Chapter 151 Choosing Jewelry
The first thing that came to Emperor Yuan Yong's mind after he emerged from the dream was to be thankful that this was not real, that it was just a dream...
He would never let the situation in his dream happen, absolutely not.
Emperor Yuan Yong calmed down and slowly lay down, but he couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night.
When he woke up early in the morning, he made up his mind and decided to do what Xu Lanshan said. In any case, this was a great merit. First, it would accumulate merit and allow God to bless her with good fortune in the future. Second, if this thing was accomplished, it would also be a great achievement.
Because of her contributions, others have to be cautious and think twice when they want to touch her.
Emperor Yuan Yong didn't sleep for most of the night, but Xu Lanshan slept soundly.
The most comfortable thing in the cold winter is to sleep in a warm house until dawn!
Around noon, someone came from Ganyuan Palace to call Xu Lanshan over.
Xu Lanshan was delighted, knowing that about 70% of what they had discussed last night had come true.
When we arrived at Ganyuan Palace, we found that it was indeed true.
Xu Lanshan was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, disaster relief is like putting out a fire. We cannot delay even a moment. I will go now."
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed and sighed: "You!"
His heart softened, and he secretly sighed, Lan'er is so kind! She doesn't mind the cold weather at all, and she cares about him even more than he does. How can he blame Lan'er for liking her more and more, and being unable to take his eyes off her when he sees her?
"No hurry," Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her with increasingly gentle and affectionate eyes, a smile on his lips. "Let's have lunch first, then Lan'er will come with me to select the treasures and jewelry to sell. Finally, I'll go to the Empress. I have to let her know about this matter."
After all, Xu Lanshan is under the Queen's control, so it would be unreasonable not to say hello to the Queen.
The Queen had some opinions in her mind and wanted to control her, a mere Zhaoyi, and had countless ways to torment her.
Xu Lanshan smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, I will obey your Majesty!"
"Hmm." Emperor Yuan Yong smiled, even more satisfied. He's really well behaved.
The two of them had lunch together first, and then went to Emperor Yuan Yong's private storehouse to choose things.
Xu Lanshan was very excited and was waiting to be broadened.
This is the emperor's private treasury. I wonder how many treasures are inside.
The things in the emperor's private treasury are prepared for emergency use when he is at the end of his rope, and are also used for rewards. Therefore, they are generally not touched, especially some extremely valuable ones, which are kept to be rewarded to his descendants.
Would the royal family be decent if they didn’t have a few good things to display?
Emperor Yuan Yong took Xu Lanshan to one of the rooms, which was filled with smaller items.
Although it is a small item, it is still priceless.
The four walls of the room were lined with cabinets reaching all the way to the ceiling, divided into compartments of varying sizes, and each compartment contained a treasure or a set of treasures.
Dong Zhi presented the dossier with both hands. Emperor Yuan Yong invited Xu Lanshan to look at it together. He said with a smile, "Lan'er, take a look. These jewels are all good. See which ones are suitable. If there is nothing suitable, look elsewhere."
Xu Lanshan was dazzled and envious just by looking at the names recorded in these scrolls. How could she think of anything else? In her heart, she could only secretly admire and envy: The emperor is indeed worthy of being the richest emperor in the world. He is so rich! This wealth is something that others could never accumulate in several lifetimes!
As she looked at it, she smiled and said softly, "That's enough! Even if it's just a blade of grass or a stone, the Emperor's belongings are still excellent. Even the wealthy merchants would be vying for them! Moreover, these are genuine and priceless treasures! Your Majesty, if you trust me, nothing else matters. The only thing that matters is that these things must bear the imperial mark! As long as it can be proven to be genuine and belonging to the royal family, everything will be fine!"
This made Emperor Yuan Yong burst into laughter. "Lan'er, what you said is quite interesting!"
Xu Lanshan blinked, looked at him with a smile, and corrected him coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this is not just a little bit interesting, it is the truth!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed even louder. "Very good, then I'll listen to Lan'er. Lan'er, feel free to choose!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Lanshan subconsciously felt that the emperor's attitude towards her seemed a little different, as if... more affectionate and more sentimental?
She thought it must be because the weather was too cold and her brain was a little slow and dull that she thought this way...
Put aside this illusion and get down to business!
Xu Lanshan began to choose carefully.
While looking at them, she discussed with Emperor Yuan Yong and finally selected thirteen pieces of jewelry. All of them were fine items with the Imperial Household Department's imperial mark, including red gold bracelets inlaid with gems, gold necklaces, flower-shaped hairpins with kingfisher feathers and beads, white jade combs with flowers and birds, and so on.
Once one item was identified, Dong Zhi would quickly and accurately find another one. After all thirteen items were found, they were lined up on the table, sparkling with pearls and full of brilliance, so luxurious and eye-catching.
Xu Lanshan was extremely envious!
They are all treasures, but it’s a pity that they are not hers…
Trying hard to retract her gaze, Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, these are excellent! I'm sure those wealthy merchants will fight over them! These are all royal possessions, they can't buy them even with all their money!"
Emperor Yuan Yong hummed, embraced the person, lowered his head and kissed him, smiling softly: "That's it! Lan'er, please pick a few pieces as well. You've worked hard, Lan'er. This is my thank you gift!"
Xu Lanshan secretly praised in her heart, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, he knows how to talk!
Listen, she even said she had worked hard and expressed her gratitude to her! By the way, she didn’t find such “hard work” hard at all!
Xu Lanshan never thought about why the emperor said that...but she still felt a little embarrassed.
"This... Your Majesty, I am not worthy of this. Forget it!"
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled: "Lan'er certainly deserves it, of course she deserves it!"
Xu Lanshan's heart moved, and she smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, how about this? I will pick three boxes at random, and whatever they are, how do you think?"
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and said, "This is a unique and fresh idea! That's it. But three is a little too few, how about six!"
Xu Lanshan was delighted and said with a smile, "I thank the emperor for his grace! Since the emperor has said so, I will not be hypocritical!"
"Of course, there's no need for this between me and Lan'er!"
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly at him and flattered him: "Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
Xu Lanshan didn't deliberately choose. Anything that could be placed here was good. She pointed at six places at random and said, "These are the ones I'll take!"
Dong Zhi hurried forward and took out the things one by one.
Xu Lanshan's eyes sparkled, and she was interested in testing her luck.
