Chapter 6 Sister, Why Are You...
Since last time.
Mingyue got a promise from the prince.
It also sowed discord between the two.
So he stayed at home and did not go to the Prince's Mansion to add fuel to the fire.
She knows that too much is as bad as too little.
Two days passed in a flash.
The return of the Small Town Northern King to the capital was grand, and the people of the capital were extremely grateful to the Small Town Northern King, the god of war who guarded the border and protected their safety.
A welcoming ceremony.
Huo Xingchen had to first enter the palace to be commended by the emperor and congratulated by all the ministers.
The celebration banquet at the Prince’s Mansion will be held tomorrow.
Hua Xiaoyun prepared jewelry for Mingyue for tomorrow in advance. These days, her grandfather happened to have sent her two Nine Plum Pearl Hairpins from Jiangnan.
It was written by Master Ouyang.
There are only two in the world.
"Do you like it? Your grandfather got these two hairpins and sent people to travel thousands of miles without stopping, and they were finally delivered to me yesterday." Hua Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Mingyue looked at the two hairpins, made of pink jade and embellished with pearls, with nine plum blossoms that looked lifelike.
Stunning.
His eyes rolled.
"Mother, please give one of these to my sister."
Hua Xiaoyun frowned.
I don't quite understand.
"this…"
But when it comes to her precious daughter, she always feels that she can't love her enough, so she continues to dote on her.
"You have the final say over your things. I support you in everything you do. It's just a hairpin. If you want to give it to me, just give it to me. I'll ask my grandfather to find you something better later."
Mingyue did not explain.
Looking at the precious and exquisite hairpin, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
*
Prince's Mansion.
Qingning came with a wooden box to deliver the hairpin. Thinking of what the young lady said, she deliberately took a detour and passed by the door of the prince's study.
The prince's guards were so familiar with Qingning when they met him.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Although he was no longer so convinced of the Crown Princess's kindness, he had a deep understanding of the Second Miss's viciousness.
The second young lady wanted to come to the Prince’s Mansion before.
He stopped me.
I pointed at his nose and scolded him so many times that he wanted to go back to his mother's womb.
"What are you doing here?"
Qingning pretended to be lost and stopped.
"My young lady recently acquired two exquisite hairpins with nine plum blossom pearls made by Master Ouyang. She wanted me to send one to the Crown Princess, but I only visited the Crown Prince's Mansion once before and I don't remember the way. Alas, I got lost."
Wei Chao didn't quite believe it.
Is the second young lady so good?
Who was the person who had called him a watchdog, a long-faced donkey, a big-footed duck, a hoarse voice, and green eyes with upturned noses?
He would rather suspect that there was a hidden weapon than believe that there was a hairpin.
It is still a rare treasure.
"You...you open it, let me check it."
Qingning had no choice but to open it.
Take it out carefully.
The hairpin is even more gorgeous and dazzling in the sunlight.
Even Wei Chao was stunned for a moment.
Even though he is a man, he thinks this hairpin is beautiful.
I couldn't help but feel guilty.
It was clearly proven last time that the second young lady is a good person, just a little willful.
It was really wrong for him to have doubts.
"Okay, put it away quickly. The Crown Princess's palace is over there. Just turn right and you'll get there."
Qingning left in that direction.
After Wei Chao showed the way, he looked at Qing Ning's back, scratched his head and muttered in confusion.
"The Second Young Lady sent someone to deliver something. Why didn't the Crown Princess send someone to lead the way?"
The windows are open.
Huo Chenyuan happened to see the conversation between Wei Chao and Qing Ning and the dazzling hairpin, and knew everything they said.
Huo Chenyuan looked down at the memorial.
I just can't get into it.
The face I caught a glimpse of that day and the soft body that hit my chest kept circling in my mind.
Be aware of what you are thinking.
Huo Chenyuan's face turned ashen.
He shook his head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
The one he loved was Lian'er. Even though Lian'er was different from what he had imagined, he was sure that he loved Lian'er.
For the bright moon.
He had misunderstood her before.
So there is only guilt and apology.
Nothing else.
From now on, he will only treat her as his sister.
I will just choose a good man for her to marry in the future and support her in the future.
Thinking like this.
Calm down in your heart.

On this day, the town officially held a celebration banquet for the Northern King Huo Xingchen.
Mingyue got up early in the morning to dress up, and all the maids rushed to Mingyue Tower to wait for her opportunity.
The competition at that time was fierce and bloody.
Just to serve the only legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, who is like a fairy.
She was wearing a light pink brocade fairy dress, her hair was combed into a flying fairy bun, her arms were wrapped with colorful fairy gauze, and she wore a rain-die hairpin on her head.
Swaying gently with every movement.
