this time, Princess Jiahe's face was greatly swollen and the tip of her nose was also swollen, like a pig's nose.

Seeing Princess Jiahe's expression, the ladies around her couldn't help laughing. Princess Jiahe was still a little confused, so she raised her head and looked at everyone: "What are you laughing at?"

After these words came out, Princess Jiahe also realized why her voice had become so strong. She quickly raised her hand and touched her cheek, only to find that her cheek was already swollen and the tip of her nose was also pushed up. "What's wrong with my face?"

Xu Miaomiao laughed unconsciously when she saw her funny look. She then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said to Princess Jiahe, "I think you have allergic symptoms. Maybe it's because the dry weather has caused your skin to crack, and you are a little sensitive to pollen, so you have these symptoms. Princess Jiahe should find a doctor as soon as possible to treat you."

When Princess Jiahe heard what Xu Miaomiao said, she immediately stood up in dissatisfaction, pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said viciously: "Did you do it?"

"Princess Jiahe, this is really unfair." Xu Miaomiao pouted and looked at the woman with dissatisfaction, and said, "From the beginning to the end, I was so far away from you, how could I have a chance? Besides, I can't let your skin dry out and cause allergies, Princess Jiahe, you are dissatisfied with me, but you can't slander me like this!"

"Xu Miaomiao, don't think I don't know. It was obviously you. You hated me and set the fire the day before yesterday..."

When Princess Jiahe started to say this, she realized that there was something wrong with what she said. She quickly widened her eyes in horror and took back the words she was about to say.

Xu Miaomiao naturally knew what she wanted to say, and unconsciously found it a little ridiculous. She looked at the woman and said, "I advise Princess Jiahe to go see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, if her appearance is ruined, then all hope will be lost."

"Xu Miaomiao, just wait for me! I will never let this go." The leader of the Jiahe group looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the laughter of people around him. He quickly took out his handkerchief, covered his face, and then left quickly.

Song Zhijin, who was standing next to Madam Song, saw this scene and frowned slightly, a little displeased, but still said nothing.

The first round of competition ended. Although Princess Jiahe was no longer there, Xu Miaomiao's work was not outstanding, so she did not proceed to the second round. Logically speaking, those who were eliminated in the first round could go home early.

Xu Miaomiao looked at the sky and then bowed to Song Zhijin.

"Why, Madam Xu, are you leaving?" Song Zhijin looked at her and said, "There are delicious cakes and a tea tasting party in the back. Madam Xu, why don't you stay for a while before leaving?"

Xu Miaomiao shook her head, bowed slightly to Song Zhijin, and said, "Miaomiao came here knowing that she is not as good as these noble ladies in the capital. It is better not to stay here any longer. It will only cause trouble to you and make you feel ashamed."

"Madam Xu, please don't think like that." Song Weiwei spoke anxiously with some worry on her face, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth were still accurately captured by Xu Miaomiao.

Song Zhijin tried every means to get her to participate in the Jockey Club and the flower arrangement competition, simply because she wanted her to realize how different her identity was from Nangong Jin, so that she could give up the idea early. It was a pity that her little tricks were seen through by her, and what was even more regrettable was that there was no possibility for her and Nangong Jin at all.

"I have things to do at home, and the store cannot be without people. Seeing that Madam Song still has to entertain guests later, I will leave first."

Xu Miaomiao was about to leave when Song Zhijin called her back, "I almost forgot to tell you something. Ah Jin is coming back soon to hold a banquet in the army to celebrate the victory. Thanks to the cakes prepared by Madam Xu, the soldiers have no worries in this war. So Ah Jin specifically asked me to invite Madam Xu to celebrate with us. Madam Xu, you can't refuse this time, right?"

Nangong Jin is coming back?

Xu Miaomiao thought secretly in her heart, she had known that Nangong Jin had gone out to fight, but she did not expect him to come back so early. Before he left, they also prepared a lot of cakes for the needs of the war.
