Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2087

When Anxia took a look at the black jade, she realized that the gold thread was not inlaid later, but was a spiritual pattern naturally born in the jade veins. It was the "Golden Pupil Black Jade" that was rarely seen in a century.

This item is priceless.

Shi Anxia hurriedly said, "Mother, no, this is too expensive. He..."

"I found it specifically for Yi Yi." Yao Sheng raised his eyes and talked about the origin of the jade.

During the winter of last year, she was strolling in the Jade Market in the south of the city when she saw a scholar in blue holding a pitch-black stone, which he was selling for a thousand taels of silver.

There were three layers of onlookers surrounding him, all laughing at him for being so poor that he was trying to blackmail others with a piece of stove charcoal.

The scholar in blue explained that it was a black stone passed down from his ancestors and he would never sell it unless he encountered difficulties.

Later, when he saw that no one was willing to buy it, he lowered the price to five hundred taels of silver and promised to redeem it for a thousand taels of silver some day.

Everyone laughed at him for being wishful thinking and said he must be a liar.

"What happened later? Mother, how much silver did you pay for it?" Wei Pingting asked excitedly as she sat aside holding Er'er.

Yao Sheng replied, "I was looking for jade pieces for my grandson and granddaughter at the time. Seeing that he was sincere and honest, and seeing that he had a clear and honest face, and that although there was sorrow between his brows, there was no evil spirit, I paid him a thousand taels of silver."

The scholar in blue wanted to write a redemption deed and a pledge, but Yao Sheng refused, saying that there was no need to redeem it.

At that time, the blue-clothed scholar was obviously disappointed, but he was also very grateful.

Yao Sheng laughed and said, "When he left, he told me that judging from my face, I must be a relative of the emperor. I thought at the time, Xia'er is a princess, and Chu Jun will soon become the empress dowager, so I am destined to be a relative of the emperor. But a few days later, one night, Chu Jun acted mysterious and dragged me to Baoguo Temple in the middle of the night. When we were climbing the ninety-nine steps and were out of breath, Chu Jun told me that not only was his son-in-law not dead, but he was also Emperor Heng of Liang..."

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this. It was true, this was indeed the fate of a royal relative.

Later, the retired emperor arranged for a jade craftsman to help Yao Sheng to carve out the so-called black jade stone, which amazed all the craftsmen.

It is said that this black stone is a rare ore deep in the snowy mountains, and that even a grain of gold sand may not be found in a hundred pieces. Especially when it is cut to a depth of three inches, the chisel suddenly bursts out golden sparks, and a clear jade sound comes from the core of the stone.

There is an old saying among craftsmen that the sound of jade will reveal a wise ruler. No one dares to speak such words lightly, for fear that disaster may come from their mouths.

But Yao Sheng still heard some gossip, so he gave the jade to Tang Chujun and asked Tang Chujun to hand it over to the emperor.

She was afraid that this thing would bring fatal disaster to Yi Yi, after all, her grandson was not from the royal family.

As a result, the retired emperor asked Tang Chujun to return it to her, saying that such a spiritual object should have been given to Yi Yi.

The implication is self-evident

Yiyi is the son of Emperor Yu of Liang State, and there is a chance that Liang State will be handed over to Yiyi in the future. Yuming now has a wise ruler, which is a good thing.

Yao Sheng did not say these things in public, but only said to Yi Yi, "This piece of jade is the most valuable gift from my grandmother, but my grandmother has a request for you. Do you understand?"

Although Yiyi didn't quite understand those profound words, he knew that this piece of black jade was a precious treasure. He held the jade pendant tightly in his little hand, as if he was afraid that it would fly away, and bowed to Yao Sheng in a proper manner, "Grandma, just give me your instructions, Yiyi will remember them all!"

Yao Sheng said, "You are the older brother. You have to protect your two younger sisters and prevent them from being wronged. Can you do it?"

Yi Yi looked at his two cat-like sisters and patted his chest, "Er Er and San San are Yi Yi's biological sisters, so Yi Yi will naturally protect them. What's the difficulty?"

It's not difficult, but you just cut in halfway. San San, who always hides behind others, suddenly pushed her brother away, her face flushed, and she asked aggrievedly, "Then, grandma, do you still want to hug San San?"

She had been waiting for a long time, just listening to people talking nonsense.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw San San's aggrieved look as he was cut off by his brother.

Yao Sheng leaned over and hugged San San into her arms, rubbing her cheek against the child's soft face, her heart and eyes filled with unmelted love, "Our San San, you are really your grandmother's sweetheart."
