Chapter 932
Crown uniform regulations
The real purple engraved silk golden phoenix and hazel on the shoulder is edged with more than 2,000 pearls, and is inlaid with more than 100 gems and pearls of various colors. The peacock pattern on the top is woven with peacock feathers, and the tail is inlaid with real peacock feathers.
Every detail is full of hints of respect and etiquette that cannot be overstepped.
Psychologically, it gives people a strong hint of oppression, which makes people feel ashamed, and suddenly creates a feeling of kneeling down and surrendering.
Listening to the three daughters-in-law discussing the dignity of the princess's uniform, Mrs. Xie's eyes suddenly showed a smile, and there was inevitably a hint of pride in her expression.
Yu Youyao muttered: "How can it be so exaggerated?!"
Her voice was soft and well-behaved, which made people ignore her noble status and couldn't help but want to pamper her and prevent her from suffering any injustice.
Several aunts looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
After chatting for a while, a young man came over and reported: "Miss, Eunuch Li and his party have arrived at the gate of Yuyuan. The old man brought three uncles and five young cousins to greet them outside."
The group of people stood up quickly and checked each other to see if their clothes were appropriate. After waiting for a while, they finally heard the sound of communication outside.
After a while, Eunuch Li was seen wearing a scarlet eunuch's uniform, being welcomed into the front hall by Mr. Xie and his entourage, like a star.
Behind him followed a clever eunuch, holding a gilt tray with a bright yellow embroidered phoenix on it.
When he suddenly saw Princess Shaoyi, who was dressed in imperial robes and looked dignified, even Eunuch Zhu, who was accustomed to meeting noble people in the palace, couldn't help but take his breath away.
For a moment, even his straight waist began to bend a little without realizing it, and his expression and behavior revealed a hint of humility.
It was all because Princess Shaoyi’s crown and attire actually followed the regulations for the crown and attire of the princess of this dynasty.
However, if you look closely, there are still some subtle differences between the two.
Some dragon patterns will be used on the crown and clothes of the princess, symbolizing the bloodline of the Tian family and the identity of the dragon's son and phoenix grandson.
However, Princess Shaoyi was recorded on the jade plate of the clan as a "adopted daughter" and was not of Tian family blood. The crown and uniform used a peacock pattern instead of a dragon pattern.
Others cannot tell the difference between the two at first glance, but those with a little discernment will know that it is the daughter of a foreign minister who has sealed the title of princess.
However, the daughters of foreign ministers often enjoy the rules and regulations that only the direct princesses have, which makes them more cautious.
Like Eunuch Li, a father-in-law who is powerful in the palace has more to think about.
The emperor has been addicted to alchemy since he was young. He has not recruited new talents for many years and has not many children. After the only legitimate son of the emperor died in infancy, the empress was ill in the palace for a long time and had no more children.
Although Princess Lishan occupies the title of legitimate princess, no one in the whole court knows that she is originally from the Ningguo Duke's family. She is the legitimate daughter of a concubine and is not of the Tian family's blood.
Not to mention that her status was somewhat unattractive, even the emperor was very unfavorable to her, and her current dignity was entirely due to the support of the Queen Mother.
In this dynasty, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, Princess Lishan, seems to be a noble person, but her background is far inferior to that of Yu Youyao, who comes from a famous family and is the daughter of the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter.
In terms of title, Princess Shaoyi is just a princess. She seems to be weaker than the princess, but in terms of status, Princess Shaoyi is even more powerful than Princess Lishan.
Not to mention, the imperial court's kindness to Princess Shaoyi was genuine, and the dignity that should be given to her was fully met, without any ambiguity.
Where can Princess Lishan compare to?!
Eunuch Li had something to worry about, so he quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted Princess Shaoyi: "Our family has met the princess, and I would like to express my regards to the princess."
Yu Youyao hurriedly hid: "You can't do this. My father-in-law came here on an errand under the emperor's order. His hard work is a great reward. Besides, the long journey of driving and horses is also hard work, but it hurts me."
Eunuch Li was amazed when he heard this.
The words are simple, but the meaning is not ambiguous at all.
He had the emperor's mandate, so he really didn't need to perform this courtesy deliberately. This courtesy was completely based on goodwill and friendship, and the person he was on this mission was also Princess Shaoyi. He had to work hard and work for Princess Shaoyi.
Princess Shaoyi accepted this goodwill, but did not accept this courtesy.
The reason is also very sufficient, not to mention that the emperor's orders are as high as heaven, but because of the hard work of conveying decrees and delivering rewards to her, she should not receive this courtesy due to emotion and reason.
But is this the case?
Princess Shaoyi is a very popular person today. Except for a few nobles in the palace, what kind of courtesy is unacceptable?!
What's more, it's a gift from a eunuch like him?!
Princess Shaoyi's words and deeds were all revealed to be gentle and tolerant, and she was generous and generous in her dealings with others, giving her enough dignity. This kind of self-cultivation cannot be cultivated even by many wealthy families.
No wonder Eunuch Zhu always said: "Princess Shaoyi is a pure and kind person."
When it came to this matter, Eunuch Li also followed the good example and did not mention the matter of etiquette. He glanced around and saw Mr. Xie and his party who were maintaining etiquette.
A smile appeared on his face again, and he said politely: "Hey, you should calm down for a while. The imperial court promulgated national policies and successfully implemented them in the northern border. The Xie Mansion has contributed a lot to it. You are the heroes. The Queen Mother is in the court.
In the hall, I also publicly commended Xie Mansion, saying that Xie Mansion is a home that has accumulated good deeds and will surely have more achievements and can be called a model. I also personally wrote a document of commendation to commend Xie Mansion."
During this period, Baotong Bank frequently transferred money from all over the country. Such a big move could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the imperial court. Xie Mansion took the lead and donated most of his wealth. This matter has long been spread throughout the world.
The implementation of the national policy was led by King Wu Mu, and Princess Shaoyi played a driving role, but no one could deny the contribution of the Xie Mansion to the national policy.
The imperial court openly commended Xie Mansion for the sake of showing it to the world's merchants. It also wanted to set an example for Xie Mansion and beat all business gentry in the world.
It cannot be vague at all.
Mr. Xie and his entourage were immediately flattered: "The national policy is for the sake of the country and should be followed by everyone. The ordinary people only did what they were expected to do, so they dare not take any credit for their great achievements. Thank you for your kindness, the Queen Mother, and the grace of the court. Thank you."
The government is extremely grateful."
Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction, said a few more polite words, and was led to his seat by Princess Shaoyi. A maid immediately served him tea.
Eunuch Li took a bite, but he didn't get any tea.
Seeing the strange look on Eunuch Li's face, Yu Youyao explained: "There is no good tea in Liaodong to entertain my father-in-law. He is used to using good things in the palace. I think last year's old tea is not palatable. Cinnamon tea is the best."
I concocted it myself, added some spices and herbs, and made it into a herbal tea. This herbal tea simply gets more fragrant with age, and it is sweet and refreshing, which is quite good for relieving fatigue."
People who understand tea can tell the quality of tea by tasting the tea. When you come to your door, you are a customer. No matter what kind of customer you are, you can't let people misunderstand that the house is indifferent.
