Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1339 Four Volumes 14
The bowl where the emperor drank milk tea was a tribute from the princes and princes of foreign vassals.The cover of the milk tea bowl is made of gold, inlaid with turquoise, red coral and other gemstones, which is extremely gorgeous; but when the cover is opened, the milk tea bowl inside is the simplest wood.

Every time the emperor drank milk tea, he would put aside the extremely gorgeous gold and gemstone-inlaid case, and only use the plain wooden bowl.

After the emperor finished drinking a large bowl of milk tea, he put the wooden bowl on the table, his eyes naturally floated up, meeting Nala's.

Nalashi was a little shy, so she hurriedly turned her eyes away and looked at the teacup carefully.

The emperor lowered his eyes and smiled: "This milk tea bowl is a bit special, isn't it? There are many milk tea bowls that I usually use in the palace directly made of red gold, but this bowl uses red gold for the cover, and the tea bowl itself is the most beautiful. Simple wood, without any carving or ornamentation."

Nalashi Bian also nodded with a smile: "It's really special. Just looking at the cover, I thought the tea bowl inside might be extravagant and expensive, but I couldn't help but think that if there is a flawless jade bowl from Hedustan in it, it can be compared with the tea bowl. This suit matches. It's the so-called 'golden jade match'."

The emperor lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand and picked up the wooden bowl again.

"This is not only a wooden bowl, but also a not-so-sturdy wooden bowl. Even if I hold it with my hands like this, if I accidentally put a fingernail on it, I can still carve a mark..."

Nalashi listened carefully, but really didn't understand the connotation, so he just smiled: "So why does the emperor still keep such an ordinary and weak wooden bowl? Why don't you just throw it away, like a concubine?" As the body said, it would look better with a jade bowl from Hindustan."

The emperor did not answer, but was still immersed in his own thoughts, and slowly said with a smile: "Someone once saw it, and said to me bluntly, 'Is this bowl called gold and jade outside, but inside it?'"

Nala raised her eyebrows slightly: "Well, the concubine also thinks the words are appropriate."

The emperor lightly hooked his lips: "Gu Dai, you are suggesting that I throw away Baixu because there is Baixu under this gold and jade."

Nala nodded: "Gold and jade are of different value compared to the waste. Anyone can throw away the waste, and keep the gold and jade."

The emperor turned his eyes and stared at Nala's family, "But some people say that we should keep that mess."

Nala frowned, and immediately smiled: "My concubine said something offensive, the one who asked the emperor to keep the rags, could it be Empress Xiaoxian? Empress Xiaoxian has always been respectful and thrifty, even a little bit of cotton wadding is not willing to throw it away. There are."

The emperor was also happy: "You said that the jade bowl is also fragile. But in fact, the wooden bowl in front of me will leave marks when touched, it is more difficult to serve than the jade bowl..."

Nala nodded: "Since such an ordinary wooden bowl is difficult to serve, it is better to change it to a jade bowl, which is more worthy of the name."

Holding the wooden bowl, the emperor stared carefully at Nalashi for a while, but suddenly got up and walked outside.

Nala hurriedly stood up, caught up two steps, and grabbed the emperor's elbow: "Your Majesty! It's so late, your majesty...don't make arrangements?"

The emperor looked back and stared into the eyes of the queen: "The officials of the Ministry of Rituals also presented the sacrificial letter you wrote yourself. I saw that you sincerely prayed for the blessing of the emperor and the aunt in your sacrificial letter, and asked you to give birth to a son for me to inherit the royal family. I believe that Huang Kao and Dimu have received your wishes."

"Gu Dai, you have a heart."
