Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 563 Two phoenixes fight each other like a light on their backs (2)
"Your Majesty, this is too precious, my wife..."

Ji Chonglian wanted to resign, but the imperial concubine smiled and shook her head, "There is no reason to take back the things that were sent out. On weekdays, Mrs. Pei also respects this palace well. Don't say anything that you're happy with!" His eyes swept away, already hinting at it.

"Yes... the minister's wife thanked the empress!"

Ji Chonglian sighed helplessly, and could only salute respectfully.

The imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to the queen with a smile, "The concubine heard that my sister also got a peerless hairpin a few days ago, thinking that my sister and Mrs. Pei have always had a good relationship, why don't I take this opportunity to give it to you as well?" Wouldn't it be more auspicious for her to have a double happiness?!"

The queen's complexion sank, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightened.

Some people whispered below, what kind of good things even the empress would hate to part with, the empress' complexion changed after being provoked by the imperial concubine.

Ji Chonglian felt a headache at this moment, and now she has become the target of public criticism, so it is not good to say anything at this moment, so she can only lower her eyes and remain silent.

I didn't expect that it was rare to enter the palace once, and she would be regarded as a target of fighting by these two. How innocent is she?

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and even Princess Minfu noticed something was wrong, so she couldn't help but secretly tugged on Ji Chonglian's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Sister, or I'll pretend to be dizzy, let's leave at this time Well done."

Princess Minfu knows that the imperial concubine and the empress often fight in the palace, but it doesn't mean she is happy to see Ji Chonglian become a victim of their fighting.

One side is her sister-in-law, and the other side is her husband-sister, if something happens to Ji Chonglian, she can't explain it to Ji Chongyu, at this moment Princess Minfu is quite embarrassed.

Ji Chonglian shook her head lightly, and signaled Princess Minfu to stay calm with her eyes.

If she dared to leave now, I'm afraid the empress's anger would immediately turn her gun on her.

Seeing that the queen didn't speak for a while, the imperial concubine smiled sweetly and joked: "Sister, can't you be reluctant?"

The empress snorted lightly, her complexion tightened, and she said in a deep voice, "Bring me that golden hairpin from my palace!"

The two maidservants took the order and left, but after a while, a female official solemnly held a blue velvet brocade box and walked quickly to the queen, and handed it over respectfully.

The queen pointed in the direction of Ji Chonglian, "Show it to Mrs. Pei for a review!"

The female officer was a little surprised, this golden hairpin was usually the empress's favorite thing, even she herself was reluctant to wear it, but now she wants to give it to someone else?
Even though she was thinking this way, the female officer didn't dare to be negligent at all, and hurriedly walked up to Ji Chonglian and sent her respectfully forward, "Madam Pei, please have a look!"

"I... Your Majesty!"

Ji Chonglian's eyes turned to the queen, with a hint of pleading, her hands in her sleeves clenched into fists, if she really opened the brocade box, this situation might be irreparable.

The queen glanced at the imperial concubine coldly, her back teeth were about to clenched tightly, but her face was indifferent, she tried her best to speak to Ji Chonglian in an amiable tone: "The things this palace bestows on you are yours. As Sister Fan said, there is no reason to take back the things that are sent out, Madam Pei is trying to refute this palace's face?"

Losing is not losing, although the queen is also reluctant, but if Ji Chonglian accepts the imperial concubine's things but does not accept her, then what is the dignity of her queen?

The imperial concubine covered her lips and smiled, "Since the empress has said so, Mrs. Pei should open it and take a look!"

"Yes!"

Ji Chonglian sighed in her heart, and slowly loosened the fist in her sleeve, but she felt that her fingers were very heavy, and it was difficult to even buckle the lock on the brocade box.

"Crack"!
After a crisp sound, the lid of the brocade box slowly popped open.

The people around were full of curiosity, and stretched their necks waiting to watch the excitement.

It's just that resplendent glance, everyone was stunned, their eyes were full of surprise and envy, what's more, they couldn't restrain their exclamation.

This is not just a peerless treasure hairpin, it is clearly a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation!

Even Princess Minfu, who was standing beside Ji Chonglian, exclaimed, this kind of craftsmanship inheritance, such ingenious workmanship, but she would never see it in Xiliang.

Ji Chonglian knew the value of this golden hairpin just by glancing at it, and she couldn't help but shudder slightly.

This is a golden hairpin for pavilion figures made from what modern people call "miniature art". The shape of this golden hairpin is like a mountain peak. Various complex techniques such as molding, welding, chiseling, filigree, etc. have been used to create patterns such as pavilions, pavilions, flowers and trees, and various figures, ranging from double-eaved bucket arches and Ruyi-shaped fences to small grass patterns made of gold wire. , are portrayed in detail and are extremely realistic.

Princess Minfu buried her head in counting because she was the closest. There are actually ten characters depicted in the square inch of the pavilion, and each character has a different appearance, clothing, and posture. It can be called a masterpiece of art. !
The reason why Ji Chonglian didn't show as much surprise as the others was because she already had a golden hairpin of this craft in her home, which was given to her by Pei Yan.

