A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 285 Gifts
"Sister Ailian, you are so beautiful!"

Back in front of the carriage, after seeing Chang Ning's appearance at close range, Nuo Min's eyes immediately flashed an astonishing light.

"Thank you cousin for the compliment. If it wasn't for cousin just now, my sister would have been killed by those villains. Thank you for saving my life." Chang Ning used the western etiquette he had just learned; he covered his heart with his right hand, knelt down on one knee, and sincerely gave Nuo Min A big gift.

"No need, you are the princess, how can you kneel down for me as a servant girl." Nuo Min hurriedly helped Chang Ning up, and said with a hearty smile.

"It should be a life-saving grace." Chang Ning ordered Xiao Ling: "Little Bell, take out the prepared gift."

Xiao Ling quickly took out a small exquisitely carved mother-of-pearl box, opened it, and found a gemstone brooch inside.

The shape is a simple phoenix tail pattern, slightly curled into an arc, and a sapphire the size of a finger is inlaid on the tail.

The color and cut of the sapphire were exactly the same as the one on Azzello's forehead.

Chang Ning put the brooch on Nuo Min with his own hands, and said: "My sister specially asked a craftsman to order this, please be careful, please accept it."

Nuo Min has a lot of gemstone jewelry, but this is the first time she has seen this style pinned on the front of the skirt.And the sapphire on it is very similar to the one on Azzello's forehead. I immediately liked it very much, and I couldn't put it down for a while. I didn't refuse, and I readily accepted it.

At the same time, she also felt that Chang Ning was very winking, not the kind of idiot with nothing but looks, and she felt good about it, so she smiled and said: "My dear sister, don't worry, when you arrive in Xikang City, my cousin will definitely take care of you."

"Thank you cousin!
Seeing Nuo Min looking at the brooch from time to time, and at the appearance of Azheluo's forehead, Chang Ning understood, and returned to his carriage shyly with a smile on his face.

She just sat down, and Xiao Ling, who is always sensitive to matters between men and women, immediately rushed forward and asked: "Girl, is this cousin Nuo Min's fiancée?"

"It doesn't have to be the fiancée, but she must be deeply in love with him, otherwise she wouldn't have come to greet her overnight. Just like the last time in the capital, the eighth princess came to welcome your young master specially, but, alas—"

Speaking of this, Chang Ning suddenly sighed a little depressed, remembering that Azhe Luo seemed to be interested in him.

"It's just what, oh, the bull is really, obviously..."

Just as Xiao Ling was about to complain, Chang Ning covered her mouth.

Chang Ning lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear: "Little Bell, my current identity is Azheluo's younger sister, and he can't do anything no matter how thoughtful he is. So from now on, you must be cautious in what you say and do. , don’t let someone with a heart see anything.”

"Oh! This servant will remember." Xiao Ling nodded quickly.

For the rest of the time, because of the protection of the [-] soldiers brought by Nuo Min, the assassins did not dare to attack again, and Chang Ning and his party entered Xikang City smoothly.

Because of the festival, the colorful flags in Xikang City are fluttering at this time, and the lights and festoons are decorated everywhere, making it very lively.

When the king of Ximan heard that the convoy was attacked on the road, he immediately granted half a day sympathetically, and allowed Chang Ning to rest for half a day after entering the palace before going to see the royal family.

Xikang City has not long been established as the capital, and its prosperity is naturally incomparable to that of Dayu's capital.Regardless of the scale of the building or the degree of magnificence, it is not on the same level.The Ximan Palace is placed in Dayu Capital City, which is the specification of a princess mansion, but the architectural style is very distinctive.

The shape of the palace building is a tent-like shape with spires. From a distance, the buildings are high and low, and they are all spires. The overall color is mainly white, and the edges are decorated with various painted decorations, which is very exotic.

But because the palace is small and there are too many princes and princesses in Ximan, the house is naturally not enough to live in.

After entering the palace, Changning, who came from afar, couldn't even have a palace of his own, and was only allocated three rooms in one building.

One is used as a bathing room and storage of sundries, the other is a bedroom and living room, and the other is a room for the maids to live and rest.

Fortunately, each room is big enough, the bedroom is separated by a curtain, and divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside, so that Chang Ning will not be allowed to sit on the bed to meet guests.

When Chang Ning walked into the room, there were already two maids and an eunuch waiting inside. When they saw her, the three immediately knelt down and saluted, and said in blunt Chinese: "Slave Hasuula/Mula Muhanyevna /Nubius, Gegenova, have met Her Royal Highness Princess Ailian."

"I'll go, the name is too long, how can I remember it!"

Chang Ning's head hurt when he heard it.

The head of the inner warden is white, with lively eyes, and people are excited to see it. Seeing Chang Ning's embarrassed expression, he immediately said: "Your Highness, this servant is proficient in two languages. The queen specially arranged this servant to teach You speak Western barbarian."

"That's really good!"

Before coming, Xiao Qian also wanted to provide Chang Ning with an interpreter, but he came too hastily, and couldn't find a Dayu woman who was proficient in both languages ​​in a short time, and it was useless for a man to come, and he couldn't follow Chang Ning into the palace.

What's more, with Yan Luo secretly guarding, Chang Ning's safety is safe.Ximan also advocates Sinology, and the nobles can basically speak a few words of Chinese, so Changning simply didn't bring a translator.

Seeing that the Western Man royal family has made a comprehensive arrangement, she was pleased, and after thinking about it, she said, "Let me give you a new name, a Han name, so I can remember it."

"Okay! Please give me your name, Your Highness." The eunuch admired Sinology, and immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"I see that your skin is quite fair, and you are also transparent and delicate. Why don't you call me Baixiu."

After choosing the name for the inner eunuch, Chang Ning looked at the two maids again and said, "As for you two, your eyebrows are very thick and look better than those carefully drawn by others. You are called Qingdai. Your lips are full and full of color. If you don’t point to Zhu, it’s called Danzhu.”

Bai Xiu immediately translated it.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hearing that Chang Ning had not only given him a name, but also praised him, the faces of the two palace maids suddenly showed joy, and they knelt down to thank him.

"I just came here, and I'm not familiar with the place. Everything in this palace depends on your suggestions. This is a little meeting gift from this palace. If you do well in the future, I will definitely reward you a lot." .”

After Chang Ning gave a signal, Xiao Ling immediately handed a gold bracelet to each of the two maids, and a purse to Bai Xiu. Needless to say, the purse contained heavy golden melon seeds.

Seeing such a generous reward, the three of them were naturally overjoyed, and knelt down again to confess their loyalty.Chang Ning doesn't care if they are really loyal or not, she is new here, and it is enough to just do what she should do.Soon, Qingdai and Danzhu waited on him to redress and prepare for the meeting with the Western Man King.

The western barbarian royal family advocated white, so the favored princes and princesses mostly wore white gowns with golden lace in such winter days.Now there are two such robes hanging in the closet in the bedroom, apparently the Queen of Ximan had ordered them to prepare them.

Don't be so high-profile when you first come.

Thinking of this, Chang Ning stopped the maid's idea of ​​taking a white robe, turned around and chose a pink one.
