Unparalleled Women in the World

Prime Minister's Mansion, Hanxiang Garden.

On the red lacquer carved tray, there are eight blue and white cloud pattern balm powder boxes.

Chi Jiayan uncovered the small porcelain covers one by one, and found a wonderfully light, jade-like powder. He stretched out his index finger and dabbed it lightly, and his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of powder. He was close to everything Take a closer look, or sniff lightly, or twirl your fingers, and after a while, you can only hear him softly praise:

"The texture is delicate, the color is like a peach blossom, the luster is soft and bright, and the fragrance is striking. The quality of the powder of Xiehongju this time is not bad!"

The man standing beside him was around [-] years old with delicate features. He smiled and said, "Peach pollen powder, pearl powder, pear powder, jade powder, flower moon powder, beauty's smile... can I get all of them?"

Chi Jiayan glanced at him, then nodded with a smile: "You, the manager of Xiehongju, know how to do business!"

"Then let's have one of each!" Chi Jiayan turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on the tray in the hands of the waiter beside him. There were small flat pastel porcelain vases, small blue and white porcelain vases with thin necks, small single-glazed porcelain vases with lotus patterns, and ice flakes Small cracked porcelain vases... He counted them, and there were twelve styles. Interested, he pursed his lips and said with a smile:

"These are the best fragrant dew you pick from Hongjuli?"

Confidence appeared on the face of the steward of Xiehongju, and he replied: "The best sellers are rose dew, rose dew, sweet-scented osmanthus dew, and agarwood dew. The fragrance is strong and the fragrance lasts for a long time..."

Chi Jiayan picked up a small blue and white porcelain bottle with a thin neck, pulled out the plug, and sniffed lightly: "How long is the fragrance?"

"Osmanthus dew and agarwood dew are the most stable. It has been more than half an hour, and rose dew has been there for half an hour!"

Chi Jiayan sniffed everything, and finally he only picked a rose dew.

The steward of Xiehongju was slightly disappointed: "Why is this the only one? In the past, you have to try everything!"

Chi Jiayan shook his head: "It's not as good as the second sister's Magnolia fragrance, it's fresh and fragrant, and the fragrance lasts for a long time..."

The sky is warm and the breeze is blowing.

Chi Jiayan stepped up to the stone bridge on the lake, walked through the winding paths among the flowers and trees, and came to Jinghezhai not long after.

The two maidservants were pruning the flowers and branches in front of the court, Chi Jiayan opened his lips: "Is the second sister here?"

The maid bowed and said, "Second Miss is at Songquan Xiaoxie."

Songquan Xiaoxie is surrounded by land on one side and water on three sides. Several willows on the lake bank are dancing with the wind.

When Chi Jiayan came to Songquan Xiaoxie, Chi Yanfei was concentrating on carving the small statue in his hand.

Chi Jiayan leaned forward, and Chi Yanfei noticed that he was peeking, so he quickly raised his hand and lifted the small wooden statue up.

Chi Jiayan only glanced at it just now, and it was vaguely an outstanding figure, but he didn't see the whole picture, neither male nor female, so he couldn't help feeling sorry: "Second sister, show me!"

Chi Yanfei stuffed the small portrait into his arms, and refused: "This one won't work, you can pick the one on the case!"

Chi Jiayan shook his head, so he had to turn his eyes away, and landed on the long huanghuali table in the center. He saw that there were various carved ornaments placed on it, with different materials, including green bamboo, heavy wood, beautiful jade, finished products, and semi-finished products. There are realistic figure paintings, and there are also picturesque landscapes...

Chi Jiayan stepped forward, looked at it again and again, and finally picked a smoky hibiscus jade sculpture. The petals are bright in color, the shape is natural and lifelike, exquisite and eye-catching, it is a rare gem!He smiled with satisfaction: "Second sister, you have been carving for so long, and you won't let me see it, so you can't be your sweetheart?"

Chi Yanfei didn't answer but instead asked, "What's the matter, are you here?"

Chi Jiayan frowned: "The one who knows me is the second sister!"

"The Xiehongju is also known as the best in the capital, and the fragrance dew it makes is far inferior to the Mulan fragrance dew made by the second sister!"

"Can you give me this magnolia dew?"

