Chapter 27 Fake jade
The empress was already dissatisfied with Shu Qing and the prince's marriage, and after what happened in the palace just now, she even disliked seeing her, but even if she was displeased, she couldn't express it too clearly, she just hummed lightly.

Shu Qing didn't mind her attitude, and handed the box to the maid who came down to pick up the gift.

The congratulatory gifts were first opened directly by the court lady, and indeed inside was a tender jade bracelet lying on a brocade handkerchief.

This tender jade bracelet turned out to be dull under the bright sunshine.

Even if everyone present didn't understand jade, they knew that jade should be lustrous, but this jade bracelet was of extremely poor quality, and it might even be...fake!
The queen and the others were even more discerning, and they knew it was a fake almost at a glance, and their faces were extremely pale.

Gong Wushang took a sharp look at Shu Qing.

"Bastard!"

Before everyone could react, there was a cold shout, but it was Prime Minister Shu who stood up, his face livid with anger:
"Sinister girl, what should you do for using fake jade as a congratulatory gift!"

Most people held back their laughter, and the queen said even more bluntly:

"Prime Minister Shu, although I know that you are usually an upright official, I don't think that you can only buy fake things for congratulatory gifts. I can't bear it, so in the future, Prime Minister Shu's gifts should be waived."

"Pfft"!
Listening to the queen's ridicule, someone finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and it was Wuhuang Gongwu who was most keen on opposing Gong Wushang:

"Second brother, my future sister-in-law is really 'thrifty'."

"In the future, there will be endless ways for the emperor's sister-in-law to embarrass her. The second brother must have gotten used to it."

"Isn't it? In order to attract attention, the future princess is really 'inventing a new style'."

With the first, there will be the second, and everyone laughs out loud.

Gong Wushang looked at Shu Qing with deep eyes, without showing any emotion at all, as if he was already used to this kind of thing.

When Qin Wan'er and Shu Yiyan saw the tender jade bracelet in the box, they did not hide their joy on their faces.

Prime Minister Shu had never been ashamed to such an extent, his face was blue and white, wishing he could strangle Shu Qing who had humiliated him to death, he could only bite the bullet and reply:

"Empress, forgive me, the wicked girl doesn't know how to be polite, she must have made a mistake." He looked at Shu Qing sharply and shouted:

"Sinister girl, hurry up and apologize to the empress, saying that you made a mistake!"

Shu Qing was the same as in the last life, looking at a loss. At this moment, Li Qianyun, who had always looked down on her, sarcastically said:

"Queen, look at her, she doesn't even dare to show her face, and even gives fake jade, she doesn't have the demeanor of a prime minister's daughter, she is not worthy of the second emperor brother at all."

In her previous life, Shu Qing cared most about her marriage with the crown prince. She only realized it when she heard this. She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The crown prince and Prime Minister Shu lost all face.

In this life, Shu Qing did not kneel down, but muttered:

"Then, why is the jade bracelet in the box?"

The voice was not low at all at the quiet banquet, and everyone present could hear it.

Qin Wan'er seemed even more frightened:
"Sister Qing'er, did you really give this jade?"

It was clear from that appearance that everyone knew what was going on, and everyone stretched out their ears and waited for the following.

Shu Qing was very calm, and said to Qin Wan'er with a frightened expression:

"What happened to the jade?"

Qin Wan'er was proud of herself, but she had a look of embarrassment on her face:

"It cost 10 taels of silver to buy at a jade shop, too, too..."

Qin Wan'er looked as if she couldn't continue talking, but everyone automatically understood that they were too stupid, they didn't even know about the fake jade, and they spent 10 taels of silver!
