Xiahou Yi's arrival can be said to be very surprising, and it is even more surprising to hear that he is here to give a birthday gift.

Although the men and women who have been engaged have to send things to the door every Boxing ceremony, showing the meaning of friendship between the two families, but Xiahou Yi is different from others, after all, Emperor Kangtai only gave the marriage today, and he was in a hurry to prepare gifts, so why do you have to have dinner time, who will go out to visit relatives when it is dinner?

But Xiahou Yi came over not long after lunch, and the prince stared at Xiahou Yi for a long time, and finally said incomprehensibly: "Isn't your gift list already ready?" ”

The prince's tone is not good, this man has been beating Yuan Jia's idea, knowing that it is one thing to really face it!

Xiahou Yi calmly replied: "My mother had a loyal servant in the early years, and now she is still in my family, and he has already prepared a gift for me to give to the future Yue family!" Today I only prepared Yuanjia's birthday gift. The rest is prepared by the housekeeper. ”

Everyone didn't have many doubts after listening to Xiahou Yi's words, and the uncles of the Tu family saw that he attached so much importance to Lan Qiduo, and they spoke much better.

"Since you're here, sit down!"

Lan Qiduo must have known the preferences of several uncles, and invited them to the Treasure Pavilion, where there are all kinds of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, many of which are unique products, and several ministers who went with him also secretly smacked their tongues, only knowing that Princess Yuanjia was favored by His Majesty, and only after seeing it did they know how much His Majesty favored, and what they saw now was only a part, so thinking about Xiahou Yi's eyes, it became "Your kid has married a mountain of gold and silver." ”

Lan Qiduo's birthday banquet was noisy until four o'clock in the afternoon (six o'clock in the afternoon), during which everyone not only saw the birthday gift sent by Xiahou Yi with furs, food, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, but also the things that Emperor Kangtai rewarded from the palace.

In the afternoon, everyone felt dazzled just by listening to the rewards in the harem, and they felt fresh at first, but they were numb after a while, but even if they were numb to listening, they couldn't stop the sour smell of the princesses who participated in the birthday banquet. Even the seventh princess's face was a little unbearable, and the eighth princess said sourly: "Now I finally see what pampering is!" In such a comparison, we are almost like the ones we picked up on the road! ”

"Eighth sister, be cautious!"

The fifth princess is naturally not happy in her heart, but no matter how unhappy she is, she is also the sister of these people, the eldest princess is not here, she naturally has the demeanor of the eldest sister, but sitting there, she always feels that everyone looks at them wrongly, and when she finally survives to the end, she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it will be okay in the future or don't come to Xiao Jiu.

When I went out, I happened to meet the prince and Xiahou Yi and his party also came out, and several princesses were much more comfortable in their hearts, no matter how you are favored on weekdays, you don't want to marry such a man, look at his unsmiling appearance, you know that he is not a good person to get along with, and that appearance, I am afraid that in this capital I am not even a decent person, I heard that it is still a father and mother, maybe a wife!

Xiahou Yi originally wanted to say a few words to Lan Qiduo, but the prince stood there and didn't leave anyway, and finally waited until the guests left, Xiahou Yi had no choice but to look at Lan Qiduo, took out a palm-sized round box in front of the prince, handed it to Lan Qiduo, and said in a very small voice as much as possible: "This is something that our family passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law, originally the chair was kept by my mother, and then my mother died, and my father gave this thing to the old housekeeper of my family." ”

Xiahou Yi indirectly explained the origin of this thing, Lan Qiduo subconsciously looked at the prince, although the prince didn't like it in his heart, he still asked Lan Qiduo to accept it, he himself felt that the person who died young had been unlucky, but that person was Xiahou Yi's mother, comforting himself that it was Xiahou Yi's mother, and he would never harm his daughter-in-law, besides, Yuanjia had royal blood, which was blessed by his father!

"Ahem", the prince saw that the young man and woman standing over there did not speak, coughed twice and said: "It's not early, you are busy and tired for a day, eat something and rest quickly." ”

Because the prince didn't want Xiahou Yi to stay with his own sister-in-law more, even explaining Lan Qiduo's words was much easier than usual! Xiahou Yi was helpless, and followed the prince out step by step.

