Chapter 66 A flash of inspiration congratulates the gift
Jiang Suoyue was tossed hard this time, and she didn't wake up until the light of day, and in a trance touched the empty bed beside her, and suddenly saw that the sky was already bright, so she was so frightened that she sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and called out repeatedly: "Pearl, pearl." ”
Pearl hurriedly came in and said, "Little master, you're awake." ”
"Is the emperor already gone? Why didn't you call me? ”
Pearl smiled: "The emperor won't let it, saying that the young lady is tired and must have a good rest." The emperor is so good to the little master, and he feels sorry for the little master......" said with a red face and paused.
Jiang Suoyue followed her gaze and looked at herself, seeing that there were a little red marks on the exposed placket, no wonder Pearl was embarrassed, she felt blushing, and hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover it, and said, "You go and bring my silver needle, prepare hot water in addition, and go to the queen to say goodbye later." ”
Pearl agreed, fetched the silver needle, and went to prepare hot water again.
Jiang Suoyue locked the door, took out the silver needle, and applied the needle one by one on her acupuncture points according to the medical book, and after a while, there was a cramping pain in her abdomen, and the pain made her sweat cold, until a moment later, she felt a turbidity flowing out of her lower body, and the pain did not stop.
When she felt that it was okay, she called pearls and coral, freshened up, and went to Qifeng Palace without mentioning it.
Jiang Suoyue felt that as long as the emperor rested in the harem, he would ask Mr. An to have some swords and swords on the second day.
Sure enough, as soon as she came today, someone took the lead in attacking, and it was Concubine Liang again! If it weren't for the fact that she had seen Concubine Liang embarrassed other favored palace concubines a few days ago, Jiang Suoyue would have wondered if she was at odds with Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang stared at the jade bracelet in her hand for a while, and said unintentionally: "The water head of my bracelet is not as good as a tribute, I heard that the emperor rewarded Sister Ruan with a pair of tribute jade bracelets today, I think it was my sister's hard work to serve the emperor yesterday, and the emperor specially treated my sister." ”
Jiang Suoyue complained in her heart, she was the one who slept last night, and Concubine Liang's words were clearly to stumble on her. Although she didn't intend to rob Ruan Guifei's favor, Concubine Liang's provocation made her and Ruan Guifei's Liang Zi come to an end.
Ruan Guifei looked very calm, and said lightly: "Sister misunderstood, it wasn't me who served the emperor yesterday. ”
Concubine Liang pretended to be surprised and said: "Didn't you turn over your brand, it's not who you are, my sister is really good at laughing." ”
Jiang Suoyue really wanted to rush up and tear Concubine Liang's mouth at this moment, but she could only sit silently, greeting Concubine Liang's ancestor in her heart, and by the way, slandering the emperor who was the culprit for doing such a thing that made her hateful.
Ruan Guifei still said in a calm tone: "If my sister doesn't believe it, she can go to check the history of Tong." ”
Concubine Liang touched a soft nail and shut up in the end.
Jiang Suoyue secretly said that this Ruan Guifei is really a tolerant person, she can not be moved by being provoked by Concubine Liang like this, and she doesn't know if it is because she is broad-minded or the city government is quite deep, she thinks it should be the latter, after all, there are few women who can not mind such a thing. Even though she is a big-hearted person, she behaves too calmly, which makes people look a little hypocritical. But Jiang Suoyue was still grateful that she didn't mention herself, otherwise Concubine Liang would have pointed her gun at herself if she had this ladder.
Out of Qifeng Palace, watching Ruan Guifei get on the sedan chair, Jiang Suoyue went over and curtsied, and said, "Thank you Sister Gui for taking care of the concubine today." ”
She didn't want to explain that she didn't have the heart to do what happened last night, this kind of thing would only get darker and darker, she was frank in her heart, and she thanked her calmly, if Ruan Guifei was smart, she could naturally see it. As for whether Ruan Guifei will be jealous of her, it is not something she can control.
Ruan Guifei spoke very gently and said, "A little thing, my sister doesn't have to take it to heart. When you have time, you often come to sit in my palace. ”
Seeing Ruan Guifei leave, Jiang Suaoyue became more vigilant in her heart, if Ruan Guifei just smiled and left, she might believe that this was a person who was glorious, but Ruan Guifei put on such a good attitude and invited her without any guilt, which could only make her refresh her understanding of Ruan Guifei's city mansion.
As soon as Jiang Suoyue returned to Daocui Weiju, she saw Coral greeted her with a happy face, and said, "Little master, the emperor has a reward for it, and it was sent by Gonggong Gao himself." ”
"yes, take it and I'll see."
Coral agreed, took a brocade box, Jiang Suoyue opened it and saw that there were some maple leaf-shaped jewelry, or red gold and rubies maple leaves stacked and swayed, hanging down three pearls and a few colored gem grains of tassels; or gold pendant maple leaf-shaped red agate earrings; or a maple leaf-shaped hair strung of red coral beads; There is also a thin silver-inlaid ruby maple leaf-shaped flower, all of which are meticulously made and very delicate.
Coral added on the side: "Manager Gao said, there is no ready-made set of red leaf jewelry, and the emperor asked him to find out all the things in the library and send them to the little master, but he has been looking for it for a long time." It can be seen that the emperor's heart treats the little master-" I couldn't help laughing out loud when I said this.
