Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 166

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." The emperor stretched out his hand and wanted to take it.

"I want it, I want it, thank you for the reward from the emperor." Ya Ruo hurriedly took two steps back with the box behind her back.

"Look at how stingy you are, it seems like I'm going to snatch you away." The emperor wanted to laugh when he saw her reaction so big.

After hearing this, Ya Ruo slandered in her heart, your old man just wanted to go back on his word and take it back.

"It's getting late, you've worked hard these days, go back and rest." The emperor leaned back on the chair and waved to Ya Ruo.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty, my servant is resigning." Ya Ruo hurriedly blessed her body and withdrew.

To be honest, she was also very curious about what was in the box, but in the Qianqing Palace, she still resisted opening it, and when she got to the palace road, the lights were a little dim, and she opened it and found a small cloth in the box. I didn't continue to open the cloth bag to look at the things in the bag.

"Gege, you've been away for half a month, and you're finally back." Baolan and Yingge said excitedly as they followed her Gege from left to right.

In fact, Ya Ruo had just returned to the Compassion Ning Palace, and they were with Ya Ruo, only at this moment did they have the opportunity to talk to their master.

"You two girls look good, your complexion is ruddy, and you seem to have grown a little taller. It can be seen that you are doing well these days when I am not in the palace." Ya Ruo said with a smile.

"The people of Compassionate Ning Palace take good care of us in Xibei Hall, and the servants and maidservants naturally live well." Baolan said with a smile.

"These days, the palace is fairly peaceful." Ya Ruo asked in a low voice.

"Except for the Empress Dowager who released Concubine Jing from Yongshou Palace, one of the beautiful girls in Chuxiu Palace died." Yingge said in a low voice.

"Ah..." Ya Ruo was taken aback after hearing this: "There is such a thing, it's too scary."

"Isn't that right? It was suicide. I hanged myself with white silk. I heard it was scary, but the slaves didn't dare to look at it." Baolan said with lingering fear.

"Then why did she commit suicide?" Ya Ruo asked in a low voice.

"I heard that the first day I had a dispute with a few show girls over a trivial matter, and had a big fight. The next morning, the maid found him hanged in the room. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to check, they said it was suicide. , and ordered Xiunu’s family to carry away the body, this kind of thing is very unlucky in the palace, I heard that Xiunu’s family was reprimanded.” Baolan said in a low voice.

"Poor." After hearing this, Ya Ruo couldn't help but shook her head, her daughter died, the parents must be heartbroken and be reprimanded, it's really cruel.

"Gege, you don't know. According to the rules of the palace, once this beautiful girl is selected into the palace, even if she has not been canonized, she is still a member of the royal family. Life and death are not up to her. The masters decide, so she hanged herself. , that is also a crime." Yingge stepped forward and said softly.

"Hey, in short, there is no human rights, no freedom, and death is not up to oneself." After Ya Ruo finished speaking, she took the two girls into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when she returned to the Xipei Hall where she lived, she found the Queen Mother sitting there.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager's aunt." Ya Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Girl, you have worked hard to take care of the emperor these days. Look, you have lost a lot of weight. The Ai family should reward you well." The queen mother said with a smile.

"The empress dowager's aunt is serious. It is Ya Ruo's blessing to take care of the emperor." Ya Ruo said with a chuckle. Well, the hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant, although it is a family, but it can't be too much.

"You girl, Aijia didn't think so when he looked at you, what are you holding in your hand?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

"Reporting to aunt is a reward from the emperor." Ya Ruo replied with a smile.

"No wonder you girl is smiling like this. You don't want anything from Aijia. It turns out that the emperor has already rewarded it. Let's take it to Aijia to see what it is." The Queen Mother laughed.

"Ya Ruo doesn't know what it is, I haven't had time to look at it yet." Ya Ruo said while presenting the wooden box.

"This..." The queen mother looked at the wooden box, and was stunned for a while, without reaching out to pick it up.

"Aunt Queen Mother, what's the matter with you?" Ya Ruo was a little puzzled, didn't the Queen Mother want to see it?Why did the old man refuse to pick up the paper when she submitted it by herself?

"It's nothing." The queen mother reached out to take the wooden box, and touched the golden silk pattern on it. After a while, she opened the cloth bag inside.

Ya Ruo was completely dumbfounded when she saw what the Queen Mother was holding in her hand.

How can there be such a big pearl? It's too exaggerated, isn't it true?
"In the past, the whole country respected the South Pearl. Since we entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, the East Pearl has been regarded as the most precious. This East Pearl is a rare treasure. I am afraid that the whole country will never find such a big pearl again. And the pearl without blemishes." The queen mother gently touched the pearl in her hand and said in a low voice.

"Aunt the Empress Dowager, if you like it..." Seeing the Empress Dowager touching the pearl, Ya Ruo seemed a little fond of it, so she planned to present it to the Empress Dowager.

It is quite cost-effective to use the emperor's things as favors, and besides, it is the queen mother, so the emperor will not be angry.

Ya Ruo also knows that this thing is very precious, although she still likes treasures, she is not a greedy person, she has seen the queen mother's court dress, the pearl on the crown is not as big as this one.

"No, since the emperor gave it to you, it's yours. You don't have to give it to the Ai family, and you won't want it if you give it to the Ai family. The Ai family just laments the past." The Queen Mother shook her head and handed the pearl to the Ai family. Ya Ruo.

"Aunt Queen Mother, does this pearl have any origin?" Ya Ruo asked curiously.

"That's right. I got this pearl a year before I entered the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the entire royal family was shocked. They took it as an auspicious omen and publicized it. Later, I got this pearl in Qing Dynasty." The Queen Mother laughed. said.

"It's so precious, Ya Ruo can't take it." Ya Ruo was startled, although the pearl is good, but it has special meaning, she dare not take it.

The legendary luminous pearl is probably like this, except that this pearl does not emit light. It looks like it has a diameter of more than three centimeters, about an inch. You must know that she has seen the largest perfect round pearl in her previous life. The diameter was no more than two centimeters, and as for the price, it was completely out of her reach.

"The emperor gave it to you, so you can take it and keep it well." The queen mother looked at Ya Ruo and said with a smile.

What she didn't tell Ya Ruo was that the earliest owner of this pearl was actually the regent King Dorgon. His subordinates presented the pearl to him, and he dedicated it to the Queen Mother instead.
