The Queen Mother had never known before that there would be such a big generation gap between herself and these concubines, and they would have nothing to talk about.
At this moment, when a palace concubine saw the pear blossom hairpin on her head, she exclaimed: "What a beautiful hairpin!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
Others looked around one after another, their breathing suddenly stagnated, and their eyes widened.
The ladies in the harem used to have nothing to do, and their favorite thing to do was to compare jewelry and clothes.
They had seen many good things, but the piece on Lihua's head was better than any piece of jewelry they had seen before.
The young leaves are green and the pear blossom is white. This hairpin is so ingenious that it looks just like the real thing. It seems that you can smell the fragrance of pear blossoms from a distance. If the branches were not also made of white jade, they might not be able to tell the difference.
And the quality of the jade, you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary, but they have never seen such jade.
The eyes of the palace concubines were all red.
A palace concubine said: "I have never seen such a hairpin. If Meiren Qin hadn't discovered it, I would have thought it was a real flower, but I forgot that the spring flowers have withered now."
Another palace concubine immediately looked at Lihua and said with half annoyance and half smile: "Sister Wu, the hairpin you are wearing looks good. Why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"
Although I asked with a smile, my words were full of sourness.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, unable to detect the sour smell here.
She had never felt that before, but now she suddenly felt that these palace concubines were short-sighted and could not see the good things in people.
The Queen Mother regretted not reminding Pear Blossom that this was a private gift from the emperor, and it was a decent thing. Wearing it would make others jealous.
But then I thought about it, maybe it was something the emperor rewarded, and wearing it had to get the approval of other people.
The Queen Mother suddenly became unhappy.
But Lihua smiled and said: "Thank you sisters for your compliments. I also think this hairpin is beautiful. It is very suitable for me. I like it very much."
As for the question of whether to wear it or not before, Lihua didn’t respond.
The Queen Mother suddenly became happy: "You are so ashamed, girl, how can you praise yourself like this?"
After saying this, the Queen Mother's displeasure disappeared.
Lihua was not modest at all and praised her beauty generously. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, it was an affirmation of the emperor's vision, and she also expressed her love in public, which made her unhappy.
Lihua asked innocently: "Empress Dowager, what I said is true. Isn't this hairpin suitable for me?"
The Queen Mother suddenly became even happier: "It's suitable if you say it's suitable. The Ai family can't compare to you, a girl."
The two were talking and laughing, and the topic suddenly changed.
The eyes of the other concubines became even redder. The Queen Mother and Lihua were so amiable and cheerful, making them seem like a group of outsiders who were out of place.
Concubine Li couldn't bear it anymore. She was the one who often came to Zhuang Ning Palace in the past, and she was the one who chatted and laughed with the Queen Mother. She couldn't tolerate anyone getting ahead of her.
In particular, she suspected that this thing was obtained by Wu Meiren by coaxing the Queen Mother.
Li Bin pretended to be joking and brought the topic back: "It does suit Sister Wu very well, but if Sister Wu didn't wear it before, wouldn't she be hiding it and not wanting us to see it?"
Lihua stroked the pear blossom hairpin on her temples, lowered her head and said with a smile: "Sister, I was joking, the hairpin was new to my concubine not long ago, so I didn't bring it with me before."
Concubine Li was so jealous that she asked: "Where did you get it? Such a good hairpin, I want to get one too."
You must know that she was the one who got a lot of good things from the Queen Mother in the past.
It should be her who wants it now, not a new beauty.
I will code and post again during the rest of the day
The dog author is almost exhausted. After receiving a series of overtime packages, I sadly found out today that the colleague who left has a higher salary than me, and I took over his share of work. I still have two shares, which adds up to three shares of work.
, I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to reply to messages from my friends. I was so tired that I fell asleep when I came back at night, and my salary didn’t even get a cent increase...
Woof woof woof, I can’t live this life!!!
Angry! I want to code, I want to struggle, I want to become a great writer, then fire my boss, focus on code, and create a big career in novels.
Next time I go back to Yonghe Temple to worship God, that’s what I’m asking for!
If you ask like this, it shouldn’t be so miserable, right? (Hesitant and not confident~~~)
