Chapter 71 Who Moved My Crescent Emerald

Xiao Luo picked up a few snacks and took a sip of tea before talking to his mother about the concubine. Maybe he hasn't seen his concubine for some days. Xiao Luo nagging about a lot of trivial things in the royal palace, while Shangguan Ya looked at his chattering daughter and listened quietly with a smile.

It has been three days since Xiaoluo returned home. Today is the second day of the lunar new year and tomorrow is the auspicious day for the emperor to get married. Originally, it was a big deal for the prince to marry a concubine. According to the rules, three days was not enough to prepare, but this marriage was also saved one by one, just some of the tedious etiquette ordered by the emperor.

This morning, Xiaoluo was called up by Dongyu Xiahe while she was still sleeping. Xiaoluo rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the sky outside the window and couldn't help muttering, "Sister Xia He, what time is it now..."

"Miss, it's already time. Maybe the weather is bad today to light up a little slower." Dongyu took Miss's clothes and saw that the lady fell back to the bed and couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Miss, it's the second day of the lunar month..."

"What's wrong with the second day of junior high school... Isn't it the third year of junior high school..." Xiao Luo rubbed hard on the bedding, and it was still the most comfortable to hide in the bedding on this cold day.

"I'm afraid the prince will come to give the bride price today. Isn't she curious about how much the prince will put on display?" Xia He came in through the door with hot water. The cold wind outside took the opportunity to sneak in through the open door, bringing a chill.

"It's so cold!" Xiao Luo also felt the coolness of "giving a bride price?" He must be the prince. There is nothing to be curious about. That said, Xiao Luo was indeed a little curious. He had never seen this ancient wedding before.

Dongyu and Xia He looked at each other and smiled. As long as the young lady showed such a look, her heart must be different. Miss, how is this dress? How festive it is. Dongyu asked with the big red clothes in his hand.

Xiaoluo's sleepiness was gone when he was blown by the cool wind, so he simply sat up wrapped in a mattress and said, "The big red robe that will be worn when we get married tomorrow, won't we wear it today?" Little Luoben didn't like red and always felt like a female ghost on his body.

"What Miss said..." Dongyu put the red clothes into the box, frowned and looked at all kinds of clothes in the box and took them out. "Miss's eyes are better than slaves, let's choose by herself..."

Xiao Luo glanced at casually and glanced at the clothes in Dongyu's arms, which were either pink or tender yellow. He couldn't help curling his little mouth and said, "Sister Dongyu, you are going to dress Luo Er as a little flower... The colors are too bright. Luo Er remembers that there is a light green skirt in the box. That one is quite good."

Seeing that the lady's clothes she took didn't look at her, Dongyu's weak heart was a little hurt... "Miss, is my eyesight so bad?" There are at least more than a dozen clothes in my arms, but the young lady didn't even look at any of them.

Seeing Dongyu's sobbing appearance, Xiao Luo looked up and sighed, "Alas... just that light purple dress!" Xiao Luo can barely see it in so many clothes.

Dongyu picked out the lavender clothes happily, and put the rest back in the box. "Miss, I will change clothes for you!"

Lin Fu is busy, and Liu Fu is naturally busy. It's just that Liu Shuihan has been getting up for a long time and is trying on clothes one by one. Xiaohuan, do you think this red one looks good? I think this color is simpler..." This is the eighth one changed by Liu Shuihan. Either the color is not bright enough or the style is not good-looking.

"Miss looks good and looks good in any clothes... But tomorrow is the day of the young lady's marriage. The wedding dress is also red. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to wear red today..." Xiao Huan thought about it and said timidly. Xiao Huan has answered this question more than ten times and is scolded every time.

Liu Shuihan was about to open his mouth to scold and think that Xiaohuan said something. "It's finally right once. Go and bring me that purple dress..." He called the maid beside him to take off the red for himself. Liu Shuihan remembered that he had gone to Fenglai Pavilion last month to make a new dress that he had not worn before. That color The style is not deep or shallow, which is also quite unique. It happens to be worn today and waits for the prince to send the bride price.

Xiaohuan hurriedly trotted to bring over the clothes assigned by the young lady. After Liu Shuihan changed it, Xiaohuan was stunned. The young lady in this dress was a little too beautiful. If she didn't open her mouth, she would be as beautiful as the fairy in the myth.

"Small ring!" As soon as Liu Shuihan changed into the newly made clothes, he noticed something wrong. He pulled his sleeve and saw that one emerald was missing from the cuffs decorated with seven emeralds. Fenglai Pavilion is the most expensive clothing store in Kyoto. It is often hundreds of two pieces of silver to make clothes there.

Liu Shuihan was originally an arrogant person. That time, he was squeezed by an official lady and said that he could not afford to make Fenglai Pavilion clothes. For a moment, he was angry and chose the best silk and satin, and let the shopkeeper take 14 good jades on both sides of his sleeves.

