Twilight GL

Following the words of Princess Xinguo, the box was put on a few times, and the golden hairpin in the box seemed to be eclipsed suddenly.

Concubine Jin was also surprised, but she reacted quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she restrained her surprise, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, take a closer look, this is the hairpin that the lady of the Zheng family once used."

Mingsu reached out, picked up the hairpin from the box, glanced at it casually, and threw it back into the box.She couldn't tell whether she believed it, or didn't believe it, or simply hated the golden hairpin and didn't want to touch it more.

Concubine Jin came to see her today because she made up her mind to marry the princess, but if the princess thinks that the golden hairpin is not from the Zheng family and that she is playing tricks on the princess, she may not be able to get married, and will instead develop a grudge.

"Your Highness." Jin Cong said hastily, "This hairpin was pawned in a pawnshop four days ago. The hairpin was old and worthless, but the steward of the pawnshop has a pair of discerning eyes and saw the white jade embedded on it. It was not extraordinary, so I reported it to the owner's house. The owner of the pawnshop happened to be on good terms with the elder brother of the concubine, and after getting the hairpin, he gave the hairpin to the elder brother of the concubine as a gift."

Ming Su picked up the teacup, the tea in the teacup was cold, she took a sip, already impatient.

Zheng Mi sighed secretly, her temper became worse and her patience became worse.She was always used to taking care of Mingsu, so she said: "I gave it to your brother as a gift, and then what will happen, Concubine Jin, you choose what matters."

When she reminded her, Concubine Jin felt that what she had said was too fragmentary, so she quickly picked out the important ones and said, "This hairpin has the name of the Zheng family on it, and my elder brother asked the old servant of the Zheng family to confirm that it is indeed Zheng." At the same time, he found the person who pawned it. That person was a scholar who entered the capital, and he used up all his money within three days after entering Beijing, so he had to pawn the objects to pay for it. According to him, this hairpin is He got it from a gambler in Rong City half a month ago..."

When she spoke up to this point with solid grounds, Mingsu's expression remained undiminished.

Concubine Jin couldn't help being anxious, her voice was unavoidable, and she spoke much faster, telling the gambler's name and where he lived.

That's all, Fang said: "The elder brother of the concubine admires His Highness very much. He has always wanted to be effective, but he has no way to meet His Highness and tell his loyalty. It is a fluke that he got this hairpin. He is overjoyed. Immediately, it took a lot of effort to send it to the palace, and the ministers and concubines presented it on their behalf. Elder brother would never dare to deceive His Highness."

Mingsu put down the teacup slowly, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.

Concubine Jin was even more worried, she was afraid that this remark was self-defeating, not only failed to show goodwill to His Highness, but also offended her.

Even Zheng Mi couldn't see what Mingsu was thinking.

For a while, the whole hall was silent, Concubine Jin stared at Ming Su eagerly, Zheng Mi lowered her head and fiddled with the teacup, also waiting for Ming Su to speak.

After a while, Ming Su Fang casually tapped his fingers, and said: "There will be a banquet tomorrow in the Gufu, let your brother come over."

Concubine Jin was overjoyed, she almost forgot her identity and knelt down to Mingsu, and said repeatedly: "Thank you Your Highness, brother will arrive at the mansion early tomorrow to greet Your Highness." After finishing speaking, she glanced at the queen, stood up again and said, "Concubine There will be no further delay, the empress and His Highness will sit down for a while, and the concubine will leave first."

After saying that, he saluted, supported the maid's hand and backed away.

When they come, they are uninvited guests, and when they go, they are rushed.

Zheng Mi thought, this concubine Jin is quite impatient.

As soon as Concubine Jin left, Ming Su also stood up, holding the box in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to hear what you heard outside the door, please send someone to pass a message to Zhenguan Hall."

Zhenguan Hall is the palace where she lived since she was a child, not far from Renming Hall. Now she has a mansion outside the palace, but Zhenguan Hall is still the same, and occasionally she will live in the hall for a few days.

Zheng Mi nodded, and Ming Su was talking about forming an alliance with her.

"The minister there will take his leave first." Mingsu raised his sleeves.

Zheng Mi said, "Princess, let's go."

Mingsu left.

When she walked to the door of the palace, Zheng Mi suddenly remembered what Yun Sang told her, that Mingsu hated the Zheng family the most, especially her, and even couldn't see her belongings, and put them all away in the lake for destruction. never existed in this world.

