Chapter 421 Pixiu
Chapter 421 Pixiu
Nanxun Hall.
"What are you laughing at, mother?"
The tenth princess, Qin Tianlu, came towards them swinging a gold-threaded Ruyi brocade bag as an accessory, and the ruffled emerald skirt fluttered with her brisk steps.
Before Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu could answer, she threw herself into Bai Liangyu's arms.
"Is it... that the third brother was punished by the father?"
The tenth princess Qin Tianlu leaned close to Concubine Shu Bai Liangyu's ear and whispered.
"It's not that simple! / It's not that simple!"
Bai Liangyu and her daughter Qin Tianlu said in unison, their eyes lightly met in the air, and a knowing smile appeared at the corners of their lips at the same time.
"Your father has handed the matter over to your mother and the Ninth Prince to investigate."
Bai Liangyu raised his hand and tucked the loose hair on the Tenth Princess Qin Tianlu's forehead behind her ears, his movements gentle and soft.
"The Queen Mother and the Ninth Brother?" Qin Tianlu tilted his head.
"Yes, you will give this to your second sister tomorrow. She knows it."
Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu handed a thick envelope to the Tenth Princess Qin Tianlu.
"What is it?" Qin Tianlu suddenly had a bad feeling.
"It's a banknote." Bai Liangyu looked at his daughter's wrinkled face with a smile in his eyes.
"There is gain only when there is sacrifice."
Seeing her daughter's shy look as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Concubine Shu Bai Liangyu turned up her sleeves and stuffed a heavy and delicate object into her hands, "Here, you have one too, a little toy your father gave you."
"What is that? A Pixiu seal! Made of gold!"
The Tenth Princess Qin Tianlu's eyes, which had been curved with laughter, suddenly became round, and she played with the golden seal in her hand, sparkling with it.
"When I came back from Hanzhang Palace, your father secretly gave it to me, saying it was for you to play with." Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu's voice was gentle, and her low tone was full of tenderness.
"Why doesn't your Majesty give it to me personally?"
Looking at his daughter Qin Tianlu's joyful expression, Bai Liangyu lowered his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
"If mother is out of money one day, I will melt it and give it to you as money." Qin Tianlu hugged Bai Liangyu's arm, smiled playfully and joked.
Bai Liangyu raised his hand and poked Qin Tianlu's forehead. "I know you are filial, but if you dare to melt the seal, you will not be able to come back to my Nanxun Palace. I don't have a daughter who would waste a gift from heaven."
"Your son knows." Qin Tianlu carefully stuffed the golden Pixiu seal into the golden Ruyi brocade bag tied around his waist and patted it gently. "Although they both say it is a small item given to your son to play with, the meaning of the seal is different after all."
The tenth princess Qin Tianlu sighed, "Mother, do you think the emperor will not make me the Pixiu Princess? It would be so embarrassing!"
"Who said anything about you?" Bai Liangyu said softly.
"Apart from Second Princess, who else would tease me like this?"
The tenth princess, Qin Tianlu, twisted her body, pursed her lips slightly, narrowed her bright and lively eyes slightly, and resembled Qin Zhi's eyebrows and eyes, with eyelashes like butterfly wings casting a faint shadow under her eyelids.
Another name for Pixiu is Tianlu, Pixie and Baijie.
Her name is Tianlu. Because her mother spent money like water, she had to be as greedy and thrifty as a Pixiu, to the point that everyone in the palace now knows about it. She knew it.
But she still felt a little embarrassed when her second sister called her Princess Pixiu.
"Hmph!" Qin Tianlu hummed unhappily in front of his mother.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, my dear Princess Baijie." Bai Liangyu said with a smile.
"Mother, you are laughing at me too. Who is this happening to me?" Qin Tianlu's eyes widened.
"What mother means is that having the ten princesses by your side will relieve all your worries!" Bai Liangyu coaxed softly.
Qin Tianlu buried his head in Bai Liangyu's chest in frustration and said nothing more.
