Chapter 708: Faith
Nala smiled and said: "How can there be such a serious reparation, it is rare for the noble concubine and the auxiliary prince to meet, it is more important, and you can come here in the palace at any time." Speaking of this, she thought for a moment and said to the jade behind her: "You go and bring the ivory Maitreya Buddha in the treasury, and then take a set of red jade head jewelry." Then go to Yikun Palace with Yingchun and hand it over to the Duke of Fuguo in person. ”
Yingchun was surprised by Nala's words, and suddenly said: "Niangniang, this is ......"
Nala said with a smile: "The Duke of Fuguo has made great achievements for the Qing Dynasty, no one can match it, and now that he has entered the palace, this palace should have something to say, and besides, this palace and your master have been good sisters for many years." Maitreya Buddha is to reward him, the set of red jade head jewelry is awarded to the Duchess of the auxiliary country, so that the official affairs of the auxiliary country must be accepted, if he is free later, he will come to the palace to sit here. ”
Yingchun said respectfully: "Yes, the slave must tell the mother the truth, if the mother has nothing else to tell the slave and the maid to retreat first." ”
At this time, Jade has led the two little eunuchs to bring things over, the jewelry can not be seen because it is placed in the brocade box, but the Maitreya Buddha can see it very clearly, the Buddha statue is about half an arm high, the palm is wide, the whole body is snow-white without a trace of impurities, whether the Buddha statue's clothes are wrinkled or the demeanor is extremely realistic, and even when you look carefully, you will involuntarily be infected by the smile on the Buddha statue.
But the most amazing thing is the size of this Buddha elephant, there can be no such a big ivory in this world, it should be several ivory spliced together and carved, but no matter how you look at it, you can't find any traces of splicing, everything is like nature.
"This seems to be a carving of Sun Zijin." Gualga said with some uncertainty.
Ling Ruo wiped his lips and said lightly: "Except for the world's first craftsman, I can't think of anyone who can put the ivory together so perfectly, even if regardless of the value of the ivory itself, just the word 'Sun Zijin' is enough to be valuable, and the queen is really willing." ”
"Our lady is very generous these days, yesterday I rewarded several show girls jade hairpins, I have seen the branch such as tilting, it is the top grade of the tribute from the Nanwu country, and it is not common even in the palace."
"If she wants to win people's hearts, she has to do it, can we still stop it? Besides, with Nian Qianyao's identity and vision, ordinary things really can't be sent! While they were talking, Jade and Yingchun had already left Kunning Palace.
After sitting for a while, everyone dispersed, and returned to Chengqian Palace, only to see Mo Er, An'er and a few little palace maids talking excitedly together, and when they saw Ling Ruo coming, they hurriedly fell silent.
"What's so hilarious?" Ling Ruo glanced at Mo Er, who had followed up, and asked.
Mo Er stuck out his tongue and said: "Back to the master's words, the slaves and maids are talking about the things that the auxiliary prince brought to the palace for the young concubine today, one car after another, I heard that dozens of cars were transported!" ”
"Dozens of cars?" Ling Ruo paused, and looked at Mo Er with a strange gaze, "Where did you hear this, dozens of cars, what kind of place are you in the Forbidden City." ”
Mo Er hurriedly said: "The slave didn't lie, the palace people I saw said that there were a lot of cars, even if there were no dozens of cars, there were seven or eight cars, and the palace people who were responsible for moving things said that the cars were all extremely expensive things, a complete set of ivory utensils, rubies the size of pigeon eggs, and screens made of agarwood, the most unusual thing was the jade treasure, I heard that it was spread on the bed and warm in winter and cool in summer." ”
"Oh, there are such treasures in the world, even the main palace has never heard of it." Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise and curiosity.
"The slave doesn't dare to lie to the master, it's all like this, the auxiliary prince should be extremely generous, and I don't know where he got so many treasures." Mo'er's eyes were full of amazement, she thought that all the treasures had been returned to the palace, but she never thought that there were so many things that she had never even heard of.
When Mo Er spoke, Ling Ruo had already regained his composure and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter to us whether we are generous or not, let's go down and do things." ”
Mo Er was talking about Xingtou, and he was blocked from talking all of a sudden, which really made him uncomfortable, but Ling Ruo spoke, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to pretend to go down.
After entering the hall, Shui Xiu whispered: "Master, how can the Duke of Fuguo have so many rare treasures?" ”
Ling Ruo sat down in the chair with her hand, and said happily: "Although the northwest is remote, it is not a place where an inch does not grow, he has been in charge of the northwest for many years, and the armament, grain and grass are all in his hands, so there is something strange about collecting some treasures." ”
Shui Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said with some hesitation: "According to the master's words, Fu Guogong is not an honest person. ”
"Incorruptible?" Ling Ruo covered his lips and smiled, and said with incomparable sarcasm: "If he is honest, there will be no corrupt officials in this world, but this palace has heard that his mansion in the northwest is all extravagant and strange, and compared with it, the palace is nothing more than that, except that it is larger." There are also officials in the northwest, regardless of whether they hold official positions or not, they must kneel when they see Nian Qianyao. ”
The surprise in Shui Xiu's eyes became more and more intense, although she was a palace maid, she also knew a courtesy, that is, a feudal official like a governor and an envoy, even if she saw a governor with a bigger official position or even a minister, she was just bowing, and she only knelt down to the emperor.
"Okay, this palace is still the same sentence, it has nothing to do with us in any way, don't pay more attention to it. Remember to stew a cup of lily pear juice and send it to the emperor. ”
"Don't worry, master, it's already stewed, and the slave will be sent in a while." Since the beginning of autumn, Ling Ruo would ask the palace people to stew a Gu lily pear juice to send to Yinzhen every day. The autumn is dry, and Yinzhen is busy these days because of the affairs of the previous dynasty, so the most important thing is to prevent liver fire.
I only hope that those matters in the previous dynasty will be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise if it continues like this, it will be useless to stew more lily and pear juice.
When he was secretly worried, a palace person sent a letter, unfolded it, but it was sent by Rong Xiang, in which he said that he hoped to go to Qinghai with the army.
Since the last impeachment, Rong Xiang has been assigned to the firearms battalion and stayed in the capital, compared with the military camps stationed in the frontier, the major military camps in the capital are relatively much more stable, unless something happens in the capital, there is no need to fight desperately.
But if Ling knew Rong Xiang, he was more yearning for the fight on the battlefield, and his own combat exploits in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, but he had no choice but to do it because of his parents' orders.
Now, when he learned that the army was going to fight again, he was bent on going out with the army to quell the Guoluoke Rebellion, but Ling Zhu and his wife were worried about Rong Xiang's safety, and they didn't agree to anything, not to mention that they were transferred from the firearms battalion to the Northwest Army, and it was not just a matter of talking about it, so he thought of Ling Ruo and wanted her to ask Yinzhen for him to go on the expedition.
"This Rongxiang ......" Ling Ruo shook her head, holding the letter for a while, it was difficult to make a decision, if she was unwilling to agree to her thoughts, she was such a younger brother, how could she be willing to let him take risks; But Rongxiang has this idea and determination, but her lack of support as a sister is a little unreasonable.
