Marriage Under the Heavens - Chapter 180
Qin Jiu’s heart jumped uncontrollably. She knew what this jade bracelet meant to Yan Yu, but now she was shattered.
“Don’t you want it that way?” Yan Yu looked at Qin Jiu, with dangerous light shining in his eyes, the smile on the corners of his lips had been condensed at this moment, and his face was pale with a trace of iron.
Since Qin Jiu cooperated with Yan Yu, he had never seen such a terrible expression before, and his heart suddenly became cold. This bracelet is really important to him, after all, it belongs to his mother and concubine.
She didn’t speak any more, now he is a hot character in the capital, and she still has her things to do. The two of them should stop entanglement, lest something shouldn’t happen.
“Want to shoot and break with me?” Yan Yu said with a sneer suddenly, as if he could see what she was thinking clearly.
His voice condensed like ice, and under his raised eyebrows, there was a calm and sad light in those narrow and evil eyes.
“You have got what you want. I heard that you are going to be the emperor’s brother. We should also terminate the covenant.” Qin Jiu said slowly.
“Yes, you are right.” Yan Yu knelt down and broke the jade bracelets into pieces, picking them up piece by piece, moving gently and slowly.
Qin Jiu looked at his indifferent side face, a heart suddenly seemed to run over a fragment of a jade bracelet, she slowly walked to the table and sat down, not watching his cautious movements.
He wrapped the broken jade with a piece of Jinpa, got up and walked in front of her. He squinted his eyes, his gaze stopped on her face, and the long, narrow, dark eyes contained the tranquility of the deep sea, so deep that she could not see clearly. He stared at her like that, but after a while, he suddenly smiled. It was an extremely charming smile. He raised his eyebrows carelessly, and threw the broken jade that Jinpa was holding into her arms.
“This jade bracelet belongs to you, just like a heart of mine, even if it is broken into tens of thousands of pieces, it will still belong to you. If you insist on not wanting it, then drop it!” After speaking, he whistled. Bai Er, who was playing happily with Huang Mao in the chrysanthemum bushes, immediately ran over obediently.
“Let’s go!” A coquettish smile reappeared at the corner of his lips, and he walked out of the house slowly and disappeared into the night.
He left, and left without looking back.
Qin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief slowly, but he was not at all relaxed for some reason, but heavier. She lowered her head, glanced at the Jinpa thrown by Yan Yu in her arms, and opened her fingers carefully.
The fragments of a few jade bracelets shone with a cold green light in the light, which stung her eyes for an instant.
Seeing Baier’s departure, Huang Mao chased after him reluctantly for a while, then flew back to the house, leaned his wings on the table, tilted his head and looked at Qin Jiu, looking a bit aggrieved.
Qin Jiu glanced at its faintly resentful appearance, and suddenly remembered Yan Yu’s appearance, and was upset in his heart, “Just say whatever you want. Don’t look at me with that aggrieved little eyes. You think I don’t know what’s in your stomach. How much bad water?”
Huang Mao didn’t understand what bad water was, and thought it was a good drink. He suddenly turned from worry to joy, and shouted at Qin Jiu: “Bad water, drink bad water.” As he said, he took the empty glass on the table to Qin. In front of Jiu, he asked Qin Jiu to pour spoiled water.
Qin Jiu chuckled, touched the yellow feathers on the yellow hair, and whispered: “You will be worse if you drink it again.”
On the day of Emperor Qing’s birthday, the weather was exceptionally good. When Qin Jiu entered the palace, the red clouds in the western sky were burning brilliantly, indicating that tomorrow will be a good weather.
Before entering the hall, Qin Jiu met Lin Zhaoyuan. Concubine Hui was beaten into the cold palace, and Concubine Xian was missing. Now, among the harem of Emperor Qing, Lin Zhaoyuan has the highest rank. I heard that Emperor Qing has ordered her to be in charge of the harem.
Although Lin Zhaoyuan was young, she acted very calmly. It is said that she is now proud of the spring breeze. She could have dressed up with colorful embroidery, but she just wore a palace dress embroidered with red flowers in a lotus color, with golden silk thread pinched at the edge, and a hairpin with a phoenix hairpin. The dress is decent, but luxurious Not seeming ostentatious, but also in line with such a festive day today. Seeing Qin Jiu, Lin Zhaoyuan walked over surrounded by court ladies, and smiled lightly: “I haven’t seen Miss Qin for many days. I’ve long wanted to chat with you. Let’s sit with my palace tonight.”
Qin Jiu said in a polite manner: “Then I will disturb the empress.” Qin Jiu was very interested in this Lin Zhaoyuan, who looked like the Concubine Jing.
The furnishings of the Chongren Hall have long been refurbished, and the palace lanterns of various colors are hung up to illuminate the hall with magnificent glory. The seats were set, and Qin Jiu sat with Lin Zhaoyuan to the concubine of Emperor Qing. There is a translucent screen separated from the seat of the minister, and people can vaguely see the people in the hall.
Emperor Qing has not yet arrived, and the feast has not yet begun. Some officials’ female relatives chatted around the table and looked at Qin Jiu who was sitting at Lin Zhaoyuan’s table from time to time. They are curious about Qin Jiu. A few days ago, she was still the demon girl of the Tianchen Sect, but now she has transformed into a legendary woman lurking in the Tianchen Sect to endure humiliation, which really makes them feel incredible.
