After Tao Yao washed, she sat on the bed and fiddled with the head given to her by the eldest princess.

At this time, Xi'er, who was sorting out her clothes by the cage, saw a box and put it there at random, opened it and quickly picked it up, and asked: "Miss, have you forgotten this thing?" ”

Tao Yao was stunned when she saw the box she was holding in her hand, didn't remember what it was for a while, and asked, "What is that?" ”

"Miss, have you forgotten?" Xi'er was a little surprised, "On the eve of your wedding, someone sent it to you, but later, we couldn't find that person." ”

After she said this, Tao Yao finally remembered, reached out to take the box, put it on the bed, and opened the lid.

Even though she had seen it last time, when she opened it again and saw it, she was still amazed by what was inside.

Inside, there is a graceful, luxurious, pearlescent, delicate and beautiful tiara.

There are probably hundreds of pearls on it, and many rubies are used for embellishment.

The workmanship is exquisite, ingenious.

This is the congratulatory gift she received on the eve of her wedding.

At that time, she received a lot of congratulatory gifts, and she didn't notice it.

It was only when Xi'er was tidying up that I found out about this.

But I couldn't find the person who gave the gift anymore, because there was no registration in the registration book.

In addition to the beautiful tiara, there is also a note in the box, which reads that the phoenix crown was specially made for her, and it was a congratulatory gift for her marriage.

Although the crown is beautiful, after all, the origin is unknown, so she did not wear it on the day of her marriage.

But somehow, this crown also followed her dowry and entered the Guogong Mansion together.

However, to create such a crown, the people behind it must not be simple.

It's just that why didn't the other party show up?

The shot is so bold, I want to have a lot of friendship with the Tao family.

Tao Yao thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it.

She closed the lid and said to Xi'er, "Put it in the cage first." ”

"Yes." Xi'er answered and put the box in the cage.

Tao Yao yawned and pulled the quilt and lay down.

After extinguishing a few candles, Xi'er closed the door and withdrew.

……

At this time, the atmosphere in the East Palace was solemn and solemn, only because the prince was assassinated and seriously injured.

Several imperial doctors gathered around the bed and treated and bandaged the crown prince Qi Yan.

Because of excessive blood loss, Qi Yan's face was a little pale.

But he sat there and said to Lu Jiuyuan, who sent him back, "Tonight, thanks to the rescue of the Duke of Guo." ”

If Tao Ling and the others were here, they would definitely be surprised when they saw him.

Because the person in front of him is the man who broke into the private room in the theater.

"The prince is serious, and the minister just happened to meet him." Lu Jiuyuan's dark eyes closed slightly, and he said lightly.

Qi Yan smiled bitterly, "Lone didn't expect that he would be assassinated on a whim and almost couldn't come back." ”

Lu Jiuyuan reminded: "Even if it is a whim, how can the people behind the scenes know the whereabouts of the prince?" ”

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Guogong is right, it seems that the lonely East Palace is afraid that there is a traitor." ”

Lu Jiuyuan saw that he understood, so he said: "It's not too early, the prince will rest early, and the minister will retire first." ”

Qi Yan nodded, "Guogong walks slowly." ”

As soon as Lu Jiuyuan left, Qi Yan gave a few words to his henchmen.

That night, the East Palace quietly carried out a purge and found out several moles.

……

The next day, the Lu Guo Mansion.

After Tao Yao went to greet the old lady, as soon as she returned to Tingfang Courtyard, someone came to greet her, "Princess Jingwen invites you to taste tea at the Yuming Teahouse." ”

Tao Yao frowned.

When she met Jingwen in Chen Guogong's mansion yesterday, she knew that she would not let her go so easily, but she didn't expect that she would come to the door so quickly.

knew that it was not good for the other party to find her, but she couldn't help but go.

Thinking, she sighed and got up resignedly.

When she went out, she met Lu Jiuyuan, who came back from the next dynasty, her heart moved, and she hurriedly ran over, "Uncle Nine." ”

Lu Jiuyuan's footsteps paused slightly, looked sideways at her, and saw her beautiful little face, with an obviously flattering smile, frowning slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you have something to do?" Tao Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him eagerly.

Lu Jiuyuan paused and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Is that urgent?" Tao Yao hurriedly asked.

"It's not in a hurry." Lu Jiuyuan said lightly.

"Then, that ninth uncle will accompany me to go shopping, okay?" Tao Yao immediately asked.

"Shopping?" Lu Jiuyuan paused and looked at her in some surprise.

"That's right." Tao Yao's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "I heard that the refreshments in the Yuming Tea House are delicious, let's go eat together." ”

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan's deep dark eyes glanced at her, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "What trouble have you encountered?" ”

Tao Yao stagnated.

This man is too perceptive, isn't he?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Jiuyuan urged in a low voice, "Say it." ”

Tao Yao hesitated, and finally told him about Jingwen inviting her to tea.

After Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he immediately understood.

"If there is anything in the future, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Tao Yao lowered his head, "Got it." ”

Lu Jiuyuan's gaze paused on the top of her jet-black hair, and then said, "I'll go change my clothes and wait for me." ”

"Okay." Tao Yao's eyes lit up and nodded obediently.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, raised his feet and left.

As soon as he left, Tao Yao was just about to find a place to sit, when Lu Hao suddenly ran over.

"Aunt Jiu, you are here, let me find it easily."

Tao Yaoqi said: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

"Of course I'm playing with you." Lu Hao said as a matter of course.

The corners of Tao Yao's mouth twitched, "You can play with your brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Hao frowned and said: "They either want to study, or they want to embroider, I think about it, the most idle person in the mansion is only you, so I have to come to play with you." ”

Tao Yao: "......"

"Aunt Jiu, where are you going to play later?" Lu Hao asked excitedly.

Tao Yao glanced at him, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him, "I'm not going anywhere." ”

"Really?" Lu Hao touched his little chin and looked incredulous, "But I see that you clearly look like you're going out." ”

Tao Yao laughed angrily at him, stretched out his finger and gently poked his little head, "I'm going to go shopping with your ninth uncle in a while, it's inconvenient to take you." ”

"Why is it inconvenient? I'm good to bring. Lu Hao frowned.

"It's just inconvenient anyway." Tao Yao deliberately accentuated his tone.

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was clear, "Okay, I know." ”

Seeing his deep look, Tao Yao asked curiously, "What do you know?" ”

"You said today that you went shopping with Uncle Nine, but you actually went to cultivate feelings. It's inconvenient to take me, because I'm afraid I'll see the picture of you two making love. Lu Hao said clearly.

Tao Yao: "......"
