Chapter 636: The Queen Mother’s Grace
When the palace maid came in, she first bowed to Shao Wanru, then raised her head. When she saw the young lady sitting above clearly, she was so stunned that she couldn't even speak.
There was a rumor in the capital that Miss Shao had extraordinary beauty. This palace maid served in the Queen Mother's palace and had seen Miss Shao. She indeed thought that Miss Shao was exceptionally beautiful.
She never expected that there was someone who was even more outstanding than Miss Shao. Even though she was only dressed in pure silk clothes, she was more outstanding than those richly dressed young ladies from aristocratic families.
Such a simple silk dress actually gave her an ethereal and unearthly beauty, making her pretty little face look like a fairy in a painting.
"But the clothes need to be measured?" Shao Wanru looked at the palace man and said with a smile.
"Yes... Miss Shao Wu?" The palace maid hurriedly smiled, covering up the shock in her eyes, and her expression became more and more respectful. There are no such beauties in the emperor's harem, but there is no one like this Shao in front of her. The fifth young lady usually makes her so amazing.
"Yes, do you want the clothes to be measured?" Shao Wanru stood up and asked.
"Yes, what the Queen Mother means. I know that Miss Shao Wu has been living in a nunnery and a temple without suitable clothes. The draft is about to take place. Miss Shao Wu is the lady on the list. It is the Queen Mother's grace that first of all, Help Miss Shao Wu make some sets of clothes, so as not to have any suitable clothes when she enters the palace!"
The palace maid introduced with a smile, and called two palace servants who came to measure Shao Wanru's clothes, and stepped forward to measure Shao Wanru.
He asked another palace servant to put some pieces of clothing material on the table for Shao Wanru to choose from.
"Originally, the eldest princess Ruian also wanted to bring in a few pieces of material. The Queen Mother said that she would reward them all together, so as to avoid the eldest princess Ruian giving them away again!" The palace maid seemed to be smart at first glance. She spoke calmly and even helped Ruian. The eldest princess solved the problem.
This kind of clothing-making matter should have been done by Princess Ruian originally, but since the Queen Mother has received such a favor, it is also possible for her to help complete a series of things.
The eldest princess Ruian has always been very decent in front of the Queen Mother. Although the favor this time seems a bit bigger, the queen mother has always been kind to the eldest princess Ruian, and she is willing to be kind to her granddaughter.
They brought a lot of materials. After thanking him, Shao Wanru came over and picked four pieces of materials. He did not pick more for the rest, but repeatedly expressed to the palace maid that these four sets of clothes were enough for him.
The palace maid looked at her approvingly and did not force her to pick more. She just smiled and had the rest of the materials packed away.
When a beautiful lady enters the palace for a talent show, she should not bring too many clothes. Four sets are a standard. Of course, if she has the Queen Mother's grace, she can choose a few more sets.
The young and charming Miss Shao Wu actually had such a calm demeanor. She did not rely on the Queen Mother's kindness to spoil her, but actually picked four sets in a decent manner, which really made the palace maid look at her highly.
After the clothes, there was another set of jewelry given by the Queen Mother, a gorgeous set of jewelry, very beautiful. After everything was completed, the palace maid left with a smile.
"Miss, this set of jewelry... I seem to have seen it somewhere before!" Yu Jie looked at the set of jewelry and said doubtfully.
There is a jewelry box open on the table. Inside the exquisite jewelry box is the set of jewelry that the Queen Mother admired. It is indeed very beautiful. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.
"Where have you seen it?" Shao Wanru asked curiously. Everything in the palace is custom-made and not just for anyone to have.
Yujie has lived with him in Yuhui Nunnery for so long, but he probably hasn't met many people.
"My slave, think about it!" Yu Jie closed her eyes and thought carefully about some people she had met, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't think of anything. She could only shake her head helplessly, "Miss, I cannot think of anyone. Who, but this slave girl thinks that she must have seen it before!"
"Have you ever seen the same one, or something similar?" Shao Wanru prompted her, reaching out and picking up a hairpin, walked to the dressing table, and inserted it in front of herself on the dressing table.
The half-comb hanging from the hairpin and a few rows of beads reflect the person more delicately than the flowers.
"Miss, I remember, it's... the eldest lady!" Yu Jie's eyes lit up as she was dazzled by the string of beads, and her mind became clear, "Miss, do you still remember when the eldest lady first saw you when she arrived at Yuhui Nunnery? That time? The eldest lady was wearing such a hairpin at that time!"
An exquisite hairpin, you can tell at a glance that it was customized by the palace!
"Xingguo Gongfu has received many favors from the emperor, and there are also rewards from the palace. It's as it should be, it's nothing!" Qu Le came in with tea and said indifferently after hearing Yu Jie's words.
"But...but the two hairpins are the same..." Yujie stuttered and said anxiously.
Many of the jewelry in the palace are indeed customized, but because they are customized, there are always some differences. There will never be two identical hairpins. Whether you give them as a reward or wear them yourself, they cannot be the same as others. He lost his dignity in the palace.
