There are so many things to know on the day of the banquet that it was already dark after Luo Junyue finished speaking. Before leaving, the little princess also threatened with a "fierce" face, asking Xue Jun to worry about his mouth, and the previous apology made him rot in his stomach.

Xue Junwu was silent, and after she left, opened the delicate food box, and found that it was full of light nourishing delicacies, she barely accepted it in her heart.

On this night, the moon is white and the wind is clear.

Xue Junwu was lying on the couch, playing with the dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand. He had seen such a masterpiece in a museum in his previous life. And it is such a warm and transparent good jade, not to mention buried in the soil for hundreds of years, even if you pick up the jade in your last life, it is estimated that it can be sold for hundreds of millions of sky-high prices.

In that case, he would not die of exhaustion in the post of a social animal.

Just thinking about it, a cold wind blew in the cold night, and Xue Junwu immediately returned from emotion to reality.

“... ... Is it necessary for this little princess to chop down the entire window? After sleeping like this all night, the wound was frozen to death even if it was not infected. ”

Muttering to himself, Xue Jun got up and found a few planks and walked to the window. After enduring the pain and fixing them one by one, although the air was still leaking, at least it wasn't as cold as it was just now.

After blocking the cold wind, Xue Junwu washed his hands, lay back on the couch, picked up the jade pendant again, and put it on his hand to observe it carefully.

But before the heat was covered under him, Xue Junwei immediately noticed the strangeness in his hand and observed the jade pendant from a different angle.

I don't know when a very small part of this jade has become crimson, and you can vaguely see the small fonts hidden under the crimson.

He was stunned, sat up and looked up in a deep thought, obviously there was no such change just now, he was sure.

Because since he finished eating, he has been observing this jade pendant.

"What's going on?" Xue Junwu turned his head to look at the window that had been patched with wooden boards, and shook his head lightly, "It shouldn't be the moonlight's problem..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Jun's worried eyes fell on the copper basin where he had just finished washing his hands.

As if he had an idea in his heart, he walked down again, dipped his fingers in water first, and wiped a small part of the jade pendant - really! From a fine white jade, it is turning into a crimson jade pendant at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even a trick word is clearly visible.

Xue Jun looked at the doubts and immersed the entire jade pendant in the water. When he picked it up again, there was a small line of text hidden in the crimson jade perry, and the word "Scarlet Jue" first caught his eye.

... ...

As the night passed, the sky was bright.

Xue Jun got up early in the morning, washed up, walked out of the house with a copper basin, and caught a glimpse of a shadow in the afterglow.

In front of the other party was a delicate bronze brazier, and his slender body was curled up at the base of the wall by the door, and his white little face was full of hesitation, so that he didn't notice him coming out.

"I don't need to pretend to be pitiful, I'm not angry."

Xue Junwu poured the water in the copper basin into the courtyard, looked at the shadow and said.

Yun Ni, who was squatting at the corner of the wall, raised her head, and her hesitation instantly turned into a lively smile: "Don't you have to return the five thousand taels to the horse master!" ”

Hearing this, Xue Jun's worried face collapsed, and he turned around to go back to the house: "Farewell!" ”

"Hey, hey, the master of the horse forgives the sins, the master of the horse forgives the sins, the slave is wrong." Yunni hurriedly got up and grabbed Xue Junwu's arm, and during the pulling, she happened to see a touch of jade white on his waist.

"Huh?!" After seeing it clearly, Yunni exclaimed, her face was even more incredulous, and she said, "The princess is giving the jade pendant given by the concubine to the concubine?" How could it be..."

"Concubine Niangniang?" Xue Jun entered the room and put the copper basin on the shelf, and asked suspiciously.

Seeing that the face of the horse master was very normal, Yun Ni secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was still thinking about how to apologize in order to be forgiven. It seems that she has done this too much, and the master is not a careful eye who likes to hold grudges.

Yunni nodded immediately: "Well, it's the princess's biological mother, Gongsun Guifei." ”

"It turned out to be a relic given by my mother... No wonder I was so reluctant at first. Xue Jun thought worriedly, then remembered what the imperial doctor had mentioned yesterday, and asked: "You and the princess are so close, you have been together since childhood, so have you ever seen the concubine?" ”

"Yes. Although the slave maid left the princess at the age of ten to practice martial arts, she served the princess at the age of six, but... The concubine died when the princess was seven years old, in fact, the mother's body was very haggard that year, which also became a heart disease for the princess. ”

That kind of disease will indeed leave an incurable heartache to the loved ones.

Perhaps thinking of his mother, who also died of illness in his previous life, Xue Junwu sighed softly and said with emotion: "Then the princess must be very protective of this jade pendant, right?" I'm afraid I won't let even a drop of water get it on it. ”

Yun Ni responded: "It's not just water, the princess will put away the jade pendant when she eats, for fear that the smell will be mixed in." ”

Xue Junwu nodded, thoughtfully, the little princess really didn't know about the hidden characters in the jade perry.

But that line of words... Seems to be the name of a place.

At this point, Xue Jun looked at the half-point anger on Yun Ni's face, and asked casually, "Scarlet Trick... Do you know the origin of the name? ”

"Scarlet?" When Yun Ni heard this, the expression on his face obviously knew, so he said, "Don't you know the scarlet secret?" The famous study building of the emperor's capital, which hides all kinds of rare books from the past and present, is the place that all scholars and students yearn for, in their eyes it is comparable to Yan Ruyu, the golden house. ”

Xue Junwei looked at her with a curious gaze: "Hmm... My family has been in business for generations, and I don't know much about anything else, but I love to read since I was a child, so I heard about such a place. ”

"Oh." Yunni nodded, and then immediately proposed to show goodwill: "Then the slave maid take the concubine Ma Ye to go, the slave maid has the red jade borrowing order here, and if you have this thing, you can borrow any book in the study building." ”

"How do you have this?" Xue Jun asked worriedly.

"When the concubine was still able to move around, she often went there, and the slave maid went there once with the princess. However, after the mother's death, this token has been kept in the treasury of the house. Yun Ni replied.

I see, it's right now, so there must be some relics left over there.

Xue Jun thought to himself worriedly, in addition, he had another plan in his heart.

If she could really help the princess find the precious treasure left by her biological mother, she must be grateful to herself. At that time, if she asks her to be an official, she will definitely allow herself to be an official with this kindness.

Even if he is a petty official, as long as he does a good job, as long as he is appreciated by the powerful, there will definitely be a day when he will enter the DPRK and participate in politics.

Thinking like this in his heart, Xue Junwu's eyes brightened a little when he looked at Yunni, and replied with a smile: "Then I'll bother you to take me there, I won't tell you that my desire for books is still very, very strong." ”
