"Yesterday, my slave heard from Prince Qi that two hundred and forty thousand taels of silver was still a small amount of money. He must be a wealthy benefactor. With Prince Qi's power and wealth, how could he care about the price of the Night Pearl?" Jade continued.
"Such a precious luminous pearl was given to me as a birthday gift. It's really hard for him." Wei Xuemei looked at the pearl carefully and was reluctant to touch it.
Jade pointed to another box on the table and said to Feng Jingyun, "Miss, yesterday Yuanzi, the attendant of King Qi, said that the Night Pearl was for Madam. The earrings in the other box were for you, Miss. Yuanzi
He also said that the original stone of the earrings is made of sapphire, with bright color, flawless transparency, fine workmanship, and extremely rare. It was specially made for you by Prince Qi. What is even more valuable is that Prince Qi personally participated in the craftsmanship of the earrings inlay.
"
As he spoke, he opened the box. Inside, a pair of exquisite pendant-style sapphire earrings reflected each other and sparkled in the sunlight coming in from outside.
"Wow... so beautiful!" Jade, Wei Xuemei and Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but admire it.
It is indeed beautiful. Feng Jingyun took a look and liked it very much, "Xiao Shunzi, return the earrings to King Qi."
"Miss..." Xiao Shunzi shook his head, "Prince Qi's thoughts. Looking at the style and material of the earrings, even a layman can see their value. Please accept it."
"Yes, they will look great on you. It would be a pity to send such beautiful earrings back." Jade also had a look of reluctance on her face.
"Because of this, I can't accept it. What does accepting it mean? Accepting Jun Youqi's wishes?" She said with a calm expression, "What he wants is not what I want."
Wei Xuemei disagreed, "Yun'er, mother feels that Prince Qi is sincere to you. He is handsome and the tenth son of the emperor. His character, appearance, talent and learning are all first-class. You might as well try to be nice to Prince Qi."
"I'm good enough for him."
Jade said honestly, "I didn't notice it."
"He bothered me so much that if it had been anyone else, I would have killed him long ago."
Three pairs of eyes stared at her beautiful face. She didn't look like she was joking. Wei Xuemei coughed lightly and said, "Yun'er, you have changed so much. You were never like this before..."
"Mom, do you want me to go back to how I was before?"
"Of course not. It's better now." Wei Xuemei waved her hands and thought for a while, "That's fine. A luminous pearl is too precious, and a pair of rare earrings is too precious. Even if my mother thinks that King Qi is a good son-in-law, Yun'er
If you don't like it, don't force it." He sighed slightly, his eyes a bit shaken, "A melon that is forced is not sweet, my mother has learned this truth through practice."
"Send the earrings back, little one." Xiao Shunzi put away the sandalwood box containing the earrings and walked outside.
While helping Feng Jingyun fill the meal, Jade asked, "Miss, I heard from Xiao Shunzi that you used a treasure in exchange for the Yupinzhai banquet money. What kind of treasure is it?"
"Yes, mother also wants to know what is so valuable." Wei Xuemei also looked curious.
"It's just a pill." She said calmly.
"What kind of medicine is so expensive that it can be sold for 240,000 taels?" Jade's eyes widened, "Miss, do you want to sell him a few more pills?"
"If you sell too much, the price will go down." Feng Jingyun took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Jade and said calmly, "The boss behind Yupinzhai is King Qi. The emperor is terminally ill, and my medicine can temporarily stabilize the emperor's condition."