Mama Yun couldn't close her mouth for a long time when she knew the news, and at this time, seeing Xiahou Yi doing this to Lan Qiduo, as well as his pitiful little eyes looking at the box, Mama Yun said understandingly: "Lord Xiahou Yi, don't worry, Your Highness will see what you sent." ”

Xiahou Yi also recently learned that the key he gave before, Lan Qiduo only remembered to open it after several years, or remembered it by chance, how could he not be worried? What if this is left without looking at it?

Lan Qiduo quietly sent the prince and Xiahou Yi away, her face was very normal, Xiahou Yi couldn't make up her mind what she thought at this moment, but thinking that Mama Yun had said that Yuan Jia had not objected just now, he was a little more relieved.

The prince deliberately walked in front of him, in fact, it was to give the unmarried couple a little time to get along, Xiahou Yi turned back step by step, and somehow reminded him of the situation when he wanted to marry the crown princess, the Du family originally did not have the idea of marrying their daughter to the prince, it was he who cheekily asked to marry, it can be imagined! At this time, I deeply sympathize, but I am not so unhappy with Xiahou Yi!

"Don't worry, since we will be husband and wife in the future, I will naturally treat you well!"

Xiahou Yi felt that these words were a little awkward, but he still looked at Lan Qiduo with a pair of eyes that suddenly lit up, this sentence was tantamount to a reassuring pill! He didn't see the snickering princess at all, and Ding Sheng almost tripped up, he just covered his face and didn't want to look at his master's stupid face! Her Royal Highness the Princess's words are obviously a joke!

After sending away the consistent person, Lan Qiduo did feel tired, first soaked in a comfortable bath for half an hour, the whole person was soaked soft and lazy, and then got up and asked Xiao Tuping to give her hair, Mama Yun brought a bowl of bird's nest and let Lan Qiduo drink it, while saying: "The box sent by General Xiahou today, do you want Your Highness to take a look?" ”

Mama Yun's whole person was full of joy, and when she talked to Lan Qiduo, she also had hope in her eyes, under such a gaze, what could Lan Qiduo say? In fact, she will also look at it herself, this thing is different from what Xiahou Yi sent a few years ago, at that time Xiahou Yi was only a minister, but at this time it was the identity of her fiancé, this difference Lan Qiduo still knows in her heart, she will naturally see what the so-called Xiahou family heirloom is.

Mama Yun looked at the box carefully and said: "I don't know what is inside, this box alone will be filled with small leaf red sandalwood, small leaf red sandalwood things, such a palm-sized box, it will cost ten taels of silver outside." ”

"Some things need this kind of expensive box, but the value of the thing itself may not be as good as this box." Lan Qiduo didn't care, just take the Tianshan Snow Lotus a few years ago, the reason why the fresh Tianshan Snow Lotus is precious is because of the thing itself, but if you look at it separately, the decorative jade box itself is also extraordinary, but after they are put together, it is even more difficult to find.

She opened the box disapprovingly, just glanced at it casually but was stunned, there was a hairpin in the box that could not see the material, because the hairpin was carved into a small attic, the small attic seemed to be a nuclear carving, a little size, but every bit of it will appear! If it's hairpins, the goal shouldn't be too obvious.

Lan Qiduo involuntarily picked up the hairpin, looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what the material was, and sighed casually: "I don't want Xiahou's family to have such a thing." Can you see what it is? ”

Mama Yun was by Lan Qiduo's side, and she was well-informed with the queen and didn't understand: "It is said to be jadeite, but the jade is not so transparent, like black crystal but not black crystal, forgive the old slave for being clumsy, I really can't see what it is." ”

"If you can't see it, you can't see it, they have something like a family heirloom of the Xiahou family, if it's too ordinary, they can't take it, right?"

Lan Qiduo didn't care about the hairpin of this anti-ancient attic, he only felt that this thing had a cool feeling in his hand, and it was still very comfortable to touch in this late summer and early autumn season.

Lan Qiduo just felt that the texture of this hairpin was comfortable, and after drinking the bird's nest, she chatted with Mama Yun while running her hair, and she didn't know where she touched it, the hairpin suddenly "clicked", and Lan Qiduo looked for prestige but her eyes widened!

Mama Yun also looked at Lan Qiduo's hand, and found that the hairpin had turned into an ordinary plum blossom-shaped hairpin.

Mama Yun took the hairpin and looked at it repeatedly, frowning: "This hairpin is unusual, and I don't know what it is made of." ”

Lan Qiduo was curious about where she pressed the mechanism, and the hairpin became like this! Thinking that when I saw Xiahou Yi that day, I must ask. It's a pity that Sailuban isn't here now, otherwise, he would have known about it as well as he was so familiar with mechanical things.

