Chapter 197 Prelude to the Coming-of-Age Ceremony

"Xiao He, what's wrong? Why are you so startled?" Su Yue vaguely saw Xiao He's surprised face in the bronze mirror and asked softly.

"Second Miss, the roots of your hair are all black now." Xiao He raised her head and looked at Su Yue in the bronze mirror, with undisguised joy in her eyes.

The second young lady didn't eat well before, and was bullied, so her hair has always been yellow. Every time she combed the second young lady's hair, she felt sorry for her.

Outsiders only think that the Second Miss is vindictive and cold-hearted, but Xiao He can feel that the Second Miss is actually a very good person, and is especially kind to her, a servant.

"It should be because I have grown black hair. After all, I have been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for quite a while." Su Yue responded casually, but he didn't care at all.

In my previous life, I also had black hair growing on the back of my head.

After all, her blond hair wasn't natural.

"Second Miss, you are so beautiful. You will be even more beautiful when your black hair grows out completely." Xiao He said as she combed Su Yue's hair into a fairy bun.

Xiao He took out a pair of pure gold hairpins inlaid with blood-red rubies from the jewelry box. They had long tassels. The tassels were made of pearls and gold beads, and looked extremely expensive.

"This hairpin was specially customized for Madam." Xiao He said as she inserted the hairpin into Su Yue's bun, then took two steps back and nodded with satisfaction.

"This... isn't it a bit too exaggerated." Su Yue felt her head become heavier as soon as the hairpin was put on her head, which shows how heavy this hairpin is.

"Of course not. The Prime Minister and his wife are very concerned about the Second Miss's coming-of-age ceremony. Butler Su and the people in the mansion have been preparing for three days, and they seem to be still preparing the door now.

There must be many dignitaries coming this time, and only a lady like this can keep the situation under control. "After Xiao He finished speaking, she smoothed Su Yue's long hair and applied some osmanthus oil.

Then he began to change Su Yue's clothes.

She was wearing a plain white dress with a light pink long gauze on the outside and a big red belt around her waist. Because she liked the jade pendant given to her by the leader of Qionghua Village, she made it into a collar belt and hung it around her waist today.

After a long time, the door of Su Yue's room was finally opened. Shangguan Nanxing had been waiting at the door. Because it was Yue'er's most important coming-of-age ceremony, he didn't even let the servants inform her for fear of disturbing her.

A beautiful figure suddenly jumped into Shangguan Nanxing's eyes and his pupils shrank in surprise. He always knew that his Yue'er was pretty, though she was a little plump in the previous life. However, the spirit in her eyes could not be blocked.

Today, Yue'er has let go of her childish hairstyle and looks like she has grown into a real girl overnight.

"Nanxing, why didn't the servants tell you that you were coming?" Su Yue saw Shangguan Nanxing, smiled, and then pounced on him like a butterfly.

"I told the servants not to disturb you. Your coming-of-age ceremony today will naturally take more time." Shangguan Nanxing saw Su Yue standing in front of him and touched her head lovingly.

"It's still early, Brother Nanxing, let's go for a walk in the garden. I heard that a lot of early spring flowers have bloomed." After Su Yue said this, she took Shangguan Nanxing towards the garden.

People were in a hurry along the way, and one of them even bumped into Su Yue because of carelessness.

Just when the servant thought he was going to die today, the second young lady waved her hand nonchalantly and let the servant go.

"Yue'er looks really good in this outfit today."

Shangguan Nanxing and the others came to the garden. He looked at Su Yue's dress carefully again, his eyes full of admiration. Suddenly, he was attracted by the green hanging on Su Yue's clothes. The pattern of this jade pendant...

"Yuer, this, where did you get it from?" Shangguan Nanxing pointed at the jade pendant that the leader of Qionghua Village had given to Su Yue, with indescribable emotions.

"This? I saved a man's wife before, and he gave it to me. I thought it looked nice, so I asked someone to make it into a collar. What's the problem?"

Su Yue picked up the jade pendant casually and played with it in her hand, wondering what material the jade pendant was made of.

Although today is the beginning of spring, it is still a little chilly in this garden, but this jade pendant has a subtle warmth.

"I have seen the pattern on this jade pendant in the Shura Gate database. I thought it was special at the time, so I paid attention to it."

Shangguan Nanxing secretly used his inner strength and realized that there were no suspicious people around. He then lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Oh, what does the information say?" Su Yue noticed that Shangguan Nanxing's tone had lowered, and naturally she knew that this jade pendant might have a special meaning.

"It says that there should be half of this jade pendant left. It belongs to the Queen of Mo Country. The Queen of Mo Country gave birth to twins, and twins have always been a bad omen.

According to the national law of Mo Kingdom, one of them should be executed, but the queen couldn't bear it, so she broke the jade pendant into two and secretly sent one of the princes out of the palace. Unexpectedly, the jade pendant is in your hands. ”

Shangguan Nanxing looked at the jade pendant in Su Yue's hand and felt emotional.

"Fortunately, Yue'er is a girl, otherwise Brother Nanxing would suspect that Yue'er is the prince of an enemy country." Su Yue looked at the jade pendant, a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes, but she said teasingly.

"Don't joke, Yue'er. Not many people have seen this jade pendant, but it's too ostentatious for you to hang it up like this. After all, this jade pendant is really special, and there's no guarantee that someone will notice it. You'd better put it away."

As Shangguan Nanxing spoke, he helped Su Yue untie the red string of her collar, then he untied his own collar, which was only worn by the Third Prince, and put his arms around Su Yue's waist to help her tie it up.

"Brother Nanxing, this is yours."

Su Yue smelled the scent of Shangguan Nanxing so close to her and her face turned red. Because of his approach, her whole body stiffened with tension and she even forgot that she could push Shangguan Nanxing away.

"My things are Yue'er's things. Why are you still trying to cheat me? You hired me."

After Shangguan Nanxing finished, he put his arms around Su Yue's waist. Anyway, he would come over to offer the betrothal gifts after the coming-of-age ceremony, so he didn't mind if others saw them like this.

"Brother Nanxing, wait, you said this is the origin of this jade pendant, but does the information say that? Does the Crown Prince of Mo Country know about this? If he knows, what is his attitude?"

Su Yue suddenly remembered that she had met the leader of Qionghua Village and the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom. After comparing the two, she really couldn't see any similarities between them. Isn't it said that twins usually look exactly the same?

Moreover, the leader of Qionghua Village looks like a middle-aged man. He doesn't look like he is about the same age as the Crown Prince of Mo Kingdom?

Su Yue was bombarded with mysteries one after another, and she was confused for a while.

“The information said that the prince knew about it and had searched for him a few years ago. The prince seemed to care about his brother, who was born to the same mother as him, but he gave up because he didn’t find him.

At least that's what the documentation says. "Shangguan Nanxing finished speaking, and added, after all, people's minds change. Maybe they cared about it in the past few years, but who knows if they have changed their minds in recent years.

"Yu'er understands. By the way, Brother Nanxing, there is one thing I have not told you." Only then did Su Yue become serious and looked at Shangguan Nanxing with a stern face.
