Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 158

Meixue contended for the spring and refused to fall, so the poet put down his pen to comment on the chapter.Meixu is three points less white than snow, but snow is less fragrant than plum.

It's deep winter.

The wintersweet in the yard is in bloom, and the delicate plum blossoms are extraordinarily dazzling in a world of ice and snow.

Xu Ruqing lay on the soft couch and closed her eyes for a rest, but she had something on her mind, even when she was resting, her brows were subconsciously frowned.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's birthday will be in three days, Xu Ruqing still has no idea about the birthday gift. It's not that she hasn't thought of a way these days, but she chooses and chooses, and every time she asks Su Yichen for his opinion, he always has some rebuttals.

It's either that the meaning is bad, or that it's too cheap to sell... Xu Ruqing wants to cry, but there are so many details about how to choose a gift!
"Princess, Yan Ji asks to see you."

Zhiqu's voice came from outside the door, Xu Ruqing didn't even raise his eyes, and said lazily: "Tell her that my concubine is not free, see you."

This gorgeous girl has lived in Wei Wangfu for a month since the last time, and she comes and goes as freely as her own home, Xu Ruqing already finds her very unpleasant!

Su Yichen explained the reason to her before, and she didn't want to appear too petty. Besides, if she really drove Yan Ji away, that man would definitely say that he liked him again, so he felt a sense of crisis. What nonsense... Xu Ruqing felt his fists itch every time he thought of his beating expression.

Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Princess really doesn't plan to see me? I brought good things." Yan Ji appeared at the door.

Xu Ruqing slowly opened her beautiful eyes upon hearing this.

Qiu Ju couldn't stop her no matter what, she said apologetically: "Princess, my servant said you were resting and wouldn't let her in, but she..."

Xu Ruqing understood and waved her hand to signal her to back down.

"Come in and talk. Zhiqu, prepare tea." As the saying goes, if you don't reach out and don't hit the smiling face, people come to visit with things, and you can't be rude.

Yan Ji walked in slowly and stopped three steps away from Xu Ruqing.

Yan Ji is wearing bright clothes today, no, it should be said that she has been wearing bright clothes all the time.A red dress dragged the floor, and the eight-leather ribbon inlaid with emeralds outlined the already slender waist more gracefully and exquisitely.Her face is snake-like, her chin is sharp and sharp, and the mist in her phoenix eyes seems to hide all kinds of tenderness... How many men can not fall in love with such a charming beauty?
While Xu Ruqing was looking at Yan Ji, Yan Ji was also looking at her.Compared with Yan Ji, she looked plain in a white dress.

Yan Ji picked up the tea brought by Zhiqu, took a sip and said: "The princess is worthy of being a princess, even the tea she drinks is extremely rare, Yan Ji is so envious."

"This concubine is not good at drinking tea, if you like it, bring some back."

"How embarrassing is this? How can Yan Ji, who belongs to the princess, win her love? If Yan Ji wants to, she must make her own efforts to let it come into my hands willingly."

"I don't think you came here just to have a sip of tea with me. Tell me, why did you see this concubine?" Xu Ruqing's patience was limited, and she was too lazy to listen to her nonsense.

Yan Ji didn't rush to answer, but took out a delicate wooden box from her cuff, opened it and handed it to Xu Ruqing.

Inside the wooden box lies a nobile. The head of the nobile is a lifelike nine-tailed phoenix. Each feather of the phoenix's tail is inlaid with a very beautiful blue agate. Good stuff for cheap.However, the color and style of the gold look a little old, and this nobile is probably a bit old.

"This is?" Xu Ruqing was puzzled.

"Yanji knows that the princess is worried about what birthday gift to give to the queen mother, so she came here to show her kindness in return for her kindness of living in the palace for a month."

Xu Ruqing frowned upon hearing this.Yo, she also feels embarrassed knowing that she has lived in the palace for a month!

"There are many more precious jewelry than this gold hairpin, why do you think this concubine would choose it?"

Yan Ji smiled: "I don't know the princess. This hairpin is called Jiuyu Fengchai. It is a token of love from the first emperor of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty to the first queen, because it has a very special meaning. This hairpin has been in the hands of successive queens for generations. According to legend, after the death of the Empress Dowager, the nine-feathered phoenix hairpin also disappeared strangely, and the inheritance in the hands of the Empress Dowager is equivalent to breaking."

The Empress Dowager, named Empress Huiwen, is the mother-in-law of the current Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, who passed away ten years ago with an unknown cause of death.Immediately after her death, the Nine Feathers Phoenix Chai also disappeared strangely. This incident was full of uproar at the time, and there were various theories.

Some people speculated that it was because the Empress Dowager was reluctant to part with this piece, so she took it away after her death.Some also said that the nine-feather phoenix hairpin was very valuable, and it might have been stolen... But more people said that the Empress Dowager did not recognize the daughter-in-law of the Empress Xiaoxian, who was also an imperial concubine, so she gave the gold hairpin as a gift. Others, to show their determination not to accept the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, as for who to give it to, it is another matter.

"If the princess can give this hairpin to the Queen Mother at the birthday banquet, I believe the Queen Mother will be very happy."

Xu Ruqing withdrew her gaze and looked at Yan Ji, who was smiling like a flower: "How can something that has disappeared for ten years be in your hands?"

"It's a long story. All in all, Yan Ji also obtained this hairpin by accident. She wanted to give it to the Queen Mother herself. However, my status is low and I am not qualified to be a gift. So Yan Ji wants to send it to the Queen Mother. With a heart, it doesn't matter who sent it, what matters is that the Queen Mother can be happy."

Xu Ruqing looked at Yan Ji's flawless face, when she said this, it was true, it didn't look like a fake.

"It not only solves the urgent need of my concubine, but also fulfills your wish by the way. This kind of transaction can kill two birds with one stone. This concubine will not disagree. Don't worry, Miss Xu, this concubine will definitely send the nine-feathered phoenix hairpin to the queen mother as you wish." hand."

When Yan Ji heard this, a gleam of success flashed in her eyes, but she concealed it very well so that no one saw it. "That's very good, then Yan Ji is here to thank the princess, Yan Ji is leaving."

Xu Ruqing nodded with a smile, and then Yan Ji slowly exited the attic.

"Princess." After Yan Ji left completely, Zhiqu came out from behind the screen.

"What's the matter?"

Zhiqu's face was full of worry: "That Yanji has malicious intentions at first glance. She regards you as an enemy, so how can she be kind enough to help you? Princess, you must not..."

"Hush..." Xu Ruqing raised her index finger to press Zhiqu's mouth.

Zhiqu was startled slightly, and fell silent.

"Did you hear?"

Shaking his head ignorantly.

Xu Ruqing was playing with the hairpin, his eyes were dim and unclear: "The snake didn't lure, but it came out of its own hole..."
