Chapter 99
Speaking of value, the Bohai jade long hairpin was not the most expensive, nor was it the most gorgeous - the only precious one was made by him himself.Originally thought that even if he changed his mind and moved his feelings, at least he still had memories, but now even the memories are about to be shattered.

"My lord." Ning Yuyao turned her wonderful eyes slightly, and pointed to the jade hairpin, "I really like that Bohai jade hairpin, but the princess is not willing to part with it. You can tell the queen to lend me to wear it for a few days, and then return it." To the princess."

Lend her to wear it for a few days, and then return it to yourself later?
Xian Hui chuckled, what she said was more disgusting than taking away the hairpin.

It's a pity that Gao Chen said: "What do you borrow? Let the princess give it to you."

Xianhui's heart stabbed suddenly, although she couldn't feel the pain anymore, she knew that her heart was bleeding.This is him, he doesn't even keep the last thought for himself!The last bit of decency is not left for myself!To push myself to the very end.

Gao Chen stretched out his hand towards her, and said ruthlessly, "Bring it."

Xianhui looked at him angrily. After holding back for so many days, she finally couldn't help asking angrily: "Your lord, do you still remember how did this hairpin come from?! You want me to give it away now!"

Her eyes were burning, as if a raging fire could burn everything.

Gao Chen glanced at the hairpin, but it seemed... he didn't recall any special memories.

He said softly, "It's just a hairpin."

It's just a hairpin, that's all...

Xianhui's heart seemed to be tightly strangled by cotton thread, it was thin and painful, the pain was so painful that all limbs could not help shaking, and the pain was so painful that the whole body was about to shatter.It turns out...he forgot what he built for himself, but he can give it to others.

He raised his eyes angrily, looked at that handsome face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and wanted to see clearly, was he still the one he knew?Why are the identical skins filled with completely different tenderness and ruthlessness?

Gao Chen also looked at her without flinching.

He could see that there was a little wet tear in her eyes, full of tears, which made her originally clear black and white eyes a little bit more compassionate.Her eyes were red, and the clear tears seemed to be stained with blood, bit by bit, layer by layer, silently blurring in the air, revealing a distressed and gorgeous look.

"Gao Chen, you really don't remember?" Xianhui's heart choked up, and she asked the last sentence.

Gao Chen frowned and thought about it, but finally said: "I don't remember."

"Okay, okay..." Xianhui nodded repeatedly and smiled, "I don't remember, okay."

"My lord." Ning Yuyao looked at the eyes that were on the verge of shattering, and couldn't bear it, she couldn't help but flinch, and said in a small voice: "Or...? I don't want to be a concubine, I already have a lot of jewelry... ..."

Gao Chen interrupted her, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Ning Yuyao quickly stopped talking and lowered her head.

Xianhui held back the pain from the needles in her heart, and said with a light smile, "Hehe." The more she laughed, the more she laughed at herself, "People are not worth cherishing, so why should things be cherished? Well, keeping them will only add to the troubles." The long hairpin passed it over and held it up high, "My lord is right, it's just a hairpin."

The next moment, "Ding...", the long hairpin fell to the ground, and was smashed to pieces!
——Some things are broken and cannot be viewed by people.

Gao Chen looked at the broken long hairpin on the ground, and felt a sudden tug in his heart, - she is the kind of person who looks weak and soft on the outside, but is actually tough and decisive in her heart.It's easy to break her heart, and it's not difficult to make her hate herself, but once she really cuts off her love with a sword, why continue in the future?

At this moment, a trace of regret inevitably flashed across my heart.

Because he knew clearly that at this very moment, he had pushed her out with his own hands.

Do you regret it?regret.

But compared to the possibility that she might fail and die, and plunge her into grief for the rest of her life, she would rather arrange all the escape routes for her, so that the person who may suffer in the end is herself.

Otherwise, I couldn't send her away with peace of mind.

