Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 094 Selecting Concubines

He looked at Jiang Ruan carefully and said, "A Ruan, don't mention these things to others."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Of course I won't mention them to others. I just want to tell my brother that I am not unfamiliar with the things in the palace. Don't worry about me, brother. On the contrary, it is inevitable that someone will secretly trip you up when you go to the palace this time. You must be careful and don't be impulsive."

Jiang Xinzhi nodded: "I understand." Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Xinzhi took something out of his arms: "I haven't given it to you before, and now it's back to its original owner."

In Jiang Xinzhi's hand, there lay a half-moon-shaped amber quietly. The amber was radiant, and half of the butterfly wing inside was lifelike. Last time in Wulin Road, those people tried to use this amber to lure Jiang Xinzhi into a trap. Jiang Xinzhi put the amber away and never returned it to Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan said, "Before I entered the manor six years ago, this amber disappeared. I didn't expect it to be preserved until now." Her heart sank. This amber was lost six years ago, but it reappeared when Jiang Xinzhi came back. Could it be that Xia Yan had been thinking of using her to harm Jiang Xinzhi's life six years ago? What a good plan.

Jiang Xinzhi handed the amber to her: "I will never let those who plotted secretly go easily."

Jiang Ruan looked at him with a faint anger all over her body and shook her head: "Don't act rashly."

Jiang Xinzhi raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Jiang Ruan's wrist. He asked curiously: "When did you get this bracelet?"

Jiang Xinzhi didn't know that this was a blood moon bracelet, but he saw that the bracelet didn't look like it was made of ordinary materials. It emitted a faint light, and he knew it was a rare treasure at a glance. Jiang Ruan had never seen this thing from Zhao Mei, and it was even more impossible that it was given by the Jiang family. He was a little suspicious for a while.

Jiang Ruan followed his gaze, pulled down her sleeve to cover the bracelet, and said, "A friend gave it to me."
Jiang Xinzhi wanted to ask more, but Jiang Ruan changed the subject.

After Jiang Xinzhi left, Luzhu came back with Liu Ruyi. Lian Qiao and Zi Su were both a little nervous about the palace banquet tomorrow, and they picked out jewellery from the box on the dressing table early. 

Lian Qiao picked out a gold filigree cat's eye bracelet, and Zi Su shook her head and said, "It looks a little frivolous. Tomorrow, there will be nobles in the palace, so it's better to be more solemn." 

After that, a green jade hairpin jumped out of the box: "How about this one?"

Lian Qiao waved her hand again and said, "No, this one is too plain, and it doesn't match the girl's clothes. It won't look good together."

Jiang Ruan put down the book in her hand and said, "No need to choose, tomorrow I will comb a single spiral bun and take the rose hairpin."

Jiang Ruan has never paid much attention to dressing up, and has always let the two maids do it, but this time she was so clear. Luzhu said, "It's too simple for the girl to wear this way."

"I have my reasons." Jiang Ruan said, "That's it."

Lian Qiao and Zi Su looked at each other, both of them didn't understand, but didn't ask any more questions. Luzhu stuck out her tongue and hurried to help pack the box. Jiang Ruan looked at the book in front of her, and her eyes became long in an instant.

It seemed that God was compensating for the heavy rain some time ago. It was a few days in a row with clear and warm weather. The clouds were light, the sky was blue, and the tender buds on the branches were spitting out some green. The spring scenery quietly covered the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
