Chapter 162: The Great Harvest
When Princess Ruyi heard Mo Xiaoqi's promise, she immediately smiled and said, "Master Mo, thank you so much." I want you to help me every time. This princess will repay you. ”
Just wait! When you repaid him, Mo Xiaoqi thought wildly in his heart, and opened the jewelry box one by one.
The jade treasures inlaid on the jewelry inside are basically uncarved or rounded at will.
Under the jewelry, there are some gems that are directly played with, which are used for ornamentation, and there are no artificial traces at all.
This made her very satisfied, which is equivalent to harvesting a large number of rough gemstones!
She originally wanted to send people to southern Yunnan to mine jade, but now, there are a large number of them. The matter of jade mining can be put on hold for the time being.
When she was about to return to the auspicious annex, Princess Ruyi personally escorted her and a few treasure boxes out of the house.
Mo Xiaoqi was cheap and behaved, Princess Ruyi thanked him a lot, gave him jewelry, and brought a pot of pink coral by the way.
This is the first time, Mo Xiaoqi feels a bit of a landlord and old wealth.
The question, however, is how do you cut these unpolished gemstones and the jewelry that has already been made again?
There are no modern tools here, and she has also seen those tools of Zhang Dongdong's family, which are not strong and sharp enough.
So she can only find a way to solve this problem first, but just looking at those big boxes, she is already overjoyed.
The palace maid reminded Princess Ruyi and said, "Princess, the festival is almost over, we have to go back and pray for the emperor quickly." ”
Princess Ruyi remembered to get down to business, and hurriedly ran out with her skirt.
"Hey, really, a big catch." Mo Xiaoqi muttered to himself, and Zhou Die and Lang Wanwan both heard it.
"Childe, what's the big catch?" Zhou Die was also startled when he saw those big boxes, and looked at Mo Xiaoqi suspiciously.
"It's all from the princess." Mo Xiaoqi explained casually.
Lang Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw those gems, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, this princess is really ...... It's so rich. ”
She is just a concubine's daughter, naturally nothing good can be her turn, she can only desperately learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately, her temperament is too straight and she often suffers.
"Don't worry. You will be no worse than her in the future. Mo Xiaoqi promised Lang Wanwan again.
It was this promise that made Lang Wanwan believe in Mo Xiaoqi with all her heart.
She didn't understand why she believed her, but every time she saw her determined eyes, she felt that she wasn't lying to her.
"Miss Lang, Hongyi will bring the dance clothes tomorrow." Mo Xiaoqi pursed his lips and smiled, "Well, you must behave well at that time." ”
Zhou Die was thoughtful, hating Mo Xiaoqi for finding a way out for Lang Wanwan, but he didn't think about her for half a point.
What's so good about a reckless concubine's daughter? Zhou Die has been resentful for a long time, if it weren't for Concubine Liang not allowing her to destroy it at this moment, she would have to let this Lang Wanwan never live again.
As for Mo Xiaoqi, she felt in her heart that this person was really smart, but he was also really stupid.
It is ridiculous that he dared to enter the palace to organize the queen's birthday banquet. At that time, everyone will know that he is King Xuan's male favorite, which will not benefit him at all.
"Childe, didn't the prince take you to the festival? How did you suddenly come back with jewelry? Zhou Die asked casually.
The reason why she was so casual was because she found that Mo Xiaoqi didn't care about any rules and etiquette, and asked her not to care about those red tape many times.
Mo Xiaoqi waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to see at that festival, I was bored so I came back, and I met the princess halfway." ”
The festival is the grandest and most solemn ceremony in Hongguo, and everyone wants to be able to participate.
Being able to participate is a matter of glory to the ancestors.
Mo Xiaoqi was bored? Zhou Die felt ridiculous, but she still said, "That's the case." ”
"Hmm." Mo Xiaoqi answered, but it was just a bunch of dancing gods, of course she was bored.
The problem is, she's staying at the festival and she's a ticking time bomb!
After a while, a little eunuch came and said that King Xuan had invited her over.
Mo Xiaoqi followed the eunuch in the direction of the festival, but suddenly limped when he approached the square.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, aren't we going to the festival?" She was puzzled, this path had gone astray.
The little eunuch didn't look back and said, "That's the avenue taken by dignitaries, we have to take the trail." ”
Mo Xiaoqi felt that he was reasonable, but ...... I always felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, when I raised my eyes, I saw a person standing in the pavilion in front of me, and the back figure was also a eunuch.
"Father-in-law An, people, and slaves have been brought." After the little eunuch said this, he stood aside with his hands down.
"Father-in-law An?" Mo Xiaoqi frowned, this person is definitely not An Yize, that ......
Peaceful?
Mo Xiaoqi frowned, the man turned around, and sure enough, he was safe.
"Hmph, it's been a long time, haven't you seen you? Boss Mo. An Zhiran cocked his orchid fingers, snorted lightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what Gonggong An wants to do when he comes to me in the name of King Xuan?" Mo Xiaoqi beat the drum in her heart, although she knew that An Zhiran was bent on getting the "Continuation Strategy", but she was not sure whether An Zhiran would directly attack or use stratagem.
An Zhiran stroked his carefully trimmed eyebrows with his hand, and whispered: "It's really thanks to Boss Mo's help that I was able to clean up my group of waste subordinates." It really helped me a lot. ”
At the end of the words, it was almost a gritted tooth.
"Grandpa An, why do you say that? I've never harmed your little eunuchs. Mo Xiaoqi looked surprised, she wouldn't be stupid enough to admit that she got the "Continuation Strategy" at the beginning.
An Zhiran sneered, and cursed Mo Xiaoqi thousands of times in his heart.
"Boss Mo, let's not talk about that incident first, let's talk about it first, why did you appear here dressed as a man?" An Zhiran said this, which was a bit threatening.
Mo Xiaoqi disguised herself as a man and mixed in this palace, which can already be regarded as a crime of bullying the king.
"Grandpa An laughed, I never said I was a man, and besides, what I wore was not a man's clothes." Mo Xiaoqi looked down at his clothes, they were just neutral, and his hair was simply tied up.
"My father-in-law really didn't expect that we would have the fate to meet again, come and come, sit down and talk." An Zhiran sat on the stone bench, his brows furrowed, obviously the stone bench was too cold and froze his buttocks.
Mo Xiaoqi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "No, Grandpa An, I'll still stand and talk." ”
She didn't want to freeze her ass, and besides, she wasn't going to stay long.
"Well, Boss Mo is casual." An Zhiran sneered, and suddenly thought of something, "Should you be the blue-faced confidant of King Xuan in the rumor, right?" ”
