12. I saw but did not know

After watching the crowd of the crown princess go back to her parents' house to save her relatives, Yue Ruyin stepped forward and said to the doorman guarding the door: "I have something important to report to the prime minister, and I also ask the little brother to go in and report it." The doorman saw that the boy in front of him was a little similar to the young lady of her family, although he was a little puzzled, he still said truthfully: "This son, you should come back to visit another day." The Prime Minister said that today is the day when the crown princess returns to her parents' home to save her relatives, and she is not seen. ”

"But I'm really in a hurry, you give this jade pendant to the prime minister, and he will naturally meet me." Saying that before Yue Ruyin was about to get married, the jade pendant that his mother gave him took out and handed it to the doorman.

The doorman saw that although this jade pendant was only half a piece, the color was excellent, and the workmanship was also very exquisite, and it would definitely be sold for a good price. took the jade pendant and said, "Okay, you wait here for a while."

Time passed bit by bit, Yue Ruyin stood for a long time, and her face was a little pale. The sky is getting dark, the prime minister's mansion is brightly lit, and there are constantly singing, thinking that it is a celebration. Is it that my father didn't recognize the jade pendant when he saw it? Or did the doorman not arrive? No matter what the reason was, Yue Ruyin's heart became cold with the night, and when she insisted on the last moment, she couldn't hold back anymore, and turned around with tears in her eyes.

In the house, Mu Xue was afraid that her identity would be recognized, so she returned to the room halfway through the song and dance on the grounds that she was unwell. On the way, the maid Xiaomei said to her, "Miss, you are so strange today."

Mu Xue was shocked, and said tentatively: "What's strange?"

"It's just that for Xiangye and Mrs., it's not the same as usual, and I can't tell what the difference is." Xiaomei said.

After all, they are not biological parents, and they may be a little estranged. In this regard, Mu Xue explained: "Now that it is *, it can't be like before."

"Oh." Xiaomei looked suddenly enlightened. Mu Xue chuckled, this kid is so easy to deceive.

The doorman thought that it was getting late at night, and the man outside the door should leave, and wanted to take the jade pendant to the pawnshop. I met Mu Xue halfway, and said with a little emptiness: "See the crown princess."

Mu Xue said "um", looking at the doorman as if he was holding something tightly in his hand, his expression was dodgy, and the moon was dark and the wind was high as if he was a thief. Then he said, "What are you holding in your hand?"

The doorman was startled, his heart jumped, and he said, "Yes, it's a small one, a family heirloom."

"Oh? Since it is a family heirloom, why do you have to be so sneaky? It can't be something from the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? Mu Xue asked casually, and saw the doorman's legs trembling, there must be something wrong with this person.

"Da Lin, you won't do anything to steal, will you? The prime minister hates such villains the most, you ......" Xiaomei's words frightened the doorman directly to his knees and said: "The crown princess and the princess spare her life, she is a little ghost." But the little one didn't steal the things of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This half of the jade pendant was given by the son who came to visit the prime minister today, and the little one saw that this was in good condition, and he had never seen this person in the mansion before. I want to sell it for a pot of wine. ”

Mu Xue took the jade pendant and looked at it through the bright moonlight, feeling very familiar. Isn't this the other half of his own jade pendant? Before going down the mountain, her mother had told her to bring back this jade pendant, thinking of this, Mu Xue immediately asked, "Where is this person now?"

"The little one asked him to wait outside the house, presumably he was gone at this moment." The doorman replied.

Mu Xue ran out and didn't see the doorman's so-called son. Since he came to find the prime minister, he will definitely come again. He turned to the doorman who followed and said, "Give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, if you see this son again, you will definitely keep him and report it to me."

"Little obedience, thank you Crown Princess." The doorman was grateful.

After returning to the room, Mu Xue lay on the bed tiredly. I have fantasized countless times about the life of chivalry in the rivers and lakes, but I don't want to wear a hypocritical mask to live someone else's life as soon as I come out. When is this day coming?
