Chapter 844 The Same Person
Concubine Lao could tell at a glance that the snow gauze used in the imperial concubine's skirt was a tribute newly sent to the palace this year, called Nebula Gauze.
Because its craftsmanship is extremely complex, it is rare and extremely precious.
The emperor himself would definitely not use nebula gauze to make clothes. These nebula gauze can only be used by concubines in the harem.
Concubine Lao originally thought that as a second-rank concubine, she would at least be able to get one or two horses.
However, she didn't even get a piece of Nebula Veil.
Not only her, but other concubines in the palace also had the same problem.
In the entire harem, only the imperial concubine received the Nebula Veil.
And judging by the size and length of her skirt, it must have taken a lot of material.
It seems that the emperor gave all the nebula gauze to the imperial concubine.
When she thought about the fact that the thing she had always wanted but could not get was being worn openly by the other party, Concubine Lao felt extremely angry.
She took a deep breath, tried to suppress the jealousy in her heart, stayed calm, and followed.
As soon as Xiao Xixi showed up, everyone's attention was drawn to the skirt she was wearing.
Yao Jieyu was surprised and couldn't help asking.
"Your Highness's dress is so beautiful. You used Nebula yarn, right? I heard that this material is very precious. I only heard people say that Nebula yarn can glow. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true."
The other concubines also looked envious.
Even Concubine Li was extremely envious.
Even though she has become a heavyweight player now, she still has a heart that loves beauty.
Which woman can resist such a beautiful skirt?
Anyway, Concubine Li couldn't resist it.
Xiao Xixi didn't expect that her skirt would cause such a big reaction from everyone.
She smiled and said, "I still have a lot of star cloud yarn. If you like it, you can come to me."
Concubine Li's eyes lit up: "You want to give us the Nebula Veil?"
Xiao Xixi: "What are you thinking? This Nebula Yarn is very expensive, how can I just give it to others? I want to say that if you want Nebula Yarn, you can come to play cards with me. As long as you can beat me in a game at the card table, I will give you a piece of Nebula Yarn. The more you win, the more Nebula Yarn you will get."
Concubine Li was quite disappointed when she heard that the Xingyunsha could not be given to anyone casually, but after hearing everything the imperial concubine said, she immediately became excited again.
"You said so. If I win, you can't cheat."
Xiao Xixi: "With so many people watching, how could I possibly cheat?"
Concubine Li rubbed her hands together, her eyes moving back and forth on the imperial concubine's skirt, her heart full of desire for the beautiful little skirt.
When the other concubines heard that they could win against Xingyunsha by playing cards, they immediately became interested and asked what playing cards was.
Yao Jieyu loves to join in the fun, so she took the initiative to act as the commentator and began to explain to everyone in detail how to play poker and mahjong.
As soon as the imperial concubine appeared, she attracted everyone's attention. Even everyone's topic revolved around the imperial concubine, which made Concubine Lao very unhappy.
This was obviously the party she organized, so everyone should focus on her!
Concubine Lao suppressed her anger and coughed twice, trying to draw everyone's attention back.
However, no one paid any attention to her.
The tuberculosis concubine had to cough heavily twice more.
This time someone finally noticed her.
Xiao Xixi covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, frowned and looked at Concubine Lao, and asked.
"Are you sick? Why are you coughing all the time? If you are sick, go and rest immediately to avoid infecting others."
The concubine of tuberculosis choked on her breath.
Such words and such expressions are exactly the same as Concubine Xiao!
Concubine Lao was originally only half-believing and half-doubting the contents of the note, but now it seems that it is most likely true.
Not long ago, Bai Haocheng celebrated his birthday and held a birthday banquet at home. As Bai Haocheng's daughter, Concubine Lao also went out of the palace to attend the banquet.
After the birthday banquet, Concubine Lao returned to the palace.
While changing her clothes, a small ball of paper fell out of her sleeve.
She originally thought that the paper ball was the result of someone's prank, but when she opened it, she was stunned.
There was a line of words written on the note:
Concubine Xiao is not dead. The Imperial Concubine and Concubine Xiao are the same person.
Concubine Lao tried to find the person who slipped the note to her, but after asking everyone who served her, they all said they didn't know.
When she went to the birthday party, she came into contact with many people, and she really couldn't be sure who stuffed the paper ball into her sleeve.
During this period of time, Concubine Lao has been thinking about the contents of the note.
In the past, she only thought that the imperial concubine was deliberately imitating Concubine Xiao, thereby confusing the emperor and gaining more favor.
But what if her thinking was wrong from the beginning?
What if Concubine Xiao had never died from the beginning?
What if Concubine Xiao and Imperial Concubine are the same person?
The more Concubine Lao thought about it, the more frightened she became.
The reason why she invited the imperial concubine to visit the Misty Rain Palace was to test her.
Even before the test began, her suspicion of the imperial concubine had already deepened.
Concubine Lao tried her best to stay calm and smiled softly.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. My throat is just a little uncomfortable. I just need to drink some water to moisten it. It's nothing serious."
After saying this, she picked up the teacup and pretended to take a sip.
Xiao Xixi heaved a sigh of relief and put down the handkerchief, thinking that it would not be contagious.
The concubine's eyes swept over her skirt, and she asked with a smile, suppressing her envy and jealousy.
"The Nebula Veil should be a gift from the Emperor. You are using it as gambling money. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Xiao Xixi: "I still have a lot of Nebula yarn. It would be a waste to leave it alone. Why not use it to benefit everyone? Besides, this can't be considered gambling money. At most, it can only be considered a prize. It shouldn't be a problem."
She turned to ask other concubines.
"You agree, right?"
All the concubines naturally nodded in agreement, indicating that what the imperial concubine said was right!
Everyone stood on the side of the Imperial Concubine, and Concubine Tuberculosis became the isolated one, which made her very angry.
She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking, just wait, I will tear off your disguise, and then see how you can still pretend? !
Concubine Lao: "Since the Imperial Concubine said it's okay, then it must be okay. I was just overthinking it. I hope the Imperial Concubine won't blame me."
Xiao Xixi waved her hands: "Don't blame me, don't blame me. Let's not talk about this anymore. Didn't you say you had some excellent peach blossom wine? Where is it?"
Concubine Lao pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I will have someone bring the peach blossom wine right away."
She gave Liu Xu a wink.
Liu Xu immediately retreated, and after a moment she came in with a few palace maids, who were holding trays with glass wine jugs and glasses on them.
The light pink peach blossom wine is served in a wine jug, reflecting brilliant light through the translucent glass.
Xiao Xixi sniffed hard: "What a nice smell!"
