Xiao Shishi walked to Empress Zhou, and Empress Zhou held her hand affectionately. Then, she took a jade bracelet from her wrist.

Queen Yian was shocked and then smiled and said, "Empress, this is your favorite jade bracelet. You are willing to give it to this girl."

Queen Zhou was proud: "This is my future daughter-in-law, this is our family heirloom. Come to the child, I will wear it for you."

No one has ever been able to get the queen's favor. The palace maids who were serving each other were shocked. Everyone around Queen Zhou knew that this was the queen's most beloved bracelet.

Even Queen Zhou once said that after a hundred years, this jade bracelet would be buried with her. There were countless treasures in the palace, and Queen Zhou only had a special liking for this jade bracelet.

The jade bracelet has excellent germ quality, high transparency, pure and beautiful colors, bright green colors, and lively and vibrant colors. But in the deep palace, this is not a treasure.

Moreover, this jade bracelet is a flaw. Unlike the jade pendant that has no flaws and is warm, this jade bracelet has very deep flaws.

The ancients believed that jade has the "five virtues", and they often wear it on their body to remind people to be as pure and pure as jade, and the precious and rare jade and emeralds are regarded as symbols of courage, luck and purity by people. Moreover, they generally believe that jade has spirituality and can drive away evil spirits.

Unearthed in Neolithic tombs, the Dawenkou culture jade bracelet is square on the outside and round on the inside. The jade bracelet was flat on the inside and round on the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were gold-inlaid jade bracelets in the Tang Dynasty. It developed to the Song Dynasty jade bracelets in the shape of circular rings, flat on the inside and round on the outside, and plain and without patterns. Jade bracelets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are often decorated, such as bead patterns, rope patterns, bamboo joint patterns, etc.

"Water" is an important factor in the evaluation of jadeite. It is commonly known as "water head" in the industry. High transparency means water head. Such jadeite looks crystal clear and transparent, giving people a watery feeling.

Although the jade bracelet worn by Queen Zhou has a superior texture and is the best among jade bracelets. However, a flawed pattern on the jade bracelet makes this jade bracelet worthless in an instant.

However, when you look carefully, you will realize the mystery. In this crystal clear jade bracelet, a fiery red flaw is embedded in it. If you look carefully, you will find out.

This so-called flaw is a naturally formed pattern of a phoenix. The fiery red phoenix is ​​reborn from the fire from the jade.

Even the phoenix's beak, head, eyes, and rooster claws are clearly visible. Such a jade bracelet is an isolated product in the mortal world. It makes you have to admire the magic of the Creator, the phoenix in the jade, purely natural.

The emperor is the supreme true dragon, and the opposite is the golden phoenix that is the mother of the world. This phoenix jade bracelet is exactly what demonstrates the identity of Queen Zhou.

Such a rare treasure, Queen Zhou has always loved her life. Now, after seeing Xiao Shishi, she was able to bear the pain of giving up her love, took off the jade bracelet on her hand, and put it on Xiao Shishi's wrist.

Xiao Shishi was innocent but not stupid. She shouted in horror: "The Queen can never do anything, and the folk girl can't afford such a valuable gift."

Queen Zhou grabbed her hand tightly and said seriously: "Remember, remember, if you enter the royal door, you will get this gift."

That's right, if you become the crown princess, you will be the queen of the mother in the world in the future. In the world, as long as you want, you will definitely be able to get it.

Perhaps because she was stunned by the momentum of Queen Zhou, Xiao Shishi actually forgot to struggle. In this way, Queen Zhou put this jade bracelet that symbolized the world of motherhood on Xiao Shishi's wrist.

Queen Yi'an felt very relieved. She knew that if Queen Zhou had not loved her daughter-in-law very much, she would never have given her such a beloved thing.

When Xiao Shishi entered the palace, she received approval from Empress Yi'an and Empress Zhou. The palace ladies also passed the physical examination, which means that one foot of Xiao Shishi had stepped into the threshold of the Crown Princess.

After returning to the mansion, Empress Zhou sent people to give me countless gifts. The entire Shen family mansion was filled with various palace gifts.

The saltpeter mine in Laojun Mountain in Sichuan was finally on track, and Zhu Cixuan also decided to return to Beijing and set off. The 12th Regiment Battalion returned triumphantly. This time, it can be said that the whole country celebrated.

After years of fighting on the battlefield, Zhu Cilang has grown into a handsome young man. His face is no longer childish, but instead he is determined to be strong and mature.

But at this moment, civil strife broke out again in Shanxi.

Before, in order to pacify the bandits in Shanxi, Zhu Cixuan had no choice but to allow the generals in Shanxi to lead the military and political power, which has always been separated by military and political power. Once the military and political power is monopolized, it is easy to cause local troops to be respected.

But this result eventually occurred in Shanxi. Qiu Zheng from Fenzhou, Cao An from Liaozhou, Li Yuanwu from Zezhou, Zhao Silong from Pingyang Prefecture, Wang An from Leping, Guo Shanjia from Qinzhou, etc., all of them have their own troops.

After destroying the bandits in Shanxi, these local generals began to annex each other. Among them, Qiu Zheng from Fenzhou killed Cao An from Liaozhou and Li Yuanwu from Zezhou, and brought his troops under his command. Qiu Zheng claimed to be 700,000 powerful soldiers under his command.

Zhao Silong from Yangfu joined forces with Wang An from Leping to eat Guo Shanjia from Qinzhou, and the two of them each had 300,000 troops.

These local generals did not obey the jurisdiction of the imperial court at all. They did whatever they wanted in the local area and were simply local local emperors.

This is the consequence of Zhu Cilang's incline to allow Shanxi autonomy. Although this move wiped out the bandits who caused chaos in Shanxi, the sequelae was also serious, that was, it caused the local generals to monopolize their power.

They did not pay the taxes to the court, and they ignored the officials sent by the court. It can be said that they had become local emperors.

Zhu Cilang was very angry. He decided to take the 12th Regiment Battalion back to Shanxi and deal with these ignorant generals.

However, before Zhu Cixuan could go north, these generals with self-respecting troops were actually destroyed.

This was beyond Zhu Cilang's expectations, and the people who defeated Qiu Zheng, Zhao Silong and Wang An were just generals with less than 20,000 people.

This person is one of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji, whose courtesy name was Cuili, was from Jinzhou Wei in the late Ming Dynasty. According to the Zhou family genealogy, he was originally from Fenghu Mountain, Suining, Jiangsu Province, and was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. At the battle of Ningwu Pass, he fought against the rebel army and died in battle. He was posthumously awarded the title of Taibao and was posthumously named Zhongwu.

Zhou Yuji made countless achievements in combat and once fought with the Qing Dynasty for three days and three nights without retreating. The once-matched thief Li Zicheng once wanted to give up the capture of Ningwu Pass.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's energy that had been exhausted, Zhou Yuji would have been a person who turned the tide.
