Chapter 1051: An Ancient Emperor Who Rides on the Necks of Three Emperors
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 said hurriedly, "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 smiled and said, "When he left, he told me that judging from my face, I must be a relative of the royal family. I thought at the time, Xia'er is a princess, and Chu Jun will soon become the empress dowager, so am I not destined to be a relative of the royal family? But a few days later, one night, Chu Jun acted mysteriously 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 her 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."
Before she finished speaking, Er Er immediately stood up from Wei Pingting's arms, her little mouth pouting like a bottle of oil could hang on it, "Grandma just said that Er Er is a sweetheart!"
How come there is another little sweetheart? How many little sweethearts does grandma have?
In the children's hearts, Yao Sheng is the most senior one among them. Whoever is more important in the grandmother's heart will be particularly proud.
Yao Sheng was stunned by the question, and hurriedly tried to comfort the child, "You are all grandma's little sweethearts, the apple of her eye!"
Yi Yi asked seriously, "Is that the same for Yi Yi?"
"Of course, it must be." Yao Sheng did not dare to be vague at all.
Yi Yi was satisfied and asked again, "Who is Emperor Heng of Liang?"
Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.
"It's your father!" Emperor Wen Xuan replied with a smile.
Yi Yi's face was full of longing, "Is it the particularly good-looking person in the painting?"
Wei Pingting didn't know what kind of painting it was, but it didn't affect her answer, "Your father is definitely one in a million handsome!"
Shi Anxia wanted to tell Yi Yi that Master Xun was his father, but the words did not come out of his mouth. He wanted to give the children a surprise at the wedding.
Emperor Wen Xuan couldn't help but pick them up one by one and put them around his neck.
Yi Yi rode on Emperor Wenxuan's neck with familiarity, and even commented, "This uncle is not as tall as that emperor uncle."
Shi Anxia: "..."
You really are a child!
Emperor Wenxuan knew that Yi Yi was talking about his brother Xiao Zhi, and explained to him patiently, "Uncle is still growing! After a while, uncle will definitely grow taller."
"What if I can't grow taller?" Yi Yi asked again.
Shi Anxia rubbed her forehead, unable to listen any longer, "Yi Yi, get down here!"
That's the emperor! You're sitting on his neck and saying he's not tall!
Emperor Wenxuan didn't care at all and tried to smooth things over, "Sister, don't yell at me. He is still young and doesn't understand the ways of the world."
I myself don't understand the ways of the world, let alone a child of a few years old? Emperor Wen Xuan, who felt that he was still clear-headed, was inexplicably proud.
Yi Yi didn't know that, including his emperor father, he was the only emperor in history who had ridden on the necks of three emperors.
"Xia'er, it's time to set off," another uncle, Shi Yunqi, came into the room.
The three children stared at their uncle's face and were all stunned.
I just wonder where I have seen this uncle before?
The children looked at their mother and uncle with their bright eyes. Suddenly they realized that this uncle was their real uncle.
Everything else is...wild uncle.
The wild uncle who was holding Yi Yi on his neck asked excitedly, "Yunqi, where is the charcoal seller? Have you found out?"
Shi Yunqi was about to bow and answer, but was stopped by Emperor Wenxuan, "I am just a guard now, don't be so polite."
Shi Yunqi then said, "Emperor Yu of Liang has personally come to the border of Tiema City to welcome the bride, and envoys from other countries have also arrived in Minzhou of Liang."
