Chapter 1024 The Empress Should Not Need It

As soon as the words fell, Ruoyin and everyone felt that William's words were fine.

After all, everyone here has seen a lot of worlds.

I know that foreigners speak more openly and directly.

This is known from the dresses of women in their country, as well as face-to-face and hand-kissing rituals at meetings.

But soon, Ruoyin felt so cold all over.

It was so cold that she couldn't help wrapping her clothes tightly again.

At this moment, she didn't need to look to know that the cold air must be emanating from fourth master.

William is also true. When you come to the Qing Dynasty, you feel embarrassed to come empty-handed, so you can just give a gift to Fourth Master.

But there's no need to bring her a present too.

Although the Mongolian man before her gave her something.

But what they gave was a gold-plated wooden bowl, and it matched with Fourth Master, it was a gift for couples.

He is fine, give jewelry, this...

Just at this time, the guards beside William opened a gold and silver carved gift box.

And those two gifts were presented in front of everyone.

I saw a long palm-sized emerald in the golden gift box.

It is emerald green in color, has a glassy luster, and is somewhat translucent.

Shaped like a crocodile, it also has natural crocodile patterns.

But because it is a pure natural texture, not processed.

So, there is something magical and unique about the look.

Even if Ruoyin sat at the top, he could still see it emitting a soft and rich light.

Even, it is green with a slight blue tint, which is very gorgeous.

Generally, emerald crystals are not large.

A palm-sized one like this is a unique treasure.

Immediately afterwards, when Ruoyin's gaze turned to the red diamond pendant beside him.

The guard next to William explained in broken Chinese: "Empress, this red diamond pendant presented to you by our king is a rare rose shape, with 77 facets at the top and 91 facets at the bottom. , there are 85 facets in the waist, a total of 253 facets, so that it will shine with zero flaws at any time."

Not to mention, Ruoyin felt that his eyes were going to be blinded just by looking at it like this.

Ruoyin held his lips, and was about to say something official, please be polite.

Who knew that the fourth master beside him said in a deep voice to William: "You have a heart, I will accept this natural crocodile emerald. As for your brother, I will order the court to help find it as much as possible, and I will give it to you as soon as possible." You issue an ultimatum for customs clearance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your accommodation," William said.

His country is an independent entity, not an ally with the Qing Dynasty, and does not need the protection of the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with those seemingly independent foreign vassals and Mongolian tribes.

He is from a truly independent empire.

And he doesn't have to bow his head to be a minister, he can call himself me.

However, he came here this time to find his biological brother.

Although he came to Daqing to look for it a few years ago.

However, due to some emergencies, he was not able to return home.

This time, he must find his brother, which is his primary goal!

That's why he went to the Forbidden City to participate in this diplomatic banquet, so as to get the customs clearance documents.

In this way, he can take his guards and search for his brother's whereabouts in the Qing Dynasty.

As for giving gifts, this is an expression of the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

It's like visiting someone's house as a guest and asking them to bring gifts.

This is upbringing and etiquette.

Fourth Master nodded slightly, raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on the red diamond pendant, "However, the empress probably won't need this pendant."

"Oh? Why?" William asked with raised eyebrows.

Fourth Master didn't speak, but just glanced at Ruoyin from the corner of his eye.

After getting along with fourth master for so many years, Ruoyin still has this tacit understanding.

She naturally understood the meaning in fourth master's eyes.

Thinking of Er Gege's attack on her at the family banquet, Fourth Master, who cherishes words like gold, helped her smooth things over.

At this time, let her reject the pendant that William sent.

Ruoyin pulled her lips, and replied with a slight smile: "King William, what a coincidence, when my palace was canonized a while ago, the emperor rewarded me with a unique diamond ring. So, you should give this to those who need it Bar."

"But the one I presented is a pendant, so it doesn't conflict with the queen's ring. Besides, mine is a red diamond, which is a treasure among diamonds, not an ordinary white diamond." William said.

Ruoyin always had a dignified smile on his face.

She held her lips, and said politely: "I'm sorry, I seem to like white diamonds very much, and I don't have any feelings for red diamonds that are flamboyant. Naturally, such a precious pendant cannot be kept in a dark warehouse all day long. What a pity."

The meaning of this is very clear, even if she accepts it, she will not wear it, and will only put it in a dark warehouse.

Moreover, this is in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, in the Forbidden City.

And she is the queen of the Qing Dynasty.

William described the diamond ring that fourth master gave her as an ordinary diamond.

Although the white diamond ring may not be worth as much as this red diamond pendant.

But it was also carefully selected by Fourth Master for her. It was unique and worth a lot.

Plus William had nothing to do with her.

In terms of emotion and reason, no matter from which point of view, she and fourth master are in the same camp.

Some words may change their taste when they come out of fourth master's mouth.

So, only she speaks in person.

Just like at a family dinner, when those words came out of her mouth, the taste changed.

But if it comes from fourth master's mouth, it will be convincing enough.

Otherwise, in front of so many foreign vassals and Mongolian princes, if she didn't join forces with the fourth master, she would conspire with William instead.

That is to lose the face of Daqing.

It also makes others think that she is not good at being a queen.

Especially those pedantic civil and military ministers will feel that she has lost her composure.

Seeing that Ruoyin insisted on not wanting it, William didn't say much.

He just nodded, and said casually and gentlemanly: "OK, then I will take back this red diamond pendant."

He still understands that twisted melons are not sweet.

And when he came to the Qing Dynasty this time, the most important thing was to get the customs clearance document and find his younger brother.

It is impossible for him to force other people's wives to accept the gift. It is not a gentleman, nor is it decent enough to make a fuss.

William picked up the wine glass on the guard's tray and gestured to Ruoyin and fourth master.

Then, he drank the wine in the glass very elegantly and gentlemanly.

Fourth master also held the wine in front of him, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

Then, he said lightly: "The queen is pregnant, so I will drink this glass of wine for her."

After finishing speaking, he waited for Su Peisheng to pour the wine for him, then raised his head again.

After rolling her sexy Adam's apple a few times, she drank the wine for Ruoyin.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyin's mouth twitched slightly.

She didn't intend to drink at all, because she was pregnant, and everyone knew that she could use tea instead of wine.

At all the banquets tonight, she didn't drink when others toasted her.
