Xia Qian just walked into the backstage, and before she had time to change her clothes, she was invited back to the banquet by Mu Hibiscus.

After taking off the mask, the snow-white off-the-shoulder white dress set off the dozens of scars on her face particularly eye-catching. Anyone who had seen her before her disfigurement felt sorry for her delicate face.

Huo Zun looked at her intently, and after the thousand-year-old ice on his face receded, no one could fathom the gloomy and uncertain expression.

"Sister He De, Sister Lao danced such a good dance to help the fun. Just now, many guests mentioned that they wanted to reward my sister, and my sister, as the longevity master, gave my sister the ice silk Caixia cloak that Brother Ji Teng just gave me! Qin Xinyue looked at Huo Zun, secretly pondered for a long time, and spoke.

The Ice Silk Caixia shawl was a trophy captured by Huo Zun from Nankang, and was given to him by the King of Yi along with two boxes of jewels, and was kept in the study after being brought back to the North Courtyard.

A few days ago, Qin Xinyue accidentally saw it in his study, and seeing that she couldn't put it down, Huo Zun gave it to her.

At this moment, the reason why Qin Xinyue took it out and gave it to Xia Qian was because in front of the public, Xia Qian's dress was too explicit and damaged the face of the General's Mansion, and she felt that the light and shade on Huo Zun's face were related to this;

Moreover, in front of everyone, she gave this thing to Xia Qian, which made her even more virtuous and virtuous, and she was deeply favored by Huo Zun.

When the maid came over with the ice silk Caixia cloak, Qin Xinyue got up with her lower abdomen and took over the clothes, and personally draped Xia Qian on her shoulders.

"My sister has a good figure, fair skin, and she is really a fairy when she dresses like a fairy!" Qin Xinyue helped Xia Qian tie the shoulder strap under her collarbone, while looking at the scars on Xia Qian's face, and smiled brightly.

Jing Qianxi's eyes fell on the cloak, with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred, and she pursed her lips and praised: "What beautiful clothes!" Sister, Sister Yue'er is a birthday star today, she gave you such a good dress, you have to return the gift! ”

"A return gift?"

Xia Qian was stunned again!

The mandarin duck tea was respected, and the dance owed to Huo Zun was also repaid, what do these three women and one man want her to do?

The anger in her heart gradually grew, she looked at the pair of beautiful people opposite, and patiently explained: "I left in a hurry, and I really didn't bring a birthday gift." If it is not enough to toast a cup of mandarin duck tea and a dance, then even toast you three cups, and wish the two white-headed old together, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and a long life! ”

The voice was sweet and soft, the smile was free and natural, and she took the three glasses of wine handed over by Su Lianyi, and she drank them all very happily.

Huo Zun stared at her, and a dark cloud instantly appeared on his face, which was still uncertain.

My heart seems to have been blocked by something, and the qi and blood in my whole body are a little uncomfortable.

He could feel that she had changed, but where had changed, he couldn't be sure for a moment.

Seeing Huo Zun sitting there without saying a word, his face was gloomy and cold, Qin Xinyue was holding the wine glass and drinking it, and it was not okay if he didn't drink it.

"Brother Ji Teng!" Qin Xinyue gently nudged his arm.

Huo Zun's eyelids moved, his eyes fell on Xia Qian, and he still didn't reach out to take the wine glass.

Su Lianyi looked at the two of them and Xia Qian seriously, and said with a smile: "Sister, the general didn't drink your toast, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with your birthday gift!" Otherwise, you can send a gift to Sister Yue'er! ”

As she spoke, she pulled out the mutton fat jade flute on Xia Qian's head and stuffed it into Qin Xinyue's hand.

The texture of this jade flute is warm, the color is like white fat, and it looks like a white jade bamboo joint, but when you look closely, you will find that there are small holes on it, and the carving is by no means comparable to an ordinary hairpin.

Su Lianyi and Xia Qian sat side by side, and at a glance they could see that what Xia Qian was wearing on their heads was a treasure.

She herself was ridden on her head by Qin Xinyue, a maid, and she was unconvinced, and using Xia Qian to provoke Huo Zun's dissatisfaction with Qin Xinyue was her real purpose.

After the hairpin was plucked, Xia Qian's long black hair fell down and landed on the ice silk Caixia shawl, setting off her pearl-white skin more moist and smooth, if it weren't for this face covered with long and short horizontal and vertical scars, no one would doubt that they saw the fairy.

Qin Xinyue held the jade flute, her face was blue with anger, and just as she was about to return the hairpin to Xia Qian, she was startled by a line of small characters on it.

The sharp-eyed Jing Qianxi also saw it, and raised her voice at the right time: "This thing, why do I feel like a jade flute?" Moreover, this love poem is also engraved! ”

"It's my stuff, you give it back to me!" Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around to grab it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no hairpin available, she would never take it out and tie it in a bun, besides, the words on this flute are very small, and it can be seen that it is tied in the hair, who would have expected that Su Lianyi would snatch it in front of so many people.

"Love poems?" Seeing this, Su Lianyi hurriedly stopped Xia Qian, pressed it on the chair and laughed, "Sister, you have such a good flute, why didn't you take it out earlier and let the sisters open their eyes!" ”

Hearing the love poem, Huo Zun's eyes darkened, and he turned his head to look at the flute in Qin Xinyue's hand.

Qin Xinyue's eyebrows twisted, and she changed the direction of the line at the right time, just turning her back from his gaze.

The flute turned so lightly at Qin Xinyue's fingertips, and the line was pointed at Jing Qianxi, her eyes lit up, and she read it out at the right time.

"There is a phoenix singing in the mountain, and there is a place for dancing alone! What a strange verse? - Phoenix? Sister, this doesn't seem like a good fit for you, does it? Jing Qianxi looked at Xia Qian in surprise.

Xia Qian took advantage of Su Lianyi's inattention, pushed her away, and detoured to Qin Xinyue to get her flute, but the thing was still snatched by the sharp-eyed Jing Qianxi and snatched it from Qin Xinyue's hands.

Jing Qianxi looked at the clear handwriting on the flute, raised her voice and said: "Sister, such a chic flute, I'm afraid you have to say it clearly, otherwise just this "phoenix" word, if you don't say it yourself, we may also suffer!" ”

Xia Qian disdained to argue with her, and tried her best to grab the jade flute, the line of poetry on the flute, if played by these women, it would definitely kill her.

The two of them competed for me, and Su Lianyi soon joined in, and just when the three of them were scrambling together, and blood was flowing on the back of the hand they chose, the flute slipped from the air and was firmly grasped by a big hand.

Huo Zun pinched the jade flute, looked at the ten words on it again and again, and his cold face was covered with dark clouds.

Jade, is a very rare mutton fat special grade white jade, the workmanship of the flute is the style of Nankang, the ten small characters on it are the line of calligraphy carved grasping, the handwriting is elegant and free, like a dragon.

Such a thing, if it is not a gift from the emperor to his beloved daughter, it is a token from the prince, the crown prince, or the emperor to his beloved.

"Where did this thing come from?" Huo Zun stared at the ten words on the jade flute and asked coldly.
