Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"oops!"

She screamed, and a three-leaf phoenix hairpin on her head fell off.

Jing'er's face changed and she wanted to pick it up, but her hands were full.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhu quickly bent over to pick up the fallen three-leaf phoenix hairpin, wiped it clean and handed it to Shen Wanqing: "Among the gifts from the Empress, the three-leaf phoenix hairpin is the most precious. Miss Four must keep it properly."

"Thank you for reminding me, Ma'am. I understand. I'll take it down and put it in a box for safekeeping when I get back."

Shen Wanqing smiled sheepishly, "It's just that my mother specifically told me to wear this tomorrow! I thought my elder sister has always loved beauty and has a unique eye for beauty, so I thought I'd give her some jewelry to wear and ask her to check it out."

Nanny Zhu couldn't help but look at Shen Wanqing a few more times, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She was just a servant, so she should just do her own assigned tasks and not interfere in her masters' affairs.

After Nanny Zhu left, Shen Wanqing took Jing'er into Shen Wanru's room.

There were several open jewelry boxes on her dressing table, which must have been sent by Nanny Zhu just now.

Shen Wanru was picking up the jewelry in the box and gesturing. She caught a glimpse of Shen Wanqing coming in, and her eyes turned cold. "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to see my elder sister." Shen Wanqing pointed at the table, "These must have been brought here by mother!"

"Of course!" When talking about this, Shen Wanru showed a hint of joy on her face.

Although she failed repeatedly at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, fortunately her mother still cared about her and never forgot to plan for her.

As long as Su still dotes on her, she will have no worries about not having a chance to turn things around.

Shen Wanqing praised her with envy, then gestured for Jing'er to place the brocade box she had brought on the table. She opened the box and said, "I've also prepared some jewelry for Big Sister. These are all gifts from the palace. I've seen that they're all excellent items, so I've carefully selected a few for Big Sister. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Since it was a reward from the Queen, she had no reason to keep it to herself, so she thought of sharing it with her sisters in the mansion.

But in Shen Wanru's eyes, that was not what she meant.

This bitch just got a reward and showed it off in front of her. It's really infuriating.

However, these things came from the palace after all, and they were all top-grade. Although Shen Wanru was unhappy, she naturally would not let go of such good things.

But she looked at the jewelry one by one, and surprisingly, she didn't like any of them. "Why are the colors so pale? None of them are eye-catching. Did Fourth Sister really carefully select these jewelry?"

"Of course, I spent a long time choosing." Shen Wan quickly held up the box and showed it to her. "There's a hairpin inlaid with gemstones. It's emerald, so precious."

As for other earrings, bracelets and the like, they are actually much more valuable than this hairpin, but the color matching is a bit more elegant and not stunning enough.

But hairpins, bracelets and the like just didn't catch her eye. Shen Wanru curled her lips and looked up when she saw the three-leaf phoenix hairpin on Shen Wanqing's head.

"What are you wearing on your head?"

"I......"

Before Shen Wanqing could explain, Shen Wanru took off the three-leaf phoenix hairpin on her head, her eyes lighting up.

"This three-leaf hairpin is quite eye-catching. I happen to have an emerald green dress, which matches it perfectly." Shen Wanru picked up the three-leaf hairpin and tried it on her bun.

Shen Wanqing raised her hand to take the three-leaf phoenix hairpin from Shen Wanru's hand and put it back on her head. "This three-leaf phoenix hairpin was also given by the Empress. Mother asked me to wear it tomorrow. I wore it today just to let big sister help to check it out. Big sister likes it, but Qing'er can't give it to you. How about waiting a few days and then big sister can take it."

She looked very nervous, and it seemed that the three-leaf phoenix hairpin was really her treasure.

Shen Wanru was furious when she saw this and took it off her head. "This three-leaf phoenix hairpin is too bright and doesn't suit Fourth Sister. It suits me better. Don't worry about Mother. I will explain it myself and will definitely not let Mother misunderstand Fourth Sister."

Such a fine phoenix hairpin must be worn by someone who matches it. As long as she wears it out, this hairpin will be hers in the future.

"I wore it today to let big sister see it..." Shen Wanqing lowered her head, her voice full of grievance, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, and she did not compete with Shen Wanru for the phoenix hairpin anymore.

Seeing that she had already got the thing, there was no reason for Shen Wanru to give it up. Seeing Shen Wanqing looking silly again, she felt proud in her heart, but she looked attentively to comfort her.

"The Empress has given you so many jewels. You can just pick one when you go back. You don't have to have only this hairpin."

"Big sister, are you really going to take it?"

"Of course. Of all the jewelry, I only like this one. Fourth sister, you won't refuse to give it to me, right?"

"It's not impossible to give it to you, but I'm afraid my mother will blame me..."

In Shen Wanru's eyes, her behavior meant she agreed.

Shen Wanru was so happy that she had someone put the three-leaf phoenix hairpin into a box and put it away. As for the other jewelry, she picked two at random and asked Shen Wanqing to take the rest back to the first wife.

Coming out of Shen Wanru's courtyard, Jing'er felt a pang of anger, and said indignantly, "How could the young lady steal your things? If the Empress sees this tomorrow, won't she blame the young lady?"

"It's just a hairpin, not that serious." Shen Wanqing's face was full of smiles, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

The Empress would not blame anyone for a hairpin, but she would feel uneasy. If Shen Wanru wore that hairpin tomorrow, the Empress would not have a good impression of her. No matter how hard she tried to please her in the future, it would not be so smooth.

As for her, it was just a hairpin, and she would not deliberately try to please anyone, so if Shen Wanru liked to snatch it, then she would give it to her. It just depended on whether she could receive the blessing that would come later.

If Shen Wanru caused the Queen's dissatisfaction with her because of this hairpin, it would be exactly what she wanted.

Although Shen Wanxiu also received a reward, she still sent the remaining jewelry in the box to the main house.

Shen Wanxiu also gave her some gifts in return. The happiest person was Shen Wanzhu, who said many words of thanks.

It was always so comfortable to get along with Shen Wanxiu and Shen Wanzhu, but when compared with her sister who was born to the same mother, Shen Wanqing felt sad. Her cousins ​​treated her so sincerely, but her own sister regarded her as an enemy.

Shen Wanqing no longer had the three-leaf phoenix hairpin, so she wore a pomegranate jade hairpin on her head and combed her hair into a simple bun.
