Chapter 3 Blood Coral
Yan Yuqing walked along the way and saw the flowers blooming outside Chengxiang Hall, the scenery was pleasing to the eye, and the mood suddenly felt much more comfortable.
In the hall, the queen was sitting above wearing a purple embroidered golden peony pleated skirt. The golden pearls of the South China Sea on the colorful clouds made her shine brightly.
Yan Yuqing thought to himself that his beautiful young man was in his twenties and had been bedridden for many years, and he didn't know whether the position of the queen was blessed or sad. At that time, Cui, a family in Chen County, was reluctant to let the girl of his family enter the palace, so he pushed the aunt from the side branch to this position.
If there was no trace of resentment, how could he have been alienated from Cui for many years? Thinking of this, Yan Yuqing felt a little more sympathy for this aunt.
"See the Queen's Auntie" Yan Yuqing called Queen Cui sweetly and started saluting before she could stand still.
When Queen Cui saw her, she immediately browed and looked at her. After all, she was the child of her sister-in-law. She waved her to come forward and said softly: "I haven't come to see the prince."
Xuanyuan Jue nodded politely as if he had seen Yan Yuqing for the first time.
Seeing this, Yan Yuqing hurriedly saluted obediently and obediently: "My daughter has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The queen did not hide her praise for Yan Yuqing, and said with a smile: "It's not a shame that the child taught by Prince Yun's Mansion has a beautiful appearance and a moderate manner."
Unexpectedly, the queen would praise her in person. Yan Yuqing felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After seeing Xuanyuan Jue, she quietly stepped aside.
The queen looked at Yan Yuqing who was as beautiful as the sun, and she really liked her the more she looked at her.
"I heard from the prince that you were practicing dance hard and went to ask the Hu people for advice, which surprised my aunt. I think my Qing'er is ready to become the princess."
Yan Yuqing was shocked and looked at Xuanyuan Jue with his head in a stern way.
What did this scam say?!
Frightened Yan Yuqing quickly changed the topic: "The Queen's Auntie's birthday next month will be together to gather relatives and friends."
When the queen heard this, she couldn't hide her joy and nodded repeatedly, "Qing'er thought it's right. Judging from my memory, I almost forgot about my birthday. Qing'er had to dress up beautifully that day and suppress those officials' ladies." After that, she glanced down, as if she wanted to tell the prince.
Yan Yuqing observed secretly and found that Xuanyuan Jue had been silent after listening for so long. Not to mention anything else, just relying on this determination, it is a rare talent among his peers. No wonder he has a group of followers at such an age and can grasp the government affairs at a young age. In addition to the support of his mother's family, it is also very important to see his qualifications.
After chatting for a long time, the queen felt a little tired, so she sent someone to send Yan Yuqing back. Because it was sent back by the queen, she received a pair of white jade double-eared bottles from the empress when she came back, and there was no trouble in the mansion.
The red coral that Ning Qiyue took away never came back, but the bearded uncle sent the more precious blood coral.
This made Yan Yuqing a little overjoyed. Blood Coral is a treasure that is rare in a century.
After thinking about it, she still came to the Liu Family Golden Tower where jewelry is inlaid on weekdays.
Looking at the four bright big words "Liu Family Golden Tower" of Jinqidu, I remembered the golden peonies embroidered on my aunt. Yan Yuqing laughed in silence.
She touched the blood coral that had not had time to take out her arms, thinking that she should cheer up and prepare her aunt's birthday gift first.
Jin Gui, the shopkeeper of the Jinlou of Liu's Jinlou, saw the regular customer and stood up to greet him: "The princess hasn't been here for more than a month. What good things do you have this time? It also makes me, the old guy, open my eyes."
"You haven't seen anything good, and now you're joking with me again. If this happens, I'm embarrassed to come next time." Yan Yuqing said that, she carefully took out the blood coral branch from her arms: "I want to use this original branch to wrap gold inlaid with a hairpin. What do you think?"
Manager Jin carefully took the blood coral branches and looked carefully: "Although corals are not common in this capital, they are not rare. However, this coral is dark red in color and has a very good luster. The branches are much thicker than fingers, and they are not as small as ordinary coral ornaments. They are rare and top-quality corals."
Yan Yuqing smiled without saying a word. It seemed that the bearded uncle really put his heart into it.
The young man in white who followed the shopkeeper Jin opened his mouth lightly at this time: "If you only use a long hairpin, it may be a little boring. If you can inlay other jewelry, it may be more agile."
Yan Yuqing's eyes moved from Manager Jin to the young man in white. He has seen him occasionally here over the years. Although he didn't talk much, he often followed Manager Jin, and should be his apprentice.
Yan Yuqing looked at the young man with approval: "Shopkeeper Jin is amazing, his apprentice is better than Lan. You won't have to work so hard if you have a helper in the future."
Manager Jin looked at the boy in white, looked at Yan Yuqing again, and laughed. He held his forehead and said, "You have broken me, this is our master."
Yan Yuqing looked at the boy in front of her again. Although she didn't say much, she had clear eyes and straight figures. She was indeed a gentry boy with a clear breeze and bright moon. She was just too handsome and handsome, which made Yan Yuqing feel a little jealous.
Yan Yuqing still trusts Liu's Jinlou's craftsmanship. After hearing the words of the boy in white, he asked unconsciously: "How do you think it would be better to inlay this coral?"
The young man in white gave the shopkeeper Jin a look, and the pen and ink were prepared on the table. His white jade-like fingers held the brush, and in the flowing water, a coral hairpin that was happy with his eyebrows was vivid. On the red coral branches, green leaves were leaves and rubies were flowers. The thrush made of pearls as small as rice stood on the branches, appearing vividly.
With such a rare idea, even Yan Yuqing, who is used to the treasures of the palace, had to show an admiration. "Boss Liu is young and talented, and this painter can be ranked first in the capital. He is worthy of being the boss of Jinlou."
Yan Yuqing praised her sincerity, but the man in white next to her looked a little shy blushing.
Seeing this, Storekeeper Jin hurriedly explained: "This man is named Xiao Yan. Liu is his mother's surname."
Just as she was about to speak, a pair of rough hands stretched over her shoulder and took away the blood coral.
"Is this the treasure you got there?" Xuanyuan Jue walked to Yan Yuqing and played with what he had.
Yan Yuqing raised her hand: "Be careful, this is something to give to someone."
"Send someone?" Xuanyuan Jue almost burst into laughter.
