After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 44 Tao Yao asks Lu Jiuyuan to go shopping
After Tao Yao washed up, she sat on the bed, playing with the headgear given to her by the Eldest Princess.

At this time, Xi'er, who was tidying her clothes by the cage, saw a box, put it there casually, opened it, picked it up quickly, and asked for instructions: "Miss, did you forget this thing? "

Tao Yao saw the box she was holding in her hand, and was stunned for a moment. She couldn't remember what it was, and asked, "What is that?"

"Miss, have you forgotten?" Xi'er was a little surprised, "On the eve of your wedding, someone brought it to you, but after that, we couldn't find that person no matter what."

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, she was still amazed by what was inside.

Inside is a graceful, luxurious, pearly, exquisite and beautiful tiara.

There are probably hundreds of pearls on it, and many rubies are also used as embellishments.

The workmanship is very delicate and ingenious.

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

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

It was only when Xi'er was sorting out that he discovered this.

But when I looked back, I couldn't find the person who gave the gift anymore, because this item was not registered in the registration booklet.

In addition to the beautiful tiara, there was also a note in the box, writing that the phoenix crown was specially made for her, and it was a wedding gift for her.

Although the tiara is beautiful, its origin is unknown after all, so she did not wear it on the wedding day.

But for some reason, this crown entered the Duke's Mansion together with her dowry.

But to be able to create such a crown, the people behind it must not be easy.

But, why didn't the other party show up?
With such a bold move, it seems that he has a lot of friendship with the Tao family.

Tao Yao thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

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

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

Tao Yao yawned, pulled the quilt and lay down.

After Xi'er extinguished a few candles, she closed the door and retreated out.

……

At this time, the atmosphere in the East Palace was solemn and solemn, because the prince was assassinated and seriously injured when he went out.

Several imperial physicians gathered around the bed, treating and bandaging Prince Qi Yan.

Due to excessive blood loss, Qi Yan's complexion was a little pale.

But he forced himself to sit there, and said to Lu Jiuyuan who sent him back: "Tonight, thanks to the Duke for saving me."

If Tao Ling and the others were here, they would be surprised to see him.

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

"The crown prince is serious, I just happened to meet you." Lu Jiuyuan said lightly, his black eyes slightly closed.

Qi Yan smiled wryly, "I never imagined that I just went to see a play on a whim, but I was assassinated, and I almost never came back."

Lu Jiuyuan reminded: "Since it's a whim, how can the people behind the scenes know the prince's whereabouts?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Duke Guo is right, it seems that there may be a mole in this lonely East Palace."

Seeing that he understood, Lu Jiuyuan said, "It's getting late, the prince should rest early, and I will leave first."

Qi Yan nodded, "Duke, go slowly."

After Lu Jiuyuan left, Qi Yan gave some instructions to his confidant.

That night, the East Palace quietly carried out a cleansing and uncovered several traitors.

……

The next day, Duke Lu's mansion.

After Tao Yao went to pay her respects to the old lady, she had just returned to Tingfang Court when a servant came to report, "Princess Jingwen invites you to Yuming Tea House for tea."

Tao Yao frowned.

When she met Jingwen at 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.

Knowing that it would be no good for the other party to find her, she still had to go.

Thinking about it, she sighed and got up resignedly.

When she was going out, she met Lu Jiuyuan who was coming back from the next court. Her heart moved and she ran over, "Uncle Jiu."

Lu Jiuyuan paused slightly, looked sideways at her, and saw her pretty 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, nodded, "Yes."

"Are you in a hurry?" Tao Yao asked quickly.

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

"Then, Uncle Jiu will accompany me to go shopping, okay?" Tao Yao immediately asked.

"Shopping?" Lu Jiuyuan paused, looking at her in surprise.

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

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her with deep black eyes, fell silent for a while, and said, "What trouble have you encountered?"

Tao Yao froze.

Isn't this man too sharp?

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Jiuyuan urged in a low voice, "Speak."

Tao Yao hesitated for a while, and finally told him about Jing Wen's invitation to drink tea.

After Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he immediately understood.

"Whatever happens in the future, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Tao Yao lowered her head, "Understood."

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes paused on the top of her jet-black hair, and he said immediately, "I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me."

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

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her and walked away.

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

"Aunt Nine, you are here, let me have a good meal to find you."

Tao Yao wondered, "What do you want me for?"

"Of course I want to play with you." Lu Hao said naturally.

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

Lu Hao frowned and said, "They either want to study, or they want to embroider. After thinking about it, you are the only person who has the most leisure time in the whole house, so I have no choice but to come and play with you."

Tao Yao: "..."

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

Tao Yao glanced at him and couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "I'm not going anywhere."

"Really?" Lu Hao rubbed his chin with a look of disbelief, "But I see that you clearly look like you are going out."

Tao Yao laughed angrily at him, and poked his little head lightly with her fingers, "I'm going to go shopping with your uncle Jiu soon, so it's inconvenient to take you with me."

"Why is it inconvenient? I can easily take it with you." Lu Hao frowned.

"Anyway, it's inconvenient." Tao Yao deliberately emphasized her tone.

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then his face became clear, "Okay, I get it."

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

"You said today that you went shopping with Uncle Jiu, but you actually went to cultivate your relationship. It's not convenient to take me with you, because you are afraid that I will see the scene of you two being intimate." Lu Hao said clearly.

Tao Yao: "..."
