The Great Queen Mau Lewat
huang guifei's best gift
The banquet is starting soon. All the guests immediately filled their seats. The arrival of Sima Rui attracted the attention of the nobles in the room.
Some girls started to whisper seeing Sima rui's arrival. Although more women like the crown prince because it is easier to approach than Sima rui. But not a few who like sima rui and secretly steal a look at him. Ziyan felt unbearable to see the hearts of these girls who would soon be broken when their engagement was announced.

The banquet began with the arrival of the emperor and his three wives. After a toast with the emperor as a sign of the event began, the dancers began to enter the hall and dance along with the musical accompaniment.
Sima Yan and Sima rui sat next to each other at their respective tables. Mata ziyan met Sima rui. He raised his glass as an invitation to a toast and was welcomed by Sima rui.
Sima Yan who was beside Sima rui's desk, looked at the interaction of the two with a piercing gaze. His unpleasant feelings are growing. It made the aura around him become so cold.
Towards the middle of the banquet. His highness the emperor asked all the nobles to calm down.
"Today other than Huang guifei's happiness day. I'll also announce another happy news." The emperor then looked at his son Sima rui. " The first prince go. " So, look at Mo ziyan. " And big miss mo, minister mo yincheng's daughter, mo ziyan go ahead."
The furore of the women in the row of ziyan chairs began to sound. They whispered about what was really going on. For those who already knew the rumors, they could only cry inwardly. While not yet, they are waiting anxiously for an announcement that they do not really want to receive.
Ziyan and sima rui advanced forward and paid their respects to the emperor and empress. The emperor then nodded at Eunuch liu as a sign that he should read out his decree immediately.
"Emperor's decree: Mo ziyan has a gentle and elegant character. His majesty is very happy to hear it...... The emperor's first son, Sima rui. Already reaching the age of marriage and seeing the two are very compatible with each other.... His majesty decided to bestow an engagement on the two. So-called. "
" (Hamba /Ananda ) received a royal decree. Thank you to His Majesty. " Sima rui and ziyan said simultaneously their Thank you.
After receiving the emperor's decree, the two of them were now officially engaged.
"Yaner, because you're engaged to rui er. It's better if you two sit down. " The emperor said to ziyan before the two returned to their seats.
"Okay, Your Highness. "
Ziyan sat down again, but not in his chair. He sat down with Sima Rui. Chufeng, who had previously sat with him, was now sitting alone. He raised his glass as a congratulatory greeting to his brother for his engagement.
After the announcement of the engagement is now a gift reading event given to Huang Guifei. Eunuch liu read out Huang guifei's gifts one by one. Ziyan was surprised when he heard the gift Huang guifei received, almost all of his items were expensive items that cost above his gift. It was fitting for his father to say that his gift of 500 thousand taels of gold was ordinary.
It was the turn of the Ziyan prize. "The Mo Residence, gave a pair of dragon jade bracelets. "
Some people nodded, but others sneered. Ziyan understood with the reaction of the person who sneered. As the family of the first prince's future wife. They only gave him a pair of jade bracelets. Isn't it as a noble houjue should feel ashamed if only to give such a bracelet.
Madam and master mo looked calm. Even his father mo yincheng could still enjoy his wine. He doesn't seem to care much about what people think. Totally according to his personality.
"Did you say eunuch liu? dragon jade bracelet? " the sudden intrusion of Huang guifei made the entire room quiet. They wanted to know what was with the emperor's beloved concubine.
"True Huang guifei. " Reply replied cashier liu calmly.
"I want to see it. Quickly bring it here. "
Eunuch liu immediately ordered the maid to bring the gift. A servant brought a box and gave it to Huang Guifei's personal servant. Huang Guifei's servant took the box and gave it to his mistress.
Soon Huang Guifei opened it and was surprised by the contents of the box. Huang Guifei's trembling hands touched the bracelet, his eyes glazed as if tears were ready to infiltrate out of his two beautiful eyes. Huang Guifei did not expect, he could see back his family's heritage.
The Emperor was surprised when he suddenly saw his calm and cold-looking wife crying. If he were not at the banquet at this time, he would probably embrace his wife.
"Xiner, what's wrong? "
"It's okay, Your Majesty. I'm just happy to see my family's relics again. "
People were astonished when they heard Huang guifei's words. Only Sima rui smiled and ziyan caught the smile.
"Miss Ziyan, where did you get this thing? "
Huang guifei's question which was so sudden shocked ziyan who was currently paying attention to Sima rui's smile.
"Huang Guifei's. I got it in the Paimai building. "
"really? I'm really grateful to you. You brought this bracelet back to me. "
"I don't deserve Huang guifei's thanks. This is what I should have done. "
Huang Guifei watched his son-in-law, then watched his son. They both look good. Looks like he got a good daughter-in-law.
"Huang guifei, you got a good son-in-law. It's a blessing to you. " The Empress was satisfied with ziyan's inferiority attitude.
"True the queen's words. I'm happy to have a daughter-in-law like Miss Ziyan. "
"So when are we going to discuss their marriage? " Task guifei to the empress and Huang guifei.
"We can talk about it at the empress' palace tomorrow afternoon. Hows it? "
The discussion of the three wives of the Emperor became a spectacle of the invited guests. It was common knowledge that Emperor Shao's household was very harmonious. Unlike the previous emperor's wives who tended to compete with each other, even killing each other to get the attention of the emperor. Emperor shao's wives didn't need to do all that. Because the Emperor himself was the type of man who upheld justice. As a husband or as an emperor. Although his heart was for Huang guifei. He still respects both his wives.
"Are you now satisfied with your gift? "
"Huh? " Sima rui's question made ziyan aware. " You know what? " Ziyan smiled wryly.
"of course. Your expression's fickle. You look doubtful and insecure as eunuch liu recites Huang guifei's expensive gift. A good gift is not seen by how expensive it is. But the meaning of the gift itself. After all, didn't you yourself get it for 500 thousand gold taels. From the price of 380 you immediately give the price of 500. "
"Where do you know... "
"You even spouted your tea when the auction guide mentioned the real price. "
"Well..." Ziyan realized how he knew. The third floor was only for the royal family and gongjue nobles. " Don't you be that guy on the third floor." Ziyan did not expect. The one who was fighting over the items with him at the auction was Sima rui. Ziyan planned to lash out a slow blow at Sima rui. But easily avoided.
Sima rui laughed at Ziyan's behavior which covered up her embarrassment by trying to hit her.
The Emperor saw Sima rui laughing. With hesitation he called eunuch liu. " Say. Is that really my son? "
"............ " Easim liu didn't know what to answer.
