Chapter 8: Gift-giving
Su Ying saw that Lian Zhi was back, and asked, "Princess, those palace slaves and maids only let them do some sprinkling and sweeping things for the time being, I don't know what the princess has planned?" ”
"Let the one named Wenhe wait in front of the palace with the three of you, and the rest of the people will do some rough work first, and then make arrangements after a few days." Lianzhi commanded.
Su Ying didn't understand what was different about that Wenhe, but since Lianzhi had ordered it, she did it.
"Also, these days, let the people in Yuyang Palace keep a low profile, clean up well, and stop for a few more days. The palace estimated that it would not be able to stop in a few days. ”
"Yes."
Lian Zhi sneered in his heart, since he likes to stuff people with her so much, if he doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it hurt the "kindness" of those people?
Lianzhi didn't expect it badly, it did stop in the past few days, but not long after Yuyang Palace was cleaned up, those princes and princesses really came to the door.
"This Yuyang Palace looks much better than that of Princess Ben." Wen Miqing said this as soon as she entered the door, she seemed to have forgotten about being threatened by Lian Zhi that night, and Lian Zhi did not mention that incident again.
"Thank you, Princess Miqing, for coming to see me." Lianzhi replied.
Wen Miqing gave the gift, and then Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu also presented the gift: "I originally wanted to ask the fifth brother to come together, but the fifth brother and the sixth sister couldn't come over because Concubine Shu was not in good health and had to accompany them." ”
The fifth prince Wen Zhiyan and the sixth princess Wen Yunxi are the biological children of Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu is sick, so she must accompany Concubine Shu more.
Wen Zhiyan added: "But the fifth brother asked the king to bring him and the sixth sister congratulatory gifts." ”
The gift will not be given in front of Lianzhi, but Su Yue and Su Ying have already written it down.
Su Yue and Su Ying went to register the list of gifts, so it was Su Qing and Wen He who stayed in the palace to serve, Wen Zhiyu glanced at Wen He: "This palace maid doesn't seem to have been brought by Princess Wanyang from Dongxia, right?" ”
"It was specially selected and sent by the Inner Chamberlain, and this princess saw that she was also smart and clever, so she stayed by her side to serve."
After Lianzhi finished saying this, Wen Zhiyan also changed the topic: "If Princess Wanyang lacks something, you must say it, this king met the queen mother early this morning, and the queen mother specially told you to take care of you more, it is not easy for you to come to Xichu alone." ”
"Thank you for your care." After Lianzhi finished speaking, he saw Wen Miqing looking around, and Wen Zhiyu blamed: "Miqing, what are you looking at?" ”
Wen Miqing pretended to be puzzled: "This princess thinks, Princess Wanyang is the future crown princess, if you talk about taking care of it, it should also be the third brother to take care of it, why are we all here today, and there is no trace of the third brother?" Then I remembered that at the dinner that day, the third brother was very satisfied with Princess Wanyang, and felt that he might have come one step ahead of us, hiding inside and preparing to scare us! So just now, I looked around, where was the third brother hiding? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with affairs, and we idlers can't compare." Lianzhi replied lightly.
Wen Miqing covered his mouth and smiled when he heard this: "It turns out that the third brother didn't come." ”
Wen Zhiyu also fanned the flames: "If this king is the third brother, no matter how busy he is, he will come to this trip." ”
Lian Zhi was about to say something, but he heard Wen Zhiyu's voice coming from outside the door: "This king is indeed no better than the two royal brothers who can walk around every day, but the second brother has a saying that is right, even if he is busy, this king still has to come this time." ”
Wen Zhiyu walked in, Wen Zhiyu and Wen Miqing's faces were a little unsightly, but Wen Zhiyu was extremely disguised, but it was fleeting, but Wen Miqing never paid attention to these: "It's really time for the third brother to come." ”
"Su Qing, serve tea." Lianzhi commanded.
