Chapter 468, Pearl Shawl
Nong Yun held a huge square gold ruyi brocade box and presented it to Yao Jiaxin, and slowly opened the box.
The gold and satin interlining cloth makes the brilliance of the pearl more dazzling, the pearl is round, the grain is as big as a bird's egg, and the edge is also decorated with a circle of inlaid jade threads, the pearl and jade complement each other, and the luxury is staggering.
This is a shawl made of more than 2,000 pearls!
Yao Jiaxin carefully took it out, and felt extremely heavy when she carried it with both hands. - Even though she was accustomed to seeing wealth and luxury, she couldn't help but be stunned by this pearl shawl.
The Wulanala family Cheng'en Mansion is too generous!
The value of this pearl shawl is absolutely priceless!
Yao Jiaxin also understands the intentions of the Wulanala family, and the filial piety of the queen has a lot of grudges with her, although Wuge has been assigned by Gejue, but now Chengengong is still very frightened - especially after she made the imperial concubine, the Wulanala family is afraid of being involved, so they have to be so hemorrhagic to resolve the old grudge.
Nong Yun smiled brightly, "This Ulanala family is quite sensible. The minion carefully checked, none of the pearls on the top were flawed, and the size of this pearl shawl should also be made according to your size, and the minion is waiting for you to put it on and try it. β
Yao Jiaxin nodded, Shi Shiran got up and walked to the huge dressing mirror, although the glass mirror of this era cannot be compared with the clarity of later generations, but it also kills the bronze mirror in seconds, and is amazed that it is "delicate".
But for Yao Jiaxin, it will be used~
Nong Yun and Yulu carefully unfolded the pearl shawl and draped it on Yao Jiaxin's shoulders, the length of the pearl shawl could hang down to the chest, much larger than the shoulders of the four Ruyi clouds.
This heavy resting on her body, Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but twist her shoulders, feeling uncomfortable.
Yulu's face was full of exclamation, "This pearl shawl is so beautiful, it is very flattering to the mother's bearing!" β
The corners of Yao Jiaxin's mouth twitched, and she sat on the chair in front of the dresser, her body naturally leaned on the back of the chair, but she was very uncomfortable by this pearl shawl!
She frowned, this thing is really zero comfortable to wear, except for being able to pretend to be forced, she can't think of a use for wool!
If you say it's good-looking...... Well...... It's not bad up close, but from a distanceβthis pearl shawl looks like a fishing net......
Yao Jiaxin had a black line, she stood up and immediately ordered: "Help Bengong take it off." β
The two palace maids answered "yes", and hurriedly unfastened the red gold moire button on their chests, and the action was only cautious, and they simply regarded the pearl shawl as a fragile item.
Nong Yun smiled and said, "Tomorrow the concubine will come to ask for peace, do you want to wear this shawl?" β
Yao Jiaxin shook her head without hesitation, "Forget it!" "I don't even dare to lean back on my chair when I wear this thing! She didn't want to feel bad about herself just to pretend to be forced! How worthless!
Yao Jiaxin doesn't want to show off, but some people are envious and jealous.
Early in the morning of the next day, Yao Jiaxin put on auspicious clothes as usual to meet the concubine, and as soon as Concubine Qi sat down, she said sourly: "The concubine heard that the Chengen Mansion of the Wulanala family presented a luxurious pearl shawl to the imperial concubine, can the imperial concubine open her eyes?" β
Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows, "That shawl has been asked to be taken and modified." β
Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "In order to make this pearl shawl, the Wulanala family has been collecting high-grade pearls for a long time, so it stands to reason that there should be no flaws, right?" β
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "There is no flaw, but since the thing is dedicated to the palace, the palace wants to modify it, isn't it okay?!" β
Hearing the imperial concubine's tone, she was a little displeased, and Concubine Qi sneered: "Since it is the imperial concubine's thing, even if you dismantle it and give it to the eighth and ninth elder brothers to play with marbles, who dares to say anything?" β
Yao Jiaxin was speechless, the old lady is not so loser, is she?!
