The morning light of the next day enveloped the earth. Qingcheng got up early and opened the door before the maids knocked on the door.
She had already put on her clothes and even tied her hair into a bun by herself today. Her simple outfit and jewelry made her extraordinarily beautiful.
"Your Majesty, this is the golden elixir sent by the prince!"
After Qingcheng freshened up, a maid came to the door, holding in her hand the bottle of medicinal powder that Murong Jue failed to give her last night.
When Qingcheng heard what she said, her eyes fell on the medicine bottle, feeling a little uneasy in her heart!
Would he be so kind as to give her medicine?
Qingcheng thought to herself, but she still responded: "Let it go!"
"Yes!" The little maid nodded, respectfully put down her things and exited the room.
Qingcheng picked up the medicine bottle and examined it in her hand. She opened the medicine bottle and smelled the medicine. The medicine inside was indeed for treating cuts.
Now, she was a little confused about Murong Jue's intention. If he wanted to torture her, why would he pretend to give her medicine?
Qingcheng was puzzled and did not accept his kindness in applying medicine. She placed the medicine bottle in the cabinet and left the room.
The sky was very nice today, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant and the sun shining brightly. However, in her eyes, everything she saw was gray and without bright colors.
She had vision problems and had been doing so ever since she was stimulated on her wedding night.
Qingcheng knew that this was caused by a heart disease. Ordinary drugs could not cure her eyes at all, and she had no intention of curing herself.
This morning, she gathered all her emotions and went to the palace's warehouse. Seeing that the day of the 'Four Palaces Presentation' was imminent, Murong Jue once again entrusted her with the important matter of selecting gifts. If this matter was not handled well, the man would surely do it again.
Find her numb!
Qingcheng didn't want the people around her to be implicated because of her anymore, so she took the matter seriously!
"Good luck, Princess!" When the servants in the warehouse saw Qingcheng coming, they all put down their living bows and saluted.
"Get up!" Qingcheng said calmly and walked inside, where all the treasures of the palace were placed in order.
Manager Li stood aside with an account book in hand, recording every treasure.
"Princess Princess, what do you think of this?" Manager Li is a celebrity in the palace and an 'old man', but since the death of Aunt Cui, he has not dared to be too presumptuous. After all, Murong Jue's temperament is difficult to guess.
If you are not careful, you will follow in the footsteps of Grandma Cui. At that time, even if you die, there will be no grave to rest in.
"Although the flamingoes from the Water Country are of the highest quality, it is not surprising that only nobles from the Water Country can get this thing!" Qingcheng said, she felt it was inappropriate for this thing to be used as a 'donation to the Fourth Palace'.
"That's what your Majesty said!" Manager Li nodded flatteringly. He just wanted to show off in front of Qingcheng, but Qingcheng had a unique vision and knew a thing or two about treasures from various countries!
"Mr. Li, is there any treasure that Your Majesty likes very much?" Qingcheng looked through all the treasures inside, and after still not selecting a treasure that he was satisfied with, he asked the experienced Mr. Li.
"Returning to your Majesty, the West Prince's Mansion recently sent an anaconda scimitar, and the prince likes it very much!" Manager Li said as if taking credit for it.
"Show it to me!" Qingcheng said, a glazed look flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, yes!" Manager Li replied and hurriedly went to get the anaconda scimitar that had not been placed on the shelf.
It didn't take long for Manager Li to arrive in front of Qingcheng holding an anaconda scimitar.
"Please take a look at it!"
Qingcheng took the scimitar and looked at it carefully. When he pulled out the scabbard, he saw the blade flashing with golden light, and its light was extremely dazzling!
Because the blade of this scimitar is made of pure gold and is extremely heavy, it also made Qingcheng momentarily unstable when she took it. However, this is not the preciousness of this sword.
What’s special about this scimitar is that the scabbard is made of black stone and polished into iron. Every gem inlaid on the scabbard is made of Yuezhe colored stone from the bottom of the East Lake!
"Take off the seven moon-colored stones above!" After Qingcheng took a look at it, she said to Manager Li who had been waiting for her instructions.
"Take it off?" Manager Li was immediately confused. If the gem was taken off, it would destroy the design and beauty of the entire blade!
"Well, I only want the seven moonstones on this scabbard. In addition, you can choose a few of the best purple jade stones in the house and send them to my room!" Qingcheng said slowly, paying attention after settling down.
Manager Li left the warehouse without waiting for any further questions.
"Wang...Princess..." Mr. Li still has a problem. You must know that this knife is what Murong Jue likes. Now he is asked to take off the colored stone. If the improper handling of this matter offends the prince, then what will happen to him then?
Isn’t it worse than Aunt Cui’s death?
The more Manager Li thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he didn't have the courage. He thought that he should report this to Murong Jue in advance. As long as he nodded, it would be none of his business to investigate.
This person also knows how to leave a way out for himself, without offending Qingcheng and without making Murong Jue angry. He is a smart person!
Manager Li had already come to the study and explained everything to Murong Jue about what had just happened. Now he was waiting for this man's order.
"Since the princess likes it, just do as she is told!" Murong Jue just said after hearing this. It seems that in the eyes of others, the treasure he likes is far less important than his princess's love.
"Yes, I'll do it right now!" Manager Li was even more confused at this moment. Now he really didn't understand whether Qingcheng was favored or not!
"Wait a minute, give this purple jade stone to the princess!" Murong Jue called to Manager Li who was about to leave, and took out a gloomy purple jade stone from the drawer on the left and gave it to him.
"Yes!" Manager Li took it with both hands and left without any further delay.
After Manager Li left, Murong Jue leaned on the chair, and there seemed to be a smile in his starry eyes, which was so faint that it was hard to see clearly!
On the other side, Qingcheng had already received seven Yue Zhe colored stones from Manager Li, and an additional dull purple jade stone from Murong Jue.
Qingcheng held the purple jade stone and seemed to understand what Murong Jue meant!
She also smiled and started to make the other gems herself...
Seeing that the day of the Fourth Palace Contribution is approaching, all the prefectures and regions are trying their best to be the best at that night's banquet!
In the General's Mansion, Yun Mo has woken up, but his will is even more depressed than in the past few days.
"Yunmo, eat something!" Madam Ye has been sitting here for two hours. He has not eaten and eaten since he woke up yesterday, as if he deliberately wants to understand his own life in this way!
