The emperor raised the bracelet to the sun.
The sun shines through the jade bracelet, making the translucent lotus inside more clearly visible.
"What kind of craft is this? How to carve the lotus into the jade bracelet?
"Which craftsman made it? There is such a superb craftsman in my beam?!"
The emperor wanted this set of jewelry very much.
Although he is a man, he cannot carry this thing.
But it’s good to play with such a magical thing!
Maybe it can be used in diplomacy!
But... who told Wen Jin to say "ugly words" in the first place!
If he wants to lose face, he can't open his mouth.
The emperor was also treacherous. He didn't want the jade, but asked about the craftsman! How could he not see that this lotus flower is more like the naturally formed lines of jade itself?
Wen Jin said: "I don't know... Your Majesty didn't say anything. But in my opinion, it doesn't look like it was carved by a craftsman, right?"
The emperor looked at her speechlessly.
"Such a beautiful jade..."
This kind of red jade is of the highest quality!
There are natural lotus patterns in the jade, which is amazing! I believe there is no other piece of jade in the world that can be so spiritual!
Still...want it!
"Such a beautiful jade! How can I wear it? I can't afford it."
Seeing this, Concubine Shu quickly said, "Why don't you give it to the Queen Mother! Only the Queen Mother can wear this rare and extremely spiritual jade!"
The emperor was slightly startled and nodded slowly.
"Concubine Shu is virtuous and respectful. No wonder the Queen Mother always praises you to me."
The emperor smiled slightly, took Concubine Shu's hand, and shook it affectionately.
Qi Guiren's face was distorted with anger.
"There are such... skillful craftsmen in the world!" Qi nobles do not praise jade, but praise craftsmen even when they are wrong.
"Can you recommend this craftsman? Can he repair my concubine's jade bracelet? After all..."
Qi Guiren also wanted to use the bracelet to sell him miserably.
Her bracelet is indeed of good quality.
But that was before Wen Jin took out the imperial ruby.
Now with comparison, her jasper bracelet suddenly became dull.
"Why are you still obsessed with this matter?"
Even the emperor who loved her felt that she was too petty and ignorant!
"Since the bracelet is broken, throw it away! I won't let you mention it again!"
Qi Guiren: ...are you not even allowed to mention it?
"I leave this in my thoughts..."
"I just don't want you to think about it!" the emperor said displeasedly, "Concubine Shu is old, dignified, and behaves prudently! How could she have a slippery hand and break your bracelet?"
"You must have been careless, your hands and feet were frizzy, and you broke the bracelet! You made a mistake, and you are still crying in front of Concubine Shu.
"That is to say, Concubine Shu sees you as young and child-like, so she doesn't care about you! If she does, I'll give you a good beating!"
After all, Qi Guiren is too young and doesn't know how to show pity in moderation.
If you are too pitiful, you will become annoying.
Qi Guiren was dumbfounded by the scolding.
"The bracelet is broken, teach yourself a lesson! I can't just pamper you! I must clearly distinguish rewards and punishments!"
The box of jewelry that the emperor originally said to compensate her is gone...
Don't even think about coaxing her or accompanying her.
The emperor felt that he had been neglected by Concubine Shu, who was so filial and got the treasure. He was the first to think of the Queen Mother.
The emperor was gentle and petty towards her, and even accompanied her to see the Queen Mother.
"The emperor is busy with official duties, so Jin'er can accompany me and my concubines to pay their respects to the queen mother."
Concubine Shu held Wen Jin's hand, not wanting the emperor to accompany her.
The emperor's eyes fell on Wen Jin's arm held by Concubine Shu... and he felt a little envious.
Concubine Shu pulled Wen Jin, bent her knees slightly, took two steps back and left.
"This little girl is really impatient and doesn't know who is inciting her to act like a gunman."
Concubine Shu shook her head.
Concubine Shu, who had long since come out of the drama of palace fighting, didn't care at all about the tricks of competing for favor.
"How can a man be long-lived? His lust fades and his love fades. It's better to be more filial to the Queen Mother." Concubine Shu said.
"Feeling comes from the heart. My mother-in-law has a good attitude and doesn't argue. On the contrary, she looks younger and calmer." Wen Jin said with a smile, "I think my mother-in-law is younger and more beautiful than that noble man!"
Concubine Shu was happy and held her tighter, "Who told me to have a good daughter-in-law! It's hard to think about whether she's beautiful or not!"
"The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in this palace. She is also the most noble person in the world..."
Wen Jin's expression condensed, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
If we could invite the Queen Mother to be the chief judge of the events she organized...
Then the whole style of the event was different again!
Then it’s no longer a “please the man” game!
It is a battlefield led by the Queen Mother, where "women hold up half the sky".
If the emperor writes poems praising the girl, he may be told by the admonishing imperial censor that "beauty is ruining the country" and that the emperor is not doing his job properly.
But if the Queen Mother judges the competition from the perspective of "cultural accomplishment"...what else can those trolls say?
The more Wen Jin thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Why are you so happy?" Concubine Shu looked at her with joy.
"Mother, do you know that I held a competition in Furong Garden?"
Concubine Shu nodded, "The news has spread all over Kyoto! Everyone in the palace said they want to see it!"
"If I ask the Queen Mother to be a judge, will she agree?" Wen Jin's eyes lit up.
Concubine Shu's face froze, "By the way...how could I forget this?"
After saying that, she pushed Wen Jin back.
"Eh? Concubine?"
"Get out of the palace quickly! Don't go see the Queen Mother!"
Concubine Shu had a serious look on her face, "I heard that the Queen Mother has been in a bad mood these past two days, and she is resenting you!"
Wen Jin:? ? ?
How did she offend the Queen Mother?
“Furong Garden used to be a garden, but it was not a royal garden, nor was it as large and imposing as it is today!
"It's because the late emperor and the queen mother met by chance in Furong Garden and created a great story!
"The late emperor built the Furong Garden to express his love for the Queen Mother, making it a true royal garden!"
Concubine Shu explained.
Wen Jin was stunned... She didn't know anything about this.
Xiao Yuchen didn't mention it to her either?
She rents, commercializes, and holds competitions in places where people express love and affection... No wonder the Queen Mother is angry with her.
"If the Queen Mother is angry about this, then I will have to go."
Wen Jin said, "If you have qi, it's best to release it as soon as possible, lest it accumulates and the qi gets bigger. If it becomes too big to be resolved, it will be even more troublesome!"
Concubine Shu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the truth.
"But asking her to be a judge..."
That’s hard to mention!
Isn't that a stab in the heart?
Wen Jin sighed...
Alas, if we could invite the Queen Mother to take charge, that would be the real "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City"!
Without the blessing of the mother of the emperor, there is always a little lack of fire.
Wen Jin followed Concubine Shu to the Queen Mother's Palace.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother, who was enthusiastic about her in the past, now ignored her.
Moreover, the Queen Mother hardly looked at her.
Until Concubine Shu took out the set of ruby jewelry and said that this was Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen's intention to honor their grandmother.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "Humph! It looks good, but the color is too bright and not suitable for an old man like me! Honor your mother-in-law!"
