Chapter 1778: One after another, who can bear this?
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xian and said quickly, "Look at what I gave you."
She didn't think that the gift Tang Bao gave her was more valuable than the one she gave to Concubine Xian.
After all, in this regard, Tangbao has always treated everyone equally.
The virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine had been bickering for years, and she almost immediately understood what the virtuous concubine meant. She did not care about the commanding tone of the virtuous concubine and quickly opened her box.
The box contains a complete set of top-quality jadeite and gold-sprinkled headpieces!
Concubine Shu: “…”
It's gold sprinkling!
Consort Xian: “…”
It turned out to be gold sprinkling!
"This is my favorite color and style..." Concubine Xian stared at the headpiece in the box with her eyes wide open, muttering, "Tang Tangran knows me best. This is specially prepared for me..."
The Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine were surprised and opened their boxes one after another.
"Mine is purple jade!" The imperial concubine also shouted out.
She likes purple best!
Then came the voice of Concubine De.
"Mine is white jade!"
White is pure and flawless and is her favorite color.
The ladies looked at the contents of their boxes, and were so moved and shocked that they looked at each other in surprise.
They were very sure that even in the palace, there was no jade jewelry of this quality.
Logically speaking, the best things in the world must be in the palace.
Even if some of them were hidden privately by wealthy people, it would be impossible for them to hide so much at once.
After all, this kind of top-quality jade jewelry is not easy to come by.
Even putting together a complete set is extremely difficult.
Now, Tangbao actually sent so many sets at once.
Several ladies thought of something and looked at the other concubines.
The other concubines also quickly opened the boxes in their hands, revealing the jewelry inside.
Of course, compared to the four concubines' boxes which contained a complete set of jade face masks, the boxes of the other concubines were missing a few pieces of jewelry.
However, without exception, they are all carved from the finest jade.
The box is full of brilliance and light.
"Isn't this too much?" Concubine Shu said in disbelief.
Since when has this kind of rare jade become so common in the streets?
She didn't want to say that she was unsophisticated, but she had never seen so many exquisite jewels.
As the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless.
The jade in each box is priceless.
The virtuous concubine also murmured, "The colors are so complete..."
"The water is still so good..." The imperial concubine also said to herself.
Even though she had been in charge of the six palaces for many years and had seen countless fine things, she had never seen jewelry of this quality.
For a moment, the dazzling array of jewelry of various colors almost blocked out the light in the entire room.
A group of noble women, holding the boxes in their hands, were all asking in their hearts:
Where did Tangtang get so many top-quality jade jewelry in various colors?
He gave them so much so easily, how much does Tangtang have in her hands?
"Even if a jade mine is discovered, I'm afraid we won't be able to mine so much top-quality jade, right?" said Concubine Shu.
She originally thought that Tang Bao had discovered the jade mine by accident.
But whose jade mine can produce so many top-quality jades of different colors at once?
That's impossible!
They've never seen water like this before, right?!
The Empress looked at Concubine Shu and said nothing.
But I thought to myself: What's a jade mine? Those are mountains of jade!
Of course, the Queen Mother would not say this out loud.
Some things have too much impact.
For the sake of world stability and harmony, it cannot be revealed easily.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following a shrill "hello", Emperor Zhengde walked in with the speed of a puff of wind.
The Queen Mother quickly led a group of concubines to greet them.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
"No need to be polite!"
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand.
Then, he looked with burning eyes at several large boxes on the ground that had not been opened.
A group of concubines straightened up and followed the emperor's gaze, looking at the big box on the ground.
Tangtang gave them all good things of this quality, so how valuable must the things in these boxes be?
A group of ladies suddenly felt that all their vision and education over the years had been in vain.
They were actually shocked and astonished by such vulgar things...
Ever since they met the little girl Tangtang, they seemed to have become superficial...
but--
These shocking and bizarre things happen one after another. Who can bear it?
"Where's Jin'er's letter?" Emperor Zhengde asked the Empress directly, "What's in the letter?"
He read Tang Bao's letter, but did not receive a letter or gift from his biological son.
I just feel uncomfortable.
The Queen: “…”
Can she say she hasn't seen it yet?
The Empress picked up another letter and handed it to Emperor Zhengde.
"Here." The Queen said in a calm voice.
When Emperor Zhengde saw the big words "Personally addressed to the Queen Mother" on the envelope, he paused and then retracted his hand.
"Everyone, step back!"
Emperor Zhengde turned around and looked at the concubines in the room, waving his hand to send them away.
The concubines: "..."
He had no choice but to withdraw his gaze from the box.
"I'll take my leave."
"I'll take my leave..."
The Imperial Concubine led a group of women who were feeling anxious, bowed and left Kunning Palace.
"The emperor is so stingy. Let's see what's wrong?" Concubine Shu muttered in dissatisfaction.
The Imperial Concubine reached out and tapped the Shu Concubine's forehead, somewhat helplessly reproaching her: "You have such a big mouth... You even dare to make up stories about the Emperor. Be careful, or he'll chop off your head."
Concubine Shu was unconvinced and said, "You're the only one who's being careful! I didn't say anything wrong. They let us see what's in the box. Do you think we can snatch it away? They actually kicked us out."
The virtuous concubine said, "That's because the emperor is giving you face! If you shamelessly ask the emperor for it and he doesn't give it to you, where will you put your face?"
When Concubine Shu heard Concubine Xian's criticism, she was not angry at all. Instead, she showed a smug smile on her face.
"I won't! If I want something, I'll ask Tangtang for it." Concubine Shu said with a smile on her face, "Besides, those things are not for the emperor, they are given to the empress by Tangtang!"
After saying this, he actually felt a bit gloating.
Then, he added a few more words in a low voice.
"I'm afraid the Emperor doesn't have a share either, and he's envious of the Empress's share."
As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, the other concubines looked at each other.
"Did you notice what was written on the envelope?" Consort Xian raised her eyebrows and whispered, "Who was the letter addressed to?"
Consort De said calmly, "It must be addressed to the Empress, and has nothing to do with the Emperor."
After saying this, he glanced at a few people and added in a faint voice: "Didn't you see the emperor's hand stretched out and turned again! If it wasn't written for him, would he have the nerve to read it? If he opened it and read it, he would be too shameless!"
Several ladies: "..."
If we talk about the most vicious person, it’s Concubine De.
The Imperial Concubine rubbed her forehead and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Alright, you guys are getting bolder than each other. If you don't secretly make up stories about the Emperor all day long, you can't live like this, right?"
"What are you afraid of? No one else can hear us talking about this." The virtuous concubine said nonchalantly, "Could it be that anyone among us would go to the emperor to complain and stir up trouble?"
Imperial Concubine: “…”
That's true.
