At first, Yang Yuhuan was still a little dissatisfied with Zhen Qian, thinking that Zhen Qian gave him too few perfumes, only six bottles, and the perfume in each bottle was only a small half bucket, according to Yang Yuhuan's preference for fragrance, these perfumes could only be used for one year.

It is said that there are a lot of these perfumes, but Yang Yuhuan, as the head of the palace, sometimes inevitably has to reward other concubines, and he used to use some gold, silver and jade to send them away, but those things are really not rare in the hearts of concubines, Li Longji is usually generous, as long as there are concubines to please him, the rewards will be splashed out like running water.

Every time Mrs. Qiuguo, Mrs. Han, and Mrs. Qin Guo entered the palace, most of the perfume in Yang Yuhuan's hand was missing, Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Shi entered the palace and rewarded some more, and Xie Aman's several intimate female officials also wanted to reward some, and there was not much perfume left in Yang Yuhuan's hand.

I thought I would save some use, and when Zhen Qian came back, there should be a lot of them, but there were rumors outside the palace that the Tang envoy was sent to the sea to encounter a storm, Zhen Qian's life and death are unknown, and I am afraid that there will be no more perfume for him.

When the bad news came from the Tang envoy, the first thing Li Longji thought of was Abe Zhongmalu, and Zhen Qian, who had never even met him, had naturally been left behind, if it weren't for Yang Yuhuan's sadness that he would never have perfume in the future, I'm afraid Li Longji would have forgotten who Zhen Qian was.

Li Longji is going to build a well-dressed mound for Abe Zhongmalu in Chang'an, but he is also worried that this matter will be repeated, and there will be storms when maritime merchants go to sea, and there will be people who will not return for a few years, as long as they don't see the corpse, no one dares to pat their chests and guarantor will die, so Li Longji is ready to let Yang Guozhong do this matter.

Similarly, Li Longji did not forget Zhen Qian, the deputy envoy who sent Tang to welcome and send off, but now he also couldn't give an order to appease Zhen, so under Yang Yuhuan's reminder, he gave Zhen Qian's sister Zhen Ling a reward of five products.

In ancient times, women entered the palace and became palace maids, and some palace maids became female officials, with a certain rank and rank, and received a fortune. The scope of his work includes managing lower-level court maids, training new palace maids, and taking care of princesses and princes.

The queen is a super product, there is no grade, and the following concubines, concubines, concubines, and virtuous concubines are genuine products. Nine concubines: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan are all positive two products. There are nine Jieyu people, and there are three products. There are nine beauties, and there are four products. There are nine talented people, and there are five products. Baolin has twenty-seven people, and is six products. There are twenty-seven royal maids, and they are seven products. There are twenty-seven women, and there are eight products.

There are also six Shang divisions, in charge of the palace chariot and horse clothing. Shang Gong, Shang Yi, and Shang Fu each have two people. Positive five products. The female officials of the rest of the divisions and canons are six to nine ranks.

In the outer courts, the wives and biological mothers of the eunuchs also had grades, which were called edicts. It is normal for the biological mother and the wife to seal the decree, according to the husband's grade. The Tang Dynasty ordered the woman to customize the first grade of the country's wife, the third grade or more of the county lady, the fourth grade for the county monarch, and the fifth grade for the county monarch. Mrs. Decree also has a life suit, a Xia crown and a phoenix curtain, and even a fortune.

If there is a ceremony, or such as Yang Yuhuan's birthday today, these women with orders will also enter the palace to participate.

And if the emperor dies, these female dependents with a decree will enter the palace to cry.

Today it is said that it is to celebrate Yang Yuhuan's birthday, and there are many female dependents who enter the palace, and the entire hall is full, but there will be no more than fifty or sixty female dependents who can really see Yang Yuhuan, and even fewer can say a few words to Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan sat on the high phoenix couch and accepted the worship of noble ladies one by one, nodded politely, and met some contacts, that is, a greeting or two, which was already a great honor.

There are a lot of brocade couches around Yang Yuhuan, today Mrs. Yu Guo, Mrs. Han, and Mrs. Qin Guo three sisters have come to celebrate her birthday, Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Shi is also sitting next to her, and a little farther away from Yang Yuhuan sit the concubines and daughters of Li Longji's sons, the number of people has exceeded 100 people.

Li Longji sat beside Yang Yuhuan for a while at the beginning, the emperor can come on this occasion, but he will not stay for too long, after all, there are women here, Li Longji's atmosphere here is restrained, and he left after saying a few words.

In one corner of the banquet sat two women, both dressed in gorgeous palace robes, but there was no joy on their faces.

"Sister, don't be sad, my father already knows about Zhen Lang's matter, he sent someone to Yangzhou to inquire a few days ago, and there will be news back soon?"

The woman who spoke was Li Wan'er, the lord of Jinyuan, and the person sitting opposite was Zhen Ling with a sad face.

Although it is groundless, but there is no wind and no waves, Shi Luqiao, the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Prefecture, mentioned in a letter to Abe Zhongmalu in Chang'an that the Tang envoys encountered a storm, but did not say that they had been killed, but only vaguely mentioned that the result may not be good, and he is inquiring about the news of the maritime merchants who have returned from the Wa Kingdom in many ways.

Sending an envoy to the Wa Kingdom is a matter of life and death, and it has also encountered a storm, and the hope is really slim.

"Zhen Lang's life is hard! I lost my mother since I was a child, and when I returned to my hometown after high school a few years ago, I was shocked to lose my heart and go crazy, and I was finally cured and could live a life in peace, but who would have thought that I would go to the ...... of the Japanese Kingdom", Zhen Ling was a little choked up and cried, today she didn't want to come to the birthday banquet, but Yang Yuhuan sent someone to personally invite Zhen Ling into the palace, and gave a five-grade order, everyone knows what this means.

Because Zhen Qian and Li Huang cooperated to open the Drunken Immortal Building in Chang'an, the county lord of Jinyuan also met with Zhen Ling a few times, and the relationship between the two was not very good, but after hearing that Zhen Qian had an accident, he remembered that Zhen Qian had a life-saving grace for him, so he often accompanied Zhen Ling to talk, and there were more words between the two of them.

"Sister! There may be a turning point in this matter, I heard my father say that Zhen Lang's envoy to the Wa Kingdom was on a naval division thousand stone warship, not to mention the sturdy, fast speed, and it may not necessarily have an accident. Wait until September, there will be maritime merchants returning from the Wa Kingdom, and there will definitely be news of Zhen Lang's safety coming back at that time? ”

Zhen Lingqiang cheered up and smiled, no matter how sad he was at Yang Yuhuan's birthday banquet, he had to force a smile, but he didn't dare to ruin the atmosphere of the birthday banquet because of himself.

"The county lord is right! It's me who thinks about it a lot, thank you for being with me these days, you better go and celebrate the birthday of the concubine, don't accompany me", Zhen Ling didn't want to affect Li Wan'er's mood because of himself, so he pushed Li Wan'er out, Li Wan'er was a little worried Zhen Ling said: "Wait for me, I'll come back ...... immediately." ”
