As soon as these words came out, a touch of incomprehension flashed in the man's eyes.

If it's ten percent, that's too small.

But he still turned his head and called Su Peisheng in.

After a while, Su Peisheng came in with a water-blue enamel jewelry box.

When he walked outside the screen, he handed the jewelry box to Banmei.

After Banmei took it, she walked into the screen and knelt beside the bed.

And open the jewelry box.

Suddenly, Ruoyin only felt that there was a thousand rays of light, shining at her, and she almost blinded her eyes.

A pair of eyes also reflexively closed when the box was opened.

When she opened her eyes again and looked cautiously at the jewelry box.

I found that there were all different styles of diamond rings.

There are round, pear-shaped, heart-shaped, crown-shaped, rectangular, square......

As for the size, there are quail eggs, pigeon eggs, and soybean sizes.

At a glance, it seems that soybeans are the smallest one.

In the end, she counted them, and there were about twenty in all.

Ruoyin raised her head and asked a little confused: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Since I just sent you to dislike it, let's pick one from here and put it on." His voice was faint, but it was overbearing.

It seems that no matter what, she has to pick one to put on today.

Ruoyin didn't know why he insisted so much.

But for the sake of his rare dedication, he carefully looked at the diamond ring in the jewelry box.

Ruoyin is not a high-profile person.

For jewelry, she has always asked for something that suits her, and then looks good.

Therefore, those quail eggs and pigeon eggs have been eliminated by her for the first time.

Her eyes are only choosing between those "soybeans".

After a while, she was slightly attached and took out a square diamond ring from the jewelry box.

The center diamond is about 2 carats, and there is no other decoration or fame around it.

The shank is made of white gold set with fine diamonds.

It looks simple and elegant.

In addition, she also tried it directly on the ring finger of her right hand.

Ruoyin put her right hand in the light and looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this princess is still good-looking, simple and atmospheric, just enough for me to be half a finger in size, which is very suitable for concubines." ”

At this moment, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Because she picked the right jewelry for herself.

This diamond ring is just the right size.

In the candlelight, it shines like transparent dew, emitting a pure glow.

However, the fourth master on the side didn't think so.

With a look of bewilderment, he looked at the ring on the woman's finger.

No matter which angle he looked at, he couldn't appreciate this so-called princess party.

To him, it's just a boxy stone.

It's not as good as that big, shiny and shiny heart-shaped diamond ring.

The fourth master, who has always been outspoken, couldn't help but say poisonously: "I have to say that the queen's vision and taste are really bad." ”

Hearing this, Ruoyin, who was immersed in joy, twitched the corners of her mouth slightly.

The heart said that you are a straight man of steel, what do you know?

She didn't say that he didn't understand women's tastes, but he was embarrassed to get angry.

Ruoyin rolled her eyes in her heart.

It's just that, for the sake of the jewelry he gave her, she won't be as knowledgeable as him.

She just raised her head and smiled at the man, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of sending a concubine?" ”

But when her words came out, the fourth master sat on the edge of the bed and didn't speak.

It's just a pair of eyes, and he glanced coldly at the slave in the room.

In the end, it was Su Peisheng who was eye-catching, and quickly took Banmei and the other minions out.

When only Ruoyin and the fourth master were left in the room, the man coughed lightly and said lightly: "I heard that this diamond, also known as diamond, is a kind of ore mined by foreigners, and they say that diamonds are the tears of the gods, and diamonds are listed as the sun among the planetary gems. Some people even say that diamonds are fragments of stars scattered on the ground, and they are an auspicious gemstone. ”

After a slight pause, the man continued, "They also say that women love diamonds, so I ordered someone to pick some good ones for you." ”

As for those references to children's affection, he omitted them all.

At this moment, Ruoyin couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard the words of the fourth master.

In this Qing Dynasty, no diamonds have been mined yet.

It's just that some foreigners, missionaries, brought diamonds to China to sell.

Because rare things are expensive, and diamonds are indeed more eye-catching than other jewelry.

Therefore, some princes and nobles use diamonds as a symbol of social status.

If a noble lady wears a piece of jewelry studded with diamonds, she is the envy of those around her.

Also, because diamonds are precious.

In this dynasty where men are inferior to women, basically women can't afford it by themselves and need men to give it away.

But because of the high price, many men can only give that one in their lifetime.

Even, if you spend a lifetime of your family property, you can't give away diamond jewelry.

That's why there are words such as "one will be passed on forever", "only one will be given in a lifetime", and so on.

But as soon as the fourth master gave it, it was a dozen.

This...... She didn't even know what to say.

"Your Majesty, let's do it, the concubines have already chosen this one in their hands, and let them return the rest, or receive it from the treasury."

"No, these were meant to be given to you together." The man said without hesitation.

"But the concubine only has one pair of hands, how can she wear so many?" Ruoyin said in distress.

"Don't you have ten fingers?"

Ruoyin: "......"

Isn't it possible to let her wear all ten fingers, that would be too ...... The trench is inhumane!

"It's really not good, you change it every day, anyway, what I gave you will never be taken back." The man was cold, and added at the end, "And this one in your hand, since you wear it, you are not allowed to take it off." ”

Ugly is ugly, since she likes it, then let her be.

Listening to the fourth master's domineering order, Ruoyin finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the fourth master to give gifts many years ago.

At that time, he carved a wooden comb for her, but she disliked it.

So, he threw it directly into the lake.

I really responded to his words: I will never take back what I gave you, but you can throw it away.

If she didn't accept the jewelry, I'm afraid he would really order someone to throw it all out, right?

"The concubine thanked the emperor first, but ......" Ruoyin looked at the quail egg that the fourth master gave her first, and said weakly: "This diamond ring is too valuable, and the concubine can't wear it, so it's better to return only this one, or store this one in the treasury." ”

She won't wear such a valuable thing, and putting it in Yongshou Palace is also the life of sucking ash.

"Queen, do you know, there was no concubine system in the Qing Dynasty, and later after the imperial examination established the concubine system, the harem concubines were divided into nine levels, of which the queen belonged to the non-grade, because the queen was super high-grade, unique, and there could only be one."

As he spoke, he looked at the heart-shaped diamond ring the size of a quail's egg, and said, "Coincidentally, there is only one such thing in the world." So, only you deserve it. ”
