The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 53: Which Lady Embroidered This?

Cui Silang choked twice, raised his sleeve and stretched out the back of his hand to wipe his nose, so that the prime minister's wife could see clearly. I didn't see it clearly at first glance, but now that it was completely exposed, I could only see a light red line on the light yellow line of the purse, and the lines were messy and chaotic. It was hard to guess what the embroidery pattern that looked like a dead branch was based on.

"This... my mother is really observant." After Cui Silang recovered, he took it off without covering it and let her see it openly.

"Whose lady embroidered this? I can't even tell the style. I can tell at a glance that she is not good at needlework." The prime minister's wife did not take it, but just smiled with her hands covering her lips.

Cui Silang said: "The person who embroidered it is indeed not good at needlework, but since she embroidered it herself, I dare not despise it."

He rubbed his palm for a while and guessed, "I think the embroidery on this purse should be an oriole, which means good luck in everything and blessing in the heart."

Li Xi nodded and ate her breakfast, thinking to herself that it would be fine if he didn't throw it away, but how could he not understand it? It was obviously a parrot. She frowned slightly and swallowed a bowl of water bit by bit.

Madam teased, "You are the only one who can understand it, but is it a gift from someone you like?"

Li Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Cui Silang with a burning gaze filled with requests, hoping that he would understand that she must not reveal who the gift belongs to. Women in this world are used to imagining and loving to make guesses, and now she says that the gift was given by the person she likes, and next she will start to arrange a matchmaking for them.

Seeing Cui Silang looking at Li Xiying, Madam Xiang understood immediately. She suddenly said, "Silang, if you have a girl you like, you must tell me so that I can find you a date. If you keep your feelings to yourself, and if another man marries you, you will regret it too late."

Li Xiqie interrupted what Cui Silang was about to say, not daring to pin her hopes on others. If she let the cat out of the bag, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. "Madam...it's getting late. I want to take Shanluo back to the embroidery workshop. Today is a nice day, and I want to go out for a walk."

Madam Xiang's expression froze for a moment, then she put on a bright smile and said, "That's right. Don't get bored staying in the house. It's better to go out and play. Ask Silang to go with you. First, he can be your protector. Second, he has been competing with his chess friends all day. It would be good to let him go out and take some fresh air."

"I won't bother you, Silang-jun..."

The lady retorted, "It's not a hassle, it's not a hard job, just go early and come back early and be careful on the road."

It was only then that Li Xiying realized that regardless of whether Cui Silang said that the purse was embroidered by her or not, the lady was trying to bring the two of them together, so she deliberately created an opportunity for them to be alone.

For example, breakfast was over and no one else came. She looked outside the door and saw a few maids guarding the gate. They seemed to have seen Long Qi leaving. Cui Sanlang was also standing at the gate, peeking inside and seemed to be leaving as well.

In other words, the lady not only did not call anyone else, but only called Cui Silang and her, and also blocked and drove away all the newcomers.

Li Xixuan became more certain of his guess yesterday.

Just looking at Cui Silang, he is handsome, humble, gentle, and kind-hearted, but she only admires him as a friend. After all, the little beggar had clearly harmed his grandfather, but he still helped the needy without holding a grudge, which proved that he has a good heart, not to mention that he saved her life.

But her love is priceless. Even if you create opportunities for them to be alone, she will never fall in love with him, let alone be with him for the rest of her life and manage the beauties in his backyard.

"My mother is so partial. She never invites me to have fun." At the threshold, Sanlang, holding a folding fan and looking sullen, walked slowly over and started complaining as soon as he entered the room.

Madam Xiang was slightly startled. She looked at the maid who was chasing after her and quickly winked at her. After the maid left, she smiled and said, "I was just about to call you over. The daughter of the governor of Tongzhou will come to Chang'an to see her aunt today, but she will stay in our house first. You just need to take care of her."

Sanlang frowned after hearing this, and for a long time he could not accept it, and then his face turned pale, "Mother invited her to play, so mother should accompany her personally, not to mention that men and women should not touch each other, so let's say goodbye. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Madam Xiang hurriedly ordered someone to pull him back. She said, "When you were young, didn't you like that lady from the Chu family? You chased her around every day, and she would cry when she came home. Now that you're older, you always back down?"

Sanlang complained bitterly: "That was when she was young, and she hadn't learned the skills to climb up to the roof and remove the tiles!" Sanlang was almost hysterical, but he said helplessly.

Although she was talented and beautiful, her only shortcoming, which he could not tolerate, was jealousy! It was common for a man to have one wife and multiple concubines, but she could not tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes. Whenever she saw him surrounded by jewels and jade, she would grab his ears and twist them into flower shapes.

He doesn't dare to provoke this kind of woman, and he can't provoke her for the time being!

Si Lang joked, "Third brother still needs to marry his sister-in-law and calm down."

Seeing that Silang was also teasing Sanlang with her, Madam Xiang shook her head in anger and said, "Silang, just go ahead and don't waste time. You don't have to worry about your third brother's affairs. He will definitely get married before you and will definitely not delay your lifelong event."

Cui Silang's face flushed, he smiled hesitantly, and nodded.

Li Xiying did not make any comment as to whether Cui Silang would follow her. He nodded slightly to his wife and left with Shanluo.

Cui Sanlang looked on eagerly, his face wrinkled.

A few people walked out of the house, and the breeze brushed past their faces.

Li Xixiao stretched out her hand in front of Cui Silang and said, "I'm really sorry, Silang. I didn't mean to give you the purse. I just wanted to throw it away. Fortunately, the prime minister's wife didn't know it was from me, otherwise the misunderstanding would be even deeper. You should return it to me. After all, it's ugly to have it hanging on your body."

Cui Silang looked at her white and smooth palm and said with a smile, "It's okay. I don't mind." Then he added, "As long as you don't already have someone you like and you want to embroider this purse for someone else, it's fine."

Li Xiying saw Cui Silang's earnest look and wondered if she nodded and said that she was embroidering it for the person she loved, would he think that the embroidery was ugly and would not dare to give it to him?

This made it even more difficult for her to explain.

The words that the Prime Minister's wife had said to him before were still fresh in his mind. The implication was that she had made such deliberate arrangements so that Silang must seize the opportunity, and it would be his turn after Sanlang got married.

Li Xixiao thought that she shouldn't let people have illusions, and she had to cut them off at the root, so she lied again: "I wanted to embroider this purse for someone I liked, but it was too ugly so I didn't give it away. If you want, I can embroider one for you, but it's for friendship."

Cui Silang paused after hearing this, his eyes dimmed, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you already had someone you liked."

Li Xixiao said without hesitation: "It's my fault for being careless."

He pinched the ugly purse with his long fingers, feeling rather reluctant to part with it. "Since you are going to throw it away, then give it to me. I have used it for two days and I am used to wearing it. Just treat it as a token of friendship. I will not show it to others."

An ugly purse has lost its meaning and value. If he asks for it, just give it to him.

She saw that the light in his eyes seemed to slowly extinguish. She pursed her lips and said meaninglessly, "I didn't expect you to be so frugal. I am ashamed of myself. Since you don't mind, then take it and use it."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shanluo listened to the above conversation and just smiled awkwardly for them.
