Chapter 168 Embroidered scarf with golden hairpin

Back at the Prince's Mansion, as soon as Xiao Gong entered the room, he couldn't wait to open the festival gift box given by Prime Minister Luo Cheng. The round box, with peanut-shaped gold and silver bills neatly stacked in the box. dense, and in the middle, there is a long strip of red cloth wrapped in it. Xiao Gong expected that this was the unique thing that Prime Minister Luo Cheng gave her, and opened it curiously. It turned out to be a simple but chic golden butterfly hairpin.

"This thing, I guess it's some kind of heirloom. It doesn't look like it's new, but it's a unique taste. It can't be any lady who wore it. However, he probably won't give me the hair that other ladies have worn. This hairpin should be the biological mother of Xiaogong. But for the sake of insurance, let's take a look at what Xiaolan has first.

Re-wrap the hairpin separately and put it in the closet. Cover the box and put it in the suitcase next to it, and Xiao Gong left to find Xiao Lan. Now they have just time to rest in their rooms. The crown princess and the prince were resting, and they said that they would postpone dinner. Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan have such free time as they are now.

Knocking on the door and entering Xiao Lan's room, Xiao Gong saw at a glance the Boxing Gift Box that had also been opened on her side. The contents are clear at a glance, exactly the same as hers, except that the red cloth bag in the middle is missing. Seeing this, Xiao Gong pretended to smile casually: "You have already opened it, and the things we got are about the same." You've been around longer than me, so are there any good things you've hidden?"

"Why, I just opened it. No, there's nothing you can see. In fact, these are the things that are celebrated every year. The lord has always liked to play by the rules. There won't be anything more or less, since you are also married into the prince's mansion like me, of course you will get the same things as me. Xiao Lan said anxiously. She really thought that Xiao Gong had misunderstood.

"I see. This isn't the first time I've received a Boxing gift. I didn't expect the master to be so generous, even my share is prepared like you. Why do I feel sorry for you? Xiao Gong pulled Xiao Lan and said a little apologetically.

"Since you feel sorry for me, then you can repay me more. Xiao Lan didn't care very much.

"Don't worry, next time I prepare something for Miss, I will definitely keep your share. Xiao Gong patted his chest and reassured. It can be regarded as her compensation for the temptation of Xiaolan.

"Words count!" Xiao Lan said with her little finger outstretched.

"A gentleman's word, a horse is hard to chase!" Xiao Gong hooked Xiao Lan's little finger and smiled.

Saying goodbye to Xiaolan, Xiaogong still has time. So before the crown princess was summoned. She went back to her room and continued to embroider her handkerchief. Before she embroidered, she didn't imagine it, but she started to embroider. She became interested, and she had to have a result before she could get by. In particular, she has always been fond of traditional handicrafts. That sachet last time. She's also because she hasn't seen it. I also saw that the embroiderer especially wanted to study.

Now that she is interested, she has learned the method, and this action is naturally fast. Taking advantage of this short time, she embroidered another petal. However, who asked her to choose hydrangeas, this kind of flower, the flowers are not ordinary.

After serving dinner, the crown prince and the crown princess seemed tired. Resting early, Xiao Gong wanted to ask about Jin Hai, but he could only postpone it for the time being. Back to the room. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not particularly dark, I embroidered for a while. It wasn't until she embroidered a flower that she felt she couldn't continue, so she stopped. Sleep until dawn.

The next day was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the crown prince and the princess still had an itinerary to go out. Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan naturally followed, and Xiao Gong only came back in the evening to have time to embroider a flower or two. On the fifth day of the first month, a little more relaxed, the prince and the princess were in the house, and Xiaogong took the opportunity to find the princess and present the golden hairpin in the ceremony.

Luo Zijin looked at this golden hairpin, although he didn't recognize it, but he also knew that it was given to Xiaogong by his father, so he said: "Since your father rewarded you, then you can take it, but you also know that Xiaolan doesn't have this." She entered the house earlier than you, although you are more sensible than her, but you still have to rely on her for some things. My father gave you this golden hairpin, presumably to thank you for the 'wood encouragement' you taught me that day. You can keep it first, and then take it out and wear it when you have the chance. Now you're just going to wear it, and it doesn't fit you, does it?"

"What Miss said is very true, I will take it well. Xiao Gong nodded in agreement. She certainly wouldn't take it out and wear it right now. She came to ask Luo Zijin, but it was just to take a reassuring pill. But judging by her reaction, she shouldn't know the origin of this hairpin. Presumably, it is really as she guessed, it is Xiaogong's mother.

After saying this, Xiaogong is fine, but Luo Zijin still has something to ask her. Then he continued: "By the way, I heard that you have been embroidering a scarf recently. Why did you think of embroidering this? On weekdays, I don't see you interested in these female celebrities?"

"I'm embroidering for fun, and it's nothing. Xiao Lan really told Miss everything to you. Xiao Gong replied with a smile. She didn't think it was a big problem, but even she didn't know why she wanted to hide the fact that she was going to give it to Murong Shuo.

"I just asked casually, and you don't blame her. You ask her for advice, and you're always working in the room, and it's hard for people to know about it. Since it's for passing the time, it's up to you. Luo Zijin saw that Xiaogong said that it was okay, so he believed.

"Thank you, Miss, when I finish practicing, I'll give Miss a gadget to enjoy. Xiao Gong thanked.

"Wow, then I'm looking forward to it. Go back and practice more. Luo Zijin nodded and let go.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone. Xiao Gong left, obediently went back to the room and continued to work.

On the sixth and seventh days of the first lunar month, because of the prince's excuse for physical reasons, many banquets at the royal family's house were postponed. Originally, if the crown prince was inconvenient to attend due to physical reasons, he should be replaced by the crown princess. But the prince went to the table again, saying that he needed the princess to take care of him, so he left the princess in the prince's mansion together. He was afraid that the crown princess would be too tired. The prince has always disliked socializing, and he also knows that the crown princess doesn't like socializing.

The crown prince and the crown princess did not leave the house, and of course Xiaoluo and Xiaolan did not have to leave. As a result, Xiao Gong has more time to finish her scarf. In a few days, her speed increased several times, and by the evening of the eighth day of the new year, she was already halfway done. I believe that at this rate, it will be absolutely no problem to complete it before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Somehow, the matter of Xiao Gong embroidering a scarf so carefully reached Murong Shuo's ears. Originally, he expected that the small gong would not be able to embroider. Who knew that she was halfway done. Surprised and expectant, he went to the street on the ninth day of the new year, personally selected a pendant that was very popular with his eyes, and brought it back to the prince's mansion.
