When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. Even Shangguan Shu couldn't help but feel curious. If Wei Fu, that lowly husband, was going to give a gift, shouldn't he give Zhao Ying?
Is he attracted to Zhao Yao?
Shangguan Shu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his gaze towards Wei Fu was not so cold anymore.
I wish I could just ask: The man is willing to be a vegetarian for half his life, in exchange for the two of them getting married...
Others, however, have tasted the flavor.
Is this Marquis Xuanping also trying to curry favor with Princess Huaian?
Could it be that he got some news and knew that the Eastern Palace had completely lost its power?
The Xian Wang and his wife and the Liang Wang and his wife were so excited that the Liang Wang's hand trembled and the wine spilled from the glass.
If we can get help from the Wei family, it will be even more powerful!
Zhao Yao was stunned when she heard this. With the same idea as everyone else, she looked at Zhao Ying provocatively.
His eyes seemed to be saying, see, even the Wei family won’t help you.
Zhao Yao then looked at Wei Fu.
He was dressed in an official robe, handsome and strong.
Zhao Yao has always had complicated feelings towards Wei Fu.
Although she doesn't love him, she really wants to conquer him!
Because ever since she could remember, he had been taking good care of Zhao Ying, and she wanted everything that belonged to Zhao Ying.
If the man who always favored Zhao Ying suddenly favored her, just like now... Zhao Yao only felt a heat flowing through her limbs and bones, her heartbeat accelerated, and she felt so good.
At the top, Emperor Jianxi was puzzled: "Oh? What do you want to give me, my dear minister?"
Wei Fu reported, "Your Majesty, the gifts I present are merely local specialties. Princess Huai'an's three sons and daughters are all from the Great Yuezhi, so I'm sure they will like them!"
And also cater to their needs...
When everyone heard this, they became more certain of their guess.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ying with a hint of sympathy.
I originally thought that Princess Chengqian still had Wei Fu after losing the Duke of Zhenguo, but who knew that Wei Fu also...
Alas, it seems that the East Palace is really in jeopardy...
Zhao Ying ignored the gazes of others and instead looked lovingly at Shangguan Qingyue across from her. Hmm, her little girl was so adorable, she really wanted to hold her in her arms and cuddle her...
Zhao Zihua, who had always been a reserved person, stood up upon seeing this and excitedly said to Wei Fu, "What did Uncle Wei bring? Why didn't he let someone bring it up for us to see? I'm dying of curiosity!"
The little girl behaved innocently, which made everyone smile knowingly.
Zhao Yao laughed and scolded Zhao Zihua, "You're so rude!"
"Don't worry, I'll bring it up right away!"
Wei Fu was very supportive and clapped his hands. Then three young eunuchs came in one after another carrying wooden tables.
He stood beside Wei Fu, who walked over, took the things from the wooden table, and handed them to everyone one by one.
Huyan Xue received a pair of bracelets strung with white beads.
The material of the white bead was surprisingly unlike the jade jewels you'd usually see. It was completely translucent white, with a faint green haze hiding within it, which only accentuated its whiteness. Without a single impurity, the white bead shone brightly in the sunlight, like a morning star dotted among them.
When touched, the warmth of jade and pearls, unlike the cold ones, seems to have spirituality.
It’s really a good thing!
The people present had seen many rare treasures, but they had never seen such clean and white stones, and in a whole bunch, round and full... The ladies looked at them with amazement and envy.
Zhao Yao glanced and thanked Hu Yanxue on behalf of Hu Yanxue who was unable to speak.
Wei Fu exchanged a few words of greeting and handed Zhao Ziyan a small bow.
It was nothing special, except for a few more gems on it. It was a little more delicate and compact than an ordinary crossbow.
Zhao Ziyan looked dissatisfied, but was forced to thank Zhao Yao with a warning look.
Zhao Zihua couldn't wait any longer and urged Wei Fu, "Uncle Wei, where's mine?"
Wei Fu smiled calmly, less surly and mean as usual, "Don't worry, little princess. Yours is the last one, so it's definitely the best."
Zhao Zihua was even more excited.
The next second, Wei Fu handed her a small drum the size of a palm.
It's exquisite and beautiful, and you can tell at first glance that little girls would like it.
Zhao Zihua hurriedly took it and looked at it excitedly. Her enthusiasm was not only because she liked the gift, but also because she wanted everyone to see how precious and favored she, Zhao Zihua, was!
Ever since the last Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Zhao Zihua was tortured by Shangguan Qingyue's "popularity" and became mentally ill, always thinking about revenge.
Especially today, when she saw her beloved "daddy" holding the little mute in his arms, she became even more angry.
Wei Fu slightly curved his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Zihua.
His attitude naturally pleased Zhao Yao, but aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Jianxi.
But he doesn't show it!
How can the emperor allow others to guess his mind?
He is not dead yet!
Are these people going to be dishonest?
Lord Wu, who was in a good mood, began to flatter Zhao Yao again, flattering Zhao Yao and the three children so much that they lost their minds.
Zhao Yao asked Wei Fu, "Marquis Xuanping, how is this thing made? Why is it so beautiful?"
She was talking about the beads on Hu Yanxue's wrist, which she had already put on.
This is exactly what Wei Fu was waiting for.
Wei Fu took a deep breath, looked at Hu Yanxue, and said excitedly, "Miss Xue, do the beads feel very comfortable and intimate to the touch?"
Hu Yanxue was puzzled and nodded subconsciously.
Wei Fu smiled with satisfaction, and then a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
He said casually, "Of course, because this bead... was made from your father's skull..."
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent and their smiles froze.
Except for Zhao Ying, everyone curled their lips.
Wei Fu smiled innocently yet wickedly, "Your father, the old Xiongnu king, Princess Huai'an should know that he loved taking pills when he was alive, so his bone powder is particularly bright white. Other people's bones used to grind beads wouldn't look this good!"
