Chapter 83 White Jade Hibiscus Hairpin
Ye Huan patted her hands and said, "Okay, don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."
"If that's really the case, then you don't have to worry about her anymore. Once she enters the palace, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with her."
"Well, I hope so." The imperial concubine sighed softly, but she was always uneasy in her heart, always feeling that things were not that simple.
"Brother will also help you keep an eye on it. I will wait until the palace banquet tonight to test the Shen family's attitude and see what methods this woman has used to make my sister so worried."
"Then leave it to brother. Brother has worked hard on the way. Sister will not disturb you. You should have a good rest first."
"I also need to go back to the palace to change clothes and prepare for the dinner later."
Ye Huan nodded and sent the imperial concubine to the carriage at the door.
At the palace banquet at night.
Shen Leyan sat next to Shen's mother in a dignified and elegant manner. She was wearing a goose yellow hibiscus long dress today. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with small hibiscus petals, which was very delicate.
A jade hairpin is adorned diagonally on her head, and a few sparkling pearl flowers are adorned on her temples, which makes her look elegant and refined, and makes her look particularly bright and noble.
While Shen Leyan was waiting for the dinner to begin, a palace maid quietly came up behind her and told her that the emperor was outside and asked her to go out immediately.
The emperor is looking for her now?
But isn’t the party about to begin?
She glanced at the strange maid suspiciously and asked, "Did the emperor say what it was about?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know either. You will find out when you go there."
Then Shen Leyan informed her mother, got up helplessly and followed the palace maid out of the hall.
She was tense all the way and carefully observed her surroundings until she saw Emperor Yong'an, then she relaxed.
She slowed down her pace and walked to his side, whispering, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
Emperor Yong'an turned around, smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm afraid that after the banquet, you will follow them out of the palace and I won't have the chance to talk to you, so I want to check on you first."
Emperor Yong'an then held her in his arms and asked fondly, "Have you missed me these days?"
Shen Leyan also stretched out her arms to hold his waist, rubbed his chest, and said proudly: "I'm not thinking about the emperor!"
Emperor Yong'an pretended to be sad and said, "I think about Yan'er all the time!"
"Little heartless Yan'er."
Shen Leyan's ears turned red, and she buried her face in his chest, saying shyly, "I miss the emperor too."
Emperor Yong'an then touched her head with satisfaction, took out a white jade hibiscus hairpin from his bosom, and gently inserted it into her hair.
Shen Leyan touched the hairpin on her head in confusion, and asked in surprise, "Where did the emperor get this hairpin?"
"Today, I saw you dressed from afar on the city wall and thought this hairpin would suit you perfectly, so I asked Baoshun to get it from the Imperial Household Department."
Bao Shun, who was not far away, quickly chimed in, "This white jade hibiscus hairpin was made by a famous craftsman from the previous dynasty. The patterns carved on it are so lifelike, it seems as if water could drip from the pistil."
"The Emperor really thinks of you, Miss Shen, for all the good things!"
In fact, every time Emperor Yong'an made a move, he either spent a huge amount of money to create something rare or unique.
Shen Leyan was delighted, with a shy look on her face, and she said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"There's no need to thank me between you and me. Yan'er deserves the best."
Emperor Yong'an kissed her forehead and said softly, "Let's go, the banquet is about to begin, go in and take a seat first."
Led by the palace maid, Shen Leyan returned to the banquet hall.
At this moment, most people have almost arrived and taken their seats, and now only Emperor Yong'an is left to arrive.
Shen's mother was so worried that she wanted to ask the maid to look for her, but fortunately, Shen Leyan finally came back.
Looking at the hairpin on her head, it glowed faintly under the candlelight in the hall, adding a touch of nobility to her whole person.
Mother Shen gradually felt a sense of pride in her heart. She was indeed her precious daughter!
After Shen Leyan sat down again, she noticed her mother's gaze and nervously fiddled with the hairpin on her head, wanting to take it off to have a look.
But Shen's mother stopped him with a smile, "Yan'er looks very good in this jade hairpin, wear it first!"
"The Emperor asked you to go out just now, just to give you this white jade hairpin?"
Shen Leyan nodded shyly, "The Emperor said that this white jade hibiscus hairpin matches my outfit today, so he gave it to me."
"Your Majesty's vision is indeed good. I, your mother, think this kind gesture is the most precious thing."
Mother Shen has seen everything the emperor has done during this period. She was not particularly supportive at first, but now she is very relieved.
She believed in Yan'er's vision and supported her choice.
At this moment, a sharp voice came, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Emperor Yong'an slowly walked into the hall surrounded by his guards.
Everyone stood up from their seats and knelt in greeting.
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
Emperor Yong'an walked towards the highest dragon throne amidst the crowd's worship, and during the walk, he also exchanged glances with Shen Leyan who looked up quietly.
He said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite."
After everyone thanked the emperor, they stood up from the ground and took their seats again.
The banquet began, and the dancers came in one after another and danced gracefully in the center.
Emperor Yong'an's gaze fell on Shen Leyan from time to time, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.
When the dance ended, Emperor Yong'an raised his hand to signal. The eunuch beside him immediately understood and said loudly, "Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate the great victory on the border and to welcome our soldiers from Dazhao!"
Then Emperor Yong'an personally gave wine to commend the soldiers' achievements.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with the sound of drums and gongs, and the atmosphere was very lively.
At the banquet, large pieces of delicious grilled meat, fresh delicacies from land and sea, and a variety of meat and vegetable dishes were enjoyed to one's heart's content, and large bowls of fine wine conveyed a heroic atmosphere.
After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Yong'an suddenly stood up and said loudly: "My beloved ministers have made an indelible contribution to this border battle."
"But if we talk about merit, General Ye Huan is the most outstanding. Thanks to the bravery and fighting skills of the Ye family army led by General Ye, we were able to defeat the Dongli Kingdom so quickly." After saying this, he looked at Ye Huan below.
General Ye quickly stepped out of the ranks, knelt down, and thanked the emperor. "I'm deeply apprehensive," he said. "This is my humble duty. It's thanks to the bravery of all the soldiers that we were able to achieve victory."
"Haha, my dear minister, there is no need to be modest." Emperor Yong'an laughed, "I have decided to reward you with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of brocade as a reward. In addition, there is one more thing to announce..." At this point, Emperor Yong'an paused and kept the secret.
Everyone looked at the emperor curiously, wondering what reward he would reveal. Shen Leyan nervously clenched her wine glass, wondering what the emperor's intentions were.
