Chapter 199 If I had made a scene long ago
Since the spring outing, Ji Yiheng and Ji Lingyue often come together to find Jiang Tunan to go out and play.
After discussion among the elders of the Ji family, Jiang Tunan's identity was decided to be the orphan of Madam Xiao's younger sister who died young. Because the Ji family felt sorry for him, they raised him in the family since he was a child.
"Although I know I'm very attractive, but Master Ji, isn't it a bit exaggerated for you to follow Ling'er to play with me every day?"
In the Diecui Pavilion, Ji Yiheng was in a very good mood while sipping tea. After sensing Jiang Tunan's gaze, he replied gently,
"You are disrespectful, call me brother."
Jiang Tunan didn't want to pay attention to Ji Yiheng, but Ji Yiheng suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"As a brother, I should give you some gifts..."
Ji Lingyue silently explained to Jiang Tunan,
"This jade is the legendary warm jade. It warms up when you touch it. It is quite rare and valuable..."
Before Ji Lingyue and Ji Yiheng finished their words, Jiang Tunan rushed to Ji Yiheng and said in a hoarse voice,
"From today on, you are my brother Yiheng. Thank you for the meeting gift, brother. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Ji Yiheng got goose bumps all over his body when he heard Jiang Tunan's pretentious voice. This was not the effect he wanted.
"Sister Xiaonan, my eldest brother is a music-deaf person, but he is a crazy music-deaf person. He saw that your music is always very novel, so he came to you for advice."
Ji Lingyue explained kindly, but Ji Yiheng looked disapproving.
"Nonsense, I'm here to show my concern for the new sister."
Ji Lingyue was speechless.
"You don't want the music sheet anymore?"
"I want it."
Ji Lingyue: Pretending to die.
"Okay, okay. As for the songs, I have as many as I want. Just give me a theme and I'll find a bunch for you."
Jiang Tunan held the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't let it go. The jade felt warm to the touch.
"really?"
Ji Yiheng's eyes flashed with joy, but Jiang Tunan's eyes were fixed on the jade pendant in his hand.
"Really? But I can't guarantee that you'll like every one of them."
"It doesn't matter."
"I can give it to you right now."
Ji Yiheng waved his hand.
"That's not urgent. Besides, since we want to enjoy the music, it's not appropriate here. Let's go to another place."
Jiang Tunan thought to himself that this was quite elegant. Ji Lingyue stepped forward and took Jiang Tunan's arm.
"Sister Xiaonan, I actually came to you today to ask you out."
"The first day of school is coming soon, and I want to buy some new study supplies."
Speaking of buying stationery, Jiang Tunan suddenly remembered that he still had to go to Mozhuxuan to apologize. He didn't know how much he had lost during this period.
Jiang Tunan felt a little guilty when he thought of this. After all, Wen Zhu was the leader of the assassin organization, so he wouldn't kill him in a rage.
"Then I'll go with you. I happen to be busy too."
......
In the imperial palace, in the Yongshou Hall, the Queen and Concubine Li sat below the Queen Mother, one on each side, while two young girls in palace costumes came side by side.
"Yan Chu pays respect to the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress."
The younger girl quickened her pace and greeted him first. Baili Yanxi behind her turned pale and quickly followed suit.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and Concubine Li."
When Concubine Li heard Baili Yanchu's words, she felt a little angry. This Fifth Princess relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the late Queen Siyi and was very favored by the Emperor, so she never took other concubines seriously.
However, the fourth princess born to the queen knew etiquette and at least did not embarrass herself too much.
"Humph, flattery!"
Baili Yanchu glanced at Baili Yanxi behind him, his face full of contempt.
"Yan Chu and Yan Xi are here today, come over here and let me take a good look at them."
The Queen Mother did not notice the little movements between the two princesses, but the Queen frowned.
"Yanxi, you are not a child anymore, why are you not as polite as your sister? You hesitate when I ask you to perform the ceremony."
There was a hint of gloating in Baili Yanchu's eyes. He turned his head and looked at Baili Yanxi beside him with a smile.
"Please forgive me, mother."
Baili Yanxi knelt down hastily, but the Queen Mother glanced at the Queen unhappily.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. Xiao Si is still a child."
The queen's eyes were calm and she said in a calm voice,
"That's what the Queen Mother said."
"Sister didn't mean it. Aunt, please don't blame her."
Baili Yanchu acted as if he was understanding. A hint of sarcasm flashed in the queen's eyes, and then she smiled at Baili Yanchu.
"Yan Chu is really considerate. Your sister should learn from you."
Baili Yanxi lowered his head and said nothing, but just silently grasped the corner of his clothes.
"You two sisters, come forward. I have something for you."
The nanny beside the empress dowager immediately brought two boxes, each containing a hollow gold bracelet. The bracelet in front of Baili Yanxi was engraved with bamboo and chrysanthemum, while the bracelet in front of Baili Yanchu was engraved with plum blossoms and orchids.
"These two bracelets were given to me by my mother when I was a child. Although they are not worth a lot of money, they are very meaningful. I am giving them to you two sisters today."
Baili Yanchu put the gold bracelet on his hand directly, raised his hand with the bracelet and looked around, but Baili Yanxi thanked him first before taking the tray with the box.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are the four gentlemen among flowers. Yan Xi will definitely live up to the great expectations of the Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother nodded meaningfully.
"I think Xiaowu will also go to the girls' school this year."
"Yes, the first day of school will be in a few days."
The Queen answered respectfully, and then turned to Baili Yanxi and said,
"Yanxi, you have to take good care of your sister in the girls' school, okay?"
"My son understands."
Baili Yanchu was still admiring his new bracelet, but he caught a glimpse of the gold bracelet in Baili Yanxi's box next to him.
"Grandmother, why did you give my sister the bracelet with bamboo carvings? I obviously like bamboo more!"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion,
"Haven't you always loved orchids?"
"I don't care, I just want the one in my sister's hand."
Baili Yanchu stared at the bracelet in the tray in Baili Yanxi's hand, and his expression seemed very stubborn.
"What's the big deal? Yanxi, switch with your sister."
The queen spoke immediately, and Baili Yanxi could only reluctantly hand over the tray in his hand. Baili Yanchu did not take it, but directly picked up the bracelet and put it on his hand.
"Then give yours to your sister."
The Queen Mother reminded him, but Baili Yanchu looked conflicted.
"But now I think the original bracelet looks good again, but I also like my sister's bracelet..."
"You want both?"
The Queen Mother's tone was somewhat harsh, and Baili Yanchu immediately pretended to be aggrieved.
"No, Grandmother, Yan Chu just wants to take a closer look. How about... Sister, lend me the bracelet for a few days, and I'll give it to you when I've made up my mind?"
Baili Yanxi was extremely reluctant in his heart, but when he looked up at the Queen's gaze, he could only nod helplessly.
"If my sister likes it, take it and look at it for a few more days, but think carefully before making a decision."
Seeing this, the Queen spoke again,
"It's just a bracelet. If your sister likes it, what's wrong with giving it to her?"
The Queen Mother was about to say something to persuade her, but she heard Concubine Li speak.
"Your Majesty is really generous. There have always been parents who are partial to their own children. I have never seen parents who are partial to other children."
Concubine Li looked at Baili Yanxi meaningfully.
"If it were me, I would definitely make a scene."
"Concubine Li, please stop fanning the flames. And the Queen, once this bracelet is given to Xiao Si, it's hers. Even if you are her mother, you can't make decisions for her."
