Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 586 A false alarm (first update)
Lingyi Temple bracelet?Safe gourd?The frightened Zhihui tilted her hand, and the mooncake almost slipped from the plate. Fortunately, Zhiruo had quick eyesight and quick hands, and held Zhihui's hand, smiling reassuringly at her.

Zhihui also wanted to laugh, but she really couldn't. Her little heart was still beating wildly. She was scared!She almost caused her eldest sister to be plotted against!

"A hundred strings of bracelets?" Pan Jiaming, who directly reached out to the plate and picked up a mooncake, asked curiously, "How do you know who has asked for this kind of bracelets? Even if you find out, do you have to ask for them one by one? Go find these [-] families and look at their bracelets one by one?"

"This silly boy," said the Queen Mother, who goes to Jueming Temple to chant sutras and pray for a month every year. She is very clear about some of the procedures in the temple. "The best consecrated holy objects are all those who have donated a large amount of sesame oil to the temple. Only those who can ask for it will keep records."

"Isn't that true?" Concubine De was always good-tempered, but she was in a good mood today and was even more patient. "Where can people choose such consecrated holy items? They all put their hands into the holy item box, and which one they get is which. This It’s opportunity! The opportunity between people and the consecrated holy items, the opportunity between people.”

"Oh," Pan Jiaming suddenly realized and found Mr. Li who was talking to someone not far away, "Brother Li, please show me what that marriage bracelet looks like? Let me learn more about it."

In full view of everyone, Mr. Li, a grown man, was still a little embarrassed. He shyly took off the jade beads bracelet and handed it to Pan Jiaming.

Pan Jiaming looked at it seriously with a curious look on his face: "It's still good jade, is it this Ping'an gourd? It seems to be a little different from the jade gourds on ordinary bracelets, bigger." Yesterday, Song gave it to Zhihui What's on that bracelet should be a small jade gourd.

Except when it was necessary to propose a marriage, the emperor had never been interested in the mysteries of these backyard women.He had also heard some rumors about Li Sanlang's murder of his wife. It was understandable that Concubine De and the Li family took great pains to do these things. He originally had no intention of paying attention and planned to talk to Marshal Xu about the departure of reinforcements tomorrow.But at this moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the excited Concubine De, Li Sanlang who looked slightly embarrassed, and Pan Jiaming, who was particularly curious today. Things were not simple!Let’s see, what kind of tricks can a string of peace bracelets consecrated from Lingyi Temple do?
"Not only is it bigger, but it also contains mysteries," Concubine De said with a smile. She took the bracelet and made a clever move with the jade gourd. She heard a "pop" sound and the jade gourd spread out from the middle. "Oh, it's magical." Well, it can put the peace gourd on the other string of marriage bracelets into it, and then close it intact. The two strings of bracelets become one string, so it is called the marriage bracelet, which means marriage is destined. My sister-in-law has already I checked the registration records of Lingyi Temple, haha..."

"But" Concubine De took time to catch her breath and was about to continue explaining when she was overtaken by the curious Pan Jiaming: "What if that bracelet is also begged by a man? Is it still destiny?"

"How is that possible?" Concubine De said amusedly, "We have already found out..."

"How is it impossible?" Pan Jiaming curled his lips, "Isn't it just a casual draw? Can't it be worn by both men and women? You can ask for bracelets for Brother Li San, but can't others also ask for bracelets for their own sons or brothers? ?”

"Isn't it?" The Queen Mother was also curious, "The master of Lingyi Temple has no other explanation? This bracelet looks like an ordinary peace bracelet. No one knows the mystery inside. What if this bracelet is worn on a person?" What should the old lady do with her hands?" It's not impossible, mainly because this Buddhist bead bracelet can be worn by anyone regardless of gender.The Queen Mother was a little worried about Li Sanlang. She found Concubine De and the Li family quite pleasing to her, especially Concubine De, who had a good temper and was filial to her.

"Since it is a consecrated holy product and destined to be married, naturally that situation will not happen. We have..." Concubine De, who looked as if she had been poured blood on her face, forced a smile and continued to explain, but was interrupted again. This time it was There was a "pop" sound from the prince's side, and then the little princess exclaimed, "Ah, the prince's brother also has a bracelet, won't it break?" She was small in age, short in stature, and had sharp eyes, so she could see clearly at a glance. Something fell from the prince's hand to the ground.

Pan Jiaming's eyes were bright: "Look, look, what did I say? Doesn't His Royal Highness also wear a bracelet like this? Oh, I look at the size of the jade gourd, it seems to be just enough to fit into this gourd. Here."

The prince, whose face looked like constipation, was about to bend down to pick up the bracelet, but Xiao Guizi, who had caught the emperor's eye, took a step ahead and turned his head to glare at Pan Jiajin.

The confused Pan Jiajin was confused and aggrieved.He just received a verbal message that the prince was looking for him and hurried over. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached behind the prince, his knees suddenly hurt and he staggered. Then, he accidentally bumped into the prince. It wasn't very hard, right?The prince also tilted his body.

