Chapter 566 The mystery of the head and face

Turning to the second page of the gift list, I saw Concubine Jianing's gift: a set of gold and jewel-encrusted heads.

After Ye Suhua ordered the palace maid to get it, she was shocked.

A set of six pieces, including one top hairpin, one top hairpin, one distraction hairpin, two sideburn hairpins, and one hairpin.

Each piece of jewelry is intricately decorated with tourmalines, rubies and amethysts.

It is colorful, exquisite and gorgeous. When held in the hand, it is radiant and dazzling, which makes Ye Suhua stunned and unable to put it down.

Although Ye Suhua was particularly favored, because his father Ye Ming had always kept a low profile and lived simply, his daily clothing was only slightly better than that of ordinary officials' children, and he had not seen many high-end luxury goods.

That's why she couldn't see the low-key luxury of Jiang Yuebai's intricate embroidery at the audition.

Ye Suhua didn't expect Jiang Yuebai to give such an expensive gift, and was flattered.

She unconsciously comforted herself that she was a concubine now, and her father had a high position and was worthy of Jiang Yuebai's expensive praise.

She had learned about the unfortunate death of Jiang Jingxian's family through the news sent by her father.

Through her observations and speculations, Jiang Yuebai was sad but unaware. There seemed to be a strange tacit understanding in the palace, and everyone was deliberately hiding the truth from Jiang Yuebai.

The lessons learned after entering the palace have taught Ye Suhua to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to be taken advantage of by trying to find out about this matter. But this made her feel condescending and pitiful towards Jiang Yuebai.

No matter how high Jiang Yuebai climbs now, even if there is a decree from the Queen Mother, even if she succeeds in countering the rebellion, as time goes by and the dynasty becomes stable, her own meritorious deeds will gradually be forgotten.

At that time, without the blessing of the maternal clan, if you want to support your son to ascend the throne, it will be impossible without the help of the previous dynasty. At most, he can just follow his son to the fiefdom.

But he was different. After the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty, everything was in ruins and waiting to be revived. It was a good time for his father to make a big impact. The former dynasty and the harem have always been linked. If his father is reused, he will be favored by the emperor. If the prince is successfully born, the future will be even brighter.

Thinking of this, Ye Suhua felt that his future was bright and there was no need to belittle himself because of the past, so he felt at ease and sent someone to bring mirrors and tried to wear them on his head one by one.

Just as she put on the full set happily and looked in the mirror to admire it, a palace maid hurriedly came to report, and the concubine came to visit with a food box.

Ye Suhua was panicking and quickly tried to take off the hairpin. In the rush, it got caught in the hair and could not be taken off.

Just when she was in a hurry, Concubine He walked in.

The concubine looked at her fluffy and messy hair in secret surprise. There were two hairpins on the table and a few stuck in her head. They are all made of pure gold and sparkling gems, very grand. It must have been a reward from the emperor.

It's just that it's still the mourning period, and even if an exception is made for a banquet today, it is for the sake of the country and abides by the etiquette of diplomatic relations.

After the party, it's time for things to return to normal. The concubines in the harem must follow the etiquette and dress in plain colors.

After so many things, Ye Suhua is still so unsure.

The concubine looked down on Ye Suhua a little, but she smiled kindly and said, "Sister Ye is really in high spirits on happy occasions. She is really beautiful wearing this set of headdresses gifted by the emperor."

Ye Suhua blushed and led the maids to salute the concubine in embarrassment.

After a quick calculation in his mind, he lowered his head and whispered, "This set of hair is a gift from Concubine Jianing. I think it's a bit too expensive."

The concubine was surprised. Jiang Yuebai didn't regard money as money.

With so many concubines in the harem, promotion to the throne is common. There are so many places to welcome and send money, and everything needs to be taken care of. If you spend money so lavishly, even a golden mountain will be emptied. How can it last forever?

Still too young and too kind-hearted.

His mind turned around and he figured out Jiang Yuebai's purpose. It seems that this is to win over Ye Suhua, and maybe he also heard about the fact that Ye Suhua's father was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the previous dynasty. But it doesn’t have to cost so much.

The concubine thought to herself, I have to go to Taorui Palace soon to talk to Jiang Yuebai and tell her a hundred tips on how to reward the harem.

After saying some polite words of congratulations, the concubine put down the exquisite snack box and took a chariot to Taori Palace.

When the concubine arrived, Jiang Yuebai was teaching Li Chun how to play chess.

He Feiping withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room, and asked anxiously, "Sister Jianing, the set of turbans you gave to concubine Shun is worth a lot of money, at least a few hundred gold, right?"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and nodded, "If sister likes it, I will give her a jadeite cat's eye stone-faced set. It is even more beautiful than that one."

"You." He Fei didn't know where to start. After all, Jiang Yuebai spent her own money, not He Fei's.

Simply pick up the tea cup and drink tea to calm down.

Jiang Yuebai looked at He Fei pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Sister, do you think my gift is too expensive?"

The concubine nodded without hesitation, "Exactly."

Jiang Yuebai stared at He Fei for a while, then lowered his eyes, "Sister, are you blaming me?"

Seeing Jiang Yuebai's aggrieved look, Concubine He softened her heart again and persuaded her earnestly, "I'm not blaming you. You just give her such valuables to Ye when she gets promoted to one level. What will you give her if she gets promoted in the future? Human greed is They will be raised. There are other sisters in the palace. If you don’t send them too much in the future, they will have other ideas. "

Jiang Yuebai raised her eyes and looked at He Fei, "I am given this precious gift because she took care of my sister and saved my sister's life, Mrs. Ye."

Concubine He shook her head, "You saved my life."

"I would like to take care of my sister, but Jingren Palace is far away and I am powerless. Although Mo Lan and Mo Yu are loyal, they are slaves and cannot take care of business. The emperor was not in the palace during those days. Fortunately, Ye Suhua is in the palace. Take care of me. Sister, think about it, is this the right thing to do?"

The concubine was very moved after hearing this, her eyes were moist, and she was choked with sobs and could not speak.

After a moment, he said, "You are just stupid."

Jiang Yuebai didn't refute, and really just smiled stupidly.

Concubine He said coquettishly, "You are really stupid. Does Mrs. Ye know what you mean? Did you order the palace maid to tell her?"

Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips and smiled, "Whether she knows or not depends on her understanding."

The concubine shook her head and said with a smile, "She probably wouldn't have imagined it."

Then he told Jiang Yuebai what happened in Jingyang Palace just now, and finally sighed again, that head and face were so graceful and luxurious, it was a pity for Ye Suhua to wear them.

"Then Mrs. Ye doesn't look very smart. If you give her such an expensive head and face, you may not be able to win her favor."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and nodded desperately, "I will follow my sister's teachings. I won't do this again."

Naturally, it is not that simple to give Ye Suhua such an expensive and gorgeous set of hair and face.

Naturally, you want to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Moving Kazuo is just one of them.
