Mama Bu, the steward of the Yanqing Pavilion, was reporting to Zhao Yan about the situation of the show girl, and she reported that Concubine De asked to see her.

"Concubine De?" Zhao Yan smiled, thinking with her toes that she was also here for the Fourteenth Elder Brother. Concubine De really hurt this little son into her bones, so she was quite concerned about the marriage of the fourteenth elder brother. It's a pity that Concubine De is old, and it is difficult to see Kangxi, so naturally she can only come to Zhao Yan, the imperial concubine.

"Call her in. ”

Concubine De had a docile smile on her face, stepped forward quickly, and respectfully performed a blessing salute: "The concubine asks the imperial concubine Niangniang to say goodbye, and the concubine is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Zhao Yan let out a faint "um" and pointed to the enamel embroidery pier next to her: "Sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, mother. Concubine De sat down sideways, thinking that Concubine De was also a rare beauty when she was young, and now the wrinkles on her forehead at the corners of her eyes can't be covered by any layer of fat powder.

Concubine De had a flattering smile: "The concubine knows that the imperial concubine is busy with palace affairs, especially at this time, she must be even busier, the concubine should not come to disturb, but as a mother, she has to worry about the child's lifelong affairs." I also hope that the imperial concubine will be forgiving. ”

Zhao Yan had to admit that Concubine De's mouth was the best at talking, and even she, who didn't like Concubine De, was quite comfortable by her.

Zhao Yan smiled: "The marriage of the fourteenth elder brother has to be decided by the emperor, and the palace is just to select a few high-quality ones from the show girls and present them to the emperor." ”

"Yes, of course, we have to wait for the emperor's holy judgment, but I still have to worry about the imperial concubine. As she spoke, Concubine De took a red brocade box from her entourage, "This is what the emperor rewarded his concubines in the early years, but because it was too valuable, the concubines did not dare to use it. ”

With that, Concubine De opened the lid of the brocade box.

Zhao Yan was a little curious, and she glanced at the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but be taken aback at this glance!

On the apricot yellow silk of the brocade box, there is a clear and flawless white jade palace bowl! The texture is extremely delicate, and it is mutton fat jade at a glance! Although it is only the size of a palm, it is a mutton fat jade palace bowl! What is even more surprising is that the wall of the palace bowl is as thin as paper, and the outer wall of the bowl is also shallow carved with the pattern of the dragon playing in the water, and the scales on the dragon's body are clear and distinct, which can be called lifelike!

Not only the materials are precious, but the craftsmanship is also ingenious! It is rare for the jade bowl to be so thin, and there is such a complicated pattern carved on the thin bowl wall, the difficulty can be imagined!

This Jiaolong water playing mutton fat jade palace bowl can be called priceless, and it is no wonder that Concubine De dare not use it.

Zhao Yan was used to seeing luxury, and after a moment of surprise, she returned to normal, and she smiled faintly: "Concubine De is generous enough to make a move today." ”

Concubine De smiled and said: "This thing has been in the concubine's treasury for more than 20 years, and the concubine thinks that only the status of the imperial concubine is worthy of enjoyment, so she specially offered it, and I hope that the imperial concubine will not dislike it." ”

This bribe is heavy enough!

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, has it been in the treasury for more than 20 years? More than 20 years ago, that is, the years when Zhao Yan first entered the palace, Concubine De was indeed very favored at that time. But even if she is favored, such a precious thing, I am afraid that there may not be a second one! Concubine De is really stingy with everything for the sake of her youngest son!

"Bai Tan, take it. Zhao Yan commanded lightly.

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Tan took the palace bowl and stepped aside.

Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, she didn't give Concubine De face, it was purely because Ah Yu specially entered the palace a few days ago and begged, begging her to pay attention to pick a good one for the fourteenth elder brother. Ah Yu has always been very interesting to his brothers, and he is ...... to his wife

Zhao Yan shook her head secretly, Hesheri became more and more bitter, wasn't he snubbed by Ah Yan......? In the matter of the backyard, he is definitely not willing to be evenly wet. This is the source of the contradiction.

