Chapter 422 Gift Giving
Emperor Xuan of Yan suspended court for 9981 days to mourn Empress Wu.
"Tu Mi, make arrangements and give gifts to the wives of every person who supports Emperor Xuan of Yan." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
"Your Highness, can you just give me whatever you want?" Tu Mi said indignantly.
Zhu Huaizhen knew that Tu Mi wanted to cut Emperor Xuan of Yan into pieces.
"Tu Mi, don't worry about money. The thing your prince has the most is money." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
This is the truth. Zhu Huaizhen simply cannot squander all the daily income from the Changshengku.
Moreover, Zhu Huaizhen had extorted a huge sum of money from that Happy Island.
"Your Highness, I will do my best to make the dog emperor suspicious of everything." Tu Mi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
So, on the first day of giving gifts, Tu Mi was generous and gave a jewel bonsai.
There are coral peony bonsai in silver filigree crabapple flower pot, plum blossom bonsai in silver-gilt filigree rectangular pot, coral peach tree bonsai in silver filigree crabapple flower pot, green bamboo bonsai in wooden crabapple pot, wood-carved longevity god wonderland flower bonsai inlaid with gemstones, Penglai wonderland bonsai inlaid with malachite jewels, pomegranate bonsai in cloisonné enamel rectangular pot, beeswax stone bangs playing with toad bonsai, daffodil bonsai in green jade chrysanthemum petal pot, jasper eight-treasure Lingbo fairy bonsai, etc. Zhu Huaizhen took a sneak peek at them and was reluctant to let them go.
Alas, Zhu Huaizhen knew that in troubled times, life was difficult for everyone, so she basically did not live a luxurious life.
The next day, when giving gifts, the flowers were more restrained and became valuable ornaments.
There are pink-glazed eight-peaches and olive bottles, enameled travertine flower-patterned small gall-shaped bottles, imperial blue-glazed egret-patterned plum bottles, jasper-carved and inlaid agate lotus-patterned narcissus bonsai, copper-based cloisonné enamel treasured Ganoderma lucidum bonsai, rosewood inlaid with silver-wire treasured elephant bonsai, carved red-glazed pine, crane and deer square basin inlaid with treasured palace-made magpie and plum blossom bonsai, pink glass ice-patterned jars, Jun kiln rose-purple glazed sunflower-shaped flower pots, blue-glazed and gold-painted moon-shadow plum-patterned cups, etc., all of which are exquisitely crafted and have a long history.
Zhu Huaizhen was busy listening to "Peach Blossom Fan" this time and didn't pay much attention to it.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
On the third day of giving gifts, Tu Mi gave a gold hairpin.
The hairpin has two strands, flying in pairs.
Such as the double-knot Ruyi hairpin with white jade and red coral beads, the five-phoenix rising sun hairpin with red gold filigree and rubies, the eight-claw chrysanthemum hairpin with jadeite and silver wire, the nine-phoenix wrapped pearl hairpin with red gold wire, the filigree peony and red coral hairpin, the small silver phoenix hairpin with double heart pendants, the hollow cloud silver hairpin inlaid with water glazed stones, the silver filigree hairpin with kingfisher feather and bird patterns, the lily and gem butterfly gold hairpin, the red gold filigree hairpin with beads and so on.
On the fourth day of gift giving, Tu Mi gave jadeite items, including a carved crabapple-shaped vase, a jadeite fish-shaped box, a jadeite screen with fortune, wealth and longevity patterns, a jadeite peace and prosperity elephant chime, a jadeite carved mountain scenery with figures, a jadeite eighteen-bead bracelet, jadeite cups and plates with dragon patterns, a jadeite carved water container to ward off evil spirits, a jadeite nine-lion lidded stove, a jadeite lotus boy, and so on.
On the fifth day, Tu Mi presented jade mountains, including the Dushan Great Jade Sea, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of Dayu Controlling the Flood, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Nine Elders of Huichang, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Nine Elders of Huichang, the Jade Mountain with the Picture of the Old Man of Pine and Crane, the Jade Mountain with the Longevity Deer, the Jade Mountain with Carved Figures, the Jade Mountain with Coiled Dragons, and so on.
"Tu Mi, that's enough." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
It was enough to make Emperor Xuan of Yan doubt their loyalty.
