Chapter 109: The Pearl of the East China Sea
readx;? For a long time, the Queen Mother muttered to herself in a daze and stunned: "It turns out that it's 'Cui'." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Le Lin said: "Every emerald treasure is engraved with the word 'emerald'. ”
"An Guohou," the Queen Mother finally came back to her senses a little and asked Le Lin: "The mourning family really likes this ring, I wonder if you are willing to cut your love?"
Lelin was reluctant to answer.
She doesn't want to cut her love.
How delicate and rare this gem is.
This kind of color, without a trace of impurities, is as pure as a clear blue sky.
The Queen Mother could see Le Lin's hesitation, so she instructed Bai Zhi: "Go and bring the phoenix crown of the mourning family." ”
Phoenix crown?
Le Lin was stunned.
The so-called phoenix crown is the crown ornament of ancient queens and concubines, and it is decorated with phoenix-like jewelry. Le Lin saw more in TV and movies in later generations, is the phoenix crown of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that its shape is the system of the Song Dynasty, and it has been developed and improved, so it is more graceful and luxurious.
The phoenix crown of the Song Dynasty, she had never seen it, and she couldn't help but be a little curious.
Chai Zhen, Chai Yao and Chai Li, who were present, were all taken aback.
The phoenix crown is named after the phoenix embellishment. The phoenix is the king of all birds, so only the queen is worthy of it, and even the queen will only wear it during grand ceremonies, such as receiving the book, visiting the temple, and court meetings.
But the three people involved in this matter, the Queen Mother, Le Lin, and Bai Zhi, although they have their own reasons, they all look the same.
After a short moment, Bai Zhi came in with a thirteen or four-inch square sandalwood box, opened it, and inside was the phoenix crown.
Le Lin looked at it carefully, it was a double phoenix dragon crown, made of soap, with jade and sapphire. It is decorated with a golden dragon, and Yi is a jade phoenix with two pearls, all of which are beads and drops. Before and after the pearl peony flower, stamen, green leaves, pearl and green flower sideburns, pearl cui cloud, etc. There are three temples, a total of six fans on the left and right, each with a golden dragon and a golden phoenix with beads and knots.
On the crown of the phoenix, the golden dragon rises and leaps above the emerald clouds, and the emerald phoenix spreads its wings and flies among the jeweled flowers and leaves.
The interplay of gold and jade is exquisite, and it is by no means possible for ordinary craftsmen.
And all the people froze.
And the most wonderful thing is that the top of the phoenix crown is inlaid with a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg.
A pearl of this size and round is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a fortune. I saw that it was white and flawless, crystal dazzling, and under the reflection of the sun, it emitted a faint and faint halo, and there was a strange sense of solemnity.
In the past, Le Lin read Li Shangyin's "Jin Se" and read the sentence "There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon", and she was puzzled.
When I see this pearl now, the image jumps into my mind.
The bright moonlight, through the deep blue water, reflects this bright and round pearl, shining brightly, like the tears of the legendary mermaid.
Just when everyone was still staring at the huge pearl and couldn't take their eyes off, the Queen Mother pinched the pearl, pulled it hard, and twisted it several times, and the pearl was finally pulled off.
The Queen Mother put it in the palm of her hand, only glanced at it, and without any nostalgia, she handed it to Le Lin again, and said: "This pearl of the East China Sea is a treasure paid tribute by the Java country, and it was given by the first emperor himself. ”
The pearl of the first emperor!
Everyone looked at the Queen Mother and Le Lin as if they had received an electric shock, as if they couldn't grasp the essentials.
And Le Lin intellectually, knowing that she can't reach out to pick it up, but emotionally she can't control it.
She thought of a plot in Stephen Chow's "The Great Inner Secret Agent" - Ah Fa used a rare night pearl in the world to test the famous prostitute Qin Cao, and then found out that "she" was actually the villain Wuxianghuang. Emperor Wuxiang asked Ah Fa how he discovered his disguise, and Ah Fa replied that there was no woman in this world who could resist the temptation of the Night Pearl.
Le Lin is just an ordinary woman, how can she resist it?
Seeing that she was about to raise her hand and take the pearl of the East China Sea, Chai Yao hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, this is a treasure given by the emperor's father, how can you casually reward this shameless person?"
