The pattern is embroidered very delicately, and every stitch is very meticulous, which shows that she put a lot of effort into it. If it took her half a month to embroider, then she must have started preparing for his birthday a long time ago.
The prince held the sachet, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, but at least it was warm. He said, "It's very well embroidered."
"As long as Your Highness likes it."
The system suddenly said: "The whitewashing index has increased. The current whitewashing value is 65 points."
If you exceed the passing line, you are not far from completing the task.
The prince pulled off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and placed it in Yu Rou's hand, "This is a return gift."
This is a jade pendant with flowing clouds and a hundred blessings. The pattern on it is cloud patterns and bats. The cloud patterns are shaped like a ruyi, and there is also a simple bat shape, which symbolizes good luck and happiness.
Yu Rou knew about this jade pendant. In the original plot, the prince always wore it on his body. It was given to him by the Queen Mother when he was born.
"I can't accept this." Yu Rou stuffed the jade pendant back into his hand.
The prince simply tied the jade pendant into a knot and hung it around her waist.
"There you go, it's yours now."
"But……"
"Let's go, it's getting late and the palace banquet is almost over."
…
As soon as Yu Rou and the prince left, the noble ladies came out from around the corner.
Walking in front was Princess Huayang of Prince Qing's Mansion, followed by Princess Danyang, and many other women from aristocratic families, most of whom frequently came in and out of the palace, including the two ladies of the Yu family.
Seeing Princess Hening and the Fifth Prince, everyone bowed. No one asked about Yu Rou.
Princess Hening was full of doubts and looked back and forth among the crowd.
Who exactly lured the fifth prince here, and who gave the crown prince the wrong information?
This must not be a coincidence.
"Why are you here? Have you finished releasing the river lanterns?" asked Princess Hening.
Princess Huayang said, "Everyone wants to go to the garden in front to release Kongming lanterns."
"We can release Kongming lanterns anywhere, why do we have to go to the garden over there?" Princess He Ning looked at everyone indifferently without smiling.
Everyone could hear that something was wrong, but they didn't know what had happened. Seeing that the Fifth Prince didn't look too good, they all guessed what had happened.
Yu Si whispered to Yu Ting, "Sister, Sister Rou was with the princess just now, why can't I see Sister Rou? Could something have happened?"
Yu Ting stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Princess, isn't my sister Rou with you?"
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
She couldn't help feeling a little scared and took a step back, but she felt that she couldn't show her fear, so she straightened her neck and looked at Princess Hening anxiously.
Princess Hening suddenly smiled and said, "Today is the Crown Prince's birthday. As the future Crown Princess, the eldest lady of the Yu family is naturally with the Crown Prince. They are enjoying the moon in front and asked me to take a walk. Why, do you want to go over and take a look too?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Yu Ting's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "As long as you're okay, I won't go over."
The others had no choice but to turn around and discuss finding another place to release the Kongming lanterns.
After everyone left, Princess Hening asked the Fifth Prince about the characteristics of some of the palace maids who delivered the message to him. However, most of the palace maids had these characteristics, and they all wore the same clothes and had the same hair. It was late at night, and the Fifth Prince didn't look at their faces carefully, so he couldn't tell them apart at all.
Princess Hening interrogated the palace maid she sent to deliver the message several times, but did not get any useful information.
…
After the palace banquet was over, Yu Rou left the palace with other noble ladies. In the carriage, Yu Rou specially asked Yu Ting to ride in one carriage with her, and Yu Si to ride in another one by herself.
Yu Rou asked Yu Ting some questions intentionally or unintentionally, because Yu Ting and Yu Si had been with them before Princess Hening took her away.
From Yu Ting's words, Yu Rou discovered that something was wrong with Yu Si. Her intuition told her that what happened tonight was related to Yu Si.
A few days later, it was time for spring hunting.
Emperor Xiaozhen led the princes, ministers and princes to the Fengtou Mountain hunting ground for spring hunting. Although the Da'an Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, there were still many princes and ministers with superb martial arts skills. In addition, Emperor Xiaozhen loved hunting, so he would go hunting every spring and autumn.
This year it was much later than in previous years. From the emperor and princes to the ministers and common people, there were hundreds of people participating in this royal hunt, including several princesses, and noble men and women from aristocratic families also came to join in the fun.
All the men and women of the Yu family went out. Originally, Yu Si was not allowed to go, but Yu Rou specifically pleaded with the old lady on her behalf, saying that she could be taken with her, so Yu Si went with them.
There is a special hunting ground on Fengtou Mountain, and the fence has been set up long ago. However, there is no palace on the mountain, so many tents are set up in safe places. But even in the tents, everything is available.
When we arrived at Fengtou Mountain, we just rested for a night and started hunting the next day.
On the first day, the emperor and his ministers went hunting, and then the emperor watched the hunting. The princes and the ministers' sons participated in a hunting competition. The prey they hunted would be recorded in a book so that they could be ranked after the end. The one who hunted the most and most powerful prey would be the winner, and Emperor Xiaozhen would reward him.
On the first day, Yu Rou stayed in the tent the whole time. Princess Ning came to play with her for a while and told her that the prince had to accompany Emperor Xiaozhen, so he was too busy to come and see her. She asked her not to be unhappy and also brought her some desserts specially for the nobles in the palace.
Yu Rou shared the food with Yu Ting and Yu Si since she couldn’t finish it herself.
Ever since returning from the prince's birthday banquet that day, Yu Rou designed a plan to place a maid in Yu Si's room. During this spring hunt, she also gave her personal maid some harmless drug, so that she had no choice but to bring the maid to serve her this time.
