Chapter 226 Selecting Jade

An hour later, Su Jingyao's eyes were lifeless, and she seemed to have lost all her strength. Her whole body was shaking slightly.

Jun Zechen gently put his arms around her waist from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you know you're wrong?"

mistaken?

When did she miss?

"No kiss, no kiss!"

Su Jingyao also lost her temper and said, "Get out of here."

She struggled to leave his embrace, but in Jun Zechen's eyes, this little strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he just turned her over gently.

He lifted her small chin and kissed her again. This kiss was extremely overbearing and fierce, as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his.

Su Jingyao pressed her hands weakly against his strong chest and raised her head to endure the man's hot breath.

For a long time, she closed her eyes, her chest heaving slightly, panting, and her pink fingertips fell on Jun Zechen's chest.

Jun Zechen also closed his eyes and rested, his slender fingers unconsciously stroking her soft hair, a hint of smile overflowing from his eyes, emitting a tenderness and tenderness that he himself did not even notice.

"It's my fault. My temper has gotten worse and worse. I dared to tell you to get lost."

"It is obviously Your Highness who is bullying others..."

Jun Zechen had never expected that after reading books on self-cultivation for more than ten days, he would break all his rules once he came to her.

"That cancels it out."

Su Jingyao hummed twice, indicating her agreement.

Then Jun Zechen asked casually: "Do you like jade? We have a new batch in our warehouse. Go and choose some tomorrow and make it into jewelry that you like."

Wait until she has finished choosing and then send it to Ling Yue.

Su Jingyao felt exhausted all over, and she sounded lazy when she spoke.

"I like purple jade and blue jade."

"We have everything. Just pick whatever you like."

"Yeah." Su Jingyao responded softly.

"......"

Jun Zechen chatted with her in a random manner, gently combing her hair with his fingers, until she fell into a deep sleep. Then he put on his clothes and quietly returned to Yude Hall.

When Su Jingyao woke up slowly the next day, Jun Zechen's warmth was no longer beside her, but she was used to it.

He stretched lazily and yawned, his eyes still a little hazy from just waking up.

Today, under Anshun's arrangement, she went to the warehouse to select jadeite.

When Su Jingyao actually saw those jades, she was really amazed.

She had never expected that there could be such high-quality jadeite. The water content and texture, she judged with the naked eye, were almost at the level of high ice.

In modern times, even with advanced geological exploration technology, the mining of jade is not easy. Jade of this quality has basically reached the level of being able to be auctioned and collected, and the price is probably calculated in billions.

The jadeite presented to Jun Zechen this time is even more colorful, including mysterious and noble purple, vibrant green, clear and ethereal sky blue, pure snow-like white, and bright and lively yellow.

There are two pieces of each color. I guess they selected the best quality jades and presented them to Jun Zechen.

Su Jingyao prefers purple and blue, but green is the most valuable color of jade. Looking at these beautiful jades, she was confused for a moment.

I really want to take them all away.

If they were made into bracelets, necklaces, rings, and hairpins, they would be absolutely beautiful. Just thinking about them made her feel itchy.

Seeing that the concubine was very happy but could not hide her entanglement, An Shun asked with a flattering smile on his face: "Concubine, which ones do you like? His Highness has ordered that you can pick whatever you like."

"If I like everything..."

Su Jingyao bent down, and gently touched the jades with her slender fingers, feeling their refreshing warmth, with a greedy light flashing in her eyes.

It's so beautiful! If she could bring it back to the modern world, she would become rich instantly.

The smile on An Shun's face froze for a moment, and he began to wonder in his heart.

If the concubine likes it, His Highness didn't seem to say that it can't all be given to her.

Su Jingyao stood up and began to state her request.

"I want to make a jadeite hair crown. It should be luxurious and cover the whole head."

"There is a blue phoenix standing in front, with a large white jadeite pearl in its mouth. The body of the phoenix is ​​carved from green jadeite, and the main part of the hair crown is inlaid with purple jadeite into the shape of petals, with small butterflies carved from blue jadeite interspersed in an orderly manner, and round and plump yellow jadeite beads embedded in the gaps."

