The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 127 Gifts
"Princess, there are a lot of guests outside to give birthday presents. Are you going to have a banquet tonight?" Luzhu asked.

I shook my head and said, "Return the birthday presents one by one, and distribute the prepared wedding cakes to them. Just say that I am unwell, and I am resting on the couch. It is inconvenient to see guests, so let them go."

"But..." Luzhu wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she just said yes, then bowed her head and backed away.

About half an hour later, Lu Zhu came back to report, saying that everyone had left, so I hummed and asked her to prepare a few boxes of birthday cakes, and went to the palace to thank her, and then went to Prince Rong and Mrs. Ji Sitting in the house for a while.

The old prince Rong was very happy to see me, he insisted on me playing chess with him, the kindness was hard to refuse, so he played a game with him.Mrs. Ji's side is more enthusiastic, holding my hand, and never letting go when we chatted. When I leave the Hou Ye's mansion, it's already too late...

In the past, on birthdays, Rong Ziyang and Ji Yun would drag some people to set fire to the leg of lamb in the back garden of the princess mansion, but now that they are all in the frontier, I don't know what to do.

By the way, before returning to Shengjing, Su Huo said that there was a box in his study for me. Thinking of this, he got into the carriage and headed towards the General's Mansion.

Counting the time, since His Majesty bestowed a new residence, this is the first time I have returned to the General's Mansion.

Opening the car curtain and looking at it, the lion in front of the door is mighty, and the gate guards stand straight. Everything seems to be the same as before, but it is much deserted.

Luzhu had already placed the horse stool, and just as I got out of the car in a shallow step, some people trotted through the door and greeted me. It's the old housekeeper.

"Uncle housekeeper, please get up." I hurried forward to help him.

Although it has been so many years, I still remember that he took me well back then. When I returned home late at night, in the general's mansion in Nuo Da, he was the only one who would wait at the door, hold the lamp for me, and send me back to the small courtyard.

The butler stood up in response, looked up at me, his eye circles were red, he choked up for a while, and finally said a word, "The princess is finally home?"

I haven't seen him for a few years. The old butler has lost a lot of weight. His smooth eyes are full of wrinkles. Although his hair is only gray, his back seems to be a little rounded, making him look very old.

I don't know what to feel in my heart, I can only smile slightly.

Only then did the housekeeper come to his senses, and quickly let me into the mansion. I asked him why the mansion was so clean, and he said that Su Hong and Wu Wanhua had gone to another courtyard, and the third wife went to Qing'an Temple to worship Buddha today, so it was so clean.

I nodded, I explained my purpose, and he led me directly to Suho's study.

Su Huo's study is on the left side of the mansion. It is very spacious. There is a Yangchun sword when you enter the door. Under the sword are carved tables and chairs. There are many books on the bookshelf on the right side of the table. On the left side is a row of pavilions. Put some decorations.

I looked around, went directly to the side of the bookshelf, removed the books in the third row from the front, and found the red lacquered wooden box the size of a book from the bottom cabinet.

The box is a little old, and there is an exquisite clasp on it. I twisted it a few times and didn't open it. When I looked carefully, I found that it was a small mechanism box.

Sitting on a chair with the box in hand, after careful study, I finally found the small mechanism on the back of the box, took off the bead hairpin on the sideburns, poked lightly with the sharp corner, and the mechanism box opened.

Inside the box was a booklet and a small cloth bag. I took out the booklet first, and opened the first page. It was actually a sketch of a woman.

This woman has clear eyebrows and sharp cheeks, she is really charming and charming, the more I look at the pattern, the more I feel familiar, and I suddenly thought that the appearance of this woman is actually very similar to me.

I turned to the second page, which was also a line drawing. The figures on this page were smaller, surrounded by mountains and water. The woman was wearing a loose robe and was looking at the scenery in the mountains.

On the third page, the woman is playing in the water by the stream. On the fourth page, when the style of painting changes, a young general appears from the back, and the woman is looking back. On the fifth page, there is a picture of the general and the woman looking at each other.

This time I understood clearly, the appearance of the general is exactly Su Qingmu's father, this woman must be her mother Luoer without a doubt.

I continued to look through this booklet. In this booklet, there are pictures of the two people from meeting, to getting to know each other, from playing the piano under the moon, playing the flute in the wind, to viewing the scenery on a cruise ship, and drinking and singing. Just flipping through the booklet, one can already feel the love between the two back then.

The so-called only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals is so.

Flipping to the middle of the booklet, the style of painting changed, and it changed into a general wearing wedding gowns and a woman wearing a phoenix crown. It must be that the two are getting married.

Further on, there is a picture of a woman who is pregnant in October. Each page of the brochure has a different expression. The emotions are all on the paper, and the hearts of those who read it are warm.

In the future, the man is holding the baby, and the woman is lying on the couch happily. It should be the scene where she gave birth to Su Qingmu.

