Chapter 554 This Emotional Intelligence Is Really High!
To be honest, Xiao Xixi didn't really want to go out.
But the queen mother has already sent Nv Shi to invite her. If she doesn't go, she won't give the queen mother a favor.
The queen mother is different from the queen. She is the grandmother of the prince and the woman with the highest status in the harem. Even the emperor must respect her.
Xiao Xixi really can't afford to offend.
She hesitated before saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
Since it is to meet the elders, it is natural to dress formally.
When she was properly dressed, Xiao Xixi sent Baoqin out.
She opened the closet and took out the little blue bag.
She rummaged through the bag, and finally found a small medicine bottle and a small and delicate dagger.
Although the queen mother's attitude towards the prince is still kind, she should not suddenly attack her, but she still has to bring a knife to protect herself just in case.
She opened the medicine bottle, poured out a Qi deficiency pill from it, and ate it in her mouth.
No matter what the queen mother did to her, she had already made up her mind that she would pretend to be ill to escape later.
She stuffed the medicine bottle back into her bag, closed the closet door, turned around and walked out.
Nv Shi had been waiting outside for a long time.
Xiao Xixi got into the sedan chair, she warned Qingsong.
"When the prince comes, you can tell the prince for me. I'm going to Changle Palace. I'll be back soon. Don't let him worry."
"Here."
Qingsong stood there, watching the sedan chair gradually go away.
This time it was Baoqin who accompanied Xiao Xixi out.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Changle Palace.
Baoqin helped Concubine Xiao get off the sedan chair, and Nv Shi led the way and led them into Changle Palace.
This is Xiao Xixi's first visit to Changle Palace.
She didn't have the thought to look around, she was thinking about the reason why the Queen Mother summoned her.
In the flower hall, the queen mother is pruning the branches and leaves of a pot of orchid.
Xie Chuxue stood by the side and spoke with the queen mother.
Seeing Concubine Xiao coming, the queen mother stopped, looked up at Concubine Xiao, and looked at her from head to toe.
Xiao Xixi stepped forward to greet her: "My concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
The empress dowager said with a smile: "So you are Concubine Xiao, and you look like a lovable child. No wonder the prince dotes on you so much. Before, he came to beg the concubine to consecrate you as Concubine Concubine."
Xiao Xixi's face was shy: "The Queen Mother, don't make fun of others."
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl lowered her head slightly, her fair and beautiful little face was full of shyness, and she looked very cute.
The queen mother chatted with her in a warm voice, talking about daily trivial matters, it seemed like the ordinary elders cared about the younger generation, and the attitude was very kind.
Then they went to the garden again.
Because the queen mother likes to care for flowers and plants, there are many flowers and plants planted in Changle Palace, many of which are rare species that Xiao Xixi has never seen before.
Xiao Xixi even saw the sunflower she gave to the queen mother.
Among the piles of exotic flowers and plants, the sunflower looked particularly abrupt, especially the way it stretched its petals facing the sun. At first glance, it was very different from the group of coquettish bitches around.
What surprised Xiao Xixi even more was that the queen mother actually liked this sunflower.
The queen mother said with emotion: "Aijia's grandmother likes sunflowers very much. Her old man thinks that the sunflower looks golden and gives people a lively feeling. When Aijia sees this sunflower, she can't help but think of her old man."
Xiao Xixi and Xie Chuxue quickly relieved.
After all, the queen mother is old and her energy is limited. After walking around for a while, she feels tired and wants to go back to her room to rest.
Xiao Xixi thought that her mission was completed and she should be able to go back, but unexpectedly heard the Queen Mother suddenly say.
"Actually, the Ai family called you here this time because there is something I want to ask you to help with."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly said, "Just tell me."
The queen mother said slowly: "Ai's family plans to set up a shantang, which is specially used to help the poor people in the city, but Ai's family is old and has no energy to do these things. I want to leave this matter to her to take care of. Chuxue is very smart and capable, but she is an unmarried girl after all, and it is inconvenient for her to do some things. She is new to Shengjing, and she is not very interested in this place. Familiar, so Aijia wants to find her a helper."
Xiao Xixi had a bad feeling in her heart.
The queen mother smiled and looked at Xie Chuxue.
Xie Chuxue smiled slightly, took the initiative to step forward, and held Xiao Xixi's hand affectionately.
"I'm unfamiliar here, I don't even have a friend, so I only have some friendship with you. I know that you are also kind-hearted, and you should be very happy to do this kind of thing that can help others, right? Bar?"
Xiao Xixi has to admire Xie Chuxue, she deserves to be a woman who can become a sea king, this emotional intelligence is really high!
No wonder Luo Yechen was played around by her.
Xiao Xixi said helplessly: "It's a good thing to open a shantang. Of course, I want to help, but unfortunately I fell ill a few days ago because I accidentally fell into the water. I haven't recovered yet. Even if I want to help, I'm helpless."
Before, because of falling into the water, she specially invited an imperial physician to treat her illness.
It's true and it's easy to find out, so she's not at all afraid that the queen mother will check it out.
Xie Chuxue said with concern: "It turns out that you are ill, I should visit you, are you feeling better now?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's much better than before, but occasionally there is a little chest tightness and shortness of breath. The imperial doctor said that it will take a while to recuperate."
It just so happened that the effect of Qi Deficiency Pill took place at this time.
She clutched her chest, frowned slightly, and her face gradually turned pale.
It was obviously uncomfortable.
When the queen mother saw this, she finally completely believed what she said.
It seemed that she was really sick, not a deliberate excuse.
The queen mother had someone help her to sit next to her.
Xie Chuxue's face was full of worry: "Looking at your face so bad, you must be seriously ill. Why don't you ask an imperial doctor to see you?"
Xiao Xixi waved her hand: "Don't be so troublesome, I've seen a doctor before, and it's useless to see it again."
The queen mother sighed: "I knew you were ill, and Aijia shouldn't have called you here. This time, it's just causing you trouble."
"The queen mother don't want to say such a thing. It's a concubine's honor to be summoned by the queen mother. It's a pity that the concubine's body is too unsatisfactory, and it has failed the good intentions of the queen mother."
As she said that, she deliberately pressed her chest and put on a uncomfortable look.
This is what she learned from Concubine Bai.
When it comes to how to make yourself sicker and more pretentious, Concubine Bai Fang is definitely an excellent model!
The queen mother calmed down a few words, and then asked someone to send her back.
Xie Chuxue took the initiative to ask Ying: "I just happen to be fine, let me send Concubine Xiao back, just in time we can still talk on the road."
The queen mother smiled and replied, "That's fine. With you by her side, Aijia can feel more at ease."
