He turned to Consort Shu and said, "Your Highness, these are all the finest fabrics from the Xia Kingdom, as well as some nourishing ingredients."
As Wang Yuxi spoke, he pulled an exquisite wooden box out of a trunk.
He took the exquisite wooden box, walked to Consort Shu's side, and opened the lid.
Inside the exquisite wooden box was a finely crafted hairpin inlaid with a turquoise.
Although it's not a fancy gemstone.
The carving is exceptionally exquisite.
"Your Highness, please don't underestimate this blue-green stone just because it's not a precious gemstone. It has a very auspicious meaning, representing victory and success, and is known as the 'Stone of Success'."
After Wang Yuxi finished speaking, he glanced around, leaned close to Consort Shu's ear, and deliberately lowered his voice: "I also wish that Your Highness, the Noble Consort, may all your wishes come true, just like the reputation of this jade, and may the pine stone be successfully delivered."
Consort Shu's lips curled slightly as she reached out and took the hairpin in her hand. The entire hairpin was made of silver.
Silver can be used not only as an ornament, but also as a talisman against poison.
The craftsman who made this hairpin had ulterior motives.
A person who wants to gain a foothold in the harem must ultimately avoid various forms of poisoning and assassination.
"Alright." Consort Shu pressed the turquoise hairpin back into the wooden box. "Keep it."
"Yes!" Wang Yuxi bowed with a happy expression. "Then Your Highness, please rest. This servant will take his leave now."
"Xiao Shunzi, go and see off Eunuch Yu Xi," Consort Shu called out.
"Oh, Your Highness, you're too kind. There's no need to trouble Eunuch Xiao Shunzi. If there's anything lacking in Qiluan Garden in the future, just let someone know, and this servant will certainly take care of it for you," Yu Xi flattered.
Knowing that Wang Yuxi had just stepped out of the gate of Qiluan Garden.
Bin'er couldn't help but spit in the direction Wang Yuxi had left: "Pah! You snobbish bastard."
"Bin'er, come in with me." Consort Shu's face didn't show much expression, but it made Bin'er shiver involuntarily.
Because she knew in her heart that Consort Shu was angry.
It was because she had been by Consort Shu's side since childhood that she understood her temperament so well.
Even just a glance.
Bin'er could clearly tell what she was thinking.
She had just followed Consort Shu into the palace when she quickly closed the door and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness, please spare me! This servant knows his mistake and begs Your Highness for mercy."
Consort Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head in surprise and glanced down at Bin'er: "What are you doing?"
Bin'er's brow twitched: "Your Majesty, Bin'er shouldn't have argued with Wang Yuxi, but... but when I think of how Your Majesty was pregnant before, shivering in the freezing cold, Qiluan Garden couldn't even get some charcoal from the Imperial Household Department. Even when they did get it, it was damp charcoal that was choking and unusable."
Bin'er spoke angrily, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Consort Shu's expression faltered for a moment.
How could she not remember this?
On that snowy night, she was so cold that she was shivering all over, and she developed a high fever in the early morning.
In that situation, even if the imperial physicians were summoned, none of them would dare to come.
She was pregnant but dared not take any medication without consulting a doctor.
In addition, the room was so cold that the water in the cup froze.
Although she didn't know how Bin'er finally managed to get those damp charcoal embers.
Although the charcoal fire was very pungent.
But in the end, it was those charcoal fires that kept her going.
