Although Jiang Jingyue said she didn't need it, the others thought she was joking because the things on the plate were a gift from the Emperor.
Inside were hairpins of various styles, each inlaid with emeralds, making them look exceptionally beautiful. No wonder everyone else was eager to choose one first.
After everyone had made their choices, when the items were brought to Jiang Jingyue, only two items remained, mixed in as embellishments, and neither of them were emeralds.
When the food was served to Jiang Jingyue, everyone else couldn't help but widen their eyes, wanting to see how she would react.
Jiang Jingyue had already seen through their little tricks. After seeing what was in the plate, she smiled and slowly opened her mouth.
"Imperial Noble Consort, you can keep these things for yourself and wear them slowly! I have plenty of these things in my palace. Yesterday, His Majesty just bestowed a batch of rubies, which are similar to these. They must be from the same batch as what you have, Imperial Noble Consort."
My dear sisters, please don't blame me for not sharing this with you. It's just that these are gifts from His Majesty, and I really can't bear to give them to others; I just want to cherish them myself."
Jiang Jingyue's words infuriated not only the Imperial Noble Consort, but also the other concubines in the palace.
They felt that Jiang Jingyue was just showing off, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Jiang Jingyue's words immediately reached Mo Yuhan's ears. He was already angry because the ministers were again urging him to make Prince Cheng, Mo Miancheng, the crown prince.
Upon hearing this news, the anger in my heart immediately subsided.
"Go open the imperial treasury and select some good items to send to Consort Jing. Select as many as possible, understand? Su Changde, you personally lead the men to select them."
When Su Changde heard the news, his eyebrows twitched, and his face was full of shock.
He understood once again just how important Consort Jing, who had just entered the palace, was in the Emperor's heart.
At this moment, Su Changde once again determined who he needed to curry favor with.
After Jiang Yuhan felt a little better, she picked up the memorials and began to review them.
Looking at those memorials, a large portion of which urged him to establish a crown prince, Mo Yuhan's face darkened considerably.
It seems some people are about to lose their temper.
He had considered establishing a crown prince, but that would have to wait a few more years. Moreover, Prince Cheng was never a candidate for him, even though he was also the late emperor's child.
His plan was to wait a few more years, find someone from a collateral branch, and then nurture them properly.
However, he wouldn't do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
He had worked so hard to conquer this vast land; how could he possibly just hand it over to someone else so easily?
Hibiscus Palace!
Jiang Jingyue almost burst out laughing when she saw the different expressions on the faces of each concubine.
Try to mess with me, I'll crush you in no time.
"Consort Jing, are you laughing at us for showing off how good the Emperor is to you? Don't worry, it won't be long before you're just like us."
"If you stay in the palace until you grow old and lose your beauty, the Emperor won't even remember you. The reason he favored you was definitely by accident. If you can't bear a prince, even if the Emperor favors you, it won't make a difference."
As soon as Consort De finished speaking, the voices of servants from Zhao Furong's palace rang out from outside.
"Eunuch Su has arrived."
Upon hearing that Eunuch Su had arrived, everyone in the palace stood up immediately, including Zhao Furong, who also stood up instinctively.
Eunuch Su was a favorite of the Emperor. Anyone who showed their face to Eunuch Su had a chance to show their face to the Emperor. So these concubines were all eager to see Eunuch Su.
When Su Changde came in, he was followed by several other people, each carrying something in their hands.
Because those things were quite far away, the people in the palace couldn't see them very clearly, but just by looking at them, they knew they must be valuable items.
Standing next to Zhao Furong, Consort Wan immediately began to flatter her.
"Your Highness, it seems the Emperor has sent someone to deliver gifts to you again. Congratulations in advance!"
Zhao Furong smiled very happily, but the wrinkles on her face made her look older.
"Don't worry! If there's anything good, I'll definitely share it with you all. The Emperor's gifts will surely make everyone happy!"
As soon as Zhao Furong finished speaking, a barrage of compliments rang out.
These compliments made Zhao Furong's heart almost soar.
At this moment, Su Changde also came to their side. When the concubines in the palace saw that they were carrying all kinds of ornaments, their eyes lit up immediately.
"We're here to greet the Imperial Noble Consort! And to pay our respects to Consort Jing."
Su Changde paid his respects to the two men, and the other concubines, seeing his demeanor, dared not say anything more.
What a joke! This is a favorite of the Emperor. To say anything more in front of him is tantamount to courting death.
"Eunuch Su, what is this...?"
Looking at the large collection of ornaments, Zhao Furong smiled even more happily. Seeing that Su Changde hadn't spoken yet, she couldn't help but speak first.
"Little Li, Little Hua, you two come here and bring over what you're carrying."
A young servant came over, carrying a set of jewelry that looked quite ordinary.
The other item she was carrying was a variety of ornaments of all sizes, even more than the ones Zhao Furong had just distributed.
"Your Highness, these are gifts from His Majesty. You can arrange them as you see fit. We came here specifically for Consort Jing."
After Su Changde finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Jingyue. When he saw Jiang Jingyue looking at him, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, these were all personally selected by His Majesty. Please see if you like them. If not, I will go and select some more."
A dozen servants immediately brought all the food to Jiang Jingyue.
There were so many things that it was almost blinding, and Jiang Jingyue felt that the old man was just there to make her resentful.
However, it must be said that these pieces of jewelry are very beautiful; women are naturally drawn to such things.
"I like all of these very much. Send them to my palace so I can enjoy them at my leisure."
Su Changde immediately waved his hand, ordering the items to be delivered to Jiang Jingyue's Qianyue Palace.
Jiang Jingyue looked up at the Imperial Noble Consort whose smile had frozen on her lips and almost burst out laughing.
You were so smug, now you've been slapped in the face!
Jiang Jingyue suppressed a smile, nodded slightly, and then looked at her and said:
"Your Highness, my esteemed concubine has so many pieces of jewelry that it will take some time to sort them all out. I will take my leave now."
