Chapter 823 The Hairpin (1/2)

When Luo Qingyan returned to the mansion, he was holding a small oblong rosewood box. As soon as he returned to the bedroom, he put the box on Yun Shang's dresser, which caught Yun Shang's attention.

Yun Shang kept staring at the box. After a long time, she looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked softly, ”What's this?” As asking, she stood up and walked to the dresser. She took the box in her hand and looked at it for a while. Then she turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, ”Can I open it and have a look?”

Luo Qingyan looked a little embarrassed. He nodded stiffly and said, ”It's for you.”

”For me?” Yun Shang was a little surprised. It was not a special day. Why did Luo Qingyan give a gift to her? It must be a dagger, thought Yun Shang. Then she opened the box. To Yun Shang's surprise, there was a gold hairpin lying quietly in the box. The hairpin was a little special, with lotus flowers and lotus leaves on its head, which looked very vivid.

Yun Shang's face flushed as she saw the lotus. She stamped her feet and glared at Luo Qingyan. She shouldn't have let Luo Qingyan get what he wanted in the boat yesterday. Now he bought a gold hairpin with lotus pattern to remind her of the absurd thing yesterday.

Seeing the expression on Yun Shang's face, Luo Qingyan understood what she was thinking. He thought for a moment and smiled before walking to Yun Shang and put his arm around her shoulder, explaining in a rare good mood, ”Well, it's like not what you think. It's just that I heard from my secret guard that you went to jewelry stores to look for a gold hairpin today. So I asked the craftsman of the Department of Jewelry in the Palace to make a hairpin for you. But when the craftsman asked me what pattern I wanted, I really had no idea, so I asked him to make a one with lotus pattern.

Yun Shang was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She snorted, put the hairpin back into the box and threw it back to the dresser.

On the second day, Yun Shang woke up early, but she didn't want to get up. She stayed in bed until noon and asked Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo to serve her up.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Yun Shang sat down in front of the bronze mirror. ”I'll still go out to have a look in the city today. Make a simple bun for me.”

Qin Yi replied. She combed her a bun many ordinary ladies often made. Then she took out a jade hairpin from the jewelry box and was about to inserted in the bun. After thinking for a while, Yun Shang picked up the rosewood box beside her, opened it, took out the gold hairpin, and handed it to Qin Yi. ”Use this one.”

Qin Yi glanced at the hairpin and said with a smile, ”This hairpin is unique. I remember that Your Highness doesn't have such a hairpin...” Then she took the hairpin and put it on Yun Shang's head. But it seemed that she inserted it too hard that the tip of the hairpin went through the bun and stabbed her hand.

Qin Yi exclaimed. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at her, she quickly adjust the hairpin before looking at her own hand, only to find that it was bleeding.

”Are you ok? There are some medicine for wound healing on the bookshelf
