Chapter 171 Confrontation, Complete Victory

The shopkeeper quickly ordered the waiter to take out all the new jewelry and put them on the counter. The exquisite and precious brocade boxes were opened one by one, and the new and exquisite styles and bright colors of the jewelry appeared in front of her eyes, almost blinding her eyes.

"Miss, slow down." Outside the treasure house, a young lady walked in surrounded by maids, and the maid's arrogant voice sounded, "Shopkeeper! Take out all the new styles in your silver shop recently. Our girl wants to pick the best one. It will be given to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid glanced at the treasures on the counter with her sharp eyes, and her eyes lit up, "These are so beautiful! Are they all new styles this year? Miss, I think this--"

The overly quiet atmosphere in the treasure house made the maid's voice particularly clear, so that the other ladies turned their heads and looked at the girl who stepped into the door.

Wen Lan, the daughter of the Wen family.

Compared to the maid who only stared at the jewelry on the counter, Wen Lan saw Nan Xi standing by the counter as soon as she stepped into the treasure house.

The so-called narrow road for enemies is probably like this.

Of course, there is another reason. Nan Xi's face is too outstanding and eye-catching. Even if her eyebrows are gentle and soft, she can't hide the dazzling elegance exuded from her body.

So even in a noisy and bustling place, people can see her at a glance.

Besides, there are not many people in the treasure house at this time.

When Wen Lan saw Nan Xi, Nan Xi also noticed Wen Lan's arrival. The four looked at each other and were silent for a while.

The atmosphere in the silver building was a little subtle for a moment.

In the end, Wen Lan naturally spoke first, nodding dignifiedly and politely: "Miss Nan."

Her attitude and demeanor were impeccable, but her voice sounded a little light and not warm.

Nan Xi smiled faintly: "Miss Wen, what a coincidence."

"It is indeed quite a coincidence." Wen Lan said indifferently, "Miss Nan is also here to choose a birthday gift for the Queen Mother?"

Nan Xi was silent: "A birthday gift for the Queen Mother?"

Her expression did not seem unusual, but Wen Lan could still hear the slight surprise in her tone. Wen Lan paused slightly, and she knew in her heart that Nan Xi was not here to choose a gift for the Queen Mother, or it could be said that she had never thought about preparing a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, and she didn't even take it to heart.

This feeling is indescribably suffocating, and makes people feel invisible and embarrassed. Perhaps only people with a keen mind can detect this emotion.

The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. The queens and concubines in the palace, the royal women outside the palace, the noble ladies of the aristocratic families, and even the eldest princess, who is not trying their best to please the Queen Mother?

But this Miss Nan Xi, a merchant girl who was once looked down upon by others, didn't even want to spend this much time, as if she didn't care about the Queen Mother at all. It felt like she didn't care about what others were trying so hard to pursue - because she already had everything, so she didn't even bother to do the superficial work.

Wen Lan suppressed her emotions and said lightly: "Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, Miss Nan, don't you know?"

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "I know about the Queen Mother's birthday, but shouldn't the gifts be prepared long ago? There are so many good things in the warehouse of the Regent's Palace, there is no need to go out and buy them deliberately."

What is killing people and destroying their hearts?

Ye Qingcheng saw it today.

She saw with her own eyes that after hearing Nan Xi's words, the face of this woman surnamed Wen was stiff for a moment, with a kind of embarrassment and anger without any grace, but she seemed to be well-educated, without the hysteria and rage of those women, but she controlled her emotions well.

Ye Qingcheng raised the corner of her lips slightly, relaxed her body and leaned against the corner of the counter, her posture was lazy and casual, and she temporarily ignored the valuable jewels in front of her, but concentrated on watching the show.

Smart people will never suddenly become stupid at any time, and she knew what was going on in the scene in front of her without asking.

It can be seen that Nan Xi and Wen Lan have known each other for a long time and have dealt with each other.

The relationship between the two is not very good, which can be seen by anyone with eyes.

Miss Wen's dress and temperament show that she comes from a famous and powerful family, so she must know that Nan Xi has married the Regent, but when she met just now, she called "Miss Nan" instead of "Princess", which shows that in her heart, she is unwilling to admit the fact that Nan Xi is the Regent Princess - although it doesn't matter whether she admits it or not.

However, it can be seen from this that she is very likely to be Nan Xi's rival in love.

But why does she like Regent Rong Yu?

Ye Qingcheng thought about it. Although the Regent was indeed quite cuddly in front of Nan Xi, Rong Yu on the battlefield was simply a cold-blooded killer, with ruthless means. He had a noble and handsome face, but his personality was as cold and difficult to get close to as a flower on the mountain... What did this Miss Wen like about him?

But whether she liked it or not, it seemed that Nan Xi had the upper hand in this confrontation.

"After marrying into the Regent's Mansion, Miss Nan really has more confidence in her words." After a moment of stiffness, Wen Lan quickly raised a faint smile, and her voice sounded ambiguous, "It's just the Queen Mother's birthday, we are sending our own gifts, Miss Nan is not willing to spend a little thought?"

Nan Xi said indifferently: "I don't need to please the Queen Mother, why should I spend so much thought?"

Wen Lan froze.

"In addition, there is one thing that Miss Wen may have made a mistake." Nan Xi said with a smile, "Before I married Rong Yu, I was very confident. After marrying the Regent, I was able to walk sideways even more. I know Miss Wen envies me, but there is only one Rong Yu, and others can't envy him."

At that moment, Ye Qingcheng saw with her own eyes that the expression on Miss Wen's beautiful face froze, and her fair skin turned from blue to white, and soon it was stained with red - her face was red with anger.

"Miss Nan, what you said is too much." The maid next to Wen Lan couldn't stand it and couldn't help but speak up to defend her master, "Just because you marry the Regent King, you can bully people like this? My young lady didn't offend you--"

"Hey, if I don't show my power, do you think I'm a sick cat?" Yin Yue, who had been silent beside Nan Xi, finally stood up and sneered, "Are you deaf or blind, you bitch? Your young lady didn't offend the princess? Does it count as an offense to say sarcastic things? Does it count as an offense to not be polite to the princess and dare to speak in a yin and yang way? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the princess is not allowed to light lamps? Even the evil people who complain first are not like you. A little maid dares to act in front of the Regent Princess. You are really bold! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the princess!"

The crackling scolding, threats and intimidation directly frightened the mouthy maid to pale face, and she knelt down with a plop.

The sound of knees hitting the ground was painful to hear.
