Chapter 54: Rewards

In the middle of the afternoon, Yu Ming stood on the moon lift under the verandah of Chuxiu Palace to prune the flower branches, and heard Xu Jinlu come to report that the emperor's reward had arrived. Hao Ming smiled slightly, just thinking that he had not yet entered the palace, and there were no good things to usher, but now it was raining in time.

The reward is also an old acquaintance of Ming Ming, or the very handsome Wang Qin, the deputy chief eunuch of the sixth grade in front of the emperor. Xu Jinlu said on the side: "The prince is in front of the palace, but he is the first person under the management of Mr. Wu!"

While speaking, Wang Qin had already come in, and he quickly saluted, "The slave has asked Concubine Shu to say goodbye!"

He smiled and raised his hand, "Hurry up." “

Wang Qin smiled and pointed to the large and small gift boxes held by several little eunuchs behind him, and said: "The emperor instructed the servants to give rewards to the new little masters, but only to give you the most abundant and valuable reward! There are a total of one brocade satin, two cloud satin, two makeup satin, four Hangxi, a white jade eight treasures auspicious Ruyi handle, a pair of Hetian jasper bracelets, a pair of filigree gold pavilion earrings, a total of 12 gold hairpins and gold hairpins, two boxes of various silk flowers, one side of the inkstone, two boxes of mud gold tribute ink, and a box of wolf pen. ”

There are so many good things, Hao Ming naturally smiled and squinted his eyes, and hurriedly asked Xu Jinlu to reward Wang Qin with the silver ticket as an errand tip.

As soon as the emperor's reward arrived, it was followed by the reward of the queen of the middle palace, and after the queen, there were concubines and concubines, all of whom made good shots, but naturally the emperor's reward was the heaviest, and the queen was slightly reduced by two points, and the second concubine was reduced by three points. It's just that this afternoon, it made Mingming's hands soften when he received the reward.

The concubine's reward was either silk or jewelry, or some tonic, but only the emperor rewarded her with the four treasures of the study. Especially the Fang Duan inkstone, it seems to be quite old, and it is still an antique. Duan inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones since ancient times, its stone is solid, lubricating and delicate, with the end inkstone grinding ink is not sluggish, the ink is fast, and the ink developed is smooth. Write smoothly without compromise. Therefore, it is extremely precious.

And the style of this square inkstone is also elegant, the whole inkstone is slightly larger than the palm, and the whole looks like a lotus leaf, with twists and turns on all sides. There is also the texture of the lotus leaf, which is very finely carved, and there is a frog lying in the corner of the ruffle, and the frog's cheeks are bulging, as if it is going to "croak" in the next second.

I like it very much. I played with it in my hand for a while, and then I asked the bottom to take it down and put it into storage.

As usual, on the first day of the new concubines staying in the East and West Sixth Palaces, the green head cards have not yet been made, so they naturally will not go to bed.

Approaching ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Jinlu had already registered all the rewards he had received, "Except for the two Hangxi horses that Niangniang said she would reward the Bai nobles in the apse for making summer clothes, the rest of the minions have already been put into storage." ”

Bo Ming bowed slightly, this Xu Jinlu was very quick in his work, "I'm afraid the days are getting hotter and hotter day by day." It is the most suitable to use light and breathable Hangxi silk to make a close-fitting summer coat. ”

Xu Jinlu said: "Niangniang's heart, Bai Guiren said that he was very grateful, and said that when he got better in the future, he must come to thank Niangniang." ”

The corners of her lips smiled, and she suddenly felt a little curious, "By the way, you just said that Bai Guiren had a miscarriage, so how did she have a miscarriage, and when did she have a miscarriage?"

Xu Jinlu looked around. Only then did he lower his voice and said: "Bai Guiren has also served the emperor for some years, and he is also an old man of the domain, so the emperor named her a noble person as soon as he ascended the throne, and then it didn't take long. Bai Guiren became pregnant. But later, somehow, when Bai Guiren came out of Chengqian Palace, he accidentally stepped on the steps outside the hall, and fell down, and the four-month-old dragon fetus was gone. It's really pitiful!" Xu Jinlu sighed as he spoke.

"Oh?" Mingming pondered, lowering his eyebrows. "Chengqian Palace?"

Xu Jinlu hurriedly said: "It's Concubine Hui's Niangniang Palace." ”

"Concubine Hui?" Ming's eyes narrowed, she still remembered the day when Shu Fangzhai listened to the play, the gentle woman who was very tender and sweet in front of the emperor didn't seem to be a good person.

Xu Jinlu smiled, "Concubine Hui Niangniang was the favored crown of the six palaces at that time! It's a pity that because of Bai Guiren's miscarriage, she also ate some hanging, and as a result, she was deprived of the right to associate the six palaces, and it has not been restored so far!"

Ming raised his eyebrows: "This matter is so lightly revealed?"

Xu Jinlu laughed, "It's all because the palace maid of Chengqian Palace was not careful, and she accidentally sprinkled oil on the steps outside the palace, and forgot to clean it up afterwards, so she caused Bai Guiren to have a miscarriage." After that, the palace maid was naturally killed with a rod. ”

Hao Ming couldn't help but ask: "The emperor didn't pursue it any further?"

Xu Jinlu shook his head.

"What about Bai Guiren, she was willing to give up in the first place?"

