Chapter 107 Lost and recovered, the end of the wall returns to Zhao
This day was the day when Fufengtang listened to school. Because it had entered autumn and was not as hot as midsummer, the little women did not stay in Fufengtang for lunch, but returned to the courtyard where they lived. Yijing stepped into the Green Qingyuan with Ba Niang and An Jin, and listened to the three princes's talk about the arrival of the spring evening - a few days ago, she and Yu After a long talk, he had to accept Yu Wei's suggestion and entrust him with the orchid hairpin. The next day, Yu Wei sent a message saying that the matter had been basically solved, but the third prince had to hand back the orchid hairpin to reassure her.
Yi Jing guessed several times and didn't know how Yu Yu persuaded the evil, but she subconsciously believed Yu Yu's words and really didn't worry about the orchid hairpin anymore.
As soon as he heard that his grandmother had stayed in Yuanying Hall, Yijing knew that the third prince must have returned the orchid hairpin and did not propose any other conditions.
She was very curious. She didn't know how the evil would explain the cause and effect of the orchid hairpin, which made her grandmother's grudge disappear.
A lunch was boring. After An Jin and Ba Niang took a nap, Yijing couldn't help letting Qiu Yue, a "small psychic" go out to inquire and get a surprising news!
The eldest princess not only treated the third prince, but also invited Yichen to Yuanying Hall to meet the third prince.
Bingjing is inevitably worried, afraid that things will change, and the eldest sister still can't avoid the "doom" of marrying the third prince.
I was anxious, but I didn't want to come to Lvqingyuan. As soon as Yijing saw the eldest sister smiling like a spring breeze, she was slightly relieved. After a closer look, she found that the jade hairpin on the eldest sister's hair was the orchid hairpin that made her worried.
The two sisters went to the lotus pond together and dismissed the maidservant. Only then did Yijing urgently ask the reason.
"I was worried that my sister was still worried about me, so I hurried to come." Ychen smiled and said, "Grandma also told me not to say anything to anyone except the fifth sister."
Yingjing was anxious: "I heard that His Royal Highness stayed in Yuanying Hall for dinner today, but my sister met him?"
Yi Chen nodded slightly: "The reason why this hairpin has been lost and recovered is that it has won by the Third Highness... My grandmother asked me to go and thanked the Third Highness in person."
It turned out that today, the third prince met the eldest princess with the Duke of Wei in order to return the orchid hairpin. According to the third prince, at the beginning, because of his "admiration" Yichen, he begged in front of the queen. The queen's motherly heart promised to try her best to match, but it was learned by the "scheme" person in the prince's mansion that in order to be in the Lord In front of him, he flattered and strived for trust. Unexpectedly, he made his own decision. When he learned that the brother of the maid beside Yechen was easy to gamble, he trapped the well, lured his brother and sister to conspire to steal the things from Meichen's boudoir, and then secretly redeem them from the pawnshop. It was to prevent this marriage from hand over to the third prince and threaten the Duke of Wei. House.
Unexpectedly, things really had twists and turns, and the subordinate of the prince's mansion presented the jade hairpin without hesitation.
The third prince was furious, severely punished the domestic slave, and returned the hairpin to the original owner.
The third prince behaved very sadly today, but righteously. He said that although he had a "admiration" for Yichen, he deeply regretted that he had been uninspiring for a while, made mistakes, and ruined the marriage. He had no choice but to hope that Chen's sister would be safe and happy, and would never do anything harmful to Jinchen for life.
There are many loopholes in this sentence, but it seems to vaguely express that the matter of the orchid hairpin is related to the queen.
The eldest princess was a little confused, but when she learned that the hairpin involved the queen and the prince, it was inconvenient to pursue it deeper. She only ordered Yichen to tell Yijing one or two, and don't publicize it again.
After listening to this, of course, he did not believe a word of what the third prince said, but he was also amazed at the evil plan. Once, his behavior of taking the initiative to return the orchid hairpin will certainly make his grandmother grateful - the third prince was also forced to be helpless. He was so persistent in this marriage before, and there must be a queen fighting for the crown prince. The reason for the situation, but the third prince was still a real person. He not only did not leak Yichen's private things, but also returned them to the original owner. He generously blessed the "heart" with peace and joy, expressing that he had given up his persistence, and most of his grandmother's grudges in his heart were probably gone. Second, he always talked about things without revealing him. In the eyes and ears of the Duke of Wei, he successfully pulled the queen into the water, once again emphasizing that he was forced to be helpless.
However, when the matter came here, it was also a satisfactorily resolved. Yijing did not expose the intention of the third prince. She really wanted to stay away from this evil.
"Five sister, but there is one thing, I think I'm very uneasy." But Ichen said.
After all, he still hesitated, as if he had no courage to say it. Yichen played with the jade pendant hanging from his skirt awkwardly, looked up at the beautiful scenery, shook his head again, and frowned.
"If you have something to say, you'd better say it. If you press it in your heart, it will only make you feel uncomfortable." Yingjing advised.
Yi Chen was silent for a long time before he hesitated: "Today, my grandmother called me to Yuanying Hall. First, she relayed the words of the Third Highness one by one and told me to thank the Third Highness in person, but she still kept me in the back/court and specially asked me to bring this hairpin... After a while, my mother came and saluted the Third Highness first, and then Grandma came to the back/court together... I saw that my grandmother should not have told her mother about the orchid hairpin.
Hearing this, beautiful scenery was completely out of the point. Seeing that Yechen fell into the desire to talk and stop again, it was not easy to urge. During these days, she knew more about the eldest sister's temperament. If she urged too much, she would be more hesitant and had to wait quietly.
