Li Defu took Wang Xiu to the emperor's private treasury. As soon as he entered, Wang Xiu was dazzled.
There are all good things there, and everything is a priceless treasure.
For example, a jade fan made of jadeite, a luminous pearl hanging lamp wrapped with gold wire, a hundred and eight lapis lazuli Buddhist beads, pear wood root carvings of snakes and eagles, twenty-four jade dancers, blue and white jade character pen holders, and azaleas.
The wooden carvings, white jade dragon tablet screen, four screens embroidered with osmanthus flowers in gold thread, and jade bonsai such as coral crystal are really dazzling.
Wang Xiu picked four screens embroidered with osmanthus flowers with gold thread, and planned to take them back to Lu Yunyuan as a dowry. He also asked for a luminous pearl hanging lantern wrapped with gold thread, and planned to use it as a dowry for Lu Yunzhu. Then she actually took a golden one.
The amber pendant is what she likes.
But before leaving, she saw an amber ring and amber bracelet, which seemed to be the same set as her pendant.
But she just took a look and left without moving.
But after Li Defu locked the warehouse, he turned around and handed her the amber ring and bracelet.
Wang Xiu looked at the locked warehouse and said in surprise: "Is this... okay?"
Li Defu said with a smile: "These little things are not included in the list at all. Every time the emperor rewards something, we grab it one by one and use it as a display."
Wang Xiu: "..."
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiu said to Li Defu: "If the emperor orders something to reward the Lu family in the future, Eunuch Li must remember to grab a lot of it!"
While holding back his smile, Li Defu nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Wang Xiu said happily: "That's great. I actually like these gadgets. Although they are not worth a lot of money, they look good when worn."
Li Defu said: "Then wear it differently. If there is something good next time, I will keep it for Madam Wang."
Wang Xiu quickly thanked him and thought that Eunuch Li was quite interesting and not rigid at all.
While they were talking, the eldest princess's car arrived. Wang Xiu said goodbye to Eunuch Li immediately.
When they got in the car, the eldest princess asked Wang Xiu what he had chosen. Wang Xiu told her the two things she liked the most, and then took out the crystal clear amber to show to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess said: "The two items in front are fine, but I have plenty of these three items in the back. Why don't you feel tempted by them?"
Then he sighed again: "You are just too honest, so what if you get more? Prince An's life is worth a lot of money. Just being in the capital is worth the price of a palace."
Wang Xiudao: "This is already very good. The first two items are the emperor's thank you gifts. I am not polite. As for you saying that Prince An's life is valuable, I don't think so. I feel...his life is not that valuable either.
Is it valuable?”
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he shook the amber in his hand, hinting beyond words.
The eldest princess understood and immediately laughed and scolded: "You narrow-minded devil, so this is what you have in mind?"
In the palace, Emperor Shunyuan had just changed his clothes when Li Defu came back to report.
When Emperor Shunyuan learned that Wang Xiu had chosen the two screens and luminous pearl hanging lamps that impressed him deeply, he was curious and said: "She really has a discerning eye."
Li Defu said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I heard Madam Wang whisper about saving dowries for the two sisters-in-law? You can't treat one favorably and favor the other."
After Emperor Shunyuan heard this, he laughed immediately. After laughing, he praised: "It's no wonder that this girl is so popular. If you come to the palace, you can get some good rewards, but she is thinking about her two sisters-in-law. This
If it were an ordinary wife, who would be willing to give it up? Even if she is willing to give it up, she will save it for her daughter!"
Li Defu quickly echoed: "Who says it's not the case? In the end, Madam Wang chose an amber pendant for herself, so I took the decision and gave her the amber ring and bracelet."
Emperor Shunyuan waved his hand and said: "Those things that are not worth taking are given to her if she wants them. There is no need to report them back to me."
The matter was over in this way, and Li Defu didn't say any more.
Soon, news came from Yuhua Pavilion that King An had fainted.
Emperor Shunyuan said nervously: "You were fine just now, why did you suddenly faint?"
