The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 266: Next Time

Xia Yayun’s tone was sharp, and the sounds of people reciting poems suddenly stopped.

Everyone turned to look at her.

When Xia Yayun saw that, she quickly went forward to pick up the thing that had been thrown out. Then, she immediately knelt, “I am disrespectful. Please forgive me, Your Highness!”

She prostrated on the ground timidly, her body slightly trembling. There was only one thing in her hand. Although that thing was held, more than half of it was revealed. It made people curious.

“What are you holding in your hand? Why are you making such a big fuss?” Asked Concubine Ruan.

“T-This…” Xia Yayun looked panicked, “I-It’s nothing… I-It’s Sister Xie’s. I was scared, that was why I… I beg for your forgiveness, Your Highness!”

“What item could have scared you like that? Hand it over and show us?” Concubine Ruan smiled.

The item was quickly sent up.

It was handed over to the Empress for inspection.

It was a true lover’s knot.

Unmarried women would not normally wear such an item.

Today, the Crown Prince was choosing a consort. If they were married or engaged, they were not allowed to come.

“Whose is it?” Imperial Concubine Meng asked.

Xia Yayun trembled, “I-It’s Xie Qiao, Sister Xie’s. I-I saw her always lowering her head and holding something in her hand, so I curiously took it over to have a look. I was just messing with her, but I didn’t expect…”

Xie Qiao got it now.

So it was a true lover’s knot. She had thought it was something hot. She was startled by the loud scream!

Now that she was pointed out, she could only walk to the front.

Her weak bow looked dignified and gentle.

Just the unhurried manner made people unable to help but look up to her. Imperial Concubine Meng said, “Is this yours?”

“I’m afraid perhaps Young Lady Xia isn’t feeling well, so she was mumbling to herself earlier. I’m not close to her. After she sent my maid away, she suddenly tugged at me maniacally and threw something out. I saw that… I didn’t lose anything on me, so what she threw out should be hers,” Xie Qiao said word by word, she answered in all seriousness.

“Sister Xie?! It’s obviously yours…” Xia Yayun said immediately.

Xie Qiao smiled and took off her cloak.

“Young Lady Xia, look. Is there anywhere for me to hang anything?” Xie Qiao smiled innocently.

Xia Yayun then looked at her waist.

Her eyelids twitched.

Her waist…

People usually wear a jade accessory on their waist. Xie Qiao could be considered to be wearing one, but not exactly. She was wearing a long safety buckle.

The safety buckle had an odd size, but it was actually quite pretty.

In addition, there were three to five small sachets on her waist.

Xie Qiao raised her wrist again. There was a string of golden bells on her wrist, and on the other side were a few red ropes and a jade bracelet.

“Young Lady Xia’s item is quite good, but I really don’t have anywhere to wear it. Next time. Next time, Young Lady Xia, please let me know in advance. I’ll leave a vacant space for it.”

After Xie Qiao said that, she put on her cloak again.

Everyone’s expressions were quite strange.

As Xie Qiao’s cloak was wide, they had not paid attention to what kind of accessories she was wearing earlier.

Now that they saw it, they were a little stunned.

Xie Qiao’s waist was a little too thin. It was not good to have many items hanging around her waist. There were already many things hanging on it. It was indeed impossible to add another true lover’s knot. If she really did, it would not be the symbol of missing her lover, but a show-off. She was not that idiotic.

Moreover, this true lover’s knot was not small. There was even a jade knot on it.

Although there were many things hanging around Xie Qiao’s waist, the overall look was very balanced and pretty. However, if there was such a knot, it would really be strange.

Of course, she could hide it in his embrace. However, Xie Qiao did not seem like someone who made such a guilty mistake.

When the Empress heard Xie Qiao say “next time”, she could not help but smile.
