"Come here, bring up the gift I prepared." Following Emperor Hui's order, Eunuch Wang brought an exquisite box.
Everyone's eyes followed the box, some curious about what was inside.
Wan Fei was delighted, but she didn't show it on her face. "Your Majesty, this is..."
Emperor Hui signaled Eunuch Wang to open the box.
The box was slowly opened, revealing twelve different types of jewelry, including earrings, rings, bracelets, jade pendants, love knots, love locks, jade hairpins, gold hairpins, combs, sachets, jade chains, and jade ruyi.
I heard that this is a token of love given to a loved one. How much one cares about the person depends on how good the gift is.
Emperor Hui took the box and placed it in front of Concubine Wan, "Wan'er, take a look. Do you like these styles?"
The late concubine took out a phoenix gold hairpin from the box. The hairpin was made in the shape of a phoenix, which was her favorite style.
She touched the phoenix gold hairpin and said to Emperor Hui with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your trouble."
It seems that Emperor Huidi put a lot of thought into it, after all, the styles he made were all the ones that his late concubine liked.
【Wow, this set of jewelry is really beautiful. 】
[I heard these are tokens of love, you are indeed my father, you are so good at coaxing people]
Hearing this, Emperor Hui couldn't help laughing.
Yan'er, daddy doesn't know how to coax people, otherwise your mother wouldn't have been angry for so long.
"I really want to see what my mother looks like wearing them on her head." Mu Nanyan couldn't help but sigh.
Emperor Hui raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth. "Wan'er, what do you think?"
Wan Fei nodded, "Then I'll trouble the emperor."
Then he picked up a golden phoenix hairpin and gently inserted it into her hair.
Wan Fei picked up the bronze mirror, looked at it carefully for a long time, and was quite satisfied with the hair accessories on her head.
Afterwards, Emperor Hui had lunch in Jinxiu Palace before leaving.
In the study, a palace maid was carefully sorting books.
Suddenly, she heard a strange sound.
"Help, someone save me." An androgynous voice sounded in her ears.
She looked around but saw no one.
"Who is talking? Don't play tricks on me." The maid said tremblingly.
She picked up the broom, walked towards the sound, and finally stopped in front of a painting.
This painting was a little strange. There was a handsome young man in the painting, but his eyes were staring straight at her.
Attracted by his eyes, the palace maid smiled foolishly, completely unaware of what she was doing.
She threw away the broom in her hand and muttered to herself, "Sir, what do you want me to do?"
I saw the person in the painting smiling, and his smile was somewhat charming.
"Hush, hold out your hand."
The palace maid seemed to be bewitched. She reached out her hand and touched the painting.
A white light flashed, and the palace maid disappeared, leaving only the broom on the ground to prove that she had been there.
But the painting suddenly changed. A monster was chewing something, with red liquid at the corners of its mouth.
If someone saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death.
In the evening, the sun gradually set.
A fat eunuch was cleaning outside the study door, when suddenly his eyes lit up.
Hey, what's that on the ground?
He walked closer and saw that it looked a bit like gold.
He squatted down in disbelief, looked around, made sure there was no one around, and quietly picked up the gold on the ground.
To make sure it was real gold, he put the gold between his teeth and bit it.
The gold was very hard and he couldn't bite it. It seemed to be real gold.
A feeling of joy rushed over my heart.
He wondered where the gold came from. Not giving up, he looked around again.
Another piece of gold fell not far away. The eunuch was secretly delighted, wondering which unlucky guy had lost so much gold today.
He walked to the front and found gold at the door of the study as well.
Anyway, no one nearby claimed it, so all the gold belonged to him.
In the palace, there was only so much silver money each month. Now that he had this gold, he could eat and dress well.
What he didn't know was that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If there is gold, it must be a trap set by someone on purpose.
He pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
There was a lot of gold scattered on the ground, and he kept moving forward following the scattered gold.
Finally he came to a painting and saw a huge piece of gold on the ground. He had never seen such a big piece of gold before.
Now I’m going to get rich, the eunuch thought.
He looked up at the painting, which showed a boy giving out money, holding gold ingots and looking at him with a smile.
"Do you want it? Come and get it if you want." Suddenly, the person in the painting spoke.
"I want it." The eunuch said unconsciously.
At this moment, his eyes were blurred as he stared at the gold ingots in the painting and reached out to take them.
With a "whoosh", the eunuch disappeared. This strange scene was not noticed by anyone.
It's a pity that the gold scattered on the ground was not picked up by anyone.
In Jinxiu Palace, the late concubine remembered that there was a book that might interest Yan'er.
She called Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, bring me the book 'Miscellaneous Chronicles'."
"Okay, my lady, I'll get it now."
After a while, Xia Zhi came to the door of the study and called Xiao Li, the palace maid who was in charge of the study.
"Xiao Li, where did this girl go?" Xia Zhi felt strange. Normally, as long as she called her, she would come to help.
Where did she go?
Never mind, let’s get the book first.
She walked straight to the bookshelf, saw the book, and took it without thinking.
Xia Zhi arrived late, and Wan Fei looked at Xia Zhi in surprise, "Why did you look for so long?"
Xia Zhi heard Wan Fei's question and handed the book to her.
Then she explained: "My lady, you don't know. I wanted to ask Xiao Li to help me find her, but I don't know where she went."
"She is not the kind of person who neglects her duties. She will report anything to me in advance."
Just as she was wondering, a little palace maid rushed in.
When she saw Wan Fei, she immediately knelt down. "Please, Madam, help me find Xiao Linzi."
"What, Xiao Linzi is missing too? How come they all disappeared?" Xia Zhi's voice suddenly became louder.
The young maid thought Xia Zhi didn't believe her, so she kowtowed and said, "He has been missing since last night. It was the eunuch who lived in the same room with him who said that."
This matter was too strange, so Wanfei decided to investigate it to see if they were lazy or missing.
Xia Zhi received instructions from Concubine Wan to summon all the palace maids and eunuchs in Jinxiu Palace.
She questioned them one by one, and except for the two of them, everyone else was there.
Except for the study room, all places in Jinxiu Palace were searched.
So, Xia Zhi told Wanfei about the results of the investigation.
"Your Majesty, I have searched everywhere, but it seems as if the two of them have disappeared. No one has seen them." Xia Zhi found this incredible.
