Chapter 256: The play within the play--- Imperial Green Jade
The phosphorescent stars scattered when the phoenix-tailed butterflies flutter and flutter are bright and extinguished.
The roses swayed gracefully and in the warm wind, the blue sky floated with soft cloud feathers, and the warm sun shone through the stratus clouds, sprinkling on the gurgling water.
The clear and crystalline water droplets fell on the red and lush rose petals, and the scattered countless tiny water droplets slowly condensed at the edge of the petals, and the dazzling gilt golden beams were impregnated in the water droplets, snapping---
The droplets fall apart as they fall into the dirt, but they quickly disappear without a trace.
"The slave and maid obey the order, please ask Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine and Miss Nanda to wait for a while, and the slave and maid will go back as soon as they go." The light blue palace skirt revealed a fresh and elegant beauty when she fluttered in the warm breeze, and after the clerk curtsied, she bowed her eyebrows respectfully and bowed down gently.
Mo Yu's long hair flowed with a little bit of clear light and broken shadows, and the supple and smooth squirm fell on the white marble bench, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at the imperial concubine in gorgeous clothes, and smiled lightly: "In this case, thank you for the love of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, I have heard for a long time that the jewelry craftsmanship of the Sakura Kingdom is superb, just because I am not in the Xuan Kingdom, so I have not seen it." It is only today that thanks to the grace of His Highness, I have the privilege of witnessing the ingenuity of your country's craftsmanship. ”
"Miss Nanda is really good at talking, but the things haven't arrived yet, and when they arrive, it's not too late for you to praise them." The red gold treasure bracelet shimmered with a luxurious and dazzling floating light, and the imperial concubine lowered her eyes and smiled faintly when she heard this, and the delicate and rich face depicted was half covered and half hidden under the shadow of the hazy cherry blossom tree.
The soft white light yarn fluttered in the warm breeze, Nan Zuisheng lowered his thick eyelashes slightly, and raised his wrist to reveal the grace of fairy jade between his eyes: "Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, who in the palace does not know that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is favored by thousands of people, and her status is noble, and the silk palace flowers that can be worn by His Royal Highness are definitely not vulgar things." ”
"Thousands of favors, noble status, these words came out of the mouth of Miss Nanda, how did Bengong feel panicked when she heard it?" The slender jade fingers caressing the red gold treasure bracelet caressingly, and the imperial concubine raised her eyes and glanced at Nan Zuisheng with a smile, and the prickly tone in her words was still low and charming, and she was extremely tactful.
There were pale gold shadows flowing between the eyebrows that were carefully outlined like ink paintings, Nan Zuisheng blinked his eyes slightly, and resolved the imperial concubine's difficulties in a few words: "His Royal Highness the imperial concubine is too worried, if she is of noble character and wise and polite, why is she afraid of praise or slander from others?" Unless...... There are ghosts in my heart. ”
"Oh, there's a ghost in my heart?" The thorny difficulties in the previous words were not only easily resolved by Nan Zuisheng in a few words, but now the other party actually refused to suffer any loss and kicked the thorny difficulties back. The imperial concubine slightly hooked her red lips, and her beautiful face was impregnated with a faint shadow of the tree.
The face of the country is as beautiful and stunning as a peony flower that is slowly blooming, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and stared at the imperial concubine with a shallow smile, and his eyes slowly fell on the shining peacock golden crown: "Yes, Your Highness, if it is not for the ghost in your heart, how can you be suspicious and worried?" Only genuine, noble, magnanimous and virtuous people will be open-minded and long-term. On the other hand, people with narrow minds and short-sighted vision will naturally be suspicious and worried. ”
"Miss Nanda--- said very much. In the end, she is the eldest lady who was born in a century-old family, and she is really good at speaking and well-read. "The red nails painted with magnificent red were not lightly or heavily scratched across the red gold and treasure bracelets on the jade wrist, and the imperial concubine listened to Nan Zuisheng's 'gentle and elegant' sarcasm and ridicule, and her tone was soft and charming.
