Chapter 617: Drowned by Acid Water
After leaving Jingren Palace, He Zhiyan didn't let out the breath that had been stuck in his throat until he walked a long way.
"The majesty of the Queen is truly awe-inspiring."
Lu Xiang took her hand and said with a smile: "When I first met the Queen, I was more nervous than you, but after getting to know her for a long time, I found that she is actually very kind."
He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang with a sigh, thinking that even if she continues for a few years, she would not be as calm and composed as she was when facing the Queen. However, the Queen must be satisfied with her from the way she looked just now, right?
Lu Xiang seemed to see the worry in He Zhiyan's heart and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yan. It can be seen that the Queen likes you very much."
Hearing this, He Zhiyan felt relieved and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
At this time, He Zhimin, who had been lagging behind the two, said, "Let me see what the Queen gave you as a reward?" After saying that, without waiting for He Zhiyan's consent, he snatched the box from Liuliu's hand.
Liu Liu didn't expect that the Fifth Miss was so presumptuous in the palace. She didn't even give her own lady any face and just snatched things away. Liu Liu was unable to protect herself and was snatched away by He Zhimin.
He Zhimin didn't care at all that he was acting like a robber and opened the brocade box.
At one glance, she was stunned.
The hairpins inlaid with oriental pearls and the finest mutton-fat jade jewelry, although not a complete set of head ornaments, are extremely precious.
Compared to this, the reward she received seemed a bit insignificant.
He Zhimin's heart was almost drowned in sourness. Just because He Zhiyan was engaged to the prince of Anguo, would the Queen Mother, as her aunt, be so partial to one over the other?
They are sisters, and they are meeting the Queen together, so shouldn’t they be treated equally?
"My eldest sister is really favored by the Queen Mother. She is now showing partiality to me."
He Zhimin was extremely jealous and said in a sarcastic tone.
He Zhiyan glared at He Zhimin coldly, took the makeup box from her hand and closed it, and said unkindly: "Fifth sister, this is in the palace, talking about the queen behind her back, is your head too hard on your neck?"
Who gave her the courage? If you don't want to lose your life, don't drag the entire marquis's mansion into this.
It would be fine if he just competed with her in the mansion, but he didn't even know how to restrain himself in the palace.
Jingren Palace is not far from here. Palace servants are coming and going in the palace. Aren't you afraid that the Empress will hear about it?
He Zhiyan actually dared to glare at her? Someone must have backed her up.
He Zhimin was about to get angry, but when he heard what He Zhiyan said next, the words on the tip of his tongue were choked, and he swallowed them back into his stomach with his eyes wide open. He snorted heavily, then shook his sleeves and left with his maid.
Humph, you really think you have become a phoenix by flying onto the treetops? Let's see how long you can be so proud.
"Fortunately, the wedding is not far away. Once they get married and move away from the He family, this mother and daughter won't be able to get around anymore." Lu Xiang comforted them.
He Zhiyan handed the makeup box back to Liu Liu and said with a smile, "Well, but my stepmother and this sister are just paper tigers. They can only suppress me with these few tricks, and they dare not kill me."
Lu Xiang thought about the appearance of Wu'an Marquis' wife, smiled and nodded: "It's true."
Imperial Garden.
Because the Queen Mother was hosting a banquet here, the palace maids had already decorated the venue early, with long tables placed on both sides. The older ladies were not like the little girls who liked to run and jump, so they sat down and chatted with each other, and also took the opportunity to introduce their sons or daughters to marriage.