"The old slave remembered a person I had heard of before," Mama Yun said hesitantly.

And all the people looked at her.

"In the palace of the previous dynasty, there was a skilled craftsman who specialized in making jewelry for concubines, it is said that he is very powerful, and he can change three kinds of tricks with a step, and some palace people who have no money but have to decorate the façade like to find him to make such things, but because things are rare, he can't make a few pieces a year, but it seems that things are more precious, and the old slave has never talked about it, at this time it's just random speculation!"

Lan Qiduo saw that everyone was curious, so she simply gave the hairpin to a few maidservants to take a closer look, but Mama Yun said, "This is good for General Xiahou!" How can Your Highness not cherish it like this? A few of you girls want to see it, and then I will talk about my mother-in-law's house! ”

The handmaidens who said it were all blushing!

Lan Qiduo was born today, and everyone was tired for a day, and it was almost four o'clock, so she asked several big girls to rest, but just when she lay down, she heard a piano sound, and it was a lyre. Lan Qiduo didn't care at first, because of her birthday, I don't know who sent a song, or maybe it was the group of singers she raised, she didn't care, but the more she listened to it, the more wrong it became.

Xiao Tuxi, who was on duty at night, also woke up, she walked to Lan Qiduo's bedside and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go out and let people stop playing?" ”

Just when Xiao Tuxi thought that Lan Qiduo was extremely tired and fell asleep, he heard Lan Qiduo say, "No need! ”

"The slave also thinks it's useless, the song is weird and good, hehe."

Although Xiao Tuxi doesn't know any piano music, the least level of appreciation is cultivated with Lan Qiduo.

Lan Qiduo lay on the bed and listened to the music quietly, just now she already knew who was playing the piano! In her previous life, what she was best at was the lyre, but she almost forgot about it after too long in this life! That Feiquanqin was also given to Xiao Mubai by her in her previous life, but she never thought that it would still be in Xiao Mubai's hands in this life.

Lan Qiduo's princess mansion was next to the back wall, where the moonlight could not shine, the sound of the piano came from here, and Xiao Mubai sat on the ground in a simple white wide-sleeved long robe.

There was a piano on his lap, and at this time, Xiao Mubai was forgetting and numbly playing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" that Lan Qiduo liked to listen to.

In his previous life, even if Lan Qiduo liked to listen to this song the most, but because of his reluctance, this song was played once in the first year of marriage, and he never played it for Lan Qiduo again for nearly ten years after that.

He originally planned to play another song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for her on Yuan Jia's birthday, he hoped that Yuan Jia could be as happy with him as he was in his previous life, but he never thought that His Majesty would personally marry General Xiahou and Yuan Jia! In fact, he should have noticed it early on, General Xiahou was happy with Yuanjia, but he still had some unrealistic illusions, if Yuanjia didn't like General Xiahou, because Yuanjia was not a person who would make him wronged, if he didn't like a person, he would definitely not agree to this family business, but most of the days have passed, and there is no wind at all, Xiao Mubai's heart is also like falling into an ice cave, he knows that Yuanjia is also very satisfied with this family business.

Originally, this piece was given to Yuan Jia to make Yuan Jia happy with him, but at this time, Xiao Mubai regarded this song as a song for him to say goodbye to Yuan Jia.

Lan Qiduo's favorite part is that Xiao Mubai played to "Feng Xi Feng Xi returns to his hometown, travels all over the world to seek his phoenix, there is a beautiful girl in this hall, and the room poisons my intestines, why is it handed over to a mandarin duck." She felt that this part was very much like herself, and she dared to reason with Emperor Kangtai for Xiao Mubai, even if she trampled the face of the royal family under her feet, she would marry him!

When Xiao Mubai played here, he only felt that his heart was like a knife, the sound of the piano was still the same, but the beauty was no longer the beauty she used to be, I remember that at that time, Yuan Jia swore and said: "Although Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun in "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" are a tragedy, but this palace will definitely not live like Zhuo Wenjun! This palace wants to grow old with you! ”

It was he who lived up to Yuanjia's affection, it was he who personally lost the woman who once loved him the most in the world, and when the last strings were plucked, Xiao Mubai knew that Princess Yuanjia would never have anything to do with him from now on! (To be continued.) )
