1291, two Joe
Xu Shu struggled to open Zhou Jin's face that was approaching and panting, "The King of Donghai gave you a thank-you gift, and you also want to give him back to you as a gift!"
"I know! I'm ready!" Zhou Jin finally grabbed Xu Shu's hand that blocked him and kissed him.
"As the emperor ordered, I sent the beauty presented by the King of East China to pay homage to the Queen!" Eunuch Xing'an sent Erqiao over as Zhou Jin's instructions.
Zhou Jin gritted his teeth, raised his head in anger, and his teeth clattered. He was extremely dissatisfied with the abnormal time of coming. Xu Shu gathered up the clothes that were torn by Zhou Jin, and gave Zhou Jin another wink, signaling him to leave quickly. Zhou Jin could only leave through the side door. After Xu Shu put on makeup, he asked someone to invite the two beauties in.
"My sisters meet the Queen, thousands of years old, thousands of years old!"
"Flat!" Xu Shu raised her hand lightly, and her eyes swept past the two of them.
One is plump, one is thin, one is tall, one is petite, one is beautiful, and the other is pretty. They are really thin and fat, each with their own strengths! It took a lot of effort to choose people from Donghai. I don’t know what kind of women Zhou Jin likes, so I choose different types of people to send them. There is always something he likes.
However, although these two Qiaos have their own merits, they are still much inferior against Xu Shu.
Xu Shu's appearance is really good, she is swaying but not demonic, clear but not cold, and spiritual but not vulgar. It was just because she was blind when she was young and covered her eyes with cloth belts all year round, so that people would ignore her appearance. After she cured her eyes, she lived in the Zheng family and was not known to the world. In addition, Xu Shu experienced the warmth and coldness of the world too early, and her every frown and smile showed a clearness that was different from ordinary people, which was particularly eye-catching. Otherwise, Zhou Jin, who had been used to seeing the beauty, would not be able to stop.
"What are their names?" Xu Shu did not give her seat, nor did she look at her, but just fiddled with the teacup.
The two looked at each other, and the petite one spoke first, "My daughter's original surname is Liu, and the single name is "Xin". My daughter's biological father is just a rural official and died due to the invasion of pirates. King Donghai is the adopted father of his daughter. After being adopted by his adopted father, he was changed to the surname Qiao!"
Xu Shu nodded. From the two Qiaos, she knew that the two of them were mainly petite named Qiao Xin. Their conversation was clear and they were not panicked at all. They did not feel the same as the daughter of a rural official. They did not look like the daughter of a rural official when she was as old as her. When she was as old as her, she could not be as relaxed as her when facing the people in the palace. It can be seen that she is not a person to be underestimated.
The plump one continued, "My daughter Qiao Yanyan, the father of the daughter is the younger brother of the King of East China Sea. He has passed away ten years ago. My daughter was raised by my uncle!"
This person was obviously much more nervous than Qiao Jia. Not only did he talk less, but he swallowed unconsciously when he spoke, and his hands grabbed his skirt from time to time to relieve his nervousness. This was like the normal reaction that a 14 or 15-year-old girl should have when she met a person who could take her life with just one sentence. And just when she asked her, Qiao Yanyan took the lead in turning her eyes to Qiao Xin, which shows that they should be very familiar with each other. Qiao Yanyan relies very much on Qiao Xin, and when she controls Qiao Xin, she controls Qiao Yanyan.
Xu Shu nodded slightly, "You have just entered the palace today, and it's suddenly coming again. There is no time to arrange a residence for you, so let's live in the side hall of Qifeng Palace!"
Erqiao entered the palace for the first time, so he naturally didn't know where the Qifeng Palace was, but he didn't dare to ask and agreed obediently, "Empress Xie!" The doubt on his face could not be concealed.
Yuzhu explained, "Qifeng Palace is the residence of the Empress. The Empress has sympathized with you from afar and is not familiar with the environment in the palace. You are especially allowed to live in Qifeng Palace. You must study the etiquette in the palace well and do not let the Empress down!"
"yes!"
Qiao Yanyan was obviously stunned when she knew that Qifeng Palace was Xu Shu's residence. Since Qifeng Palace was the residence of the queen, how could they live in the same palace with the queen? This is not in accordance with the rules! Moreover, although the queen arranged a residence for them, she did not give them any titles, and even mentioned the matter of being in place. Although they were nominally beauties, they were not from ordinary origins. No matter how bad they were, they should be named a talent. But now there is nothing, so they were confused and let them live in the Qifeng Palace. However, if the queen didn't say it, Qiao Yanyan didn't dare to ask, so she could only look at Qiao Xin secretly, hoping that Qiao Xin could raise the same doubts as hers.
But Qiao Xin didn't care so much after hearing this, and didn't realize that their identities were uncertain. She also faintly showed some happiness, as if Xu Shu's arrangement was exactly what she thought.
That Qiao Yanyan looked very superficial and subconsciously relied on Qiao Xin in everything. It was not worth mentioning, but Qiao Xin had to pay more attention. Xu Shu waved her hand, "Yuzhu, take two Miss Qiao to the Empress Dowager, and the two Empress Dowagers to pay tribute to you!"
Let’s use them to test the attitudes of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Huixian. Maybe we can take the opportunity to find out the intention of the King of Donghai’s move.
"Yes, two, come with me!" Yuzhu turned sideways and led Erqiao out.
After sending Erqiao away, Xu Shu ordered Lu He, "Pack up your things, it's time for us to go back to Qifeng Palace!"
"Yes!" Lu He responded and whispered, "Yuzhu just asked two extremely powerful nannies from Madam Yuan!"
Thinking of what Yuzhu said just now, asking Erqiao to learn the etiquette in the palace, Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, "It's good, you can restrain them and save them from causing trouble!"
Luhe nodded, "I will instruct the nanny to watch them and prevent them from coming to the Queen Mother to disturb the Queen Mother!"
Yuzhu took Er Qiao to pay her respects and secretly told Xu Shu, "The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Huixian are very ordinary to both Miss Qiao and do not take care of them deliberately, especially Empress Dowager Huixian, who did not ask anything."
The more they avoid suspicion, the more strange it seems. According to their previous behavior, they should be very happy to see Zhou Jin's harem add people. Now that people are at the bottom of their interest, either they are really not interested, or they already know all the details, and Xu Shu has a clear mind.
After living in Qiyuan Palace for more than a month, Xu Shu moved back to Qifeng Palace, and Zhou Jin did not go to Qifeng Palace much after that. Only Xu Shu would occasionally go to Qiyuan Palace. Although no one said anything on the surface, there were a lot of rumors in secret, and most of them were talking about Xu Shu that might have fallen out of favor. After all, Zhou Jin's previous favor for Xu Shu was obvious to everyone, and it is also true that Zhou Jin neglected Xu Shu now.