Concubine Mao sneered disdainfully, "Sister Concubine Qi doesn't want to think about it, such a luxurious thing as a pearl shawl is naturally only worthy of being enjoyed by the imperial concubine, and you are old, it is time to collect your sourness!" β
Concubine Qi was so angry by Concubine Mao's unceremonious ridicule that her eyes were on fire, "Don't pretend!" There is such a thing as a pearl shawl, don't you envy it at all, Concubine Mao?! β
Concubine Mao raised her chin and said: "Envy is naturally there, but this palace knows that it has a few catties and a few taels, and it knows that it is old and decrepit, and it is not worthy of such a gorgeous and luxurious thing as a pearl shawl." And Sister Concubine Qi, doesn't she know what her identity and appearance she is?! β
Concubine Qi was so angry that her old face turned black, and she slapped the case, "Concubine Mao!" "-Concubine Mao, an old slut, loves to fight against this palace! Sooner or later, one day, this palace is going to tear her stinky mouth!
Concubine Mao snorted proudly: "Before the imperial concubine Niangniang drove, Concubine Qi's sister couldn't do it like this." β
Yao Jiaxin rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, "Okay, let's say a few words!" "-These two stupid concubines will be uncomfortable if they don't tear up for a day.
Concubine Qi gritted her teeth and sat back in her chair, her old face stretched longer than a donkey's face.
Seeing this, Concubine Yu smiled and said: "This Wulanala family can be regarded as having a heart, but the imperial concubine has never liked luxury, and the concubines are afraid that they will not know when and how they will see you wearing this pearl shawl." β
Yao Jiaxin smiled, "This shawl is indeed too extravagant. "βand it's not good-looking, it's so special, it's very funny!
Concubine Yu's eyes suddenly darkened, "Speaking of which, this Jia promised the newcomer to be favored, but he rarely appeared in front of people." The last time the concubine saw her was on the Midyear Festival. β
Concubine Yu's mention of the Jia clan, everyone present, whether young or old, had a sour face, and the vinegar spread in the hall.
Yun Guiren in Concubine Yu's palace said sourly: "The concubine has been in the name of Concubine Yu's mother, and has visited Jia Promise several times, and Jia Promise is quite polite, but she has never visited Yingshui Lanxiang to visit the concubine. β
Concubine Mao couldn't help but snort: "But isn't it! Since the Jia family moved into Guanlan Hall, he went to the concubine to ask for peace once. β
Concubine Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "This Jia promise is quite shelf-like." β
Yao Jiaxin smiled and said: "Jia promised to be just demure and quiet, and he didn't like to visit the door." She was not rude, before falling into the water, the palace rewarded her with satin clothes, and within a few days she came to the palace in new clothes to thank her. β
This Jia promised to make this "fake promise", and it is strange that he has endured so much jealousy that he should not have suffered. Yao Jiaxin didn't mind protecting one or two a little.
Concubine Qi said hatefully: "It seems that this Jia promised to only put you in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and the concubines are old and decrepit, and they are no longer the same thing!" β
Concubine Qi's words suddenly aroused the sour fire of everyone present, and their faces were a little unpleasant.
Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Qi, the Jia family is just a promise, how dare you not take the high-ranking concubine seriously?" Don't be jealous for a while, follow in the footsteps of high promises! β
Yao Jiaxin's words were not so much to warn Concubine Qi as to warn everyone present.
For a while, everyone was silent, this Jia clan shrank in Guanlan Hall like a turtle, even if they wanted to find fault, they had no chance. Those nobles below are often agreeing, and they don't dare to act rashly.
In the silence of everyone, the eunuch Wang Yicheng quickly approached and said, "The emperor's master, something is wrong!" Jia promised to accidentally fall down and crush the queen mother's little peony! β
