Chapter 21: Pearl

After the prince's gifts were delivered, the other people's gifts were overshadowed, and the other princes looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, it was almost the turn of the Duanwang Mansion to pay tribute, and the little palace maid next to the Queen Mother had just retreated, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother whispered to her.

After a while, the little palace maid returned, still holding something in her hand.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and said to the prince: "Qiancheng gave grandma such a good gift, which is a blessing for our Dachun Dynasty, grandma can't be too stingy, and also give Qiancheng a thing." ”

The prince was flattered when he heard this, his brain turned slowly when he was studying, and he was not liked by the queen mother, and his father also had a lot of complaints about him, and today he was not only praised by everyone, but his grandmother's attitude towards him also changed.

The prince was both happy and frightened, and for a moment he did not know how to describe the feeling, like a child who had been denied all along, suddenly receiving affirmation, trembling, afraid that the praise would be fleeting.

When everyone heard that the Queen Mother wanted to return the gift, they were also interested, the Queen Mother has received too many gifts over the years, and the Queen Mother is estimated to have half of the treasures in the world.

And the Queen Mother easily didn't make a move, and this banquet really opened their eyes.

The Queen Mother saw everyone's expectant eyes, and was naughty for a while, "Why do you have that kind of look, so scared that the mourning family doesn't dare to give it, forget it, take back the gift, it's just a bead, I'm really afraid of ruining everyone's interest." ”

So saying, he asked the maid to bring back the gift.

Seeing that the duck in his hand was flying, the prince was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet, how could Grandma Huang give him a gift for the first time.

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be joking, no matter what the gift is, I believe Cheng Qian will like it."

The emperor played a round.

The prince also followed up and said: "Yes, yes, I like whatever the imperial grandmother gives, it's just a glass marble, and that's also a baby." ”

The queen mother didn't sell Guan Zi, and asked the palace maid to send the box directly to the prince.

The object was in a tray and covered with a dark green opaque blackout cloth.

I couldn't see what it looked like inside at all, so the palace maid first lifted a layer of cloth on the surface, and there was a box inside.

It took six boxes to finally get a rough shape.

The palace maid opened the small lock with her white hand, and when the palace maid's hand touched the lock, it emitted a soft white light, which looked delicate and smooth, exactly like the jade hand in the Bodhisattva portrait.

The prince was unsteady for a while, these hands are so beautiful, he would rather not have the gift, but the owner of these hands.

He looked up at the palace maid, but found that her appearance was ordinary, ordinary and well-behaved, and there was nothing amazing about it.

It's a pity that such a pair of hands grows on such a woman.

The prince's lust has long been scattered.

When the palace maid lifted the last layer of cloth, a night pearl about the size of a bowl was revealed.

Even during the day and at night, the luster of the pearl does not diminish in the slightest, and it is conceivable that if this pearl is placed in the house at night, it will be as bright as day.

Jiang Yunhe's heart shook when he saw this bead,

It was so big, the largest she had ever seen before was only the size of a walnut, and that one was only a quick one, and she never saw it again.

Such a night pearl is really fascinating.

There seems to be a kind of magic that hooks people's souls.

The people present also showed eager expressions like Jiang Yunhe.

The Night Pearl was extremely rare in the Dachun Dynasty, and even if it was small, it would only be seen once a year.

As for the Night Pearl, everyone should have only seen it in ancient books.

But no matter what, it's just a bead, that's a common idea.

Because he has never had it and naturally can't recognize its value, there is one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Jiang Yunhe knows how rare such a night pearl is.

Emperor Rao is well-informed, and he also secretly amazed.

At this time, one of the people present was just cold-eyed, and that person was Ming Luo.

She was the only one who remained awake and not bewitched by the treasure.

The Queen Mother noticed her expression at this time and was a little surprised, so she asked:

Princess Duan seemed," not interested, she didn't say this, "Princess Duan thinks of this pearl?" ”

Ming Luo has no stage fright at all, although she is a person in the rivers and lakes, her demeanor is still satisfactory.

"The concubine thinks this pearl is very beautiful."

Ming Luo's answer was a little brief, and the Queen Mother asked:

"Is that all? The mourners thought that women liked shiny beads. ”

"The concubine really likes it, but no matter how beautiful this bead is, it is only for people to see, and it has no practical value."

Then she meant flashy.

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to wade into this troubled water, nor did she want to provoke a topic for herself, but Mingluo's attitude really made her unable to help it.

Such a heirloom treasure was said by her, as if it was not as good as a full steamed bun.

She couldn't bear it for a while, and the words came out of her mouth, "Even the most ordinary pearls need to be nourished day and night. ”

The prime minister's wife is a first-class wife of the imperial court, and this statement is naturally convincing.

In fact, just now, Jiang Yunhe almost wanted to refute the woman.

Mrs. Jiang's move is actually inappropriate, the princess at that end is a junior, and her status is noble, so she can be regarded as a confrontation.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was very satisfied with these contradictory words.

Finally there is a person who knows the goods, she also glanced at Jiang Yunhe with a piggyback, and saw that the longing expression on her face was undiminished, and she couldn't help but sigh, if she was really a girl who grew up in a rich family from a young age, she knew how precious this thing was.

She didn't realize that she had already compared Jiang Yunhe and Mingluo together in her heart.

Ming Luo didn't like to be wronged, so he naturally heard a little sarcasm in Mrs. Jiang's words.

Anyway, her status is not low now, and it is not bad to teach the really pedantic ancients a lesson.

Before she could speak, she was reminded by Fu Qianqian and signaled her to shut up.

Ming Luo smiled bitterly in his heart, this licking dog, licking the house and Wu, his goddess's mother also has to protect it.

She had no choice but to hold back her violent temper, and she didn't plan to pay attention to this Fu Qianqian.

She is now his princess, and the husband and wife should be fighting together, but he is good, he is everywhere to outsiders, and he is not afraid of losing his own people.

Fu Qianqian didn't mean this, he was not interested in Zhuyu either, but he would observe everyone's eyes, and see that his grandmother's obvious love for the treasure was overflowing.

He did this precisely to protect Ming Luo, who didn't have much time to enter the palace, and it was serious to leave a good impression on the people in the palace.

Especially in front of the emperor and the queen mother, you must look like a princess.
