Ye Jing heard the conversation between the two in a daze, and looked up at his mother: "Mother, is it because I am not as good as Ye Xiaorui, so my great-grandmother doesn't like me."
Yu Qing put down the teacup and hugged Ye Jing into her arms. She looked at him dotingly, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Why? You are the smartest child in the world, no one can compare to you. Don't worry, great-grandmother still likes you the most."
There will be no one else.
After the lunch break, the queen mother sent someone over, saying that they would go to see the lotus together in the afternoon.
When Su Ying led the two children to the Queen Mother's room, almost all the female relatives were present and were talking about something.
Concubine Mi smiled and said: "Auntie, I sent people to inquire about it just now, and this Bingdilian grows at the back of this pond. It is said that it grows gratifyingly and exudes a strong auspicious aura."
Although the Empress Dowager had a lot of prejudice against Concubine Mi today, when she heard Bing Dilian, she felt that it was an auspicious omen.
There was a smile on her face: "You guys will accompany Ai's family to have a look."
All the female family members flattered: "I heard that this is a lotus with four flowers and pedicles, which is an excellent omen."
"It's really a blessing for us to follow the queen mother today."
Seeing that the queen mother was about to get up, Su Xiaorui wanted to go forward and hold the queen mother.
At this time, the beads that Ye Jing was playing with suddenly rolled down on the ground, and Ye Jing hurried forward to pick them up, but accidentally bumped into Su Xiaorui when picking them up.
Su Xiaorui stepped back without paying attention: "Your brother must see the road clearly."
Ye Jing raised his head and smiled innocently at him: "Brother is right."
Su Xiaorui walked up quickly, with a big smile on his lips: "Grandmother."
As soon as the queen mother saw him, she felt in a particularly good mood: "Did you sleep soundly in the afternoon nap?"
"It's quiet here. We slept very well. Great-grandmother, has she rested too?"
The Queen Mother nodded.
"Then let's go to see Sihua Bingdilian now."
The queen mother smiled: "Okay, let's go."
The crowd surrounded the queen mother and went out. Just after leaving the door, Yu Qing suddenly screamed: "No! I lost something!"
The queen mother frowned slightly when she heard this harsh voice: "The important place of Buddhism, what are you doing?"
Yu Qing seemed to have lost her soul: "The concubine disturbed the great grandmother, is it the concubine?"
Concubine Mi asked softly: "The fifth imperial concubine lost something important?"
Yu Qing showed panic and helplessness: "I lost that jade pendant."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly: "But the one consecrated by Master Qingran?"
"Exactly!" Yu Qing said, then lowered her head and continued to search. The more she searched, the more flustered her expression became, and she almost cried when she saw her expression.
All the female relatives also stood in place, holding their breath and looking at her. Why did such a precious thing suddenly disappear
Yu Qing raised her head, her voice was already sobbing: "No."
Concubine Mi's tone was also nervous: "Could it have fallen into the room?"
Yu Qing shook her head: "No, I always carry such a precious thing with me. I was looking at it just now, but when I went out, I found it was gone."
A female family member said: "Such an important thing must be retrieved. Could it have fallen by the chair inside?"
The Queen Mother said: "Since this is the case, we might as well wait a while and go in and search again."
Yu Qing replied that she looked for the place where she was sitting just now, the chairs inside were neatly arranged, the floor was clean, and it was clear at a glance whether there was that jade or not.
Yu Qing's eyes glistened with tears: "No..."
At this moment, Ye Jing suddenly stood up. He pointed at Su Xiaorui and said, "Grandmother, just now I saw brother Xiaorui rubbing past mother, I don't know if he hooked him..."
As soon as Ye Jing said this, the crowd made a noise.
"It's possible for a child to like such an important thing and take it away."
"This is impossible, the Second Young Master is the Second Young Master of Prince Huai's Mansion, do you want anything?"
"There are others, but is this jade an ordinary thing? It was consecrated by Master Qingran!"
"Second young master looks so cute, how could he do such a thing?"
"Did you forget that the Second Young Master didn't grow up in Duke Huai's Mansion? Maybe it was because he took it away on a whim for fun."
The voices of these people were extremely low, and they were muttering, but from their expressions, it was clear that they were not words of praise.
There was a cold look in Su Ying's eyes, it's good that she actually bullied her own son.
But looking at Xiao Rui's appearance, it seems that he has a plan in mind
There was a flash of pride in Yu Qing's eyes, and she looked extremely sad when she lost something: "It doesn't matter if you lose other things, but this jade is absolutely not to be lost! "
When Yu Qing was speaking, she gave Concubine Mi a look, and Concubine Mi looked at Su Xiaorui knowingly, her tone was much softer: "Xiao Rui, have you seen your fifth aunt's jade?"
"Yes." Su Xiaorui looked at her blankly, his dark eyes were innocent and naive, and when everyone gasped, he said slowly, "Didn't Fifth Aunt show it off before taking a nap?"
Someone almost laughed, showing off was a really good use of the word.
The Empress Dowager frowned, and gave Concubine Mi a hard look: "Xiao Rui won't do such a thing."
Ye Jing frowned and thought for a while: "But besides this, no one is close to mother anymore. If Brother Xiao Rui didn't get it, why would the jade disappear?"
Ye Xiaonian raised her chin slightly, her phoenix eyes looked at Ye Jing coldly: "What do you mean?"
Shocked by Ye Xiaonian's cold eyes, Ye Jing shrank his neck. He just looked at Su Xiaorui: "That jade is mother's favorite thing. If brother Xiaorui took it, please return it. Mother will not blame you. .”
Yu Qing didn't speak, just looked at Su Xiaorui.
Su Xiaorui looked at the Queen Mother innocently: "Grandmother, do they mean that Xiao Rui stole things?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Grandmother trusts you, don't mention this matter again."
Su Xiaorui shook his head, and his voice was crisp and clear: "Grandmother, you believe me, but they don't believe me. Now that Xiaorui has been wronged, this matter naturally cannot be left alone. Xiaorui would not do such a thing, But as long as the jade is not found for a day, I will be the murderer in their hearts. I guess they will discuss behind their backs that the second young master of Duke Huai's mansion is a thief. Not only will Xiao Rui lose his head, but my parents will also think about it Bad reputation, and more importantly, they will laugh at the great-grandmother for being blind and loving a thief."
"Who dares?!" The queen mother angrily swept across the crowd, and the female relatives all lowered their heads.
At this time, Concubine Mi sneered, thinking that of course this matter should not be left as such, she laughed and said, "In order to prove Xiao Rui's innocence, it's better to have Nanny Hu next to my aunt do a body search."
