Chapter 18 Wealth is incomplete

Beiliuyun quietly watched Chu Luoyi concentrate under the dim candlelight, but his soft face was a little cold because of his lips pursed.

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, now your body is damaged, if you don't cultivate well, you go to practice martial arts, it will only hurt the foundation."

Hearing this, Beiliuyun sat back obediently, but his eyes kept falling on Chu Luoyi, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Luoyi looked at the peony golden hairpin in his hand, and beat it repeatedly with a tool. Beiliuyun found that her hands were also trembling slightly, and she seemed to be a little unstable.

In fact, Chu Luoyi's unsteady hand was caused by penetrating the pipa bone at the beginning, and the piercing of the pipa bone was worse than the broken meridians, even if he received excellent treatment, it was difficult not to be affected.

After a while, Chu Luoyi looked at the peony bead hairpin in his hand, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't until the bright moon hung high that Chu Luoyi put down the work in his hand, rewrapped the bead hairpin, and got up to leave.

Bei Liuyun followed her all the way to the door, and didn't make a sound, Chu Luoyi glanced at the scars on his face and said, "If someone comes next time, you will hide, and if you can't find you, they will naturally leave." ”

"Okay."

......

Chu Luoyi walked alone in the vast night, and the depressed and lonely figure became a special scene in this night.

After Chu Luoyi left, Beiliuyun began to practice martial arts in the courtyard, sweat soaked through his thin shirt, the cold wind and frost blew, and the shirt even froze, but even this never shook his faith.

Early the next morning, Chu Luoyi went to the queen's Fengxiang Palace with a tray in his hand.

"Queen Mother, the people from the Shanggong Bureau sent the pearl hairpin." An aunt next to the queen reported.

"Come in."

After Chu Luoyi walked in, he respectfully walked in front of the queen with a tray in both hands, knelt on the ground, and said hello.

There are a total of seven bead hairpins on the tray, three are peony golden hairpins, two are phoenix hairpins, two are butterfly hairpins, different sizes, exquisite carving, dotted with dazzling gems, can be called beautiful.

The queen's fingers stroked a row of beaded hairpins, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is worthy of Lord Shanggong himself, the craftsmanship is really extraordinary, go back and tell Shanggong, just say that the palace is very satisfied." ”

"The slave obeys."

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and glanced at the queen, and then stepped back.

The queen is dignified and atmospheric, and her words seem to be very gentle, but in fact, she has a majesty, in addition, her appearance is also extremely beautiful, and she does have the grace of a peony.

After going back, Shang Gong didn't ask much, and everything seemed calm and normal.

Until three days later, the concubines went to Fengxiang Palace as usual to greet the queen.

The queen sat on the main seat, and there were many concubines on both sides, and one of them said: "The queen's pearl hairpin is really beautiful, I heard that it was built by Lord Shanggong himself, except for Niangniang, others are afraid that there will be no more such blessings." As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Rou, who was sitting in the first place.

"Yes, the queen is the mother of the world, and only a noble flower like a peony can match the identity of the mother."

The queen smiled and said: "It's rare that Lord Shanggong is willing to sell a thin noodle in the palace, even if it is an ordinary flower, because of the mind of Lord Shanggong, this palace will also cherish it." ”

"My sister is really a blessing, it's not like my hairpin, and I don't know which little maid handled it, the workmanship is rough, and my sister's is simply a world of difference." Concubine Rou helped the step on her head and sighed.

"My sister's step is exquisite, and the gems on it shine brightly, which is just right for my sister." There are words in the queen's words, which means that with your identity as a concubine, you are only worthy of letting the maid be a pearl hairpin.

Concubine Rou was not angry, and was about to say something, but when she raised her head, her eyes fell on the peony golden hairpin on the queen's head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer: "The craftsmanship of this Shanggong is really superb, it seems that my sister really can't afford it." ”

Everyone's eyes followed Concubine Rou, some gloating, and some were shocked, covering their mouths and unable to speak.

The queen also sensed that something was wrong, and raised her hand to pick the peony flower on the hairpin, but saw that the huge peony was missing two petals.

The golden petals separated from the stamens and had already fallen, and a hint of fierceness flashed in the queen's eyes.

At this time, a concubine from Concubine Rou's faction spoke: "Oh, it's not a good sign that the petals of this peony flower fall off, the peony means wealth, and it is the king of flowers, doesn't this mean that wealth is not complete..."

The concubine's words didn't continue, but they didn't speak for themselves.

The queen didn't get angry when she heard this, and put the hairpin on the pear wood pine branch table beside her very calmly: "Go and bring Lord Shanggong." ”

Concubine Rou, who sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "Hey, this peony flower has always symbolized the identity of my sister, but I don't want it to wither now, it's really sad to watch." ”

Concubine Rou's words were obviously more sharp than the previous concubines, and the withering of peony flowers meant that the queen was about to fall out of favor, presumably the queen must have been angry.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my sister to be a person who cherishes flowers, but the palace is so big, but I don't know what flowers can not wither in all seasons, and the peony is a peony after all, but if you want to play hibiscus in the moon, even if you gild her with a layer of gold, she will not become the king of flowers after all." The queen has been in the palace for many years, and naturally she is not a simple role.

Concubine Rou sneered and stopped talking.

When the aunt beside the queen found Shang Gong, although Shang Gong looked very worried, she was very calm in her heart, and it seemed that everything was under control.

When Shang Gong passed by Chu Luoyi's side, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "There is a problem with the queen's hairpin, you can go with me." ”

Another palace maid and Chu Luoyi lowered their heads and followed behind Shang Gong, but Chu Luoyi's eyes flashed with a few flashes of brilliance, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of slow arc.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother thousand years old thousand years old." Shang Gong knelt on the ground, but the queen was not in a hurry to let her get up.

"Lord Shanggong, this palace asks you to take action in person, it is trustworthy to your craftsmanship, but you can take a closer look at this palace! The petals have fallen off, and the peony symbolizes the palace, aren't you cursing the palace for being rich and incomplete? Who the hell gave you the guts! The queen's tone suddenly became sharp, and she slammed the hairpin on the table.

Shang Gong hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The queen mother's life, the old slave is wronged, the old slave has been in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau for many years, and the objects he has handled have never been wrong." ”

"Oh? Then Lord Shanggong said how to explain this hairpin. The queen asked, raising an eyebrow.
