Chapter 21 White Jade Beauty Sculpture

Chapter 21 White Jade Beauty Sculpture

There is another big event before the New Year's Eve, which is the emperor's birthday.Last year after Feng Yao fell into the water, his health was not good, so he forced himself to go to the palace banquet, but he didn't prepare any gifts.So I thought about what wonderful things to give this year, and also made my father happy.

While worrying, Xin Jieyu walked in accompanied by Lu Luo, but told the accompanying maid to wait outside the door.Seeing Feng Yao, he asked with a smile: "Yao'er has to think of a way for me, what gift should I give the emperor this year?"

"I'm also worried." Feng Yao hurriedly got up to give up his seat, and ordered Lu Luo to pour tea.

Xin Jieyu sat down next to Feng Yao, and took Feng Yao's hand affectionately, "I heard that Concubine Chu prepared it with the second prince, it must be a big gift, let's see if we also Ready to come down together?"

Hearing Xin Jieyu's words, Feng Yao's mind moved, and he called Ziying beside him to get some snacks, then gently squeezed Xin Jieyu's hand, and made a question mark with his eyes.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Xin Jieyu put away her smile, sighed, and shook her head helplessly: "Yao'er also knows that I am not well established in the palace, so I came here as a last resort this time. "

After returning to the palace last time, Feng Yao personally returned the white agate lipstick box to Xin Jieyu's hands, secretly reminding her to pay attention to the people around her.It's just that there has been no movement for many days, it turns out that Xin Jieyu has some difficulties.

Feng Yao asked: "Do you have a clue? Procrastinating like this is not the way to go."

Xin Jieyu's radiant face dimmed, and a wry smile hung on her face: "There is nothing I can do if I find out, it turns out that the maids and mothers around me are divided into several teams. There are the eyes of the second prince and Concubine Chu. , and the third prince. Even the emperor sent a niece of Eunuch Chen to be my personal maid."

"Puchi..." Xin Jieyu's words made Feng Yao laugh.Said: "This matter is easy to handle. If it is Eunuch Chen's niece, there is always something superior to others. As long as you keep this person by your side, other people will not be able to make waves."

Xin Jieyu lowered her head in thought, then raised her head and looked at Feng Yao for a while, and said slowly: "I was just being careful everywhere, so I only thought of some side details; You are a more transparent person."

Feng Yao patted Xin Jieyu's hand, "My sister is really out of touch. I don't have so many thoughts just because I am a little person, and thanks to the wet nurse chosen by my mother, I understand some things in the palace." Rules', my sister is my own family, so of course we have to help each other."

After pausing for a while, Feng Yao asked again: "Is it realistic for Concubine Chu and the Second Prince to choose a birthday gift for Father Emperor at the same place?"

"Actually, it was the second prince Yunchen who went to the second princess Fengman and said that he happened to see a nine-foot-tall Ziyun red coral, which would be the best birthday gift; it's just that it's priceless, and I'm afraid that one person can't afford it. Naturally, Concubine Chu heard about it. Now, it will be counted as a share, and another share will be given to the emperor Sun Yunxiang, which will be considered as a prize for the four of them."

Hearing Xin Jieyu's words, Feng Yao knew in his heart that the second prince had already taken action.

Moreover, Sun Yunxiang, the eldest son of the emperor, was raised next to Concubine Chu. This time, Xiang'er's share was added to the birthday ceremony, and it was put together with the name of the second prince, so that all the officials in the court knew: Xiang'er is still young, so naturally I don't know what to fight for, but Concubine Chu has already favored the second prince.

Fengyao thought about it for a while, and said to Xin Jieyu: "Second Brother's nine-foot-high red coral is really impressive, and Xin Jieyu and I can't come up with something so expensive. I just don't know what Third Emperor's is. Is there any movement around?"

"Yao'er means..." Xin Jieyu is so smart, Feng Yao just reminded her, she immediately understood what she meant, shook Feng Yao's hand, and nodded slightly.

"Xin Jieyu, don't worry, someone will prepare it for you. I should also discuss with the son-in-law to see what kind of gift we can prepare for the emperor together." After Feng Yao finished speaking, Zi Ying knocked on the door and said that cakes and candied fruit were prepared. Done.

Xin Jieyu sat for a while, had some gossip with Feng Yao, and then left Yuexi Pavilion.

The next morning, Feng Yao didn't wake up for a long time, but Xin Jieyu came over again. As soon as she saw Feng Yao, she hurriedly pulled her into the room and said: "Yesterday, the Third Prince sent someone to send a message, and wanted to borrow the Butterfly Fragrance .”

This "butterfly incense" is not spices, incense candles, but an aromatherapy burner.But this incense burner is said to be carved with ten-thousand-year-old incense wood. No matter what is burning in it, as long as there is a charcoal fire in the furnace, it will emit a rich aroma, even if the charcoal fire is extinguished, it will last for a long time.

And there is another special feature of this incense burner, that is, the unique fragrance it emits can attract many butterflies to fly around.It is conceivable that under the lingering fragrance, the scene of butterflies fluttering is so wonderful.

So this "Butterfly Fragrance" is one of Yunqing Kingdom's national treasures, and when Xin Jieyu and Moli arrived in Fengjue Kingdom, they presented it to the Emperor as a gift.Emperor Pianpian doted on Xin Jieyu, so he simply gave this treasure to Xin Jieyu.

This time the third prince used the word "borrow", but although this thing is now in Xin Jieyu's hands, it is still the national treasure of Yunqing Kingdom after all, so casually "borrowing" it like this is unpredictable.It's no wonder that Xin Jieyu came to Feng Yao in such a hurry.

"Just want to borrow butterfly incense?" Feng Yao didn't understand what he meant.And butterfly incense is best used in summer, and it is freezing cold in winter, where are there butterflies?Even if the Butterfly Incense is ignited, it is just an incense burner with a special fragrance.

"I'll just borrow the butterfly incense. But I would like to exchange it with a white jade carving, which can be used as a congratulatory gift for the emperor's birthday." Xin Jieyu frowned, feeling embarrassed.

"Then borrow it." Feng Yao felt that since he didn't understand what it meant, he could only "respond to all changes with the same".

Xin Jieyu was undecided at first, but since Feng Yao also felt that she should borrow it, she relaxed and went back to prepare butterfly incense.

In the afternoon, Xin Jieyu sent someone to invite Feng Yao over, saying that she wanted to meet the baby.

Feng Yao guessed what it might be, but he didn't expect to be surprised by the "baby" on the table as soon as he entered the door.

It was a piece of white jade carving, but even Feng Yao, as a princess, had seen countless treasures, but had never seen such a flawless white jade beauty carving.

The entire piece of white jade carving is only one foot long, and it is a beauty lying on her side among flowers.The beauty has a graceful figure, and I don't know what kind of carving is used, but it seems that she is only covered with a thin winged veil, and the beautiful figure is faintly visible; the white jade is like fat, and the skin is more clear; surrounded by hundreds of flowers, but the exquisite The flowers carved are not as delicate and beautiful as the jade face of the white jade beauty, and it is really a treasure that is alive and fragrant.

And the carving was not someone else, looking carefully, the beauty's face on the white jade carving was actually exactly the same as Xin Jieyu.
