First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Bihe really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. She couldn't help but raise her hand to gently smooth her hair, and at the same time adjusted the hairpin on her head.

This action is no different from the concubines in the palace. She had seen it before and felt that this action was extremely elegant and could inadvertently show the preciousness of the thing she was wearing on her head.

Hua Rui didn't want to say anything more to her, knowing that this person came from the palace of Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen was used to being domineering in the palace, and even the maids in her palace were more flamboyant than those in other palaces. But now that everyone has left the palace, she didn't know what the point was.

Seeing Hua Rui avoiding her intentionally, Bi He also felt bored, "Now that you're married, I think it's hard for you to see Madam Wei. Didn't you always stay in front of her before?" She looked at Bi He and saw that she was carrying a basket of eggs. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Buying so many eggs? Are you going to give them to Madam Wei? Now she is the general's wife, I'm afraid she won't look down on your basket of eggs. I say you, even after getting married, you don't know how to be more thoughtful. She has a different status now, do you think you are still chopping wood in the imperial kitchen? Who would look down on your little thing?"

Su Jixiang married Wei Ling, so she couldn't call him by his name, so she could only address him as Madam Wei. However, she was extremely disdainful in her heart. If it weren't for Wei Ling's status, who would care about a palace maid who chopped firewood in the imperial kitchen?

Hua Rui already felt that she had nothing to show for herself, and after hearing what Bihe said, she just stood there in embarrassment.

Seeing the embarrassment and uneasiness on Huarui's face, Bihe widened her eyes, "Oh, are you really going to take this basket of eggs to see Su Jixiang?" She was so excited that she directly called Su Jixiang's name.

"The general is sick. I want to go see him." Hua Rui said even more uncomfortably, with a deeper blush on her face.

She didn't have much money on her, and He Chunlin was very good to her, but he didn't give her any money for safekeeping. He just said that if she needed money, she could just ask him for it. But she couldn't afford to ask for it... The money to buy the eggs was from the few taels of silver distributed to her by the military camp when she got married. That was considered her dowry from the military camp, and she didn't have to give it to He Chunlin. She could spend it herself.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Bi He couldn't help but click her tongue. "You're just going to see the general with your eggs? You really haven't seen the world. He's a general, he has everything in his house. How could he be interested in your eggs?"

Hua Rui bit her lower lip because of what she said.

"Who said my general doesn't like these eggs?" A voice came lightly, and Bihe's face changed slightly. She and Huarui looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a woman walking out of the crowd. She was wearing a simple lilac-colored double-breasted jacket with a silk ribbon of the same color tied around her waist, and a lavender pleated skirt underneath.

Following behind her was a tall and thin man in a peeling leather cloak. His black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a black ribbon, which fluttered freely behind him and moved with the wind. His face was a little pale, but his features were very good. His eyebrows were as sharp as knives and slanted into his temples, and his eyes were cold.

"Su...Su Jixiang!" Bihe was a little speechless. She had never expected to meet Su Jixiang here by chance. After she called Su Jixiang's name, she heard the black-robed man behind Su Jixiang snorted.

Only then did she come back to her senses and said, "Greetings, General Wei, Madam Wei." She bowed quickly.

Su Jixiang just glanced at her and nodded lightly, as a way of returning her gift.

Su Jixiang took Huarui's hand warmly, "It's been so long since I last saw you! I really missed you so much! Let me see how you are now!" She took Huarui's hand and looked her up and down, "Well, you look very healthy. You must be very happy to see me! I sent you an invitation to come to my house tomorrow. It's great to see you today."

Huarui is still confused!

Now she came back to her senses.

"Greetings, Madam Wei, General." She saluted quickly.

"No, no!" Su Jixiang pulled her and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to me? Just call me Sister Jixiang from now on!"

Hua Rui blushed slightly and nodded. She looked behind Su Jixiang, and the cold and elegant man nodded slightly at her, which was also a greeting.

Hua Rui was shocked. General Wei actually came to the market with Su Jixiang in person!!!

Bi He was also feeling jealous. Wei Ling, who was standing behind Su Jixiang, had a noble temperament. Standing there, he stood out like a crane among chickens, dazzling and eye-catching...

Seeing that Su Jixiang didn't pay any attention to her at all, she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Wei Ling. Besides, her conversation with Hua Rui had obviously been overheard by Su Jixiang. She felt embarrassed to stand there any longer, so she quickly bowed and took her maid to hide in the crowd.

Seeing Bihe was understanding, Su Jixiang didn't argue with her anymore. She just rolled her eyes at her back, "You're already married, why are you still like this!" She grumbled softly, then took Huarui's hand warmly, "Are you out shopping too? But what a coincidence, I just happened to be out shopping too, let's go together!"

Hua Rui quickly shook her head, "No, no. I just received your invitation and will go to your house tomorrow, so I came out today to see if there is any gift I can bring you. Now that the things have been delivered, that's enough! I bought these eggs for you. You shouldn't despise them." She was also a person with good eyesight. Wei Ling was obviously accompanying Su Jixiang to go shopping. What was the point of her following them when the couple went out?

"How could I dislike it? As long as you have the intention, you can just come to me tomorrow. You don't need to bring anything!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "You really don't want to go for a walk together?"

"I'll visit you another day, forget about today. I have to go back and prepare some things!" Hua Rui stole a glance at Wei Ling, and seeing that he looked calm and didn't even look at her, she knew that Wei Ling didn't want her to follow them. Today was just a coincidence. Hua Rui quickly stuffed a basket of eggs into Su Jixiang's hands, and bowed to Wei Ling, "Goodbye now."

"Okay, I won't keep you here. If you are free tomorrow, come to my place early. I'll wait for you." Su Jixiang knew that Wei Ling's look of keeping people at a distance was very scary, so she didn't try to keep Hua Rui, but just accepted the basket of eggs.

Huarui nodded quickly and said goodbye and left.

After Hua Rui left, Su Jixiang was just about to continue walking with the eggs when Wei Ling raised his hand and took the basket.

"Let Wei Zhong send it back." He said to Su Jixiang. He raised his hand and Wei Zhong, who was standing not far away, hurried over and took the basket.

Wei Ling turned around and naturally took Su Jixiang's hand, "Let's go." He didn't say much, his words were brief but left no room for rejection.
