Chapter 147: Xiao Xiangyu
Chu Luoyi was not too surprised, the gold bracelet was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and those who were interested would definitely see it.
It's just that Xiao Xiangyu came late at night for this matter, which was a bit surprising.
Seeing that Chu Luoyi didn't speak, Xiao Xiangyu said a little anxiously: "It's a bracelet made of red gold, inlaid with several sapphires, like a ribbon and like the Milky Way, the gems on it are very strong, but one is missing, I don't know if that's the case?" ”
Chu Luoyi turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiangyu's expression quietly: "There is indeed such a gold bracelet, but I don't know why the side concubine asked about it?" ”
Yes, now Xiao Xiangyu is Ouyang Qiancheng's side concubine and Prince Nanzhao's side concubine.
Xiao Xiangyu's expression was a little excited, and he said anxiously: "I wonder if Niangniang can let me take a look?" ”
Chu Luoyi bowed slightly: "Since the side concubine is here, why don't you go into the house and talk about it, now that the spring is cold, it is a little chilly." ”
"Concubine Luo is in charge."
As Chu Luoyi walked all the way into Luoyue Palace, Xiang Yu's eyes were a little shocked, she only knew that Concubine Luo was favored before, and she also saw the extent to which Emperor Beiyan favored her today.
But the emperor's affection is weak, and she always thinks that it will be difficult to last long.
But after walking into this Luoyue Palace, no matter whether Emperor Beiyan really loves her or not, but looking at this dazzling array of people, she has been shuttling in and out of the palace since she was a child, but she has to admit that this is a luxury that she has rarely seen.
White jade is the wall, the glass is made of tiles, the pearl of the bright moon, the dragon and phoenix brocade, full of dazzling.
The white velvet blanket was spread under her feet, which made her invisibly feel a kind of worry, not knowing whether her shoes would get dirty, and she didn't dare to settle down.
Look at the velvet carpet again, there are round and bright beads scattered at will, there are black and white pearls, there are pearls that shine at night, there are red agate balls, there are green jade, and gems of various colors and shapes, which make people can't take their eyes off, they are crystal clear, like stars in the night, naughty and cute, and people can't help but play with them in the palm of their hands.
Chu Luoyi looked at her slightly hesitant appearance and said, "Come in." ”
Xiang Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, still afraid to settle down.
Chu Luoyi turned back to the gold bracelet and said, "Go and get a pair of shoes for the side concubine." ”
"Yes."
The gold bracelet lowered his head, opened the cabinet, and took out a pair of brand-new flat-soled soft embroidered shoes, with only a few small pale pink flowers on the white silk brocade, with a bit of new green, simple and clean, with the fragrance after the first rain.
Xiang Yu smiled at Chu Luoyi, put his shoes on his feet, and then carried his boots neatly in front of the door.
Chu Luoyi watched her movements, and her gaze softened slightly.
Sometimes, she always thinks that many things revealed in the details are always more believable, looking at the woman in front of her who is extremely timid, and can't even bear to step on an ant, she always doesn't want to believe that she really betrayed herself with Ouyang Qiancheng and Qingxue.
"Sit down."
Yinhuan stepped forward and poured her a cup of hot tea, Xiang Yu nodded slightly to Yinhuan with gratitude, and then held the teacup tightly with both hands, and the hot air was mixed between the two, blurring each other's faces.
"Concubine Luo, I don't know if that gold bracelet can let me..."
Before Xiang Yu's words were finished, Chu Luoyi had already reached out of his hand, and the gold bracelet stepped forward respectfully, touched the lock on the gold bracelet, took off the bracelet, and sent it to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu hurriedly thanked him, and his eyes were already taken away by the gold bracelet.
Trembling his hands, he picked up the gold bracelet, and his fingertips touched each gem on the gold bracelet little by little, and when he saw that the gem that had fallen off in his memory was intact, his pupils shrank suddenly, and with a shake of his hand, the gold bracelet fell on the table.
Chu Luoyi had been paying attention to her expression, and Yinhuan on the side was a little dissatisfied for a while when he saw Xiang Yu being so careless.
However, Xiang Yu didn't notice this, but reached out again to pick up the bracelet, tears appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his lips squirmed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Chu Luoyi didn't urge, just drank tea, as if she wanted to get some clues from her expression.
After a while, Xiang Yu finally came back to his senses and said, "Dare to ask Concubine Luo, where did this bracelet come from?" ”
Chu Luoyi didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know why the side concubine Niangniang is so interested in this bracelet?" Looking at the mother's appearance, it seems to be déjà vu? ”
"Uhhh It's true that I've seen it before, don't hide it from my mother, this bracelet is one I once had.." Xiang Yu spoke slowly.
"One what?"
"A. . . Very good friend's. ”
Chu Luoyi's expression remained unchanged, and the fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, even giving birth to an expectation in her heart, could it be that Xiang Yu betrayed her back then and had another hidden reason?
But thinking of this, Chu Luoyi felt that he was really ridiculous, no matter whether there was a secret or not, betrayal is betrayal after all, no matter what excuse or reason, it can't be replaced after all.
"Can you tell me where this bracelet came from?" There was some eagerness in Xiang Yu's eyes.
