Wei Nong did what she said, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, she really only set up a "small banquet" in Weiyang Palace, and invited the eldest princess alone. There were only two servings of wine utensils and dishes, and even the palace people withdrew together, leaving no one to serve.

Defining the affair between Hou and Helian Biyue, the blow to the eldest princess was too great, and she hadn't seen her for a month, and she had already judged the two of them before. The once black green silk is half hidden in frost and snow, and the well-maintained skin also shows a withered color, and the proud posture that has always been replaced by malaise, even the complicated and gorgeous makeup has been abandoned, and the dress is becoming more and more simple.

During the banquet, thinking about what has happened in the past year or so, Wei Nong is also full of emotion. She empathizes with the current situation of the eldest princess, and she has also experienced the pain of being abandoned by her beloved. has been in love with Nie Xingji for a year, and she can't stand him taking the initiative to send her a kiss, not to mention that Hou and the eldest princess have been married for more than 30 years, so the blow is naturally even greater.

She really cared about the eldest princess, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you really planning to divorce?" ”

"Without Hugh, we are already reconciled." The eldest princess smiled sadly: "What he did made me even more unbearable than taking a hundred concubines. After more than 30 years of husband and wife, I am like a fool, can I still forgive him? ”

Wei Nong was silent, just because she couldn't stand the same thing. For her, love either lives up to the two, or never looks back. She never wanted to settle.

"In the past, I loved face the most, and I had to be strong in everything, but when I was old, I had a heavy fall." The eldest princess laughed at herself: "The clan relatives are all speculating about the reason for the separation, if it weren't for the stability of the court, I really want to reveal it all!" Let everyone in the world know what kind of cheap woman she Helian Biyue is, and where does Nie Xingyi come from! ”

Wei Nong silently poured wine for the eldest princess, she knew that the eldest princess must want to get drunk.

The eldest princess was really too aggrieved, and poured a glass of liquor into her belly, pouring too much, and began to tell the story of her acquaintance with the definition of Hou, as well as the happiness of the two after marriage. Wei Nong listened all the time, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two during the period to relieve her knots.

After more than an hour like this, the eldest princess not only was not drunk, but calmed down a little, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked frustratedly, "When did you know Nie Xingyi's background?" ”

Wei Nong recalled for a moment and replied, "It was about the end of October this year. ”

"And how do you know?" The eldest princess asked again: "What about Nie Xingji?" Did he find out first? Or did you find out first? ”

Wei Nong shook his head: "I don't know how he found out, we ...... The matter was not discussed. ”

The eldest princess put down the luminous cup she had been holding in her hand, and her expression gradually became clearer: "Tell me, how did you find out?" ”

Wei Nong hesitated for a moment, but finally brushed his thoughts, and started from the beginning: "Three days before your birthday banquet, you showed me that bracelet. I didn't mention it to you at the time, but in fact, Ming Danshu also has an identical style, which is silver. ”

"I originally thought that the pattern that defined the Hou was copied by the palace, and I didn't tell you about it for fear of making you angry. But on the night of your birthday, the king, no, the king suddenly fainted, and I became concerned about it. ”

"Do you know why the first king suddenly had a stroke?" The eldest princess remembered what she had learned, her heart ached, and her sorrow rose again: "My daughter Yanlan was killed by Helian Biyue!" She was afraid that Yan Lan would be the crown princess, and Nie Xingyi, the wild seed, did something in her daily medication! The first king was afraid that I would be sad when he found out about this, so he kept it a secret from me......"

"On the night of my birthday feast, the first king saw the bracelet I was wearing...... He knew that Helian Biyue also had one, so he guessed that Twilight Hao had an affair with her. Thinking of the cause of Yanlan's death, he guessed the truth and was greatly stimulated. ”

Wei Nong heard this story for the first time, and was very shocked, and wanted to comfort the eldest princess, but she didn't know what to say.

"I don't need to be comforted anymore." The eldest princess was more sad than dead, and waved her hand: "You go on!" I'd like to hear how you found out the truth. ”

Wei Nong continued: "Originally, I had no clue about this matter. At that time, the first king had a stroke, and I went to serve the sick every day, and I almost forgot about the bracelet...... It wasn't until after Nie Xingyi was imprisoned that Princess Jincheng came to visit the Longqian Palace and wore Ming Danshu's bracelet. The first king reacted very much when he saw it, and kept staring at the bracelet to speak. ”

"Wait, I'm confused," the eldest princess asked puzzled, "Didn't you see Ming Danshu wearing a bracelet?" Why did it become a golden city again? ”

"At that time, Princess Jincheng was pregnant with Ming Chongyuan's widow, but Ming Chenyuan was willing to marry, so Ming Danshu recognized the relationship between the two, so he borrowed Ming Chenyuan's hand and gave the bracelet to Jincheng." Wei Nong explained again: "Of course, this is the reason why Jincheng said to me. Later, I learned that the reason why Ming Danshu gave the bracelet was instructed by Nie Xingji. He has eyeliner in the Longqian Palace, and he wants to see how the first king reacts when he sees the bracelet, so as to confirm his guess. ”

"It's really not simple, it's deeper than his father's thoughts." The eldest princess sighed, and she didn't know whether to praise or depreciate.

"Deep thinking is both desirable and abominable for him." Micro Thick also export evaluation.

