Along the way, Yan Yuqing saw hundreds of flowers blooming outside the Cheng Xiang Hall. The scenery was pleasing to the eyes, and she felt much better in her heart.

Inside the hall, the Empress was seated on top of a purple embroidered golden peony skirt. The golden pearls of the Southern Sea reflected off of her colorful bun, making her whole body sparkle.

Yan Yuqing thought to herself. She was in her twenties, and her husband had been bedridden for many years. It was hard to tell if the position of Empress was a blessing or a sorrow. At the time, ChenCounty's Chui family couldn't bear to see their daughter into the palace, so they pushed the aunt of the branch into this position.

If there was not even a trace of resentment, how could he have kept his distance from the Chui Corps for so many years? As she thought of this, Yan Yuqing felt some sympathy for her aunt.

"Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine!" Yan Yuqing called out sweetly to Empress Cui, but before she even stood up, she started bowing.

When Empress Cui saw her, her eyebrows immediately curved into a smile. In the end, she was still the legitimate sister's child. She beckoned her forward and said gently, "Come over here and greet the crown prince."

As if it was the first time that Xuanyuan Jue had met Yan Yuqing, he politely nodded his head.

Seeing this, Yan Yuqing hurriedly bowed and said, "Your servant greets Your Highness."

The empress didn't bother to conceal her praise for Yan Yuqing as she smiled, "It's no wonder that you're a child taught by the Duke of Yun's household. You look beautiful and your demeanor is refined."

Yan Yuqing did not expect the empress to praise her in front of her. She was slightly embarrassed for a moment, but after seeing Xuanyuan Jue, she quietly retreated to the side.

The empress looked at Yan Yuqing, who was as radiant as a blazing sun. The more she looked, the more she liked her.

"Today, I heard the Crown Prince say that you were practicing your dance and had even gone to ask Hu Man for guidance. This surprised Aunt. I think I, Qing'er, am already prepared to become the Crown Princess's consort."

Yan Yuqing was shocked as she turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jue.

What the hell did this bastard say?

Yan Yuqing, who had been frightened, quickly changed the topic. "It's the empress's birthday next month. It's a good time to meet relatives and friends."

The empress couldn't hide her joy when she heard that. She nodded. "Qing'er has thought it through well. Look at my memory, I almost forgot about my birthdate." Qing'er should dress up more prettily that day, so that she can suppress the other young ladies of the Shangguan family. " As he spoke, he glanced downwards, as if he wanted to tell the crown prince.

Yan Yuqing secretly observed and discovered that Xuanyuan Jue did not move even after listening for so long. Without mentioning anything else, just his mental strength alone made him a rare talent among his peers. No wonder he had a group of followers at such a young age and was able to grasp the government at such a young age. Other than the mother family supporting him, it seemed that his own talent was also quite important.

After chatting for a while, the empress felt a little tired and sent someone to send Yan Yuqing back. Since the empress's men had sent them back, and had also received a pair of white jade earrings from the empress when they returned, there was no disturbance in the estate at all.

The red coral Ning Qi Yue took never came back, but the bearded old man gave her an even more precious blood coral.

This made Yan Yuqing feel overjoyed. The blood coral was a treasure that only appeared once in a hundred years.

After thinking for a moment, she still went to the Liu Family Golden House, which was usually inlaid with jewelry.

Looking at the four big, bright words of the Golden Inn, he thought of the golden peony embroidered on his aunt's body. Yan Yuqing could not help but laugh.

She touched the blood coral that she hadn't had the time to take out from her bosom. She thought that it would be better if she braced herself and prepared her aunt's birthday present.

When the manager of the Liu Family Golden Tower, Jin Gui, saw the frequent customer, he hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Princess, you probably haven't been here for more than a month. What good stuff do you have this time?"

"What good thing have you not seen before? Now you're making fun of me." If this happens again, I'll be too embarrassed to come next time. " Although Yan Yuqing said this, she still took out the Blood Coral Branch carefully from her bosom. "I want to inlay a hairpin with this original branch. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Jin accepted the blood coral carefully and carefully looked at it, "Although coral is not common in the capital, it is not a rare item. It was just that this coral was dark red in color and had an excellent luster. Its roots were much thicker than its fingers, and it was definitely not as small as an ordinary coral. This is a rare top-grade coral. "

Yan Yuqing smiled without saying a word. It seemed that the bearded man had really put his heart into it.

The youth in white clothing beside the shopkeeper opened his mouth. "If the hairpin was only made of gold, it would be slightly dull. If it could be embedded with other jewels, it might be even more nimble."

Yan Yuqing's gaze shifted from the shopkeeper to the white-clothed youth. She had seen him here a few times over the years. Although there wasn't much talk, he would often follow beside the shopkeeper, so he was most likely his disciple.

Yan Yuqing looked at the youth approvingly. "Shopkeeper Jin is amazing. Your disciple is already better than Lan. If you have help in the future, you don't have to work so hard."

Shopkeeper Jin glanced at the youth in white, then looked at Yan Yuqing and burst into laughter. He held his forehead and said, "You have truly killed me. This is our home."

Yan Yuqing looked at the young man before her again. Although she did not speak much, her eyes were clear and her posture was tall and straight. She was indeed a Young Master of Qing Feng Ji Yue. However, her appearance was too delicate and pretty, causing Yan Yuqing to feel a little jealous.

Yan Yuqing trusted the workmanship of the Liu Clan's Golden Hall. She couldn't help but ask when she heard the youth in white, "Do you think it would be better to inlay this coral?"

The youth in white gave the shopkeeper a glance, and the brush and ink was ready on the table. He held a brush in his white jade fingers. In the flow of the brush, a coral hairpin hung at the tip of his eyebrows, looking as if it were alive. Red coral branches, emerald for leaves, ruby for flowers, from the small like a grain of rice pearls into a thrush on the branches, vivid.

Such a rare idea made even Yan Yuqing, who was used to seeing the treasures of the palace, admire it. "Boss Liu is so young and talented; your painting skills are among the best in the capital. You truly deserve to be the boss of the Golden Tower."

While Yan Yu was praising him sincerely, the man in white beside her was blushing.

Manager Jin quickly explained, "This husband is surnamed Xiao. "Liu is his mother's surname."

Just as she was about to speak, a pair of rough hands reached over her shoulder and took the blood coral away.

"Is this your new treasure?" Xuanyuan Jue walked over to Yan Yuqing's side and played with the things in his hands.

Yan Yuqing raised her hand and said, "Be careful, this is a gift for others."

"Giving it away?" Xuanyuan Jue almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Just a single blood coral?