"Are they two identical?" Shao Wanru was also quite interested. He stretched out his hand and pulled off the hairpin on his head. Different from the simple ones outside, this was a half-fan hairpin, which looked more gorgeous than ordinary hairpins. A semi-fan-shaped bead string hangs on one side of the hairpin. The beads are as fine as rice grains. They are not big, but the beads are round and plump.
On the golden thread, small white pearls sway from time to time. If they are inserted in the hair, the raven hair and red color reflected will become more and more beautiful.
This is a very beautiful hairpin. This kind of hairpin will be liked by many women because of its unique appearance. However, this unique look will not really make just one piece. There should be some similar ones, although it is impossible. They are exactly the same, but the goldsmiths are still happy to make several similar ones to please the master in the palace.
"This... slave girl can't remember, maybe... maybe it's different!" Yu Jie was asked, and after thinking about it, her brows became tangled. She can't remember now if they are exactly the same. It was because of the big The lady’s hairpin was beautiful and different from ordinary hairpins, so I took a few more glances at it.
After the eldest lady prepared to live in Yuhui Temple for a long time, she never saw the eldest lady wearing such a hairpin again. Now that she thinks about it, her memory is a little blurry! I just vaguely felt that such a unique look was different from other hairpins, so I took a few more glances.
"Miss, the eldest lady must also be rewarded by the Queen Mother!" Qu Le guessed.
Shao Wanru smiled slightly, "Put away the jewelry first!"
Since the Empress Dowager rewarded her in the name of a talent show, she would just wear this outfit during the talent show. As for the Empress Dowager asking people to make clothes and jewelry for her, it was quite surprising.
Wouldn’t it really make people think too much if the Queen Mother showed off her clothes and jewelry at this time? I was originally very low-key, but because of this incident, I fell into the eyes of many people.
Is this good or bad? But no matter whether it is good or bad, since he has gradually emerged in front of everyone, he will not let go of such an opportunity.
Good or bad, sometimes good can turn into bad, and bad can turn into good!
"Yujie, you will send the jewelry to Duke Xingguo's Mansion for me later. I said that such colorful jewelry is not appropriate to store in Huaguang Temple on the mountain. I asked you to put it in the courtyard where I live in Duke Xingguo's Mansion!"
The thing about the gorgeous clothes happened before, now it is appropriate to take this set of jewelry to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Qingxiu should look like a Qingxiu, and should not bring bright clothes and gorgeous jewelry.
When the wife of Duke Xingguo came to invite Shao Wanru, she mentioned that the courtyard could be lived in. At that time, the eldest princess Ruian sent Aunt Yu from Shao Wanru's side there, and also arranged a few people to help. Let her deal with the affairs in the yard first.
After Shao Wan comes down the mountain, he can live directly in it. Everything inside is given by Princess Ruian and prepared by Xingguo Duke's Mansion.
"Send the jewelry to Mrs. Xingguo first, let her take a look, and then ask Aunt Yu to put it away!" Shao Wanru said in detail, with a trace of darkness slipping through his eyes.
No matter where the similar set of jewelry in Shao Yanru's hand came from, she would definitely be anxious when she saw this set of her own. If she was also a young lady from the Xingguo Duke's mansion, if she rewarded herself but not Shao Yanru, not only Shao Yanru would be anxious, but Mrs. Xingguo Duke would also be anxious. urgent!
The dispute between Shao Yanru and Qin Yuru has not reached a conclusion yet, which shows that the Xingguo Palace has not gained the upper hand...
"Mother, why hasn't this matter been resolved yet? It's just a small Yong-Kangbo Mansion, why hasn't it been resolved yet?" Shao Yanru said angrily with a pale face.
"That Qin Yuru is pregnant, but Mrs. Yong Kangbo refused to let go, saying that she would wait until after giving birth to the child!" Mrs. Xingguo's face was as gloomy as water. She was no longer dignified and decent in front of others. She patted the table angrily. When the incident was mentioned, Mrs. Xingguo was also very angry.
During this period of time, she had been secretly negotiating with Mrs. Yongkang Bo. As long as Yong Kangbo Mansion could sacrifice Qin Yuru, the Duke of Xingguo could give some big benefits to Yong Kangbo Mansion.
Mrs. Yong-Kangbo kept putting it off at first, saying that she would discuss it when she went back, and put it off again and again. But now she actually said that Qin Yuru was pregnant. It was impossible for her to attack her grandson at this time, so She politely rejected Mrs. Xingguo.
"Mother, it's just a small Yong-Kang Bo Mansion. Is it possible that with the strength of our mansion, we can't deal with a Yong-Kang Bo Mansion? If they are not willing to sacrifice Qin Yuru, they will suppress the entire Yong-Kang Bo Mansion. Mansion, isn’t that Yong Kangbo still a subordinate of my father?”
Shao Yanru's beautiful face was filled with coldness. She suppressed the dryness in her heart and said in a cold voice, "Mother, the Queen Mother only rewards Shao Wanru but not me. It shows that she is dissatisfied with me. If the Queen Mother is dissatisfied, Even if I have a chance in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do so, and our entire Xingguo Palace will be affected by that time!”
