The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 357 The Emperor’s Means (6)
Qingchen moved lazily, and said: "It is according to the previous size, and everything else fits well, so I don't think you need to try this one, just put it away."

Jin Xin carefully folded the clothes and put them in the closet, and saw Jin Xiu brought in the little eunuch Zhang De who served in front of the imperial court and said: "Madam, the emperor asked Eunuch Zhang to send something."

Zhang De was holding a big red brocade silk noodle box with rich flowers blooming in his hand. Because it was inconvenient to salute with something in his hand, he bowed and said, "Ms. The canonization ceremony is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have ordered the sewing room to hurry up to make the empress's auspicious clothes, and this set of jewelry is also prepared for the canonization ceremony of the empress."

Jinxiu took it over and carefully opened the lid, Qingchen stood up in surprise, and saw that inside was a whole set of acacia flower jewelry, collars, armbands, bracelets, hairpins and everything else, each piece was carefully crafted and inlaid with gold. The inlaid jade and precious stones are piled up, so bright that it almost dazzles people's eyes.

She suddenly remembered what Xiao Jun said. He said: "Sooner or later, you will understand that what you like is not the apricot blossoms that bloom in the twilight and cold spring, but the acacias that bloom in this warm season."

Stretching out his hand to pick up the simplest jade hairpin, the acacia carved out of red jade was so vivid that he could smell the faint fragrance. Qingchen said with joy: "It's rare that Si Zhenfang can make such exquisite jewelry. Gong likes them very much, and I will definitely reward them in the future."

Zhang De said with a smile: "My lady, this is not all due to Si Zhenfang's contribution. Many of the jewelry here are designed by the emperor himself, and the sketches have been drawn many times. I feel dissatisfied and then I went to Si Zhenfang. The master came to discuss the plan together, this is the emperor's mind."

"The emperor's thoughts?" Qingchen couldn't believe it for a moment, he could actually do such a thing for a child, and recently the previous court was at war, how many important national affairs were waiting for him to deal with, and he still had thoughts go do this.

She put the jade hairpin back into the box, ordered Jinxiu to put it away, and then said to Zhang De: "Then please thank the emperor on behalf of the palace, and just say that the concubine likes it very much, and thank the emperor for his kindness to the concubine."

Yun Lan handed over a bag of money to Zhang De, "Eunuch, you have worked hard. There are still many things to do in this Tonghua Palace. Eunuch, please worry about it."

Zhang De took the money, stuck to the end with a thousand sons, and said with a smile: "I thank you, my lady, for the reward. If it is such an errand, I will be happy even if I run a thousand times a day."

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Zhang De happily told him to go back and return to his command.

Jin Xin brought up the newly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the small kitchen and said, "Your Majesty, it's good to try this cake. The maidservant made it with fresh sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. It's delicious. Since the emperor decided to hold the canonization ceremony on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the servant girl thinks If I were to change clothes that day, I couldn’t wear the peony-colored one. Although it was elegant, the color was a bit lighter after all. On the big day, it’s better to wear the cherry red silk dress with gold patterns, silver threads, twisted beads, and wide sleeves. What do you think?"

Qingchen ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and nodded casually, "That's okay, the headgear sent by the emperor doesn't match the peony-patterned dress. If I change into regular clothes, I'd better use the cherry red one." Bar."

As the weather was getting colder, the queen still had to go to pay her respects in the morning.When Qingchen arrived, she never expected that the emperor would be there early in the morning, greeted the empress together with all the concubines, and she sat quietly beside Qin Guifei without saying a word.
