Concubine Wei secretly felt proud when she saw that the queen liked the gold beads she gave her.
"His Royal Highness the Prince didn't know where he got it, so he gave it to me as a gift. I dare not accept such a precious thing, so I borrowed it to offer flowers to the Buddha. Mother, please keep it for fun."
The queen looked at the golden beads in the box, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
Many pearls come as tribute every year, but she has never seen golden pearls. If this were made into a phoenix hairpin, I don't know how graceful and luxurious it would be.
"You have a heart."
"As long as your mother likes it."
The queen admired it for a while and then asked the palace servants to take it and put it away. Take a closer look at Wei's concubine.
The words and deeds of this Wei family made people feel comfortable, and the two sons she gave birth to were often sent to pay her respects. They were raised lively and smart. No wonder the prince doted on her and spent half of the month with her.
He ordered the palace attendants: "Give the pearls from my box as tribute to Concubine Wei."
Concubine Wei declined and accepted. "Then I've made a lot of money. With just one bead, I've earned the Queen Mother's whole box."
The queen was very satisfied after hearing this, and felt that what Wei said was comforting.
The news that the queen got a golden bead quickly spread in the palace. Golden pearls, so rare. The jewelry made into gold is more eye-catching, that is called nobility.
They all asked about it.
Concubine Liu thought it was a gift from the emperor and was angry. When she found out, it was the prince who got it from someone unknown. She first gave it to Concubine Wei in the East Palace, and then Concubine Wei gave it to the queen.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Crown Princess has smashed several cups."
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "You must not smash it." If the emperor only gave it to the queen, she might have to smash it too.
He told the palace servants: "Go and find out where the golden beads came from." If the queen has it, there is nothing she can't lack. And I want to buy one bigger than the queen. She's not short of money.
The people in the palace followed the instructions and went to inquire.
Like Concubine Liu, there are many people who are asking about the whereabouts of the golden beads. Not only the palace, but also the nobles all over the capital who got the news are also asking about it.
The ladies of the Xungui family have always liked to imitate the women in the harem. If this concubine is praised for her style of clothes by the emperor, not only will the whole palace imitate her, but also those outside the palace will not be left behind.
Nowadays, gold beads, black beads, and pearls of various colors are popular again. How can noble ladies be willing to lag behind others? Not bad at all.
Shopkeeper Sheng of Dongsheng Pawn Shop grinned from ear to ear and ran excitedly to find Lu Ye with his account book in hand.
"Boss, I'm afraid our store won't be able to keep a low profile. People who come here to inquire about news come and go one after another!" There was joy in the voice.
The pearls brought back from the road were sold out, and other business in the store also improved a lot.
"Boss, where did you get those pearls? Tsk, tsk, I have been doing business all my life and I have never seen pearls in such good condition."
I wonder if Lutou can still get some more. Taking advantage of this general trend, the store's income will definitely increase several times compared to previous years.
Lu Ye flipped through the account book leisurely, very satisfied with his income during this period.
Seeing shopkeeper Sheng asking, he reassured him: "Don't worry, it will be there in a few days. You comfort the people outside and whet their appetites first."
Shopkeeper Sheng was overjoyed when he heard that there was one with better quality within a few days. He knows how to whet the appetite of customers.
After shopkeeper Sheng left, Lu Ye held his forehead and thought about something.
The Seventh Prince asked him to do something for the first time, but he didn't do it well. He thought he was just looking for two people, so what if he was at the border military camp? He wanted to bring Fang Dafang Er back to His Highness Seventh Prince, and there were many ways.
But who would have thought that Fang Dafang Er would actually die in battle.
Those two brothers are probably the most trusted people around His Highness Seventh Prince. Now that the person is dead, His Majesty the Seventh Prince may be useless. Although people didn't die because of him, he couldn't handle things well, and I always felt that I couldn't help him.
Then I thought of the man in the palace who was so cruel to his own son. He sent everyone around him away and left him to fend for himself. Tsk tsk. Thinking of what he did to Lu Guogong's family six years ago, Lu Ye wanted to go into the palace with a knife and kill him.
Thinking of Zhao Guangyuan's words that their goals were the same, Lu Ye fell into deep thought.
After a while, he tiptoed a little and disappeared into the night.
When there was a slight sound on the roof, Zhao Guangyuan noticed it and was fully dressed waiting for him in the main hall.
Lu Ye, dressed in night clothes, stood quietly in front of Zhao Guangyuan, examining him.
"You have the tiger talisman in your hand, why don't you contact Hangu Pass?"
"There is no need to alert others now."
"Is this what you said, the time has not come yet?"
"yes."
Lu Ye frowned and Zhao Guangyuan saw it. "We have been waiting for six years, why should we care about this moment."
"The longer time passes, the greater the changes will be at Hangu Pass." People's hearts are further apart, and it becomes more and more difficult to regain them.
"If you don't have complete preparations and forcefully recover them, you will only hurt them and drag yourself down."
Lu Ye fell silent.
He also knew he couldn't rush things. It is easy to kill people, but the grievances of Lu Guogong's family are even more difficult to redress.
"I brought two people here," Lu Ye made a move, and immediately two people appeared in the hall, "These are Dark Five and Dark Six. I have stayed with your brother before."
Have you ever stayed with the prince’s brother?
Zhao Guangyuan looked at them steadily. He has always known about the secret guards around the prince's brother. Just like the two secret guards beside him, he always thought they were sent by the emperor's grandfather.
"After my brother left..."
"I called them back." Lu Ye said calmly.
Zhao Guangyuan looked at them with emotion. It turns out that the two of them are grandfather's people.
Lu Ye ordered the two of them: "An Wu, An Liu, from now on you will follow His Majesty the Seventh Highness, treat him as your master, and obey his orders."
"Yes. An Wu and An Liu have met their master."
"Get up quickly!" Zhao Guangyuan stepped forward to help them up, looked at their faces to recognize them, and then raised his hands to Lu Ye to express his gratitude.
Lu Ye waved his hand, "I believe what you said, we have the same goal. If one day, I find out that you are just using us as a stepping stone, I will kill you without hesitation." Who gave you the surname Zhao? Well, if you kill, you will kill.
"Don't worry, Yuan won't forget it for a moment."
Lu Ye could only believe him temporarily. He told Zhao Guangyuan that the nobles in the capital had inquired about the gold and black pearls, and then led others to transport the pearls away.
As for Lin Zhaoxia, she received her household registration booklet from home at noon.
The head of the household is still named Lin, but only her information is recorded on it. This is her personal household registration book. I held it in my hand and looked at it again and again, feeling a little emotional. I sent a WeChat message to Dad Lin, saying that I had received my household registration book.
"Mom, is this the household register here?" Changzhi came over to look at it, "Mom, there is no name of Changzhi."
Lin Zhaoxia touched his head and said, "It will happen. Wait until mother thinks of a solution."
As a result, when she was still having a headache about how to deal with her long-term household registration, someone came to the house at noon and said, "Ah, why do you have a little girl here!"
A splitting headache. A stupid author is not satisfied with the words he wrote. After a day, he doesn't know where to start and has no way to change it. I’m afraid you’ll be in chaos, and I’m afraid I’ll be in chaos too. It’s so painful.
