Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 299 The Box Hidden Under the Table
Ji Ji ceremony is very grand.

All the high-ranking ladies came, searched the family property, and gave the most expensive gifts.

All those presents add up to a whole house.

The emperor also prepared a very rare gift, which was actually a night pearl as big as a fist.

It is said that there is only this one in the world.

Round and round, very cute.

Empress Xiao Zhao sent a hairpin, not because Empress Xiao Zhao was careless.

But for the daughter Jiji, the mother usually sends hairpins.

Putting a hairpin on the child's head personally also represents that the daughter has grown up.

Under the attention of everyone, the graceful Empress Xiao Zhao inserted a top-notch fat jade hairpin on the little princess's combed hair.

This jade hairpin is really good, it looks as soft as meat fat, exuding a faint glow.

It also sets off the beauty of the little princess.

She was wearing a dragon and phoenix frolicking robe, sitting there quietly.

Beautiful and dignified.

Xu Jiabao's grandmother, the old lady of the Xu family, also came.

She is not easy to mess with. Although she is no longer a serious elder in the royal family, the royal family of Shen Guo does not have a long life.

It is rare for her to live a long life, and she lived to the end, so she has a noble status.

She smiled and took the princess's hand, and praised the princess vigorously.

A group of young people were brought in, each dressed more beautifully than the other, and they couldn't approach the princess when she was giving the ceremony.

But Licheng, they can naturally appear.

They laughed at each other for a while.

Xu Jiabao, who was also wearing pink today, was grabbed by the arm by a classmate.

"Is your grandmother going to propose to you?" Lin Fen asked with a smile.

Lin Fen is a serious second-generation official, but he is a concubine, and he was able to attend the Princess' Jiji ceremony because he is now a student of Shenxue Palace, but as a concubine, he still has no relationship with Princess Shang, so he made fun of others openly .

Xu Jiabao blushed and shook his head immediately.

"I, I am not a princess, I have a cousin..."

Lu Shengxiang was also awkward in the crowd, especially when he saw his younger sister, Concubine Lu, sitting in front of her, the feeling was really complicated. At the same time, she wondered if his parents were crazy. Princess, what do you call your younger sister in the future?
He still remembered the younger sister who loved to peel lotus seeds. In summer, she always liked to lie on a chair with her legs crossed, peeling lotus seeds one by one.

But now, my younger sister is pregnant, and she still sits upright, with a smile on her face that is just right, gentle and polite.

very tired.

"Why is Lu Shenyou not here? Doesn't it mean that he is also in the palace?" So he asked.

God bless the palace.

Looking at the long-haired woman, she tried hard to insert the branch into the wood.

Never plugged in.

The long-haired woman was angry, she was crying.

Shenyou saw her cry for the first time.

She is very sad.

Holding the wood, weeping very sadly.

Shenyou was right in front of her, but the long-haired woman turned a blind eye to her.

Just like every time before, accepting her as a matter of course, this time, it is also a matter of course not seeing her.

She is really crazy.

The branch, which had been rubbed smooth by the cloth, fell under the table.

Shenyou climbed in, trying to pick up the branch.

It's a bit narrow under the table.

The branches rolled a little far.

Shenyou's hand couldn't reach it, so she could only crawl a little inside.

Her hand touched the branch, and her little fingers pulled the branch over little by little.

Then, she felt a little unevenness on the ground.

Like tipping something up.

Shenyou is a very curious person, and he loves to collect things from everywhere since he was a child.

She took out a small knife, pointed it at the bricks on the ground, and tilted it with a "click".

It was exactly as she thought.

Under the brick, there is a small box hidden.

Shenyou took out the small box.

Shenyou took the box and climbed out.

The long-haired woman stopped crying and went to the yard to bask in the sun with the wood in her arms.

In the wild, the sun can cure all diseases.

It's not good to be sick, and it is generally recommended to get more sun.

There may also be such a custom in Shanghai.

So the long-haired woman hugs the wood to bask in the sun every day.

Turn it over and dry it carefully.

The piece of wood was sun-dried and clean.

Shenyou hugged the box and stood in front of the window.

Looking at the woman in the yard, her hair is so long that it reaches her waist.

She is not slender either, unlike Aunt Luo, who has a very thin waist.

She's a bit big, with broad shoulders.

The fingers are very soft.

Shenyou opened the box, there was no lock, it was just a small wooden box.

With a light push, it opens.

Inside was a letter and a small bottle.

"I am pregnant. The national teacher said that I am pregnant with the man of destiny, but I dream every night. I dreamed of a bucket filled with water, and the bucket kept leaking. I dreamed of a lot of blood. I dreamed of a holy lake. I dreamed of countless bones. , dreamed of pygmy eagles, dreamed of wolves, dreamed of killing. I was very scared in the dream. I was still scared when I woke up. I always felt that there was a pair of eyes that kept looking at me day and night. I searched through ancient books and saw A folk remedy, taking heart blood as an offering, can save my child, take blood from a snake, and then kill the snake. This process is a bit bad, but the blood is there, and there is only a small bottle. My mother thinks I am crazy, but I know I am not crazy. I'm just scared. Child, I dreamed that you would come, and if you came, you would drink that bottle of blood."

The letter paper turned yellow and had been left for a long time.

The blood in that bottle was still able to flow and did not freeze.

In a vial, shake gently.

Really blood.

Even with a slight shake, Shenyou felt a sweet breath.

Not fishy.

It looks really good to drink.

It seems that if you drink it, you will be complete.

Could this be the antidote for him to survive Jiji when he returned to the palace?
Is it mother's blood?
Shenyou looked at the bottle and fell silent.

She thought of Aunt Luo, the third uncle, her elder brother, Mr. Guo first, and Shi Qi who went to Jing country.

The little green snake in Shenyou's bag poked its head out, saw the bottle, but with a whoosh, jumped back into the bag, curled up into a ball, and never came out again.

Shenyou looked up again, only to find that the long-haired woman came in from the yard.

This time, she saw her.

She said with a smile on her face: "Ayou, you are here, the queen mother is looking for you everywhere."

She came over and picked up the branch on the table, seeing that it was covered with dust, she put the branch on her body and wiped it off.

She didn't pick up the branch again until she wiped it clean.

"Today is the time for you to reach the hairpin. After today, you will grow up. Come, the queen mother will help you insert the hairpin."

It was Shenyou's turn with tears in his eyes blurred.

She stands there.

Looking at the tall, long-haired woman, she solemnly inserted a tree branch into her hair.

She adjusted the position of the branch very carefully, and she was only satisfied when it was inserted in the middle.

Very happy nodded.

Then he saw the bottle that Shenyou was holding in his hand.

She froze for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "How did you find this out? At that time, the queen mother was thinking about it."

Shenyou asked, "Does it hurt to be bitten by a snake?"

The long-haired woman thought for a while, then shook her head: "Forgot."

She really forgot, like she forgot all the terrible things.

Simply forgot.
