Chapter 44 Bitter and cold, Xu Rong lost the hairpin
Since returning from the hunt, White Feather seems to have returned to his former normal, and he has begun to stay home at night. Every time Xu Rong asked, she was already busy with business. finally waited until the matter of the assassin was settled, but he didn't see Bai Yu being able to stay at home for a few more days, and every time he went home, he just said hello to himself and Bai Li. Then he quickly went to the study, and when it was late, he slept in the study.
Every time, he had to talk to himself, so he would stay in his room. But it was really just a sleep, and he got up and left before dawn, and he didn't even say a few words to himself.
Xu Rong, who was standing in front of the door of the study, raised and lowered her palm. Bai Yu generally doesn't let himself go in this study, and he always feels that there must be some secret hidden here, a secret that makes Bai Yu unrelenting all day long.
After hesitating back and forth in front of the door a few times, Xu Rong still stepped forward and pushed the door open. A simple sword stand, a quaint book grid, piles of books neatly arranged on the table, in front of a long-used incense burner. Everything is furnished, and there is nothing to pay special attention to.
After looking at these things, Xu Rong lowered her eyes in frustration, presumably she was thinking too much about all this. Sighing softly, he prepared to turn around and leave. His gaze swept over the smooth table, and his gaze froze.
How could there be a small box on that table?
Xu Rong, who was curious, slowly stepped forward and examined the box repeatedly, it was a long wooden box the size of a palm, and it didn't even have a pattern. Xu Rong raised her hand to pick it up, and her uncontrollable curiosity urged her to open the box, but what caught her eye was a hairpin carved in the shape of snowflakes.
Xu Rong's face was shocked, and she suddenly thought that she seemed to have seen an identical one on Chai Xuan's head, but the one that was only jade was a wood carving.
The hosta on Chai Xuan's head was meticulous because of her meticulous work, and when she first saw her, she stared at her a few more times. That delicate appearance is really unforgettable.
But how is the shape of this hairpin so similar to the hosta on Chai Xuan's head? Don't......
Xu Rongliu's eyes turned lightly to the slightly worn place on the hairpin, and at a glance it was a trace of long-term pinching. Presumably, Bai Yu will often take it out to take a look.
In an instant, Xu Rong's heart was like a knife, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe. With tears in his eyes, he looked fiercely at the hairpin in his hand. In addition to the indescribable grievances and sadness in my heart, there is also resentment welling up from the bottom of my heart.
For so many years, for Bai Yu, he has worked hard to raise children who are not his own and take care of the Bai family. I don't expect him to love himself as much as he loves him so much, as long as he can live in his eyes and be called Mrs. by him genuinely.
I thought that he would treat himself like the words he once said to himself, but in the end everything was just his simple expectations.
Staring at the hairpin in her hand, Xu Rong's tearful eyes were only filled with jealousy and resentment. He took the hairpin back into his arms and went away angrily, leaving only an empty wooden box to be reclosed and put back on the table.
Xu Rong, who slammed the door and left, only cared about the anger in her heart, but she didn't know that Ye'er, who was hiding behind the door, looked at everything. looked at Xu Rong, who left angrily, with trepidation, but still followed with courage.
When he walked to the corner of the street not far away, he saw Xu Rong give the hairpin in his hand to a tall and thin man without blinking. Without even saying a word, he turned around and left. Ye Er tightly hid herself in the dark, and Ye Er, who had avoided Xu Rong, came out to look for the man, but the person had long since disappeared.
Ye Er was very puzzled in her heart, why a hairpin would make Xu Rong so angry, and even did not hesitate to throw away good objects. But no matter what, that thing was taken out of Bai Yu's room, and it shouldn't be thrown away without permission.
On the street where the crowd came and looked, Ye Er scratched her head and circled a few times, but she didn't find anyone, so she was a little disappointed and went back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xinran and Lixiang walking towards him with a somewhat wrong expression.
Ye Er frowned, staring at the neatly dressed appearance of the two, a little strange, "Sister Xinran, sister-in-law Jin, so where are you going?" ”
In the face of Ye Er's question, Xin Ran's face was even worse. Tong Lixiang and the two looked at each other, and both shook their heads with some displeasure.
"Ye'er, we have to go to the palace." Xin Ran's face tightened slightly.
As soon as she heard that Xin Ran was going to enter the palace, Ye Er couldn't help but be a little excited. But looking at the two slightly gloomy faces in front of him, the momentum was suppressed. "Sister Xinran, aren't you happy to go to see Sister Chai Xuan?"
Looking at Ye Er's strange expression, Xin Ran shook his head gently.
"If Chai Xuan calls everyone to get together, it will naturally be nothing wrong. It's just this time, how could he just summon Sister-in-law Jin, and it doesn't seem that Chai Xuan wants to call us out. So, Ye'er, you have to stay, if something happens to us, you can find a way to inform General Bai, and let General Bai inform Chai Xuan of his thoughts. ”
The little guy who was talking outside the door looked at the situation in the door from time to time, and the scene couldn't help but make Xin Ran a little worried. The waist card he took out was the waist card in the palace, which was very similar to the one on Bai Yi's body. It's just that Bai Yi's can only be used when he enters the palace. The little guy's piece is clearly written with the word Changfeng.
