Chapter 9 Jade Pendant

The engagement between Yan Luan and Emperor Ling of Qi was hastily decided when Empress Dowager Chu was stripped of power two years later. At that time, Prime Minister Wang Yong dominated the court, and the only one who could fight against it was the Marquis of Huaiyin. In order to win over Princess Yongkang, Chu granted the position of the central palace to Yan Luan.

But he never expected that an oral engagement attracted Yan Jing's jealousy. Not only did he poison Emperor Ling, but he also became increasingly powerful. Within a few years, he planned to kill the Wang family and reached the peak of his life.

Is your body okay?

Faced with the gentle inquiry from Emperor Ling of Qi, Yan Luan was still a little nervous. First, she saw the living emperor, but Yan Tao next to her was so forced that she seemed to dislike her talking to the emperor.

It's no longer a problem, but I just can't remember what happened before.

Looking at Yan Luan, who was so sweet that his pink cheeks were so greasy, Emperor Ling of Qi smiled and took off the blue bird jade pendant on his waist. His long jade fingers moved slightly, and he handed the jade pendant to Yan Luan. There was a servant next to him who wanted to stop him, but he swung it back.

Look at you, you have been staring at this jade pendant and take it as a gift.

Yan Luan looked at him in amazement. The young man who was as eccentric as the painting had a bit of a sickly white face. His gentle eyes were filled with smiles. His fingers holding the jade pendant were slender, with a bit of delicateness, but also with the elegance of a nobleman.

His Majesty...

The totem of the Northern Qi royal family was a blue bird, and the blue bird jade pendant that could be carried by the emperor was even more meaningful. The inner officials who followed the emperor wanted to speak but stopped, and Yan Luan immediately understood that this thing was not acceptable.

Take it, don't lose it.

The young emperor put the jade pendant into Yan Luan's hands without any objection. Seeing Yan Luan's cute look that he loved to look after him after taking it, he was satisfied.

Suddenly, I remembered that there was Yan Tao next to me, so I put away a little smile.

By the way, the Marquis of Huaiyin and Jing’s cousin were about to be triumphant, and the queen was already preparing for a banquet in the Ministry of Rites.

Hearing this, Yan Tao responded heavily, but Yan Luan, who was playing with the jade pendant, was very frightened. He looked at Emperor Qi Ling with his little face and asked in surprise: Triumph?The eldest brother is coming back!

……

Until she returned to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, Yan Luan did not come back from the heavy blow. When she thought that Yan Jing was coming back, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, unable to sleep or eat, and there were constant nightmares at night.

The drizzle was silent all night, and with a hint of coolness after the rain in the morning, the servant put Yan Luan on a peach-colored waist-length skirt. It was the outfit of a noble woman from the ground. The single dress was several complex, but it highlighted the girl's slender waist. The slight movement of the small waist that was less than a grip made people feel a little jealous.

Yan Luan looked at herself in the mirror. Thirteen's green and delicate body was far less than the perky charm of a mature woman, but it also had a unique beauty, especially her hair tied with a flower bun, revealing her stunning head, which made her look a little unable to move.

The old man is so beautiful today.The maid who pressed the jade hairpin for her said blankly.

Unfortunately, Yan Luan had not yet had enough hairpins, so she could only comb her drooping bun, with pearls, flowers and jade hairpins on her hair, and two strands of hair were left on her forehead to her ears, making her beautiful and quiet.

Master, the second young master is here.

Since returning from outside the mansion that day, Yan Luan has never seen Yan Tao. Knowing that Yan Jing is about to return soon, he has lost the mood to go out to play. He sighed with a bitter face and took the servant to the front hall.

Second brother.

When he saw Yan Luan, Yan Tao's cold eyes had a stunning glow, but he quickly hid it. Even his kneeling posture was a little unnatural. He had already had a straight head-stand-up strut, but fortunately there was a robe covering it.

It is popular in this dynasty to kneel down and meet. Yan Luan was helped to the mat. When she knelt down, she complained secretly. However, when she saw Yan Tao's smelly face, she couldn't help but wonder, what made this guy angry?

Yan Tao did not say anything, and handed the box beside her to the nanny and signaled her to hand it to Yan Luan. The box was half a meter in size and was very heavy.

As soon as the red painted back pattern lid was opened, Yan Luan was shocked. There were at least three sets of jade sets inside, and the styles were different. They were all luxurious styles that women like nowadays. There were many jade pendants and jade hairpins placed there. Even if Yan Luan didn't know the goods, it was obvious that it was expensive.

Second brother, is this?

Yan Tao, who had never liked to talk, only glanced at Yan Luan's waist with a cold look. He stopped looking at her for a long time. Yan Luan hesitatedly looked down and saw that she happened to wear the blue bird jade pendant given to her by Emperor Ling today.

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through my mind...

Thank you, my second brother, I have accepted this gift and I will try it in later.She immediately smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes as bent as the moon. Her eyes at Yan Tao were no longer as resistant as before.

Just like you like it.

His voice was as usual. When he picked up the tea cup and drank tea, his eyes stared at Yan Luan's sweet pink lips, and his ears turned red in an instant. These were things that Yan Luan had never discovered.

As soon as Yan Tao left, the nanny was overjoyed.

The second young master has really changed a lot now and knows to take care of the master. If the eldest master knows, he will definitely be happy.

When Yan Tao, who had been living in the northern border for twelve years and was sent back to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, was scary like a wolf cub. The servants who served him dared not approach him. Over time, even Princess Yongkang was a little displeased with this Leng Rubing son. The only person in the mansion who could get close to him was Yan Luan.

Picking up a top-quality jade book in the box, Yan Luan's eyebrows moved slightly. It was really not easy to collect this box of things. It can be seen that Yan Tao really put his mind into it. It seems that her second brother is not so inhumane.

During dinner, Yan Luan was called to the main courtyard to eat with Princess Yongkang. Yan Luan was also in awe of the princess mother who was a little afraid of the Huaiyin Marquis.

I heard from my nanny that you have a bad appetite these days, but where are you feeling uncomfortable?

Princess Yongkang, who is already thirty-seven years old, is still amazingly beautiful. Time has not left too many traces on her face. Her graceful and elegant make people dare not look at her, but she loves Yan Luan, a young girl. She not only picks up food herself, but also wipes Yan Luan's mouth with a handkerchief...

Mom, I'll do it myself. It's probably because it's hot these days, so I can't help but feel a little bad at the appetite.After taking the silk handkerchief from Princess Yongkang's hand, she made an excuse.

After shuffling the broken hair on Yan Luan's forehead, Princess Yongkang said with a smile: Your elder brother is coming back, why are you happy not to see you?In the past, you were the most attached to him.

Yan Luan's back felt a little cold, and her hands holding ivory chopsticks were tight and tight. If she hadn't known that unbearable history, Yan Jing, the eldest brother who was going to be king and love her sister in the future, would have liked her very much.

I heard that most of the treasures in her Youth Pavilion were found by Yan Jing from all over the place to please her.
