Yu Youyao seemed to have woken up from a dream. She pursed her lips slightly and subconsciously touched the hairpin on her head. "You— You never gave me hairpins in the past."
Her dry voice sounded panicked.
"The hairpin represents love. I want to give it to you as a token of love." Among the many kinds of jewelry, the meaning of the hairpin was the most unique. It also symbolized dignity and respect.
There was a good story of "removing the hairpin to persuade politics" that involved Empress Jiang, King Xuan of Zhou's wife.
King Xuan of Zhou had neglected political affairs for a period of time. Empress Jiang understood righteousness and advised King Xuan of Zhou to work hard. She removed her hairpin and earrings. Then, she knelt in Yong Alley for a long time to show that she was guilty.
