It was already afternoon when Bian Jishi and others finished dealing with this group of people and came to see me.
As soon as he came to me, Bian Jishi made a big salute. If he had come before, I would have stopped him.
But today I knew it was useless to stop him, so I simply watched him salute before letting him stand up and offer me a seat.
"Bian Yuan makes this outfit just right."
Today, Bian Jishi put on the official robe exclusive to the imperial envoy. The dark blue official robe was made of fine satin and Suzhou embroidery, and a lifelike peacock was embroidered on the chest to highlight his status as a third-rank official.
Sure enough, a Buddha relies on his golden attire, and a man relies on his clothes. With this outfit, Bian Jishi really seems to have changed as a person.
He felt a little embarrassed when I praised him so much.
"Thank you very much, Madam, for your support."
"You and I can complement each other at most. If you want to get ahead, you cannot do without my support. If I want to be safe and sound in the harem, I also need to rely on you. Ambassador Bian does not need to be too modest."
"Ji Shi said that I would like to serve as my queen's honour."
"Cousin, hahaha, your clothes are so stylish. You finally got your wish and became famous."
Bian Jishi made such a solemn promise so loudly that for a moment I really didn't know how to respond to him. It just so happened that Tianya, who I sent to pick out gifts for Bian Jishi, jumped in at this time.
As soon as I saw Bian Jishi there, I immediately felt as excited as anything, as if I had been promoted and made a fortune.
Bian Jishi's eyes were full of love, but he still had to pretend to scold Tianya for losing his sense of control.
"How can you be so presumptuous in front of your empress?"
"I dare to be so presumptuous just because I'm in front of my queen. Humph, you still have the nerve to say that there is a way to cure my queen but you didn't tell me. Do you know how many tears I shed?"
One second he kept a straight face and deliberately embarrassed Bian Jishi, but the next second he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"But for the sake of your promotion, I will forgive you."
Tianya presented a brocade box in front of me like a treasure.
"Your Majesty, please let me choose a suitable gift for my cousin. I think this is a good one, what do you think?"
The vermilion brocade box inlaid with gold was opened by Tianya, and a crystal clear luminous pearl lay quietly in the brocade box covered with yellow silk.
Although it is daytime now, you can still feel the unique light of the night pearl. This light looks so familiar.
"Your Majesty, please ask me to choose one of the things the Emperor has given me and give it to my cousin. After looking around, I thought this one is very good.
My cousin often stays up at night to study medicine. Candlelight is really harmful to the eyes. This night pearl can hold up to several candles.
It is said that it is a treasure of your country. The emperor and Concubine Yue worked hard to get it from your country."
After hearing this, I took a closer look at the luminous pearl in the brocade box and reached out to hold it. My hands seemed to be filled with lead, and I could hardly hold the small luminous pearl.
No wonder this Night Pearl looks familiar to me. It turns out to be Pearl Tears. I worked so hard to get it in order to understand the "Slave Contract".
Now that Yelu Zihan had given it to me casually, I really didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. As I thought about it, tears rolled down my cheeks unconsciously. In my eyes blurred by tears, I could only see Tianya kneeling in front of me in panic.
"Empress, did Tianya say something wrong? Or is this the Pearl of the Night..."
Wiping away her tears, before she could finish speaking, she stretched out her hand to lift Tianya up from the cold ground, and looked at her with a forced smile.