She had heard Bai Yi say that Chai Xuan was in Changxuan Palace, and suddenly it would not be a "long wind", and this detail had to make Xin Ran vigilant. Now he only let Li Xiang go alone, and he specially chose to choose when the Bai family brothers were not there, which is really incomprehensible.
Seeing Xinran's face turned blue, Ye Er's heart couldn't help but prune, it didn't seem to be as simple as she thought in her heart.
"Xinran, obviously you only called me alone, why do you want to take this risk with me!" Li Xiang's eyebrows tightened, and she looked at Xinran seriously. Now that you know that this matter is not simple, why do you have to follow yourself to wade into this troubled water.
The little servant guarding the door had already driven the carriage over, trotted in to the door and asked, "Madam, we should go, if the palace gate is closed later, you will have to stay in the palace." With that, he made his debut in front of him.
Xinran pulled Lixiang and wanted to join her, but before she could go out, she was stopped by the little guy, "This lady, Chai Guiren only said that he wanted to see Mrs. Jin, you ......"
Looking at the person who was smiling in front of him, Xin Ran could only take a few steps back slowly, raised his eyes and stared at Li Xiangyan and said, "Cousin-in-law, there are many rules in this palace, so be careful in everything." ”
Li Xiang tightened her face, nodded slightly, and got up and entered the car. Turning around, I looked deeply, and my eyes tightened.
Looking at the carriage that slowly drove away, Xinran's face seemed to sink even more. Looking at Lixiang's expression, she probably knew something, but it seemed that she deliberately hid it from them, and she was still reluctant to say it.
Ye Er looked at Xin Ran with a worried face, and didn't know what to say. I could only accompany Xinran quietly to look at the distant wheels, but my heart was a mess.
In Changxuan's palace, Chai Xuan was drinking tea leisurely. He picked up the cup and took a sip into his mouth, but he was forced to stick out his tongue by the bitterness that overflowed his throat.
"This thing is too bitter~" Chai Xuan couldn't help frowning, pursing the corners of her mouth and looking at the few catechs in the cup.
On weekdays, I look at Cao Pi drinking this thing, but I feel quite comfortable. Now that I taste it, how can it be astringent and bitter, and it is not as good as those small broken teas on my weekdays.
"Noble, this is the first-grade Huangshan Maofeng, which is much better than the green tea you usually have." Xiao Man looked at Chai Xuan, who was not very literate, and was full of contempt.
Chai Xuan smacked her lips in displeasure and put down the teacup, "What's good or not, you like to leave it for you to drink!" ”
"Nobleman, this is given to you by His Majesty, where do we slaves and maids have a good mouth!"
Xiao Man's face tightened slightly, and he found that Chai Xuan was starting to lose her shape again. I know that she doesn't have those rules and regulations in her heart, but she should still act like some nobles.
"It's a slave again, Xiaoman, how many times do you want me to say it, so that you don't talk about this?" Chai Xuan stood up with a resentful face, tilting her head to look at Xiao Man, who was busy before and after.
After hearing Chai Xuan's words, Xiao Man shook his head helplessly, "No matter how many times the noble man says it, Xiao Man will not put it down." Rules are rules, how can you say that if you don't keep them, you won't keep them! ”
Obviously for Xiaoman's goodness, he was counted down by her. Chai Xuan only felt that she had touched a gray nose, and she nestled back on the table and lay on her stomach, staring at the rising smoke.
It turns out that there are too many people in this Changxuan Palace, so I will be upset. But now there are fewer people, especially when Cao Pi is not there, it is even more boring.
"Nobleman, Lixiang asks to see."
Re, who was lying on the table, heard the word "Lixiang", and the whole person jumped up directly from his seat like a spring, staring at the person who was talking with shocked eyes. "What? Rongzhi, who do you say is coming? ”
"Back to the nobles, it's Lixiang." Rong Zhi looked at Chai Xuan's reaction with a confused expression, and said again.
The reconfirmation still made Chai Xuan a little incredulous, she never wanted to see Lixiang, how did she come here? If she bumps into Pan Xue in the palace, it will be a big deal! There was a sudden tightness under his feet, and before everyone could react, Chai Xuan himself flashed out of the room in an instant.
Lixiang, who was waiting outside the door, was quietly waiting for Chai Xuan to summon her, but she didn't know what the situation was in her heart. staring at the bluestone under his feet, he heard the footsteps coming behind him. Li Xiang thought it was Chai Xuan, but when she looked back, she was shocked!
Seeing that Li Xiang was stunned in place, she had not saluted for a long time. He Yue, who was following behind Pan Xue, had an angry face and said, "Who are you, so bold!" When I saw Pan Shuyuan, I didn't know how to salute! ”
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, but it also shocked the people who came, and her face, which was still smiling, suddenly turned blue. His eyes tightened, "Are you ...... Lixiang? ”
"Chu Die, no...... Pan Shuyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time......" Lixiang's slightly reddened eyes stared at Pan Xue tightly, and a little chill gradually appeared in her eyes.
The old face is on the face, and the past is like a flood that has opened an outlet, washing all the past in front of Pan Xue. Pan Xue, who couldn't believe it, couldn't help but stumble back, and was about to speak but was crossed in front of Chai Xuan who came in a hurry.
