The emperor was really happy to get the Yishan crown, and soon thought of Jiang Baoyu's reward.

However, he did not announce it on the spot, but asked Jiang Baoyu to go back and wait, saying that he wanted someone to draft the imperial decree and read it out in public.

Jiang Baoyu felt that the emperor was a rogue, so wouldn't she have no room for bargaining?
"Everyone, I actually have a wish, which is easy for everyone to realize, so there is no need to spend so much time drafting the imperial decree, right?"

"no!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor vetoed it, waved his hand and said, "You presented me with such a good hat as Yishanguan. If I just fulfilled your little wish, wouldn't it be necessary to make the world laugh at my stinginess? Go back and wait. I have my own plan."

So Jiang Baoyu was sent back like this.

But when she received the emperor's decree, she finally realized that what reward she wanted was not important at all, what was important was what reward the emperor wanted to give her.

Well, if this is also called a reward.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Jiang Baoyu, the imperial court, is talented and intelligent, knowledgeable about the past and the present, superb in skill, dedicated to me, and won my heart. As the saying goes, happiness alone is not as good as happiness with others. I can't be loved alone. The crown needs to be shared with all the ministers.

Therefore, Jiang Baoyu, the special commander, made persistent efforts and continued to make Jinde crowns for officials above the third rank in our court according to the ancient system.

There is also Shui Hanzhou, a doctor who serves as a censor, with a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance.

Appreciate this! "

Tianyi was reading the imperial decree here, Jiang Baoyu's expression had changed seventy or eighty times, and in the end he almost wanted to scold his mother.

In the end, Tianyi said to her in a gentle and gentle manner: "Jiang Zhangyi, accept the order."

Jiang Baoyu: "Hehe."

After receiving the imperial decree, the top hat asked questions.

"The emperor didn't say when the entry into the German crown will be completed?"

Tian nodded, but quickly said with a smile on his face: "It's true that I didn't say it, but half a month later, at the wedding banquet of Princess Mingzhu, the emperor will definitely wear this winged crown. Junzhan, it can’t be done later than then.”

Jiang Baoyu: "..."

Although the Zhongshu Ling with the highest real power in Dayan is only the third grade, those princes and nobles who are at home are not in the minority.Together, there are dozens of people, and now the dress for Concubine Zhao is only half finished, how can she have time to make hats for so many people?
But Tianyi didn't know that Jiang Baoyu was going to make clothes for Concubine Zhao, thinking that the emperor had specifically mentioned in the imperial decree that Shui Hanzhou was going to make a hat for Jiang Baoyu, so Tianyi made another point and said: " Shui Shizi is currently playing chess with His Royal Highness in the Eastern Palace, if Jiang Zhangyi needs it, he can go to the Eastern Palace."

"It's no use."

Jiang Baoyu was getting angry at the moment, rolled up the imperial decree in his hand, and said angrily: "When I made the sacrificial clothes for Prince Shui, I have already measured his size. I will figure it out myself."

After Jiang Baoyu finished speaking, he saluted Tian Xing perfunctorily, then turned and left under the watchful eyes of all the people in Shangfu Bureau who knelt with her to receive the order.

This made Tianyi very embarrassed, and had to explain to Jiang Baoyu: "Hehe. My emperor is benevolent, so there are many officials with true temperament under his command. Jiang Zhangyi is a fearsome future generation!"

Everyone in Shangfu Bureau: "..."

Just spoil her, now no one knows that the emperor is interested in Jiang Baoyu...

Fortunately, the emperor only asked Jiang Baoyu to design the crown, and didn't tell Jiang Baoyu to do it himself.

And because of the precedent of the Yishan crown, Jiang Baoyu stole some cleverness. On the basis of the Yishan crown, he removed the small wings, changed the material of the skeleton from iron wire and bamboo strips to gilt copper, and the leather stretched out into shape. , with a thin leather cutout floral decoration.

Previously, due to the rush of time when making the Yishan Crown, he did not make too many decorations, but now when making the Jinde Crown, Jiang Baoyu gave birth to many new inspirations, and added them to the Jinde Crown.

After drawing the blueprint, Jiang Baoyu handed over the matter to Dianyi below for arrangement, while she herself concentrated on making the gown for Concubine Zhao Gui.

He didn't want the design of the Jinde crown to be too successful, and as soon as Si Yisi sent the finished product to the emperor, he loved it so much that he ordered that even the favorites below the third rank can wear such a beautiful Jinde crown. Baoyu came to deal with it.

This made Jiang Baoyu start scolding his mother again.

If I knew this earlier, why did I say that I only made hats for noble officials above the third rank?

How to distinguish the hats of officials of different ranks is a complicated issue.

After all, court officials ranged from the ninth rank to the first rank, and the third rank was the first rank. The hats they wore should be strictly graded.

Especially when the emperor ordered the prince to watch the ceremony, he also needed to wear the Jinde crown, which had to be differentiated.

Previously, in order to distinguish the identities of officials at all levels, Si Yisi usually distinguished on the pattern of the brim of the hat, but this way, there was not enough time left for Jiang Baoyu and Si Yisi.

So Jiang Baoyu thought of a way, that is to add gold-plated copper beams on the top of the crown, which are divided into three levels: first beam, second beam and third beam, and only noble officials above the third rank can wear the three-beam crown.

The number three is very meaningful in China. There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching": "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

So three became a very philosophical number in Chinese civilization.

Jiang Baoyu took the three determinations as the highest number of beams that can be added to the Jinde crown, also to show the noble status of the person who won the crown.

As for the Jinde crown worn by the crown prince, the prince's exclusive pattern was carved on the gilt copper beam to show the difference in status.

In this way, the hat-making turmoil caused by the emperor to match Jiang Baoyu and Shui Hanzhou finally came to an end.

Although there was no progress between Jiang Baoyu and Shui Hanzhou, and Jiang Baoyu didn't get the reward he deserved, the emperor was very happy and had forgotten his original intention of causing this turmoil.

He even often dangles in front of Shui Hanzhou wearing his little winged crown, saying from time to time, "It's useless, I've helped you for this, and you haven't caught up with him, what a waste!" what!"

Whenever this happens, Shui Hanzhou will always give him a cold and stern look, as if to say: "I thank you eight generations of ancestors."

Then the emperor would pretend he didn't see it, and immediately put on his little wings and crowned wings to show off in front of others.

Although he won't say a word in front of others, his posture and expression seem to say, look, I have wings made of phoenix feathers, you don't have them!

Even Shui Lige couldn't help asking Jiang Baoyu to admire many things when he saw his appearance.

"The emperor hasn't been this happy for a long time, you're doing well."

But Jiang Baoyu watched those things that Shui Lige rewarded, and the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time finally came out uncontrollably.

"If the empress really wants to reward the minister, can I use these things and give the minister another reward?"
