Chapter 22 Masquerade Ball

As it turns out, no matter how the gemstone is laid, it's a bit crummy.

There are no clues in Prince Clarence's lounge except gems, which are diamonds.

Jane quietly opened the door and walked out lightly, but Ning Zhi hadn't come out yet.

And through the door of the lounge corridor, a man and a woman can be seen walking in this direction, arm in arm, talking intimately while walking. The woman is wearing a snow-white gauze skirt that reaches the floor, looking dignified, but the man is It’s a bit hard to describe, a ruby ​​earring hangs on his right ear, a large oval sapphire is inlaid on the bow tie around his neck, a male lion carved from purple gems is on the brooch in front of him, and there are different colors on his fingers His gemstone ring, and even the side of his shoes were inlaid with sparkling diamonds. Under the light, his whole body was shaking so that people couldn't open their eyes.

It's really hard for his girlfriend to talk to him so calmly.

Jane recognized it at a glance, this is the Prince Clarence whom he used as an excuse.

The whole person has the same enigmatic aesthetic as his room.

"Prince Abbott?" Prince Clarence had already seen Jian Qiao. At this time, Jian Qiao was standing in front of the door of the lounge corridor. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just curious about what gift you will prepare, and I want to have a look." He shook the delicate suitcase in his hand, "Duke Barron told me that your gift will win the top prize."

"However—" Jane revealed a knowing smile, "It may not be convenient for you now, why don't I wait for you in your lounge first?"

"It doesn't matter." Clarence looked at the female companion beside him. His face was blocked by a mask, but he could still hear the smile in the voice. He asked his female companion: "Miss Marceau, you Are you interested in my gift to the Queen?"

His female companion waved her hand: "Everyone knows that the gifts prepared by Prince Clarence are always the most suitable for women. I am looking forward to the part of the prince's gift. It is better to be mysterious."

"I'll fix my makeup first, and then I'll come to you."

When his female companion walked up to Jian Qiao, Jane stepped aside and opened the door for her in a gentlemanly manner, her voice raised slightly: "Miss Marceau is still as glamorous as ever."

"Thank you." Marceau nodded to him and walked to the last lounge on the left.

"Let's go." Clarence patted him on the shoulder, "Trust me, my gift will never let you down."

Jane quietly returned to the blinding lounge again.

The large emerald on the sofa made him feel uncomfortable.

"Your gift is in the style I like, but it's not what the queen likes." Jian Qiao had already opened her small suitcase, revealing the nightingale inside which was studded with diamonds, rubies and sapphires.Clarence looked appreciative, "She prefers living creatures."

"Why don't you... have a look at my gift?" He turned the face of the huge amethyst ring on the middle finger of his right hand clockwise three times, a small vortex appeared in the air, and there were dots of light in the vortex. , a little gray bird flew out of it and landed on the ruby ​​coffee table.

It's a nightingale.

Smart eyes, fluffy feathers, only half the size of a palm.

It was Nightingale who tilted her head and said, "Prince Clarence, is it time to present a gift to the queen?"

"Of course not, my little Nightingale." Clarence took out a cushion with four corners studded with diamonds from the corner of the sofa, and let Nightingale stand on it, "Prince Abbott is very curious about your singing voice, he Hope to hear your singing, of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.”

"Yes." Nightingale uttered a clear cry, "But Prince Abbott, I can only sing a short paragraph for you, I have to save enough energy to sing at the ceremony, this is what I agreed with Prince Clarence , I am so sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Jane said quietly, "It's a great honor to hear your singing."

Nightingale cleared her throat, and her beautiful voice gradually echoed in the lounge.This sound is better than any music, it seems to have the characteristics of any musical instrument, but it blends them together skillfully, like love blooming under the moonlight, hazy and sweet.

A short period of time passed quickly, but Jane and Prince Clarence were still immersed in its beautiful singing.

"No matter how many times I listen to it, I will be shocked by its singing." Clarence praised, "It's really the best sound I've ever heard."

"Indeed." Jane responded to him quietly, and he never thought that a bird could have such a beautiful singing voice, "I don't think any woman would refuse this gift."

The nightingale finished singing: "Okay, I'll just sing this part for the time being, and you can call me out when the queen presents the gift!"

"Thank you very much for your performance." Clarence thanked it with a smile, and turned the sapphire ring anticlockwise three times, "Please go back and rest, I believe you can bring everyone a huge surprise tonight. "

Nightingale flapped her little wings and disappeared into the whirlpool.

"As expected of you." Jane praised him quietly, "I have satisfied my curiosity, now I should find my female companion."

"It's not a gentleman's behavior to ask a lady to wait for him."

"I know." There was a helpless smile on Jian Qiao's face, "So you have to let me go, I need time to apologize to my female partner."

"Hope you weren't alone in the gift," Clarence quipped.

"Accept your good words." Jian quietly nodded to him, "Goodbye."

After leaving Prince Clarence's lounge, Jane quietly saw Ning Zhi standing in front of Princess Greenville's lounge waiting for him, he walked up quickly, Ning Zhi pulled him into the room, and locked the door behind her back .

"Princess Greenville is my identity in the additional question." Ning Zhi cut to the point, "I have two clues here. One is a gift from Princess Greenville to Queen Cinderella. The other is two different plants. rose."

She took out an exquisite velvet gift box that was only the size of a palm. Inside was a star sapphire necklace. Under the light, six star lines intersected in the center of the sapphire. As the light turned, the star lines also moved flexibly.

"The two roses are in the lounge of "Marquis Daniela". There is a vase on the coffee table, one of which is carved from diamonds, and the other is withered and has begun to rot."

"Rose symbolizes love. Diamond roses will not wither, but real roses will." Jane quietly recited the long passage he saw in his notebook, "Are these two roses implying that 'love is beautiful? Yes, but does it have a 'best before' phrase?"

"Also—" Jane quietly opened the suitcase in her hand, "Seeing this, can you think of a story?"

"The King and the Nightingale."

The two spoke in unison.

The king wanted to hear the nightingale's singing, so he sent someone to find the nightingale. The nightingale was brought into the palace and was favored by the king. But soon after, someone gave the king an artificial and luxurious nightingale. He could also sing beautifully, so the real nightingale flew back to nature, but when the king was about to be taken away by death, the appearance of the real nightingale saved his life.

"Real nightingales, artificial nightingales...withered roses, diamond roses..." Jane read slowly, "real nightingales, fake nightingales...real roses, fake roses...true...false..."

"True or not?" Ning Zhi was thoughtful, "The nightingale is a gift for Queen Cinderella."

"And on the stone sculpture outside Cinderella's museum, the signature is Rhodopis."

"Cinderella likes living creatures, Rhodopis hasn't appeared yet."

Jian quietly followed Ning Zhi's words: "The love represented by real roses has withered, but the love represented by fake roses will bloom forever."

"The sapphire necklace is like Cinderella's eyes, but she doesn't like gems."

"Rhodopis was the first maiden who served as the prototype of Cinderella."

"If it is called Nightingale, then of the two of them, who is the real Nightingale and who is the fake Nightingale?"
