Chapter 255 Smarter
She was about to pick up one and put it in her mouth, but was grabbed by Ling Fengxun.
An Yunxi felt the man's hot palm, raised the corners of her lips, and looked up at Ling Fengxun.
Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows and reminded: "You won't eat dumplings later?"
An Yunxi blinked, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, I will eat dumplings later. I will accept these snacks from the queen and save them for tomorrow."
An Yunxi smiled at Xu Meir, "Will the queen Meifei have a New Year's Eve dinner together later?"
Xu Meir's face was a little embarrassed. Ling Fengxun clearly did not trust her and did not want to eat the things she sent.
How could she dare to poison the food, it would be too obvious.
But it was nothing, sending snacks was just an excuse.
She took the initiative to speak: "Since it is given to the Imperial Aunt, the Imperial Aunt can eat it anytime. By the way..."
Xu Meir raised her head, as if attracted by something, her eyes fell on a white jade hairpin in An Yunxi's bun.
The shape of the hairpin was very ordinary. Although the material was good, it was a common piece of jewelry outside, but she showed a yearning look on her face.
"Imperial Aunt, is this white jade hairpin given to you by the prince?"
An Yunxi was slightly stunned, raised her hand and touched her bun, then looked at Ling Fengyan again, revealing a bit of shyness.
"Well, it's also a token of the prince's kindness."
Anyway, the jewelry and
other things were all bought for her by Ling Fengxun. He bought so many that the box couldn't hold them all. So it was okay to say that. As for what the white jade hairpin on her head looked like, An Yunxi didn't quite remember it. She just took it casually when she went out.
Xu Meir immediately showed envy.
"This white jade hairpin is a good thing in the Southern Qi Kingdom. This quality is rarely seen in my palace. I wonder if the princess could take it down and let me take a look at the carvings on it?"
An Yunxi glanced at Xu Meir with a smile, her beautiful eyes slightly curved.
Such a conversation was like two sisters talking about some similar hobbies, which made people easily let down their guard.
However, in the middle of the night, Xu Meir did not go to accompany the emperor, but came to see her alone. It was impossible for her to say that there was no problem. First, she sent some snacks, and now she mentioned the hairpin. There must be a purpose.
An Yunxi did not refuse such a small request from the other party.
"Of course."
She took off the white jade hairpin on her head and handed it to Xu Meir.
Because there were other hairpins hanging around, taking this hairpin off did not make her bun loose.
Xu Meir took it with a look of surprise: "Thank you for giving it up, Princess. I just took a look and returned it to you."
An Yunxi didn't care much about the hairpin, and it had been taken by someone else, so she didn't want it very much. "Your Majesty,
please feel free to look at it. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Xu Meir's eyes widened instantly, but she shook her head and said, "How can this be possible? Meir can't take things from the Empress." An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips and opened her lips lightly. "It's just a hairpin, it's okay." Xu Meir still shook her head, insisting on not taking it, and even raised her hand to return the hairpin. "This thing is too expensive, Meir can't take it. I've already looked at the hairpin. Empress, please take it back." She said, and was about to put the hairpin in An Yunxi's hand. An Yunxi didn't reach out to take it. The next moment, Xu Meir's fingers loosened, and the white jade hairpin fell directly to the ground, making a crisp collision sound and breaking into several sections. This sudden scene seemed to make Xu Meir stunned for a moment, and then her eyes instantly turned red, looking at An Yunxi's guilty look. "Auntie, Meir didn't mean it. I thought you would take it." An Yunxi still sat on the chair, watching her acting calmly. She was just a little curious about what Xu Meir was going to do in the middle of the night. She had to know some of the other party's purpose and motives. "I said, it's just a hairpin, it's broken." Xu Meir shook her head: "It's all my fault. If Meir hadn't insisted on asking to see a hairpin, the princess wouldn't have lost the hairpin given to you by the prince. How about this, I'll compensate you with one, this is also one that Meir likes more, I hope the princess doesn't mind." After saying that, Xu Meir directly pulled out a hairpin from her bun and placed it on the table in front of An Yunxi. It seemed that she had just had a spur-of-the-moment idea. After leaving the hairpin, she was afraid that An Yunxi would refuse her compensation, so she walked out with her head down. "Empress Mei?" An Yunxi's voice came out in the warm pavilion. But it didn't stop Xu Meir. An Yunxi couldn't help but sneer when she saw that the person disappeared in an instant. "It ran pretty fast." Ling Fengxun glanced at the hairpin on the table. "I took it and threw it away." An Yunxi held Ling Fengxun's hand, and a sharp look flashed across her eyes. "Do you still remember the amulet that the old abbot gave you last time?" Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yes, I remember." An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips: "When I saw Concubine Mei come in just now, the sachet she always wore was gone." The old Taoist said that there was something wrong with that thing, so Xu Meir naturally couldn't continue to wear it. And through this point, An Yunxi was sure that the talisman paper that she had someone put in her sachet had been discovered. The person who discovered this thing could not be her, which meant that there might be another person from the Xuanmen beside Xu Meir, who was quite capable .
In addition, now that person sent a golden hairpin here, she can be 100% sure that there is something wrong with this hairpin.
"Xu Meier broke my hairpin, left her own hairpin and ran away. Before leaving, she said that she liked this hairpin, and she must not want me to lose it. Even if I don't want it, normally I will keep it well and find a chance to return it to her when we meet next time."
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark blue pupils looked seriously at the smiling woman in front of him.
After giving birth to the child, his own princess seemed to be more calm in doing things.
However: "Since you know that the other party has bad intentions, why do you still eat the things she sent?"
Although An Yunxi had no intention of eating from the beginning and was just acting, she still answered the prince's words with confidence: "The snacks are so fragrant and not poisonous."
Then Ling Fengxun's words killed all her appetite.
"Then how can you guarantee that she won't spit on the snacks she sent to you?"
An Yunxi: "
Okay. "
She looked at the delicious snacks with a tangled face and licked her lips.
"Don't throw it away, it's a waste, go back and feed it to the dog."
Ling Fengxun couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and touched her head.
"I will find a few chefs from Nanqi. I will let them make whatever you want to eat."
These words made An Yunxi feel comfortable instantly.
Ling Fengxun stared at the hairpin but didn't touch it: "What are you going to do with it?"
