It's just that Yun Shang still stood up slowly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was exactly the same as when Luo Qingyan occasionally smiled in front of others, with a bit of indifference and alienation. But the voice is still gentle, "The queen's wife is really terrified when she praises the minister's wife like this, but the minister's wife is afraid that the queen's wife will be disappointed. Although the minister's wife is the princess of Ningguo, she is only in poor health since she was a child. , was sent to a temple to recuperate, and really knew nothing about appreciating treasures."

The queen's eyebrows were still faint, as if she hadn't heard Yun Shang's rejection. He only lightly ordered the palace servants on the side: "Go and take out all the things that His Majesty sent over today."

The other concubines seemed to realize that the atmosphere in the palace was not quite right, so they just went about their own business silently, and no one spoke.

After a long while, I heard Ning Qian's voice in the hall, seeming to be a bit annoyed, "Oh no, this concubine forgot that His Majesty said today that he was going to Xiangzhu Hall for dinner..." As he spoke Then he turned his head and looked at the maid behind him, "Qianxin, go to the Tai Chi Hall to pass a message to His Majesty, and say that the Empress is hosting a banquet today, and I am not in the Xiangzhu Hall."

The queen turned her eyes and glanced at Ning Qian, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and said nothing. Qian Xin nodded slightly, and quickly walked out of the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

After a while, the palace servants came up with several plates, one by one in a row, and the plates were all covered with cloth, so that people could not see clearly what was under the cloth.

Yun Shang still lowered her head, the light in her eyes changed, but she kept thinking about what the Queen's intentions were.

On the one hand, the queen asked people to lift off the cloth covering the trays one by one, revealing the things underneath, and then told the origin of the things in a soft voice, and then gently asked all the concubines present if they liked it.

"The black pearl of the South China Sea, it is said that it is the largest black pearl discovered so far. It is uniform in color, bright in luster, radiant in color, and extremely beautiful. Does anyone like it?" The queen smiled with her lips pursed.

A concubine whose rank should not be too high raised her eyes, her eyes seemed to be completely attracted by the pearl.

The queen also laughed when she saw this, and said softly: "It seems that Luo Cairen likes it very much, so give it to Luo Cairen."

The woman called Luo Cairen by the queen thanked her repeatedly, took the tray containing pearls from the palace man, and handed it to the palace man behind her.

"Next." The queen glanced and lifted the cloth tray, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter, "This one is simply gorgeous, and it is an item passed down from Ningguo. It is a hairpin. Yongqin book hairpin. Exquisite workmanship, too beautiful to behold. I have heard that Princess Rui has always liked hairpins, so I wonder if this hairpin might catch Princess Rui's eyes?"

Yun Chang raised her head lightly, Riyongqin Shuzan can be regarded as a relatively simple hairpin, the difference between good and bad lies in the workmanship. Hearing the queen's question, Yun Chang also lightly set her eyes on the hairpin on the tray.

With just that one glance, Yun Chang's expression suddenly paused, and her body trembled violently. It's just that Yun Chang's expression changed so quickly that no one in the hall noticed it. Only Ning Qian, who was sitting beside Yun Chang, noticed something was wrong, and raised her head accordingly.

"Riyongqin book hairpin pays attention to workmanship, but this hairpin is exquisite in workmanship, and the color is gorgeous and eye-catching, it is a rare top grade." Yun Shang's voice was calm.

The queen seemed a little surprised, but she just smiled lightly when she heard the words, "Since Princess Rui likes it so much, let this hairpin be given to Princess Rui."

The palace man brought the hairpin to Yun Chang, and Yun Chang only glanced at it lightly, then asked Qian Zhuo behind him to take the plate, then stopped looking at the hairpin, and turned his gaze to the palace man's newly uncovered hairpin. It looked like a box of rouge.

Ning Qian looked indifferently at the rouge box with intricate patterns, but suddenly heard Yun Chang's low voice from beside her, so low that only she could hear, "That day, the Yongqin book hairpin belonged to my mother and concubine."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Ning Qian's eyes, and she understood why Cai Yunshang's gaffe just now.

Yun Shang has already concealed her emotions well, her eyes are light and faint, like other concubines in the palace, she started to appreciate the Queen's performance.

After a while, Liu Wen'an came in from the outside, saluted the queen with a smile, and then said loudly: "Empress, Your Majesty has told Concubine Xiang to return to the Xiangzhu Palace."

The Empress nodded casually, but heard Liu Wen'an say: "Your Majesty also said that Princess Rui should also go over and sit down with His Majesty to play a game of chess."

The queen looked over suddenly, Yun Chang was a little surprised, but also lowered her head, pretending to lower her eyebrows and listen to her ears.

After a while, the queen nodded lightly, "Understood."

Ning Qian stood up, pulled Yunshang, and the two saluted the queen together before leaving the main hall.

After walking a certain distance, Ning Qian suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Wen'an, frowned and said, "Oops, Mr. Liu, it seems that I just put the jade pendant on my body on the table and forgot to take it. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back if someone goes to get it, so I have to trouble Director Liu to run for me."

Liu Wen'an was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and understood what Ning Qian meant by coming over, he responded with a smile, and said, "Then Concubine Xiang, be careful on the road." After speaking, he bowed and turned around Leave Weiyang Palace.

Ning Qian watched Liu Wen'an walk away, then took Yun Shang's hand and said, "You said that hairpin belonged to Concubine Jin?"

Qin Yi who was behind was stunned when she heard the words, her face was also a little pale, "The servant girl felt a little familiar when she saw the hairpin just now, but seeing that the princess's face didn't change, she thought it was the servant girl's mistake. Concubine Jin's?"

Yun Shang turned around and looked at Qian Zhuo, Qian Zhuo quickly took out the hairpin and handed it to Yun Shang, Yun Shang took it over, looked at it carefully for a moment, then pursed her lips and said: "It can't be wrong."

Ning Qian frowned, the two of them standing here were a little too eye-catching, so she pulled Yunshang and walked towards Xiangzhu Hall, "Is something wrong with Concubine Jin?"

Yun Chang didn't respond, and said after a long while: "My lord and I have sent many secret guards to protect the concubine mother secretly, and the emperor will not let the concubine mother have any accidents. The hairpin is also needed from Ningguo to the queen's hand." It's been a short time, but I have never received any news from the hidden guards, and I believe even more that the concubine mother is fine."

Qin Yi shook her lips, "But that hairpin."

Yun Chang smiled coldly: "This is probably the queen's plan, a scheming. The hairpin is indeed the concubine's mother. The queen has been checking my reaction just now. After seeing my cold reaction, she didn't show any tricks. She probably thought , if I look at the hairpin, I will definitely be in chaos. Xiaguo and Ningguo are so far away, even if I send someone to investigate, it will take a lot of time. I may not be able to wait, I think she is waiting for me Take the initiative to find her."

"As for the hairpin..." Yun Chang paused slightly, "It's not uncommon for people in the palace to secretly take the master's jewelry and sell it off. Maybe the queen just caught it."

Yun Chang's voice was a little anxious, but she kept repeating in her mind that her guess must be right, it must be. The mother and concubine will be fine, absolutely not. \u003c
