My money-loving little lady

"Yes, the workmanship of this hairpin is very fine, and it is even more dazzling when worn on the Queen's head. Yao'er doesn't have any hobbies at ordinary times. He just likes to collect some interesting gems, different jewelry, and patterns.

Then send someone to make it. My dear, look, the hosta on Yao'er's head was ground out by me, and the shape was designed by myself. Isn't it quite unique and elegant?"

She deliberately attracted the Queen's attention and touched the hairpin on the left side of her head while touching the hosta on the right side. She did not mention the hairpin on her head that the late Emperor gave to Fu Ronghua as a coming-of-age gift.

Huan. Sure enough, Queen Sima looked at Jing Rongyao uneasily, looking this way and then that way. Queen Sima was also very nervous because of her troubles, and interrupted her words stammeringly,

"Ah yes, yes, your craftsmanship is indeed good. Ah! By the way, which craftsman made this hairpin ring on your head? This hairpin is very exquisite, I like it very much."

"Oh? Is this the one the Queen is talking about?" Jing Rongyao said in a long voice, pretending to be confused, as if she was pretending to be a pig eating a tiger, and then she took off the hairpin and put it in her hand.

.

"Ah, I heard from my mother that this hairpin is a unique crabapple hairpin ring specially made by the first craftsman of the late emperor. It is said that it was a gift to celebrate my mother's coming of age ceremony. My mother had been wearing it as a dowry before she got sick.

Later, I put it on hold because of my physical discomfort. Did your Majesty forget it? My mother also said before that the wooden box for carrying the dowry was made by His Majesty. Yaoer is still thinking about how exquisite this box is and how it is made.

It's a technology from the empress's hometown, so I thought the empress was also involved in the production." Jing Rongyao pretended to look at her like a little white rabbit. When she mentioned it, Empress Sima was stunned for a moment and stammered.

"Ah, I was not a queen at the time, so I didn't know much about this matter. Although this technique is relatively unpopular in the capital, not everyone knows it. The Queen Mother and Concubine Hui should all have it.

What I heard."

"Yes, Yao'er thinks so too. The box must have been customized by the Queen Mother." Jing Rongyao did not dwell on the topic and pursed her lips with a smile, "This tea is really good, it must be a new tea."

"Yes, it's this year's new tea." The queen could not sit still at this time. When she asked, she said casually.

"My mother also loves tea very much and has a lot of good tea in her collection. However, the imperial doctor did not allow her to drink more after she fell ill, for fear that the cold would hurt her body. It is good for my mother to love tea, but she should also be careful to drink less and more.

Scented tea and ginseng tea are better." Jing Rongyao said obediently, and pointed to Yunxi with another look. Yunxi quickly took out a small package from his sleeve and handed it over.

"This is the health-preserving scented tea prepared by Yao'er. It tastes sweet and fragrant, but also has the astringency of tea. You can try it, if you like it, Yao'er will send it to you in a while."

"Okay, I'll help you. By the way, since this hairpin was given by Your Majesty, it is a royal treasure. Even though the eldest princess passed this hairpin ring to you, you have to protect it and wear it less in the future.

Well, if it gets damaged, it will be an insult to the late emperor's last wish and a very disrespectful thing." Sima Ruozhao said to her in a persuasive and warning tone, for fear that she would discover the secret after wearing it for a while.

.

"What the empress said is that Yao'er is young and ignorant, so he will definitely listen to the empress's teachings." Hearing what she said, Jing Rongyao pretended to be frightened, put down her tea cup and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing her being so well-behaved, Sima Ruozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "I remind you like this because you are my niece. When you are young, you always like to show off some luxurious things, but you have to know

Don’t get confused about your identity.”

"Yao'er, thank you for your teaching." Jing Rongyao looked well-behaved on the outside, but was very speechless on the inside. My dear, is this an ancient version of PUA? Do you think I'm a fool? Pretend, don't pretend like I do. Aren't you afraid?

I know you made my mother encourage me not to touch this hairpin.

After she perfunctoryly dealt with the queen, she was sent out of the palace. Before leaving, the queen pretended to like her very much, gave her a cart full of gifts, and invited her to come back to the palace tomorrow and the day after.

As the carriage slowly drove away, Jing Rongyao breathed a sigh of relief, and the standard smile she used to greet her gradually became more serious.

"Yunxi."

"My servant is here." Yun Xi opened the curtain, "What can I do, Miss?"

"Come up and talk."

After Yunxi got on the carriage, Jing Rongyao stroked the bead string in her hand.

"Do you think Sima Ruozhao has something going on in his heart?"

"The queen is indeed not feeling right today. She invited you to the palace before she even mentioned the pearl hairpin. She said it was just to chat about family matters, but after the conversation, she didn't take the initiative to talk about a few topics. Instead, she kept talking.

Staring at the hairpin on the lady's head, it looks like..."

"It looks like you just invited me to chat because of that hairpin, right?" Jing Rongyao smiled slightly, showing a clear understanding.
