Thinking of this, Han Xiangru tried her best to suppress her panic and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I bought this, what's wrong?"
How dare you quibble!
Chu Hongle sneered and said, "Miss Han, can you lend me the bracelet?"
Han Xiangru suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
There’s nothing strange about this bracelet, right?
How should she explain if she was recognized by King Yu?
But there was no reason for her not to show the bracelet to King Yu!
Seeing her hesitation, Chu Hongle immediately mocked: "Why, Miss Han is guilty?"
Han Xiangru's mind was spinning and she soon had an idea.
She readily reached out and took off the bracelet, and handed it to Prince Yu while explaining: "Your Majesty misunderstood, but this bracelet is something close to my body, and Your Majesty is a man, so I hesitated just now."
Chu Siqing cursed this green tea bitch in her heart:
【Father, father, king! You must not take that bracelet with your hands! What if Han Xiangru gets into trouble? What if she takes the opportunity to eat you? 】
Han Wanqing couldn't help but look weird when she heard her daughter say "eat tofu" in her heart.
How can there be any saying that women eat tofu from men?
She held back her laughter and said, "In that case, my sister will give me the bracelet, and I will take a look at it on behalf of the prince."
Chu Hongle nodded quickly and pointedly said: "Be careful, don't drop the bracelet on purpose."
Why is this bitch Han Wanqing so busy?
Han Xiangru gritted her teeth, feeling secretly resentful.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity of handing over the bracelet to get close to the prince.
It's better to accidentally drop the bracelet to the ground. When the bracelet breaks, nothing will be visible!
Who would have thought that all her plans would be aborted. Now she can neither have contact with the prince nor deliberately break the bracelet.
If the bracelet is recognized then, how will she end up?
Han Wanqing admired Han Xiangru's wonderful expression and deliberately urged: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Han Xiangru forced a smile with a pale face: "Sister, I'm fine." She thought about it and felt that the prince was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
She held the bracelet in her hand and played with it many times. It was flawless, uniform in color, and without any pattern marks, so she couldn't put it down.
How can one determine who owns such a bracelet?
The prince must be teasing himself! It's all this damn Han Wanqing's fault!
Although she was unhappy, Han Xiangru didn't dare to play any more tricks and handed the bracelet to Han Wanqing calmly.
Seeing Han Wanqing get the intact bracelet, Chu Hongle said, "Come here, bring a basin of water."
When she heard that she was going to bring some water for verification, Han Xiangru's heart immediately started to relax again.
King Yu is so confident, is there really something strange about this bracelet?
If it was confirmed that the jade bracelet was the one given to Han Wanqing by King Yu, and it was found out that she was the one who caused someone to steal the eldest sister's betrothal gift, her reputation would be ruined!
When the time comes, not to mention marrying into the royal palace, no noble family in Beijing will let their children marry such a woman with corrupt morals and unclean hands and feet!
Han Xiangru regretted it for a moment, and resented her sister for being so fussy!
Han Wanqing has already married into the palace, she has everything!
She is her younger sister, just a broken bracelet, yet she still wants to embarrass someone in front of the prince. She has absolutely no regard for sisterhood!
No matter how regretful and resentful Han Wanru felt, the maid quickly brought up a basin of water.
Chu Hongle motioned to the maid to bring the basin to the princess, and said to Han Wanqing: "Wanqing, put the bracelet into the water."
Han Wanqing didn't know why, but she did as she was told.
No matter how anxious and anxious Han Xiangru was in her heart, she could not show any signs of weakness on her face. She could only look at the bracelet in the basin with everyone else.
I saw that the emerald green jade bracelet was in the water, and a small word slowly appeared on the inside of the bracelet wall. The white word was very conspicuous on the jade bracelet, it was clearly the word "wan".
Now the truth is revealed, even the maid carrying the water knows who the owner of the jade bracelet is.
The bracelet with the word "wan" on it cannot be Han Xiangru's!
Chu Hongle picked up the bracelet in the water and waved to the maid to take the basin away.
He said with a proud look on his face: "This is a bracelet that I specially asked the craftsmen to use a secret method to make. The words appear in the jade water. This unique skill is only available to the royal family."
Chu Siqing was also stunned in her father's arms. She didn't expect that there was such a magical technology in ancient times. It was so interesting!
[My father is really interested in his mother and concubine! 】
Chu Hongle felt as if he had been reminded when he heard what his daughter was saying.
He hurriedly asked the princess for credit and said, "Wanqing, in order to please you, I put a lot of thought into the betrothal gifts!"
Only then did Han Wanqing realize that he was so thoughtful, but he had never said it in front of her before.
She was a little moved at the moment and said: "Your Majesty is interested, I like it very much."
Han Xiangru sat stiffly on the embroidery stool, jealous and resentful in her heart, and the handkerchief in her sleeve was almost torn.
You bitch is just hypocritical!
Han Wanqing is so virtuous and capable! Why is the prince so kind to her?
Why wasn't she, Han Xiangru, married into the palace in the first place?
Chu Hongle turned around and asked Han Xiangru coldly, as if changing his face: "Second Miss Han, how should you explain the bracelet? You can't just find a royal craftsman and make a bracelet with the word "wan" on it, right? "
Han Xiangru's face burned red, she was so flustered and embarrassed that she didn't know how to deal with it.
She lowered her head and felt two probing eyes on her, seeming to have read through her own thoughts.
Han Xiangru wished she could faint immediately, which was better than facing such an unbearable scene.
Han Wanqing was extremely disappointed when she thought that her sister, whom she had treated sincerely in the past, had such low character, and that a lady from a wealthy family actually committed theft, stealing something that belonged to her own sister.
Seeing that Han Xiangru just lowered her head and said nothing, Han Wanqing added fuel to the fire herself: "Xiangru, tell the truth, what is going on?"
Han Xiangru hesitated: "I...I..."
In a panic, she suddenly came up with an idea and thought of an excuse: "I bought this bracelet from a pawn shop. Since the prince has found out that it is for my sister, just return it to the original owner."
She also knew that this reason was untenable. After explaining, she quickly left and said, "Sister, it's getting late today. I'm afraid that my father and mother will be worried, so I'll go back first."
After saying this, Han Xiangru wanted to leave, but was stopped by a voice: "Stop! Miss Han, there is no need to leave in a hurry, I still have something to ask."
Chu Hongle's face turned cold, his aura suddenly became oppressive, and he asked: "Which pawn shop did you buy the bracelet at, and what kind of receipt do you have? I want to see today, who is so bold as to dare to steal from me?" A thing of the royal palace!”
Han Xiangru's face turned pale, her head felt dizzy, and she didn't know how to answer.
She muttered her lips a few times, but before she could say anything, she fainted.