Xianhui smiled softly, "My lord, I'm sorry, my concubine accidentally broke the hairpin." Pointing to the box, it was full of jewelry that was married to Gao's family, so there is no need to keep it, "These... Just give it to Madam Ning."

Let her wear it, let her wear it all!It is best to wear it in front of yourself every day, remind yourself that you have been tempted by such a ruthless man, and tell yourself not to make the same mistake again.

"Take it away." Xianhui said coolly, "Take it all away."

Gao Chen could see clearly, the last flame of love and hatred in her eyes was also extinguished.

Xianhui turned around and went inside without nostalgia.

Gao Chen moved his fingers, instinctively wanting to grab her hand, but in the end, he just said to Ning Yuyao: "Take all these jewelry back, and wear them when you enter the palace during the Chinese New Year..." That beautiful figure , even after hearing such words, she didn't stop her footsteps at all, and disappeared behind the crystal bead curtain.

His heart was suddenly empty, as if someone had taken away the most precious thing.

In the Ziwei Pavilion, Gao Chen had already drank two full jugs of wine, this is the third jug.

"My lord?" Ning Yuyao looked at something wrong, stepped forward and whispered: "Otherwise, why don't you drink it tomorrow? Don't hurt your body..."

Gao Chen raised his eyes abruptly, and the cold light shot out, like the light of a sharp sword with murderous intent!

His voice was cold, "Go out, don't make me say it a second time."

Ning Yuyao was so frightened that she backed away.

How could I have forgotten that Prince Jing was a great general who had commanded thousands of troops. He had killed countless people on the battlefield, and his hands were stained with blood.How could you try to get close to him just because he was acting tenderly to himself these days?The expression in his eyes at this moment is like a bloodthirsty beast!
If it was a moment later, he might have been trampled to pieces, not even scum left.

"Okay, okay..." Ning Yuyao was at a loss for words, her face was flustered, and she fled out in a panic.

Gao Chen drank another jug ​​of wine, then walked to the window, the moonlight outside the window was bright, and the cold moonlight was projected down, casting a light layer of silver frost on the yard.One direction inside the palace is the main courtyard, where... she lives, and she lives with her heartbroken by herself.

Xian Hui... If I die, you will really forget me completely.

fair enough.

The next day, Ning Yuyao took a chance to meet her brother and told her everything about yesterday.

"Brother, I'm really scared." She was wronged and terrified, "You don't know, the look in the prince's eyes looks like he wants to eat people. After I ran out in fright, my legs were still weak for a long time. I didn't fall asleep all night."

Ning Yuxi comforted her sister a few words, and then said: "It's okay. From now on, you can do whatever the prince asks you to do. If he doesn't ask you to do it, don't worry about it." The corners of her lips curled up, "Don't try to do it. Pity the prince, sympathize with the prince, and even comfort him, that kind of thing is not something you can do."

He also warned, "Not to mention, fall in love with him."

Not only because of Gao Chen's fearfulness, but also because he knows how much Gao Chen cares about the concubine—he will protect the concubine even if he may be injured in the end, how could he let other women get close?Let's talk about Yuyao's matter, if it's someone else, even if it's because of tricks, it's not like taking people in naturally.

But what about the prince?His younger sister is clearly pretty, but he has no idea.Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking, "You met the princess, is she beautiful?"

"It's very beautiful." Ning Yuyao nodded, "And... I can't say for sure, I just think that only the concubine can get close to the prince, and other women probably can't."

Ning Yuxi sighed and said: "It's good that you are clear in your heart, I'm afraid that you will accidentally become confused."

Ning Yuyao looked a little uncomfortable, "Well, it won't happen."

Not anymore?Ning Yuxi heard the subtle concealment in these words, that is to say, did my sister have such muddled thoughts before?It's no wonder that the prince himself is too outstanding and handsome, and he plays with his younger sister, pretending to be gentle, I'm afraid there are not many girls who don't fall into it.

Fortunately, such a scare finally woke up my sister.

