After thinking more deeply, Duan Yi calmed down again.

Time didn't match, so it was six years ago when she gave Cui Zi a prize gourd hairpin.

At that time, she was only ten years old and was not loved by her grandfather Duan Wenchang. She was alone in Jiannan, so how could she have the Duan family heirloom on her head?

And when the Eastern Palace selected a concubine, it was far away.

"Didn't my grandmother say that the hairpin was given to her by my grandfather?"

Duan Hao shook her head, and she looked at Duan Yi with a deep look, "The one given by her grandfather is a family heirloom. She thought it was really with her third sister, so she brought it out to test her third sister. Otherwise, how could you choose first?"

Duan Yi was speechless...

It’s not her that grandmas and girls, if you have such wisdom, why not wipe out the world? Instead, you must be bound in the world and live like a cockfighting.

"My grandmother loves her elder sister and wants her to be the future queen. Her grandfather gave her the hairpin to keep, but she gave it to her privately. The elder sister thought she was sure to win, so she called me out."

"Along the way, she regarded herself as the princess, and every word was insincere, saying that my mother was not respectful... After entering the palace, Concubine Ruan treated her elder sister completely differently from the past. Everyone said at that time that she would win."

"I was so angry that I pushed her while the other person was away. She staggered back and the hairpin on her head fell down."

Duan Hao said, covering his chest with some fear, "At that time, I didn't know what was special about that hairpin. My grandmother often gave her jewelry, and the style of the treasure gourd hairpin was also ordinary."

"After the hairpin fell to the ground, the treasure gourd broke open. The eldest sister picked it up in a panic and found that the hairpin was hollow and there was nothing inside."

Duan Yi frowned, "So the hairpin my grandmother gave to my elder sister was the fake one that grandmother gave me? Where did it really go?"

Duan Hao covered her mouth and coughed a few more times. She held her arms with both hands and looked at Duan Yi deeply.

"Sister, don't worry. I also learned about many things later when I returned home. At that time, I didn't know that the treasure gourd hairpin was related to the river and mountain seal, nor did I know that the eldest sister was going to offer it to Concubine Ruan."

"I don't know what the secret of hairpins has. After all, I am just a girl who doesn't even have the value of marriage and will die at any time. For the glory of the Duan family, they can leave their hometown to guard the ancestral grave at the age of five. How could they tell me this family secret?"

"But the eldest sister discovered something was wrong at that time, and she was so scared. At this moment, the mother in charge of Concubine Ruan came over and asked the eldest sister to go to the warm room to talk to her own things."

"The eldest sister sent the mother in charge, and then..."

Duan Hao said this and smiled sarcastically, "I told my third sister before that the candidate for the Crown Princess is chosen by one of three. In addition to the eldest sister, there are also Dong Zhao, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Hu, and Zhou Zhenyu, the granddaughter of the Minister of Personnel."

"The eldest sister slapped me in the face and deliberately pretended to be indecent, which attracted Zhou Zhenyu to catch her. When I was still confused, she hugged Zhou Zhenyu and fell into the river."

Duan Yi was shocked, "She wanted to try to get into the water to escape the disaster. After all, she didn't have a real hairpin to offer to Concubine Ruan."

Duan Hao nodded, "In the cold winter, my sister was rescued with a broken hairpin... The birthday banquet of the East Palace ended in a bad mood. We hurried out of the palace and heard that the East Palace cleaned the lotus pond that day and turned the bottom of the water to the sky."

"In less than three days, Zhou Zhenyu, the granddaughter of the Minister of Personnel, died of cold infection."

Neither sister spoke and suddenly became quiet.

Although Duan Hao said it simply, Duan Yi felt that this scene was probably not inferior to any bloody palace fighting scene she had seen.

In order to protect himself, Duan Xian must have insisted that the thing was taken away by Zhou Zhenyu and left the East Palace. Concubine Ruan forced Zhou Zhenyu to death, but she did not get what she wanted. When she turned around, she would be suspicious of Duan Xian again.

Duan Xian's Crown Princess was unable to be made, but Duan Wenchang was in power at that time. As long as she did not go to the East Palace alone, Concubine Ruan could not do anything to her.

It was also because of this time when Duan Xian fell into the water that he had a problem with cold uterus, so he had the smell of medicine that Zhilu smelled.

Duan Yi thought, but her heart moved and a guess arose in her heart.

She looked at Duan Hao quietly and handed her the carved bamboo tube given by the third prince before, "Do you drink water?"

Duan Hao looked down at the bamboo tube, but did not answer. She sighed lightly and said a misty word, "I really envy you, sister."

As she said, she talked about the treasure gourd and jade hairpin again.

"After the birthday party of the East Palace, my eldest sister was ill at home. I was nervous and knew that it was a big mess that I had caused. From then on, my eldest sister hated me more and more, thinking that I had cut off her path to the sky."

"After returning home, my elder sister couldn't control her for a while and asked about her grandmother about her hairpin, which made me see the clues. My grandmother didn't know when the real hairpin became a fake hairpin?"

Duan Yi's eyes moved and she lowered the bamboo tube again.

"It's really gone, why did my grandmother test me? I've been staying in Jiannan and never left a step. The hairpin can't grow its wings, so I flew to me."

Duan Hao looked at Duan Yi in surprise and shook his head, "It seems that my sister really doesn't know. Grandma has been checking for more than a month and has no clue at all. Suddenly, she remembered an old thing."

"Just a few years ago, my grandfather wanted to go south to provide disaster relief. Before leaving, he took out the treasure gourd hairpin and looked at it for a long time. At that time, he did not make any noise and secretly returned to Jincheng..."

Duan Yi suddenly realized, "So my grandmother thought she had replaced her hairpin, and then quietly ran to Jincheng to give it to me?"

She said, spreading her hands speechlessly and pointing to the bamboo tube.

"According to your opinion, my grandfather not only can't be the prime minister, but he shouldn't even pass the scholar. Is there a Yellow River in his head? He did such a swaying thing."

"Stealing my wife's hairpin and traveling thousands of miles to give it to my unwelcome granddaughter. This is not an ordinary person, and he can't do such a thing!"

Seeing Duan Hao stunned, Duan Yi exclaimed again, "But when you see me, you are doing today, I think it's not impossible for him to do this."

"After all, a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the mouse's son will dig holes. If it weren't for some problems, he wouldn't have a granddaughter with such a big problem."

Duan Hao's face turned red. She covered her mouth and coughed in a shocking way.

Duan Yi looked at it and shook her head, "Those who are narrow-minded can easily be angry."

Duan Hao coughed even harder when he heard this.

No matter how much he said it, Duan Yi was confused.

She had no idea what happened before she was ten years old. She thought that Duan Yi was like a piece of white paper, and there was a secret that she could not tell. After all, no matter what, the treasure gourd hairpin had appeared on her head, which was true!

Has Mama Jiang seen it before? If she had seen it, why didn’t she say it to the old lady?

The respectful Taishi Duan and the old wife Lu, if they were not in the same mind, why did the Taishi save the hairpin for the old wife? If they were in the same mind, why did he steal the dragon and turn the phoenix after he kept it?

Concubine Ruan learned that the Duan family had something related to the Heshan Seal. What about Your Majesty? Do he know or not?

She thought she needed to do, but she just kept guarding Jiannan Road and survived in troubled times.