The sapphire on it was repaired, could it mean that she wasn't dead?
Chu Luoyi said slowly: "It was taken from the Northern Yan Treasure Pavilion. ”
"Treasure Chamber?"
Chu Luoyi continued to explain: "Not long ago, this palace went out of the palace with His Majesty's micro-service, and it happened to meet the treasure pavilion to auction all kinds of treasures. ”
Xiang Yu is a little lost, Treasure Pavilion? It's hard to find out the origin of the bracelet in this kind of place, but think about it, if it's taken out for auction, I'm afraid that the gem on it was repaired by the Treasure Pavilion.
"I see." Xiang Yu said slowly.
"Looking at the appearance of the bracelet, it is a treasure, but since it is a bracelet of a mother's friend, I don't know why it will be exiled, even from Nanzhao to the capital of the Northern Yan Emperor." Chu Luoyi tentatively spoke.
Xiao Xiangyu didn't know how to speak for a while, looked at Chu Luoyi in front of him, opened his mouth, and didn't know how to answer.
Chu Luoyi lowered her eyes and didn't speak, Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Luoyi, would she.. Could it be ....
"She's gone, so the bracelet is gone, and I've looked for it, but I haven't found it." When Xiang Yu spoke, he didn't forget to look at Chu Luoyi.
"I see."
Xiang Yu handed the bracelet back to Chu Luoyi, and did not hand it over to the palace maid the gold bracelet, but handed it directly to Chu Luoyi, staring at her hand with his eyes tight.
Chu Luoyi raised his hand to take the gold bracelet, Xiang Yu saw that there was no trace on the back of the white hand, and was a little stunned.
Sure enough, she was dreaming, how could she be her?
Xiang Yu looked at the fingertips that were fair and slender, but slightly rough, and shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, in her memory, she has never been ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, even if she is practicing martial arts, even swords, and riding and archery, but because of the love of the Chu family, the ten fingers are still delicate without a trace of flaws, which is incomparable to many nobles.
But right now, Concubine Luo's hands are beautiful, but the fingers are a little rough, which is not the same as the pair in her memory.
What is Chu Luoyi looking at in the way of nature, in her previous life, she had a red mole on the back of her hand, which was a little bewitching, but Yun Luoyi's hand did not.
Chu Luoyi looked at her lost appearance, drooped her head, and almost couldn't help but reach out to rub her head.
At this moment, the maid who had been waiting outside the door looked inside and whispered to Xiao Xiangyu: "Niangniang, Chunxi is here, saying that the little young master has been crying non-stop, and it is not good to coax him." ”
Xiang Yu hurriedly got up and said: "Concubine Luo, it seems that I am going back, thank you for today, please forgive me for the trouble." ”
Chu Luoyi's mind kept replaying what the maid said just now, little young master? The little master keeps crying?
Lowering his eyes, the fingers in his sleeves slowly tightened, it turned out that Xiangyu, you already had a child with Ouyang Qiancheng.
"Little Liuzi, send the side concubine Niangniang for the palace." Chu Luoyi spoke a little tiredly.
After Xiao Xiangyu nodded, he turned to leave, neatly placed the soft-soled embroidered shoes he had changed into by the door, and turned around to leave behind Wei Weifu.
Xiao Liuzi is now like a person, and he has sent Xiangyu all the way.
"It's a blessing to be able to marry such a good person as His Royal Highness the Prince."
Xiang Yu just smiled and didn't speak, but the maid on the side said: "Our master has always been gentle, and he doesn't have a little arrogance, so he naturally likes His Royal Highness the Prince, so he will give birth to a little master in one fell swoop." ”
Xiao Liuzi lowered his head and kept these words in his heart.
Listening to the meaning of this maid, it is probably that Qingxue is very flamboyant on weekdays, which causes them to be dissatisfied with her, but they are afraid of her methods, even if they are behind their backs, they dare not speak, so they have to insinuate like this.
"I wonder how old the little master is?"
"After this year, the little master will be one year old." The maid spoke.
"More than a year old?" Chu Luoyi stood in front of the window and repeated.
Xiao Liuzi bowed and stood aside: "It's one year old, and the slave has tried something else, the crown princess Qingxue doesn't seem to be friendly to this side concubine, and the maids around Xiangyu dare not speak out, but as far as the slave knows, the child of this Xiangyu side concubine is the eldest son of the prince's mansion and the only child." ”
Chu Luoyi overlooked the undulating mountains in the distance, the winding and long mountains in the night were like a sleeping dragon, lying between the heavens and the earth, and the occasional firelight on the mountains was more like the armor on the golden dragon, inadvertently refracting a dazzling light in the brightness.
Chu Luoyi didn't answer, more than two years ago, when she was with Ouyang Qiancheng, although there were a lot of girls in his house, and even women sent by officials, he had never met anyone, and there was never even news of having an heir, which moved her for a long time.
Now that I think about it, it's not necessarily that he hasn't touched those women, but maybe he has taken the avoidance soup, which has made there be no movement of the heir, and the rumors of the prince's dedication in the neighborhood, she is arrogant and conceited.
Calculate the time, ten months pregnant, Xiang Yu's child is now more than a year old, I am afraid that not long after her death, she will have Ouyang Qiancheng's child.
