"Not for the imperial concubine?" Wu Jingyi frowned, then sneered, "If it's not for the imperial concubine, do you want to keep it for yourself?"
Yun Zishu looked indifferent, "You can't control whether I wear it or not?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yun Zirou walking in surrounded by palace maids, wearing a bright red palace dress with layers of skirts and a bright and luxurious color.
Hearing Yun Zishu's words as soon as he entered the door, Yun Zirou's eyes tightened slightly and she looked at Yun Zishu displeased: "Why are you talking so irritably, Ninth Sister? It's your concubine's birthday today. What gift you want to give is your own business."
, no matter how valuable it is, we only treat it as your thoughts, and we are not trying to steal the limelight from you."
That set of phoenix crown hairpins is not a formal phoenix crown. You can wear it on daily basis. Even if you don't wear it, it looks comfortable.
When she came back a few days ago, she told her mother and concubine about this matter. Her mother and concubine were very happy and felt that there was no need to argue with Yun Zishu. Anyway, it was Yun Zishu's money that was spent. Even if Yun Zishu had no money temporarily, she would still have to pay the debt later.
She can do it by herself, and there is no need for them, mother and daughter, to worry about it.
Who would be unhappy if he got a set of phoenix crown hairpins worth tens of thousands of gold for free?
Yun Zirou thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. No matter who the imperial treasure pavilion manager was looking for, this set of phoenix crowns would eventually fall into the hands of the mother-in-law. This is the most important thing.
Yun Zishu presented a gift in front of everyone, and at most she received only verbal praise. People who should have distanced themselves from her afterwards still distanced themselves from her, and those who didn't like her still didn't like her.
When Yun Zirou thought about it, she suddenly felt that there was no need to vent her anger with Yun Zishu.
"It doesn't matter whether you want to steal the limelight or not." Yun Zishu sat at the table with a relaxed look and a calm tone, "I'm just telling the truth. My set of phoenix crown hairpins is definitely not for the imperial concubine."
Seeing that she didn't seem angry, Yun Zirou's expression slowly darkened: "What are Jiu Mei talking about?"
Yun Zishu's eyes were slightly cold and her demeanor was stronger than hers: "How many times do you need me to repeat this?"
"Today is my concubine's birthday. If you don't give the phoenix crown you bought to my concubine, why don't you keep it for yourself to wear?"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "Since you know that it is a phoenix crown, you should know even more that only the queen can wear the phoenix crown."
"you--"
Yun Zishu asked calmly: "Concubine, do you want to be the queen?"
Yun Zirou's face suddenly turned cold and she looked at her gloomily.
The other noble ladies in the side hall also looked surprised and looked at Yun Zishu in disbelief. Several people who appeared in the Imperial Treasure Pavilion that day had expressions of disbelief at this time.
Didn't Yun Zishu buy the phoenix crown worth ten thousand taels of gold to give to the imperial concubine?
So who is she planning to give it to? Is it possible that she will keep it for herself?
As we all know, although the Imperial Treasure Pavilion is not an imperial merchant, most of the jewelry sold in the pavilion are extremely valuable. Most of them are bought by noble ladies as gifts to the queen mother, concubines and other ladies, or the eldest princess and empress want it for themselves.
Some novel styles can also be customized in advance.
However, there are regulations for customized styles, which must be based on status. If you wear jewelry that does not belong to your status, you may be charged with a serious crime.
All the noble ladies looked at her in unison, each with thoughtful expressions, but Yun Zishu turned a blind eye.
"Yun Zishu, what do you mean?" Yun Zirou looked at her coldly, "Today's Qianqiu Banquet, do you want to make her unhappy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the respectful voice of the chamberlain sounded outside: "The banquet is ready in the garden. Please come in, ladies and gentlemen."
The ladies had different thoughts, and stood up and walked out in twos and threes. Before leaving, some people couldn't help but glance across Yun Zishu's face, with deep thoughts in their eyes.
The Ninth Princess has really changed a lot from before, and the most obvious change is in her demeanor.
The emperor favored Concubine Wu. In order to make the atmosphere more relaxed, he held the Qianqiu Banquet in the imperial garden, built a stage, and invited the most famous opera troupe from outside the palace to sing.
The ladies carried Yun Zirou to the imperial garden, but Yun Zishu didn't mind being ignored by everyone and slowly lagged behind.
"Leng Yue." Yun Zishu said.
"Your Highness."
"Today is the birthday of Concubine Wu, and the Queen Mother will also appear." Yun Zishu's voice was very calm, "The purpose of my visit to the palace today is to see the Queen Mother, not to celebrate Concubine Wu's birthday."
"My subordinate understands." Leng Yue nodded, "My subordinate will make arrangements later."
Yun Zishu hummed and said nothing more.
The imperial platform was built in the most spacious place in the imperial garden, for the queen mother, the emperor, the concubines and the concubines to sit down. The royal curtains were hung around and separated the distance between the emperor's family and the ministers. The left and right sides of the imperial platform were
Sitting in a row were the clan princes, princes and important ministers of the court.
Although the Queen Mother did not come, out of respect and filial piety, the emperor always ordered a phoenix chair to be set up on such occasions.
The ladies of the clan, the princess and the ladies sat in the banquet room on the second floor of the imperial garden attic and had a banquet. After the opera started, they could come out and stand on the railing to listen to the opera.
The superiority and inferiority of kings and ministers, and the distinction between men and women should not be confused at all.
The princes and ministers were seated one after another, and a high-pitched and feminine voice sounded from a distance: "The emperor has arrived, the noble concubine has arrived -"
Everyone stood up to greet him and knelt down to worship the Holy Master.
"See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"
"See the noble concubine, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The emperor and Concubine Wu came together, wearing dragon robes that were majestic and domineering. Concubine Wu was dressed in a red robe that only the queen can wear. Her makeup was exquisite, her face was graceful and gorgeous, and her whole body was very noble.
Behind them were several high-ranking concubines, all of whom were dressed grandly.
"Your Majesty, please stand upright." The emperor held the arm of the chamberlain and walked up to the royal platform, sat down on the dragon chair, and raised his hand to signal everyone to take their seats. "Today is the imperial concubine's eternal banquet. I wish my beloved concubine good luck every year and happiness every year."
now."
Concubine Wu saluted politely, with a perfect smile on her lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The concubines who took their seats one after another smiled and congratulated: "I wish my sister good health and everything goes well."
The ministers below also congratulated: "I wish the imperial concubine a long life and good health!"
"Thank you very much, princes and gentlemen." Concubine Wu said in a dignified and kind manner, "Princes and gentlemen, please take a seat."
Just as everyone was about to sit down, another voice sounded not far away: "The Queen Mother has arrived——"
The imperial garden suddenly became quiet.
The emperor's expression visibly stiffened, and the imperial concubine turned to look at the emperor in surprise: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