"Fifth sister, I seem to feel that my grandmother has some misunderstanding my mother... Today, my grandmother's eyes were very sharp, and I was afraid. Later, my grandmother asked my mother how to choose Zhi Lanxuan's maids at the beginning, how many families had children and how many were bought from outside. Finally, she said that the current ones When the maid is not young, she will simply let her go. Grandma will choose a personal maid for me in person.
Hearing this, Yijing suddenly realized that her grandmother's hidden behavior since she learned about the disappearance of the orchid hairpin was clearly suspicious of the Huang family.
In fact, the scenery was not without this suspicion at first. After all, Zhi Lanxuan's maid was chosen by the Huang family. If such a big thing happened, if her mother didn't know anything about it, she couldn't tell the truth.
Then he asked Jinchen, "Look at that sister, how is her mother's expression today?"
"as usual, when I saw the hairpin on my hair, I said with a smile. It was rare for me to carry it in the past, but today it is fresh. It is also said that it is better to bring jade hairpins and jade pendants often. It is always kept, but there is no spirituality." Yichen was obviously extremely worried: "My mother has always treated us as if we were kissed, and even Sanlang Liu Niang can's be compared. How can it be... If my grandmother misunderstands her mother, she should be sad."
For Huang Shi, not only has respect for Yichen. Although Yijing grew up in front of the eldest princess, she is not as close as Yichen and his stepmother, but she is also very respectful, and she does not want to suspect that Huang is a scheming person.
"Don't worry, my grandmother must be clear about right and wrong. After all, it was the maid around my sister who caused such a thing. It is reasonable for my grandmother to be a little dissatisfied with her mother." In addition, the scenery did not say anything. Although she did not want to doubt the Huang family, she was very much in favor of her grandmother's decision. Several first-class maids must marry their eldest sister in the future. If someone is unfaithful, she can't protect the fuss in the future. It is safe for her grandmother to choose herself.
"In fact, it's my fault. If I had told my mother earlier, I wouldn't have been blamed by my grandmother." Ichen blamed himself very much.
Yijing had to comfort her a few more words and sent her eldest sister away. Seeing that it was time to go to Fufeng Hall to listen to the lecture, she was still with Ba Niang,
An Jin went together, but she was a little absent-minded all afternoon.
It's still the orchid hairpin.
This matter should have nothing to do with the empress. The reason why the empress strongly favored the marriage between the third prince and the Duke of Wei is to stabilize the prince's situation. But if she does something to threaten for this purpose and completely offend the Duke of Wei, isn't it more than the loss? For the same reason, the third prince would not rush to make waves with orchid hairpins, so he threatened with words at the beginning and did not take any first step.
This seems to show that there are indeed a few truths in what the third prince said today.
The disappearance of the orchid hairpin should not be due to the plot of the third prince - this is also in line with the truth previously found. The thief Ah Qing was not instructed.
The evil city is extremely deep. He would not do such a stupid thing and try to save his marriage with a hairpin. If he wanted to revenge on the Duke of Wei and destroy his eldest sister's reputation, he would not have confessed the whereabouts of the orchid hairpin to himself.
Thinking this way, it really seems that someone wanted to please the third prince before redeeming the orchid hairpin from the pawnshop and hand it over to him.
Will this person be Mother Song?
After all, Yuzhi's family had frequent contact with Mother Song after the disappearance of the orchid hairpin, and their attitude changed greatly. From reporting to the Duke's wife to later dissuade the eldest sister from saying anything, it was very strange to think about it.
But why did Mother Song help the third prince? Why do you want to match the marriage between the eldest sister and the third prince? This makes the scenery puzzled again.
It seems that we still need to find clues on the pawnshop to expose the dark shadow.
Yijing made up her mind and asked Xia Ke to inform Sanshun on the same day, asking him to "make friends" the pawnshopkeeper deliciously, and repeatedly reminded him not to forget the appearance of the person who redeemed the hairpin - because someone deliberately asked about the orchid hairpin with a painted pattern and redeemed it with a lot of money, the shopkeeper still had an impression, but according to his description, It is a middle-aged man with two eyes and one mouth. There is no conspicuous place on his face, and he has never met, and he is also an unknown surname.
With this clue, it is undoubtedly whimsic to find the person who redeems the hairpin among all living beings.
But Yijing is unwilling to give up. She guessed that the ten * of the people who redeemed the hairpin were related to the Duke of Wei, otherwise it was related to Mother Song, and it may still appear in the future. If there is a suspect, it can be recognized by the pawn shopkeeper in person.
In a word, on this day at the end of August of the third year of Yuanqing, the autumn was refreshing and sunny. Because of the arrival of the third prince, many people in the Duke's mansion had different emotions - although the eldest princess felt that there was still something strange about this matter, there was nothing suspicious about the Huang family and temporarily relieved her; Yichen was relieved and wanted to marry at ease. ; In addition to many doubts, Mother Song was surprised to see the orchid hairpin on Yichen's hair and thought about it several times. Naturally, she didn't know what it was going on, so she cleverly chose to be silent. There was also a Sanniang, who fell into a trance and anxiety in the afternoon. In the afternoon, when she practiced calligraphy in Fufeng Hall, she actually However, she touched ink with her fingers... attracted a mockery from An Hui and Er Niang, but she didn't want to say a word back.
In addition, when Duke Wei, who only learned today that his daughter had lost his orchid hairpin, sent the third prince away and returned to Heruiyuan, he banged the door of the bedroom with a bang.
