Chapter 199: Slip of the Tongue
dle-aged man tore up the second list, a white-haired old man hurried out of the mansion.From this white-haired old man's attire, he should be the steward of this prime minister's mansion. 。The steward...The moment Qing Xuan saw the blood jade bangle on her hand, she knew that Jiang Fei was so angry she could spit blood. 。
Qingxuan pondered, it seemed this blood jade bracelet was of extraordinary importance to Jiang Fei.
If it's something the Ginger Consort particularly cares about, then Nangong Mei should know about this blood jade bracelet. 。However, when Qingxuan turned her gaze to Nangong Mei, she found that Nangong Mei's expression was calm and collected, not showing much surprise. She was just... desperately trying to suppress the feeling of schadenfreude. 。Qing Xuan pondered for a moment, it seems that the specific details of this blood jade bracelet still need to be asked back from Nangong Ye. 。
Jiang Fei forcefully suppressed the anger that was about to erupt from her, trying hard to maintain her composure.
Jiang Fei: "Since the daughter-in-law likes it so much, this blood jade bracelet will be given to the daughter-in-law"
“Having said that, the ginger concubine once again emphasized to Xuan'er: “Xuan’er, although this blood jade bangle is not a rare thing in this world, it is very difficult to find one with such a good quality. You should wear it and cherish it.” 。"In that case, is Empress Jiang planning to find an opportunity to take the blood jade bracelet back from me" Qingxuan knew she was being obedient: "The daughter-in-law will cherish it dearly." 。As the ginger concubine saw that Nangong Mei still had no intention of leaving, she said, “It’s getting late. This palace will retire for now.” 。"Qingxuan soaked in the medicine pool, motionless: “As my daughter-in-law is still soaking in the medicinal hot spring, I am unable to greet Your Majesty." 。“It's fine,” 。"The ginger concubine spoke with a composed expression and then walked away." 。After Ginger Concubine left, Nan Gong Mei covered her belly and couldn't help but giggle softly. 。
Nangong Mei: "Sister-in-law, I've lived such a long life, but this is the first time I've seen Ginger Concubine's expression as if she had eaten a fly. "
This painting is truly magnificent! It's a shame my mother didn't get to see it. 。
Qingxuan, upon hearing this, still tentatively asked Nangong Mei: "Do you know the origin of this blood jade bracelet"
Nangong Mei blinked her big, shiny eyes and tilted her head, thinking for a moment...
After a long while, Qingxuan only saw Nangong Mei shake her head. 。Nan Gong Mei: "Your Majesty, I've never heard my mother mention this blood jade bracelet." 。Ever since I was a child, I have seen the Imperial Concubine Ginger wearing this blood jade bracelet. 。Just now seeing her unwilling expression, she must really like this blood jade bracelet. 。Just an extra fondness Qingxuan lowered her head to look at the bracelet on her wrist, a drop of crimson like fresh blood. 。Nangong Mei followed Qingxuan's gaze towards the blood jade bracelet. 。When Qingxuan first arrived, her skin wasn't fair, but after spending time recuperating in Chen Wangfu, her originally sun-baked yellowish-black skin had become fairer. Now, after soaking in this medicinal hot spring, Qingxuan's skin has become even whiter and smoother. 。
This blood jade bracelet, worn on her hand, sets off Qingxuan's skin, making it even whiter.
Nangong Mei couldn't help but happily say: "This blood jade bracelet looks much better on the Empress than it does on Concubine Jiang." 。Before, when the ginger concubine wore this blood jade bracelet, it always looked like a layer of ash had been cast over it, giving it a dull and lifeless feel. 。But when worn on the empress's hand, this blood jade bracelet was like dust being wiped away, becoming bright and beautiful. 。Qingxuan stared at the blood jade bracelet and took a closer look, she also had this feeling. 。Just like Nangong Mei said, when she saw the blood jade bracelet on Jiang Fei's wrist just now, the color wasn't as bright as it is now that she's wearing it. 。But Qingxuan didn't think much about it, her attention was once again drawn away by Nangong Mei's words. 。Nangong Mei: "Your Majesty, in fact, Ginger Concubine hates that Ye Gege is alive. She isn't even his biological mother." 。A hint of surprise flashed in Qingxuan's eyes. 。This royal secret, she never expected to hear it from Nan Gong Mei's mouth. 。It is important to know that Nangong Mei and Nangong Ye were not born of the same mother. 。How could she know And tell her so brazenlyQingxuan looked up at Nangong Mei 。Nangong Mei also blinked her big eyes, observing Qingxuan's reaction. Seeing Qingxuan looking at herself in surprise, Nangong Mei thought that Qingxuan didn't know 。Nan Gong Mei was surprised: "Could it be that you still don't know" 。Nan Gong Mei covered her mouth hastily after she spoke, but her words had already been spoken. 。
It's too late to cover your mouth now.cancer. 。Seeing Qingxuan remain silent, Jiang Hong assumed that Qingxuan couldn't save her younger brother. 。Jiang Hong's eyes once again dimmed: "I knew all along that A Yue's illness couldn't be cur...
