Strange love across time and space

When the ladies and ladies in the room saw Jiang and Su Qing coming in, they all stood up and saluted. Although a few of them also had official orders and did not have to salute Jiang, the ladies were all ladies and had no class. , Su Qing is the second-grade county head personally appointed by the emperor, so they naturally have to be polite and considerate. After seeing the ceremony, Jiang and Su Qing were led by the maid to drink tea near the boss. After Su Qing sat down, she felt People around her looked at her with various looks, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were disdainful. Su Qing didn't care, and kept talking to Jiang.

At this time, a clear voice came over

"The Lord of Ning'an County has won the trust of the Emperor. My daughter heard at home that the palace constantly rewards the County Lord. I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift the County Lord has given to His Royal Highness Prince Jin today for his birthday?"

Su Qing looked around and saw a woman in pink clothes. Su Qing looked familiar and couldn't help but point at the woman in pink clothes and asked.

"Why do you look so familiar to me? You are...that...what Lin? What's your name Lin?"

The woman in pink had a look of impatience on her face, but she still said

"County Lord, I am Chen Yilin."

Su Qing slapped her thigh, "Oh, oh, yes, yes! Chen Yilin! She's the one who used to follow Xiao Yuhan all day long, right? Look at my brain, I'm sorry, I didn't think of it at the moment!"

Chen Yilin's face turned red with anger, and the ladies and ladies around her also covered their mouths and snickered. In fact, they all knew that Chen Yilin used to be Xiao Yuhan's follower, and everyone knew the reason for this.

Chen Yilin said with shame and anger

"Su Qing, even though you are now the second-grade county master, you cannot humiliate me in public like this! Aren't you afraid that your words and deeds will reach the ears of the emperor and make him disappointed in you?"

Su Qing smiled and waved her hands

"I'm sorry, Miss Chen. I didn't use my words for a moment and said what was in my heart. However, what I said is the truth. Didn't you just fawn over Xiao Yuhan just to get into the East Palace? But now Xiao Yuhan is divorced. She went crazy in jail, oh, that’s so miserable, don’t get involved with her again, otherwise your reputation will be bad!”

In fact, since Xiao Yuhan married Prince Rui, Chen Yilin has had much less contact with her. After Xiao Yuhan was divorced, Chen Yilin never mentioned her past with Xiao Yuhan, for fear that she would be related to Xiao Yuhan. Today I am just jealous of Su Qing and being mean-mouthed.

Chen Yilin's mother, Mrs. Chen, saw that Su Qing was not giving in at all, so she quickly smoothed things over.

"Master Ning'an County, my Yilin is very outspoken, so please don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Jiang gave Mrs. Chen a cold look.

"Hmph, I know my daughter is a quick talker, so I educate her at home before bringing her out. If Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen can't educate her well, you can also ask a nanny who has retired from the palace to teach the rules in the Chen Mansion! Our family Qingqing I am generous and I will not argue with Miss Chen, but if I speak rudely in front of the nobles in the palace one day, I will suffer a big loss!"

After hearing Jiang's words, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth with hatred, but she still pretended to be respectful.

"Thank you, Mrs. Su, for reminding me. I will naturally educate my daughter well when I go back!"

A nun walked in and saluted.

"Ladies and ladies, His Highness Prince Jin has asked you to go to the main hall to have lunch! Please also go with your servants."

Arriving at the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion, Su Qing saw many small tables placed in the hall, separated by men and women, with a passage in the middle. Su Qing and Jiang followed the maids and sat close to the main seat. I also saw Su Qixuan and Su Rui opposite.

After everyone was seated, King Jin came in and sat at the top. Everyone stood up and saluted. King Jin waved his hand for everyone to sit down and said

"Today is my king's birthday. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and wish me birthday. Originally, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but my father and mother insisted, so I had no choice but to agree."

Having said this, a minister stood up and cupped his hands and said

"As a prince and the God of War respected by everyone in Yong'an Kingdom, His Royal Highness King Jin should hold a birthday banquet. Besides, His Highness has never held a birthday banquet in the past years. I think His Highness is still too low-key."

"Yes, we all hope that His Highness Prince Jin will hold a birthday banquet every year in the future, and we will all come to support him!"

Everyone below was flattering King Jin one after another. King Jin was a little impatient, but he still kept smiling.

Next came the birthday gift part. According to the height of the seats, everyone went up to present gifts one by one. When they arrived at Su's house, Su Qixuan and Su Rui stood up and came to the middle. Su Rui held a wooden box in his hand. Su Qixuan opened it. It is a white jade Guanyin with fine texture and no flaws. Su Qixuan cupped his hands

"The humble minister Su Qixuan and his family sincerely wish His Royal Highness the King of Jin a happy birthday and endless blessings!"

A servant came forward to accept the birthday gift, and King Jin smiled and nodded. Just when Su Qixuan and Su Rui were about to retreat, they heard King Jin say

"I heard that the Lord of Ning'an County is also here?"

Su Qixuan was stunned, looked at King Jin and said

"To tell you what King Jin is saying, it's true that my daughter is here to congratulate His Highness on his birthday today."

After saying that, he looked back at Su Qing. Su Qing immediately came up and saluted. King Jin stood up, walked to Su Qing, and said with a bright smile

"I heard that today is also the county lord's birthday. It seems that I and the county lord are really destined. In order to celebrate my birthday, the county lord's own birthday was delayed. I feel deeply guilty. I also have a birthday today. I have prepared a birthday gift for the County Lord, I hope the County Lord likes it."

After King Jin finished speaking, Qianfeng held up a beautifully carved wooden box. King Jin opened the box himself and handed it to Su Qing. Su Qing saw that inside was a set of pink crystal heads and faces, which were crystal clear and finely crafted. , although it was not very valuable in later generations, in ancient times when materials were scarce, it was a scarcer thing than gold and jade, and it could be said to be priceless.

Su Qing looked at King Jin in surprise, a little incoherent.

"Your Highness, this,,,this crystal head and face are too precious, and my daughter,,,my daughter, is not worthy of it."

"This king says you are worthy, then you are worthy. Don't refuse, County Lord." After saying that, Qianfeng of the Jin Dynasty winked. Qianfeng understood and immediately put the box into Qingzhu's hand. Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and quickly hugged the box tightly, fearing that such a valuable thing would be broken by him.

Su Qing saw that King Jin insisted on this, so he did not refuse, but bowed and thanked him.

Everyone sitting there was surprised when they heard that it was Crystal Head Face, and started whispering. Su Qing sat back in her seat and glanced at the people around her. Some were envious, some were sarcastic, some were jealous, and some were disdainful. Su Qing smiled helplessly and picked up the tea cup.
