Princess Shu didn't know what happened yet, but she felt that everyone was looking at her with a somewhat complicated look.
She walked towards Shen Ningning with a smile: "Ningning, there was something wrong with the carriage when we came here, so we came late."
After that, she turned to say hello to Concubine Qi. In the sunshine, Princess Shu smiled gently and looked at Concubine Qi's face. Zhang Qiang pretended to be calm, while Shen Ningning secretly smiled.
Princess Shu explained to Concubine Qi: "Since today is the queen's birthday, I have also prepared a gift."
The servant behind her brought a brocade box to it. When she opened it, everyone saw that what was inside turned out to be a symbol of I have a good relationship with a gold and silver lotus.
Princess Shu's blessing could not be more obvious. She wished that Concubine Qi and the emperor would love each other.
Everyone looked at the jade plaque around Concubine Qi's neck, and their moods suddenly became more complicated!
Concubine Qi smiled, her lips tightened: "Princess, you are interested. I like this gift very much, and the emperor must be satisfied with it. Come, show me your seat."
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qi wanted to let the singer and dance performer Dancer comes up.
Of course Shen Ningning would not let her have her wish.
The little girl stood up, walked over and took Princess Shu's arm, pointing to the jade plaque on Princess Qi's chest.
"Aunt Princess, you came just in time. We are still discussing what happened to the jade plaque around Concubine Qi's neck."
Princess Shu looked a little confused and glanced at Concubine Qi: "Jade plaque?"
Shen Ningning Then it was confirmed that Princess Shu didn't know that King Shu gave the jade plaque to Concubine Qi!
The moment the little girl lowered her head, she saw a bunch of colorful strings wrapped around Princess Shu's wrist.
This loop is the rope on which the jade plaque is hung...
What a treacherous and stingy King of Shu. He gave the jade plaque to Concubine Qi and then removed the rope and gave it to his wife!
It's really not a thing.
Shen Ningning was about to expose it on the spot, but unexpectedly, Mo Zhirou was one step ahead of her and spoke first:
"Mother, please bear with me that your father did give you a brocade box with a jade plaque inside, right?"
Princess Shu felt even more confused: "It's true that I gave you a brocade box, but there is a colorful luo in it, not a jade plaque. You see."
She gently pulled up her sleeves to reveal the colorful luo between her wrists.
Seeing this gift, Princess Shu's eyes showed a soft and sweet smile.
"Your father said that this colorful string was obtained after offering lamps in front of the Buddha for seven days. What about the jade plaque you mentioned?"
When Mo Zhirou saw this string of colorful strings, his face suddenly turned pale.
Of course she recognized it, it was just the rope hanging the jade plaque.
Where is the colorful network that provides light for seven days?
Mo Zhirou subconsciously wanted to help King Shu lie, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Ningning staring at her with a calm smile.
Mo Zhirou's heart skipped a beat.
Unfortunately, Shen Ningning also knew the origin of the rope. Mo Zhirou bought the jade plaque that day and deliberately showed it off in front of the little girl.
Shen Ningning squinted her eyes and said, "Auntie Princess, it's like this. A Persian businessman brought a top-quality imperial green jade tablet and auctioned it in the capital. I wanted to buy it."
"But when I went there, Mo The girl has already bought it, because she said that the King of Shu wanted to give it to your aunt, so I didn't fight for it, but today I happened to see that Concubine Qi was also wearing an identical jade plaque around her neck. What a coincidence, do you think? !"
As she spoke, Shen Ningning covered her mouth with her small hands and laughed softly as if unintentionally.
The female family members present stared at Concubine Qi silently.
At this moment, Concubine Qi felt on pins and needles, especially when Princess Shu looked over with a cold and inquiring look, she was sweating profusely.
The sunshine in spring was very good, making people feel warm from the sun, but Concubine Qi only felt a chill on her back. Just when she was about to explain, Shen Ningning interrupted again.
The little girl said: "And the colorful rope in your hand is not ordinary, because when Miss Mo was showing off, I saw that the colorful rope was just used to hang the jade plaque."
"Could it be that after Uncle King Shu bought it, Did you really hold the lamp in front of the Buddha for seven days?"
The ladies and relatives around them took a breath.
Princess Funing is about to throw the evidence in Concubine Qi's face!
Liang Yici frowned and looked at Concubine Qi, the displeasure and coldness in her eyes almost overflowing.
She once heard her mother Fang Qingdai say that Concubine Qi had sinister thoughts. When she knew that Si Si Yi and Xie Cheng were attracted to each other, she still wanted Si Si Yi to contact and seduce the King of Shu.
It was a waste of time to treat her as considerately as a sister.
But she only wanted to let Shen Siyi cling to the royal power so as to benefit herself.
Liang Yici thought of this and when she looked at Shen Ningning, she felt like encouraging the little girl.
Concubine Qi owes it to Shen Shen, so it would be appropriate for her daughter to come back with revenge!
Ye Changyi asked Qi Xiuwei in a low voice: "What is the relationship between your aunt and the King of Shu? Have you known each other before?"
Qi Xiuwei twisted her handkerchief and felt embarrassed, so she subconsciously said: "How do I know? I hope they are okay, otherwise, I won't be able to hold my head up when I see Princess Shu in the future!"
The ladies lowered their voices and started talking.
The atmosphere in the scene was frozen for a while. Princess Shu looked at Cailuo on her wrist, her eyes cold and cold.
She raised her head and took the initiative to ask Concubine Qi: "Empress, is this jade plaque of yours really a gift from my husband, the King of Shu, as Ning Ning said?"
Mo Zhirou hurriedly smoothed things over and protected the King of Shu: "Mother , you must have misunderstood, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has also misunderstood. There cannot be only one kind of jade token in this world, maybe I bought the same one by chance."
Shen Ningning knew she would say this.
So he laughed and said softly with pink lips: "What a coincidence. The jade plaque on Concubine Qi's body is the one that King Shu asked you to buy."
"It also has the shape of flowers blooming and pedunculated. The position of the stamens, The tinge of red appears due to the impurities in the jade. Whether it is true or not, the princess can confirm it at a glance.
"It can't be different jade brands but have the same impurities, right? Can't every leaf be exactly the same?" "How can a Persian businessman have two identical jade tablets?"
Mo Zhirou's face was as pale as paper.
Concubine Qi's nails dug into her palms with hatred.
This stupid Mo Zhirou, don't speak if you can't speak. The few words he said drove her to death!
Princess Shu's face was already very ugly.
Concubine Qi slowly exhaled in the face of Qi Shuasa's eyes staring at her.
After a while, she said: "If what Princess Funing said is true, then this jade tablet must have been bought by the King of Shu."
The female relatives present were in an uproar.
Princess Shu bit her lower lip: "Please speak more clearly, my husband. How did the things my husband bought get to my wife?"
Concubine Qi had a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
She pretended to be calm and clenched her fingertips under her sleeves: "Actually..."
