"It really looks so beautiful, what is this made of?" Picking up a purple-gold coin carved with a delicate flying dragon, which was slightly transparent like crystal, but it was slightly cold in his hand, and the hardness was more like metal, Yu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but sigh.

"This purple gold coin has a face value of 10,000, which is the largest denomination of currency in circulation, and as for the manufacturing method, it is a top secret of the Empire. All I know is that it is made by smelting purple gold and more than 30 different minerals. It is said that in the past, there were other countries that wanted to copy it, but eventually gave it up because of the high cost. For at least the last 5,000 years, there has never been a case of counterfeit money. As he spoke, Xing'er picked up a golden coin and said, "This kind of thing is worth a thousand faces." The silver one is a hundred. There are also blue ten dollars and black one dollars. You're going to buy something, not doing business, so the minimum that my sister has prepared for you is still a hundred. ”

Yue'er on the side said softly: "I exchanged 500,000 dragon coins for you, and it won't be too heavy for you to put in your money bag." The rest, for the time being, is in my bracelet, and you can ask me to get it at any time if you need it. Although His Royal Highness has completed your identity information and brought a new bracelet for you on this trip back to Beijing, we all need to use fake identity information when we go out this time, so it is safer to store it with me for the time being. In the future, your monthly income will go directly to your bracelet on the first day of the new year, and you can pay directly with the bracelet or exchange it for cash at any bank. ”

"Thank you, Sister Yue'er. Yu Xiaoxiang naturally knew that this was a good intention, not to mention that the pile on the bed seemed to her to be a lot of money, of course, there was no need to carry everything on her back, like an explosive person carrying tired and half dead, not to mention, she was distressed when she lost it.

Xing'er on the side was obviously not interested in studying these dragon coins anymore, so he crawled to the head of the bed, took out a small pink embroidered cloth bag from the big box he moved, handed it to Yu Xiaoxiang and said: "Xiang'er, you don't even have a money bag, right?" This is for you, hehe, your skin is white, you look good in pink, I'll pick out a few sets of clothes for you in a while, this money bag looks good." Don't fiddle with the money, just put it in and pick out your favorite clothes. ”

"Do you even want to bring clothes?" Yu Xiaoxiang's gaze finally withdrew from the pile of coins and fell to one side, occupying almost the entire wall of the extra-long wardrobe. Although it is not the first time she has seen these two hundred costumes of various colors, every time she sees them, she is still envious.

"Of course. Xing'er patted his chest and said with pride: "The clothes we usually wear have the 'Dragon Stepping Sword Xiangyun Crest' on the cuffs." This is the family coat of arms of our Lingxiao Palace, and a clear-eyed person will know our identity as soon as they see this coat of arms. This time, His Highness said that he was going to make an unannounced visit, and of course his identity could not be revealed. Hmph, my sister also says every time that people go out with a bunch of unheraldic clothes is boring, this time it's okay, it's not to rely on other people's clothes. ”

"Yes, yes, it's my sister who is wrong. Yue'er, who was picking up a white skirt, turned around and looked at her funny.

"Hee-hee, Xiang'er, come and have a look. Your skin is whiter than my sister and me, and you should look good in a delicate color. This set of pink, as well as this set of Sancaixia, try it quickly. Xing'er was in a very good mood, picked up two sets of clothes and put them in front of Yu Xiaoxiang, who had already put all the coins into the small money bag.

To be honest, I've been here for many days, and I've been exposed to new things almost all the time, but if there's one thing I sigh the most, it's the "fitting mirror" in front of me. As long as you pick up the clothes and put them in front of the mirror, you will immediately have a hologram of yourself wearing clothes in front of you and rotate slightly, which is convenient and straight, and even the hairstyle and makeup can be changed at will, which is a woman's dream mirror.

Finding that Xing'er's vision is really very good, the clothes recommended to him are delicate and lovely, and they are youthful and lively, Yu Xiaoxiang turned her head happily and gave a thumbs up to Xing'er, who was waiting for an answer with wide eyes. This action naturally made Xing'er on the other side feel very satisfied.

"By the way, Sister Xing'er, who are the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Hui that His Royal Highness and the Fourth Highness said just now? It seems that they still hate that Imperial Concubine Hui?" asked curiously while arranging her clothes.

"Well...... this" After Xing'er heard it, she turned her head to look at Yue'er, who nodded slightly after thinking about it, and said: "Xiang'er will also follow His Highness in the future, and the situation in Sanssouci Palace must also be known, otherwise it will be bad to cause trouble." Xing'er, tell her. ”

"I'm good at telling stories. Xing'er originally liked to talk, and with her sister's approval, of course she would not let go of such an opportunity, patted the bed and motioned for Yu Xiaoxiang to come and sit down, and then said seriously: "This matter has to start after the first Holy Queen and Xingchen Tonghui." ”

"Mmmm, Sister Xing'er, you say. Yu Xiaoxiang, whose gossip fire was burning, immediately nodded again and again and listened attentively.

"When the Holy Empress was alive, not to mention the Jiaofang pet, in the entire harem of Sanssouci Palace, there was not even a single other concubine. It's a pity that the dragon god is probably also jealous of the first holy queen and His Majesty's deep affection, when our Royal Highness was eight years old, she was already shining with the stars. After that, His Majesty was heartbroken, and for thirty years, there was not a single draft, and no concubines were registered. Although at that time, His Majesty already had three sons and one daughter, but the ministers of the court and the central government would definitely not do it after waiting. Then they wrote one after another, saying that they wanted to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, and later there was the persuasion of the queen mother's ancestors, and His Majesty reluctantly selected a group of concubines, including the German Emperor and the Huihuang Concubine. However, when they first entered the palace, they only had concubines, but they would also be the highest ranks in the first batch. ”

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiang nodding his head from time to time, Xing'er paused and continued: "The Duanmu Gate Valve, the mother clan of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, is also one of the eight great families, but the power of the maternal clan has declined, and at most it can be regarded as the last stream, if it is not for the profound background, it is not even comparable to the gate valve of some emerging families. And the mother family of Emperor Hui's concubine is the Yuwen family, the head of the eight families. By the way, do you know the Eight Great Families?"

"I don't know. All I know is that it seems like you have a lot of people with two surnames here. Sister Shangguan, you guys, and Sister Beichen, General Gongsun, General Baili or something. Yu Xiaoxiang shook her head very honestly.

"The so-called Eight Great Families refer to Yuwen, Nangong, Shangguan, Sima, Dugu, Zhongli, Shentu and Duanmu. For example, the head of today's civil officials, Zuo Yizheng Shangguan, that is, Zuo Xiangyu Wenxiucheng, is the patriarch of Yuwen Gate Valve. And Nangong Wen, the official of the right council, is the patriarch of the Nangong Gate Valve. By the way, the crown princess is also the descendant of the Nangong Gate Valve. Xing'er said with a wave of her finger.
