Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

When the deacon and eunuch opened the small box of red sandalwood, the precious light flickered in the room. Everyone was attracted by the colorful crystal bracelet inside.

The bracelet was sent to Xiao Yunyan. She didn't know what was so surprising about this bracelet?

After all, her family in her previous life was an aristocratic family that had been passed down for thousands of years. As the most valued eldest daughter, she has received countless treasures since she was a child.

However, she usually goes on missions and doesn't like to wear any decorations on her body. Except for the jade gourd that would automatically return to her neck when taken off, she had no other jewelry on her body.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone full of envy, jealousy, and even hatred, Xiao Yunyan looked calm and respectfully accepted the reward from her father.

Her personal maid immediately took the treasure box of the colorful crystal bracelet on a tray. Then he put the gift box in Xiao Yunyan's hand.

Xiao Yunyan opened the box, and inside was a gift for the emperor.

It was a cloak made of silver fox fur lining, silver brocade as the surface, silver thread embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and a circle of silver fox fur on the collar, placket and hem.

This cloak is sewn using a hidden stitch method, so the stitches are not visible at all. The workmanship is extremely exquisite.

The emperor asked the eunuch to put it on him on the spot. He walked around in front of everyone.

This cloak makes the emperor more elegant and handsome than the cloak made by the royal palace's workshop. Looking at the length and weight, it fits perfectly.

The emperor liked this cloak very much. He said that this cloak is suitable for wearing regular clothes when going out in winter. It not only makes him appear noble, but also suitable for hiding his true identity.

Xiao Yunyan felt a little more affection for this discerning emperor's father-in-law. Xiao Yunyan picked up the second cup of tea and presented it to the queen, her mother-in-law.

The gift the queen gave her was a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing. It covers an area of ​​3,000 acres, with orchards, fields and vegetable plots. It was a self-sufficient village. This is a rare place.

The queen gave her another pair of jade bracelets. Glass imperial green grade. It is the kind of treasure that wealthy people are reluctant to take with them, lock it in their private vaults, and carefully collect it.

Xiao Yunyan smiled and wanted to take the gift, but the queen grabbed her wrist and put the bracelet on her hand.

This affectionate and doting gesture tells other concubines that her daughter-in-law is a valuable person. Not to mention the blind one, she took one of the worthless broken bracelets off her hand and put it on the hand of her beloved daughter-in-law. You are willing to give it, but we are not willing to take it. We are afraid of being embarrassed if we wear it!

The queen's actions made the concubines below feel angry. Isn’t that just marrying a wife? What the hell is this?

The queen received a gift in return, a screen embroidered with peacock feathers and bird feathers, with the pattern of birds facing the phoenix.

It is really cleverly conceived and the embroidery work is superb. The double-sided embroidery pattern has two patterns when viewed from both sides. Under the light, the natural brilliance of the bird's feathers shines, and it actually feels lifelike.

The sounds of admiration are endless and pleasant. The queen naturally likes to find treasures. She immediately ordered people to put out the large screen framed by golden nanmu.

With the colorful crystal bracelet given by the emperor and left by the late empress dowager, symbolizing the status of the crown princess, and the empress' hot spring village with the best jade bracelet to start, it is difficult for others to take out Taichi's gifts.

The elders took out the high-end one from the two levels of gifts prepared in advance and gave it to Xiao Yuntian as a meeting gift.

Among them, Concubine Xian gave her a box of fine pearls. Her natal family was an imperial merchant, and they had merchant ships that went overseas and could always bring her back the best pearls.

This box contains thirty natural pearls about two centimeters in diameter, which are close to a perfect round shape and are considered fine products. This is a valuable piece of jewelry worth three thousand taels of silver, which is very valuable.

The queen glanced at it with a slight disdain. This broken bead is really suitable for sending away to the ladies of the official families below the third rank.

However, it would be a bit shabby to give it to the princess who was the granddaughter of the Duke's palace.

What Concubine De gave to Xiao Yunyan was a set of gold-inlaid agate hair and face, which was quite satisfactory. The value is also around three thousand taels.

Concubine De's family is from a Qingliu family, and it is already a big deal to be able to show off such a figure.

Although, over the years, the emperor has continued to give rewards to various palace concubines, and they are all owners of rich private treasury.

However, many things cannot be freely given to the princess because they do not comply with regulations.

From their dowry, they took out valuable jewelry that did not have the royal palace mark and complied with the regulations. They took this meeting gift very seriously!

The queen's eyes were a little surprised, this Concubine De had a cold temperament. This time she really values ​​her daughter-in-law! Is it to show a good attitude?

The greeting gifts for other concubines will not exceed those of concubines of the previous rank. The value is probably between 2,500 taels and 2,000 taels.

Xiao Yunyan made a small fortune. However, Xiao Yunyan's return gift was very popular.

Men mostly wear very rare fur cloaks. Women are all exquisitely crafted artistic embroidery pieces, which are valuable. There is not much difference in price between the return gift and the gift you received.

This is all due to the fact that Xiao Yunyan's maternal family, the Yun family, is a wealthy businessman. The Yun family runs the largest silk weaving factory in Beichuan and a chain of embroidery workshops in various places. Business is spread all over Middle-earth.

Being able to get a silk handkerchief with a lotus mark from Fang Yunji Embroidery Studio is a good thing that a noble lady in the capital must show off.

The embroiderers in Yunjia Embroidery Workshop are divided into five levels. From lowest to highest they are: chrysanthemum, plum blossom, orchid, peony, lotus.

The embroiderers at each level are trained from an early age, selected step by step, and finally selected as masters of embroidery skills.

Each embroiderer must embroider her own level flower mark on her work.

Lotus level is the highest level, and a silk handkerchief is worth a hundred taels of silver.

Therefore, the faces of the concubines who received the large embroidery made of lotus-labeled silk looked happy. If you usually want to buy an embroidery piece like this, you have to wait for several months or even a year to get it.

The scene of everyone being so friendly and affectionate made Xiao Yunyan, a modern person, sigh in her heart: Anyone who can compete for a position in the palace should not be underestimated. Everyone has several faces. Switch freely when facing different people. It is really comparable to the unique skill of Sichuan Opera - face changing.

For example, the mother-in-law of the third prince had a calm and calm expression in front of others, which really made Xiao Yuntian secretly give her a thumbs up.

This is a cruel person. His second child is also a prince. Children as young as six months old can use it to make chess pieces. She resorted to tricks and pretended to be killed by her opponent, but she was stillborn.

The poor baby helped her in the palace fight, and was protected by the emperor in a weak and bullying manner.

From then on, she and the third prince were viewed by others as carefree sects who had no intention of competing for the throne. In fact, it is secretly cultivating power. Mother and son kept a low profile and bided their time. Look forward to 'the mantis stalking the cicada, the oriole behind', retain your strength and achieve the final victory.

Xiao Yunyan looked at everyone present with her yin and yang eyes. Except that the emperor has dragon energy to protect his body, it can't be seen clearly. She knew almost everything about other people's characters and knew them well.
