Chapter 449: The Virtuous Queen's Good Name Spreads to the Capital
Yang Jieyu pretended to be sick and did not escape the weaving, and there was an extra spinning wheel in the dormitory, which suddenly became a laughing stock, and the harem concubines did not dare to make another time, and they all honestly embroidered and weaved with the princesses in Kunning Palace.
At the end of January, it was quite fruitful, and the satin cloth was stacked into a small mountain. The weaving products in the early stage are still a little frizzy, and the weaving products in the back are becoming more and more refined. After all, the concubine's biggest hobby is comparison, even embroidery and weaving are not far behind, if someone's weaving is exquisite and flawless, someone's weaving is unsightly, she herself can't stand the ridicule of others. I heard that Ma Xiuying will also select a few pieces to dedicate to Zhu Yuanzhang, who doesn't want his works to be in the eyes of the emperor.
Ma Xiuying selected a few particularly exquisite weaving products to dedicate to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others were given to those old lonely and widowed old people, but they did not expect that this move would cause a sensation in the capital.
These weaving products are all hand-woven by the nobles in the palace! Not to mention that the lonely old man was moved to tears, he was proud of this, and many people offered them on the table on the same day. Even some rich and noble families were red-eyed, and they expressed their willingness to buy silk and satin fabrics from the lonely old people at a high price, if they could be contaminated with a little dragon energy, they would have more face.
After Ma Xiuying learned about this from the prison attendant who distributed the weaving products, she told these lonely old people that they did not have to be taboo with royal items and did not dare to make a move, and if they could exchange it for silver taels to make their lives better, they would really play the role of these weavings. She even informed the dignitaries and nobles through the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they could directly fund the purchase of weaving products in the harem, and the silver obtained would be directly paid into the treasury for military resources and people's livelihood.
This move was unanimously praised inside and outside the court, even though the families of some concubines were secretly annoyed that Ma Xiuying treated their daughters harshly, and even treated their daughters as textile mothers, but in the face of the general trend, they had to pretend to smile and praise Ma Xiuying as a virtuous queen.
Ma Xiuying smiled faintly when she heard this, she never cared about the reputation of a virtuous queen, she just did things with her heart, and she never thought that the women in the harem were superior and could get something for nothing. The most important thing is that the women of the harem have something to do, they are a lot of peace, although it is not as hard as the real textile girl, but for them who never work are tired enough, they can't wait to go back to the palace to rest after working every day, how can they have time to compare with each other and provoke right and wrong.
Of course, this only made some of the concubines restrain their thoughts, but they couldn't stop Guo Hui, who hated Ma Xiuying very much, and Yang Jieyu, who had a deep hatred.
Last time, Guo Hui sent someone to ask Li Shanchang what he meant, and after waiting for a few days, he only waited for the words "be calm and don't be impatient", and almost didn't make Guo Hui angry half to death.
Every time, I thought I could create an incident for Ma Xiuying, but every time I was gently and skillfully resolved by Ma Xiuying. Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! When will you have to wait until you are old and yellow? Guo Hui stroked her delicate face, helpless and sentimental, if her father and brother were still there, how could she use the power of Li Shanchang and her own family to wave the flag and shout for her, even if she would not be as arrogant and domineering as Guo Ninglian and Yang Jieyu, she would never swallow her anger so much.
Guo Hui knew that Elder Li Shan was cunning, and he only cared about Mingzhe to protect himself if he was not careful, and Zhu Yuanzhang had just issued a strict order not to allow the harem concubines to interact with foreign ministers, it seemed that Li Shanchang couldn't count on it for the time being, and she fell on Yang Jieyu, who was still chattering.
Yang Jieyu looked resentful, gritted her teeth and said: "Concubine Cheng Mu squeezed out the concubines, and the queen tortured the concubines with the law, exchanging our hard work for her glory, and the emperor ignored it. Alas, there is almost no way for us to live in this palace, you have to think of a way. ”
"What can this palace do, the emperor's will is there. Guo Hui sighed.
