Chapter 1111: Chapter 1116 Wealth Can Fight Against Country (2)

Because of this, Vermilion Pearl Grass was regarded as a treasure by Qu Luo Kingdom and was not easily shown to others. When the king of Qu Luo Kingdom heard that the Empress of Great Jin Nation adored plants, he generously presented her with one, and it was cherished and cared for by Empress Dowager Mo within the Jade Palace. She displayed it for everyone’s admiration only once a year on her birthday, and was reticent to reveal it on ordinary days.

The Vermilion Pearl Grass was extremely beautiful, and just a single glance each year was enough for the High Concubines, Princesses, and Royal Consorts to remember it vividly. Its leaves were lustrous and green, with veins clear and distinct as if carved from jade, and its roots were white like jade. Set against that eye-pleasing tender green, it was truly beautiful.

Regrettably, Empress Dowager Mo’s own Vermilion Pearl Grass had not yet grown or bloomed when it was destroyed by the order of Jin Guifei.

Therefore, when everyone saw this Vermilion Pearl Grass, and the budding flower buds adorning it, they couldn’t help but exclaim in their hearts that this plant was much better than Empress Dowager Mo’s!

Empress Dowager Mo was so moved upon seeing it that she stood up excitedly.

Her Vermilion Pearl Grass was destroyed before her eyes while she was under house arrest by an individual sent by Jin Guifei. Although she maintained a serene facade at the time, inside she bled from the pain.

That plant was her most beloved, always tended to personally, never entrusted to others, and yet, it was ruined before her very eyes. That pain was akin to a mother witnessing the murder of her child, a memory she could never forget...

And now, before her, stood a basin of the Vermilion Pearl Grass she had thought about day and night, which was not only larger than her own plant but also unexpectedly developed flower buds. She had never seen the flowers of the Vermilion Pearl Grass, and what could they possibly look like? She stared intently at the verdant and dripping plant, her eyes brimming with anticipation...

Cai Wei glanced at Princess Tuotuo, who had spoken, and laughed, "If Your Highness thinks the bridal gifts of my Unbox Ceremony are hasty, I invite Princess Tuotuo to find such a large basin of Vermilion Pearl Grass as well. When that time comes, I would be willing to purchase it for a hundred thousand taels of silver."

A hundred thousand taels, was a single broken plant really worth a hundred thousand taels?

Tuotuo didn’t believe it and snorted, "It’s just a plant, what’s so great about it? Mark my words, I will find one sooner or later!"

With a light laugh, Cai Wei turned her face away, deeming it beneath her to argue any further, and waved for the fourth portion of bridal gifts to be brought out...

The Unbox Ceremony of Cai Wei opened the eyes of the High Concubines, Royal Consorts, and Princesses within the Palace. From the priceless human-shaped Ginseng and rare Melo beads, to the unbuyable Vermilion Pearl Grass, and the never-before-seen exotic fruits, they were all stunned, as if they were dreaming, unable to believe their own eyes.

Having been born into the Royal Family, they had always believed they had extensive knowledge. What treasures in the world had they not seen? Only now did they realize how shallow their previous experiences were, like frogs at the bottom of a well. They had secretly ridiculed the Empress’s background before, but now, they finally felt the true stature of nobility in front of the Empress!

After inspecting Cai Wei’s bridal gifts, Empress Dowager Mo left with complex emotions, surrounded by the High Concubines, Royal Consorts, and Princesses...

Cai Wei ordered her belongings to be locked away, leaving behind a box of fresh fruit and two rolls of colored silk, instructing several palace maids to carry them on a shoulder pole, heading straight for Qingfang Garden.

When she previously resided in the Palace, Du Meiren had always taken genuine care of her, treating her as if she were her own daughter. So Cai Wei kept this kindness in her heart. Now that she had some free time, she went to visit Qingfang Garden.

The Cai Wei of today was no longer the Princess An Le of the past who awaited being sent off for a Marriage Alliance. She was now the Empress Dowager of Great Jin Nation, respected and honored as gold and jade, second to one, above ten thousand.
