Chapter 155 Seeing may not be believing
Liuli Villa, the day of Minor Cold.
With the joint efforts of the cousins and Xu Yichen, Liuli Villa held a grand solar term banquet.
Not only were the major families in Lingxiu City invited, but also the Duke of Qi and Princess Fengling from the Royal Hot Spring Villa.
The banquet was held in the main hall of Liuli Villa, with all kinds of food and small items for appreciation. In the middle of the main hall, there was a small stage where a special opera was performed.
The entire banquet hall was bustling with activity.
During this time, Princess Fengling, wearing a light yellow brocade robe embroidered with gold threads and with an increasingly bright face, became the focus of everyone.
During the banquet, she ostentatiously exposed the black jade pendant from her neck and walked around in an attempt to attract more people's attention.
She didn't sit down to rest for a while until she was tired.
Eat cakes, drink tea, listen to opera, and chat with the young men and women.
But no matter what she was doing, she would always remember not to deliberately reveal the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was so eye-catching that it finally attracted people's inquiries.
"This jade pendant, princess, is so beautiful."
"Yes, it's beautiful and special. I've never seen a jade pendant of this quality before. It's really rare."
"Princess, can you tell me the origin of this jade pendant?"
Princess Fengling glanced at her father, Duke Qi, who was chatting animatedly with Xu Yichen and others not far away, sipped her tea, and smiled with great satisfaction.
"Someone else gave it to me."
After saying this, he did not forget to stroke the jade pendant, as if he cherished it very much.
Also cherish the "other person" who gave you the jade pendant.
Everyone suddenly realized that this jade pendant represents love!
Driven by curiosity, he asked again, "Whose family is this lucky young man from?"
"Yes! Which young man is so lucky that the princess would cherish the gift so much."
Princess Fengling smiled and said nothing.
Just looking at a figure in a silver fox cloak not far away.
When the figure is about to approach this place.
She suddenly pretended to be mysterious and gestured to silence everyone.
He said loudly, "This black jade pendant was naturally given by a unique figure in the world."
Everyone was surprised that the princess suddenly started behaving strangely.
Clearly, they were asking about the person who gifted the jade, but the focus of the princess's words seemed to be on the act of "giving".
Yan Yunshu got closer and closer.
Princess Fengling smiled even more mysteriously.
"It's a secret."
Everyone continued to talk.
But they saw Yan Yunshu taking off her cloak beside them.
Her long hair fell like a waterfall, and the crescent-white brocade robe made her facial features look even more beautiful.
Everyone held their breath in shock.
So beautiful, so beautiful!
Just like the mysterious Lingxu Lake in Lingxiu City, it should not exist in this world, but only in the fairyland.
"Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great time."
As the real owner of Liuli Villa.
After Yan Yunshu exchanged greetings with everyone, she sat down and listened to the opera.
In order to appear friendly, the seats at the banquet were arranged in disorder and without any distinction between the main and the secondary, so Yan Yunshu simply sat down not far from the empty seat next to Princess Fengling.
After sitting down, Yan Yunshu sipped her tea alone, her eyes fixed on Princess Fengling.
Princess Fengling's face, which had been a little dull just now, suddenly became lively again.
She deliberately turned sideways towards Yan Yunshu, trying to make this realistic black jade pendant more conspicuous.
"My Lady, the person who gifted the jade will surface sooner or later. Why be so secretive?"
Princess Fengling placed her hand on the jade.
He looked at Yan Yunshu and did not respond.
Those young men and women, feeling bored, gradually dispersed. However, no matter how much they dispersed, they still didn't dare to sit next to Yan Yunshu, who had a cool aura recently.
Yan Yunshu ate the pastries and felt happy and at peace.
However, the jade that the group of people were discussing just now did pique her interest.
So she looked towards Princess Fengling's neck.
The pastry in his hand fell onto the plate with a plop.
The banquet was very lively.
The air around Yan Yunshu suddenly turned cold.
The faint luster emitted by the black jade pendant seemed to be icy and chilling enough to pierce the soul, and it penetrated into Yan Yunshu's heart bit by bit.
Yan Yunshu looked at it, and her face, which had been extremely moist since she came to Lingxiu City, suddenly turned pale and dull.
But her beautiful eyebrows still reveal an irresistible beauty.
Princess Fengling pretended to glance at this face casually. While she felt proud, she also felt a little unwilling that Yan Yunshu's beauty far surpassed hers.
She deliberately came to Yan Yunshu's desk with a confused look on her face.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Yunshu suppressed the suffocating feeling in her heart and tried her best to control the trembling of her whole body.
He said expressionlessly, "Stop pretending, Yan Shuyao."
Princess Fengling was shocked.
Her hand dropped from the black jade pendant, her face full of disbelief.
"Cousin, are you crazy? How can you call me by your dead sister's name?"
"Oh?" Yan Yunshu looked at Princess Fengling, who was obviously suppressing her panic.
He said, "That's right. You are just a nameless soul occupying someone else's body. How can you deserve a name?"
"I, I don't understand what you are talking about." Princess Fengling frowned and placed her hand on the jade pendant again, but her fingers were trembling slightly.
"I only know that I shouldn't call you cousin anymore."
Yan Yunshu glanced at the jade pendant and naturally understood what she meant.
But she also understood that many things, especially with Princess Fengling, could not be believed by seeing them.
She smiled contemptuously.
"Yan Shuyao, why did you wear the jade pendant around your waist on your neck? It's so ridiculous. Do you really want me to see it?"
Princess Fengling was stunned.
She touched the jade pendant and wanted to say that it was okay to wear it like this, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized that there was a deeper meaning in Yan Yunshu's words and quickly changed her words.
"I'm not Yan Shuyao."
Yan Yunshu smiled.
"Then I'll call you Princess Fengling. Princess Fengling. The three years I've been Yan Shuyao haven't been in vain. Some things have been engraved into my bones."
For example, the extremely natural response just now.
She didn't seem surprised at all that she called her Yan Shuyao.
There is also that moment of confusion and change of words.
All of them fell into Yan Yunshu's eyes.
"So, this is the surprise Princess Fengling came all the way here to bring me, right?"
Yan Yunshu's gaze fell on the jade pendant.
The black jade pendant stayed in her hands for only a few days, and during those days, she was always in the carriage with dim light. She only knew its general appearance and could not tell whether it was real or fake, so she asked the guards to send it to the capital as a token of trust. Now that her brother is safe, it means that Xu Jinghuai has received the news.
Now that the news has been received, the jade pendant should indeed be in Xu Jinghuai's hands.
Xu Jinghuai does have the right to dispose of this jade pendant.
Giving it to others is just his personal wish.
But Xu Jinghuai had just ascended the throne and was very busy. Even if Princess Fengling had supernatural powers, it would be impossible for her to capture Xu Jinghuai's heart in such a short time and make him willingly give her the jade pendant.
Then there is only one answer.
"Princess, the jade pendant is fake."
