Chapter 30: The Death of Passion
"Huh, Ah Xu," I stared at his handsome face with fascination as the white lotus blooming to the extreme, and suddenly remembered one thing, "Don't forget the past two days--thousands of acres of fertile land and ten miles of red makeup." Does it mean that my dowry is a lot?
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have given a damn about the red makeup. Xuanyuan Xu watched my eyes wander, gradually warm, "In my life, as long as you are alone!"
"Ah......h
"Miss, Miss," Mo Forget shouted at the door, "Madame told you to take a look, your makeup box has been delivered, it's beautiful!"
"Got it!" I replied as I turned my head to look at Xuanyuan Xu, "Ahxu, do you want to go with you too?"
Xuanyuan Xu smiled and shook his head, helped me stand up, and helped me straighten the hem of my skirt, "My husband went to see the makeup, and it didn't make sense." Xuan'er can just go and see it, and what Xuan'er likes must be what I like. ”
"Hmm!" The ten-mile red makeup in my memory is the lively team in the TV series, and now I can watch it carefully, and I can't help but be curious, "Then, I'll take a look." ”
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard of my mother's wife's main house, my eyes were straight, and the courtyard was red and bright like clouds.
All kinds of fine jewelry, all kinds of female red; soft cages, bedding, clothes and shoes; Small buckets, fruit buckets, foot buckets, porcelain bottles, Cheng cans, large furniture, beds, and tables, all of which are connected to wire boards and spindles!
"Xuan'er, come on, take a look at this makeup cabinet, do you still like it?" The mother's voice is always gentle and amiable, "This is specially made for you by the mother, and you have been doing it since you were eight years old!"
I looked at a bedside table-like oval cabinet, lacquered with gold, the bottom of the cabinet was inlaid with gold leaf with a gorgeous pattern of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, and the rest of the space was inlaid with countless gold leaf butterflies, large and small, dancing, vivid, at a glance, the butterflies seemed to fly in front of my eyes.
It's not like a cabinet with rouge gouache hairpin ring jewelry, but rather like a handicraft. I can't put it down, and these incredibly realistic butterfly gold foil alone are worth a lot of money!
"Xuan'er," my mother was very satisfied with my performance, "Open it and take a look, there is a mystery in it!"
I gently pulled the pure gold handle on the stamens of the two peonies, as if touching something, and after a slight click, the two cabinet doors in front of me opened and extended outward, and the layers of spacing inside were like spring shoots, slowly rising upward, higher and wider.
After standing still, in front of my eyes, many small compartments were stacked and intertwined, and they were perfectly formed, a plane butterfly with both gods and shapes spreading its wings and ready to fly!
I opened my mouth wide in surprise and stared blankly at the many butterfly-shaped compartments in front of me, all of which looked detailed and exquisite. What was even more shocking was that the small compartment was densely filled with jewelry--golden hairpins, wisps of hosta, and pearl and gemstone crowns...... The most eye-catching thing is that in the slightly larger compartment in the center, the pure jadeite carved moon by moon phoenix crown is full of light. This color, this carving, is simply a peerless treasure!
I'm almost stupid, this butterfly cabinet full of treasures is priceless!!
"Xuan'er, this jade is stepping on the cloud phoenix crown month by month, it was originally the dowry that the eldest princess got from the former empress dowager," my mother happily hugged me and smiled Yan Yan, "Now that I have given you polish and makeup, you should go and thank you in person." The eldest princess has just arrived, and at this time, she is drinking tea in the front hall!"
"Okay!" I nodded hurriedly, this eldest princess and aunt are so generous, this thing, the thief is precious!
The front hall with a calm momentum was quiet and silent at this time, only the shallow crisp sound of the tea lid gently knocking on the tea cup.
I know that this is the eldest princess drinking tea! According to the royal rules, the eldest princess is the lord of the family, and she has to drink the tea before she can talk about family life.
I waited quietly at the door, until the eldest princess finished drinking tea and began to serve tea to my father-in-law, that is, my grandfather, I walked in in in a proper manner, supported by Mo Li, and bowed respectfully to the brilliant woman in neon clothes: "Auntie is well!"
"Good Xuan'er!" the eldest princess was kind and kind, and her full moon-like smile made my heart warm, "Come, come and sit next to Auntie, let Auntie take a good look at you, what a good boy, but it hurts!"
I actually felt a little shy, she was the first woman I had ever met. And now I, in her eyes, can be regarded as her new daughter-in-law!?
Grandpa, Daddy, and Uncle Pony all said goodbye, thinking that they were going to discuss something, and left me to accompany the eldest princess and aunt to gossip.
I was worried that I didn't know what to say, but the eldest princess's brisk voice was like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate: "Good Xuan'er, let your two maids go down, prepare some delicious refreshments and fruits, and we will go to meet your grandmother together later." ”
"Yes, eldest princess. "Don't forget to say in unison.
Glancing at the door that closed gently, the eldest princess sighed silently, long and sad, and my heart trembled inexplicably when I heard it.
"Good Xuan'er, if what your aunt says doesn't matter, don't blame you. The eldest princess slowly took me into her arms and caressed my back gently. The fragrance of her dress was light and clear, and I smelled it, like stepping barefoot into the cold stream of early spring, and my heart couldn't help but fall slowly.
"Good Xuan'er, an emperor, do you know what you are most afraid of?" the eldest princess looked at me and shook her head slightly, "Auntie told you that there are few heirs. Therefore, the most feared problem of the royal family is male dedication. ”
"You and Xu'er are in love, and Xu'er only wants to stay with you for a long time, which is originally a beautiful thing. The eldest princess sighed again: "It's a pity that in the imperial family, this is the most fatal flaw of the prince." Xu'er can ignore the country for you, regardless of everything, even her own life! Do you think, does the emperor dare to give him the imperial throne?"
I shook my head slightly again, every emperor hopes that the country will last forever, and he will not give the throne to a ruined son who regards the country like a mustard. But Xuanyuan Xu is not!"Ah Xu is not like this, he has the talent to govern the country well!"
"Yes, Xu'er is an emperor's talent cultivated by the emperor's elder brother. Before you appeared, Xu'er had a tough heart, was not happy for things or sad for herself, turned her hands into clouds and covered her hands for rain, and she could be a good emperor. But because of you, he almost gave up his life, and the emperor gave up on him. The emperor has a son, don't forget, he also has the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince!" The eldest princess's voice began to be clear, and there was no longer the slightest compassion in her tone: "After you get married, the emperor will appoint a prince." If the crown prince is not Xu'er, then the most favored Seventh Prince, Xu'er, will definitely die!"
