After my pharmacy was opened, I turned my life around.
Chapter 108 An Zhiyuan goes to the Great Zhou Dynasty
Chapter 108 An Zhiyuan goes to the Great Zhou Dynasty
An Zhiyuan looked at the ancient costume dress that Xiao Jingyan prepared for her, her eyes full of surprise.
This dress is made of moon-white silk, with a soft texture that looks as light as a cloud.
The sleeves of the clothes are embroidered with delicate light blue patterns, which look like gurgling water or lingering clouds and mist.
The neckline is inlaid with small pearls, exuding a warm luster.
A lavender ribbon was tied around the waist, perfectly outlining the slender waist.
The long skirt drags on the ground like a blooming flower, and every fold seems to tell an ancient story.
The delicate stitches and exquisite embroidery all highlight the luxury and elegance of this dress.
You can tell at first glance that it’s the work of a master craftsman.
“This was made in one day?”
She seriously doubted that the dress would take months to complete.
“Try it on.”
Xiao Jingyan did not say that he had ordered people to sew this dress three months ago.
An Zhiyuan went to the bathroom to change clothes. When she came out, Xiao Jingyan stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed on her.
An Zhiyuan was wearing a moon-white dress, looking as elegant and refined as a fairy from heaven.
Her hair was slightly scattered, with a few strands of soft long hair hanging by her cheeks, adding a bit of charm.
That exquisite face, set against the gorgeous clothes, eyes as clear as autumn water, red lips slightly parted, made her even more charming and beautiful.
Xiao Jingyan’s heart skipped a beat, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. There was only that stunning figure in his eyes, as if everything in the world had lost its luster.
An Zhiyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a lively light flashing in his eyes.
She tilted her head slightly, and her hair swayed gently, exuding a playful atmosphere.
“What’s wrong? Ugly?”
Seeing him motionless and expressionless, she felt uneasy.
“There is no beauty that can surpass the beauty of the ages. A beauty that pleases the eyes is a beauty. A beauty that overwhelms the whole country and astonishes the whole world.”
An Zhiyuan pursed her lips slightly, and her shy look was like a flower bud about to bloom, delicate and beautiful.
When Xiao Jingyan and An Zhiyuan appeared in the palace, the maids and guards in the palace were stunned.
The guards were curious but did not dare to ask directly, while the maids whispered to each other.
Just when everyone was curious, Xiao Jingyan gathered everyone into the yard.
He introduced An Zhiyuan to everyone as his distinguished guest, and everyone must treat An Zhiyuan the same way they would treat him.
“Here!”
“Yes!”
Everyone took orders.
Then, Xiao Jingyan ordered people to prepare everything necessary for entering the palace, and then took An Zhiyuan to meet the emperor and the empress dowager.
They rode in a gorgeous carriage and drove towards the palace.
Along the way, An Zhiyuan felt both nervous and excited.
She didn’t know what was waiting for her.
Xiao Jingyan felt her nervousness and reached out to hold her slender, white hand.
“Don’t be afraid, everything is with me.”
The voice was full of tenderness. An Zhiyuan snuggled up to Xiao Jingyan, and her nervous heart relaxed a little.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, An Zhiyuan was shocked by the magnificent sight before him.
The tall city walls and magnificent palaces all demonstrate the majesty and dignity of the royal family.
I have only seen it on TV before, but never in real life, so it was really shocking.
Xiao Jingyan held An Zhiyuan’s hand tightly and took her into the palace.
In fact, before entering the palace, Xiao Jingyan had already told the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and others that An Zhiyuan was the person he would spend the rest of his life with.
In the palace, they met the emperor and the queen mother.
The emperor and the queen mother were both amiable people. They were shocked to learn from Xiao Jingyan that An Zhiyuan was a hermit and expressed their appreciation and support for her Western medicine clinic. An Zhiyuan respectfully saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and then presented the gift she had prepared.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother were very pleased with her gift and were even more impressed with her.
In the following time, An Zhiyuan and Xiao Jingyan had a pleasant conversation with the emperor and the empress dowager.
They talked about the development of the Western Medical Hall, the lives of the people, and the entire future of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
An Zhiyuan’s intelligence, kindness and bravery left a deep impression on the emperor and the empress dowager.
Finally, the emperor and the empress dowager gave their blessings to An Zhiyuan and Xiao Jingyan, and hoped that they would continue to contribute to the country and the people.
Before leaving Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother pulled An Zhiyuan aside.
The nanny behind him took out a wooden box and opened it, revealing a rare imperial green jadeite bracelet.
“This is a meeting gift from me to Yuan’er. It’s a small gift, I hope you won’t despise it.”
Oh my god! Even this return gift is so light, one is worth over 100 million, not to mention that there is a whole set inside.
“My Queen, this is already very valuable.”
“As long as you like it.”
After coming out of the palace, An Zhiyuan felt particularly happy.
Xiao Jingyan held her hand, and seeing the smile on her face, his thin lips slightly pursed into an arc.
When they returned to the pharmacy, they received a call from Old Mrs. Shen on their mobile phone and quickly picked up the call.
“Mrs. Shen.”
Old Madam Shen finally heard An Zhiyuan’s voice and her worries finally settled down.
“An girl, when I called you, you were out of service area. I thought something was wrong with you.”
It’s out of service area, probably because there was no signal in ancient times, An Zhiyuan said embarrassedly.
“Maybe the signal is bad. What can I do for you?”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time. I want to invite you to my house and tell you something. I wonder if An girl has time today?”
“Can’t we talk on the phone?”
“It’s better to talk about it on the spot. It won’t take too long. An girl, can you please give me some face as an old lady?”
“Okay! I’ll be there later.”
An Zhiyuan couldn’t refuse, so he agreed. After hanging up the phone, he shrugged helplessly at Xiao Jingyan.
“I can only go to the Shen residence first and then take you to my parents’ house.”
Xiao Jingyan smiled and rubbed the top of her head, “It’s okay, I’ll go with you.”
*
An hour later at Shen’s house.
Xiao Jingyan sat in the car waiting for An Zhiyuan.
She went to the Shen residence alone and followed the servant’s instructions to the treasure house.
An Zhiyuan wondered in his heart, could it be that the old lady wanted to sell her collection?
“Madam, what do you want from me?”
The old lady opened the box and found the kingfisher feather headdress that she had sold to her before.
“You want to sell them?”
The old lady shook her head slightly. “When you and Mr. Shi attended the Treasure Pavilion, I told you that this was a gift for my grandson’s wife. I wonder if An still remembers it?”
After her reminder, An Zhiyuan remembered that it was true.
“Yes! I remember.”
Old Madam Shen picked up the kingfisher feather headpiece and placed it solemnly in An Zhiyuan’s hand, with a kind smile on her face.
“I want to give her to you and make you my granddaughter-in-law. Actually, I know Nanchen likes you, but he has a cold temper and keeps everything to himself. Don’t blame him.”
“???”
The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle for a moment.
An Zhiyuan stared blankly at the jadeite in his hand, feeling confused.
