The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 122 The Jade Pendant Is on Her
"Your Highness, please look." The shopkeeper brought out a black ebony box. Inside the box was a mutton-fat jade hairpin lined with black satin. The hairpin was crystal clear like the moonlight, and the head was carved into a half-opened Epiphyllum. There were two dewdrops made of gold wire at the pistil, which was made of cat's eye stone tributed from the Western Regions.

"This is a hairpin made by two hundred craftsmen in my shop over a three-year period. It is called 'Moon Soul'." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "There is only one hairpin like this in the world. Your Highness has a good eye."

Ye Jingnian took out two gold leaves from his sleeves and said, "Wrap it up."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The apprentice carefully placed the hairpin into the brocade box, and Ye Jingnian picked it up and turned away.

Bai Muling frowned, picked up her skirt and ran out, smiling and said, "Your Highness, this is..."

Ye Jingnian raised the brocade box in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said to her, "Did you hear that? There is only one of its kind in the world, don't break it."

Bai Muling raised her beautiful lips and said softly, "Yes, I heard it. I will definitely not damage it. Your Highness, don't worry."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the brocade box with anticipation. Although it was not the one she liked just now, this was the first time that Ye Jingnian wanted to give her something.

But he had no intention of giving it to her. When his hand fell, he took the brocade box back into his own arms.

Bai Muling's eyes, which were originally sparkling with light, dimmed in an instant. She bit her lip secretly, clenched her fists, and her long nails dug into her flesh.

It must be given to that vixen again!

Qianji Pavilion.

Hundreds of glazed lanterns were hung on the golden nanmu stage, making the stage look like a falling starry sky.

The play "The Reconciliation of the General and the Prime Minister" was being performed on the stage, which was Sheng Yunqing's favorite show.

Sheng Yunqing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and looked at the half-human-high sandalwood puppet on the stage with his smiling peach blossom eyes. When he saw the wonderful parts, he couldn't help but applaud.

Lu Changxuan held the sugar man, leaned against the vermilion railing, looked at Su Lan's profile, drew a talisman in the air with his finger, and waved it towards her scabbard.

Su Lan felt uneasy. She frowned and glared at Lu Changxuan, saying, "Why are you staring at me instead of watching the show?"

Lu Changxuan held up the sugar phoenix and said, "Look, Xiaolan, is this phoenix more majestic than the sparrow on your sword tassel?" He flicked his fingertips, and the sugar phoenix suddenly flapped its wings, sprinkling gold foil all over Su Lan's skirt.

"If you call me Xiaolan again, I'll nail your tongue to the wall!" Su Lan held the sword in her hand and stabbed him in the stomach with the hilt.

"Xiao Lan'er, you have such a cruel heart..." Lu Changxuan cried out in pain and looked at her aggrievedly.

"Hmph." Su Lan snorted coldly, turned her head away, and said, "Still eating and drinking? Fairy Sister wants us to concentrate and cheer up!"

"Isn't everything fine?" Lu Changxuan said lazily as he moved closer to her and said with a grin, "I just asked for a marriage fortune at the Yue Lao Temple, and Yue Lao said that we are destined to be together..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Changxuan was stepped on the instep by the embroidered shoes.

Su Lan looked at him, who was jumping up and down in pain, and snorted indifferently, saying, "Boring!"

At the climax of the play, twenty-four silver threads pulled a hundred-jin warhorse puppet into the air, and the mechanism in the horse's belly suddenly opened, and thousands of pieces of gold foil fluttered like snow.

"Good!" Applause broke out from the seats.

Ye Jingnian and Bai Muling entered the venue and sat on the Luanfeng chair next to Ye Jinlan.

Ye Jinlan returned home and changed his clothes just in time to catch up with this wonderful puppet show. Looking at Ye Jingnian who was late, he smiled and said, "Prince missed the show. Why are you here so late?"