The following days were calm and uneventful, and in a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.This year's Chinese New Year is of great significance to the original branch of Prince Qing's Mansion - from a side branch of the royal family to a direct line, one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, and everyone's faces are beaming.

But this kind of joy is not appropriate to show off, but to pretend to be more restrained, more in line with the royal style.

On the contrary, Prince Jing, who has a new concubine, is more suitable for whispering.

Xianhui knew that today she would be talked about, scrutinized, and ridiculed, so she just stared at the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, as if fascinated by the patterns on it.

However, she didn't want to cause trouble, but others couldn't hold back.

For example, Princess Xiaohe walked over slowly, pretending to watch the lanterns in the river, and her voice drifted over, "Sister-in-law Si made me devote my heart to Buddha, which is actually quite good, but the life is a little cleaner." She pursed her lips and smiled. , "It can't compare to Sisao's house, which is full of excitement and life is fun."

How could Xianhui not hear the sarcasm in her words?He said nonchalantly: "If you're lonely, you can have someone take you to the capital after Hengzhi gives birth to a child."

"You..." Princess Xiaohe suddenly turned his head back, his eyes were extremely sharp, and then he covered his face and smiled, "Hengzhi can just let her stay in Jiangdu, anyway, she gave birth to a child of the Lu family, surnamed Lu, and The royal family has nothing to do with it, and it has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, the young and beautiful Mrs. Ning is favored again. If she gives birth to a child, she will be the eldest son of the fourth brother."

"So what?" Xianhui stroked the agate pendant on her ear, got up and glanced at her, "The concubine gave birth to a child, and it was the mistress's, not the concubine's, so I will naturally raise it well." With a sneer, "On the contrary, you who have become a monk will never have the chance in this life to know what a man is and what it is to have a child."

After speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Xiaohe Princess was trembling with anger in the back, clenching her teeth tightly to keep herself from making a sound!Today is a day of great joy for the Chinese New Year, and it is not suitable to file a complaint.Besides, if you want to file a complaint, you have to start from the beginning to the end. These words are all deliberately provoked by yourself, and it doesn't make sense.

I hate that Shao Xianhui is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, he is simply a thorn in the side!There are thorns all over the body.

Right now, the banquet has not yet started. In the imperial garden, everyone is talking in twos and threes, very freely.And Gao Chen was answering in front of Emperor Qing at the moment.

"I heard that you have adopted a new wife?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Yes." Gao Chen called Ning Yuyao over, saluted the emperor, and then told her to step down after the cutscene, explaining: "Although Yuyao is not outstanding, she has a soft temper and is easy to get along with. Let your son relax together."

"Yes." Emperor Qing nodded, "That's right, Xianhui's temper is too strong."

To the emperor, the fourth daughter-in-law was a restless master no matter how beautiful and smart she was.Although she was framed by someone and felt wronged, she was aggressive every time and did not hold back at all.

He sighed: "Women, it's better to be gentle."

Gao Chen's heart skipped a beat, sure enough... Father has always had complaints about Xianhui.In this way, it is even more unsuitable for her to stay in the capital.Otherwise, if she fails, what awaits her will only be death without a place to bury her!
On the other end, Empress Zhou dismissed the crowd and comforted Xianhui, "Don't worry too much about things like concubine's room. Look at me, don't you live well for decades? You are young, don't worry about it." Now that Niu Jiaojian and the fourth child are arguing, what can the couple have to say? They each take a step back, and they are as good as before."

Xianhui bowed her head and listened, "Yes, my daughter-in-law remembers."

Empress Zhou tugged at her, and said in a low voice: "Don't be confused, you just ignored the fourth child in order to argue with a small concubine. If you don't know the seriousness, let Mrs. Naning give birth to the child first." , but just like your sister-in-law, the concubines dare to fight against her."

Xianhui's heart warmed upon hearing this.

