Chapter 113: Sending Headwear 1
Hearing the call from behind, Shen Yu stopped and turned around. It was Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen held his hat with one hand and a dustpan with the other, and behind him followed a little eunuch holding a brocade box.
Eunuch Chen ran to Shen Yu, panting.
"Eunuch Chen," Shen Yu nodded politely.
Eunuch Chen was a servant in front of the emperor and the closest person to Emperor Showa. It was likely that Emperor Showa trusted this eunuch who had been with him for many years more than his younger brother Chen Yu.
Chen Yu naturally understood this truth. He treated them equally and with courtesy without discrimination. "Eunuch Chen, what is it that you want to stop me?"
Eunuch Chen stroked his chest. He was old and after being tormented like this, it was inevitable that he would be out of breath. "Luckily I made it in time. If the prince had left the palace, I would have had to make an extra trip."
"When the Imperial Concubine learned that the Prince had returned, she wanted to come and thank the Prince in person. Unfortunately, the Imperial Concubine has not been feeling well these past few days, so she sent a servant to come and thank the Prince."
Shen Yu knew clearly that the Imperial Concubine wanted to thank him only for taking care of Shen Lingge at the border.
"Qinghe is my nephew. I will definitely take good care of him."
"Of course, it is precisely because the Imperial Concubine knows that the Prince is kind that she is relieved to hand the eldest prince over to the Prince for training."
As he spoke, Eunuch Chen turned sideways and waved his hand. The young eunuch behind him immediately stepped forward, bending over, holding the brocade box.
"This is the young eunuch serving the imperial concubine," Eunuch Chen opened the lid of the brocade box, revealing a very luxurious headdress.
There are a total of 19 pieces in this set of headwear, which are decorated with rubies as a whole, and decorated with butterfly and floral patterns through stitching and inlaying techniques. It is the most popular style nowadays and is also a headwear that girls will like when they see it.
Not only does it look dazzling, but what the imperial concubine took out is naturally very expensive.
The Imperial Concubine was generous to someone she had never met. Chen Yu probably knew what the Imperial Concubine meant, but still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Eunuch Chen, what does this mean?"
Eunuch Chen put the lid back on. "The Imperial Concubine learned from the eldest prince's letter that there is another Miss Xu who took good care of the eldest prince at the border. I heard that this girl has now followed the prince into the imperial city. The Imperial Concubine gave Miss Xu this set of headgear to express her gratitude."
Chen Yu didn't expect the Imperial Concubine to be so generous. "In that case, I will accept it on behalf of Miss Xu. Please, Master, thank the Imperial Concubine for me."
"You are too polite, Your Majesty."
Chen Yu picked up the purse on his body and took out a handful of golden melon seeds from it.
Speaking of the golden melon seeds, after they annihilated Songfeng Village the day before, Xu Zhao rummaged through the box and packed a bag for him. Unexpectedly, they came in handy now.
"Thank you for your hard work in making this trip, eunuch." Since this set of headgear was for Xu Zhao, Shen Yu was happy to give him a reward, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his face.
When Eunuch Chen saw Shen Yu holding the purse, he knew that he was going to give him a reward, so he immediately extended his hand.
As the eunuch in charge of the palace, he received countless rewards, which was justified for him. However, he was still polite: "Thank you very much for the reward, Your Majesty." After saying that, he put a handful of gold melon seeds into his sleeves.
After receiving the money, Eunuch Chen was naturally very happy. He instructed the eunuch beside him, "Send this gift to the prince's mansion. Be careful not to bump into it. Watch your skin."
"Yes, don't worry, sir. I know."
"Everything has been explained. Your Majesty is still waiting for me to serve you, so I will take my leave first." Eunuch Chen took the money and his attitude became much better.
Chen Yu nodded, "Take care, sir."
Shen Yu led the young eunuch and turned around, going in the opposite direction from Eunuch Chen.
As for Xu Zhao, after separating from Shen Yu at the city gate, Xu Zhao's carriage followed the team of Mobei envoys.
At this moment, the city is welcoming the prince's triumphant return, so naturally no one would care about a princess from a defeated country.
Upon seeing this, the Mobei envoy Jirimutu was naturally not in a hurry to enter the city, but waited outside the city, waiting for officials sent by the Yue Kingdom to receive them.
Xu Zhao lifted the curtain and looked at the Imperial City of Yue Kingdom. The appearance was not much different from the Imperial City of Yu Dynasty in the film and television city. However, the city walls should not be much different either. I just wonder if there is a big difference inside?
After the establishment of Yu Dynasty, it still used the imperial capital of Yue Kingdom.
It’s just that the Yu Dynasty Imperial City in the film and television city was mostly based on historical books.
Now she has the opportunity to see the prosperity of the imperial city with her own eyes.
Even though Mobei was a defeated country, the Yue Kingdom still sent the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to welcome them.
Mo Bei and his group followed the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple into the imperial city of Yue Kingdom.
"Miss Xu, the envoy from Mobei has entered the city." The coachman said to Xu Zhao in the carriage.
"Let's go in too."
The Mobei envoys followed the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to the embassy specially set up for the Mobei envoys.
The Yue Kingdom established an embassy for each country. In order to make the envoys feel at home, the decorations in the embassy were arranged by the Honglu Temple after referring to the styles of various countries.
After arranging the group, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple said to Jirimutu, "Please wait patiently. I will go to the palace to report to your majesty. The envoys from Mobei have safely checked into the embassy. I think your majesty will receive the envoys and the princess soon."
Even envoys are not allowed to enter the palace to meet the emperor without his majesty's summons.
"Thank you, Shaoqing."
One of them performed the etiquette of Mobei, and the other performed the etiquette of Yue Kingdom.
Xu Zhao's carriage entered the city, and the driver asked, "Miss Xu, where are we going now?"
First, he followed the Mobei envoy into the city, but it would be inappropriate to continue following him.
"Let's go back to the palace first!"
Xu Zhao planned to get to know the way first and find out where the palace was.
It is estimated that Chen Yu will not come out of the palace so soon, so she can take a good look around the Yue Kingdom Imperial City.
"Okay, sit down, girl."
The driver drove very steadily. He originally came from the palace and followed the prince to fight on the front line. He was very familiar with the location of the palace. And precisely because he was a trusted person, Shen Yu felt relieved to let Xu Zhao follow him into the city.
The location of the prince's mansion is close to the imperial palace, in Xingdaofang, which is the best location in the imperial city. Most of the people living in the square are princes, nobles, and dignitaries, and no one can afford to offend them.
It would take almost an hour to get from the city gate to Xingdaofang by horse carriage. Xu Zhao took this time to take a short rest, as she would be going out shopping later and had to make sure she had enough energy.
"Miss Xu, we are here."
The driver was shouting outside through the curtain.
Confusedly, Xu Zhao opened his dazed eyes and said, "Okay!"
She stretched out in the car and slept against the wall. Her neck was stiff from sleeping, and when she turned her neck, it made a slight creaking sound.
She put on her cloak, stood up, and opened the curtain. The coachman had already put out the stool for dismounting, but she ignored it and jumped off the carriage.
"Be careful, girl!" The driver was startled.