Hearing Ye Jinlan's voice, Ye Jingnian's heart suddenly surged with anger. He pursed his lips and leaned on the chair. The four-clawed golden python on his python robe looked alive under the lamp. His pair of murderous phoenix eyes were cold and wanton, and his fingers were tapping regularly on the table.

Bai Muling raised his eyebrows. Ye Jingnian and Ye Jinlan had never had any contact before. Why did Ye Jingnian suddenly become so cold towards him? Could it be... that the star jade pendant really belonged to Zhixing?
After thinking about it, she suddenly chuckled to herself. She had only tried it out, but she never expected it to be so successful.

The gong sounded suddenly, and the floor tiles on the stage suddenly flipped over. Twelve puppets jumped into the air on springs, and the weapons in their hands actually struck each other and made a sound.

Mu Jiyue, who was sitting in front of Ye Jinchen, supported her chin with both hands, looked at Ye Jingnian and Bai Muling sitting next to each other, and muttered: "What a loving couple, when can Brother Chen sit next to me..."

She rolled her eyes, suddenly chuckled, looked at Bai Muling who was concentrating on watching the puppet show, and said teasingly: "It seems that the love will not last for a few days."

After thinking about it, her mood suddenly improved. She turned her eyes, turned her head and smiled at Ye Jinchen, "Brother Chen, I just saw a couplet, and I can't match it. Exquisite dice and red beans, do you know what the next sentence is?"

Ye Jinchen glanced at her coldly and did not respond.

"Princess Qinxue is the legitimate princess of Western Shu, how come she doesn't even know such a simple sentence?" Sheng Yunqing teased with a smile.

Seeing Sheng Yunqing's unhappy response, the twinkling light in Mu Jiyue's eyes was extinguished.

She glared at Sheng Yunqing impatiently, and her eyes seemed to see something when she glanced over, then turned back and fixed on the jade pendant around her waist.

She stared at the star-shaped jade pendant in surprise, and her heart skipped a beat.

How could this jade pendant be in her hand...

No, she heard it clearly at the gate of Prince Xian's mansion. The jade pendant could not possibly be hers.

When I went to see King Xian, King Xian also said that it was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. In recent days, he also secretly sent some assassins into the palace to steal, but all of them failed.

Her flustered eyes gradually calmed down, and she took a few deep breaths, comforting herself that it was okay, she must not know the secret of this jade pendant yet...

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, and she said, "Hey, isn't this starlight jade pendant on the notice posted in Prince Xian's Palace?"

Mu Jiyue deliberately raised her voice and said to Ye Jinlan angrily, "Prince Xian, you are too partial. Jiyue likes that jade pendant very much. Didn't Lord Xian say that he was unwilling to give it up? Jiyue spent a huge sum of money to get it, so why did you give it to Miss Sheng..."

Ye Jinchen's eyes dimmed, he put down the wine cup with a "pop" and looked at Ye Jinlan with a frown.

Hearing this, Ye Jinlan was slightly stunned, but did not give any explanation, just smiled faintly.

Sheng Yunqing watched Ye Jinchen's hands unconsciously clenched on his knees. She raised her hand and gently stroked it, patting the back of his hand lightly, also lowering her head and saying nothing.

Ye Jingnian frowned. Why was the jade pendant in Sheng Yunqing's hand?

The image of Zhixing kneeling in front of him with tears in her eyes appeared in his mind, and his thoughts suddenly stopped.

Could it be that he misunderstood her?
"Your Highness, isn't the star-shaped jade pendant on the notice Zhixing's?" Bai Muling asked softly.

Ye Jingnian pursed his lips, his thoughts already drifting far away, and he did not respond.

Bai Muling rolled her eyes in confusion. Based on her understanding of King Xian, it was unlikely that he would resell other people's things. Could it be that... the jade pendant belonged to Sheng Yunqing?
Mu Jiyue's words were enough to make everyone feel uneasy and they raised the corners of their lips with evil intentions.

She felt much more comfortable in the current atmosphere.
