Chapter 138: Birthday Gift
Zhinian put the basin away, walked over and opened the door, and after seeing Gu Tang, he said loudly, "The princess just got up, and I ask Gu Ye to wait outside for a while." ”
"Hmm. Gu Tang answered, walked in, and stood outside.
Zhinian opened the bead curtain and walked into the inner room, serving Yunluo to dress up and change clothes.
After tidying up, Yunluo came out of it and said calmly, "Guard Gu came to me early in the morning, is there something wrong?"
Gu Tang bowed and saluted, "Princess, Prince Rong sent someone to send an invitation over, today is the birthday of the lord of Xingwan, please invite the prince and the princess to the banquet together." ”
Yunluo Shi Ran sat down, took the tea handed over by Zhinian and took a sip, "What time is it?"
"In the evening, it's just that the prince is called to enter the palace today, and he can't go to the county lord's birthday banquet. Gu Tang responded.
Yun Luo Ming, "Is the birthday gift for the county lord ready?"
Gu Tang replied, "These things are all done by the housekeeper, and the subordinates are now going to call the king housekeeper, if the princess has any requirements, just tell him." ”
"The subordinates want to follow the prince into the palace and leave first. ”
The clouds fell and let Zhinian go to see off the guests.
Zhinian Ying Sheng followed Gu Tang and left, and came back a moment later, still holding the breakfast he had taken from the kitchen.
Zhinian said while setting breakfast on the table, "Princess, when the slave came back, I met Steward Wang, saying that you were still eating, and asked him to wait outside the East Courtyard." ”
Yunluo replied lightly.
"Hmm. ”
Half an hour later, Yunluo finished his breakfast and rinsed his mouth.
Steward Wang followed Zhinian to Yunluo and saluted Yunluo.
"The old slave had already prepared a birthday gift for the county lord a few days ago, and was thinking about sending it to the princess today. ”
"Present it. Yunluo sat on the soft couch and spoke indifferently.
Steward Wang raised his voice and ordered the servants and maids outside, "Bring the things." ”
The servants who were waiting outside walked in with their things.
After putting the things away, hulala, more than a dozen people lined up with gifts in both hands.
Steward Wang introduced them one by one, "This is the coral obtained from the South China Sea, which is magnificent and novel. Escorted all the way, this coral is carefully raised, and it looks better than the original. ”
"This string is the southern red beads produced in southern Yunnan, each is full, the color is translucent, this string of each color is similar, it is the top grade. ”
"This is a treasure box specially designed by craftsmen, made of fine iron, and different unlocking methods are deliberately used, so outsiders can't open it easily. ”
Hearing this, Yunluo's expression changed, and he turned his eyes to look at the box.
"This one stays. ”
I still remember the last time I went shopping, Rong Xingwan was very interested in the trap box.
"Yes. Steward Wang waved his hand to signal the little guy to stand alone, and then introduced the next gift.
"This painting was left by everyone in the previous dynasty and is very precious. ”
Yunluo shook his head, "It's not appropriate to send calligraphy and paintings to the county lord." ”
After Steward Wang responded, he asked people to re-roll the calligraphy and paintings, put them away, and personally took an inconspicuous dark green jade stone to show Yunluo.
"This jade is known as medicinal jade among the people, and it is made of accessories and worn on the body, which can remove all kinds of diseases, and it is said that it is very effective for the infirm. ”
"It's the old slave who has entrusted a lot of people with a lot of relationships, and it was not easy to find it, if this piece of medicinal jade is given to the county lord, it will definitely ease the relationship between the palace and Prince Rong's mansion. ”
Yun Luo glanced at the medicine jade with fixed eyes, and motioned for Zhinian to take it.
After knowing his thoughts, he stepped forward to take the jade from Steward Wang's hand, and turned around and handed it to Yunluo.
Yunluo took the jade and looked at it carefully, and smelled it again.
It is indeed a medicinal jade.
This is the first time she has seen Yaoyu since she was reborn, and she had only seen her sister once or twice in her previous life.
Now that Rong Xingwan's asthma has been cured, it is useless to wear medicinal jade again, but at present, Nan Chuyu's illness, if there is the assistance of medicinal jade, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
After thinking about it, she slowly raised her eyes, "For the county lord's birthday gift, choose this trap box first." Steward Wang, you can choose a few of the remaining gifts and send them to Prince Rong's mansion. ”
Steward Wang hesitated, "Then ...... this medicinal jade?"
"The county lord's asthma is cured, and it is useless to give this medicine jade to the county lord, so remove it from the gift list. Yun Luo fixed his eyes and looked at Steward Wang.
Steward Wang couldn't refute, so he had to respond, "Yes." ”
When he had finished, he left with his things in tow.
Coming out of the wing, Steward Wang's face sank.
This medicinal jade was specially found by Steward Wang for Rong Xingwan's birthday, and now he was removed from Yunluo and taken away, only sending a trap box and ordinary things next to him, just afraid that Prince Rong would be dissatisfied.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked the little guy beside him, "Where is the prince now?"
"The prince was edicted to enter the palace, and just now he asked people to prepare a carriage, I wonder if he has left now?" replied respectfully.
Steward Wang did not hesitate, and strode directly towards the gate of the palace.
After seeing the handsome figure standing at the door, he took two quick steps, "Lord Wang, the old slave has something to tell." ”
Jiang Lingyan turned to look at him, "Huh?"
Steward Wang bowed his hand and explained his intentions, "On the county lord's birthday, the old slave heard that Prince Rong was looking for medicinal jade for the county lord, so he entrusted many connections to buy a piece of medicinal jade. ”
"It was supposed to be given to the county lord as a birthday gift, but after the princess saw the medicinal jade, she liked it very much and stayed. ”
"Prince Rong also knows that the medicine jade was bought by the old slave, and if he doesn't send the medicine jade over this time, I am afraid that there will be a rift between the two mansions. ”
Jiang Lingyan stared at Steward Wang for a long time, and then asked, "Since the princess has already made a decision, why do you come to ask me again?"
The partiality in this statement is very obvious.
Steward Wang's heart "chuckled", raised his eyes to look at Jiang Lingyan's cold eyes, and his voice stumbled unconsciously, "The old man, the old slave just thinks it's inappropriate......"
"What the princess said is not right, so what is appropriate?" The temperature on Jiang Lingyan's face dropped a few points, and the surrounding area was frozen three feet.
As soon as the words fell, Steward Wang only felt a cool breath from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, but he still insisted on finishing his words, "That medicine jade ......"
This time, Jiang Lingyan didn't let him finish his words and directly took his words and said.
"If the princess of the medicine jade likes it, give it to her, and if it is not enough, spend a lot of money to buy it. If you don't want to be a housekeeper, this king can be replaced. ”
Steward Wang's cold sweat instantly slipped down from the corners of his forehead, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "The old slave knows that he is wrong, and whatever the princess says in the future." ”
As they spoke, Gu Tang had already prepared the carriage.
Jiang Lingyan glanced at Steward Wang coldly, and walked towards the carriage.
Steward Wang saluted in the direction the carriage left, and only when he couldn't see Jiang Lingyan's carriage did he straighten up, and the clothes on his body were soaked with cold sweat.
Originally, he thought that the princess's wedding was handed over to Concubine An, and the prince was deliberately cutting off the princess's power, and when the new princess entered the palace, the princess might be beaten back to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, the prince still cares so much about the princess, and he will have to be more respectful to the princess in the future.