Xu Jinlu smiled and said: "What can you do if you are not good at giving up? How favored is Concubine Hui? How can Bai Guiren shake it? Therefore, after Bai Guiren had a miscarriage, he made trouble for a few days and then accepted his fate. Since then, he has moved out of Chengqian Palace and lived in the apse of our Chuxiu Palace. Now, more than two years have passed. ”

Hao Ming glanced at Xu Jinlu, "Do you think this matter was instructed by Concubine Hui?"

Xu Jinlu smiled shyly and said, "This matter...... It's hard to say. ”

yes, it's hard to say. No matter how low Bai Gui's status is, he was the emperor's heir at the beginning, if it was really Concubine Hui's victim, could the emperor really not condemn her at all? Or is it true that the emperor really loves Concubine Hui to such a point? To be honest, I really don't think that the emperor is the kind of master who will be played with by a woman in the palm of his hand.

Xu Jinlu saw that he didn't say a word, so he laughed, and said busily: "Although Niangniang has not officially performed the canonization ceremony now, all the expenses are according to the concubine position. The eunuch under the side has already received the Niangniang's food for today. ”

"Oh?" Mingming raised her eyelids, "You can tell me how much I eat." ”

Xu Jinlu said "yes", "According to the concubine's degree, there are fifteen plates of mutton, ten chickens, ducks and geese per month, fifteen taels of Lu'an tea per month, and eight taels of Tianchi tea per month." In addition to this month, the daily diet also includes six catties and eight taels of pork, one liter of japonica rice, two catties of white flour, two catties of sugar, five taels of sesame oil, one catty of tofu and eight taels, ten catties of seasonal fresh vegetables, and a number of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. It's just that the ingredients are naturally fresh, and they are generally received once a day, and then sent to the Chuxiu Palace dining room to cook three meals a day for the mother. ”

He shook his head slowly: "It's a lot." In this way, ten or eight dishes per meal is not a problem. It's much more hearty than she eats in the Squire's Mansion. It's just that these things are ordinary ingredients, and there are no mountain and sea delicacies such as bird's nest and shark fin, and it seems that the palace lady is not a vegetarian and ginseng wing.

Xu Jinlu said again: "The servant has already ordered the dining room to cook, and there is also a box of fine official swallows in the queen's reward." Bird's nest is the best way to nourish yin and nourish the skin, why don't you ask the slave to boil a rock sugar bird's nest at the bottom?"

He asked suddenly, "Did the new concubines all reward bird's nest?"

"Then where can we?" Xu Jinlu said with a smile, "Everyone has a share of silk and satin clothing, but the quantity is different." But this bird's nest was only rewarded to Niangniang, as well as the two nobles of Suo Yuluo and Lu Xiaozhuo, and the others were only given some ejiao. ”

Oh, sure enough, you still have to treat them differently.

The dinner is very rich, it can be seen that the Chuxiu Palace dining room also has the intention to stammer, especially the bad goose stew is very fragrant, the meat is also very delicious and tender, and the tofu soup is also very delicious, which shows that the ingredients are all good.

After dinner, the eldest Bai Peony and Bai Zhi fell asleep with their attendants, and Bai Peony gently lowered her bun with her hands and feet, and combed a waterfall of green silk with an ivory comb.

Bai Zhi said sweetly: "Niangniang's hair is so good, black and straight, like satin." ”

Ming smiled and looked at himself in the mirror, yes, the hair is indeed a little thicker and darker than before, which shows that the Shou Karasuma recipe of the "Lanshi Medical Sutra" is very effective. Just thinking of Shou Karasuma, I can't help but think of the fire ball. Since beating her to participate in the draft, the fire group has had to stay in the Shilang Mansion for the time being, and I don't know what happened to it now.

"The emperor was drafted for the first time since he ascended the throne, although he left twelve little masters all at once. But only Niangniang stood out from the crowd, and she was crowned the concubine Niangniang at once, and the reward was also the most, which shows that Niangniang will be able to favor the six palaces in the future. Bai Zhi's mouth was full of flattering words.

Hao Ming looked at himself with his black hair draped over his shoulders in the mirror, his face gradually became pale, and his tone was a little deep: "What is 'pet crown six palaces', this kind of thing is not allowed to be said in the future!!"

The tone of the humming was extremely harsh, Bai Zhi couldn't help but tremble in her palms, and hurriedly bowed her head, no longer daring to slap her ass indiscriminately.

This kind of special favor is not a good thing! For example, Concubine Hui in the past was favored like that, but because of this, it has become the resentment of all the concubines, and I am afraid that even the queen will be dissatisfied. Naturally, it's also because Concubine Hui is from a humble background, so it's also called Concubine Xian a lot of resentment, right?

Bai Shao picked up the rock sugar bird's nest as a supper, "The bird's nest is no longer hot, the mother should rest early after eating, tomorrow is the day when the new concubines will meet the middle palace." As usual, you have to knock on the queen's mother, and the new concubine will be arranged to sleep. ”

"Yes, then I have to go to bed early and get up early." ”

Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "Niangniang doesn't have to get up too early, in the past, it was three o'clock to ask for peace, but now the queen is pregnant, and the hour has been changed to the hour." ”

The hour of the hour, that is, eight o'clock, is indeed not early. What's more, the ancients went to bed early, so they naturally didn't worry about being late.

Even so, it's just that it's a new place, and the bed and pillows are a little uncomfortable, but they turn over and over, and they gradually fall asleep when the night is dark. But fortunately, Hao Ming has cultivated the Baishou Xuanjing, although it is only the realm of practicing qi, but his body and bones are much better than ordinary people, and it is enough to sleep for three hours. (To be continued.) )