It's just that the golden hairpin is not as powerful as the golden hairpin of the empress.

That golden hairpin is in the shape of a mugwort leaf, and the top of the hairpin is piled up with gold threads to form a three-dimensional peony flower. The front of the hairpin is a double pavilion, and there are two people standing on the upper floor, looking down, which makes Ji Chonglian even more fond of it. The reason is that the appearance of these two people is similar to that of their husband and wife, presumably Pei Yan specially asked someone to carve it; and downstairs there are six people holding wats with each other, and they are greeting each other.

The whole branch of gold hairpin is exquisitely decorated and breathtaking, and it is also her favorite collection.

The queen regained a little bit of psychological balance amidst the envy and sighs of the crowd, but seeing Ji Chonglian's too calm face, she naturally felt a little unhappy again, "Could it be possible that Mrs. Pei thinks that this branch of the palace is Is the gold hairpin not enough?"

"The courtiers are terrified!"

Ji Chonglian's complexion changed, and she hurriedly closed the lid of the brocade box, the golden light that filled the room disappeared in an instant, and everyone still felt unfinished, and couldn't help sighing.

"The empress's golden hairpin is the only one I have seen in my life. I really dare not accept such a precious thing. Please take it back!"

Ji Chonglian knelt down as she said that, no matter how beautiful this golden hairpin is, it is not as important as the other one in her heart.

Besides, everyone present today has seen the value of this golden hairpin, I am afraid that what it brings her is not glory, but a series of disasters, she definitely dare not accept it.

Princess Minfu also knelt down, raised her head and said, "Empress, this golden hairpin is so precious, and only the most noble women in the empire are suitable to wear it. If you give it to Mrs. Pei like this, it will break her!"

The imperial concubine's gaze flickered, but her expression darkened slightly.

Ji Chonglian didn't stand in line for a long time, and today's move also meant to force her.

However, her and the queen's early birth during the holidays was an irreconcilable conflict. She said that at the beginning because she just wanted to see what the queen would do!
But if Min Fu is also involved, that is not what she would like to see.

The imperial concubine glanced at Princess Minfu, and sighed slightly in her heart. She never expected that not long after marrying into Ji's family, her younger sister would start to protect them. She really is an extroverted girl!

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine calmed down very quickly, and turned to the queen with a smile, "Sister, my sister just said that at the time, but I didn't expect my sister to believe it. If my sister really gave this precious golden hairpin to Mrs. Pei , my phoenix hairpin looks shabby, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

"Besides, I heard that the emperor gave a precious tribute to my sister not long ago, so I was a little jealous. After seeing this golden hairpin today, my sister knew that the emperor loved her very much. It really is unmatched by other people. what!"

The imperial concubine's compliments and compliments made the queen's heart a little bit tighter. She glanced at His Highness Ji Chonglian and Princess Minfu who were kneeling, and also took advantage of this ladder to go down, "You two get up quickly!" Go! Look at the Princess Kneeling, Concubine Fan Gui felt so distressed, if the Princess really did something good or bad by kneeling, I will not be blamed!"

"Thank you, Empress!"

Ji Chonglian breathed a sigh of relief, and joined hands with Princess Minfu.

The queen's voice sounded again, "Mrs. Pei, if you can't take this golden hairpin, you must take this exquisite jade piece from this palace." Then she unfastened a buckle on her belt.

The Linglong Jade Piece that the Queen spoke of was actually a circular hollowed-out mutton jade tablet, but the small gaps carved in the middle looked like fragments of jade spliced ​​together from a distance. What's more, if it's something made inside, it's even more precious.

The palace maid brought the Linglong Jade Pieces to Ji Chonglian, and she took them with both hands, and thanked the queen solemnly.

Ji Chonglian finally felt a sense of relief after the smoke of gunpowder melted into nothingness, but only when she came back to her senses did she realize that the obscene clothes on her back were completely soaked.

After the bustle here stopped, some other ladies came forward to make fun of them, talking and laughing a few words to reveal what happened just now.

When it was time to leave, the imperial concubine left Princess Minfu alone to talk.

Ji Chonglian is naturally not easy to get involved with other sisters reminiscing about the old days, but thinking of what happened just now, she had to say a few words to Princess Minfu, "I'm afraid your mother will blame you, if so, you can do everything you can later. Push it on me, you don't have to hurt the harmony between you and your empress because of me."

"What did my sister say!"

Princess Minfu frowned slightly, and squeezed Ji Chonglian's hand, "I haven't understood your temper these days with my sister? I don't want to get involved in these things. You are innocently implicated. If your mother If you want to blame later, just blame me!"

"You!"

Ji Chonglian shook her head helplessly, but her heart was slightly warm, "Anyway, you should deal with it well, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

The female officer standing on the side had already looked here frequently, Ji Chonglian said goodbye to Princess Minfu and went their separate ways.