Qin Jiu has long been accustomed to being the focus of all kinds of eyes, holding the tea cup calmly, and pouring herself slowly.
Lin Zhaoyuan smiled and said: “Miss Qin is really a wise and brave woman. She has been able to stay in a place like Tianchenzong for more than two years, and she has achieved the position of sect master. It is really admirable. You are not. I know, now in the palace, they are all talking about you.”
Qin Jiu drank a sip of tea and chuckled softly: “Niangniang is utterly praised. I heard that now Niangniang is in the sixth house of assistant management, I am afraid it is extremely hard!” After the Tianchen sect chaos, there are many things in the palace that need to be rectified. Locally, it is very difficult to do well without distraction and patience.
“It is my blessing to be able to share the worries for your majesty. Your majesty does not have many concubines, and it is not hard work. However, a few days ago, some family members of Anling Prince’s Mansion and Xie’s Mansion entered the court as sin slaves and arranged their affairs. It took a lot of effort. Especially the princess of King Anling had a miscarriage somehow. The work she was originally given was not heavy. Hey, this incident has made my palace feel uncomfortable for a long time.” Lin Zhaoyuan said. Sighed softly.
Qin Jiu lowered his head and stroked the flower pancake in his hand. The pink flowers embroidered on it were in bud.
“However, this palace is actually a little suspicious about this matter. The news that Miss Su revealed that she was happy was at the time of the Su family’s accident. At that time, she had not been married to King Anling for a long time, and now she entered the palace. As a sin slave, the child will have a miscarriage. Isn’t it too coincidental that people cannot doubt it.” Lin Zhaoyuan said in a low voice.
Qin Jiu also thought about what Lin Zhaoyuan suspected. However, whether it is true or false, it shows that Yan Su is affectionate to Su Wanxiang, otherwise, how can she use fake pregnancy to protect her?
Qin Jiu smiled, “This matter is over, my mother doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Lin Zhaoyuan picked up a grape and sent it to her entrance, chuckling softly: “That’s what you said.”
When the two were talking, they saw Shang Chuchu walking towards Qin Jiu, and not seeing each other for a few days, the little girl looked haggard. She saluted Lin Zhaoyuan, “Manny Zhaoyuan, I want to talk to Sister Qin and introduce my Aunt Min to Sister Qin. I don’t know whether the mother is willing to let go.
Lin Zhaoyuan covered her lips and smiled: “Look at what the third princess said, this palace can still detain Ms. Qin, you can go and talk.”
Shang Chuchu said crisply, “Thank you, Niang Niang.” He took Qin Jiu’s arm and walked towards the case table of Yun Shao State.
“I’m very worried about Feihua. I originally wanted Aunt Min to ask the emperor to let Feihua return to Yunshao with us. But the second sister wouldn’t let me interfere in this matter. She said that Sister Qin has her own way to save him, isn’t it?” Shang Chuchu asked in a low voice in Qin Jiu’s ear.
Qin Jiu held Shang Chuchu’s hand and chuckled softly: “Don’t worry. Aunt Min you said, but this time your mother sent a special envoy to the sage to celebrate her birthday, Yue Min, the lady of Yunshao country?” Qin Jiu had heard that the Queen of Yunshao Kingdom had sent envoys to celebrate her birthday, and by the way, she planned to bring the two princesses back.
Shang Chuchu nodded, “Yes, I will introduce you later.”
By the side of Yun Shaoguo’s case, the second princess Shang Sisi was talking to a woman who was in her thirties. She was dressed in the costume of a Yunshao woman official. She was beautiful, with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked human. Affinity, but in every move, there is a prestige of being an official. Qin Jiu had heard of Yue Min. She was a talented woman in Yunshao State. She was an upright official and had great prestige. It can be seen that the Queen of Yunshao State attached great importance to this birthday celebration and sent such an important person.
“Sister Qin, this is my emperor’s aunt Yue Min, who holds the post of essayist in our country of Yunshao. This time she came to congratulate my birthday on behalf of the country of Yunshao. Aunt Min, this is the Qin Jiuqin I told you about sister.”
Yue Min stood up and smiled: “I heard Chu Chu talk about it a long time ago, saying that she and Sisi are here, thanks to Miss Qin’s care, Min is grateful here.”
After hearing this, Shang Sisi frowned, and said in a clear voice: “Chuchu is the one taking care of, I don’t need others to take care of it.”
Yue Min glanced at Shang Sisi, but saw that she had turned away and looked away. She smiled softly and said, “Miss Qin, don’t see outsiders, this child is in a bad mood.”
Qin Jiu smiled lightly and said: “Yue Shangshu is polite. The second princess does not need my care, but the second princess, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, helped us a lot.”
“Don’t be grateful, I’m not helping you.” Shang Sisi said coldly, a chill flashed in his clear eyes.
Although Shang Sisi was cold and arrogant, he had never faced Qin Jiu so **** for tat before. Today, it seems that she inadvertently offended her. But Qin Jiu thought about it carefully, but couldn’t remember why he was wrong with her.
“Sister Qin sit down!” Seeing the awkwardness between the two, Shang Chuchu pulled Qin Jiu’s clothes corner and sat on the chair, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.
There was a sound of string music, and everyone hurriedly put down their cups, and saw Emperor Qing stepped onto the dragon chair in the hall with Yan Yu’s support.
