In fact, preparing gifts is secondary.

Do you really think that the concubines are just giving gifts?

It's not that I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to compete for favor!

Tilting Yan turned a page of the book and replied nonchalantly: "I have to prepare." ”

Now that the harem concubines are ready, of course she has to mean something.

Xiaolian was overjoyed and immediately asked intimately, "Do you have any materials to prepare?" Slaves and maids can also buy for you in advance. ”

Qian Yan hadn't thought about sending the emperor or anything.

Now that Xiaolian asked like this, she was asked.

In ancient times, women would learn to be popular when they were young, so the harem concubines all had a pair of skillful hands and could embroider.

There are many faces, but embroidery is one of her shortcomings.

Last year, she gave the emperor a slender jade hand balm, and this year she doesn't want to give this kind of gift again.

For other things, she didn't know the emperor, and she was afraid that she would accidentally step on a landmine and commit this taboo.

I plan to go with the crowd and embroider something and send it away.

After pondering for a moment, she said to Xiaolian, "You can go and prepare a bright yellow cloth for me." ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go!" After receiving the order, Xiaolian went out in a hurry.

After a tea time, Xiaolian carried a bright yellow silk into the house.

Qian Yan looked at the big cloth in Xiaolian's arms, and couldn't help but support his forehead, "You have prepared too much, I only need a small piece of cloth, the size of a palm." ”

Xiaolian blinked her eyes, what can a palm-sized fabric do? "Master, this is going to be a trick?"

He said "um", "You cut a small piece of cloth for me." ”

A bag made of silk, satin, silk, etc., was used to hold letters in ancient times, which is equivalent to today's envelopes.

Moreover, the bag is small and can not be stitched for a few stitches, so it is suitable for pouring out the face.

It's not like gloves and boots, and there are too many stitches to sew.

Xiaolian put down the cloth and cut a small piece of cloth for Tanyan.

After taking the bag, Qian Yan said to Xiaolian, "You teach me how to sew a piece of cloth into a bag." ”

Xiaolian also took a piece of cloth by herself and began to teach her how to sew a bag.

In this way, after sewing for about an hour, the two bright yellow brocade bags were initially formed, and they were only embroidered with their favorite lines.

It's just that Xiaolian's sewing bag is obviously a lot more exquisite.

And the tips for sewing with a smile are not very neat.

Fortunately, she learns everything quickly, and she is not particularly ugly.

However, for the ancients who were proficient in embroidery, there was no eyesight.

Qian Yan folded the bag in half and handed it to Xiaolian, "Okay, take something and pack it, change the emperor's birthday, and you will have someone send it to Longquan Villa." ”

Xiaolian looked at the unsightly and even ugly bag in her hand, and she was petrified in place.

It took a long time to come to his senses, and he thought he had heard it wrong, "Master, are you sure you want to give this to the emperor?" ”

Qian Yan nodded: "Yes." ”

Xiaolian: "This is a small cloth bag at best, it can't be called a bag, and besides, don't you embroider some beautiful lines on it?" Like the dragon pattern? ”

Yan Yan waved his hand, "The dragon pattern is too complicated, I can't embroider it well." ”

"Then embroider the pines and cypresses, right?" Xiaolian saw that she still didn't accept her expression, and immediately changed her words, "Why don't you embroider bamboo?" Bamboo is quite simple. ”

"No, you just let people send it over, listen to me!" Pour Yan is definitely authentic.

Xiaolian's face was incredulous, plus incredulous, but finally nodded, "Okay." ”

Originally, she thought that if the master gave the emperor a bag, there would be nothing new and she would not be able to stand out among the concubines.

As a result, the master also sewed the bag so ugly.

The key is that there is no embroidery on it.

Qian Yan saw the deep worry between Xiaolian's eyebrows, "Don't worry, I won't be like this all the time, after this limelight, I will naturally go forward, this time it will mean it." ”

If she says yes, she will never waste any thoughts.

