After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

His action surprised everyone.

Shangguan Qing'er was so confused that he forgot to cry.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Then Shangguan Chengjing's brows gradually relaxed, and the disgust and irritation he felt towards Shangguan Qing'er seemed to be wiped away. He even had a vague memory of why he had pushed her away just now.

He lowered his head in a trance, looking at the pitiful Shangguan Qing'er, and his heart suddenly ached.

As usual, he picked her up and comforted her lovingly.

To Shangguan Qingyue, who was also a child and looked younger than Shangguan Qing'er, he threatened in a stern voice, "Shangguan Qingyue, hand over the pearl! Otherwise, I will let the whole mansion know that you are a thief!"

Shangguan Bailin was so angry that he saw stars. He pointed his finger at Shangguan Chengjing and ignored all the rules and etiquette. "I want to report you! I want to report you in front of my mother!!"

[What is the meaning of talking about one's character? That's it! ]

The war between the two brothers is about to break out.

Shangguan Qingyue had seen enough of the show, so he ran to get the box, then ran to Shangguan Chengjing and handed him the box on tiptoe.

The chubby little face was smiling, without any sign of sadness.

Like a happy little fool.

Shangguan Chengjing put Shangguan Qing'er down and opened the box. Sure enough, the seven-treasure glass beads were lying inside.

Shangguan Qing'er was shocked and didn't notice that everyone in the room had an extremely strange and indescribable expression except for her two people.

Red Apricot was a bit stupid, but Green Peach understood everything immediately.

She said seriously, "Miss Qing'er is too impatient. She accused the young lady of stealing your beads without asking any questions right after she entered the room. Do you think the young lady can't speak and can't defend herself?"

"The young lady picked up this seven-treasure glass bead and specially took out her favorite box to put it in, waiting to send it to Miss Qing'er later."

After hearing these words, Shangguan Qing'er could no longer blame Shangguan Qingyue for stealing the pearls.

She had clearly hidden the beads very secretly, how did she find them?

Shangguan Qing'er was feeling frustrated. Shangguan Bailin snorted, "Is she the only one who is anxious? There's also someone else clamoring to search the house!"

Shangguan Chengjing's face turned pale and he couldn't stay here any longer.

He pulled Shangguan Qing'er and was about to leave.

"Sister Qingyue, I misunderstood you, don't blame me!"

[It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Who would bother with a big snot monster? ]

Shangguan Qingyue was speechless, she just waved her hands obediently, then smiled and sent them away.

Before the two of them stepped out of the door, Shangguan Bailin deliberately shouted loudly: "What's so great about broken beads? It's so vulgar to put them on a crown. But... I'm telling you, don't tell anyone!"

Lu Tao suddenly realized what was going on and yelled, "Young Master, please tell me, I won't tell anyone!"

"If you grind these beads into powder and mix them with water and drink them three times a day for a month, your skin will become white and tender..."

"Wouldn't it be a loss to return it to Miss Qing'er?"

"No problem, we Yue'er don't need it, we have it for free!"

Who is black?

Who is so skinny and emaciated that he looks like a hairless monkey?

As soon as the baby was taken away, people suspected that Zhao Ying had gone to Mount Emei. Did she leave the baby there and bring the monkey back?

Shangguan Qing'er was really about to cry out of anger.

She ran back to her yard like crazy with the box in her hand, and Shangguan Chengjing couldn't stop her!

Shangguan Qingyue understood what his second brother meant in an instant, his eyes sparkling with excitement, [The wind falls on the autumn pond, and the red leaves are many. My second brother is both wise and brave! ]

Shangguan Bailin's chin was about to lift up to the sky.

……

Shangguan Qing'er ran back to Nuanfeng Pavilion in a rage, throwing a lot of things around.

The maids were used to it, so they kept their distance and only dared to approach Shangguan Qing'er after he calmed down.

Even though the little girl is only two years old, she is very strong and if something hits her, blood will be drawn.

Shangguan Qing'er became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He wanted to smash the beads in his hand, but when he thought of Shangguan Bailin's words, he retracted his raised hand.

snort!

This bead can whiten skin, but Shangguan Bailin doesn't want anyone to know.

Too bad she heard it!!

Shangguan Qing'er hummed complacently.

No wonder he insisted on asking for one for Shangguan Qingyue!

No wonder Shangguan Qingyue is so fair and tender, they must have secretly given her pearl powder!

From now on, she will have to take pearl powder every day!

Shangguan Qing'er called the maid, "Go and grind the pearls in here into powder, store them in a jar, and scoop a spoonful of it before meals every day, and mix it with water for me to drink!"

The maid took the order and left with the box.

He first went to the pharmacy to find a pestle and a stone jar, then found a secluded place to sit down, planning to grind it for a whole day so as to avoid having to go back to serve the difficult Miss Qing'er.

When she opened the box, a foul smell hit her in the face. She frowned, blocked her nose, and twisted the beads with her fingers.

What kind of beads smell so bad?

Or does it smell like shit?

Eh?

The maid frowned and looked at the yellow stains on the beads, as well as the yellow unknown paste on them. She felt like vomiting because of the smell.

He quickly threw the beads into the stone jar and started pounding it.

Never mind, maybe it was soaked in some rare medicinal herb that she doesn’t recognize!

……

Zhao Ying went straight to Zhongcui Palace. Princess Huai'an was frightened last night, and it would be unreasonable for her, as the eldest sister, not to visit her.

Zhongcui Palace was the palace of Concubine Ji Shufei.

Shufei was from the Shou prince's family and was a dancing maid in the Shou prince's family. She was favored by the Shou prince because of her graceful waist. When Emperor Jianxi visited the Shou prince's family, Ji was favored by him. Shou prince's wife was happy to send this seductive vixen away.

Emperor Jianxi named her a Jieyushi. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, but Ji's family background was not strong and her appearance was mediocre, so she was not favored. Over the years, she only gave birth to a daughter, Princess Huai'an. Because she married far away as a royal marriage, Emperor Jianxi raised her status and named her a concubine.

Ranked second among the four concubines.

After Empress Xiaomin passed away, there were many voices in the previous dynasty advising the emperor to make her the empress. Concubine Ji Shufei could be considered a mother who gained status because of her daughter. Since Princess Huai'an brought blessings to the people and was deeply loved by the people, there were many voices advising the emperor to make her the empress.

Once Concubine Shu is crowned as the queen... then the Zhao family's kingdom will be in even greater danger.

Jinghui Temple burned down, and Zhao Yao had nowhere to go, so she could only temporarily live in Zhongcui Palace, waiting for the new temple to be repaired.

There were also several wives of high-ranking officials in the Zhongcui Palace, including Prime Minister Liu's wife, Lin, and Vice Minister of Rites' wife, Cui. They saw Zhao Ying coming.

They all greeted him, "May Princess Chengqian be well!"

"No gift!"

Zhao Ying remembered that Prime Minister Liu and the Minister of Rites were both good friends with Shangguan Shu, and they were here... It seemed that there were indeed many things she didn't know.

"The prince is coming." Concubine Shu greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Ying exchanged a few words with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu mentioned that Zhao Yao was burning incense and praying with the magicians in the palace in Baoyue Hall. She said that the fire was strange and she was afraid that an evil spirit was at work. Huai'an was concerned about the safety of the country and must work with the magicians to get rid of the evil spirit as soon as possible!

Madam Liu nodded repeatedly, "Princess Huai'an is truly extraordinary!"
