Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

He seemed to be thinking, and his speech slowed down, causing all the court officials to hold their breath.

"…I intend to give her a treasure."

After the words were spoken, the dust finally settled.

Although she was not given the title of Lady, any minister with a little bit of common sense understood that His Majesty was not going to let go and was determined to possess Nian Tu.

For a moment, everyone had different expressions and complicated moods.

Tan Konglin seemed to be oblivious to all this and continued, "Since she has made a great contribution by offering me the treasure, I will also give her a rare treasure."

As soon as he raised his hand, several eunuchs came forward with sleepy eyes and carried an object, presenting it carefully.

The obstructing silk was removed, and suddenly the light became bright and brilliant.

“This, this——!!!”

All the court officials stared with their eyes wide open. All thoughts about the lady of imperial decree, the bow being put away after the bird is dead, and the king taking his minister's wife were forgotten. Their minds were completely occupied by the beautiful scenery before them.

It turned out to be a crystal ornament of a lotus tripod with a white crown. The orchid was crystal clear without any flaws, the petals were as thin as cicada wings and slightly curled, the stamens were delicate and pitiful, and the most wonderful thing was the leaves, which were not only carved with delicate veins, but also had a very elegant and stretched posture, as if full of resilience and vitality.

As the light shines down, the entire statue reflects a dreamy and brilliant light that does not seem like something from this world.

"Gudong..."

Some people couldn't help swallowing.

Putting aside the carving, just such a large piece of white crystal without impurities is enough to sell for a sky-high price.

The "rare treasure" that Your Majesty mentioned is really rare. I'm afraid there is no other one in the world. Yet, you are willing to give it away as a reward...

As if he could see through what the ministers were thinking, Tan Konglin smiled and said, "This glass ornament is the treasure I gave to Nian Tu."

Of course, this was not what he really wanted to give Nian Tu.

He wanted to give her the most honorable position, to make her a marquis and a prime minister, so that people all over the world would praise her. But the time was not right now, and even if he did so with the imperial power, it would not be a good reputation for Nian Tu.

There was no other way, he could only follow Nian Nian's plan and reward her with her creations in a high-profile manner in the court to build momentum for her.

The ministers had no idea what the emperor was thinking, they only caught the important word, "Glass?"

Isn't this crystal???

His Majesty obviously had no intention of clearing up their confusion. He talked about a few more serious matters and then announced the end of the court.

The crystal clear orchid ornament was also picked up and sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion amid the shocked, admiring, and greedy gazes of the crowd.

Just a brief glimpse in the court whetted people's appetite, and the sound of discussions was endless.

Nian Tu left the palace and waited patiently at home. As expected, he received visiting invitations that came in like snowflakes.

Those officials were curious about the glass ornaments and wanted to appreciate them up close. However, the old Duke Zhenguo and Zong Shouyuan were not at home, so it was not polite for them to pay a visit to Nian Tu. They could only instruct the women in their family to do it for them.

There were too many visiting cards, and it would be too troublesome to entertain them all, so Nian Tu had made preparations in advance and simply held a flower-viewing party, inviting the ladies and nobles in the capital to attend the banquet.

Since it was a flower viewing party, it was necessary to have various flowers to decorate the place. Jinying and Yurui were still working in the flower room of the mansion. Nian Tu had taught them how to build a greenhouse when he was free. It was just a casual remark, but he didn't expect that they were very smart and effective. The flowers they grew in the cold winter were not inferior to those in the summer.

Before the banquet, many invited female guests secretly prepared to watch the show.

Where can we get flowers in such freezing weather? If we transport them from the south, they will lose their freshness, and I don't know how much money it will cost.

After all, she was born in a poor family, so even if she was lucky enough to get a good marriage, it would not be presentable.

After three days of waiting, the girls came as scheduled, wanting to see how Nian Tu would pretend to be rich.

However, as soon as they stepped into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, their eyes widened immediately, stunned by the colorful scene.

The garden is full of red peonies like fire and pink like clouds. Orchids of various varieties are blooming quietly. Although inconspicuous among the myriad flowers, they are fragrant. Double-petaled roses are all over the flower stands, embellishing the pavilions and towers. However, no matter how lively other flowers bloom, they can never steal the limelight from the peony, the king of flowers.

Even people who don't know the value of flowers can see the elegance and grace of these flowers, not to mention the women present who all know a lot and can recognize several varieties from the palace at a glance. They become more respectful and cautious in their every move, hiding all their contemptuous thoughts.

No matter what, Nian Tu is now the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and is favored by His Majesty. Her original background is not important anymore, after all, it has become a thing of the past.

When Nian Tu showed up to entertain the guests, he was faced with smiling faces that were impeccable and heard only words of praise and compliments.

Social interactions among wealthy families are often full of hypocrisy.

Although Nian Tu didn't like it, she wasn't shy about it. Having held a high position in the interstellar world for so many years, there were always formal occasions that required her to attend. She was well aware of these and was quite familiar with them.

This was her first time interacting with other women since she married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Previously, she had entrusted the work of sending New Year gifts to Steward Ding. In order to avoid mistakes, she had done her homework in the past few days and had found out the details of almost everyone who would attend the banquet.

After some greetings and testing each other, the women looked at Nian Tu again, and their eyes were very different from before.

...They underestimated this young lady.

The flattery became more enthusiastic. Someone mentioned Nian Tu's contribution in donating treasures to help suppress the rebellion in Yunnan, and the topic was led to the telescope.

Nian Tu smiled and nodded in response from time to time, but he was always vague. He easily evaded all inquiries and then got down to business, "Your Majesty has rewarded me with a glass ornament. I would like to share it with you today."

Appreciating flowers, glass flowers are also flowers, this is the highlight of today.

The guests nodded in agreement.

It was normal that they couldn't find out anything with such an important military weapon as the telescope. The glass ornaments were the purpose of their attendance at the banquet today.

Although he had heard of the magnificence and brilliance of the imperial gift, when Tu personally uncovered the silk and let the sunlight shine on the glass ornaments, there was still a loud gasp in the yard.

Seeing these dignified and noble ladies losing their reserve, staring in astonishment and becoming like stupid geese, Nian Tu's mind was completely settled.

Business is stable.

"May I come closer and take a look?" someone asked cautiously after a while.

She looked at the ornament carefully and it seemed to be different from crystal, but she was not sure and wanted to get closer to identify it.

If Nian Tu disagrees, everyone will understand. After all, the treasure is fragile and will be damaged if you are not careful.

Nian Tu was much more generous than they thought. He waved his hand and said, "Please help yourself."

These ladies, whose every move was regulated and who were most particular about etiquette and manners, would find it difficult to carelessly break the ornaments even if they were allowed to look at them casually.

……

The flower-viewing banquet lasted for several hours, and it was already dark when it ended.

Shunxi quietly brought Nian Tu back to the palace. Seeing that she looked happy, he asked, "Is everything going well, Madam?"

Nian Tu smiled and nodded.

If nothing unexpected happens, these aristocratic families will soon start to inquire about the origins of "Glass", and what they can find out is, of course, the information she prepared and released in advance, hoping that they will find out.