Although I understand that my mother-in-law is worried, the indiscrimination between the concubine and the concubine will make the youngest son's house never peaceful.But no matter what, it's all about talking to me from the bottom of my heart.Although she couldn't do things to please Gao Chen for the time being, she still didn't want to disappoint her mother-in-law's good intentions, so she responded gently, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will spend more time with the prince when I go back."

Empress Zhou nodded with a satisfied smile, "That's good, I won't repeat myself."

Xian Hui forced a smile.

Seeing that they were almost done talking, Princess Wuyang came over, interjected and said with a smile: "Okay, the queen mother only cares about talking to Xianhui, leaving all her daughters behind." She made a joke, and then went to Tui Xianhui, "Today is New Year's Eve, everyone is happy, don't be angry. But don't worry, I will tell you about the fourth child when I have time later. gone."

She grew up in a pampered environment, and everything went smoothly. Not only did she have a strong temper, but also her status seemed similar.

Even Zhou Qiao came to join in the fun, humming: "Fourth aunt, I will help you too."

Xian Hui had already prepared her heart well, but her heart became cold, and after being cared by her mother-in-law, aunt, and niece, her heart was sour and her eyes were moist.Blinking his eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Don't talk about these trivial things today, everyone should be happy."

Princess Wuyang smiled and said: "Don't be so moved that you piss. When I ask you to make something later, don't be lazy." She stretched out her slender fingers dyed with Kodan, "Just make a purse that matches the color of my ring. .”

Xianhui smiled, "Okay, I'll go to the princess's mansion later, and let you choose the color and material." I just happened to go out for a stroll, so I wouldn't have to stay in Prince Jing's mansion all day, seeing those bad people and bad things .

Empress Zhou joked, "It turns out that you supported Xianhui because of her things."

"I also want a purse and a handkerchief." Zhou Qiao smiled and made fun of Xian Hui, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Okay, I'll do it for you." Xianhui knew in her heart that in the royal family, what would they want?No matter how good my needlework is, I may not be better than the people from the Needlework Bureau. My husband is not good, but fortunately the people from my in-laws are good, and I am lucky.

The laughter here was a little louder, making Gao Chen take advantage of the situation to look over.

She is dressed gorgeously tonight, with her hair in blue silk made into a fairy-like bun, with nine tails and a big phoenix hairpin holding rubies and dripping beads, red gold inlaid with Ziying stone beads, and matched with the gold and silver silk Luan worn by the prince and concubine. Niao Chao's phoenix embroidered court dress set off her bright eyes and bright teeth, with a special color, and all the female relatives were overshadowed in front of her.

She is too eye-catching, so Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng must destroy her.

Not only the concubine, Xiaohe and others have trouble with her, even the emperor is disliked by her. Fortunately, she is kind and gentle in heart, and the queen mother and elder sister still like her.

Originally, at this kind of time, I should be with her in front of my mother, laughing and joking, but... I turned around and took a glass of wine from Ning Yuyao, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ning Yuyao felt uncomfortable being scrutinized by everyone, and she didn't dare to say much. She kept smiling to the point where she almost froze.

After Gao Chen finished drinking, he looked at her gently and smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"No." Ning Yuyao shook her head, just wanting to quickly end this uncomfortable banquet.

In contrast, Xianhui is much more calm and elegant.

It was only natural for her to be happy in front of the queen, no matter how much other people laughed in their hearts, they would not dare to come to the queen to laugh, and the dinner was fairly peaceful.After the grand and magnificent banquet, they watched songs and dances and watched theatre. Today they made an exception and the banquet was over until the new moon rose.

On the way back, something that caused Xianhui torment happened again.

——Must take the same car with Gao Chen.

When they came just now, the two sat in the palace without talking, and now they are going to sit in silence with each other back to the palace. The air in the carriage is frozen, and it is difficult to breathe.Gao Chen didn't say a word, Xianhui turned away, lifted the curtain, and looked at the blessing lanterns slowly rising in the night sky.