The young eunuch who came to report back said: "The envoy Sun Yuan did not return all night, so people from the Taiyuan Hospital came to find him and accidentally told the story of Concubine Chen's death..."
Emperor Shunyuan was stunned on the spot and didn't say anything.
Li Defu quickly drove away the young eunuch, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Do you think we want to recall Lady Wang?"
Emperor Shunyuan came to his senses, shook his head, and sighed: "He has a heart disease. How can the doctor treat it?"
"That's all, ask someone to prepare a sedan chair and take him back to the palace."
"In addition, you go pick out a few decent gifts to send. Just treat it as... my thoughts. I hope he can get better slowly after seeing Jinghui."
Li Defu bent down, his eyes flashed with his head down, thinking that Prince An might be eager to return to the palace as soon as possible? But there was not a single unnecessary word on his face, and he quickly went to do it.
At the end of the day, King An was sent back to Prince An's Mansion.
At Shenshi, all the palace officials returned to the palace to resume their duties.
Shi Tong quietly walked into Yuqiong Courtyard and said to the unconscious King An: "Your Majesty, they are all gone."
King An slowly opened his eyes and then sat up with his body propped up.
Shitong hurriedly supported him and asked nervously: "How does the prince feel? Can you still hold on?"
King An sneered: "What does this little injury mean? What did the palace say about my mother and concubine?"
Shi Tong shook his head and lowered his voice: "It will be kept secret. It is estimated that after some time, it will be announced to the public that he passed away due to illness."
King An clenched his fists, filled with resentment.
Then will his mother-in-law not even be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum?
Shi Tong also saw King An's sadness and anger, and immediately changed the subject and said: "Gao Yi sent a message saying that the newly transferred young eunuch Qingfeng in the East Palace was infected with witchcraft. Please investigate and investigate clearly. Concubine Hui
Use this person."
King An's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately said: "Are you a newcomer to the East Palace? Go and find out. The official who escorted those eunuchs into the palace is Xu Yuande's nephew Xu Gao. He is about to be questioned. It's just right."
Shitong understood and nodded quickly: "I understand."
After a while, the servants came back carrying the treasures that had been rewarded by the palace.
Asked: "Chief Manager, these things are too valuable, the servants don't know where to put them?"
Shitong went out to take a look and saw a jade bonsai that was pretty good, so he said, "Bring this in and put it on the Duobao Pavilion, and just lock the rest in the warehouse."
The servants soon started to move.
Suddenly, the servants' exclamations came from the room.
Shi Tong hurriedly ran in to take a look, only to see King An falling out of bed, half of his body resting on the ground, and looking towards Duobao Pavilion in horror.
Shi Tong immediately followed Prince An's line of sight and saw that it was the jade bonsai he had just ordered to be placed. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, that was just given by the emperor. Is there anything wrong with it? If it's not right, my servant.
Then ask people to carry it out and smash it."
The moment Shi Tong stood up, King An held him firmly, not allowing him to move.
Shitong didn't dare to move anymore and quickly helped him to the bed and dismissed the rest of the busy people.
King An squeezed Shi Tong's hand tightly until Shi Tong's face turned blue. He was holding back the pain and did not dare to speak.
King An was sweating profusely, and the scene in his dream reappeared again. He almost felt like he was reincarnated.
How could it be such a coincidence that this jade bonsai was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream.
The emerald green leaves, the grapes carved from purple jade, and the dark jade tree roots. Even the gravel in the potted plant are polished gemstones of various colors, and the pot is forged from gold... this is the potted plant.
It can't be wrong.
Also in this Duobao Pavilion, Wang Xiu was sitting on the Arhat bed near the window, talking to him.
They were flirting and had a dispute a long time ago.
He even suddenly thought of the name of this jade bonsai, which is called "Golden Jade Mantang".
King An felt that the images in front of him kept flashing and his head was buzzing. He couldn't bear it anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the spot.
This time, he really fainted and even Shitong couldn't wake him up.
