Chapter 91 Shocked, the prince embroiders? Give her white silk
Zhidai hadn't reacted yet. She thought that Miss Xie said she was satisfied, and King Jingbei said that it was not appropriate to see blood today.
I was hit by Bai Mi's two punches again, so I should be fine.
She also specifically mentioned in front of Xu Susu that she was sent by the Queen Mother.
Unexpectedly, Xu Susu, who Xie Mingan described as the most cowardly and weak-minded person after having met her several times before, would be so cruel and determined that she wanted to get slapped in the face in public!
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Xu Susu's eyes became even colder: "Why don't you do it?"
Sang Ruo and Ren Dong dragged Zhi Dai to the door.
"I was wrong. I behaved rudely. I deserve to die!"
She gritted her teeth and before Sang Ruo could do anything, she slapped herself hard.
Xu Susu looked at him coldly, without a trace of softness in her eyes.
Zhidai dared to instigate Prince Jingbei to refuse the marriage, which was endangering her daughter's life.
Although she had thought about it before, it would be fine if Xie Yao did not marry King Jingbei, but married Pei Shilang, who was famous in Yan State.
Pei Jun is a handsome man who takes the initiative to show his goodwill. His daughter is also his benefactor, so she will not suffer any loss if she marries him.
But that was before.
The daughter rejected Pei Jun and has been tied to King Jingbei.
The wedding is just a few days away, and the Xiao family has even sent such a respectable betrothal gift. If Prince Jingbei is persuaded by this lowly maid and suddenly changes his mind, it will be a devastating disaster.
Prince Jingbei is fine. The Queen Mother will choose a better noble lady for him and mediate between him and the Emperor.
But my daughter's reputation will be ruined!
What's more, yesterday Zhidai came to teach her daughter etiquette. She secretly asked Sang Ruo to pay attention and found that this palace maid was making things difficult for her and had bad intentions.
She can silently endure others harming and humiliating her, but if anyone dares to harm her own daughter, she will never let him go!
Xu Susu said it was a slap in the face, but did not say how many times.
Zhidai slapped herself three or four times.
However, Xu Susu didn't even blink.
Xie Yao saw it and felt relieved.
Mother is changing after all.
She may walk slowly, but I will hold her hand and wait for her.
The mother and daughter are the most natural allies.
Sang Ruo said coldly: "Aunt Zhidai, haven't you eaten yet? Let me do it."
As she spoke, in front of Zhidai's incredulous eyes, she attacked with her fists left and right, making her body sway from side to side.
Soon, Zhidai's cheeks turned as red as blood, and with the dark circles under her eyes, her whole face was colorful.
Seeing that neither Mrs. Bo nor the Second Miss had any intention of stopping, Honeysuckle rolled up her sleeves, eager to try.
After slapping her more than twenty times, Sang Ruo noticed that her eyes were burning with anger, so he moved aside and took her place.
Just after Rendong slapped her twice, Zhidai finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Stop, stop it! I'm the head maid of Ningshou Palace. You, a lowly slave, dare to hit me..."
"You are a palace maid, and I am a servant. We are both slaves. Why can't I beat you?" Honeysuckle did not stop.
Zhi Dai raised her head and shouted again: "Madam Bo and the Second Miss are humiliating me like this. They don't respect the Queen Mother——"
Xiao Yizi interrupted her:
"Miss Xie and I were married by the Emperor's order. She has been canonized as Princess Jingbei today. You want me to break off the engagement and marry someone else. Could it be that the Queen Mother wants the Emperor to revoke the imperial edict and break his promise to his subjects?"
Bai Zhu echoed, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are kind and filial mothers, and they wouldn't question the Emperor's will. It must be Zhidai who is trying to sow discord and obstruct it."
Xiao Yizi agreed and said, "How can you tire out the maids of the princess and mother-in-law? Bai Zhu, go and fight."
Zhidai moved her lips but was speechless.
The Queen Mother secretly ordered her to design a plan to disrupt Prince Huang Jingbei's marriage. Firstly, she had no evidence, and secondly, how could she dare to say that the Queen Mother was really dissatisfied with the Emperor?
Therefore, it must be her fault for speaking out of turn, it must be her fault for misunderstanding the Queen Mother's intention and taking the blame on herself.
Bai Zhu walked forward and slapped Zhidai's face, which had swollen like a pig's head, leaving a bright purple palm print.
The second palm strike made her faint on the spot.
"Take her away and don't dirty the princess's place."