Su Qing brought the tea, and Wen Zhiyu took a sip: "This tea seems to be old tea, the queen is such a careful person, I didn't expect there to be such an omission." ”
The smile on Wen Zhiyan's face did not change: "There are too many things for the queen mother to worry about all day long, and it is common sense that some places are omitted, but why didn't Princess Wanyang mention it?" We just came, and before we had time to take a sip of tea, we let the third brother find out first. ”
Lianzhi's hand rubbed on the tea lid: "But this princess thought about it, I thought that this year's new tea has not yet been served, so the palace is all old tea, but I didn't expect it to be the omission of the queen's mother, after all, this kind of omission has never happened in our Dongxia, how could the princess think that it would happen in the palace of Western Chu?" ”
Wen Zhiyan was scolded by Lianzhi, and his smile was a little reluctant: "The affairs of the Xichu harem are complicated, I heard that the Dongxia harem is very leisurely, and today I heard Princess Wanyang say this, and this king can be regarded as knowing a little bit or two." ”
"This princess thinks that if the queen can handle this complicated harem affairs in an orderly manner, without a little omission, she can show the queen's extraordinary ability, isn't it?"
Wen Zhiyan felt that Lianzhi was a little ignorant, he just wanted to round this matter over, but Lianzhi still held on tightly, a little annoying. He glanced at Wen Miqing, and Wen Miqing understood what he meant: "Third brother, what gift did you bring to Princess Wanyang today, why don't you open our eyes?" ”
"Aren't all the gifts registered in the warehouse, Princess Wanyang knows it herself, if the fourth sister is curious, you can stay and take a look with Princess Wanyang later." Wen Zhiyu replied, "But the fourth sister also reminded me that there is indeed something to be handed over to Princess Wanyang in person, and I hope Princess Wanyang likes it." ”
Wen Zhiyu said and took out a small long box from his arms and handed it to Lianzhi, Lianzhi took the long box and glanced at Wen Zhiyuan, Wen Zhiyuan hadn't said anything yet, Wen Miqing had already begun to urge: "Princess Wanyang, open it and take a look." ”
Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu also looked at it, the lotus stop could only be opened, and the purpose was the jade-colored step shaking, and the silver-white flower carvings on it were clearly visible, and the tassels were also different, and they were magical.
With such a delicate step, even Wen Miqing, who was accustomed to seeing good things, couldn't take his eyes off it, and Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu were also attracted. Lianzhi looked at Wen Zhiyu with some surprise, and Wen Zhiyu smiled slowly at her, with a bit of a joke: "Do you like it?" ”
Lianzhi saw a bit solemnity from Wen Zhiyuan's eyes, she suddenly remembered the situation when she returned the hairpin to Wen Zhiyu that night, and today he gave herself such a step shake, what does it mean?
"The hairpin is really not for you, this step is not bad." As if seeing Lianzhi's doubts, Wen Zhiyu added.
Wen Miqing came back to his senses: "What hairpin?" ”
"It's nothing, I just think Princess Wanyang is more suitable for Bu Shao." Wen Zhiyu's explanation made Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu stunned, Bu Shao is more valuable than a hairpin, and the person who wears Bu Shao is even more noble, and now Wen Zhiyu feels that Lianzhi is more suitable for Bu Shao, how much does he mean?
Wen Miqing didn't have so much thought: "The third brother has such a good thing, and I haven't seen the third brother take it out before, so I really prefer Princess Wanyang." ”
"I just got it two days ago, and the timing is clever, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to send it." Wen Zhiyu explained.
"Thank you Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your trouble, I like it very much." Lianzhi wanted Su Qing to take it down, but Wen Zhiyu spoke: "Since it was given by the third brother, why don't you let the third brother wear it for Princess Wanyang?" ”
Wen Zhiyu wanted to test Wen Zhiyu, but Lianzhi didn't wait for Wen Zhiyu to answer, so he said first: "No need, right?" ”
"This king thinks that what the second brother said is reasonable." Wen Zhiyu stood up and walked to Lianzhi's side under everyone's attention, Lianzhi wanted to say no, she just moved, Wen Zhiyu stretched out her left hand and pressed her shoulder, "Princess Wanyang don't have to worry about it." ”
Lianzhi heard Wen Zhiyu say this, he could only sit still, Wen Zhiyu stretched out his right hand and picked up the step shake, he thought for a while, as if he was thinking about where the hairpin was appropriate, and he seriously put the step shake hairpin into her hair.
Then Wen Zhiyu took two steps back and said appreciatively: "Not bad." ”
Lianzhi didn't wear a gorgeous hairpin ring today, and it looked a little plain, but after wearing that step shake, it seemed to be dazzling all of a sudden.
Wen Miqing looked at the step shake and couldn't take her eyes off it, she had always been used to what she liked, and others sent it directly to her, and now she liked this step shake very much, and deliberately said in front of Lianzhi: "It would be nice if this princess could also have such a step." ”
