Chapter 100: Pink Diamond Bracelet
The General's Mansion was very busy early in the morning. More than a hundred servants were busy preparing for the first-year banquet.
The five brothers Shen Zhiyuan also got up early. Their sister's first birthday party was particularly important and must be perfect.
Mr. Cheng, along with the whole family and dozens of slaves, came here specially to help.
He knew that there were not many servants in the general's mansion, and more than a hundred servants would not be enough.
But the daughter insisted on this, saying that she was afraid that her luxurious life would arouse the emperor's suspicion and fear.
After all, Shen Hong is a general and holds the tiger talisman.
As soon as he returned to Beijing last year, he handed the tiger talisman back to the emperor.
Those who watch the kitchen watch the kitchen, those who watch the cleaning watch the cleaning, and those who welcome guests welcome the guests.
When Shen Hong walked to the hall carrying Ruan Ruan and Cheng Yurong, everyone's eyes fell on her. ...
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and the sun had just risen above the windows. Guests arrived at the General's Mansion one after another.
Until Shen Shengzhong and the second room didn't arrive.
Shen Hong suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that they were late on purpose.
A servant ran back and reported: "General, the father-in-law said that there is something going on in the house and he will be here a little later."
After hearing this, Cheng Yurong's face immediately turned gloomy. "Wait, wait? Are you still waiting? The auspicious time is coming soon. Could it be that by waiting for them, the auspicious time of my son's first birthday party will be missed?"
She didn't hold back her cowardice.
"Husband, what do you think?"
"..." Shen Hong pursed his lips, wandering between waiting and not waiting.
When Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng walked to the gate and saw Cheng Yurong's gloomy face, they knew that Shen Zhongsheng and his second wife were causing trouble.
"Ah Hong, the guest has been waiting for half an hour. If you wait any longer, you will offend someone."
"Yes, son-in-law, Ruan Ruan's first birthday party cannot be a joke."
Just when Shen Hong was about to agree, a sudden A carriage suddenly stopped at the door.
"Mom and Dad, that car might be my father's..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw a handsome young man getting out of the carriage.
When he saw the young man's face clearly, Shen Hong was shocked.
It turned out to be...
——His Royal Highness
, Mr. Cheng, also recognized the prince. After all, he was the prince's imperial disciple. He never thought that his highness would come to attend his granddaughter's first birthday party.
"Welcome Mrs. -"
Shen Hong and Mr. Cheng stepped forward to salute, but were stopped by the young man.
"Today I am just Young Master Yu, bringing my younger brother to attend Master Shen's daughter's birthday party." Xuan Liyu turned around and helped his younger brother Xuan Liye out of the carriage.
Seeing that the eleventh prince also left the palace, Shen Hong and Mr. Cheng were a little worried.
Because the eleventh prince was frail since he was a child, he often fell ill and took more medicine than food.
What if something happens this time...?
The two princes came out of the palace to attend the first birthday banquet of the young princess of the General's Mansion in response to the emperor's instructions. They wanted to give face to Shen Hong and the Cheng family. There is no prince with a higher status than them.
"Blessed Master Yu, blessed Master Ye." Cheng Yurong helped Mrs. Cheng walk over and saluted.
"No need to be polite, let's go in first." Xuan Liyu looked around, worried about assassins.
Xuan Liyu and Xuan Liye walked in front, followed by Shen Hong and Mr. Cheng leading the way.
Cheng Yurong and Mrs. Cheng followed slowly, asked the boy to close the door, and sent a few more boys to guard the door.
When distinguished guests arrive, be sure to protect them.
Otherwise something goes wrong... There are not enough people from the nine tribes to be beheaded. Shen Hongxian strode into the hall and shouted to the guests: "Welcome Mr. Yu, welcome Mr. Ye."
With this shout, the guests who were chatting happily turned around.
When they saw the faces of Xuan Liyu and Xuan Liye, the men were all shocked. Their knees softened and they knelt down immediately.
When the female relatives saw the appearance of their men, they knew that Young Master Yu and Young Master Ye were of noble status and must kneel down one after another.
"No gifts, please get up. Today, I am here to attend the little princess's birthday party as a friend. Let's eat and drink well. Don't worry about anything. Don't disturb everyone's fun."
Xuan Liyu waved his hand and crossed the He took two steps forward and helped up the man kneeling at the front.
The men and women walked slowly. Although His Highness the Crown Prince was polite and courteous, as ministers, they could not disturb their dignity.
Shen Hong brought Xuan Liyu and Xuan Liye to the center of the hall and introduced them to the six children.
Shen Zhiyuan, Shen Zhiqing and Xuan Liyu have known each other since they were young. After all, their grandfather was the prince's imperial master.
When Ruan Ruan saw the two brothers, he was stunned for a while.
They...
are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eleventh Prince?
She really didn't expect that the crown prince and the eleventh prince would come to her birthday party. Could it be that she would get involved with them?
"Cousin, why are you here?" Chu Jingyi was a little unhappy. When his cousin came, he directly covered his shine, which was really annoying.
"General Sim has dedicated most of his life to Dai Viet. He has been separated from his wife and children for many years. He has sacrificed so much, suffered so much, and carried all the pain. My father sent us to attend the little princess's birthday party and gave the little princess a generous gift. "
Xuan Liyu clapped his hands, and a handsome little eunuch held a large mahogany box and slowly walked in with everyone's expectant eyes.
Is the Emperor so kind to General Shen?
His Royal Highness is specially sent to give a big gift?
Everyone held their breath and stared directly at the mahogany box.
Shen Hong didn't like the gift from the emperor very much. The previous gifts were given in private.
But this time he gave such an expensive gift in full public view, and tomorrow he would become a thorn in the side of the court literati again, a thorn in the flesh.
As the mahogany box opened, an extremely gorgeous gold necklace inlaid with pearls and gemstones was revealed, and a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with pearls and gemstones.
There is also a gold flower butterfly headdress inlaid with pearls and gems, and a pair of white jade hostas.
Everyone was stunned. Only the eldest princess is qualified to wear this set of jewelry!
Not to mention the exquisite jewelry, the necklace is made of three ounces of gold, plus hundreds of small pearls, a pair of rubies, and a sapphire.
There is also the gold flower and butterfly headdress inlaid with pearls and gems. It is made of countless gold wires wrapped into more than 20 flowers and a lifelike butterfly, and then dozens of pearls and sapphires are embedded.
Ruan Ruan thought to himself that he was wearing this golden flower and butterfly headdress inlaid with pearls and gems. When he walked, couldn't the more than twenty flowers and butterflies flutter and sway?
She was closest to the mahogany box and could see it clearly. Giving her national treasure jewelry was probably because of the health charm from last year.
The one who takes advantage of others is soft-handed and the one who eats others is short-tongued.
Come on, she has to contribute a longevity charm tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, Shen, thanked the Emperor on behalf of my little girl." Shen Hong picked up the big box, covered his face directly, and simply put it on the table.
"Little sister, your name is Ruan Ruan! I wish you grow up quickly, be safe and happy." Xuan Liye took out a small box from his sleeve and opened it to reveal a pair of pink diamond bracelets.
Everyone said "Wow" loudly.
Especially for women, no woman in the world can resist pink things.
When Ruan Ruan saw the pink diamond bracelet, his heart stopped.
Pink diamonds are extremely rare, weighing just five grams and are worth hundreds of millions, let alone a bracelet weighing dozens of grams.
Moreover, they are still a pair.
Pink diamond bracelet, this can be considered a national treasure!
So arrogant!
It seems that the Emperor and the Empress love the Eleventh Prince more.