The eldest princess didn't dwell on this, and said eagerly: "You go on." ”

Wei Nong continued truthfully: "I saw that the first king had a strong reaction to this bracelet, so I went to Si Zhen's room to find some clues. But it was still a step too late, Si Zhenfang went out of the water, and all the patterns of the bracelets were burned. ”

As a result, the clue about the bracelet was interrupted again. Not long after, the daughter of the king of Chu was humiliated and committed suicide, and Nie Xingyi and I had a lot of trouble, so I went to live in the Fengchao Palace for a few days. By coincidence, I met Liu Sizhen to give jewelry to Helian Biyue, which was a golden luan bead hairpin. Helian Biyue saw that I had taken a few more looks, so she gave me the hairpin. ”

Wei Nong gestured with his hand to the appearance of the hairpin, and said: "There is a palace maid beside me, who used to be a palm treasure in the Si Zhen room, and when I saw this hairpin, I concluded that it was made of mixed color gold. Only then did I know that only the queen and the crown princess in the palace could make jewelry from pure gold, and the rest of the people could only use mixed gold. In this case, Liu Sizhen specially came to send a hairpin made of mixed gold, which doesn't make sense. ”

But within two days, news came out from the Fengchao Palace, saying that Queen Helian had lost a beloved piece of jewelry, and had killed a palace maid with a cane...... The first piece of jewelry in the palace is registered, although the pattern is gone, the records of leaving and entering the warehouse can still be found. I sent someone to investigate, and finally found some clues. ”

"For one, Queen Helian lost a bracelet made of pure gold; Second, the hairpin she gave me was a thing that was made of molten gold. At this point, I don't know if I was thirsty or what, I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it all, before I continued:

"At this point, I have a bold guess - I guess that the Marquis made two identical bracelets, one for you and one for Helian Biyue. It's just that the bracelet is too beautiful, and it appeared in the Fengchao Palace out of thin air, so as not to arouse suspicion. So Queen Helian asked Liu Sizhen to forge a record, wanting to install this bracelet on the calendar, pretending to be made by Sizhenfang. ”

But Liu Sizhen found that the bracelet was not pure gold, and she was worried that after forging the origin of the bracelet, some people would say that she cut corners and deceived the queen with mixed gold. So, she came up with a compromise - she recreated a pure gold bracelet and presented it to Helian Biyue. In this way, the origin of the bracelet has real evidence, from the pattern, the warehouse records do not have to be fabricated out of thin air, in case something happens, she does not have to take responsibility. ”

"But who knows, Helian Biyue's bracelet was inadvertently taken by Ming Danshu, isn't it?" The eldest princess can already imagine the story that follows: "Ming Danshu likes this bracelet, and asked Helian Biyue for it to no avail, so she went to Liu Sizhen to make an identical style. Liu Sizhen knew that Helian Biyue had two bracelets, one pure gold and one mixed gold, she was afraid of offending Helian Biyue, so she only dared to make a silver one for Ming Danshu? ”

Wei Nong nodded: "It is also possible that Helian Biyue was afraid that Liu Sizhen would see the clue, so she deliberately ordered her to make an extra silver bracelet and give it to Ming Danshu to cover people's eyes." ”

At this point, all the details were right, and the eldest princess suddenly realized. In previous years, when she was at her birthday banquet, Helian Biyue rarely attended, and most of the time it was Nie Xingyi's surrogate mother who came to give her birthday gift. This year, because of the slight thickness, the two families became in-laws, and Helian Biyue suddenly decided to attend. At that time, Hou was playing chess with King Yan, and he had no time to go to the mansion to greet Feng Jia, so he had no chance to stop her from taking down the bracelet, which caused her bracelet to be seen by Helian Biyue.

"No wonder the first king fainted unexpectedly during the birthday banquet, and Helian Biyue actually went against the norm and poured dirty water on me. She must have seen that I had the same bracelet, and she was jealous. The eldest princess snorted coldly.

Wei Nong also agreed with this speculation: "It stands to reason that she and you are 'in-laws' and should protect each other." She was angry with you, and the only reasonable explanation was jealousy. ”

"She's so funny when she's old." The eldest princess smiled hatefully and asked, "What does this have to do with that luan hairpin?" ”

He pondered for a moment: "It should be that the first king found out that the queen was unfaithful, and he was greatly stimulated and fainted, Helian Biyue guessed that the bracelet had indirectly leaked the secret, so he extrapolated that the bracelet was stolen by the palace maid." In fact, she asked Liu Sizhen to melt the two bracelets, and the golden luan bead hairpin should be rebuilt after melting gold. ”

In this way, it also explains why the luan hairpin is cast from mixed gold. Because the Flying Star Moon Bracelet that Hou gave to Helian Biyue was made of mixed gold, and the two bracelets were fused together.

After listening to this analysis, the eldest princess didn't say a word more, staring at the wine and delicacies on the table that had already been cold, and laughed deliciously. There was coldness in the smile, as well as mockery and self-deprecation.

Wei Nong saw that the eldest princess was so depressed and frustrated, and finally couldn't bear it, and tried to comfort her: "Actually, I guess in my heart that the Hou doesn't want to give the bracelet to Queen Helian. The bracelet was made in accordance with the regulations of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it was made of mixed gold. ”

"If Hou really wants to give the bracelet to Helian Biyue, it will definitely be made of pure gold." Slightly thick deliberately emphasized.