The dazzling peacock gold crown elegantly hung a pearl, she stared at the brilliant gems on the gold bracelet, and the beautiful eyes depicted were slightly provoked: "But when it comes to the honey belly sword, there is a difference between the inside and the outside, and this palace found that Miss Nanda has a lot of experience in this, and I don't know if this palace is too careful." ”
"Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is magnanimous and virtuous, and her beauty is unparalleled, how can she be like those suspicious and thoughtful villains who have a sweet mouth and a sword like I just said?" The crystal tassel waist pendant fell on the soft white gauze skirt, and Nan Zuisheng avoided answering the imperial concubine's rhetorical question, but the words of flattery and praise were meaningful.
The clear ink eyes clearly reflected the quiet and beautiful scenery outside the pavilion, and Nan Zuisheng looked sideways at the rockery flowing water splashing with clear pearls and flying jade, and his voice was soft and clear: "As for what His Highness just said, 'quite experienced', I thought about it carefully, only the real ...... Vicious people will have a lot of experience in the two camouflage skills of the mouth and the sword, and the difference between the inside and the outside. And I, Your Highness, also know, but how can a young girl who is still an underage understand these twists and turns? But casually, I'll make you laugh. ”
"What a sharp-toothed, clever and eloquent Miss Nanda." The delicate carved marigold was filled with warm ginseng tea, and the imperial concubine lowered her eyes and took a sip of it elegantly, and said with a smile.
"It's my honor to be so praised by Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine." The jade skin that seemed to be piled up with pear blossoms was soaked with pale gold shadows, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and the soft white long veil decorated on the jade wrist fluttered.
The golden warm sun shines through the shadows of the hazy cherry blossom trees in the pavilion, and the imperial concubine in gorgeous clothes sits elegantly on the white marble bench, the layers of golden silk skirts flow with dazzling floating light, and the peacock gold patterns embroidered on the collar and skirt shine, revealing the noble and gorgeous royal style.
The freshness and elegance of the hibiscus flower dew soaked between the lips and teeth, and Nan Zuisheng, who was only wearing a soft white light gauze dress, raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful imperial concubine quietly. It's the middle of July now, and the heat is unbearable, but the other party is still dressed in elegant and gorgeous dresses, and she feels very stuffy when she looks at the layered silk skirt.
In addition, the warm ginseng tea held in the carved marigold, and the bright and luxurious gold and jade jewelry such as the peacock gold crown that is not light, all kinds of gorgeous ornaments that seem to be noble but are actually cumbersome are worn on the body, but the imperial concubine does not show the slightest heat impatience.
It can be seen that the endurance and concentration of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine are absolutely extraordinary.
The hazy shadow of the cherry blossom tree flowed faintly on the white marble steps, and just as Nan Zuisheng was secretly thinking about it, the delicate pale blue figure of the clerk had already fluttered from the roses: "Your Royal Highness, the silk flowers you ordered the slave and maid to fetch, and the slave and maid have already taken them." ”
"Your efficiency is quite fast, it's hard for you to go on this trip for the palace on a hot day." The gorgeous silk skirt embroidered with peacock gold patterns swayed to the ground, the beautiful eyes of the imperial concubine flowed, and the slender jade fingers casually lifted the pale gold tassel silk curtain on the golden tray.
The light blue palace skirt depicting weeping willows and birds fluttered slightly in the warm breeze, and the clerk bowed respectfully, and his voice was soft: "His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is serious, and it is the duty of a slave to do things for His Royal Highness." ”
The glittering peacock golden crown hung with a flawless pearl, the imperial concubine lowered her slender eyelashes, and the delicate and gorgeous satin flowers placed on the golden tray came into view: "Well, you are obedient." These silk flowers are the latest to be made by the Treasures Department, but these gold, silver and jewelry are too many rewards from His Majesty on weekdays, plus the fashionable jewels presented by the Treasures Department every month, accumulated over time, even if the palace wears the same every day, it will not be worn for a year. ”
"Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is noble and pampered, and the female officials in the treasure department must serve His Highness wholeheartedly and please His Highness." The crystal cherry blossom hairpin that was obliquely pulled in Mo Yu's long hair flowed with a little bit of clear light and broken shadows, and Nan Zuisheng smiled lightly when he heard this, and said slowly in a clear tone.
