Chapter 110 (1/2)
The next night, when chufei climbed the wall again to find her, Ning Nuan returned the wooden box to him.
Chu Fei was shocked and nearly fell from the wall. ”Why did you give this back to me? You don't like it? Or what's wrong? Or I'll go and pick for you in the warehouse again? ”
”This is what Princess Shu loved in her lifetime.” Rather warm light voice way: ”Your Highness, you may not have seen, that hairpin also engraved on the character, this hairpin, your highness or carefully take care of it.”
”Is the hairpin engraved with characters?” Chufei was stunned. He really didn't notice.
He said, then opened the wooden box and picked up the hairpin inside. The courtyard was dark, only the lanterns in the hands of the maids barely gave out some light. The moonlight in the sky shone in the snow, and the snow reflected the light faintly.
Chu Fei held the hairpin and quickly scratched it with his finger belly. He also found three uneven characters. He narrowed his eyes, and by the touch of his fingertips, he finally recognized the words on it.
It was given by the emperor to his mother?
When the first emperor and Princess Shu died, Chu Fei did not know anything about it. He only heard other people say that they were deeply married, but even this hairpin was the first time he saw it.
Chu Fei was stunned and said, ”I just dug it out of the warehouse at will.” When he saw the hairpin, he didn't think too much about it. He only thought it was good-looking. He wanted to give it to ah Nuan, but he didn't know that there was so much meaning behind the hairpin.
”Your Highness, take good care of it, but don't leave it anywhere.”
Chu Fei nodded and carefully received the hairpin into the box. He put the wooden box in his arms and said with apology: ”this was what I gave you before, but now I ask you to come back. I really feel sorry for you...”
Ning Nuan shook his head.
Chu Fei insisted: ”I took a hairpin, and I will make it up to you.”
“……”
The next day, the people of Prince an's house came to the door with many precious jewelry.
Those people hold the box in their hands. When the box is opened, all the people line up to show Ning Nuan the jewelry in the box, whether it is pearls, jades, or gems and agates, all of which are of great value. The little servant girls looked in a daze and moved their eyes.
Wang Quan said with a smile: ”Miss Ning, this is our Lord to make amends.”
”You take these things back. I don't need them.”
”Miss Ning, take it. If you let the Lord know, Miss Ning doesn't take anything. I don't know how to punish the slave.” Wang Quan said: ”Ning girl took it, Wang Ye naturally did not feel guilty.”
Ning Nuan:
Ning Nuan asked, ”where is your Lord?”
”The LORD went back to the palace and said he had something to look for.” Wang Quan said, ”Miss Ning, if you don't like these things, you can change them.”
“……”
Ning Nuan had to take it.
Those jewelry boxes, big and small, piled together, are very spectacular. As soon as Jiang Yunlan saw it, she couldn't help being surprised: ”did king an send you something again?”
”That's right, mother.” Ning Nuan said in a panic: ”the king of an is even more excessive than before. Originally I thought that an Wang had been very publicized, but now it is even more...”
Jiang Yunlan picked things out and said, ”what he sent is not bad.”
”Mother
”Ah Nuan, what are you worried about?” Jiang Yunlan said: ”from now on, you will be the princess. Although my mother is reluctant to do so, since you have married an Wang, you will naturally have a share of the things in Prince an's house. Now king an gives you something. In the end, you still have to go back with you to Prince an's house. You can't get out of the mansion with your left hand and right hand.”
It's better to be warm and a little embarrassed.
She did not expect that even her mother thought faster than she accepted.
She had to take it, as if it was getting used to it in advance.
……
Early in the morning, Chu Fei came out of the house next door to Ning's house and went back to his palace.
The housekeeper was very happy, but saw him all the way to the warehouse, and quickly followed up.
”Lord, what are you looking for? Is the servant here to help you? ”
”What about the things of my princess?” Chu Fei said, ”if I remember correctly, it's all in the warehouse?”
”Yes, yes. The servants will take care of all the things of Princess Shu.” The housekeeper said quickly, ”I will take you there.”
There is nothing in the storehouse that knows its position better than the housekeeper. He helped Chu Fei take care of the affairs in the palace, and even the storehouse was neat. There are a lot of things about Princess Shu, all in one place.
The housekeeper sighed: ”when the prince left the palace to build the mansion, the Empress Dowager took out these things, only then knew that the things of the Empress Dowager were still there. Since these things went out of the palace with them, the Lord hasn't seen them several times. He only took a hairpin last time and said that he wanted to give it to miss Ning When the princess comes, it's time to give the key to the warehouse to the princess. ”Chu Fei took out a wooden box from his arms and asked him, ”have you seen this one?”
The housekeeper took it and opened it. But he was stunned: ”isn't this the hairpin you took last time and said you wanted to give it to miss Ning?”
”That's right.” Chu Fei said: ”but later, Ning girl found that this is the father's gift to the mother's concubine, and then gave it back to me.”
The housekeeper was stunned and looked at it carefully. At last, he recalled some of it, but he could not help falling into the memory: ”I remember. This is indeed a gift from the first emperor to the Empress Dowager. If the old slave remembers correctly, the hairpin was designed by the first emperor himself and then made by a craftsman. The empress liked it very much, but she didn't wear it very often.”
”Why not?” Chu Fei asked: ”since the mother likes it, she wears it every day. Isn't the father more happy?”
