Chapter 21: Blending In

Stopping at the door, staring blankly at the harmonious scene inside, Liu Xiyun's dance moved the capital. At first glance, the sky was green outside, and the dance seemed to be between the mountains and rivers in a trance. Xie Shuyan painted this scene on the scroll with pen and ink , Zhang Wanyuan was enjoying tea with the others.

As for Jiang Ruohua, she is in an especially good mood!

Playing the piano can make people cultivate their moral character and make them happy. Master, you will not deceive me.

Jiang Ruoting clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, looking at the harmonious sight in front of her, as if her former friends had excluded her. She knew that was not the case. After all, the friends she chose were all people who abide by their duties. Obviously She also knew that Jiang Ruohua just had that kind of personality. Since he was doing a show to get close to her, it was normal for such a situation to occur, but...but!

But the scene in front of her made her both powerless and unwilling!

How many years had she spent to make friends with these truly famous ladies, the future wives of powerful men? But now, in just a moment, it seems as if they all belong to Jiang Ruohua!

It's so unfair. The fact that God allowed Jiang Ruohua to be born in this world is the greatest injustice to her!

Liu Xiyun's little face was slightly red. In a blink of an eye, she saw Jiang Ruoting coming. She stopped and said, "Sister Jiang, why are you here? Are you feeling better? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I rested for a while and I don't feel uncomfortable anymore." She took a deep breath and held it in. "Jiang Ruoting, you can't let all your efforts go to waste just because of such a small incident." She immediately put on a smile and said, "I've made you worry."

Xie Shuyan pulled her to sit down and said, "Do you really don't need to rest for a while?"

"It's okay. Sister Xie, don't you think I'm feeling much better?" Jiang Ruoting smiled and tried to cheer up. Naturally, her unhappy look was gone. No matter what, she had to endure it. Her mother was planning for her. After so many years, she naturally couldn't lose her composure now.

"As long as you don't hold on." Xie Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled, with helplessness in her eyes. It seemed that Jiang Ruoting always liked to show off her strength, and she was already used to it.

But today, Jiang Ruoting couldn't help but froze, and said humbly: "...It's really okay."

"It's okay. Sister Xie, they are all thinking about their second sister." Jiang Ruohua sat among a group of people, smiled and waved to Jiang Ruoting, asking her to come and sit down, "Sit down quickly, if you get cold again, your aunt should go back Not happy anymore.”

As soon as Jiang Ruoting sat down with a smile, Ning Zhiyao poured tea for her and Liu Xiyun, and then said curiously: "I just looked at it. Is the one on Sister Liu's head a new one? Why is it like that? Dazzling?”

Hearing this, Liu Xiyun took two sips of tea, then smiled and took off the hairpin from her head. The gold hairpin was carefully carved with bird patterns, and there was a large, transparent and pure gem-like luster in her tail port. The prism is different from the usual pearls, emeralds, and glazed gems.

The Liu family has a daughter in the palace who is Liu Xiyun's direct aunt. She is Concubine Qian, the biological mother of the seventh prince, King Yue, and the fourth and thirteenth princesses. Although the emperor's love for her is not as good as that of Concubine Yi who is the most favored in the sixth palace, as a The biological mother of the prince and princess, her mother's family also worked in the court, so she must be respected. She is in the position of concubine, and there are many fresh gifts. Liu Xiyun's hairpin was almost obtained from Concubine Qian.

"This is a gemstone produced in Jinsha. It is as transparent as water, white and pure, and shines in the light. The bigger it is, the more rare it is." Jiang Ruohua will not let go of any opportunity to exclude Jiang Ruoting now. She took it in. She also had one of these gold sand and gemstone earrings, which her uncle brought to her years ago. It was just not as big as the royal objects in the palace, but it was indeed eye-catching.

Liu Xiyun listened to her words and nodded with a smile: "When I entered the palace a few days ago, I got it from my aunt. It was what the emperor had given to my aunt before. I heard that it was Jinsha's tribute this year. The emperor gave my aunt a complete set. I'm sorry It took me a long time to get this one!”

"But I didn't expect Sister Jiang to know about this thing. When I first asked for it back, my mother asked me where I got it. It was so dazzling that she thought it was some kind of monster." He said that at the youngest daughter's house, An unconvinced look appeared on her face. Liu Xiyun was only fourteen this year. It was the time when her daughter's family loved beauty. She got this rare and luxurious gold hairpin, and she couldn't help but feel proud on her face.

"I remember eldest sister..."

Jiang Ruoting wanted to answer, but before she could finish her words, Jiang Ruohua interrupted her: "I also have a pair of earrings made of gold sand and precious stones, but those pairs are not as compact as Sister Liu's hairpin. This gold sand In addition to the tributes that the Jinsha Kingdom has sent to me over the years, the Qi Dynasty has some gems left over due to the large production, but they may not be sold to the Qi Dynasty. My pair of earrings also happened to be from my uncle's trip to the two countries years ago. The border just happened by chance.”

Zhang Wanyuan looked envious: "It's really beautiful. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Why don't you let me take care of you for two days, Sister Liu? I'm not like you having Concubine Qian as your aunt. It’s not like Sister Jiang has an uncle who is an imperial merchant, so she has no choice but to ask me to have fun with you! "

"Just keep the belt. I just agreed that you have to return it to me after two days."

After saying this, several other people also thought about it. She is a woman with good moral character, and she has a good relationship with her sisters. She often changes her clothes and jewelry. Teenage girls always have a longing for beauty. , but without feeling jealous, it became lively after a while.

Except Jiang Ruoting.

She feels guilty.

"My uncle loves to collect these precious things. Most of the jewelry that my cousins ​​and I have are obtained by my uncle from all over the place. If you like them, I will ask him to bring more next year." Jiang Ruohua participated in it naturally, and sold her uncle to pave the way for herself without thinking too much. Jiang Ruoting was still young at this time and would feel guilty, but she would not. If she cared about her face at this time, she would lose herself. She was not stupid, so how could she lose the big for the small as before?

As soon as these words came out, they were delighted by these noble ladies, and they all said that they would prepare money to buy them when the time came. Jiang Ruoting opened her mouth several times, but found that she had no idea where to start. Her mind was turning quickly, and she pulled Jiang Ruoting's sleeve, wanting to remind her as before.

Remind Jiang Ruohua that merchants are lowly, and as a noble lady and future princess, how can she be tainted with money, so that she will keep silent about her foreign family...

Jiang Ruohua would never take the initiative to mention her uncle in the past, why is it suddenly different this time?

Jiang Ruohua just ignored these little actions, she was very involved in the conversation between the sisters, of course she would not notice these little actions, right?
