Chapter 178: Shoes are not something you can have if you want to
This gift is indeed a good one. In an ordinary person's house, it would appear to be filial and ingenious. But in this royal family, what is the gift that is not gold, silver, jade, coral and jade screens, and gold and ingenious gadgets that have been carefully thought out?
Give me a pair of shoes and socks.
"What's the matter? Isn't it right? I've asked people from high-ranking officials to common people. This is how the new daughter-in-law gives gifts. Could it be that... I did something wrong?" Luo Jingyao's eyes turned red and she was submissive.
King An clenched his fists. He wanted to laugh. He hadn't laughed for a long time. He wanted to defend himself, but he was afraid that he would become a weak point and hold people captive in the imperial city. Forget it, hold it back.
"Sister-in-law, what did you give me as a gift? If I had known earlier, I would have gone to ask you for advice." Luo Jingyao looked at Ouyang Belle, who had remained silent from beginning to end.
"This..." Ouyang Baili's claws were numb. What should she say? The key point is that these nine siblings are going to cry. If she said it, would she cry on the spot?
"Forget it, I understand, I don't want to embarrass the emperor's sister-in-law." Luo Jingyao said in despair.
It can be said that one person performs most of the scenes.
Ouyang Belle looked at the queen.
The queen was a little disappointed. If she had known she would not ask to marry her niece, she is just a person who can't stand up to the wall. She only cares about reciting poems, illustrating and making tea. She is too noble and scornful of power and status, but she doesn't want to think about it.
In Taifu's Mansion, without her as a queen, how could she marry into the royal family and marry her son.
After seeing the look in the queen's eyes, Bizhu stepped forward and said awkwardly: "Princess An, I'm afraid this thing..." But before she could finish her words, when she saw the thing inside, she suddenly closed her mouth and took a look at it calmly.
Queen.
Now the queen and the imperial concubine were somewhat interested. After all, Bizhu had winked, and they wanted to see what Luo Jingyao had in mind.
"What do you think, Miss Bizhu?" Luo Jingyao seemed not to understand the looks in their eyes.
"Princess, please wait a moment and let the empress take a look first. After all, they are shoes and socks. If the size is wrong, I am afraid that the princess's filial piety will be in vain." Bizhu said lukewarmly.
Luo Jingyao glanced at Bizhu, but she felt doubtful in her heart.
She didn't offend this person, right?
"No matter whether the size is correct or not, it cannot be said that Princess An will have wasted her filial piety. As long as she does it, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is the child's intention after all. How can it be wasted? This is wrong, you
Are you saying that, Queen?" The imperial concubine's eyes were sarcastic.
"My dear concubine, that's not what I mean. I'm clumsy and can't explain it clearly. What I mean is that I'm afraid that Princess An will waste her efforts. After all, to make so many pairs of shoes and socks, the princess must have spent a lot of effort and energy.
." Bizhu knelt down quickly and said with sincerity, then turned to face Luo Jingyao: "Princess, Princess, I really don't have this intention, I hope Princess will see clearly."
"Okay, get up, why are you making so much noise on this big day? Why don't you go down and see if the bird's nest pot is ready? Bring it up quickly and let Princess An have a taste. If you like it, I still have a few here.
Please patch up Princess An, she's so weak." The queen suppressed her anger and said.
"Yes, yes, slave girl, go now." Bizhu withdrew with a pale face, knowing that she would not be able to get what she wanted.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the imperial concubine's eyes.
The queen has such a quick mind.
Luo Jingyao looked confused: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, Queen Mother is so kind."
"Thank you no matter what, we are all a family. You young people should take more supplements, which is good for your health. But what I am most interested in now is your gift. Why don't you present it quickly so that we can feast our eyes on it? I believe you girl
The gift is definitely not bad." The Queen looked impatient.
"Then Queen Mother, don't be dissatisfied." Luo Jingyao said and handed the embroidered shoes in her hand to Qingyan and asked her to present them to the queen. The other pair was also given to the eldest maid serving beside the imperial concubine.
Two pairs of gold-embroidered shoes, one pair golden and red, were presented to the queen. A circle of round pearls were dotted on the tail feathers of the phoenix. A huge east pearl hung on the toe, as if it was held in the mouth of the phoenix. It was exquisite.
The patterns are lifelike.
A pair of silver-red flowers were handed to the imperial concubine. The blooming peonies were embroidered with gold and silver threads. The layered petals were filled with powdered tones of pearls, shells, opals, various gemstones, etc., and were embroidered with the finest treasures.
Cheng. Standing delicately in the wind, the posture is changeable, it seems gorgeous, it seems elegant, it seems charming, it seems pure, sometimes it is shy, it is as soft as silk. Sometimes it stands proudly, with gorgeous colors. It seems that it can smell the faint fragrance.
The two of them held it in their hands and couldn't put it down. Kesi was only the material used for the emperor's dragon robes. Although the queen could use it, the output was low and it was very expensive. Generally, it was not available.
The favored imperial concubine only had a small handkerchief, which was a gift from the emperor. But today was different. Luo Jingyao gave her a pair of shoes directly. Although the material was not too much, it was not too little.
Not to mention this exquisite and luxurious shoe upper.
The two of them nodded secretly with satisfaction.
He also gave socks to the concubines below, and gifted jade pendants to the eldest prince and eldest princess. He also left a tapestry handkerchief for the eldest prince and concubine, and a wolf hair for each of the second prince and others.
After delivering the gift, Luo Jingyao winked at King An, saying that she was here to receive the gift today.
The gifts for the old emperor and the queen mother should also be delivered now.
Yes, Luo Jingyao was right, she had indeed arrived.
The gift given to the emperor who ignored them was the overused "Unify the Country", which was full of colors and yellow, and looked very attractive.
Presented to the Queen Mother was an emerald green imperial jade pine tree, half a person tall.
The old emperor who was approving the memorial at the Yangxin Hall looked puzzled when he saw what Ming Shizhong and others were carrying in.
"Slave is brave."
"You are indeed brave." Without his consent, you sent the unknown thing in, because you were really afraid that the head would be too strong.
"Your Majesty,"
"Reply, what is this?" The old emperor rubbed his brows, feeling exhausted and naturally getting angry.
"Go back to your Majesty, this is "unification of the country." The people below replied before. I heard that Princess An gave the empress and the imperial concubine embroidered shoes with inches of gold. The slave thought that since she gave them to the empresses in the harem, the princes
They have all been sent away, and it is impossible to miss the Holy One. So I sent someone to guard it. Unexpectedly, I actually guarded it. This is consecrated to you by Princess An and Prince An."
Ming Shizhong was slightly excited, and he was moved to tears first.
The old emperor asked someone to bring the jade case to him and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more heroic he felt.