The slender jade fingers smeared with magnificent and bright red nails gently stroked the silk and satin flowers stacked with gold and jade, and the imperial concubine stared at the floating light in the tray with lowered eyes, and her voice was low and charming: "Miss Nanda, you were born in a famous century-old family, and you want to read countless treasures since you were a child. Why don't you come and help Hongu to see what is so ingenious about these newly made silk flowers? ”
"Her Royal Highness's invitation, how can I decline it?" The long hair flowing like ink fell on the soft white gauze skirt, Nan Zui Sheng hooked his pale red lips, and walked slowly in front of the document with an elegant posture.
"Miss Nanda, please." The shadows of the hazy and dark cherry blossom trees swayed on the pale blue palace skirt of the paperwork, and she lowered her eyebrows, holding the golden tray of satin flowers in her hands with a respectful attitude.
The flowers stacked with luxurious silky satin flowed with a lustrous glow, and Nan Zuisheng's eyes first fell on the plain silk and satin flowers, except for the stacked silky satin, there was no other dazzling gold and silver jewelry decoration, but it still revealed a gorgeous and elegant brilliance.
The plain flowers stacked with bright blue satin flow with a faint soft light, and Nan Zuisheng just glanced at it, and he already saw the uniqueness of this pair of plain silk and satin flowers: "Although the style of this pair of plain silk and satin flowers is simpler, it is better than fresh and elegant, and the color of bright blue is neither too gaudy, but also not too dark, and the faint soft light that flows slightly does not lose the royal noble style, which is a unique and excellent choice in the hot summer." ”
"Miss Nanda really has good eyesight." In the delicate carved marigold, the warm ginseng tea in full bloom has bottomed out. After the imperial concubine took the golden silk handkerchief handed by the maid, she wiped the corners of her lips elegantly.
As his clear ink eyes flowed, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and looked at the remaining three silk palace flowers in the golden tray. They are a pair of gold and jade satin flowers, jade moire silk satin flowers, and pearl tassel silk satin flowers.
Among them, the pearl tassel satin flowers are the most dazzling, the pearls hanging under the jade white roses are round and flawless, the style is a gorgeous and slightly cumbersome horizontal bead curtain, the pearl is neatly draped under the sterling silver chain, it is not difficult to imagine that if it is worn in the hair, it will sway and flow with warm and bright light between walking.
The long hair of the ink feather flowing with clear light and broken shadows flowed on the soft white gauze skirt, and Nan Zuisheng gently picked up the pearl tassel rose flowers, and lowered his eyes to appreciate the lustrous brilliance flowing between the pearl tassels: "Although this pair of pearl tassel roses is not as valuable as the silk and satin flowers embellished with gold and jade and jade moire, the pearls hanging under the tassels are smooth and flawless, and what is even more rare is that each pearl is brilliant and can reflect the bright and dazzling brilliance from different angles." ”
"Oh? But this palace thinks that this pair of pearl tassel satin flowers is not as good as gold and jade, jade and moire silk and satin flowers. The imperial concubine put the carved marigold in her hand back on the golden tray, she raised her eyes and casually glanced at the pearl tassel flowing from Huize, and her red lips were slightly hooked.
The finely carved peacock gold crown flowed with dazzling light, and the imperial concubine raised her beautiful eyes stained with pearlescent eye shadow, and said slowly with contempt and mockery between her words: "Pearls are not precious and rare things, compared with red gold and jadeite, they are too overshadowed." The foil used to make red gold gemstones is the icing on the cake, but if you only use pearls as decoration, it will inevitably look too petty. ”
At this point, she hooked her delicate lips and smiled gently, her beautiful face was soaked with the dazzling light of red gold: "Miss Nanda, what do you think...... Is Hongu right? ”
This is ridiculing my petty family, and I don't deserve to be born in a famous century-old family.
There was a layer of pale gold light flowing from the edge of the slender eyelashes, and Nan Zuisheng stared at the white marble masonry in the pavilion with a shallow smile, and secretly thought in his heart: In the end, it is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, even if it is my innate glory and dignity, I can be picked out by her and degraded to the dust.
"What Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine said is indeed reasonable--- The fairy jade-colored face was flowing with a light gold shadow that was uncertain, and Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and stared at the imperial concubine with a shallow smile, and his ink eyes were sparkling.
