Chapter 435: Keeping to Yourself
Ah Ruan, who returned to Chaohua Palace to restore his life, reported everything he saw and heard in the Qingyin Hall to Ye Zhen one by one.
"Why did you come back so late?" Ye Hao raised her eyebrows and swept her eyes at Ah Ruan, who hurriedly walked into the hall, and said coquettishly, "Didn't you go where to play?" ”
"How dare a slave." Ah Ruan looked aggrieved, and hurriedly explained, "The slave maid sent tea to Xian Zhaoyi at the behest of the little master, and she just came back. ”
"How's Xian Zhaoyi?" Ye Hao sat on the chaise longue, lowered her eyes, glanced at Ah Ruan, and asked softly.
Immediately, Ah Ruan's face changed slightly, and with a hesitant look on her delicate little face, she replied in a low voice: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, when the slave maid just went, Xian Zhaoyi was looking through the accounts in the palace. ”
"She's keeping to herself."
Picking up a cup of tea, Ye Hao took a sip, and her delicate cheeks looked cold.
Then he put the teacup on the table, stretched out his hand and brushed the hairpin on the top of his head, and a bright smile appeared on his delicate cheeks, but the smile contained a somewhat mocking look.
After a pause, Ah Ruan said in a low voice: "It's not too early for the concubine Niangniang, and the manager Li of the Internal Affairs Office wanted to ask to see the concubine Niangniang, but he was sent down by the slaves. ”
"I heard that the Western Regions paid tribute to a fine mink fur, and Mr. Li stammered to personally send some mink fur to the concubine Niangniang." With a respectful look on his face, Ah Ruan said word by word.
"But that fine white mink fur?" Ye Hao's eyes lit up and asked casually.
Because the Western Regions are on the frontier and the regional environment is harsh, they are often inhabited by the Huns, and even the rare jewelry that is paid tribute to the dynasty is particularly precious.
But all the objects that come from the Western Regions will inevitably become the sought-after objects of the harem concubines.
Ah Ruan on the side looked delighted, walked up to Ye Hao, and said with a smile: "Manager Li said that there is a good silver mink Qiu to honor you." ”
"He has a heart." Ye Hao pursed her lips and chuckled, with a look of joy between her eyebrows.
"Now that the concubine is quite favored by the emperor, she has been busy preparing for the banquet recently, so the slave and maid sent Manager Li away." Ah Ruan lowered his head and said.
Hearing this, Ye Hao smiled, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, she glanced at Ah Ruan, and said approvingly: "You slave is clever." ”
"Since following the palace into the palace, you slave maid has not grown a little." Ye Hao smiled and quipped.
There was a look of relief on her delicate cheeks, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ah Ruan, with a thick look of praise between her eyebrows.
"Slave, thank you for the compliment." Ah Ruan bowed and said.
"Get up." Ye Hao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ah Ruan, and said softly.
At that moment, someone outside the temple asked to see him.
Walking in was the housekeeper in the show, and when she saw Ye Hao, she saluted and said, "The slave maid has asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”
"No courtesy." Ye Hao said softly.
"Back to the concubine Niangniang, this is Mama Liu, the housekeeper who is responsible for buying clothes for the little masters of the harem." Ah Ruan stepped forward and explained in Ye Hao's ear.
Mama Liu, who was waiting in place, had a smile on her face, and said happily to Ye Hao: "The slave maid bought clothes for the little masters of the harem, and specially came to ask for the opinion of the concubine. ”
"Why should Mama Liu be polite, sit down and talk."
After all, she is also an older grandmother in the palace, and Ye Hao is very polite when she speaks.
"Slave, thank you, concubine." Mama Liu saluted towards Ye Hao, and then sat down.
Mama Liu sat neatly on the chair, with a respectful look on her face, and she also looked at Ye Hao when she spoke.
"The concubine Niangniang instructed Xiufang to make a new set of clothes for the harem concubines, and there are new Suzhou silk and satin in the Internal Affairs House, as well as cotton silk, Su brocade and the like, I don't know what kind of clothes the harem concubines have to use?" Mama Liu asked with a respectful face. Hassle-free
Ye Hao, who was sitting upright, frowned slightly, glanced at Mama Liu, and said softly: "Then Mama Yi came to see ......."
"The positions of the harem concubines are different, and even the objects rewarded by the internal affairs government are also similar and different, so the materials used in the clothes of the harem concubines are also different." Mama Liu said slowly, with a respectful expression.
"Then just follow what Mama Liu said." Ye Hao's face did not change, and she said softly.
Immediately, Mama Liu stood up and saluted Ye Hao respectfully: "The slave obeys." ”
After a moment of silence, Mama Liu frowned, and said respectfully: "The noble concubine has a noble status, and the clothes purchased for the mother are embroidered with peonies, I don't know what the mother thinks is wrong?" ”
Peony has always been used by the queen of the middle palace, but since Xie Yuchen succeeded to the throne, the position of the queen of the middle palace has been hanging high.
In the harem, Ye Hao, as a noble concubine, has the highest rank among the concubines, and she should enjoy the treatment that the concubines next to her do not have.
Even Mama Liu's words were respectful, and she didn't dare to be the slightest slack.
"The peony is graceful and luxurious, flashy and unrealistic, and the palace likes it very much." Ye Zhenwan said with a smile.
"The slave maid ordered the people to make a peony dress for the concubine." Mama Liu stood up and saluted towards Ye Hao.
"There's Mama Liu."
Then Ye Zhen frowned and said softly.
"These are the things that slaves should do." Mama Liu is also a sincere person, and she is also full of proportion when she speaks.
Ye Hao got up slowly, walked in the palace, held a silk handkerchief in her hand and said softly: "Mama Liu, you have been in the palace for some time, I don't know how to buy spring in previous years?" ”
Mama Liu has white silk on her temples, her eyes are extremely shrewd, she can be alone in the palace, she has lived for a long time, and she has some skills.
Immediately, Mama Liu froze in place, and hurriedly saluted Ye Hao and said, "The slave is stupid, I don't know what the concubine Niangniang means by this?" ”
Before Ye Hao could speak, Mama Liu possessed her and said: "The slave is forgetful, and I don't know how to spend the spring in previous years, but I only know that the concubine Niangniang came to buy it this year." ”
This said something that won the hearts of the people, Ye Hao heard this, and said with a smile: "Mama Liu is a smart person. ”
Now Xie Yuchen ordered everyone in the palace to obey Ye Hao's orders, and no one was allowed to disobey.
As a noble concubine and the emperor's edict, Ye Hao is extremely favored in the palace.
is on top of grace, and there are many people in the palace who stutter up and down.
At this time, a slave and maid walked in outside the palace and saluted respectfully: "Go back to the concubine Niangniang, the slave and maid in the imperial dining room have come to see Niangniang." ”
"Come in." Ye Hao said indifferently.
A slave maid walked into the palace with a food box, and when she saw Ye Hao, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave and maid have asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”
"Get up."
Then Ye Hao sat on the chair, with a relieved look on her delicate cheeks, and said softly.
"Xie Niangniang." The slave stood up and brought the food box forward.
Bringing out the exquisite pastries from the food box and placing them on the table, the slave said respectfully: "This is the exquisite pastry just made in the imperial dining room, and I invite the concubine to taste it." ”
Lowered her eyes and glanced at the delicate and small pastry, which was exquisitely clear and exceptionally beautiful, Ye Hao saw it, and a bright smile bloomed on her delicate cheeks, "You have a heart." ”
"The concubine is busy with the trivial affairs of the harem, and she is really hard, and the slaves and maids should be done." The slave had a smile on her face and a respectful look.