As an enterprising concubine, she naturally knows that the enthusiasm for favor is determined by the performance of the year and the pension treatment in the future.

However, she could see that the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Shu was very abnormal recently.

So much so that the emperor's whole mind was on Concubine Shugui, and he had no time to take care of the concubines next to the harem.

If there is no desire, it is rigid, except for the concubines, the emperor has no desire for them.

With that in mind, there is no desire to be rigid.

In this case, Qian Yan felt that even if she embroidered the best bag and gave the best gift to the emperor, it would be in vain.

The key is still the emperor, just like the current Shuguifei, even if she doesn't give a gift to the emperor and doesn't give a smile, she can be favored alone.

Xiaolian heard Tan Yan say this, although she didn't know Tan Yan's heart, but she was finally a little relieved.

It's just that when he saw the bag in his hand, he still said with some anxiety: "Then what if the emperor sees your embroidered bag?" ”

"That can't be." Tilt your face and analyze it to Xiaolian, "Think about it, the emperor is now doting on Concubine Shugui, where do you have the heart to care about anything else, when the birthday comes, a lot of gifts will be given, and I don't know where to pile up my bag to absorb ash." ”

Xiaolian: "But Li Zhong will keep a record." ”

Yan Yan: "I know, anyway, I'm sending a bag, and the record is not recorded, it's nothing more than a bag, and the emperor won't know about it." ”

If it is given to the emperor in person, he will never dare to make up the number indiscriminately.

However, she just thought that she wouldn't take a look at it when she sent it to the emperor, and she only had the sake of sucking ash, so she was so-so.

Even if she knows, it's actually nothing, whether the embroidery looks good or not, that's all her heart.

Anyway, she didn't embroider any lines, and she didn't have to worry about embroidering patterns that the emperor didn't like, and committing his taboo.

Besides, I still feel good about myself, and I think the gift I gave is ingenious!

When Xiaolian heard what Qian Yan said, she felt that it seemed to be the case, but she didn't say anything more.

Instead, I found a beautiful wooden box and beautifully packaged this not-so-good-looking bag.

It was the emperor's birthday.

Just as Yan Yan had guessed, all kinds of gifts were piled up in the emperor's residence.

Even if the palace maid and eunuch piled the gifts neatly, there were still several hills.

Those gifts, in addition to those sent by the harem concubines, were also sent by the royal family.

There were those sent by princes and nobles, civil and military officials, and neighboring vassal countries and neighboring countries.

As for the emperor, although he stayed with Concubine Shu as the concubines guessed.

But there is no you and me, and the phoenix is upside down.

At this moment, Ying Zhan was sitting in front of the bookcase in the study to review the official documents.

The official documents and recitals on his table were arranged in piles and piles of hills like gifts he received.

Wearing a blue-green skirt, Concubine Shu sat lazily on the Taishi chair beside her, bowing her head and reading quietly.

After Li Zhong recorded all the gifts, he first handed a booklet to the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, what this booklet records is the birthday gifts sent from all over the place this year. ”

"In addition, the servant has specially arranged some gifts in this booklet according to your instructions." As he spoke, he handed another booklet to the emperor.

And in this booklet, there are heavy gifts and light gifts.

Every year on the emperor's birthday, he will receive countless congratulatory gifts.

There are so many congratulatory gifts, and they can be registered as slaves, because this is their duty.

But the emperor has all the opportunities, and it is impossible to see them the same.

But the emperor also has to have a number in his heart.

Therefore, the emperor explained to him and asked him to keep a key record of heavy and light gifts.

Anyway, those decent and unremarkable gifts are almost the same, and the emperor doesn't have to look at them.

But the emperor has to know the gifts that are too expensive, and he will return the gift in the future.

As for the light courtesy, the emperor has to look at it even more.

Look who dares to despise the emperor and despise the imperial power!