Bai Zhu had no expression on his face and asked the servants from Bo's Mansion who came to watch to drag Zhidai away.
Xie Yao was sharp-eyed and noticed that among these servants, there was Nanny Zhu who served Xie Mingan.
Zhidai and Xie Mingan's relationship is indeed extraordinary.
Xu Susu also returned to the house. Only Xie Yao, Xiao Yizi, and Bai Mi, who had nothing to do, were left in the yard.
Six pairs of live geese tied with red satin were enclosed in golden cages and placed in the courtyard, their feathers glistening in the sunlight.
Bai Mi scratched his head and made small talk: "Princess, look, these geese were hunted by the prince himself these past few days."
Xie Yao found it hard to imagine Xiao Yizi sitting in a wheelchair and shooting arrows with a bow.
"It just so happens that I have a chicken. With these geese as company, I shouldn't feel lonely anymore."
She then asked, "Would Your Majesty like to come in for a cup of tea?"
This was to drive him away, Xiao Yizi could hear it.
His eyes fell on the embroidery frame, looking at the silver, white, blue, purple and scarlet pattern on it: "What is this?"
Xie Yao followed his gaze and saw the thing she had been embroidering for a long time. She forced a smile and said, "Aunt Zhidai said she wanted to test my needlework skills and asked me to make a sachet."
Xiao Yizi said "Oh" and asked again: "I didn't realize it was a sachet...I mean, what kind of flowers and plants are embroidered on it?"
Xie Yao's ears warmed: "I embroidered a crane."
"My grandfather is old, and I want to embroider two cranes on the sachet, wishing him a long and prosperous life."
As for why she didn’t embroider a sachet for her mother, haha, she was not good enough.
Xiao Yizi said nothing, nor did he laugh. He asked Bai Mi to push his wheelchair to the table and took a closer look at the embroidery frame.
Xie Yao shrank her neck in embarrassment.
Prince Jingbei has such a hobby, liking to look at ugly things?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yizi leaned over, picked up the embroidery frame, and began to thread the needle.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, like cold white jade.
Although his hands were also used to hold swords and pull bowstrings, and there were calluses on the palms and fingertips, Xie Yao felt that the prince's hands were more beautiful than hers.
The stitches fall onto the embroidery frame neither hurried nor slow, and even if you just watch the movements, they are very reliable.
Looking at the embroidery frame again, in just a few strokes, the crooked "crane" embroidered by Xie Yao was truly outlined into the shape of soaring into the sky.
"I didn't expect that the prince has this skill." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Yizi in surprise.
Xiao Yizi said, "My mother is an expert at needlework. She loves to embroider all kinds of purses and sachets for me. Your wedding dress was made by her. I've learned a little bit from her."
Xie Yao was slightly stunned. So that's how it is.
She knew that Xiao Yizi's father, the old Marquis of Jingbei, had died in battle many years ago.
In the Jingbei Palace, Old Madam Xiao was his grandmother. As for his mother, Madam Jingning, she didn't know much about her. She only heard that she passed away due to illness a few years ago.
On the side, Bai Shi's eyes trembled when she heard the prince mention Madam Jingning.
Prince Jingbei continued to embroider the sachet, and Xie Yao simply moved a chair and sat next to him.
She did not miss any details of his movements, hoping that after learning, she would be able to embroider a beautiful one for her mother.
I wonder what my mother looks like when she embroiders, but probably similar to Xiao Yizi.
After watching for a while, Xie Yao gave up in her heart.
It’s not that she can’t learn it, but the handsome appearance of King Jingbei has taken away all her attention.
Who, when watching the prince embroidering a crane, can focus on the crane?
Xiao Yizi raised his eyes to look at her, his peach blossom eyes showing a faint smile, very tempting: "In fact, Second Miss Xie is very talented in needlework."
Xie Yao: "Are you mocking me, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yizi embroidered the remaining blue and green threads on the embroidery frame: "Other people only use black, white and red threads when embroidering cranes. Princess, you can see that the crane's feathers reflect other colors in the sunlight. It's very rare."
Xie Yao: ...He is still laughing at himself.
Bai Zhu came over and said, "Your Highness, Zhi Dai has woken up and is threatening to commit suicide."
Prince Jingbei, who was helping the princess embroider a crane, didn't even raise his head. He looked at a piece of white cloth in the embroidery frame and said casually:
"Send Bai Ling over there and let her die quickly. Don't delay me from doing my work."
