Chapter 037, Incompetent Spy
Lin Xian rested for two days before going to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother.
Although the eyeliner of the Qianqing Palace was returned, Concubine Dong Eshu was not very dedicated to serving the emperor, but the Queen Mother looked at the little face that had obviously lost a lot of weight, and her heart was still more true than Shulu's secret performance. This Concubine Dong Eshu has a sharp mouth, a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she still does her best to take care of the emperor.
But Lin Xianyu's appearance fell in the eyes of Concubine Shu, that is, her salted fish sister must have been angry and wronged by the emperor's uncle, so she lost weight.
It has to be said that the latter's speculation is closer to the truth.
The Queen Mother's expression was gentle, and her tone was very kind: "These days, you have worked hard to serve the emperor. ”
Lin Xianyu said modestly: "The queen mother is serious, serving the emperor, I dare not say that it is hard." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Xianyu's plain face, showing pity, but she said: "You serve the emperor with heart and character, if you can give birth to a grandson for the mourning family......"
Lin Xianyu secretly blackened, "The concubine's face is damaged, and she just wants to live in peace in the palace." "-So don't toss me, can't I eat and drink as a salted fish?!
The Queen Mother doesn't really want to make this Concubine Dong Eshu favored, what kind of woman her son likes, isn't it clear to the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother sighed faintly, "If everyone were like you, there would be no such incidents in the palace." ”
Although Dong E Wanyan hangs up, the harem competition for favor will never stop. Lin Xianyu only heard that Concubine Wusu had fallen a few days ago and almost had a miscarriage after returning to Chuxiu Palace.
After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, it was already noon when Lin Xianyu returned to Chuxiu Palace.
Lin Xianyu was crooked on the Luohan couch near the window, drinking milk tea and eating snacks, flipping through this book of "Xu Xiake's Travels" in his hand to pass the time.
Ancient books are typeset vertically, and the wood has punctuation, which looks like a thief is laborious!
But I can't do it, I can only make do with it.
At noon in spring, it was warm, and Lin Xianyu began to doze off when he looked at it.
The palace maid Shulu quietly took the blanket and carefully covered it for her little master. Although the temperament of the little lord is more straightforward and offending than when he first entered the palace, he treats them very well. Shu Lu sighed, but it was a pity that she was the person appointed by the Queen Mother from the beginning, and she didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's orders, what she could do was to make her words a little better.
When Lin Xianyu was sleeping in a daze, he heard Shu Lu's cheerful voice: "Little master, wake up!" The Imperial Father-in-law is here! ”
The eunuch in charge of the imperial front? Dexi? What are you doing here?
Lin Xianyu's sleepy eyes were full of confusion, "Oh, that'...... Let her in. ”
Shu Lu hurriedly helped his little master up, "You better freshen up first!" ”
Lin Xianyu touched his loose bun...... Well, after a nap, my hair is a little loose, and it's time to pick it up.
had to get up and go to the dresser, let Shu Lu scatter her little two hands, Shu Lu's hands were like butterflies wearing flowers, and they were combed again after a while.
Because he didn't plan to go out or meet people today, Lin Xianyu didn't wear any jewelry. Therefore, Shu Lu quickly opened the jewelry box, took out a golden silk peony bead hairpin, and inserted it into Lin Xianyu's two small heads, "This peony hairpin rewarded by the Queen Mother is really gorgeous." ”
Lin Xianyu was speechless: Isn't it just to see a eunuch, and you have to dress up well?
Next, Shu Lu took some emerald Ruyi hairpins to decorate her sideburns, and picked out a pair of golden silk jade rabbit medicine earrings - for this thing, Lin Xianyu only had one feeling: It's really Shen! If you want this kind of large, pure gold earrings, you should honestly lie in the jewelry box and enjoy it as a display!
After beating her from head to toe, Shulu politely invited the former head of the palace, Dexi, to come in.
Dexi still had that happy face, "The slave asked Fujin for peace." The emperor said that Fu Jin had worked hard before, so he specially blessed Jin Lake with two boxes of pens, tribute and ink Quartet, ten knives of familiar Xuan, and one side of Chengni ancient inkstone. ”
When Lin Xianyu heard that they were all high-end goods, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
- This dog emperor is quite generous, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are the top goods, and there are more than a dozen of them in a large box of lake pens, which are different from large, medium and small, and have both wolves and sheep.
Needless to say, the tribute ink is all high-grade Hui ink, a complete set of plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, just in the Quartet.
Needless to say, it is the most suitable for calligraphy and fine brushwork, and a knife is a white sheet, and ten knives is a thousand, which doesn't sound too much. But the paper in this era is all handmade, and the craftsmanship of rice paper is even more delicate and complex, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it.
The ancient inkstone of Chengni is even more valuable, and it can be directly put on the auction house.
After receiving the reward, Lin Xianyu did not forget to stuff a silver ingot into Dexi, the chief eunuch, as an errand fee.
Dexi's smile immediately became even brighter, "The emperor has been dealing with the backlog of twists and turns a few days ago, and now he finally has time to praise Fu Jin's service to the sick." Oh, by the way, the emperor is discussing important matters with the ministers at this time, and Fu Jin doesn't need to rush to thank him, it's not too late to go tomorrow afternoon. ”
Lin Xianyu's smile suddenly dissipated, and she almost forgot that she had to thank her for receiving the reward!
Looking at these top four treasures of the study, Lin Xianyu wanted to say, don't you want these things?
Well, I want to know that the things given by the emperor are not what you say you don't want?
"Got it." Lin Xianyu had to ask Shu Lu to politely send Dexi away.
Shu Lu was overjoyed, and sent Dexi out of the Chuxiu Palace Ritual Gate, and then came back quickly, smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes: "The little master has served the sick with all his heart, and now he has touched the sacred heart." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xian Yu deserved goosebumps, and she hurriedly pointed to the pit on her face, telling Shu Lu not to dream about the Spring and Autumn Festival.
Shu Lu said: "Actually, the scar on the little master's face is not deep, if you have a few more layers of fat powder, it should be able to cover it." ”
Lin Xianyu shook her head, in modern times, she doesn't like heavy makeup, not to mention that the rouge gouache in this era is not waterproof, and it will be spent on a little sweat, if it is light makeup, it is fine, if it is sweaty with heavy makeup, it is simply a god's respect.
"Don't think about those who have or don't, aren't I doing well now?" Lin Xianyu was very satisfied with such a day, and only begged the Dog Emperor to stay away from him.
Shulu said in a low voice, "Actually...... The little master is a good learner, not inferior to the late imperial concubine. ”
Lin Xianyu didn't know that Dong Ewanyan only learned geometry, but ...... She raised her eyebrows: "The imperial concubine is favored, not just because of her talent. If she looks like no salt, then she is only eight buckets tall and blind! ”
Look at the favored and favored concubines in the palace, isn't that a flower and a moon? Before she didn't have a pit on her face, her appearance in the palace could only be regarded as average, but now she has a scar, and her appearance is only four, which is not as good as the modern public face!
"And the emperor also said before that it was for the sake of the queen mother that he would reward me." Lin Xianyu said lightly, "So, don't think about it all day long." ”
Shulu's expression was gloomy and he didn't say anything more.
Lin Xianyu is also convinced, this Shulu, isn't she the queen mother's person? Isn't it good to concentrate on your own espionage errands?
doesn't do business all day long, and always encourages her to compete for favor!!
