When her vision was clear, her heart was half cold.

Next to a pair of hostas, there is a pearl necklace with a small ruby set in the shape of a flower-shaped gold plate. She looked at the hosta first, then picked up the pearl necklace with a blank face, gently stroked the round pearl with her fingers, and finally pinched the ruby.

Chen Jingyao drank tea and secretly observed Xue Jinyi's expression.

There was no joy on her face, as if she was picking out jewelry in a jewelry store.

Xue Jinyi turned her fingers and turned over to look at the back of the ruby.

On the gold plate, a word is clearly engraved - "Jin".

Xue Jinyi looked surprised and asked curiously, "How can there be a Jin character here?" ”

Chen Jingyao looked at her face again and again, and said with a smile: "This was given to me by an elder of the Chen family, and it just so happened that there was also a 'Jin' in her name." Does cousin like this? ”

Xue Jinyi shook her head and put down the necklace without any reluctance, "I suddenly remembered that there was a similar one in the dowry. ”

This necklace was specially customized and given to her by her grandfather when she debuted three years ago.

Each pearl is carefully selected and there is almost no difference in size, while the ruby on it, although small, is said to be a century-old treasure from the European royal family, which was bought by her grandfather in the year she was born, and has special commemorative significance.

The word "Jin" behind the gold sheet is also the grandfather's handwriting.

Xue Jinyi will never admit that she is mistaken, and this necklace is also in the list of inheritances she donated to public welfare.

"Oh-" Chen Jingyao elongated her tone, with a hint of doubt.

Xue Jinyi didn't seem to hear it, continued to pick and choose, and picked up a pair of jade earrings, which were in the shape of a rabbit, and the position of the eyes was dotted with tiny broken diamonds.

She looked in the mirror and gestured twice in her ear.

The diamonds reflect a faint light that brings the bunny to life.

"That's good." Xue Jinyi said: "It just so happens that I belong to the rabbit." ”

The original owner is indeed a rabbit, and the real Xue Jinyi customized this pair of jade earrings in the Year of the Rabbit, which she designed herself.

She still remembers that Feng Ling saw the jade earrings and praised her talent as a jewelry designer.

"What a coincidence?" Chen Jingyao opened her mouth and boasted: "This little rabbit earrings are really a good match for my cousin, my cousin looks much more cute and cute, if my cousin-in-law sees it, he will definitely love you even more." ”

Xue Jinyi smiled faintly and motioned for Qinglan to put away the earrings.

Chen Jingyao said: "Cousin, can you pick another one?" You've done me such a great favor by giving you a pair of tiny earrings, and I'm a little upset. ”

"Don't worry about not going." Xue Jinyi waved her hand, but her eyes did not leave the box, and she looked at a few more pieces of jewelry, "The only thing that matters is that it fits my eyes." ”

She glanced at a gold necklace set with gems that also belonged to her.

These things were supposed to be auctioned off after her death, and all the proceeds were used to help people who were plagued by poverty, disease, etc., but now they are lying in private jewelry boxes.

Roughly estimated, the value of these things is about five or six million, which Feng Ling's ability and family background cannot afford.

Xue Jinyi put down her jewelry and asked, "Cousin, that's all." ”

Chen Jingyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, motioned to the maid to take the box back, and said with a smile: "I only have some worthless things that make my cousin laugh." ”

Fortunately, Miss Xue didn't take a fancy to the ruby necklace and these things stolen from Xue Jinyi, but among all her jewelry, they are the most valuable.

Although it didn't belong to her, she was about to be taken away by Miss Xue, and she still felt pain.

She couldn't help but look at the small box in Qinglan's hand again.

Miss Xue picked that one, it should just be because of a rabbit coincidence, right?

"Nope." Xue Jinyi said meaningfully: "It's all good treasures, cousin has to take care of it." ”

Waiting for her to get it all back one day!

Chen Jingyao replied with a smile: "Thank you cousin for reminding me." ”

Xue Jinyi took a sip of hot tea, which made her cold heart feel more comfortable, and still looked at Chen Jingyao with gentle eyes, "Seeing that the day of the draft is coming, it is estimated that the marriage will be done before the emperor's birthday, so as to celebrate the emperor's birthday." Cousin, do you still have any troubles? ”

Chen Jingyao pondered for a moment, "Don't hide it from my cousin, the few times I went to the East Palace to take care of the crown princess, I heard some news. said that the sister of the Pan lady, who is loved by the prince, is now in the East Palace, following the prince closely, and is favored every day. Therefore, I am a little worried, even if I am somewhat similar to Mrs. Pan, I am not as good as other people's sisters. ”

"Oh?" Xue Jinyi looked like she didn't know that there was a little Pan family, "Cousin doesn't need to worry, if Xiao Pan can get the prince's exclusive favor, the prince will not be abnormal because of Pan Niangzi." So, I think what you need to do is to show the similarities with Pan Niangzi a little bit. ”

"A little?" Chen Jingyao was puzzled, shouldn't she show it all to the prince, so that he would be attracted to him all of a sudden?

Xue Jinyi said: "You first show some traces to arouse the prince's curiosity and let him take the initiative to find the answer." ”

"That's right!" Chen Jingyao was overjoyed, "What my cousin said makes sense!" ”

Xue Jinyi smiled, "What should I do next, I think they should teach you Chaoyan, right?" ”

Chen Jingyao nodded, "I understand, cousin." ”

Although she still doesn't like these despicable prostitutes like Chaoyan, she can still tolerate it after learning a good way.

Besides, except for the people in the Chu Palace, no one knew that she was studying with Chaoyan, so she didn't need to be afraid of being pointed at.

After eating, Qinglan sent Chen Jingyao out of the palace, and when she came back, she obviously felt that the atmosphere in the flower hall was a little gloomy, and then looked at the princess, her originally smiling and gentle eyes were full of gloom, and she seemed to be about to kill.

She looked at Qingzhi puzzled, in the time when this cup of tea was less, there was nothing to make the princess unhappy, right? And in the palace of the king of Chu, although there are a few "rats", they can't bother the princess.

Qing Zhi shook her head slightly and made a gesture of silence.

She didn't understand why, the moment Chen Jingyao left the flower hall, the princess, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned gloomy.

She didn't dare to ask, maybe she wouldn't know until the King of Chu came back.

"Let's go, go back to reading." Xue Jinyi clapped her hands, her face returned to normal, and she got up and walked out.

Qinglan and Qingzhi glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.

Mama Yao was making desserts in the small kitchen in the main courtyard, when she heard the movement outside, she came out and asked, "Miss, what good things did Miss Cousin give you?" ”

"I picked out a pair of bunny earrings myself." Xue Jinyi asked Qinglan to show it to Mama Yao, "I look at it, I like this." ”

Mama Yao looked at the earrings and said with a smile: "Miss is a rabbit, this little gadget is quite delicate and small." ”

"Not really." Xue Jinyi instructed: "Help me make a pot of flower tea, and get a few snacks and candied fruit, I want to read a book for an afternoon." ”

"I'll go get ready."

Xue Jinyi came to the study, picked up the book she hadn't finished reading, and leaned on the rocking chair by the window, wanting to calm down and continue reading.

However, the thought of having seen the wrong friend for many years is somewhat uneasy.