In a hurry, she stood up, took two steps hastily, and raised her voice, "What does Your Highness plan to do with this hairpin?"

After all, he regretted it and asked rashly, which seemed troublesome.

Ming Su had already stopped outside the palace gate, she did not turn around, turned her back to Zheng Mi, looked up at the sky, Fang said flatly: "It will be destroyed."

After finishing speaking, he stopped staying and walked away.Xuan Guo, who had been serving closely in the palace, bowed to the queen and followed.

As soon as they left, the hall was empty.

Zheng Mi looked at the door and didn't move for a long time.

Yun Sang sensed that something was wrong, but he really didn't know what was wrong. After a long while, Fang whispered: "The maidservant once mentioned the matter of Mrs. Zheng to the empress, but the empress forgot? Why did you touch the taboo of the princess?"

Zheng Mi shook her head, but did not speak.

She walked out of the gate of the hall. There were weeds and vines in front of the hall, and even a few vines climbed up the steps. The sun was already half-set, and the orange light shone down. It didn't look warm, but rather desolate.

"I'm just..." Zheng Mi stood on the steps, looked at the weeds all over the place, and said softly, "I'm just a pity."

This hairpin was made by Ming Su himself, and it is her treasure.

Now, it will be destroyed by the person who controlled it.

Mingsu left the Kunyu Palace, and gradually accelerated his pace. When he reached a fork in the road, an aunt dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking court lady came and saluted Mingsu. If you don't arrive for a long time, tell your maidservant to come and have a look."

"To, to where?" Ming Su asked blankly, after finishing speaking, she remembered that she ordered someone to pass a message earlier, and promised to go to accompany Concubine Shu for dinner.

"Please ask Aunt Chunran to plead guilty to my mother and concubine on my behalf, and say that I have something to do and I can't go."

Chun Ran is an old man in front of Concubine Shu. Having grown up watching Ming Su, seeing her so distraught, she couldn't help caring, and asked, "Your Highness is in such a hurry, what happened?"

Mingsu pursed his lips tightly, as if he had woken up from a daze, and his tone became more sober: "Gu Gu told Mother Concubine that I got a hairpin." After finishing speaking, he added, "Mother Concubine understands."

When she said that, Chun Ran couldn't stop her anymore, and let her go out of the palace.

The car of the Princess Mansion was parked outside the gate of the palace, Ming Su boarded the car and drove back to the mansion.

In the middle of the journey, she opened the curtains and asked Xuan to come into the car.

Xuan Guo knelt in the car, waiting for her order.

The box containing the golden hairpin was placed by Mingsu's hand, she didn't even look at it, and said: "You can hear what Concubine Jin said."

"Little one heard clearly."

Mingsu closed his eyes and said, "You take someone with you, go there in person, and follow this line to investigate."

Xuan Guo leaned over and said: "Yes." After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, don't wait to ask Empress Jin's elder brother face to face before confirming?"

Mingsu shook his head: "This is her thing."

She was so sure, Xuan Guo didn't ask any more questions, and was about to leave when the princess stopped him and ordered: "She may not be willing to go back to Beijing with you, if you find her, just keep an eye on her, don't rush to show up, pass the letter first with me."

This is what the princess has to order every time.It's been five years, so many times, Xuan Guo's ears are numb from hearing it, but unfortunately the princess's hope has come to naught.

On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer old things dedicated to the princess.

Xuan went on.

When he opened the car door, he heard the princess muttering to himself behind him: "This time, I will definitely find it."

Xuan Guo sighed to himself, got out of the car, saw outside under the dark sky, common people coming and going in the market, suddenly felt the time flies, the world is boundless.

Every time His Highness gets the old things of that person, he will arrange to search along the source to try to find the whereabouts of that person, but all expectations are in vain. In the past two years, the number of people who donated old things has become less and less, and the clues have disappeared. It's broken, His Highness didn't say anything, he was anxious.

I only hope that this time, let him find that Miss Zheng, and save His Highness, and keep looking for it year after year.

The car continued on.

As soon as Xuan Guo left, Ming Su looked down at the box.Hatred appeared in her eyes, and after a while the hatred turned into indifference, she stroked the body of the box lightly with the palm of her hand, and then withdrew her hand, as if this was the greatest forgiveness.

When she arrived at the princess mansion, Mingsu stood up and was about to get out of the car. When she got to the door, she looked back at the box for several times. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up the box with an extremely condescending expression.But as soon as she got it in her hand, she held the box tightly, as if trying to embed it in her palm.