The slender and slender jade fingers swayed the flawless pearl tassel, she soaked the pearl in her hand under the gilt beam, and the brilliant glow suddenly flowed in the pavilion, which was really dazzling: "But this pearl is extraordinary, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine loves red gold gemstones, but does not love pearls, and wants to come to the pearl in the brilliance and color of the pearl without any study and exploration, so he will say such a thing, and denounce such a pearl of excellent quality as worthless." ”
"Delve into it? It's just a few pearls, what is worth exploring in this palace? Miss Nanda, you're exaggerating too much, aren't you? The gorgeous skirt embroidered with peacock gold patterns dragged on the white marble masonry, and the imperial concubine's eyes were slightly dim when she heard this, and her voice was low and soft, and she asked slowly as if she was smiling.
The crystal cherry blossom hairpin that was obliquely pulled in Mo Yu's long hair slipped off a little, and Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes with strong eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is wrong, I didn't exaggerate it." But it's no wonder that His Royal Highness has lived in the inner palace for a long time, and I don't think about it, it's because I haven't thought about it. ”
Because he has lived in the inner palace for a long time, he is short-sighted and lonely.
Nan Zuisheng's pun was really elegant and tactful, which not only sharply and ruthlessly criticized the imperial concubine's unheard of, but also insinuated revenge on the previous imperial concubine's arrogant contempt for ridiculing her for her 'petty family'.
In this way, the real 'petty family' person is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine herself.
Before the words fell, the enchanting smile of the imperial concubine instantly stiffened on her face. Obviously, she understood the sharp mockery implied by Nan Zuisheng's words. The nails painted with magnificent bright red pierced deep into the delicate palm, she lowered her eyes and smiled lightly to suppress the anger in her heart, and her face still maintained a graceful and elegant royal demeanor.
"This palace has lived in the inner palace for a long time, and the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by His Majesty are too numerous, and after a long time, this palace is indeed not very concerned about the exploration of these gold and silver jewelry." The pearl in the mouth of the peacock's golden crown was shining, and the imperial concubine suppressed her anger while saying with an elegant smile.
The gilded beam of light sprinkled on the soft white light yarn, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyebrows like ink painting slightly, and his clear and gentle voice was as clear and ethereal as gurgling water: "You must know that although pearls are easy to obtain, they are of good quality, and the best pearls with brilliance are rare." However, the pearls hanging under the roses and satin flowers are all the best of brilliance, which shows that the female officials of the treasure department really tried their best to please Her Royal Highness. ”
"According to Miss Nanda, this pair of pearl tassels and satin flowers are truly luxurious treasures, right?" The delicate and rich eyebrows depicted are slightly frowned, and the imperial concubine sits elegantly on the white marble bench, her voice low and charming.
A strand of long black feather hair lingered shallowly around the crook of the arm, and Nan Zusheng's red lips opened slightly: "It should be the most ingenious, not the truly luxurious." ”
The narrow and slender jade fingers elegantly picked up the jade moire satin flower, Nan Zuisheng lowered his slender eyelashes, and said slowly with a smile: "This pair of jade moire silk flowers is a truly luxurious treasure, and this jade inlaid in the stamens is the best imperial green." ”
The golden silk skirt with the dark pattern of the peacock elegantly dragged on the white marble masonry, the imperial concubine hooked her red lips, and the pearl of the peacock golden crown swayed slightly between her eyebrows: "Miss Nanda has vicious eyes, these two superb imperial green jadeites are indeed rare and rare, and many imperial concubines in the palace who were born in the nobles and nobles could not recognize the true value of these two jadeites. ”
The smooth and flawless jadeite flows with clear and elegant clear light and broken shadows, Nan Zuisheng stretched his picturesque eyebrows when he heard this, and the smile soaked in his lips was gentle and elegant: "The best imperial green jadeite is very cherished and rare, this jadeite inlaid in the satin stamen is lustrous in color, clear and dazzling, and it is the world's rare best jadeite." ”
Speaking of this, Nan Zuisheng put down the jade moire silk flowers in his hand, and the hazy shadow of the cherry blossom tree swayed on his fairy jade face: "The dignity and favor of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine are enough to be seen from this superb imperial green jade." ”
