This cotton towel was stained with a layer of green vitriol oil. It's okay if you touch it with your hands, but if you rub the pearls hard with it, the pearls will be corroded by the green vitriol oil immediately.
Su Qingyu walked to the window and quietly looked at the door along the gap in the window lattice. The little palace maid who led them here was leaning against the door, listening to what was going on in the room.
She winked at Jade calmly and whispered a few words in Jade's ear.
Jade understood it and said loudly: "Miss, the cotton towel for wiping jewelry in the palace feels really good. It just so happens that our hair and face are dirty."
After a while, Jade suddenly exclaimed: "Miss, why did this hairpin suddenly become like this?"
Su Qingyu also shouted in panic: "How could this happen? This is the makeup given to Mrs. Shen by the Queen Mother. If anyone knows about this, it will be a crime of disrespect."
Jade added: "Miss, let's put the flowered side of the hairpin facing inward so that no one will find it. Wait until you leave the palace and find someone to repair it. Although the top-quality Dongzhu is hard to find, it's not impossible to find it."
Su Qingyu sighed, "That's all we can do, dress up and wear it more concealedly."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Qingyu walked out with the two maids.
The little palace maid had disappeared without a trace.
Su Qingyu walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony again, only to find that the people in the hall were already seated according to their seats.
When she came in, she attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people whispered that this young lady from the Su family was so courageous. The palace banquet was about to start and she was late.
Others said that she was too arrogant because of the power of the Shen family.
She didn't care what these people said, but as she walked in, she subconsciously reached out and touched the pearl-studded hairpin on her head. But as soon as his hand touched it, he pulled it back nervously.
Shen Zhixiu, who was sitting second among the officials, kept looking at Su Qingyu, frowning slightly. Shen Yue said she went to dress up, but why did she look so nervous?
But Shen Zhixiu couldn't help but think deeply. Not long after Su Qingyu sat down, she heard a voice from above the main hall, "The Emperor has arrived."
Emperor Xuande walked in with the prince and the concubine.
Everyone stood up and knelt down to salute, and then congratulated the emperor on his birthday in unison.
This year is not the birthday of Emperor Xuande, so the Longevity Festival is also kept simple. According to the rules, after the emperor called, everyone presented congratulatory gifts.
The Su family's birthday gifts were prepared by Su Chengye. Su Qingyu didn't need to celebrate her birthday alone, so she just sat and watched the excitement.
Su Qingyu sat next to Shen Yue, and the two of them whispered private words from time to time.
Next to Shen Yue was Shen Ying. From the moment Su Qingyu sat down, Shen Ying looked up at her, especially at her Dongzhu head.
"Sister Su, you are wearing your hairpin backwards. Let me straighten it for you." Shen Ying said, then stretched out her hand from behind Shen Yue.
At this time, Su Qingyu and Shen Yue were talking with their heads down, and Shen Ying's hand had already touched Su Qingyu's hair.
However, Su Qingyu nervously avoided her body and said in a slight panic: "You don't have to worry about it, Miss Second, let's just sit down and don't let anyone see the joke."
Shen Ying retracted her hand thoughtfully, took another deep look at Su Qingyu, turned her head and nodded slightly towards Li Chaoyun, who was sitting in the front seat.
After the birthday celebrations, there was a banquet of wine and wine.
Shen Zhixiu's handling of the Xu family's affairs these days earned Emperor Xuande's attention. After the monarch and his ministers drank a glass of wine, they heard Emperor Xuande say: "I heard that Shen Qing and the eldest daughter of the Su family are engaged. Is she here? Come forward and let me have a look."
"When you get married, I will officiate your wedding myself."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingyu immediately straightened her clothes, stood up and walked to the middle of the hall to salute Emperor Xuande.
Even though many people present said that Su Qingyu was lucky enough to marry the Shen family, at this moment they had to admit that the eldest daughter of the Su family was very good-looking and well-mannered. Every move shows elegance and elegance.
No one can find fault with even the subtle expressions on his face.
Emperor Xuande nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Sit down, Shen Qing has good taste."
Shen Zhixiu glanced at the prince calmly.
He was slightly relieved when he saw that the prince's eyes when he looked at Su Qingyu were not surprised, but rather scornful.
Li Chaoyun, who was sitting at the head of the noble ladies, had his eyes darkened.
Just when Emperor Xuande was about to ask Su Qingyu to sit back, Li Chaoyun spoke.
"Uncle Huang, I heard that the dongzhu headband worn by Miss Su was given to Mrs. Shen by the emperor's grandmother."
"Seeing this set of masks reminds me of the Queen's grandmother again."
Li Chaoyun said, taking out the handkerchief and wiping the corners of his eyes. Then he quickly apologized, "Uncle Emperor, forgive me, did Chaoyun say something wrong?"
On the Emperor's Longevity Festival, it is somewhat unlucky to mention the late Queen Mother.
Emperor Xuande said: "It's okay, I know you are filial."
Then he added: "Miss Su, take two steps forward. I want to see that mask again."
When Su Qingyu heard this, she took two more steps forward and tilted her head slightly.
For a moment, no one in the hall dared to joke anymore. The emperor was obviously reminiscing about the late Queen Mother, and the drinkers quickly put down their glasses.
But Li Chaoyun stood up and walked towards the middle of the hall while saying, "I think Miss Su's hairpin is worn crookedly. Let me straighten it for you."
Su Qingyu took two steps back and said with fear: "I don't dare to trouble the princess. I'll just go down and dress up again later."
The more she acted like this, the more Li Chaoyun felt that she was afraid.
She took two steps back, and Li Chaoyun took two steps forward.
Su Qingyu couldn't keep retreating. When Su Qingyu regained her footing, Li Chaoyun reached out and moved towards the hairpin on Su Qingyu's head.
When she got the hairpin, she said before she could see it clearly: "This hairpin..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone heard Li Chaoyun exclaim. Immediately afterwards, the hairpin in his hand was thrown out.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu quickly knelt down and apologized, "I failed to keep the reward from the Queen Mother well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Although Su Qingyu's apology was extremely sincere, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the hairpin was clearly thrown towards Princess Yun.
At this time, Li Chaoyun was also stunned. The hairpin that fell on the ground showed no sign of being corroded by green vitriol oil.
But this fall caused a bead to fall.
At this time, Li Chaoyun's expression changed completely. He was supposed to expose Su Qingyu, but he fell down instead.
The stinging pain on his fingertips was still there, and Li Chaoyun squinted his eyes, knowing in his heart that Su Qingyu had plotted against him.
Su Qingyu got a small needle on the hairpin and pricked her hand, and then she took off the hairpin and threw it away.
She also didn't try to hug Su Qingyu, mainly because it was useless and would only make people think that she was shirking her responsibilities.
That needle had already rolled into nowhere. She couldn't ruin the Emperor's Longevity Festival and let the palace maids lie on the ground looking for needles when they came in.
"Uncle Emperor, forgive me, I made a mistake. I just took off the hairpin, and suddenly I seemed to see the Emperor's grandmother smiling at me. I made a big mistake in my excitement."
