Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 309 Jewelry
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the warm bed and reviewed the memorial.

Wanxian was sitting next to Kangxi, embroidering a purse, and there was a basket placed on the heated bed.There are also various colored silk threads and silver scissors placed in the basket.This scene is really a harmonious scene.

Liang Jiugong led the two palace maids to present the tea and snacks, and then carefully withdrew.

After Liang Jiugong left the gate of Dongnuang Pavilion, he asked Wei Zhu in a low voice: "Have all the belongings of the two masters been packed?"

"Please rest assured, Eunuch Liang, everything that needs to be packed has been packed. There are only some personal belongings of the two masters, which will have to wait until the day of departure." Wei Zhu said to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong nodded and said: "According to Long Live Master's wish, on the day of departure. Long Live Master will take the Queen to play in the capital for a day. Then you first take the people and salute back to Changchun Garden. Have a good time up and down. Take care of it."

"Yes, I understand." Wei Zhu agreed.

"As for the people serving around the empress, let's take care of Nanny Gu, Qiaoguo and Yunxia. As for the other maids and eunuchs, we will follow Wei Zhu back to Changchun Garden first." Liang Jiugong said to Nanny Gu and Qiaoguo who were waiting aside. , Yunxia ordered.

Nanny Gu quickly said: "Yes, I understand."

Qiaoguo and Yunxia also quickly saluted and said yes.After listening to Liang Jiugong's instructions, Qiaoguo and Yunxia were also very happy.She is still a girl after all, so it would be good to have a chance to go out of the palace for a walk.

"Oh, that's right." Liang Jiugong suddenly remembered something and quickly told Zhao Sanxi: "Go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask Qian Sifu, and tell him what Long live the Lord ordered before. He said to build it for Empress Shu. All the jewelry has been made. If it is not presented in time, be careful with his head."

Zhao Sanxi quickly accepted the order and said: "Master, the apprentice knows. The apprentice will do it immediately."

Zhao Sanxi said that he quickly exited Qianqing Palace and rushed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Sanxi brought Qian Sifu and five little eunuchs who carefully held the tray covered with yellow cloth.

"Thank you Eunuch Liang for the reminder. In fact, this servant is ready to present it to the Long Live Lord and the Queen." Qian Sifu said with a smile to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong waved the whisk in his hand and pointed: "Since you are ready, you should submit it as soon as possible. You know the temper of Lord Wan live. If you wait until Lord Wan live thinks of it, then you, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will It’s over.”

"No, thank you Eunuch Liang for the suggestion. Please also inform Eunuch Liang." Qian Sifu said with gratitude on his face.

Just as Liang Jiugong was about to speak, Kangxi's shout came from inside: "Liang Jiugong, change the tea."

Liang Jiugong hurriedly agreed: "Come on, I will submit it right now."

As soon as the master here spoke, the slaves below immediately started to stir up trouble.

Liang Jiugong fastened the fly whisk to his waist, held the tray, and said to Qian Sifu, "Wait a minute until the Zajia family reports back to the Long Live Lord first."

"Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Liang." Qian Sifu quickly thanked him.

Liang Jiugong then walked inside with the tray.Liang Jiugong walked to Dongnuan Pavilion and happened to see Kangxi holding Wanxian's hand and whispering.

Liang Jiugong carefully placed the tea cup on the Kang table and whispered back: "Long live the Lord, Qian Sifu, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is here. He said he was presenting the jewelry for the empress."

"Then let him come in. My wife and I will take a closer look. If it's not good, be careful of his skin." Kangxi remembered his previous instructions and said casually.

Liang Jiugong quickly received the order and said: "Come on, I will bring them in right now." Liang Jiugong quickly retreated and led Qian Sifu and five young eunuchs into Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Slave Qian Sifu would like to say hello to the long live Lord, and to Concubine Shu. Long live the Lord, and may the Queen be blessed with peace." Qian Sifu quickly knelt on the ground and said his greetings.

The five eunuchs behind him also knelt on the ground and kowtowed in greeting.But even so, the tray in his hand was still held firmly.Because they know that if the jewelry in the tray is even slightly damaged, their lives may not be saved.

Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and said, "Come on."

"Slave, thank you for your grace. Thank you for your grace, Concubine Shu." Qian Sifu then carefully stood up from the ground.

Kangxi then ordered: "Bring it up to your Majesty for a look. If your Majesty is not satisfied, just wait for me."

"I don't dare." Qian Sifu quickly explained, and arranged for the young eunuch to step forward and carefully remove the first yellow cloth.Revealed inside are a pair of emerald hollow flower pot fish-length double-pronged hairpins, a pair of emerald hollow double-money fish pattern hairpins, a pair of emerald hollow bergamot-hand pomegranate pattern hairpins, and a pair of silver-plated and gold-plated emerald tourmaline flower-patterned hairpins.Especially the pair of silver-gold-plated hairpins with emerald tourmaline and floral patterns: silver-gilt double-strand hairpins and ear-cut hairpins.The ears are wide and long, making them impractical.Slender rectangular hairpin flower, with pink tourmaline flowers inlaid on the upper and lower ends.The edge of the hairpin flower is surrounded by pearl patterns and small pearls.A row of large pearls is inlaid in the center of the hairpin flower, and jade carvings of Ruyi clouds are inlaid at both ends, which is gorgeously decorated.