Of course the prince knew that it was he who called Pan Jiajin, and he also knew that he didn't mean it, but he didn't come early or late. Just when he took off the bracelet from his hand and wanted to put it quietly into his sleeve pocket, he ran over and bumped into him. , if he doesn’t blame Pan Jiajin, who should he blame?

The emperor took the bracelet handed over by Xiao Guizi and looked at it carefully before looking at Concubine De: "Bring it here!"

Concubine De: "..." She subconsciously clenched the bracelet in her hand. "I said, bring it here," the emperor became impatient and glanced at Xiao Guizi again, "Go and bring that thing from Concubine De's hand."

What else does Concubine De dare to do?She obediently gave the bracelet to Xiao Guizi. Her head almost exploded. What was going on?Haven't you confirmed that Yin Zhiruo is indeed wearing a bracelet?She just came here.Why did the bracelet end up in the hands of the prince now?Even if you want to forcefully say that it fell from Yin Zhiruo, Yin Zhiruo is still standing next to the Queen Mother, far away from the Prince.

As soon as the emperor took the bracelet, he put it on the two jade gourds. With a "click" sound, the clothes were seamless.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my prince's mouth is so open," Pan Jiaming's exaggerated expression made Zhiruo feel a toothache. Why did she suddenly think he was so handsome just now?Where is the ruffian here?What a scoundrel!However, how could she feel at ease with this scoundrel?If there was any problem, he would solve it for her first.

Pan Jiaming didn't know Zhiruo's slander. He was still "indignant" on behalf of Mr. Li: "Marriage is destined by God? We, Brother Li San and His Royal Highness, are both great men. How can we have marriage by God? So I just said , not all great monks and Taoist priests are masters, do you think so, Empress Dowager De?"

"Yes...yes...but..." Concubine De said through gritted teeth with an embarrassed look on her face. The sharp look the emperor gave her made her almost kneel down. After being the emperor's woman for more than 20 years, how could she not know, The emperor is not so easy to fool, the more he doesn't speak, the more terrifying he is.

The emperor did not ask Concubine De, he asked the prince: "Prince, would you like to explain about this bracelet? You are the crown prince of a country. If there is news that you have nothing, where is the dignity of the royal family?"

The prince shuddered: Yes, there are so many people today. If there are any rumors that he and Mr. Li are destined to be married, wouldn't it become a joke on the streets?Does he, the prince, still have dignity?Can the crown prince still sit down?

"No, no," Concubine Qi suddenly realized, "This bracelet does not belong to Ji'er, but to Pan Yuanwailang. His noble concubine, Yinshi, asked for it on behalf of her natal sister. Aren't I curious after hearing this? Let Pan Yuanwailang bring it to this palace for a look."

Pan Jiajin, who had calmed down and realized something, was also smart. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that bracelet was exactly what Ms. Yin requested for Miss Yin, the eldest daughter of the third wife of the Yin family. The second girl has been lately. They were all helping to take care of the Yin family in the British government, and the Yin family was concerned about her sister’s marriage, so she went to Lingyi Temple to ask for this peace bracelet, but she didn’t expect it to be a marriage bracelet.”

"Aha," Pan Jiaming said happily, "Although my prince was slapped in the face so quickly, I am still happy for Brother Li San. It is finally a true destiny! Congratulations! My prince is thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if he is beaten. , If something comes out from His Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Li San...ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a false alarm." As he spoke, he patted his heart in an exaggerated manner.

"That's right, that's right." The Queen Mother was really cheering today: "Fortunately, it was a false alarm. You really wanted to say it out a long time ago, which made the Ai family worried." The last sentence was naturally a rebuke to Concubine Qi.It was rumored that her grandson was destined to get married to a man, which scared her to death!

Mr. Li: "..." Things changed too quickly and he hasn't even digested it yet. What should he say?Now that the matter has come before the Emperor, one mistake can be the crime of deceiving the Emperor!

Concubine De: "...I just want to say that we clearly found out that the person who got the other marriage bracelet was a girl. What happened just now made me scared." It is better to let Sanlang marry the girl from the third room of the Yin family than to pass it on. The prince is destined to be married, and the emperor will be able to explain it easily.She finally figured it out, it must be Concubine Qi and the Crown Prince who also reached out to the British Duke's Mansion, and it was Yin Zhiqing who moved their hands and feet.Didn't you see the expressions on the three Yin Zhiruo sisters' faces that they didn't know what was going on?

She was also careless. She had known for a long time that the prince was interested in Yin Zhiruo, and Concubine Qi specifically hit her with words. Why didn't she think of being wary of them?So it was the prince who led Yin Zhiqing to become Pan Jiajin's concubine.

"Okay, okay," the queen began to finish, "it was just a misunderstanding. Although it was a false alarm, the ending is still gratifying. If everyone looks at it like this again, Saburo must be uncomfortable, so everyone should leave. Today, I specially I asked people to make some lantern riddles in the pomegranate garden, and the winnings are quite good, hahaha, let’s go and see if we can bring back some more gifts.”