Pearl quipped: "Little lord, the emperor remembers the first encounter with you in the maple forest." ”
Jiang Suoyue glanced at her and said, "Just your mouth!" Why don't you put it away for me, be careful, don't fall. ”
Pearl smiled: "Why don't you wear it now, little master." ”
Jiang Suoyue glanced at the amber who came in to serve tea, and said, "No, wouldn't it be distressing if it falls, if you want to wear it, the emperor has to come up and wear it for the emperor to see." ”
She had a look of shyness on her face, thinking that the shape of a maple leaf is not commonly found in jewelry, and that if she sent someone to make a set, she would be more admitted. But it's rare for him to have this heart and remember their first meeting. After all, the other party is the emperor, and the requirements can't be too high.
Looking at the maple leaf jewelry, Jiang Suoyue's heart moved, and she ordered: "Send someone who is clever enough to go to the maple forest to dye and pick some red leaves, and come back, with bright colors and intact leaves." ”
She remembered the leaf bookmark she made when she was a child, and now that she has done it, isn't it also a good gift.
The maple leaves that were picked back were dried and pressed, and after a few days of calm and calm, the dry maple leaves were also obtained. She carefully pasted the dried maple leaves on the thick paper, and inscribed some poems such as "Double leaves are red in February flowers", "The rain hits the green pine green, and the frost dyes the maple leaves red", "Jiang Feng is lush and does not compete with the pine and Yunli", and then she remembered that there was no cellophane, so she had to find the lightest cicada wing yarn and stick it tightly, but there is also a kind of frost and red leaves.
Jiang Suoyue looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and asked the pearl to weave a black and yellow two-color rope to decorate it, and then said proudly: "How is my bookmark?" Do you think the emperor will like it? ”
Pearl said carefully for a long time: "Good looking is good-looking, but if the little master takes this as a gift for Hallomy, it will be ...... It's a bit chilly. ”
It's okay not to say the pearl, but Jiang Suoyue is also a little discouraged when she says it, but don't you chill, the bookmarks used by the emperor are mostly gold and jade, ivory, etc., and this is ...... It would be rare to make cellophane, but even glass is not popular enough in this era.
Thinking of glass, Jiang Suoyue had a flash of inspiration, and today's craftsmen in Kyushu can also fire glass, but because it contains too much metal oxide, although the color is bright but it is brittle and brittle, it is not resistant to high temperatures, and it is mostly used to make jewelry, but it is not as widely used as porcelain. Although the hardness of the glass from the Hu merchants is close to that of modern glass, the transparency is not enough, and because of the inconvenience of long-distance transportation, there are no large pieces, just some small cups or small ornaments, even so, the price is very high. I remember that when she was still in the Jiang family, Jiang Jiaoyue had a set of glass zodiac ornaments, I don't know how many little girls she envied, pampered like Jiang Jiaoyue, and she also cherished that set of precious ornaments and kept them very properly.
She immediately walked to the bookcase, recalled the recipes and techniques of modern glass-firing, and wrote them down on paper, secretly glad in her heart, thinking that the chemistry she had learned in her previous life was useless here, but now it came in handy.
He also wrote a letter to Jiang Zhaolin and attached it, summoned Xiao Jizi, and asked him to send it to Jiangfu.
Once the palace maid enters the palace, she is the emperor's woman, and she cannot leave the palace until she is old, but the eunuch can go out of the palace regularly to buy, but she must first report for approval, and the items she carries need to be inspected, so as not to disturb the palace with prohibited things. In recent days, because of the Halloween Festival, all the palaces have been busy buying congratulatory gifts, and the queen has also opened her grace, and Xiao Jizi left the palace without much trouble.
Jiang Suoyue observed during this time that Xiao Zhengzi was more flexible, had good friends with many people in the palace, and was well-informed. Xiao Jizi looked a lot more wooden, but he was down-to-earth, so he gave him this errand.
In the days before the Wanshou Festival, the palace concubines were busy preparing congratulatory gifts for the emperor, and hoped to attract the emperor's attention at the banquet. Especially those who have not faced the saint for a long time, they are even more hollowed out, and there are sparks of hope flashing in their eyes.
There is such a big event that occupies everyone's minds, and the intrigues and quarrels in the harem have stopped a lot for a while.
Jiang Suoyue waited anxiously until the day before the Wanshou Festival, and then waited for a small box brought in by Xiao Jizi, which contained a congratulatory gift made by Jiang Zhaolin according to her request, saying that it was made by a familiar workshop.
Jiang Suoyue took out an octagonal eight-sided glass-inlaid palace lamp from the box, looked at it for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction, although the transparency is still not comparable to modern glass, and due to the limited level of technology, the iron ions cannot be removed, and some are slightly green, but it is already commendable.
Putting away this lamp, Jiang Suoyue breathed a sigh of relief, if she didn't send it again, she planned to carry out the second plan tomorrow and send the prepared needle and thread.
opened Jiang Zhaolin's letter, it was nothing more than telling her to serve His Majesty well, there was no need to worry about it at home, Aunt Ning and Jiang Qinghui were all right, and it was also mentioned that the workshop that burned the lamp wanted to cooperate with the Jiang family to make this glass, and the Jiang family provided the formula, please ask her if she allows it.
Jiang Suoyue put down the letter indifferently, her purpose had been achieved, and as for how the Jiang family handled this formula, she didn't care at all. She is now in the palace, what can she do with this formula, it is better to be a favor, and I hope to make Aunt Ning's life better, so I replied.
