Chapter 22: Purple Dragon Jade

Originally, Mrs. Mo liked Li Xuanye's child very much, but now she heard Li Xuanye call her mother-in-law, and promised not to take a concubine, and her heart was even more happy, but in front of so many people, Mrs. Mo still behaved very restrained, she smiled: "Good boy, I am relieved if you say this." I'm sure you'll be able to take good care of Zhi'er in the future. ”

Emperor Ming will also smile when he sees this, it seems that the third child has a lot of affection for Zhi'er's girl.

"Sister Mo, since everyone has no problem, I will first issue an order to marry these two children tomorrow, and then make a decree to recall General Ouyang from the border pass. Then the marriage date of these two children, I asked Shuntianguan in advance, and the head of the Immortal Dao said that the fifth day of the new month next month is a good day, or it will be set on the fifth day of the next month. It's only about ten days, enough to prepare for a wedding. Emperor Ming said to Mrs. Mo.

"Your Majesty can just make up your mind about these things, and we will fully cooperate with the Eastern Mansion. Mrs. Mo said with a smile.

"Alright, Huanyu, bring the things up. Emperor Ming responded to Mrs. Mo's words, turned his head and said to Li Huanyu.

Li Huanyu stepped forward, took out a delicate small box from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Ming, who in turn handed the small box to Mrs. Mo.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Mrs. Mo said in confusion as she took the small box.

Emperor Ming explained: "Since you and I have finalized the marriage of the two children here, as the husband's family, of course, I have to prepare some gifts for Zhi'er, this thing is carefully selected by me, and it will be handed over to Sister Mo first, and on the day when the two children officially get married, it can be worn by Zhi'er." ”

Mrs. Mo opened the small box suspiciously, only to see that there was a string of crystal clear purple jade bracelets in the box.

"Your Majesty, this is ...... Purple Dragon Jade?" Mrs. Mo vaguely guessed the origin of the bracelet when she saw it.

Emperor Ming smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable, this is the Purple Dragon Jade!" Mrs. Mo hurriedly closed the box, wanting to return this gift to Emperor Ming.

The reason why Mrs. Mo had such a big reaction was not because it was a gift from Emperor Ming, so she didn't dare to accept it. If Emperor Ming gave her another gift, she might not refuse...... But this bracelet given by Emperor Ming is a purple dragon jade!

Purple dragon jade can be said to be the most expensive jade material in the Yuan Kingdom, and it is strictly controlled by the royal family for export. So almost only people of the royal family can have it. And the reason why the purple dragon jade is so closely regarded by the royal family is because the purple dragon jade comes from the land of the Li family's dragon veins - Shuntian Mountain.

Legend has it that after Emperor Li Haoqing established the Yuan Kingdom at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he invited a half-immortal named Huazi with a profound Taoism to seal the dragon vein of the Li family in the Shuntian Mountain two miles outside Beijing, and the Emperor of the early Yuan Dynasty also helped the master of this Huazi half-immortal to build a Taoist temple on the Shuntian Mountain to assist the royal guard of the dragon vein, and the Taoist temple was later the Shuntian Temple.

Since the completion of the Shuntian Temple, a kind of purple jade has appeared on the Shuntian Mountain, and Huazi brought the purple jade into the palace to face the saint. Huazi told Emperor Yuan Chu that this purple jade is called Purple Dragon Jade, which is an immortal jade born from the dragon vein of the Li family. Emperor Yuan Chu was greatly shocked and immediately sent troops to garrison at the foot of Shuntian Mountain, so as not to mine purple dragon jade on the mountain with ill intentions. Emperor Yuan Chu handed over the mining of purple dragon jade to Shuntianguan, and since then, Shuntianguan will regularly submit purple dragon jade to the imperial court.

Over the years, although there has been a steady stream of purple dragon jade, most of it has been privately collected by the royal family, and almost none have flowed to the public. Some people have also paid attention to Shuntian Mountain, and they want to secretly go up the mountain and take a few pieces of purple dragon jade.

However, all the people who went up to the mountain to steal jade never appeared in the mortal world again, and all of them were left on Suncheon Mountain, not knowing life and death.

Suncheon Mountain has also become a forbidden place.

......

Over the years, there have not been many ornaments carved from purple dragon jade, and even the current royal family may only have about thirty pieces. It just so happened that the current Ming Emperor Li Linming didn't like that kind of mysterious thing very much. Therefore, the jewelry carved with purple dragon jade is nothing more than a gift for others in his eyes.

And the crown prince Li Huanyu is a person who does not pursue material life and is extremely free and easy. So the purple jade plate given to him by Emperor Ming was given to Sima Youran by him.

And although Sima Youran knew that the purple dragon jade plate was extremely precious, he didn't care much about the reasons, after all, the current emperor didn't care, and he wouldn't take this piece of jade to heart. So he gave this piece of jade to He Rong'er in a dashing manner.

He Rong'er didn't know that this jade plate was so big, but it was given to Sima Youran by a girl in the capital, so she directly wanted Sima Youran to ask for it, seeing that Hao Yue was interested in this jade plate, and gave the jade card to Hao Yue.

So...... This purple jade plaque is probably the only purple dragon jade that has flowed into the world.

......

Emperor Ming didn't care when he saw Mrs. Mo shirking, but pushed the small wooden box to Mrs. Mo's side again, and said, "Sister Mo, you listen to me first." Since this purple dragon jade is a private collection of the royal family, and after Zhi'er married the third child, she became the third princess of the current year, that is, my daughter-in-law. And you and General Ouyang have become my Li family's in-laws, and of course they are also royalty. So it makes sense to accept this bracelet now. So Sister Mo, you don't shirk anymore. ”

Listening to Emperor Ming's words, Mrs. Mo was also stunned. Indeed, Zhi'er will be the third princess in the future, and she can be regarded as a member of their Li family. Although receiving a string of purple dragon jade bracelets is a little more valuable, it is not considered to be a torture for me to plunder the East Mansion......

"That's okay, then I'll wait for Zhi'er to thank Your Majesty first. After Mrs. Mo thought it through, she didn't shirk anymore and accepted the small wooden box.

Seeing that Mrs. Mo had accepted the gift, and Emperor Ming was almost time to leave, he said, "Sister Mo, it's not too early for me to look at the hour, so I'll go back to the palace first." When General Ouyang returns, I will come to see you and the couple again. Then, Emperor Ming got up and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, everyone also got up one after another, and Mrs. Mo and Ouyang Zhi respectfully sent Emperor Ming and others out of the Plunder East Mansion.

Originally, Emperor Ming planned to let Li Xuanye take Ouyang Zhi for a stroll outside, but Li Xuanye politely refused Emperor Ming's request on the grounds that the affairs of Ruilin Palace had not been completed.

Li Huanyu laughed out loud again on the side - Emperor Ming was probably the most faceless emperor in history, and three of his four sons did not listen to him.

Emperor Ming glared at Li Huanyu fiercely, and knocked Li Huanyu on the head with the paper fan he carried with him.

The plainclothes guards behind him were also dumbfounded: Is our Royal Highness the Crown Prince so bold?

The three people walking on the road at this time were not the emperor, the crown prince, and the three princes of the dynasty in the eyes of passers-by at all - but a kind father and two disobedient sons......