The housekeeper said, ”the Empress Dowager doesn't like to show off. At that time, the whole harem was staring at it. If people knew that this was the emperor's intention, they didn't know how much trouble they would suffer.”
Chu Fei frowned and said, ”if you don't wear the hairpin, you'll hide it. I'm afraid my father will be very disappointed.”
The housekeeper doesn't know.
Chu Fei heart way: also don't know that hairpin engraved on the small a few words, his mother imperial concubine discovered.
If it wasn't for the death of Princess Shu, he would like to ask.
Chu Fei rummaged in the warehouse and finally found a lot of things. The former Emperor was somewhat similar to him. When he met his beloved, he liked to give her something. Not only the hairpin, but also Chu Fei found a lot of things, on which were carved the words ”to his wife”.
When he found these things, chufei changed his mind and thought: maybe he collected more, so he didn't feel strange.
He turned over everything and found nothing special, so he gave up. Before leaving, of course, I didn't forget to pick out a few things that fit my eyes from the warehouse. I only planned to give them to Ning Nuan at night.
”Lord.” The housekeeper stopped him suddenly.
When Chu Fei looked back, he saw that the housekeeper had an old book in his hand. When he looked at it, there was no word on the cover of the book, and he didn't know what it was.
But the housekeeper handed the book to him: ”the old slave saw the handwriting of the Empress Dowager.”
Chufei quickly took over.
When he opened it, he found out where the book was, and it was what Princess Shu had previously recorded. Chu Fei glanced at it. It turned out that when Princess Shu first entered the palace, he immediately became interested. Chu Fei also put the book in his arms, which just lifted his feet and went out.
He went out of the palace and went to deal with some official business. After finishing all the work, it was sunset. Before he went back, he went to the other side and bought Ning Nuan's favorite snacks. Then he went back to the house next door to Ning's family.
In the evening, he carried the snack box to climb the wall of the house next door. Listening to Ning Nuan's soft voice, he said thanks. Chu Fei was in a better mood and watched her go back to the house. Then he reluctantly came back.
It was not until he lay down that he remembered what he had brought out of the palace.
Chu Fei took the book out of his arms and looked at it curiously for a long time. With a secret peep at the excitement of his parents, he opened the first page and looked at it carefully from the beginning.
Princess Shu began to record when she entered the palace. It was a long time ago that she entered the palace. Princess Shu was a long way from the emperor. When she entered the palace, the children of the emperor had already been born.
Imperial concubine Shu's admission to the palace is different from that of ordinary people. Instead, she is called in by the Empress Dowager. When it comes to relationship, the Empress Dowager is a generation older than Princess Shu. They come from the same family.
It really needs to be said, but it has to be said from an earlier time. When the former Emperor was still the crown prince, he and her mother's family were combined for the sake of interests. There was not much emotion. Later, the former emperor ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager also became Queen from the crown prince. For many years, the former Emperor has always respected her very much, and has never let other empresses shake her position.
When the present emperor was also grown up, young and beautiful concubines came to the talent show in the imperial palace. However, the mother family of the former dynasty declined. The Empress Dowager was afraid of the decline of her mother family. The first emperor was attracted by those concubines, so she specially selected a beautiful young lady from her mother's family, who was Princess Shu.
When Princess Shu entered the palace, it was for her mother's family and for the empress dowager, but the first emperor was really moved to her, and so was she.
Over the years, the first emperor had great respect for the Empress Dowager. However, they were united for their interests, but they never had love. When they met Princess Shu, the old house was on fire and it was out of control.
After that, there was a story that Chu Fei was familiar with.
He flipped through a few pages to get to the back.
One day, Princess Shu was called by the Empress Dowager. In her records, she didn't say what she said. However, the record was chaotic and seemed to be shocked. Chu Fei carefully identified, but also can not be vague about what the content of the past.
He turned back and wrote later that Princess Shu had found a child in her stomach. When she saw this, Chu Fei was stunned, and then she was a little excited. However, she was very worried, and even her diary was full of worries.I don't know the reason behind it, and Princess Shu no longer records it.
Chu Fei closed the book and thought about it for a while. It was almost that soon after he was born, the first emperor suddenly died of a violent illness, and then Princess Shu died. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was adopted by the empress and grew up with other emperor's nephews.
The first emperor was in his prime. In the records of imperial concubine Shu, he didn't have any disease. He died suddenly, but it was really strange.
But only the meaning of the empress dowager, he really did not understand.
According to the records of imperial concubine Shu, the Empress Dowager will marry the former Emperor for the sake of the interests of her mother family. She and the former Emperor are allied for interests, and later will call his mother's concubine into the palace for the sake of interests. His mother's concubine can get the favor of the first emperor. Naturally, it's good for her family. Why does the Empress Dowager want to do something to Princess Shu?
If it's because of him, it's even more impossible.
Not to mention that at that time, his royal brother had become a prince. He had not even been born. Even if he had been born, he would not have shaken his position. If it's because of him, the Empress Dowager will not be able to keep him after his flustered and Princess Shu's death. In the harem, there are many ways to let a baby die. But the Empress Dowager left him and asked his Empress to raise him up. She doted on him in every way.
If it wasn't for his last life, he would have been cheated.
Before he died, he already knew everything. Although the Empress Dowager allowed him to grow up smoothly, she was kind-hearted and had no feelings for him. Chu Fei couldn't understand the reason. Until he came back again, he thought again and again. He could only think that he was not the mother's son.
But now, it seems that they are still related to the previous generation.
