Chapter 12: Xianfu Palace (2)

Father-in-law De is worthy of being an old man who has been in the palace for many years, and he knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder, and when he heard me talk like this, instead of being angry, he laughed: "The little master has such an awareness, so that the slave can admire!"

turned around and pulled out the two little eunuchs behind him and said, "These two minions, one is called Xiao Fuzi and the other is called Xiao Chenzi, they are here to serve you. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info kicked Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi again: "Why don't you hurry up and ask the master for peace?"

Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi made a thousand fights, knelt down and said in unison: "Slave Xiao Fuzi (Xiao Chenzi) greets the little master! The little master is auspicious!" I didn't immediately call them up, and only after a breath did I say, "Get up." When you come to me, you will eat the king's fortune, and be loyal to the king, and if you betray the lord, I will not spare it. ”

Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi said in unison: "Yes... The slave is the slave of the little master, and he must be loyal to the little master!"

I nodded, and Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi got up and stood aside. Father-in-law De smiled and said: "Since the little master is still satisfied with the two of him, then the slave will retire first......" I signaled, and Ling'er cleverly went to see Father-in-law De leave.

After Father-in-law De left, I instructed Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi to help clean up the east side of the hall together, there are many people who are naturally good at work, Xiao Fuzi has great strength, and is responsible for bringing well water over, Ling'er and Dong'er are responsible for scrubbing the furniture and furnishings of tables and chairs with rags. Xiao Chenzi took a shovel to trim the ground in the yard that had just been cleared of weeds.

I stood in the courtyard, looking at the square-shaped sky cut by the courtyard, and sighed, in this palace, there really is such a corner, so that I can live here in peace. Although this courtyard was once overgrown with weeds, although this palace was the farthest place from the emperor. I'm still very happy.

With this faint joy, a smile also appeared on my face. It's like in this gloomy palace, you finally have your own world and can be isolated.

I couldn't help but go into the courtyard and say to Xiao Chenzi, "Keep it here, and in the spring of next year, we will plant some flowers and vegetables", "Build it with stones, and raise a few small fish there in the future", "Move that stone table and stool here, there will be shade here in the future, and it should be very comfortable reading and writing and drinking tea under the tree", and so on, and went to the room, and discussed with Nianyang "Where to put that candlestick to look better", "Should you hang a string of tassels on the bed curtain". After entering the palace for a while, today, Fang has a feeling of life.

The flame was high when they gathered firewood, and after an hour the courtyard and the house became completely new. The steps that had just been sprinkled with water were wet, and I didn't like the droplets of water to get on my shoes, so I stood outside the door, watching Si Yuan and Nian Yang busy inside and out.

When she was almost busy, a palace maid who was dressed even better than some of the promised to be there came with a few little palace maids holding brocade boxes. After entering the palace gate of Xianfu Palace, he first looked at the courtyard, and then waved a few times in front of him with a handkerchief in his hand, covering his mouth and nose, as if he was disgusted with the dust here.

Then he carefully avoided the potholes in the courtyard, walked in, looked at me standing in the courtyard a few times, and then opened his mouth lightly: "You are a nobleman, right?" Then he turned his head and gave a color to the little palace maid holding the brocade box, and several little palace maids walked to the front in a row and opened the brocade box.

The palace maid said: "The slave maid is the Poria cocos next to Concubine De Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang on her housewarming, these are all gifts to you by Concubine De Niangniang - a pair of dark green peach branch jade Ruyi, two snow brocade from southern Xinjiang, a gold and gilt rhododendron hairpin, and a pair of gold and jade white jade bracelets with floral flowers, please accept them." "Every time the palace maid Poria thought of one, the maid with the gift took a step forward, brought it to me and showed me it carefully, and then retreated.

When I had finished introducing everything, a row of bounty treasures was placed in front of me. Although my position is not high, I am also a noble person personally given by the emperor and the queen mother, and I am the master, how can I let the momentum of a palace maid be suppressed?

I said lightly: "Concubine Xie De's mother's reward." "I just bent my knees slightly, and I didn't show too much joy, and I didn't think it was disgusting. Then he turned his head to Si Yuan and Nian Yang and said, "Take it." ”

When Si Yuan and Nian Yang heard this, they took the brocade box from the little palace maid's hand, and Ling'er and Dong'er also came to help. I continued to say to Si Kite: "Si Kite, keep the account according to the rules, and then enter the warehouse. Si Yuan was blessed and nodded yes.

Seeing that I acted like this, and accepted the gift again, the palace maid Poria retired, and returned to the palace to report on the matters here. After she had gone with a few little maids, I fell into deep thought. Si Kite looked at me worriedly and called me: "Little master...... Don't be angry...... "I looked at her face, which had been emaciated since she entered the palace, patted the back of her hand, and said, "It's okay." ”

In this harem, if you don't get the news, or if the news is blocked, it will kill you. As soon as Poria left, I sent Ling'er to inquire about the news.

After Ling'er came back, she said, it turned out that Concubine De didn't just give me a reward, Li Guiren was a noble person, and Lin Changzai also had it. Even Concubine Niangniang's place, Concubine De's Niangniang also sent a copy. It's just that it was thrown out by the lady concubine.

The ones given to the lady concubine are similar to those of us, and the four of us are also jade ruyi, hairpin bracelets, but theirs are not as valuable as mine.

Concubine De sent Poria to give a reward, but I am afraid that it is not such a simple thing on the surface. On the surface, Concubine De gave everyone the same thing. Although they are not exactly the same, how many of these treasures can be exactly the same?

But if you think about it carefully, Concubine De's reward has some meaning. If there is no problem with the gifts given to us, then Concubine De will reward Concubine Niangniang - among the four concubines, although Gui Shu's virtue belongs to the same grade, but the ranking of Concubine Shu Niangniang is in front of Concubine De.

If Concubine De Niangniang, who is in the back position, rewards Concubine Niangniang, the reason can be said to be that Concubine De Niangniang entered the palace early, and Concubine Niangniang entered the palace late, but in the eyes of these slaves who are high and low, it will change its meaning. This means that in the future, Concubine Shuniang will forever fall to Concubine De. Between Concubine Niangniang's order and Concubine De's order, the minions gave priority to Concubine De's mother.

This is not a trivial matter. For example, if there is only one stove left in the imperial dining room, and Concubine De and Concubine Shuniang want to eat bird's nest, they will be inferior.

And Concubine De's reward for me is richer than others, which also conveys two meanings: one is to show favor to me, indicating that I treat me differently from others. In layman's terms, I'm worth more than them. Second, it is also a misunderstanding for Concubine Shuniang, making her think that the rich reward for me is because I have taken refuge in Concubine De.

Promise Lin the same reward as Rou Guiren and Li Guiren, one is saying that if you take refuge in me, I will be able to release my suspicions and give you the same treatment, and then it is to show fairness.