"Shameless?"
The Queen Mother looked at Chai Yao and saw that the left side of her face was red and swollen, and then looked at Chai Li who was standing next to her, and her face also had a similar unnatural redness and swelling.
Chai Yao's arrogant and domineering reputation, the Queen Mother had also heard of it a little, and at that moment, she had a prediction in her heart.
She glanced at Chai Yao.
"Imperial grandmother," Chai Yao suddenly felt that the temperature around her was much colder, but she still wanted to find some tail color here from the Queen Mother, so she said coquettishly: "This person is shameless, he and Chai Li privately taught and suffered, embarrassed, he first slandered me, and then slapped me, and said obscene and shameless things to me, and refused to admit guilt!"
She finished what had just happened in one breath, like setting off a firecracker.
After taking a breath, Chai Yao was still not satisfied, and added: "It is already a supreme honor for his ring to be seen by the imperial grandmother, he is stingy and greedy for money, the imperial grandmother, you are already extremely generous for not curing his crimes, why do you still exchange the treasures given by the imperial grandfather?"
The Queen Mother only looked at her coldly, and asked without a trace of emotion: "Finished?"
"Huh?" Chai Yao couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant, so she only subconsciously followed her words and said, "It's over." ”
The Queen Mother leaned to the back of the chaise longue, took the tea cup on the small table next to her, and without saying a word, gently swept away the floating tea foam with the lid of the cup, blew again, and took a sip of tea.
"Since when," she didn't look at Chai Yao, but only said to Bai Zhi: "The people of Shujing Palace can actually manage the head of the mourning family?"
The tone was as if he was chatting about the poetry of the wind and snow.
But Chai Zhen immediately knelt down, kowtowed in fear, and said: "The imperial grandmother forgives her sins!" A-Yao is just young and ignorant, and she has no intention, and her grandson will definitely show her mother one by one, discipline her more, and hope that the imperial grandmother Haihan!"
Whether it was an unintentional mistake or not, it is not clear to the mourning family. The Queen Mother looked at Chai Zhen and smiled, but in Chai Zhen's opinion, that smile was even more terrifying than a ghost.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to think she was worried enough, and continued: "However, she is not young, and the mourning family is very sure of this." ”
"Imperial Grandmother forgiveness!"
Chai Zhen has no other way than to admit her mistakes.
But Chai Yao, the initiator, seemed to be ignorant of the Queen Mother's anger: "Ah Zhen, what are you doing?
"Angelica Angelica,"
The Queen Mother saw that Chai Yao was so arrogant and unconscious, and she shook her head helplessly, she ordered: "Unknowingly, this Chai Zhen and Chai Yao are about to be in time, come to think of it, Lu Zhaoyi has to take care of the three girls' families, maybe she is a little powerless, right?"
Bai Zhi said respectfully: "What the Queen Mother said is reasonable. ”
The Queen Mother asked again: "Is there still a vacant hall in our Yanfu Palace?"
Bai Zhi understood what she meant, and replied: "Liufang Hall is leaning on the imperial garden, and the environment is okay. ”
"Tomorrow, you go to Shujing Palace and pass on an edict for me - Chai Li will move to Liufang Hall from tomorrow and be taken care of by the mourning family himself. ”
Bai Zhi nodded and said, "The slave knows." ”
"Imperial Grandmother!"
Chai Zhen instantly reacted to what this meant, her little face turned white, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Imperial grandmother think twice!
The Queen Mother smiled at Chai Zhen and said, "Chrysostom Yuyan, how can you go from three to four at dusk?"
She stuffed the Pearl of the East China Sea in her hand into Le Lin's hand, and then took the emerald ring into her hand, and said: "This ring is a token given by your grandfather to your grandmother, and the pearl of the mourning family is also given by the first emperor. This matter is settled?"
Hearing this, Le Lin shook her head solemnly, and respected this funny and sensible old lady even more in her heart.
She said heartily: "Good!"
The Queen Mother also smiled, she slapped her shoulder and yawned. Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly pinched her shoulders and relaxed.
Everyone was speechless for a while.
After a while, the Queen Mother spoke: "Everyone is scattered, the mourning family is a little tired." ”
The crowd had no choice but to retreat.
