Mu Jieyu's eyes fell on the jewelry box that Bai Wei handed over. There lay quietly a gold hollowed-out nine-feather flying phoenix hairpin. The workmanship of the hairpin was absolutely exquisite, and the golden phoenix looked real and stretched under the candlelight. The nine phoenix tails are also vivid, and the blood rubies sprinkled on the phoenix tails shine brightly, making this phoenix even more majestic, graceful and noble as if it was born of blood.
"Mother Shen, what's wrong with this phoenix hairpin?" Mu Jieyu's heart suddenly trembled, but she really didn't know what was wrong with it.
Because as far as she knows, although the phoenix is a thing that can only be worn by the empress of the palace, it is very common to be made into a headdress. It is sold in many silver shops. Even the phoenix crowns worn by many men and women at their weddings are also real phoenix crowns. They are not like dragon patterns. , whether it is on clothes or headgear, only emperors can wear it.
"Back to the princess, this nine-feathered phoenix hairpin can only be worn by the queen." Nanny Shen replied immediately, biting the nine-feathered hairpin.
Mu Jieyu's eyes suddenly focused, and she carefully recalled that the phoenix hairpin or phoenix crown she thought she had seen was not Jiuling, but she had never paid much attention to these things, and there was no phoenix hairpin as exquisite in workmanship as this one. A stunning hairpin appeared, so she didn't even think about it.
If there was no Aunt Shen today, if she had chosen this hairpin and brought it to the palace to meet the Queen, then the consequences...even if Prince Jing supported her, it would not be enough. Then some punishment would be imposed. It is inevitable, otherwise where is the majesty of the royal family? Perhaps this will be used to accuse her of trying to seduce the Holy Lord and replace him in the palace, which is not something that her red lips and white teeth can defend.
In the deep palace, murderous intentions are indeed everywhere. Sometimes just an object, a piece of silk, or even a fallen leaf can kill someone without causing any blood.
It seems that she really should learn the royal etiquette and system.
"Mammy has made your choice, let's take the lead for this palace." Mu Jieyu lowered his eyes slightly to hide the surging haze in his eyes, took the box from Bai Wei's hand, put it in front of the mirror, and waited until Grandma Shen took it with her When several palace maids came forward and personally took out the headdress from the jewelry box and put it on Mu Jieyu, Mu Jieyu said again, "Mom will tell me about the taboos about Feng Chai in this palace again."
"Yes, Princess." Nanny Shen said carefully while explaining the words to Mu, "Most of the phoenix hairpins used by the people have three feathers, and when they are married, the phoenix crown can have six feathers. In addition, the phoenix crown can have five feathers. All the above are palace-based. The master and princess of the concubine can wear five feathers, the concubine and the prince can wear six feathers, the prince concubine can wear seven feathers, the imperial concubine can wear eight feathers, and only the queen of the palace can wear nine feathers. …”
Aunt Shen spoke in great detail, and Mu Jieyu listened attentively. By the time Nanny Shen finished speaking, almost all the jewelry was finished, except for the last crown. Mu Jieyu watched as Nanny Shen held up the jewelry with both hands. A gorgeous gilded flying gold bird held a beaded crown in its mouth and raised its hand to stop Grandma Shen's movement.
"According to Mammy, only the palace can make nine-feathered phoenix hairpins, and each one will be recorded in a book?" Mu Jieyu asked casually as he fiddled with the white glass beads on his bright wrist with his jade fingers.
Although Aunt Shen was confused as to why Mu Jieyu suddenly stopped her, she did not ask any more questions, but answered calmly: "Yes, Princess. The Nine-feathered Phoenix Hairpin is a forbidden thing, and the slave has been in the palace for many years. The craftsmanship of Zhenge is still recognizable, and this item undoubtedly came from the palace."
