The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 333 Bloody Case (2)
"Yes! Princess, go up!" Yingzi nodded, said a few words to Chu Xunyang, then turned and went to the back kitchen.

After she left, Chu Xunyang winked at Qingluo, "Follow Su Lin to have a look, why do I think his appearance is a bit strange."

"Yes!" Qingluo agreed, and quickly walked out the door as soon as she turned around.

Chu Xunyang stepped into the private room on the second floor. At that time, Lord Yanling was sitting on the couch making tea. The whole room was filled with the leisurely fragrance of tea, and even the chill of this winter was swept away.

Hearing her opening the door, Lord Yanling turned his head and smiled at her, "Come in!"

Chu Xunyang took off his cloak and hung it on the screen beside him, walked over and sat down opposite him, "Have you been here for a long time?"

"I came here early for nothing." Lord Yanling said, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "You came from Pingguo Duke's Mansion? Is everything going well?"

"It's okay!" Chu Xunyang pursed his lips, holding the teacup and slowly sipping tea, "Being tossed by Chu Yueyao, the Zheng family has suffered a lot. Although it is a housework, they can't Regardless of my family's reputation, I just gave a favor, as for whether to accept the favor or hold the grudge, it all depends on how they make up their own minds."

The matter of the Pingguo government is not a big deal, and it is not profitable to shake it out, and their own family must have more things than less things, so having said that, Chu Xunyang is not too worried.

"I only know that the relationship between Princess Nanhe and Mrs. Zheng is not very close, but they are in the same spirit. It is not so easy for you to completely win the support or neutrality of the Zheng family." Lord Yanling said.

The family interests of the rich and powerful families have always been taken very seriously. It is closely related to why the Zheng family is the daughter of the Zheng family.

Chu Xunyang also knew that her idea of ​​winning over the Duke of Pingguo was a bit whimsical, so he didn't bother to delve into it, so he just bent his eyes and smiled and said, "I just met you two days ago, what did you ask me to come out again? "

The corners of Yanling Jun's lips curled up, without saying a word, he just took out a small rectangular brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to her.

The box looks like it has been around for some time, and the color is a bit dated.

Chu Xunyang shook it in his hand with a smile, looked at him and said, "What is it?"

Lord Yanling said nothing, just sipped his tea with a smile and downcast eyes.

Chu Xunyang was too lazy to watch him play tricks, so he opened the box and looked, and inside was a pair of jade hairpins, one big and one small, wrapped in red cloth.

The jade is warm and moist, but the color is not very pure, it is the best blood jade.

The big one was carved into a half-open flower bud. At first glance, Chu Xunyang thought it was a magnolia, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was a jasmine.

A thread of bright red blood climbs up the rock from the bottom of the hairpin. It is shockingly glamorous on the green and transparent jade. The petals are also rendered irregularly, and finally a touch of red condenses from the stamens, blooming to the extreme.

The carving of this hairpin looks very simple at first glance, but after careful identification, it can be found that there are some tiny totems that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and it is really difficult for Chu Xunyang to confirm what is carved on the jasmine's calyx.

The small one should have been carved from the same piece of uncut jade as this hairpin, but the carving is more concise than this one. It is directly an unopened flower bud, but the same thing, the calyx is also uneven. There is a mystery.

These two things, not to mention that such an excellent blood jade is hard to find, but the seemingly ordinary carvings on it are actually made by top craftsmen, at least as far as Chu Xunyang knows, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs Jewelry craftsmen who specialize in this job can't carve such fine things.

Chu Xunyang reached out and touched the bright blood that was still flowing on the jade color, and said with a little confusion on his face: "For no reason, why did you give me this?"

She was honest, when Lord Yanling handed it to her, she believed that the other party was going to give it to her.

Lord Yanling couldn't help but smiled, but asked instead, "Do you like it?"

"En!" Chu Xunyang nodded, his fingers lingering on the hairpin repeatedly.

"Then keep it!" Lord Yanling said, took another sip of tea before suddenly changing the subject, "Your birthday is the twelfth day of the third lunar month, should the wedding ceremony be held on that day or on Girl's Day? "

Fifteen years ago, the twelfth day of March was the day when the Western Army broke through Xunyang and completely flattened the last imperial banner of the Great Rong Dynasty, so it was no secret that Chu Xunyang's birthday was known to everyone.

It's just that this day is not so pleasant for Chu Xunyang now.

A gloomy look flashed across Chu Xunyang's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. When he raised his head, he had recovered his original smile and said, "There will be a celebration in the palace on the twelfth day, so we won't do it on that day. Father has discussed it, and it will be on March [-]rd, and I will do it with my fourth sister at that time, and it will save me a lot of trouble!"

As she spoke, she took a hairpin and observed it in her hand with a little teasing: "What's the matter? Is this a gift from you?"

"That's right!" Lord Yanling smiled, shook his robe and got down on the bed, walked around behind her and sat down.

Chu Xunyang usually doesn't like overly complicated jewelry, and her own hair accessories are mostly made of jade and silver. Speaking of which, this pair of hairpins really fit her heart.

Mr. Yanling sat behind her, combing and smoothing her loose hair with his fingers, with a gentle smile on his lips, he took a smaller jade hairpin from the box and gestured to choose a place for her inserted in the hair.

Chu Xunyang had been concentrating on trying to see what totem was engraved on the calyx, but he didn't look back, and let him go. In the end, Mr. Yanling put his chin on her shoulder, and wrapped her waist from behind not moving.

Chu Xunyang looked at him sideways after observing for a long time to no avail. Seeing that he was looking at him without blinking and smiling, he felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Why don't you say anything? I thought you were asleep?"

"It's rare to see you, what a pity to fall asleep?" Lord Yanling smiled, and pecked her cheek.

I don't know when it started, he did this kind of thing like a routine.

Chu Xunyang didn't bother to argue with him, put his fingers on his forehead and pushed him away from his shoulders, curled his lips and said, "I just saw it two days ago—"

Lord Yanling glanced at her, but in the end he just sighed lightly and didn't say anything.

He wished to get tired of being with her every day, but what Chu Xunyang said last time was very clear. This girl's temperament is unambiguous, and she seems to be obviously unwilling to bring up such topics. In order not to be self-defeating, he also Enough is enough.

Sitting up straight and finishing her clothes, Lord Yanling raised his hand to stroke the hair on the back of her head again: "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I asked Yingzi to prepare it, and I'll take you back after eating."