The lady didn't know that she was the daughter of Master Liu. Hearing her request, she only thought that Liu Shuihan was desperate for face and laughed. Until Liu Shuihan took out a thousand two taels of silver tickets from her purse and patted them in front of the shopkeeper and said that all the rest of the silver in her clothes and emeralds were rewarded to the tailors. Only then did he know that he might have provoked people who should not be provoked, and hurriedly escaped from Fenglai Pavilion with his servants.

Xiaohuan was so scared by the young lady's roar that she almost collapsed to the ground. She reluctantly stabilized her legs and asked timidly, "What's wrong with Miss calling me?"

The emerald was not big, and all of them were polished into a crescent shape. Liu Shuihan loved it very much. Naturally, he was extremely angry to see one missing one. "Why is the crescent emerald missing from this sleeve!" Although Liu Shuihan doesn't care about that little silver, the whole dress is useless without one.

After listening to Miss's words, Xiaohuan found that the cuffs of the clothes were also inlaid with emerald. Looking carefully, it was really crescent-shaped, but one of the cuffs was missing. "Miss, I don't know. After taking it out of the box, I came directly to the lady..." Xiaohuan was poor, but the jade has heard of it, although I don't understand it. The jadeite is good or bad, but I also know that the small piece of jadeite may not be able to afford it if it is sold.

"This dress was still good the day before yesterday. Why do you lose the jade as soon as you take it!" Liu Shuihan originally wanted to wear that dress for his birthday. The day before yesterday, he took it out and saw that the emerald was indeed a lot at that time. There was no one else in this room except a few maids.

Xiaohuan also knew this. Seeing the young lady's angry questioning, she suddenly panicked and knelt down to the ground. "Miss, I really don't know why this crescent emerald is missing... The box is placed not far from the lady's bed, even if I have great courage. I dare not steal it in front of the young lady!"

Liu Shuihan was also angry for a while, and he felt that it was true after listening to Xiaohuan's words. Xiaohuan usually knows that she is timid, but she saw this dress the day before yesterday, but why did she lose a piece of jade in two days?

"Have you ever seen anyone enter this room except you these days?"

Chunxi and Shuixiu, who were busy helping the lady choose jewelry, shook their heads. In the past few days, Chunxi and Shuixiu, who had been busy with the young lady's marriage, were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest. How could they pay attention to whether there were others entering this room?

"Miss, will the thread fall loose in the box?" Chunxi put down the selected jewelry and said. Xiaohuan, why don't you go to the road you just walked and look for it carefully?

Xiaohuan may really have this possibility. He quickly got up and ran to the place where the box was placed by the bed and looked carefully. However, the crescent emerald was originally small and green, and the floor of Liu Shuihan's boudoir was also covered with emerald green blankets, which was not easy to find.

But in order to prove his innocence, he did not hesitate to crawl on the ground to look for it, and even carefully searched the cracks under the cabinet under the bed. After searching the last possible place, I couldn't find the crescent emerald.

"Can you find the little ring?" Chunxi Xiaohuan Shuixiu and the three of them fell in love with their sisters. At this time, it was also uncomfortable to see Xiaohuan's anxious look. "It's not good for you to look at a young age. I'll help you find it." With that, Chunxi put the jewelry in his hand and went to the bedside to look for it carefully.

"Sister Chunxi..." Xiaohuan clenched her lips for fear of crying. "Sister Chunxi, I've searched everywhere, but I didn't see the crescent emerald. What do you think I should do..." Xiaohuan and Chunxi squatted together and deliberately lowered their voices for fear of being heard by the young lady.

Chunxi also knew that the emerald was a very valuable thing. Seeing the young lady's angry appearance, she knew that the crescent emerald must be expensive. I'm afraid that these maids can't work for the house for a lifetime.

"Xiaohuan, think about it carefully. Have you ever seen how many crescent emeralds there are after taking out the clothes?"

Xuan sucked her nose and whispered, "Sister Chunxi, what kind of temper is Miss? You also know that if I slow down, I will be scolded again, so I took out my clothes and hurriedly sent them to the lady. How can I pay attention to whether the sleeve is emerald on the sleeve..."

After listening to Xiaohuan's words, Chunxi was helpless. Although she believed that Xiaohuan could not be so bold to pick the emerald in front of the young lady, there were only so many people in this room who took out the clothes of Xiaohuan. Miss would certainly not believe that the emerald was not taken by Xiaohuan.

"Chunxi, Xiaohuan, what are you muttering about there? Have you found the jade?" Looking at the clothes without a piece of emerald on the sleeve, I couldn't wear it. I called Shuixiu to take off my clothes for myself and looked up and saw the two maids squatting together and saying something.

Xiaohuan was so panicked that he heard the young lady call himself, and his calves collapsed directly on the ground.
