Chapter 479 Lotus Hairpin and Plum Blossom Hairpin
However, her aunt was the person she admired and wanted to learn from. It was precisely because her aunt was ruthless that she was able to stand firm in the harem for nearly twenty years and enjoy the emperor's favor.
"Aunt is truly omnipotent, and I, your niece, really admire you very much," Liang Yueru complimented with a heartfelt compliment.
Concubine Liang was very touched by the praise and advised her niece: "Learn more from your aunt. When you sit in that position in the future, you should be like her."
"Yes, thank you for your teaching, aunt," Liang Yueru said respectfully.
At this time, a eunuch who was kneeling on the ground wiping the floor paused for a moment and then continued to wipe the floor diligently without saying a word.
The ground he wiped was spotless, which was a mirror for us.
This eunuch was Tang Dahe.
Because he loved cleanliness and was good at cleaning and tidying up, he was transferred to Yaohua Palace to work.
Of course, his secret operations were indispensable behind this.
Only by going deep into the enemy camp can we obtain the most useful information.
Only by helping the Seventh Prince succeed as soon as possible can he leave the palace as soon as possible.
Moreover, Xiao Huai said that he could help him repair his vitals, and he was full of expectations.
It is precisely because he has dreams and expectations in his heart that he is now full of energy and enthusiasm every day.
He had taken a powerful pill, so the cleaning job at Yaohua Palace was not tiring at all for him.
After returning to his residence, Tang Dahe immediately wrote a letter, tied it to the little sparrow Diandian's body, and let it fly away.
In order to facilitate the delivery of the letter, Gu Qinghuai caught two sparrows, fed them various pills, and placed them with Tang Dahe.
Tang Dahe named the two new sparrows Diandian and Doudou.
Gu Qinghuai was very happy when he received Tang Dahe's letter.
In the letter, Tang Dahe revealed two things: one was that Concubine Liang Shu and Liang Yueru helped Liang Qianxi plot against Qi Yuanshuo and poison Gu Qinghuai; the other was that Concubine Liang Shu and the third prince found a Taoist priest who made elixirs, and the mother and son were feeding the elixir to the emperor. The emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and the Taoist priest estimated that the emperor could only hold on for two more years at most.
These two pieces of news are so important!
Gu Qinghuai immediately found Qi Yuanshuo, and the two discussed countermeasures together in the room.
A few days later, both of them received invitations to a lotus viewing banquet from the palace.
This was a post issued in the name of the emperor, so they had to go.
This time when attending the banquet in the palace, the female relatives will definitely compete with each other for beauty. Qi Yuanshuo naturally does not want those female relatives to squeeze out Gu Qinghuai in terms of clothing and jewelry.
He wanted to buy the most expensive and beautiful jewelry and clothes for Sister Xiaohuai.
So these few days, he planned to visit the jewelry shops and clothing stores in the imperial capital.
He took a fancy to a white jade hairpin with water chestnut flowers, which was very beautiful. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, a slender little hand reached out to him.
Fortunately, Qi Yuanshuo reacted quickly and stopped in time, so he did not touch the hand.
He frowned and turned his head unhappily, then saw a girl with a pointed chin and big eyes holding the hairpin.
The girl looked up and saw that it was Qi Yuanshuo. She hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying, "So you are the brave young general. I, Zhou Cuiwan, greet you!"
When Qi Yuanshuo returned to the imperial capital, many people gathered around him. He was not surprised to be recognized, but he was slightly startled when he heard her name.
Zhou Cuiwan?
Zhou Cuiwan, the niece of Zhou Lizheng of Zhoujia Village?
Sister Xiaohuai often mentioned her and asked him to be careful of her.
Qi Yuanshuo took a step back.
Seeing Qi Yuanshuo frowning and not speaking, Zhou Cuiwan immediately handed over the hairpin in her hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, little general, I accidentally liked the same hairpin as you. You must have bought it for the Princess of Qinghe County. Well, I'm willing to help you."
Qi Yuanshuo glanced at the hairpin in her hand and said coldly: "No need."
The hairpin was taken by Zhou Cuiwan, who thought it was dirty.
The gift for Sister Xiaohuai must be unique.
Qi Yuanshuo turned around and strode away without even glancing at Zhou Cuiwan.
Zhou Cuiwan wanted to say something, but she could only open her mouth and stand there in disappointment.
It seems that the Seventh Prince is still the same as in his previous life, cold and unapproachable.
But why was he so gentle and doting on Gu Qinghuai, a widow who had given birth to a child? He even bought her such an expensive hairpin himself.
Why does Gu Qinghuai do that? !
Zhou Cuiwan was filled with jealousy and gently put the hairpin back to its place. The hairpin cost one thousand two taels of silver, which she could not afford at all.
She had deliberately tried to snatch the hairpin just now because she wanted to have some physical contact with the Seventh Prince.
In the previous life, the Female Treasure System rewarded a book that specifically taught women how to seduce men. One of the tips was to use subtle physical contact to make the other person feel special about you.
But the Seventh Prince's reaction speed was too fast. He was afraid of being touched by her, as if she was stinking dog shit.
Alas, such a good opportunity was wasted.
These days, she had been staring at Bi Hai Xuan from afar. When she saw the Seventh Prince go out, she pretended to be a passerby and followed him from a distance.
Fortunately, she was just an ordinary person, blending into the crowd, just like those crazy girls who secretly followed the young general, and could not attract the young general's attention.
Zhou Cuiwan left the jewelry shop in a daze.
Qi Yuanshuo went to all the jewelry stores in the capital and finally bought a lotus hairpin that he liked. The column of the lotus jade hairpin is carved from extremely precious red sandalwood. There is a blooming pink and white lotus on the hairpin head, two emerald green lotus leaves, and a bud about to bloom at the head of the hairpin. The color combination of deep red, pink and white, and emerald green is fresh and eye-catching, extremely elegant and refined, and very suitable for Sister Huai.
After Qi Yuanshuo bought the lotus hairpin, he carefully placed it in the jewelry box and then returned home excitedly.
Gu Qinghuai was playing with Xiao Huhu. Qi Yuanshuo took out a lotus hairpin, looked at her lovingly, and gently inserted it into her bun.
Then he took out a mirror and placed it in front of Gu Qinghuai, and said softly, "Sister Xiaohuai, do you like it?"
Gu Qinghuai looked at the beautiful and delicate lotus hairpin on her bun in the mirror, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly: "It looks good, very good, I like it very much, thank you, Xiao Shitou."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Qi Yuanshuo was so happy that he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her gently on the lips. This scene was seen by Xiao Yueshi who just stepped into the courtyard.
Xiao Yueshi stood there in a daze, also holding a hairpin in his hand, but it was a pink plum blossom hairpin, which he had chosen after careful selection.
He saw the eye-catching lotus hairpin on Gu Qinghuai's bun and the two of them kissing passionately. He felt a dull pain in his heart and silently hid the plum blossom hairpin in his sleeve, then left quietly.
The midday sun is a bit blinding.
Xiao Yueshi's mind was filled with the scene of the two of them kissing passionately.
He thought he was magnanimous enough to watch Xiao Huai get married and have children, and have sex with other men, but that passionate kiss still made him jealous.
Xiao Yueshi looked up, looked at the mottled shadows of the old trees, and took a deep breath.
He had to adjust his mentality. Just imagine, if Xiao Huai completely left his sight from then on, he would definitely not be able to accept it. So, watching her and Qi Yuanshuo making love was nothing.