The most eye-catching one is the exquisite hairpin with nine plum blossom pearls, which is sparkling and dazzling.
A flower ornament on the forehead.
It's like a goddess descending to earth.
Overlooking all living beings.
As soon as he stood up.
The room was filled with flowers, and all the servants gasped.
They have been serving the Second Young Miss for more than three years, but every time they see her, they feel like they are dazzled and unable to walk.
How can there be such a beauty in the world?
Hua Xiaoyun took two steps forward, her eyes full of smiles.
"The celebration banquet was held at the Crown Prince's Mansion. The court officials attended yesterday. Today is your family's acquaintance. His Majesty held it twice in order to allow the Northern King of this small town to choose a suitable candidate. If there is a lady he likes, His Majesty will grant the marriage."
"You and him had a disagreement in the past, so remember to stay away from him. He wouldn't dare to do anything to you openly when there are many people around. Remember?"
Mingyue held Hua Xiaoyun's arm affectionately.
"Mother, you have told your daughter many times, so don't worry, your daughter knows what's going on."
Hua Xiaoyun tapped her nose lovingly.

With Qingqiu and Qingning by his side, he rode in the extremely luxurious and unique red-gold carved-wheeled carriage in the capital and headed straight for the Prince's Mansion.
We headed straight to the lotus pond with a purpose.
She remembered that there was a plot here.
Minglian fell into the water.
The prince came to the rescue.
The relationship between the two became even warmer and sweeter, and the relationship between the prince and Minglian spread throughout the capital and became a legend.
Even the queen, who had always disliked Minglian, compromised a little.
No longer obstructing the prince and Minglian.
How could such a good thing happen without the presence of a vicious female supporting role like her?
Just arrived at the corner of the lotus pond.
I saw Prince Minglian standing by the pond. From a distance, they really looked like a perfect match.
The prince was dressed in a dragon robe, with a tall and graceful figure, and was extremely noble.
The cold and distant eyes of others always warm and soften when facing Minglian.
Then came the prince's inquiry.
"Today is the celebration of the Northern King of this small town, and it can also be considered as a celebration for my cousin. Why don't you wear the clothes I ordered the clothing bureau to make for you, Princess? Don't you like them?"
That’s right, Minglian was still wearing a simple white dress and a silver hairpin today.
Minglian lowered her head and smiled shyly.
"I simply feel that my background is more fortunate than most people, and I'm also fortunate to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I could exchange my possessions for money and give them to those poor people. When I think that a single hairpin could be enough to save so many people, I feel uneasy."
"And as your Highness knows, I have never been fond of silks and satins, gold, silver, and jade ornaments like my younger sister."
Mingyue stared at Minglian, scratching the bark with her hands.
This bitch!!
He's teasing her again!!
"I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty's number one imperial merchant galloped to the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion to deliver a hairpin, truly peerless, with only two of them left. Didn't the mansion send one to you?"
Huo Chenyuan seemed to be just curious, and his tone was nonchalant, as if he was just asking casually.
Minglian's face froze.
It was difficult to maintain a smile, and the corners of her mouth revealed a hint of bitterness. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were sad, especially since she was dressed in white and had a slender figure, which really gave her a sense of purity.
Make this expression.
It will make people feel that they have been wronged.
"Your Highness knows that I am only a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion. Especially since my younger sister got lost due to playfulness, it is understandable that my parents doted on her after she returned. As her elder sister, how could I possibly compete with her for something?"
She seemed to be being tolerant and generous in her words.
In fact, every word he said was saying that the Marquis's family was partial and Mingyue was arrogant.
She was struggling.
She lowered her head and therefore did not notice the coldness in Huo Chenyuan's eyes as he looked at her.
Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore.
That bastard Huo Chenyuan didn't look like he was going to pursue the matter.
It’s time for her to water the seeds that were planted before!
He pretended to be surprised and walked out.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are here!!"
Minglian and Huo Chenyuan looked over at the same time.
The two of them had different looks in their eyes.
One was so stunned that his pupils trembled.
A shocked jealousy, quickly hidden.
Mingyue just pretended not to see it.
Still like a little sun.
"Brother-in-law, you said last time that I could see you without bowing, so I really won't bow! Brother-in-law, you won't blame me, right?"
Huo Chenyuan had already regained his surprise and responded with a calm smile.
"Of course, I keep my word."
Mingyue looked at Minglian again.
The delicate little face that looked like a rag doll was full of confusion.
"Hey? Sister, why aren't you wearing the exquisite Nine Plum Pearl Hairpin that I sent my maid to give you yesterday? Look, I've already put it on. This hairpin is the last treasure that Master Ouyang made by hand. There are only two in the world. Why are you..."
"...Why don't you wear it?"