"A few strings of tiny pearls hang from the edge of the tiara, and the entire tiara is inlaid with 99 purple jade beads and 108 blue jade beads."

"I will have the maid bring the pattern to you, my Lord."

The expression on Su Jingyao's face was very joyful.

"In addition to this hair crown, make me two green jade bracelets, one purple jade bracelet and one blue jade bracelet."

"Use white jade to make a white magnolia hairpin, and yellow jade to make two rose hairpins. Also, make me some earrings and rings made of jade of all colors."

After Su Jingyao finished speaking, she gently touched her chin and frowned slightly, as if she was still thinking about whether she had missed anything.

An Shunyuan thought the concubine had finally finished speaking and was about to open his mouth.

Su Jingyao continued, "Make me a green jadeite bead necklace, and an egg-shaped necklace each of purple jadeite and yellow jadeite."

Her eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

As he spoke, he simply gestured with his hands to indicate the length and style of the necklace.

Su Jingyao felt that wearing green jadeite at her age was a bit old-fashioned, and the two pieces worn by Jun Zechen were of imperial green grade, not fresh and clean at all. They were not suitable for her to wear, but it would be nice to give them to her mother if she had the chance.

"After you finish all this, if there is any left, send it to the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao said it lightly, and she really acted like a favored concubine.

As An Shun listened, his heart tightened and his face became more and more stiff. If all the jewelry that the concubine wanted were made, what scraps would be left?

When he heard that it was finally sent to the Crown Princess, he was so surprised that his mouth opened slightly.

This...isn't the concubine too arrogant?

An Shun's forehead began to bead with sweat. He could even imagine taking these scraps to the Qiluan Palace and the Crown Princess's murderous look. Just thinking about it made his back go cold.

But he still pretended to be calm and agreed.

"Yes, Concubine. I will report your request to His Highness and will send the jewelry to you when it is ready."

After the selection, Su Jingyao was satisfied. With a smile on her face, she walked briskly back to Shuining Palace.

Before marrying into the Eastern Palace, she had thought that Jun Zechen liked Ling Yue, and was prepared to step back and become a pure and kind concubine, which might mean she would have to endure some hardships.

Unexpectedly, Jun Zechen has changed his mind, so now she will not let herself be wronged.

Isn't the fight for favor all about money and power?

Now that I haven't gained power, I will use gold and silver to make up for the pain in my heart caused by that old scumbag.

An Shun hurried back to Yude Hall and bowed as soon as he entered the hall: "Your Highness, the concubine has already selected the jadeite."

An Shun wrote down in detail the various jewelry that the concubine had told him in the storeroom on a piece of paper and presented it to the prince respectfully with both hands.

Jun Zechen looked at An Shun strangely, with some doubts.

"Now that you have chosen your concubine, you can have her made and sent to me. Why would you want me to see her?"

"Your Highness, if the concubine's jewelry is made, there may be no jade left in your storehouse."

An Shun lowered his head, not daring to look Jun Zechen in the eye, and his voice became lower and lower, sounding a little embarrassing.

Jun Zechen's eyebrows twitched slightly. He took the jewelry list and glanced at it casually.

Looking at this long list of jewelry, the styles and designs are recorded in detail.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, "She's not polite."

There was no trace of anger on his face.

"First, focus on the concubine's work. If the Crown Princess asks, give her the two pieces of yellow jade that my father gave me a few years ago."

Jun Zechen spoke in a calm tone, as if this was just a trivial matter.

"Yes, Your Highness."

An Shun agreed, secretly sighing in his heart, thinking that the prince changed his mind so quickly, and now the concubine was probably the apple of his eye.

How can the two pieces of jade from a few years ago be compared with the ones presented this year? The difference in treatment is too obvious.

I hope the Crown Princess won’t find out.

An Shun thought about this as he slowly backed out.
