Chapter 44 Golden Hairpin

Until he returned to Huaxi Palace, the enthusiasm on Shu Yao's face continued to dissipate for a long time. The golden tassels swayed lightly between his hair. Shu Yao reached out to fan the air and muttered, "It's autumn now, why are they still so hot?"

Chunrui wondered: "Is the princess hot? That servant took a fan to fan you."

The pine needle smiled, "You don't understand, the princess is not hot, but the heart is hot."

“…Pine needles!”

Shu Yao was so embarrassed that she was so angry, "If you make fun of me, just go outside and have a blowout!"

"Oh, princess, don't be angry. Do you need me to invite Mr. Li in?"

The pine needle and Chunrui were finally pushed out by the little princess with a blushing face.

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to convention, the palace will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Fulu Palace. After the banquet, the king and his ministers will climb to the Yingyue Tower and drink with the moon.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunion, so most of the people invited to participate in the banquet were aristocratic meritorious service, royal relatives, and Qin Yanghou were also invited.

Today, when Qin Yanghou went to the banquet, the woman who followed him was not Pan, but Li Qingchu.

Li Qingchu has been favored by the Hou Qin Yang in recent days, so even such a banquet was brought to her. She learned everything quickly, tied up her wife's bun and put on gorgeous brocade, which really made her feel like a lady.

Shu Ningyou followed Qin Yanghou and sat down at the female seat with Li Qingchu.

These days, Pan always cursed Li Qingchu behind her back, saying that she was reluctant to use the materials. Qin Yanghou casually asked someone to take it for Li Qingchu to make clothes. Shu Ning listened absent-mindedly, not taking it seriously.

In the past, she expected her mother to be promoted by the Marquis of Qin Yang and become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Qin Yang. Now that she read the storybook, she would rather fight for her own sake and marry into the Xie family than relying on others.

Being Xie Yanzhou's wife is no better than being the legitimate daughter of the Qinyang Marquis' Mansion?

Shu Yao sat together with Princess Jiayi and talked about what she saw last night. Princess Jiayi keenly found that there was a golden hairpin on her head. She looked quite familiar and reached out to take it off: "Isn't this the hairpin we saw in the Flower Moon Tower of Chunjiang yesterday? Did you imitate it?"

"Of course not," Shu Yao touched her hairpin carelessly, "This was given to me by their master himself, don't break it."

Princess Jiayi widened her eyes: "I personally gave it to you? How is that possible! What does the owner of the Spring River Flower Moon Tower look like? I don't believe it."

Shu Yao didn't see the owner of the Chunjiang Huayue Tower, but she had the ability to talk lies with her eyes open, so she was not guilty and said seriously: "Just like an ordinary merchant, nodding and bowing, I was so respectful to me. I insisted on appreciating my paintings and giving me this hairpin. I couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so I accepted it."

Princess Jiayi was jealous and envious: "How come he even likes your works..."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Shu Yao picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. "I am not just talented, maybe he is interested in my appearance?"

Song Needle and Chunrui were laughing behind her. The little princess and Princess Jiayi were really a pair of living treasures.

Princess Jiayi was stuffed with a piece of pastry, and her unbalanced heart gradually dissipated a lot. Forget it, as a cousin who is several months older than Shu Yao, how could she care about these things with her sister?

After eating the pastry, she started talking about new topics: "I met Zhou Langjun last night. He praised me for writing well, saying that he had no ability to guide me anymore. But he seemed to have something to do, and he was called away in a short while."

Shu Yao was a little curious: "How did you meet?"

Princess Jiayi's face was a little more screech and she whispered: "It was him who took the initiative to contact me. Last year, Aunt Ruyang held a calligraphy and painting banquet. I sent my works to the banquet. He asked someone to find me and said that she appreciated my works very much. But I didn't tell him my identity. He knew that I was a woman yesterday and was shocked."

After the two chatted for a while, an eunuch came over and said that they were asking them to come out and take the Mid-Autumn Festival gift prepared by the prince.

Among the same generation, the prince is the oldest. During the holidays, as the eldest brother, the prince will prepare gifts for their younger brothers and sisters. Princess Jiayi has long been accustomed to the prince's generosity and stood up happily, "I don't know what gifts the emperor has prepared this year."

The prince was waiting for the two outside the Fulu Palace. Princess Jiayi got a jade bracelet, while Shu Yao got a gold hairpin, which was the shape of a rabbit.

Li Mingji was wearing a black robe and was originally silently guarding Shu Yao a few steps away. When he saw the hairpin and his sword eyebrows were raised slightly.

Princess Jiayi was also laughing: "This is such a coincidence. Shu Yao only got a jade rabbit gold hairpin last night. Why did you give her another one, brother?"

“…get it?”

The prince then noticed the golden hairpin between Shu Yao's hair. He lost his mind for a moment and his face quickly regained his smile. "I just thought that Yaoyao's cousin might like it, so I asked someone to buy it."

Princess Jiayi didn't notice his strangeness: "That's not it. I don't know what evil the owner of the Chunjiang Huayue Tower was so entangled. She insisted on giving her a golden hairpin."

She still believed that seeing is true. Shu Yao couldn't even say anything about the poster. She must have bought it herself and made it up and fooled her.

Of course, as a loyal cousin, she naturally could not have given Shu Yao a face in front of the prince.

Shu Yao pinched Princess Jiayi and smiled well and said, "Thank you, cousin."

She can't even wear hairpins, why are they all rushing to send her hairpins? It's really annoying.

Princess Jiayi, like Shu Yao, was a little awe of this older brother, who was much older. But after getting the benefits of the brother, she could not help but have an old problem and chattered: "Brother, you are busy with government affairs, you shouldn't go out last night, right? You don't know how lively the Spring River Flower Moon Tower is."

The prince smiled and said, "I'm curious about it. Next time there is such an activity, I'll tell you."

Soon an eunuch summoned him, and the prince was inconvenient to stay for more. When he turned around, he glanced at Li Mingji behind Shu Yao.

The guard's face was as beautiful as a jade-like person, but he gave birth to a good look that pleased the young lady. No wonder Shu Yao always wanted to bring him by his side. However, the prince was still strange. How could a Confucian scholar like Mr. Li cultivate such a concubine's son?

"The Mid-Autumn Festival Moon will be lively, but I think it's mostly gimmicks, just a means of profit for businessmen. Their shopkeepers are even more ungrateful..."

The prince left, but a discordant conversation rang behind him. Shu Yao turned around and saw Xie Yanzhou walking with several princes, with a casual tone of arrogance: "In short, this prince will not go there for the second time."

"Oh, why did you thank the prince?"

Princess Jiayi didn't like Xie Yanzhou at first. When she learned that Shu Yao also hated him and didn't want to act anymore, she became sarcastic: "Criminal Xie also went to Chunjiang Huayue Tower last night?"

Xie Yanzhou didn't expect to meet Princess Jiayi here. She and Shu Yao had a good time, but their personality was much worse than Shu Yao, and she liked to tease people the most.

"I have any problems with this prince traveling to the Spring River Flower Moon Tower with his friend last night?"

"Friend?" Princess Jiayi laughed, "Thank you, don't pretend. Yaoyao and I have seen it. Are you your friend or your new lover?"