Chi Yanfei opened her lips: "No!"

"I'm your brother?"

"If you want it, go to Wangqing and see if she is willing to do it for you!"

Chi Jiayan pouted her lips: "Forget it! I don't want to bother that girl with the broken sleeve!"

Chi Yanfei thought of Mei Wangqing's heart warming, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you appreciate Wangqing before?"

Chi Jiayan muttered softly, and said, "I thought it was a water lotus, but I didn't expect it to be a deadly flower..."

Chi Yanfei frowned, and said warmly, "Wangqing is fine, she is not what you think!"

"Hey! Let's not talk about that dead Duanxiu... let's talk about your sweetheart?"

Chi Yanfei looked at him speechlessly, my sweetheart is what you call Duanxiu!

Chi Jiayan didn't understand her eyes, and pressed his lips together: "Tell me, who is it?"

At this time, there were messy and eager footsteps on the floor of the water pavilion. Chi Yanfei opened his eyes and saw that the steward of the mansion had already stepped forward, and said in his mouth:

"Second Miss, Third Young Master, the palace servants are here..."

"Do you know what the so-called thing is?"

The steward looked at Chi Yanfei carefully, and replied, "Give a marriage to the second lady!"

Chi Jiayan gritted his teeth and cursed: "This hateful Ji Xiaoliu!"

Chi Yanfei's face darkened, and he turned around and left the Songquan Xiaoxie.

The main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already wide open, and an incense table was placed in the main hall of Ruishou Hall.

The prime minister, Chi Zhen, put on a purple scarlet robe and embroidered peony official uniform. She had a serious expression and knelt on the ground. Behind her were her daughter-in-law Chi Yanfei and son-in-law Chi Jiayan in the first row, and the eldest daughter Chi Ruoqing in the second row. The fourth daughter Chi Wenhua, the fifth concubine Chi Bifu, the sixth concubine Chi Xiangmei, and the third row were Chi Zhen's servants.

Except for the main husband who paid homage to the Buddha, all the main people in the mansion had arrived, the servant who announced the decree cleared her throat, and she announced the decree loudly:

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: My sixth son, the emperor, has reached the age of ji, with a beautiful appearance, gentle and courteous, and when he is married, he should marry a virtuous woman as his husband. Specially bestow the sixth son of the emperor with the title: Emperor Minghui. I heard that the prime minister Chi Yanfei, Chi Zhen's first daughter, has outstanding appearance, both civil and military skills, honesty and humility. The queen mother and I are very happy to hear about it. Chi Yanfei is of the right age and has not been married. She is the concubine of Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty. Choose another auspicious day for her to get married. Announce it at home and abroad, so that the envoys can hear about it. I respect you."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone present had different expressions, some were jealous, some were cold-eyed, some were pleased, some were angry...

Chi Yanfei's face was stiff and cold, and his eyes had a faint cold light.Her upper body was straight and straight, but her lower body was still kneeling, neither thanking her nor accepting orders.

In front of the incense table, the servant holding the imperial decree had an ugly expression on her face, and she called out: "Miss Chi, hurry up and receive the imperial decree to thank you!"

Chi Zhen's eyebrows crooked, and she said sharply, "Yan Fei, quickly receive the order!"

Chi Yanfei still knelt on the ground without moving, as quiet as a stone statue.Chi Jiayan next to her was full of admiration and worry, and her faint sense of curiosity increased. Who is the person who makes the second sister remember her and resists her order?Alas, he really wanted to see him last time!

Prime Minister Chi looked at her for a long while, then got up with a cold face, stepped forward to talk to the servant in a soft voice, and after finishing his good words, he ordered the steward to stuff gold and silver. The servant accepted it with a smile, and she was also To give Chi Xiang face, his face was sullen and he didn't get angry, his eyes just looked at Chi Yanfei quietly.

Chi Yanfei finally got up, she patted her robe, and said lightly: "Don't embarrass you, I'll go with you into the palace to face the saint!" After finishing speaking, she walked towards the gate of the mansion, and Chi Yanfei came from behind her. Zhen scolded in disbelief:

"You disregard the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, resist the order and fail to obey it, you deserve death!"

"You rebellious girl! Come back to me!!!"
