Chapter 335: Get out of my sight!
Jun Feimo and the other grown men had no choice but to follow him up to the second floor.
The environment on the second floor is completely different from that on the first floor. There is no noise and bustle here, but instead there is tranquility and elegance.
There was an exquisite tea table on one side of the second floor, where several grown men were sitting waiting.
The sunlight filtered through the carved window frames, forming a few golden spots that fell on the neatly arranged jewellery, making them appear even more dazzling.
As soon as Chu Mengting stepped onto the second floor, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn't wait to start choosing among the various exquisite jewelry.
In contrast, Chu Zixi's performance was completely different.
She strolled leisurely in it, her eyes gentle and deep, as if she was looking for something special.
At this moment, a white light as warm as jade caught Chu Zixi's attention.
She looked closely and found that it was a pure white jade hairpin.
The texture of this hairpin is extremely pure, and the carving craftsmanship is exquisite and delicate. Every detail shows the ingenuity of the maker. It is like a small mountain, condensing the aura of nature, which is unforgettable.
Chu Zixi couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if Jun Feimo wore this jade hairpin? She imagined how he would look when he wore this hairpin, which would definitely add a bit of elegance and grace, and make him look more graceful and heroic.
So, she involuntarily walked towards the hairpin.
Just as she picked it up and was about to examine it carefully, a crisp voice broke the silence: "Waiter, pack up this white jade hairpin, I want it." A woman with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary temperament suddenly appeared next to the hairpin and snatched it away with swift movements.
Chu Zixi frowned slightly, she slowly turned around and cast her gaze towards the person who suddenly broke in.
When their eyes met, a subtle atmosphere seemed to spread in the air.
Liu Ruyun quickly realized her mistake and quickly adjusted her posture. She bowed gracefully and said in a soft and graceful voice: "Greetings to Princess Zhaoyang. May you live a thousand years."
Chu Zixi stood quietly, her eyes deep and sharp, but she did not speak immediately.
Liu Ruyun slowly stood up, with a faint smile on her lips, and said softly: "Princess, you may not know me. My name is Liu Ruyun, and my grandfather is the great scholar Liu Gong in the court. I was fortunate enough to see you at a palace banquet."
Hearing this, Chu Zixi simply responded, "Oh." Then her eyes fell on the white jade hairpin in Liu Ruyun's hand.
Just now, Liu Ruyun actually snatched the hairpin from her hand. Just for this reason, Chu Zixi felt a little disgusted with the woman in front of her.
Liu Ruyun seemed to notice Chu Zixi's attention to the white jade hairpin. She gently opened her vermilion lips and explained softly: "Princess, do you like this white jade hairpin too? Please forgive me for being frank, but tomorrow is my eldest brother's birthday. I like this hairpin very much and plan to give it to him as a birthday gift. I wonder if the princess can be generous enough to give it up and fulfill my wish?" Her voice was full of pleading and expectation.
Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly, suddenly took a step forward, quickly snatched the hairpin from Liu Ruyun's hand, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What does your eldest brother's birthday have to do with this princess? Are we familiar with each other?"
Liu Ruyun's face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold back the tears. She said in an almost pleading tone, "The princess is of noble status, so she naturally has these external things. And this hairpin is obviously a men's style, so it may not be suitable for the princess to wear. I beg the princess to help you and meet this humble request."
Chu Zixi pushed the hairpin in her hand back to Liu Ruyun's hand expressionlessly. Her tone was indifferent and distant, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "At first glance, it is indeed somewhat elegant, but since it has been touched by another woman, it has lost its unique charm. Well, you can take it."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ruyun's eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell like pearls that had broken off the string. She asked in a trembling voice, "Princess, do you mean that I have tarnished the innocence of this hairpin?"
Chu Zixi was stunned when she heard this. What kind of weird woman is this? Why is she crying? She frowned slightly, and her tone was a little more impatient: "Why are you crying? You rushed first, and I retreated later. How can I bully you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyun quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. Her eyes were still red. She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Princess. I was reckless. When I saw this hairpin just now, I loved it and couldn't help myself. I never thought it was the princess, and I never expected to make her unhappy."
Chu Zixi looked at Liu Ruyun with a pitiful look, as if she was bullying her. She frowned and waved her hand impatiently, indicating that Liu Ruyun didn't need to worry about it anymore: "Forget it, this princess doesn't take it to heart. If you like it, take it."
Liu Ruyun's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She quickly said, "Thank you, Princess, for your magnanimity. To show my gratitude, I am willing to choose a piece of jewelry for you as an apology."
"not necessary"
Liu Ruyun wiped her tears and sobbed, "Princess, don't be angry. Are you still blaming me for taking away your favorite things?"
At this point, Chu Zixi's patience had been completely exhausted, and the anger in her heart could no longer be contained and burst out.
She said coldly, "You are so annoying, stay away from me!" The voice was like the chill of ice melting, which made people feel bone-chilling. This sudden roar not only shocked the ladies and girls around, but also made the whole atmosphere freeze instantly.
The people present looked carefully and found that it was Princess Zhaoyang, so they all saluted her from a distance.
Although Liu Ruyun came from a prominent family, she was just a concubine's daughter of humble status. She originally planned to take this opportunity to get closer to the noble princess in order to climb to a higher position.
However, she didn't expect that her relentless pursuit would actually anger the princess. She turned pale as paper, her legs softened, and she fell to her knees with a plop. Her body kept shaking, and her voice trembled with fear: "Princess, spare me..."
Chu Zixi's brows were furrowed, her eyes were like torches, "Liu Ruyun, you are really annoying." Her tone was full of helplessness and disgust, "This princess just asked you to stay away from me, but you shouted 'Princess, spare my life'? What, do you want to discredit this princess as a cruel person?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyun's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She shook her head desperately, her voice choking with sobs: "I didn't, I just... just..."
Seeing this, Chu Zixi's annoyance became stronger. She shouted coldly, "Get out of here! Get out of my sight immediately. I don't want to see you again."
