Guan Xinyue smiled modestly on her face, but she said, "The queen is right." ”

Qi Huilan couldn't see that Guan Xinyue was guarding her cubs tightly, she glanced at Guan Xinyue with some amusement.

Zhao Guifei on the side sneered lightly, glaring at the back of Li Yao's head, her eyes full of malicious calculations.

It just so happened that at this time, Qi Huilan's eyes glanced at Zhao Guifei again, and Zhao Guifei hurriedly withdrew the calculation in her eyes, and looked away as if she had nothing to do.

Qi Huilan bent her lips slightly, and then beckoned Guan Xinyue and Concubine Xian and others to sit down first, and then beckoned to a female official on the side, the female official nodded clearly, and took a delicate small wooden box from the hand of a palace maid on standby, and then handed it to the queen.

Qi Huilan stretched out her hand to take the small wooden box handed over by the female officer, then opened it, and handed it to Li Yao, and said, "Yao'er, this is a gift from this palace for you, see if you like it?" ”

Li Yao didn't need Qi Huilan to say anything at this time, her eyes were already round, and her eyes were all attracted by the contents of the box.

In the small wooden box was an old white pearl, the diameter of which looked like about two and a half centimeters, it looked round and flawless, and the bead also exuded a faint halo, which was very beautiful.

You must know that pearls are treasured with large and round flawlessness, and there are no bigger pearls in the world than this, but such a large, round and flawless, and unvariated natural pearl is very afraid that it is difficult to find in the century, such a pearl, even if it is placed in Li Yao's previous life, it can become a rare treasure.

Li Yao, who had never seen such a treasure, was almost blinded by this pearl.

Zhao Guifei saw clearly the gift that the queen had prepared for Li Yao, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then said unwillingly: "This is not the tribute sent by the South China Sea this year?" It took many years to find such a big pearl, but I didn't expect His Majesty to give it to the queen? ”

Zhao Guifei has been in the palace for so many years, and has been favored by the emperor, but she has never gotten such precious jewelry, this summer, this rare South China Sea precious was sent to the palace, no one in the palace has ever seen such a big and dazzling pearl, Zhao Guifei was also rare for a while, but also knew that the emperor would not give her such treasures, but I didn't expect to see it for many days, this pearl actually came to the hands of the queen?

That's it, what she couldn't ask for was given to others by the queen without any care, which made Zhao Guifei see the gap between her and the queen, and she was naturally very unwilling in her heart.

Everyone in the hall, except for the fourth prince Xia Chen, was also very surprised on their faces, as if they didn't expect the queen to take such a fancy to Li Yao and give Li Yao such rare treasures.

Among them, the eldest prince Xia Chenrui's face was the most ugly, he only picked a half-sized pearl the day before yesterday and gave it to Li Yao, and he felt that it was enough to make Li Yao, an ignorant village girl, happy, who knew that the queen turned her head and gave Li Yao such a big pearl, he was a little suspicious, whether the queen was deliberately against him.

Guan Xinyue was also a little surprised, she didn't expect the queen to give her daughter such a valuable gift, this South China Sea pearl is not only priceless, but also a symbol of power, after all, only the emperor is eligible to enjoy such a treasure, if it is changed to troubled times, it is not an exaggeration to say that such a treasure can cause competition among countries.

Thinking like this, Guan Xinyue blinked, then stood up with some trepidation, and said to Qi Huilan: "Queen, no, how can Yao'er stand such treasures?" The queen was also asked to take back the reward. ”
