Chapter 216: The Imperial Concubine Pulled Behind the Golden Peacock
The gold and silver jewels are stacked in a dazzling light, and one of the intricately carved gem-encrusted gold peacocks stands out. The refracted golden glow is complemented by the brilliance of the gemstones, especially the intricately carved peacock wings, each feathered with turquoise gemstones at the end of the feathers.
The crystal lamps hanging directly above the palace are gorgeous, and the golden peacock flows through the palace with golden brilliance and turquoise radiance, and the wings of the earth change the gorgeous glow at different angles.
It's truly magnificent.
"Yes, these gold, silver and jewels are gifts from my father to His Royal Highness, or to the royal sisters and sisters, is this how the people in the consular office in the palace do things?" Xu Shen lowered his eyes and looked at it casually for a moment, and his eyes were also stinged by the brilliant light reflected and circulated by the gold, silver and jewelry stacked in the corner of the palace.
He looked sideways at the list of gifts hanging from the table, the gilt gold font was shining, the number of gifts was so numerous, and the value of the items far exceeded the standard of gifts that the emperor had given to His Royal Highness the imperial concubine in the past: "Go, the person in charge of the consular office has been summoned to the palace, and it is really negligent and unforgivable to pile up the royal gifts given by the emperor so casually and messily in the corners of the palace." ”
The golden peacock with the wrong color of gold was shining, and Nan Zuisheng heard the words and his eyes wandered, and he faintly noticed something, but he couldn't touch the specific edge: "Are you deaf?" Don't go yet. She glanced at the waitress behind her lightly, and had to say something to remind the stunned everyone.
"Yes, the slave will go and summon the consul's aunt." The maid nodded hurriedly as if she had woken up from a dream, and after curtsieving to Xu Shen and Nan Zuisheng respectively, she bowed her head respectfully and withdrew from the palace, and hurriedly went to summon the aunt in charge of the consular office in the palace.
"This golden peacock ornament was given by my father to His Royal Highness the Imperial Princess?" Xu Shen narrowed his deep starry eyes, and the brilliant shadow of the golden peacock was clearly reflected in his eyes.
A waitress who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very clever and intelligent, and after entering the palace, she quietly looked at everything around her: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this golden peacock with miscolored wisps of gold is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to His Royal Highness the Little Princess." ”
The lilac first-class maid's dress was embroidered with gorgeous and blooming begonia flowers, and the waitress bowed respectfully and solemnly, maintaining a bowing movement and replied in an orderly manner: "Because Her Royal Highness the little princess's birthday is approaching, Your Majesty specially ordered someone to go down and carefully build a golden peacock with pure gold inlaid with precious stones, and even the gems decorated with tail feathers are personally selected by His Majesty, ready to be given as a finale gift at the little princess's birthday banquet, so as to give a surprise to Her Royal Highness the little princess." ”
"No wonder ......" Xu Shen heard that the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, although the smile on his face was still elegant and incomparable, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
It can be seen that he does not like the little princess.
The golden thread embroidered dragon soared majestically, Xu Shen faintly retracted his gaze, and the green jade jade pendant worn on his waist swayed slightly with his calm and elegant steps: "Since it is a gift that my father is going to give to the royal sister at the birthday banquet, it must not be placed in the corner of the palace at will, and you will move this golden peacock to the palace of the palace, so that you can protect this treasure tightly." ”
This...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?
When several maids in the hall heard this, they all secretly exchanged glances. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a respected status, Her Royal Highness the little princess is notoriously delicate in the palace. If it is said to be delicate, it is not.
To be precise, it should be brutal and willful, arrogant and domineering.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the slaves and maids dare not disobey your orders. But ......" Seeing this, the clever and intelligent waitress directly bowed her knees respectfully and knelt on the cold and hard blue bricks.
The lilac symbolizes the first-class costumes scattered on the green bricks, the maid frowned slightly, and it was difficult to hide the fear and panic of Her Royal Highness the little princess: "But Her Royal Highness the little princess has been favored by His Majesty since she was a child, coupled with the all-encompassing pampering of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, so Her Royal Highness the little princess is inevitably pampered and childish...... I am afraid that life is worse than death for such a slave and maid, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be gracious. ”
Her Royal Highness?
Nan Zuisheng, who was quietly watching the show, frowned slightly when he heard this.
I have only heard that in addition to the favor of Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Sakura Kingdom, even the concerted efforts of many countless Royal Highnesses have not been able to take away the slightest favor from Her Royal Highness, not to mention the delusional shaking of the standing position of the main palace.
