Chapter 20: Gifts
Taisun Concubine Ye has always been bold and in the limelight, leaving everyone with the impression that she is delicate and flamboyant, which is very different from her gentle and quiet Taisun Concubine sister.
It is very appropriate for her to start with the crown princess and say that she wants to give a gift to the princess, no one is bolder than her, because she has that temperament, the grandson can allow her to be favored, and she can be allowed to show off her personality.
The crown princess has always been generous to others, and she also loves her juniors very much, and she is quite fond of seeing that the princess is lively and lovely, so she immediately agreed.
Pu Yangxu naturally knew what these women were planning, but they just wanted to please themselves.
"Let's say okay first, I will accept all your gifts, but don't ask me to return the gift when you turn around."
After all, it was his birthday, and he also gave face.
Concubine Taisun answered with a smile, "Don't listen to him, if he doesn't reward him, I will reward him, and when the time comes, I will see if he rewards him." ”
Pu Yangxu was not in a hurry, and said confidently, "Okay, you reward them with some snacks, and I will pay for a few new pots of wine." ”
Everyone laughed cheeringly, and soon, the meal was withdrawn, and the melon and fruit snacks were served, Shen Tingnian didn't raise his head after listening to it, and he was willing to rinse his mouth after eating the fish in the bowl, and served the tea again, slowly holding it in his mouth to taste.
The grandson concubine started her head, and naturally gave her the first gift, and she prepared a large-scale flowing water landscape ornament carefully built for the grandson.
When he brought it in, he first heard the sound of gurgling water, and when his eyes fell, even the well-informed Pu Yangxu opened his eyes slightly.
The green trees are inlaid with gold, the white jade pedestal, and even the flowing water is shining with golden light.
Concubine Taisun raised her hand in front of the hall, and the eight guards carrying the ornaments slowly put down the things, the Ye family is an imperial businessman, more than money, and there is no woman in the entire palace who can compare to her.
The unique design of this ornament is that the base material is gold, silver and white jade, which can be called vulgar and elegant, and it is very valuable.
Her move was full of praise, and the princess said hello, it was a good thing that even she had never seen.
Pu Yangxu was dignified, and he didn't look at it a few more times before he lowered his eyes and drank, and everyone naturally couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Isn't such a gift rare for him?
The smile on the face of the concubine Taisun was a little lower, and she returned to her seat generously, her position was not high, because of the relationship with the concubine of the grandson, she sat next to her, and she was not far from the grandson, unlike Shen Tingnian, who was one level lower than her, and went to the door.
Shen Tingnian withdrew his gaze from the ornament, and glanced at the two beauties opposite, she didn't know who arranged the seat, one of the two beauties who had never slept should be by the door, no wonder Zhiya stared at the opposite side unhappily as soon as she came in.
She still remembered that a month ago, the two of them talked in the garden, mocking herself.
The women who were enshrined in the Taisun Palace gathered together with these people, and all of them attended today's birthday of the Taisun, and they were all rounded up once, they were all beauties who pinched the tip, and they got together to have a comparison, and Shen Tingnian found that it was a little weird.
Although she has seen it all, she has not taken it to heart in the past, and she has forgotten it in a blink of an eye, but today she looks at it one by one like a painting, and she can clearly feel the strangeness, that is, except for her, the other seven people all look more or less similar.
Maybe she didn't know what the source of the resemblance was. Because she found that everyone was very natural, like some kind of tacit understanding?
After a cup of tea at the bottom, Shen Tingnian's mind fell back to the scene in front of him, after the concubine, the two concubines offered gifts in turn, probably the pearl and jade in front, the ancient ink and the jade pendant inlaid with blue sapphire prepared by them respectively looked a bit bland, mediocre, and also showed their style as always, not in the limelight and not causing trouble.
