Chapter 85 Ning'an Palace
The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the windowsill and onto Xu Qiuyue's face, warm and bright.
Stimulated by the sunlight, Xu Qiuyue opened her eyes.
She also didn't expect that she would arrive in the capital so soon.
However, in her previous life, Xu Qiuyue lived in Xuan Jiuqing's palace.
I just changed my place in this life.
The capital city is the most prosperous place in the entire Sheng Kingdom. In her previous life, Xu Qiuyue had stayed in the capital city for more than ten years.
So Xu Qiuyue is still familiar with the capital city.
It's just familiarity.
"Qiuyue, hurry up and get dressed. I'll take you to the Ning'an Palace to meet your grandfather today." Lu Yuan urged Xu Qiuyue.
Lu Yuan wore a special green gown today, which was discreetly embroidered with green bamboos. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell there was any embroidery on it.
Xu Qiuyue didn't expect that Lu Yuan also had such unpretentious clothes.
I have to go to pay a visit to King Ning'an so soon.
In her previous life, Xu Qiuyue rarely dealt with King Ning'an.
Prince Ning'an is a king of a different surname from the Sheng Kingdom, and his wife is the sister of Emperor Sheng, so Lu Yuan also has a trace of royal blood.
So Lu Yuan also has a trace of royal blood.
Now that Lu Yuan wants to pass the imperial examination, he will definitely need this relationship.
No wonder Lu Yuan came to ask me to get dressed so early in the morning.
"My husband, have you thought about what gift to prepare for Grandpa?"
Xu Qiuyue asked Lu Yuan, this immediate visit would show sincerity, but it would be bad if the gift was not well prepared.
"Qiuyue, you underestimate your husband. You don't have to worry about trivial matters such as gifts. I, Lu Yuan, have nothing else but money.
Don't worry, what I prepared won't be bad."
Lu Yuan patted his chest and said to Xu Qiuyue very confidently.
This was the first time Xu Qiuyue felt that Lu Yuan was stronger than Xuan Jiuqing.
Xu Qiuyue also picked out a plain-colored dress to match Lu Yuan's clothes.
Such a flamboyant Lu Yuan actually chose plain clothes, which shows that Prince Ning'an should like plain clothes.
"You are dressed like this. People who don't know me would think that I, Lu Yuan, have fallen on hard times. Xingzhu, go get the jewelry and clothes from my private vault."
Lu Yuan frowned when he saw Xu Qiuyue wearing a light yellow dress.
Although this outfit is nice, it doesn’t look luxurious enough.
Xingzhu quickly brought over a bright red dress that was embroidered with all kinds of jewels. One could feel the brilliance of the jewels at the first glance.
This is not a piece of clothing, it looks like various kinds of jewels. Although it looks very rich, it is a bit tacky.
"No need, I can just add a few more sets of jewelry. My mother gave me a lot of jewelry."
Xu Qiuyue refused directly.
This outfit is really too exaggerated. She is not Lu Yuan, who can wear such exaggerated clothes.
Xu Qiuyue had a white jade hairpin slanted on her head, which looked very much like a freshly picked white plum. Apart from that, she only wore a jasper hairpin decorated with thin silver beaded tassels, and a jasper bracelet on her wrist.
On her snow-white neck, she wore a string of jade beads, and below the pendant was a white jade plum blossom, the petals of which were bordered with gold, making it look very gorgeous and exquisite.
Although the clothes are a bit plain, they are embellished with jewels, making them look extremely wealthy.
Moreover, these jewels are in sets, and their value is self-evident. Lu Yuan looked at Xu Qiuyue's outfit, and although he still felt that it was a bit plain, Xu Qiuyue had a pretty face, which made the clothes look more extraordinary.
Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue arrived outside the Ning'an Palace in a carriage.
Walking into the Ning'an Palace, Xu Qiuyue was stunned by the scene before her. The palace was magnificent and the buildings in the palace were towering into the sky, majestic and magnificent.
She couldn't help but sigh at the magnificent style, which was not inferior to the imperial palace.
This palace is truly luxurious, and is not inferior to the imperial palace.
It seemed that she and Xuan Jiuqing had lived in the worst place in their previous life.
If you want to achieve big things, the expenses will be huge.
In order to attract talents, Xuan Jiuqing was extremely generous in giving money.
Another reason was that he also wanted to promote his reputation as a wise and benevolent person, so the furnishings in the palace were very ordinary.
Outsiders thought that he married a peasant girl, who was ignorant and that was why she lived in such poverty.
Although Xuan Jiuqing is a prince, his mother's family does not have very strong power.
What's more, his mother is already dead.
Naturally, the family was not well-off, so every time Xu Qiuyue went out to meet guests, she would have to spend money to buy these gifts.
If you are not well prepared, you still have to say a few words.
The life of a prince was very tight, until later when Xu Qiuyue's business expanded and his life became better.
Because of this, Xu Qiuyue was branded as a greedy person, and everyone believed that she made money by relying on Xuan Jiuqing.
But who knew that most of the gold and silver was given to Xuan Jiuqing.
Emperor Sheng was not particularly fond of Xuan Jiuqing. He just wanted to have a son who could restrain the crown prince and stop him from thinking about taking the throne and instead think about dealing with other princes first.
It was not until Xuan Jiuqing offered the spiritual spring water that Emperor Sheng began to allocate resources to Xuan Jiuqing and started to cultivate Xuan Jiuqing.
Now that the spiritual spring water is gone, Xuan Jiuqing can only sit on the bench unless he can find something comparable to the spiritual spring water.
Lu Yuan brought Xu Qiuyue to the study of Prince Ning'an. Prince Ning'an sat upright in a chair with a solemn expression and deep eyes.
Xu Qiuyue calmly bowed to him. She understood that this old man had an extraordinary status and was the ruler of Ning'an Palace.
"Grandpa, this is my wife, Xu Qiuyue. Today, your grandson specially brought her to meet you." Lu Yuan introduced respectfully.
Prince Ning'an nodded slightly, his eyes lingered on Xu Qiuyue for a moment, as if examining everything about her. Xu Qiuyue felt an invisible pressure, which was uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but want to release her own power to resist, but Xu Qiuyue held back. Just as Xu Qiuyue was about to resist the pressure and salute Prince Ning'an again.
Lu Yuan stood in front of Xu Qiuyue and said to King Ning'an with a smile: "Grandpa, your grandson has carefully selected a lot of gifts for you this time."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a servant presented a list of gifts.
Xu Qiuyue took a quick glance at it and realized that this thing was not cheap.
Lu Yuan was already so rich at this time.
Xu Qiuyue originally thought that the gift Lu Yuan gave to Xuan Jiuqing was already a huge expense.
But the total of all the gifts was not as much as the one Lu Yuan gave to King Ning'an.
Xu Qiuyue felt that Lu Yuan might be richer than she imagined.
"You sly fellow, grandpa is so happy that you can come. This must be the first time for my granddaughter-in-law to come here, and she hasn't had a good look around yet!
Butler Wen, ask Yuerong to come over and take the grandson's wife for a good stroll around the palace."
