Chapter Forty-Six: The Neck Is Too Sore!
Jiang Li once saw the empress of Rong Guo on the portrait, although her face was blurred, but the painter put the ruthlessness and determination in her eyes, as well as a kind of calm and fearless painting on the paper.
This is still her impression of Ning Hua when she was twelve years old, and in her heart, the empress of Rongguo is this Fengyi appearance.
If there is really a daughter of the Destiny Phoenix in the world, it must not be herself, but Ning Hua.
However, when I see it today, the high-spirited empress on this portrait no longer seems to be what she was back then. She gave birth to several children, and died and deposed several more, leaving only Ning Yi and her second brother Ning An at this time.
In comparison, Ning Yi's name is more like a man's name, while Ning An is more feminine.
Seeing me, he is not as weak and quiet as Jiang Li imagined, but seems to be flying freely, if you look at the environment of Chinese people in Nanli Country, I am afraid that he is also one of the best talents in Yangdu.
Ning Hua was dressed in an ordinary courtly uniform, and he did not deliberately dress up carefully, nor did he slack off in the slightest. When she saw Jiang Li, she was just polite, lazy and unwilling to talk more, and only let her eldest daughter Ning Yi entertain the distinguished guests.
However, Jiang Li always admired her and admired her, and she bowed extremely reverently and presented the tribute sent by Nan Li. There are dozens of ruby pigeon blood alone, as well as all kinds of cloud brocade. Among them, the flower white brocade is dyed only by the dye of the southern pear country, which is the most precious.
There are also all kinds of gemstones, green sapphire and blue treasures, as well as all kinds of colored silk made of gemstones, gold and silver tree bonsai. Before coming, Jiang Li didn't pay attention to what these tributes were, this was an errand of the Ministry of Rites, so she naturally didn't have to worry about it. Now it seems that they are all small, and some of them are even unreachable.
Last time, Ning Yituo's entourage gave her a box of diamonds, and this time she also brought a box of tourmaline beads the size of a dragon's eye as a gift, so she felt a little more standing.
"Do you want to stay in my palace with me?" Ning Yi led out of the main hall, she should have gone back to the post station to wash, and then prepared the dress of the dinner party, which was good, saving the effort of coming and going.
Her palace room is simple, and the place is very large, but it is not as splendid as the Huangli Palace, which can be regarded as elegant.
Jiang Li instructed Jiang Xue to take out a box of tourmaline and give it to her, but Ning Yi didn't shirk and accepted it happily. Tourmaline is a specialty of the South Pear Country, although other countries also have it, but the quality is still the best in Yangdu.
Although she is very arrogant, there is no shortage of things on the dressing table compared to ginger pear. The black lacquer painted gold peony pattern octagonal box contains a full string of shiny headdress beads, and she just asked Jiang Li to pick it up casually. Jiang Xue Rinshuang waited to take off Jiang Li's court clothes, and Ning Yi pointed to someone to put it away and hang it up for maintenance. The hairpin rings of the tree were also removed in pairs, the complex bun was scattered, and the green silk fell behind the waist, exuding the aroma of shavings water.
Jiang Li was not polite, and carefully looked at the jewelry in the box. If she didn't want to declare an army to seize the throne, she could skip the small grab clip such as the diamond that Ning Yi loved, and only picked two butterfly hairpins with gold and red diamonds and inserted them in the most conspicuous place to show that she would follow the local customs.
Looking at the fact that there were still many ruby blue and green treasure grippers in the box, I couldn't help but feel amazed in my heart. Ruby is the most precious gem in the South Pear Country, Ning Yi is just simple, almost uncarved, and it is too direct and extravagant to make it into a grab clip. And the gems in her box are of excellent quality, and even in the Huangli Palace, it is rare to see such treasures.
She looked at it twice, and was noticed by Ning Yi, she leaned over and explained: "When I visited the Tianji Palace in your Nanli Kingdom before, the national teacher Tuo Luwu sent me a small treasure chest, which was full of shiny and beautiful small stones, and it was all in the style of grasping clips. ”
She grabbed a handful of grab clips of different colors at random and gently spread them on the dressing table for Jiang Li to see: "You know, those hairpins are too annoying to shake Huasheng, I just like to grab clips." These little things are just what I want, and I thanked Lord Lu Wu and accepted them. But I really don't have any occasion to wear it, do you want it? I'll give it to you. ”
Ning Yi said innocently, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in Jiang Li's expression.
Lu Wu, Lu Wu, you really have a lot of time, and you are busy helping ginger pear make white ointment, and you have a clever mind, and you have figured out Ning Yi's mind.
Jiang Li naturally won't accept it, she smiled at Ning Yi, and explained casually: "I'm used to the rules, and I still like to shake and move, which is the most beautiful." ”
Ning Yi thought for a moment, beckoned and called the little palace maid to come and give two orders, and after a while, another round box with red pine, bamboo, plum, grass and insect patterns was presented, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a bright step of gold and silver.
Pointing to the treasure in this box with a smile, Jiang Li looked very satisfied: "Yes, it's just so valuable." ”
"Precious is precious, expensive is true, heavy is also true. If you have the ability, you can wear it all on your head, I can't stand this neck. Ning Yi jokingly pushed the box in front of Jiang Li, and waved his hand to beckon the two of them who were standing on the side, "Quickly comb your master's hair, and tell me that the whole box is plugged in." ”
Jiang Xue was childish, bowed and promised: "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to point out the two little palace maids to the slaves, within an hour, this box will definitely reach the head of my family." ”
Ning Yi couldn't help but chuckle: "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, your girl is really good at training, but she is much more clever and interesting than me here." If she stays in my Rong country, she will definitely be able to be a female official. Why don't you give her to me......"
Following her words, Jiang Li also replied with a smile: "That's good, it just so happens that she basically has all her belongings......"
I saw Jiang Xue plop down and kneel down and hug Jiang Li's calf: "Miss, spare me, the slave and maid won't go anywhere!" She shouted, already crying.
Jiang Li saw that she was serious, and hurriedly helped her up and comforted her: "Silly girl, this joke is still serious." She turned her head to Ning Yixian, who was leaning against the pepper wall on the side, and said, "This girl is loyal, she is only willing to follow me, what can you do here?" ”
"Oh, forget it, I'm really envious." After speaking, Ning Yi couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and Jiang Li also showed his teeth and laughed. These two women at the pinnacle of power, at this moment, are like ordinary two best friends at the door of ordinary people, closing the door and secretly joking.
However, this box of headdresses still has to be on Jiang Li's head. I don't know where she found so many kinds of treasures from, but I'm afraid that they were received and offered by various countries, or Ning Hua felt that her eldest daughter didn't pay attention to her appearance too much, so she added makeup for her.
On this set, Jiang Li only felt that she stood up, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she was like an old woman over eighty years old, who could only bend over and hunch her back to barely walk. In front of others, you must straighten your back, and at most a quarter of an hour, you have to use the excuse of changing clothes or sobering up to escape from the banquet hall and soothe your muscles and bones.
Jiangxue, Jiangxue, you are your own master!