In this case, in addition to Her Royal Highness the Queen, who has a stable position and is loved by thousands of people, where did Her Royal Highness the 'Imperial Concubine' who suddenly appeared come from? Could it be that the news that came back from inside the royal family of Sakura Kingdom before was all false? No, there must be something else hidden in this!
The gorgeous layered skirt hung to the ground, Nan Zuisheng quietly glanced at the silent Xu Shen, and the ruthlessness soaked in the young man's eyebrows clearly came into view: "You waitress is so stupid." Obviously, the people in the consular office in the palace were negligent in their duties, and they stacked the gifts that His Majesty gave to Her Royal Highness the little princess in the west corner of the palace so casually, even if Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine wants to blame, you can't blame it. ”
What's more, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine didn't dare to blame the heads of the maids on His Royal Highness the Prince's side.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of a dignified country, and he is also born to Her Royal Highness the Queen, who is a noble and high-ranking queen, and the name of 'Crown Prince' is envied by many Royal Highnesses. Even if Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has a noble status and is close to the queen's main palace, in the final analysis, she is just an emperor's pet plaything.
The former is the noble crown prince, and the latter is the favorite concubine who lives in the palace.
No matter how ridiculous and mediocre His Majesty the Emperor of Sakura Country is, he will never dare to let the country of life at will be in the hands of a favorite concubine. The crown prince is the prince, and the favorite concubine is the favorite concubine, as long as His Royal Highness the prince does not commit heinous crimes, with the honorable status of Xu Shen's mother and his own wisdom and intelligence, he is naturally towering and unmoving.
If His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is just because of this trivial matter, he can easily blame the head of the maid beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then it is really --- eat the bear's heart and leopard gall.
Mo Yu's long hair hung down quietly on his waist, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and casually brushed a strand of ink hair around the crook of his arm, his voice obviously sounded so clear and clear, but it revealed a taste that was --- extremely dangerous: "Besides, will His Royal Highness the Prince of a dignified country still have such a golden peacock?" Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally bumped and broke it after placing it in the palace, it was a big deal to order someone to rebuild a more gorgeous and precious statue, so why take such a lot of trouble to move this golden peacock to his palace to take care of it? ”
Her long eyelashes, which were as gorgeous as phoenix tail butterfly wings, fell slightly, and she stared down at the restless maid who was kneeling on the ground, and her tone was cold and sarcastic: "In the final analysis, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pities the little princess, and he doesn't want to see the gifts carefully ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to be piled up in a corner of the palace like this." ”
"Miss Nanda taught me a lesson, but the slave maid ......" The maid frowned and looked down at the ground in panic, and the girl's gorgeous layered skirt was like a blooming peony flower.
The skirt depicting clusters of cherry blossoms suddenly bent and overlapped, and Nan drunken interrupted the waitress's hesitant words, and her voice was inevitably impregnated with a bit of domineering: "Idiot! I just said you were stupid, but I didn't think you were so stupid! No matter how Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine can get the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, can her status still surpass Her Royal Highness the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You don't have to think about it. ”
"What Miss Nanda taught me is that the slave maid has many gaffes, and she also asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive her sins!" The waitress suddenly woke up when she heard this, and the panic and fear of Fang Cai were fleeting.
"The slave maid will order a few maids to move this golden peacock to the palace, thank Miss Nanda for her suggestion, and the slave and maid are grateful." The lilac palace skirt was scattered in layers, and the maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, secretly hating why she was so stupid and embarrassed in front of everyone.
The light pink gorgeous and delicate dress flowed with fine softness, and Nan Zuisheng condescendingly looked down at the maid kneeling at his feet, and his voice was cold: "It's not a lesson, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is His Royal Highness the Prince, even if His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is constantly gracious, relying on the grace given to her by His Majesty to blame you, you shouldn't be so frightened and uneasy!" ”
At this point, she snorted coldly and turned around with her skirt on the ground, mercilessly putting down her sharp criticism: "It's really a shame for His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Before the words fell, the maids standing in the palace with their heads bowed were shocked into a cold sweat, and they all knelt on the ground with their hands folded, and no one dared to quietly raise their eyes to spy on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince. Miss Nanda was right, and when they heard these words today, they not only felt angry, but felt extremely ashamed.
Thinking about it, although Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is constantly favored, she only has one son and one daughter under her knees, and according to the rules of the royal family, they are all concubines and concubines whose status is more than one level lower than that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Her Royal Highness the Queen is very favored and has a noble status, although Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has received His Majesty's favor, she has not been able to cross Her Royal Highness the Queen from beginning to end, but has been admonished by Her Majesty personally several times because she was late in asking Her Royal Highness the Queen.
This is the true noble master, and it is also the unique importance of the emperor.