Hehe, anyway, she has no way, she can't make the Hesheri clan really virtuous, and she can't let Ah Yu pamper the Hesheri clan, you two love it!

"This year's show girls, there are really a lot of outstanding family backgrounds! The second daughter of the first-class Bomaqi, the second daughter of the Fucha clan, the daughter of Shangshu Marhan, the Zhaojia clan, the daughter of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Cha, and the princess's younger sister Guerjia. "These Zhao concubines all noticed when they were in the palace selection that the daughter of Ma Qi was the cousin of the Liufujin Fucha clan, and the two were grandfathers, and the relationship was the same as that of Sanfujin and Jiufujin.

If there is no accident between the Zhaojia clan and the Wanyan clan, it should be the future thirteenth and fourteenth blessings, only the little sister of the crown princess...... Zhao Yan also remembers Zhenzhen, who is only fourteen years old, and Zhong Lingyuxiu of Yishui. This made Zhao Yan very surprised, after all, the crown princess's appearance was not very outstanding, but she didn't expect her little sister to be so flowery.

It has not been easy for the crown princess these years, the prince is attentive, and she is nostalgic for young and delicate beauties all day long, and the princess is naturally neglected, and after giving birth to a daughter, she has never given birth to a child. It's really rare that he can still be virtuous and treat the prince well.

Zhao Yan said suddenly: "That Fucha clan is very good, his appearance is not inferior to Liufujin, and his etiquette is also very good. ”

Concubine De's smile stiffened a little: "No matter how good their Fucha family's character is, there is no need to ask the two sons of the concubine to marry their family, right?"

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows, you are really picky enough, this Fucha clan is not inferior to the little sister of the crown princess!

What Concubine De was thinking in her heart, Zhao Yan naturally understood that the last thing Concubine De wanted to see on weekdays was Sifujin, although Liufujin was slightly better than Sifujin, but she was rarely pleasant. Concubine De is afraid that if this Fucha clan is allowed to the fourteenth elder brother, the two daughters-in-law will definitely form an alliance!

Concubine De's desire to control the younger generation has really not changed at all!

"Oh, then who do you think is good?Zhaojia's family?Wanyan's family?or the princess's younger sister Guerjia's family?" Zhao Yan looked at Concubine De lightly.

Concubine De said with a smile: "The fourteenth elder brother has always been very close to the eighth elder brother of the imperial concubine, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to marry the sister of the crown princess." As for Zhao Jia's and Wan Yan's...... In terms of his father's official position, the Zhaojia clan is better, and if it comes to the surname, it is better to complete the Yan clan. ”

Yes, the squire Luo Cha is because the ancestor is the descendant of Wanyan Yongji, the king of Wei Shao during the Jin Dynasty, and he is also the third banner, so he is not inferior to the Manchurian surname of the Eight Great Families! However, the official position is the second rank of the squire, which is a head lower than the position of the first rank of the Zhaojia clan's Amma.

So Concubine De looked a little tangled.

Concubine De said cautiously: "Can the imperial concubine allow the concubines to meet these two beautiful girls?"

This is not an excessive request, Zhao Yan nodded, and instructed Mama Bu next to her: "Tomorrow afternoon, you bring these show girls to Zhongcui Palace." As he spoke, he said to Concubine De: "When the time comes, you can also come and take a look." ”

"Thank you Imperial Concubine Niangniang!" Concubine De was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and thanked her.

After Concubine De left, Zhao Yan muttered: "This year, the Yanqing Pavilion is peaceful, and there is nothing wrong." ”

Mama Bu said with a smile: "This year's show girls belong to these four outstanding family backgrounds, and there are exactly four brothers who should be married." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, isn't it! That is to say, no matter what, these four show girls can get a fortune!

Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