After returning to the mansion, a family order greeted her. When she saw the box in her hand, she reached out to take it, but was waved away by the princess.

The Princess Mansion is extremely deep and spacious, and in terms of land occupation, it is even larger than the mansions of the Third and Fifth Princes.

She went straight in and walked into an attic facing the water.

This attic was used as an inner study by her. It is cool in summer, but in winter, the door is closed and the stove is lit. It is not cold, but it is also very elegant to watch the snowy scenery on the lake.

She climbed up to the attic and stood against the railing.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, it was already dark and the building was lit with candles before she opened the box.The golden hairpin was still the same as when she saw it in the palace just now, she picked it up, slid her fingertips lightly over the hairpin, and found out the line of small characters on the hairpin.

She lowered her head indifferently, and the line of small characters came into her eyes, and it was written: "Congratulations to Ami's Seventeenth Birthday."

There was some warmth in her heart slowly, and the heart that had been frozen all these years seemed to be melting away.She seemed to see the appearance when she took the hairpin and presented it to Zheng Mi with her own hands.

"Look, do you like it?"

"like."

"Really like it? But the craftsmanship is a bit rough."

"I like rough too, as long as it is a gift from you, I like it." The man smiled, and said, "Not to mention it's not rough, it's really well done."

"Then I'll make it for you later!"

The corners of Mingsu's lips curled up bit by bit, and then lowered down bit by bit, his gaze also turned cold.

Memories are good, but not warm now.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Mingsu turned around and saw that it was the family order.

He was ordered to retreat just now at the gate of the mansion, why did he follow again?

"Your Highness." The family order bowed his hands and saluted, and then under Mingsu's impatient gaze, he said seriously: "We will have a banquet tomorrow, and all the posts have been released. This is the sitting time, Your Highness, please have a look."

With that said, present a booklet.

Mingsu took it, glanced at it, and said, "Yes."

Jialing took it, and when he saw the hairpin in her hand, he talked a lot: "This hairpin is unique, it's a pity... why is it half-old?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he himself understood that the half-old thing held in the hands of His Highness must belong to that Miss Zheng.He added another sentence: "Your Highness, do you think about people when you see things?"

"Seeing things and thinking about people?" Mingsu seemed to have been poked by something, and suddenly his face sank, and he threw the hairpin into the lake with his hands.

There was a splash, and the sound of falling into the water came. Mingsu stared blankly at the lake, looking at the circles of ripples on the lake, as if his heart had been hollowed out, but he kept his mouth hard, and said with a sneer: "She deserves it too." ?”

Jialing secretly sighed, raised his sleeves and bowed silently, and then retreated.Backing to the door, he couldn't help turning his head, and saw that the princess was still looking at the lake. The ripples on the lake had calmed down, but she still couldn't get back to her senses.

Jia Ling withdrew his gaze, left the attic with his hands folded, and thought about it secretly.

This hairpin had to be fished out overnight, otherwise it would be delayed until tomorrow, and it would be soaked in the water. The princess would not say it clearly, but she would definitely look for something wrong here and there, causing the whole house to be unsettled.

I just took a quick look and vaguely saw that the hairpin seemed to be inlaid with jade. I hope that the golden hairpin will remain firm in the years to come, so don't lose it.

And tomorrow, when I return the hairpin to the princess, I have to find a reason. What reason should I use? The last time it was "this thing is expensive, so it's better to keep it for home use", and the last time it was "the fish is ignorant, If it is eaten by mistake, its life may be harmed", and the last time...

There are so many family orders that I can't remember how many times.At the beginning, he would seriously think of a reasonable reason, but as the number of times increased, he used all kinds of excuses, and the subsequent excuses became all kinds of strange and absurd.

But no matter what he said, as long as His Highness doesn't mention that he is reluctant, His Highness will accept it, as if she just needs a step, no matter whether the step is good or bad, whether it is a smooth and luxurious jade step, or a smoky stone step, she will accept it. will go.

I don't know what happened back then that made His Highness so sincerely loathed, but also kept hanging on to the past, looking for it year after year, hating it year after year, and reluctant to let it go year after year. Every day and every night, I look forward to the return of the departed.

Jia Ling thought about it quickly, and when he came out of the attic, he came up with the idea, this time he said that "foreign objects are in the water, affecting the growth of aquatic plants".

Alas, the salary is not easy to eat, the family order of the princess mansion is really embarrassing.