"Long live the Lord, Concubine Shu, summer is coming soon. This jade hairpin is suitable for wearing in summer." Qian Sifu explained while carefully placing the pair of silver-plated gold-plated jadeite tourmaline floral patterns. The hairpin was handed to Wanxian's hand.

Wanxian also liked this pair and quickly took it and said, "This pair is so exquisite."

"Come." Kangxi said, taking the hairpin from Wanxian's hand, and then took off a pair of ruby ​​hairpins from Wanxian's head, and gave Wanxian the pair of silver-plated, gold-plated and emerald tourmaline flower-patterned hairpins.

Wanxian touched the hairpin on her head and asked, "Do you still look at it?"

"It looks good." Kangxi first boasted to Wanxian, and then ordered to Liang Jiugong: "Why don't you go get a mirror."

Liang Jiugong took the order and hurriedly exited the Dong Nuan Pavilion Road and Xi Nuan Pavilion to get the mirror.

Kangxi looked at the delighted Wanxian and asked, "What else is there?"

Qian Sifu didn't dare to be negligent. He took the order and pulled the second young eunuch forward, opened the yellow sermon and said: "Long live the Lord, the empress. Look, this is a silver-plated and gilded square carefully made by the skilled craftsmen of the manufacturing office." There is a butterfly hairpin, and a silver-plated and gold-plated crab hairpin inlaid with gems and jade. The jade stones on the top are all of the best quality. And this pair of silver-plated and gold-plated flower basket hairpins with pearls and stones are also extremely exquisite."

The silver and gold-plated wide-slice butterfly hairpin: silver-gold-plated needle, wide-slice wings, ruby ​​butterfly head, tourmaline butterfly body, silver and gold-plated dots and jade-embedded jewelery ribbon.

There is also the silver and gold-plated crab hairpin inlaid with gems and jade: a silver-plated needle, gold-plated silver, dotted with jade, inlaid with a white jade crab, and silk tassels.

Silver-plated bead-embedded stone flower basket hairpin: gold-plated copper leaves, red coral dragon head, rice beads, coral bead flower basket, green Ganoderma lucidum in the flower basket, tourmaline plum blossoms, emerald leaves, green knots, coral knots, and gemstone corners.

These hairpins are all made of top-notch materials and top-notch craftsmanship.If the concubine next to her gets one, that would be great.

Kangxi looked at the joy on Wanxian's face, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, these hairpins are good. By the way, where are the phoenix-style hairpins I asked you to make before?"

Qian Sifu quickly opened the third tray, held it personally and knelt down in front of Kangxi and Wanxian.Placed on the tray are a pair of silver-plated and gold-plated phoenix hairpins inlaid with jewels and a pair of silver-plated and gold-plated phoenix hairpins inlaid with jewels and beads.

"I would like to report to the Long Live Lord and the Empress, because these two pairs of phoenix hairpins were made by the Long Live Lord yourself. The servants did not dare to neglect, and invited more than a dozen first-class craftsmen to work day and night for a long time. If there is any If there is anything wrong with it, please forgive me, Long Live Lord and Queen." Qian Sifu begged for mercy while presenting it.

A pair of silver and gold-plated jewel-embedded phoenix hairpins: silver-gilt needles, silver-gilt dotted emerald phoenixes, inlaid with rubies, corals, pearl tassels, red sapphires and tourmaline corners.

A pair of silver-plated and gold-plated beaded phoenix-pattern hairpins inlaid with gemstones: silver-plated and gold-plated jade hairpins.The main decoration is a emerald phoenix, with the body inlaid with gems and pearls, and the unique decoration of the phoenix tail with rice beads in five colors of yellow, red, white, green and pink, giving the phoenix the feeling of flying.

The two pairs of phoenix hairpins on the plate are so gorgeous that one cannot help but be fascinated by them.

Kangxi picked up one of the silver and gold-plated jewel-embedded phoenix hairpins and gestured at Wanxian's two heads.

Wanxian felt a little uneasy, so she took Kangxi's hand and shouted: "Long live the Lord."

Kangxi understood what Wanxian was worried about, and quickly comforted him: "What are you afraid of? I am here. Who dares to do anything to you."

"But..." Wanxian wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Kangxi.

Kangxi said to Wanxian: "Don't be afraid, this is not a Zhengfeng. According to your status, you can wear a partial phoenix."

Wanxian still had some hesitation on her face.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi told Qian Sifu: "Okay, put the rest here first, I will take a look with Concubine Shu later. You can leave first."

"Come on, I'm resigning." Qian Sifu quickly arranged for the young eunuchs to place the trays in their hands on the desk nearby.After cautiously exiting Dong Nuan Pavilion.
