Xiao Heng left after saying that, as if he didn't care whether Qiao Nian would wear the earrings.

But when Qiao Nian saw the little eunuch waiting for her leading the way, he was looking at her from time to time.

She then understood that the little eunuch must have received orders from Xiao Heng.

Thinking about it carefully, a young eunuch from the Imperial Concubine's Palace actually gave in so easily when faced with Xiao Heng's obstruction, without even a hint of embarrassment!

Oh!

When she was in the Huanyi Bureau, she had heard that General Xiao was now able to reach the sky, but she didn't expect that he could even reach the bedrooms of the concubines in the harem!

She took a deep breath and put on the earrings under the watchful eye of the little eunuch.

Seeing this, the young eunuch just came up to greet Qiao Nian. After bowing respectfully to Qiao Nian, he continued to lead her to Concubine De's bedroom.

Concubine De Gui seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

Before Qiao Nian could salute, she greeted him warmly, "We are all one family from now on, so there is no need to salute me!"

She pulled Qiao Nian to stand up, her brows and eyes full of tender concern, "I heard from Qi'er that you fell into the water yesterday while trying to save someone? How is it? Are you feeling better? A royal doctor happened to come to check my pulse in a while. , do you want him to buy one for you as well?”

Qiao Nian smiled back and said, "Thank you for your concern, my lady. The girl is fine."

"That's good!"

As Concubine De Gui spoke, her eyes were finally attracted to the dark red earrings.

Seeing that Qiao Nian was dressed simply today, except for these agate earrings, she asked, "These earrings are unique, but what's the special meaning?"

Qiao Nian's face froze slightly, but she still smiled and shook her head, "No, no."

Concubine De Gui said thoughtfully and stopped asking further questions. She just pulled Qiao Nian aside and sat down.

"I've come to see you for nothing else. I'm just worried about your health. I can't rest assured until I see you." After saying that, he pointed to the table not far away, "It just so happens that today I'm going to let Shangyi Bureau I’ll take your measurements and choose a festive color. It’s time to make the wedding dress!”

Qiao Nian followed Concubine De Gui's direction and saw bright red cloth all over the table.

Although the emperor had granted marriage, she also knew that she was going to marry Prince Ming.

But it wasn't until Concubine De mentioned the word wedding dress and saw so many fabrics for the wedding dress that she truly felt that her marriage was so close to her.

Just as he was thinking about it, King Ming came in from the outside and asked, "What are you saying to Niannian?"

The tone was cheerful.

Qiao Nian immediately stood up and saluted.

Concubine De Gui also walked towards Prince Ming, "Concubine Mother is talking to Niannian about the wedding dress! Oh, by the way, there are also Niannian's earrings. Take a look, are they unique?"

Before Qiao Nian got up, she lowered her eyes and stared at the ground. Listening to Concubine De Gui's words, her eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

She knew that Concubine De Gui mentioned it on purpose.

Prince Ming obviously recognized this earring.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Qiao Nian did not raise her eyes to look at King Ming's face, but after a while, King Ming came to her and helped her up, "These earrings are indeed beautiful, but they are not worthy of Nian Nian at all. I will give them to you later." You are a worthy pair.”

Qiao Nian looked at Prince Ming in surprise, surprised that he didn't question her face to face about the pair of earrings.

After hearing this, Concubine De Gui didn't seem to care about the earrings anymore. She walked to the table and waved to Prince Ming and Qiao Nian, "Come and take a look at these fabrics. Choose the material first and then measure the size."

It was as if Concubine De Gui just mentioned the earrings casually.

Qiao Nian's heart condensed slightly and she said nothing.

Prince Ming, on the other hand, took her hand naturally and walked towards Concubine De. Looking at the materials on the table, he flipped through them casually, "Are these the best materials in the Shangyi Bureau?"

"It's not the best, but it's still excellent!" Concubine De Gui sighed, "You kid, you don't know what the situation is now, how dare you ask for the best?"

They are all people who will be sent to the fiefdom to be idle princes. It is already good to get these materials!

King Ming did not say anything when he heard this.

But the hand holding Qiao Nian unconsciously exerted force.

Qiao Nian's eyebrows sank, and the frostbite on the back of his hand that had not healed hurt a little when he held it.

But, she didn't speak.

Concubine De Gui didn't seem to notice anything strange about Prince Ming. She chose the ingredients on her own. She gestured to Qiao Nian and then to Prince Ming, "I think these two are good. What do you think?"

Prince Ming responded calmly, "It's up to the mother and concubine to decide."

Qiao Nian then followed suit, "But it's up to the imperial concubine to make the decision."

"You guys!" Concubine De Gui glanced at the two of them with a smile, "Do you have to hold hands all the time? Can't you make a good choice?"

Qiao Nian was made a little uncomfortable by this joke and was about to withdraw her hand.

But he didn't expect that King Ming would not let go. Instead, he smiled at Concubine De Gui and said, "I managed to get Nian Nian with great difficulty. Concubine, please don't do bad things!"

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui couldn't help laughing, but at this moment, the eldest maid next to Concubine De Gui walked in. After bowing, she looked at Concubine De Gui with a slightly embarrassed look, and then said, "Your Majesty. , all the nuns from the Clothing Bureau were called to the Queen’s side, saying that they didn’t have time to come over today…”

Hearing this, the smile on Concubine De Gui's face froze instantly.

And the strength of King Ming's men also suddenly increased.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but hissed in pain.

The sound attracted King Ming's attention.

Qiao Nian also glanced at Prince Ming. He knew he was in pain, but he still didn't let go...

But the atmosphere was not right at the moment, so Qiao Nian didn't speak and lowered his eyes silently.

Seeing her like this, Prince Ming's eyes also deepened a little.

The strength of his hand still did not loosen.

Concubine De Gui quickly adjusted herself, "I have remembered it. In a few days it will be the eldest princess's birthday party. I think the people who came to the Clothing Bureau must have gone to make new clothes for the eldest princess. It seems that Nian Nian has today." It’s a waste of time!”

Qiao Nian then spoke, "It's a blessing for a common girl to see the imperial concubine today."

Concubine De Gui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Be good." It seemed like nothing happened, but everyone knew that Concubine De Gui was holding a breath in her heart.

Therefore, Qiao Nian and Prince Ming left together without staying any longer.

However, Prince Ming's hand was still holding Qiao Nian's hand from beginning to end, and he had no intention of letting go even when he walked outside Concubine De Gui's chamber.

Qiao Nian felt a little awkward, and finally couldn't help but pull back her hand.

This time, she pulled her hand back easily.

But King Ming also stood still because of this, then turned around and stared at Qiao Nian.

There was something dark in those eyes, and Qiao Nian could see it clearly.

But he saw King Ming suddenly curl his lips and smile, his dark eyes staring at the string of dark red agates, "Do you like this pair of earrings very much?"
