"Isn't it yours, Fifth Brother?" Xianyue said with some disbelief: "And I saw it really, and I definitely saw it right."
Her serious look made Hong Zhou a little funny, "But this jade pendant really isn't mine, otherwise could I have lied to you?"
"That's really strange." Xianyue said strangely: "If it doesn't belong to the fifth elder brother, who could it be? Could it be the two empresses?" Saying this, she said distressedly: "That would be troublesome.
I don’t know how to return it to the two empresses, the nuns don’t allow us to leave Zhongcui Palace at will.”
"Since you are not allowed to leave Zhongcui Palace, why are you running out now?" Hearing Hong Zhou's words, Xianyue stuck out her tongue and said, "I ran out secretly when grandma wasn't paying attention."
Hong Zhou shook his head, not knowing what to say, but he took the jade pendant from Xiayue's hand and said, "I'll ask the two empresses for you then, so I can return it to them."
"Thank you, Fifth Brother, you are such a good person." The pear vortex appeared lightly, with crooked eyes like the moon, indescribably charming, cute, and charming.
"Since everything is alright, I should go back. I hope grandma doesn't notice me sneaking out, otherwise I will be punished." Saying this, Xianyue showed a trace of fear on her face, which made Hong Zhou feel soft.
He said, "I'll go back with you. If you want, I won't punish you."
The worry on Xianyue's face was wiped away, replaced by a look of surprise, "Really? Thank you Fifth Brother, you are such a nice person."
Hong Zhou smiled and said nothing, walking with her on the way to Zhongcui Palace. Xianyue talked to him from time to time on the way. Occasionally Hong Zhou would also answer a few words, but the tone was always light, and he did not forget it.
Following Ling Ruo's instructions, no matter how regretful she felt, she kept the proper distance from Xianyue.
"Fifth Brother, when will you enter the palace again?" Xianyue's sudden question made Hong Zhou stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you ask?"
Xianyue's cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and muttered: "No... nothing, I just asked casually." At this point, she suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Hong Zhou, saying: "Fifth Brother, if you come in
Now that you are in the palace, can you come and see me?"
Seeing her like this, Hong Zhou's expression froze, and with an inaudible sigh, he said: "If there is a chance, I will come to see you."
Hong Zhou's answer made Xianyue a little excited. She smiled and said, "It's settled, but you can't cheat." After the words fell, she seemed to feel that she shouldn't talk to Hong Zhou like this, lowering her head and sticking out her tongue.
When she walked outside Zhongcui Palace, Xianyue heard that there was no movement inside, and whispered: "Fifth brother, I think grandma didn't notice it. It's okay. You can go back."
"You and I have already been sent here. It doesn't matter if we take a few more steps. Let's go in." Hong Zhou's words made Xianyue unable to refuse. She followed her words and walked into Zhongcui Palace. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, there was a sound in her ears.
He asked, "Little Master Yue, where have you been? My slave told you that the palace is no different from other places, and you cannot leave Zhongcui Palace at will without being summoned by the master of the harem. You have forgotten what my slave said so quickly.
Did you say that?"
Caught by the steward's aunt, Xianyue froze there in panic, not knowing what to do. Seeing the pity, Hong Zhou stepped forward a few steps: "I dropped the jade pendant, she picked it up, so she gave it to me.
, please ask aunt not to blame her."
Only then did the steward's aunt notice that Hong Zhou was also there, and she quickly bowed and said with a smile, "I didn't know the reason, and thought it was boring for Little Master Daoyue to stay here, so I sneaked out secretly."
Hong Zhou nodded and said, "She also has good intentions, so don't blame her for this."
Since he opened his mouth, there would be no problem, and the steward aunt agreed: "I will obey the fifth elder brother's instructions."
After Hong Zhou left, the steward aunt did not mention this matter again, but before she left the palace, one of the beautiful ladies came over and said: "The bracelet that the imperial concubine gave you before was very unique. Can we take a look at it?"
look?"
This beautiful girl is one of the most outstanding in terms of family background and appearance. Her name is Lan Qiu. She doesn't usually talk to Jie Yue. I don't know what happened today, but she actually took the initiative to speak.
Xianyue took off the bracelet and gave it to her without much thought. Mingyu had no time to stop her. Lan Qiu took it and put it on her hand, looked at it from left to right, and said with great fondness: "The gift given by the imperial concubine is indeed good."
Things are green and clear, and when viewed against the light, the green seems to be flowing."
A beautiful lady standing next to her came over and said: "The imperial concubine has a noble status, and the things she bestows are of course excellent, but it also depends on who wears it. Sister Lan has a fair complexion, so she is most suitable for wearing this bracelet."
Already."
Lan Qiu nodded, put down her sleeves and was about to leave, but Xianyue hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You haven't returned the bracelet to me yet!"
Lan Qiu glanced at her coldly and said: "I didn't hear what I said. This bracelet is most suitable for me to wear. Giving it to you is simply an insult to this bracelet."
"You... are talking nonsense!" Xianyue was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she just said: "Give me the bracelet quickly."
Lan Qiu put his hands behind his back and sneered: "Since it is mine when it is worn on my wrist, come and snatch it away if you have it!"
Xianyue was so angry that she stretched out her hand to grab it, but several beautiful girls gathered around Lan Qiu. They not only stopped Xianyue, but even pushed her to the ground.
What Ling Ruo wants to see has already begun to happen in Zhongcui Palace...
"Xiayue, how are you? Are you okay?" Mingyu quickly stepped forward to help Xianyue up. Facing her concerned eyes, Xianyue curled her lips and said with tears: "Sister Mingyu, they took my bracelet
Snatched."
Mingyu comforted her softly: "It's just a bracelet. If you don't have it, it's gone. So what are you doing seriously?"
"That was given to me by the imperial concubine, why should they snatch it away?" With that said, Xianyue was about to step forward to argue with them, but Mingyu stopped her and said, "You stand there while I talk to them.
"
Before Mingyu could speak, Lan Qiu had already said calmly: "You don't have to waste your words. This bracelet belongs to me. There is no reason to give it to anyone else."
Mingyu glanced at her and said: "Of course you can keep it if you like, but don't forget that this is what the imperial concubine empress gave to Xianyue. If she knows that you took it from Xianyue forcibly, what do you think the empress will think?
?”
Lan Qiu's face darkened slightly, staring at her and saying, "Are you threatening me?"
Mingyu's expression remained unchanged and said: "I don't dare, I'm just telling the truth. Everyone likes good things, but you have to see if you have the qualifications to get them, otherwise you will only get yourself into trouble."
Lan Qiu's face turned green and white for a long time. For a long time, she bitterly took off the bracelet in her hand and handed it to Mingyu: "Okay, if you can tell me, I'll give you this bracelet back."