The last page of this album is actually a bit bleak. In the painting, there is a lonely grave, a pile of weeds, a few delicate flowers in front of the grave, and three glasses of sake.On the right side is a small Danqing poem, which reads: Every year I miss it lightly, and every year my heart breaks.

Feeling weak in my heart, looking at Xiaoshi, I actually feel a little sad. It is really a pity that the gods and couples are separated from Yin and Yang in the end.

I talked briefly, I wanted to share the booklet, but one of the pages was scattered, I quickly picked it up, I wanted to put it back in order, but I found that the corner of the page had been torn Mark of.

This is a simple booklet with seams in the middle of the paper. It is drawn first and then bound. There is no reason to tear it up after drawing...

Besides, looking at the whole album, the scenes are all coherent, and I didn't find where to tear it off...

With a thought, I took the picture album and compared it, and found that the other half of the page was actually the middle of the page where Su Qingmu's mother gave birth, and the page of the lonely grave.And looking carefully, I found that there were also traces of being torn from the middle of the booklet. Counting it, a total of three pages were torn off...

It's strange to me, it's so good, why tear it up?
I was suspicious, but still closed the booklet.He opened the small cloth bag lightly, and inside was a camel flower jade pendant and a small ball.

The jade pendant is extremely fine, and a small Luo character is engraved on the hidden corner of the jade flower, which should have been left by my mother.And that little ball, the size of a thumbnail...

I squeezed it twice with my hands, and felt that the texture was very strange. It smelled like kerosene, but I couldn't see what it was for, so I had to put it back.

I took a closer look at the box again, and after confirming that there was no interlayer, I put the thing back, fastened the mechanism, and after thinking about it, I said to the old housekeeper, "I want to take this box, but is it okay?"

The old housekeeper has been guarding the door, and when he saw me talking, he quickly turned around and said, "Master, the box is for you to see, and it must be given to you. Just take it away, Princess."

I nodded, picked up the box and went out of the study. After taking two steps, I felt something was wrong. When I turned around and saw him looking at me hesitating to speak, I said, "Is there something wrong with the housekeeper?"

The old housekeeper said, "Princess, are you leaving now? It's the princess's birthday today, why don't you go back after eating, and the old slave will let the kitchen do things..."

"No need." I quickly stopped him, and said with a slight smile, "Uncle housekeeper, don't bother me, Qingmu has something else to do, so I won't be eating at the mansion."

"Oh, that's it." The old housekeeper responded without saying anything, followed me all the way, and sent me out of the general's mansion.

The carriage slowly headed towards the Princess's Mansion, I pulled up the curtain and turned around, but the housekeeper was still standing there...

I sighed secretly, put down the curtain of the car and closed my eyes to rest my mind. After a while, I arrived at the Princess' Mansion.

At this time, it was Shen Shi, and the meal had already been prepared in the mansion. While I was eating, Lu Zhu kept looking out of the window. I looked strange and asked her... "What are you looking at?"

"Uh, no, no." She laughed dryly, bowed her head for a while, and then looked at...

I smiled for a while, and simply asked her to go out and serve me some sugar water.

As soon as she went out, a figure came in through the window behind her.

Except for Xuanyuan Chen, no one would go through the window, so I didn't raise my head, and continued to pick up a piece of beef and put it in my mouth.

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "Little girl, why don't you have any precautions at all, you are not afraid, is there a bad guy coming in?"

I snorted softly and continued eating.

"Hey..." Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, took out a bamboo pot from his sleeve, picked up the cup on the table, poured out a cup, and took a sip.

At this time, Lu Zhu also came back with sugar water, and she was not surprised when she saw that there was one more person in the room. Instead, she gave a shallow salute as if she was relieved, put the sugar water on the table, and then turned around and went out. closed the door...

I suddenly felt a dark cloud, and now it was finally just what she was looking at.

This girl has been looking forward to Xuanyuan Chen...

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "Take out a box from his bosom and hand it over." Hey, happy birthday. "

The box is extremely small, one finger long and half a palm wide.I was really curious about what was inside, so I took it and opened the box.

Inside is a strange silk cloth. I typed it up and found out that it is a silk vest that can almost see the sunlight on the opposite side.

It is slippery and hangs down. When you touch it, it has a hard texture. This is...

"This is the silk armor." Xuanyuan Chen explained, "The silk is extremely tough. It can't be cut by a knife or burnt by fire. It's extremely difficult to find. I wanted to make a piece of clothing, but I couldn't find it." I had more materials, so I had to make a vest."

He smiled slightly, and then said, "However, I have prepared other gifts for you, maybe you can make up for it."

After he finished speaking, he raised his arm, and I saw a red silk ribbon tied around his wrist.

I was surprised, so I heard him slowly say, "I want to give you the best, but I can't give it all at once. I have to give you myself as a gift. In this way, I can give you whatever you want. gone."

"Leave me by your side, tell me what you want."
