As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 113 Glass Pearl
The eyes of the male guests all fell on Yun Qi.

The eyes of the female relatives immediately fell on Xie Zhaozhao.

For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Shulan at the same time, showing more subtle expressions.

She lamented Chen Shulan's good looks, family background, talents, and knowledge, but also regretted that she had been assigned to Yun Qi by Emperor Xuanwu. What was even more embarrassing was that Yun Qi looked down on such a good noble girl!

Although Xie Zhaozhao is also very good, there is no doubt that compared to Chen Shulan, Xie Zhaozhao is lacking in everyone's hearts.

At least not in terms of literary talent.

Xie Zhaozhao is not a lady in the traditional sense.

Not perfect anyway.

King Liang smiled coldly, "It's a pity that some people are blind."

King Zhou covered his lips with his hand, coughed twice and said nothing.

The king of Liang took up the gold bottle on the table to drink wine again.

The banquet was quiet.

Naturally, the ministers did not dare to intervene in the matter of the prince's grandson, and at most they thought about it in their hearts, but did not dare to show any clues on their faces, for fear of offending the royal family and causing disaster.

Seeing that Chen Shulan was praised, Xie Xingchen quickly looked towards Xie Zhaozhao, wanting to see how Xie Zhaozhao would react.

But she was disappointed after just one look.

Xie Zhaozhao had no reaction and pinched a grape to eat.

However, after eating two pieces of cinnamon cake before, his mouth was sour. The grapes were not that sweet after eating them. Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but frown.

Yun Qi suddenly said: "Miss Xie Qi, are the grapes not delicious?"

Xie Zhaozhao was slightly stunned and glanced at Yun Qi in astonishment.

"Look, you're not very happy with your meal." Yun Qi seemed not to notice the look of others who were so shocked that they kicked their eyes out.

He smiled faintly, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that could not be ignored, "Come here, give Miss Xie Qi a sweet soup."

"Yes."

The eunuch stepped back.

The expressions of the men and women at the banquet all became strange and unspeakable.

Yun Qi and Chen Shulan had made an internal decision to get married.

Now, in front of Chen Shulan and all the upper-class nobles and civil and military ministers in the Holy Capital City, Yun Qi not only had no reaction when King Zhou and King Liang praised Chen Shulan, but he even openly favored Xie Zhaozhao!

I thought that after His Highness King Dingxi came back from the Western Region, he didn't bother with anything during this period. It was because he was tempered by the Western Region and had no idea about Xie Zhaozhao.

Who would have thought that I still miss you?
Xie Zhaozhao had a headache as people took turns looking at him with various eyes.

But with everyone watching, she naturally couldn't get angry at Yun Qi and tell him to restrain himself.

Xie Zhaozhao secretly took a breath and blessed Yun Qi, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Yun Qi smiled and raised his hand.

Another young eunuch serving behind him immediately stepped forward cleverly and delivered the Jiangnan Gongguo Ziyawu on Yunqi's table directly to the table in front of Xie Zhaozhao.

Ziyawu is a tribute from Jiangnan and is only available in late August and early September of the year.

Now at this banquet, only the prince, dragons, grandsons, and concubines of the harem are on the table, and the rest can't eat a single seed.

This is such a big gift to Xie Zhaozhao!
Xie Zhaozhao: "..."

She could almost feel that the eyes of everyone looking at her turned into knives, and Xie Zhaozhao's head hurt even more in an instant.

She glanced at Yun Qi quickly.

This guy thinks she was too badly cut by human eyes, right?

I thought he was quite calm at first, but now this is an old habit he has committed again! "Thank you, Miss Qi." Chen Shulan, who had been smiling silently, suddenly said, "Why don't you participate in Chrysanthemum Yong? Why don't you also make a song and let everyone go over the details together?"

Everyone looked normal but felt happy in their hearts.

It was obvious that Chen Shulan couldn't stand this kind of backhanded contempt, so she confronted Xie Zhaozhao.

There's a good show here.

Xie Zhaozhao took a breath, raised his eyes and smiled: "I don't know how to compose poetry, so if I do it reluctantly, it will make me laugh. That's good. I'll write a few words. I should have accepted Miss Chen's invitation."

After finishing speaking, before Chen Shulan could say anything, Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said in a gentle voice: "Xianfei, can you prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Zhaozhao?"

Concubine Xian had a gentle temperament and was always generous to the younger generation. She also liked Xie Zhaozhao a little and would always reward Xie Zhaozhao during every year and festival.

Therefore, Xie Zhaozhao's question quite meant asking her to help him out.

Concubine Xian nodded as expected, "Okay, here you come, bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Soon, two young eunuchs carried the case and placed it in front of them. The four treasures of the study were already prepared on it, and the brocade mat was placed in front of the case.

Xie Zhaozhao left the table, walked to the Four Treasures of the Study, knelt down slowly, picked up his pen, and started writing on the clean rice paper.

Everyone was a little surprised when they looked at it.

Xie Zhaozhao is one of the relatively unkempt ladies in the capital. She has almost nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But now the way he walks, sits, stands, and holds the pen, he looks very dignified, and looks like the same person as Xie Zhaozhao in his impression.

I just don’t know what words she can write——

After a while, with everyone watching curiously, Xie Zhaozhao put down his pen and said: "Okay."

The two young eunuchs at the side immediately stepped forward and carefully lifted up the rice paper Xie Zhaozhao had written on.

On the rice paper, the handwriting is flowing like clouds and smoke, and the writing is like clouds and smoke. It does not lose strength, spreads without boasting, but also has the grace of a god, not inferior to the handwriting of the world's literary giants.

Moreover, it was written by Chen Shulan just now, "Yong Chrysanthemum".

Xie Zhaozhao said: "It's embarrassing."

King Zhou stood up from his seat and walked over. After looking at the calligraphy carefully, his eyes fell on Xie Zhaozhao and became surprised and amazed, "I never knew Miss Xie Qi's calligraphy was so brilliant."

"I just wrote it casually for fun." Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes slightly, looking quiet and gentle, "It is truly an honor for me to be able to catch His Highness' eyes."

"The girl is too modest." As soon as Zhou Wang opened his mouth, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the pearls in Xie Zhaozhao's hair: "Hey, what the girl is wearing are the legendary glazed pearls?"

Chen Shulan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhou has very good eyes, it is indeed a glass pearl."

King Zhou looked at Chen Shulan, and after a moment he suddenly said: "I am blind, it turns out that what Miss Chen is wearing is also a glass pearl."

Everyone was startled.

Xie Xingchen was also stunned for a moment, and then his expression instantly became extremely gloomy.

Most of the goods circulating in the Holy Capital City are South Sea pearls.

The Zheling Lake in the West also produces pearls, and there is a legendary glazed pearl, which is white with gold in it and gold with pink, and will change slightly depending on the intensity of the light.

Moreover, ground glass pearls can beautify the skin and have extremely high medicinal value.

Zheling Lake is located between high mountains and snowfields. It does not produce many pearls, and glass pearls are extremely hard to find.

And they are generally very small.

A few years ago, the Thirteenth Princess got a bracelet made of glazed pearls, which were just the size of soybeans. There were thirteen beads in total, and she showed them off for a long time. I don’t know how many women were envious of them, and they spent all their efforts to get them. Glass pearl ornaments.

It’s just that this thing is hard to find.

The enthusiasm for glass pearls gradually diminished as no one asked for them.

And now, Xie Zhaozhao and Chen Shulan are both wearing beads made of glass pearls, and they are still such big ones?