Yang Jieyu blinked and said sourly: "Then you can't let the queen toss like this." You see that this day is cold, and the concubines will be numb in their hands and feet after sitting for a while, and after a few hours, the concubines will freeze. It's still a good life, there is an heir by the emperor's side, and the queen doesn't dare to call you around. ”
Can Yang Jieyu not be jealous? Guo Hui was almost demoted to a concubine by Ma Xiuying last time, but fortunately, she was found to be pregnant, and the punishment was gone, and at the same time, she didn't need to embroider and weave, and she was delicious and delicious in Jingyang Palace.
Guo Hui sneered in his heart, that is because Yang Jieyu is lazy and does not do things to be frozen, and people who really do things are tired and sweaty, where can they feel the cold. He said with pity: "There are a few hand stoves here in this palace, you can bring one back later." ”
Yang Jieyu pursed her lips, "Xie Niangniang cares, and the concubines also have it, but you can't hold the hand stove and weave cloth." ”
Guo Hui covered her mouth and smiled: "Then Jieyu will quickly conceive the emperor's heir, so that no one will dare to let you work." ”
Yang Jieyu's eyes lit up, and soon dimmed again, and said with a little envy: "If the concubine is as good as Niangniang, it would be good to give birth to a few heirs for the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor is wet with rain and dew, and the concubine can only see the emperor once or twice a month." ”
Guo Hui pretended to be surprised, "The emperor loves Jieyu the most, how can Jieyu meet once or twice?"
"The queen has already arranged the sign, and the concubines can see it wherever they want. As soon as Yang Jieyu mentioned Ma Xiuying, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and hate.
Seeing that the fire was coming, Guo Hui provoked coldly: "Although there are palace rules, the emperor still goes to Kunning Palace to eat every day, which shows that this regulation also varies from person to person." ”
Yang Jieyu complained, "Yes, she cares about her own grace, who cares about our thoughts and thoughts, and lets us work every day, obviously trying to torture us to the point that we can't become human, so that she can dominate the emperor." ”
Guo Hui didn't answer, and said instead: "I heard that the families of some concubines are very distressed, and they are persuading the emperor to focus on reproducing the emperor's heirs, so as not to overwork the concubines. ”
Yang Jieyu twisted Juan Pa and said: "The concubine's father and brother were also very distressed when they heard about the grievances suffered by the concubine, but they were far away in Shandong and couldn't face the saint, so they could only write a letter to plead. ”
"In the end, you still have a family to care about, which is like this palace...... So the most important thing in this world is family affection, fortunately, there are a few children in this palace to talk to comfort. Guo Hui's eyes were red and he sighed leisurely.
Yang Jieyu, who got the revelation, was thoughtful, comforted Guo Hui for a few words and left.
"Niangniang went to bed and rested, and was careful to move the fetus. Guo Xia carefully helped Guo Hui back to the room and asked, "Why do you have to see Yang Jieyu when Niangniang is uncomfortable, when she comes, she will only complain." The slave maid went and asked the doctor to come and take a look. ”
Guo Hui grabbed Guo Xia's hand and warned: "Don't go, I'm afraid that someone will harm the children of this palace, so I'll let Imperial Doctor Zou come over and have a look when he is on duty." "Maybe it was she who killed Cheng Mu Guifei's child, this pregnancy is a little suspicious, every time she eats and drinks, she must let Guo Xia carefully check it first, and even the imperial doctor who diagnoses and treats her only uses what she can trust.
Guo Xia endured the pain of pinching her fingers into the flesh, and changed the topic, "Yang Jieyu is short-sighted, what's the use of Niangniang telling her this?"
"If she wants to conceive a child, she has to try her best to climb the emperor's dragon bed, and if she wants to climb the emperor's dragon bed, she has to compete for favor. How could the other women in the harem allow her to seduce the emperor arbitrarily, she must not suffer if she has the support of her father and brother. Hehe, let's hope they'll fight each other. Ma Xiuying has always advocated that harmony is precious, and this palace wants to see how she calms the jealousy of the concubines this time. Guo Hui smirked.
