I'm a lazy person, so I'm not going to join in the fun. ”

Murong Hui didn't care about those novelties, so she shook her head and said.

"This winter banquet has always been held by the eldest princess, and it is very interesting every year, I heard that this year there are also things sent from other countries, Your Highness really doesn't want to take a look?"

Gao Ziyue likes to watch the excitement the most, so she follows her cousin to the winter banquet every year.

"If I get an invitation, you can bring my invitation with you, and I'll say I'm not feeling well."

Murong Hui smiled, still not interested, she fiddled with the jasper lotus pot she had just gotten, a little distracted.

It's really today, the impact of softness on her is too great, and she thinks that a woman like a peony will be able to pretend to be so weak one day, which makes her feel a little scared in her heart.

"Your Highness, I heard that this time I want people to be bargaining chips, these people are all foreigners, and their appearance is not quite the same as that of Rong Guoren, everyone thinks it is fresh, so they want to go and see it."

Although Xu Qing was also a little curious, she didn't care much about it, she couldn't be a human being, how strange could she be, and could she have one more eye than Rong Guoren?

"Sister Xu, as soon as you say this, Your Highness will be even less interested, I just hope that Your Highness will go out for a walk, so as not to stay in the palace all day."

Gao Ziyue couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but she heard that the queen mother was also against Murong Hui going out, so she came up with such an idea.

Murong Hui shook her head amusedly, ordered someone to put away the teacup, brought two plates of dim sum, and gave them a taste.

The two chatted for a few words, but when they saw that they still couldn't convince Murong Hui, they had to leave disappointed.

"Why doesn't Your Highness go?"

Qingyue was naturally a little curious when she heard that she could see a foreigner at the banquet, so she asked suspiciously.

"Because this winter banquet is hosted by the eldest prince, in the past, the eldest princess and His Royal Highness's mother were not on good terms, so she never invited Her Highness, but this year, due to the face of the emperor and queen, I want to invite Your Highness."

Mama Huang thought about it for a while, then guessed Murong Hui's thoughts, and said helplessly.

"This eldest princess has always been arrogant, if Her Highness doesn't go, she won't give her face, I'm afraid that she will become more and more displeased with Your Highness, Your Highness might as well go."

Mama Huang thought for a moment, and her face showed a little worried.

Although this eldest princess has no substantial power, she is very popular among the royal family, if she is not happy with Murong Hui, Murong Hui really can't do anything to her.

"Let's talk about it then, how many days are left?"

Sighing, Murong Hui was really too lazy to pay attention to these things, and beckoned Mama Huang to bring her and Gao Ziyue's newly opened shop account book and study it carefully.

This shop has been open for a while, and business has been good, and the three of them calculated that it would take less than half a year to earn back the cost of investment.

Seeing that she had earned so much silver, her mood was a little better.

Seeing this, Mama Huang also knew that Murong Hui had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.

"Your Royal Highness, all the winter cotton clothes have been delivered, and the queen mother also specially sent two sets of auspicious clothes to wear in the beginning of winter, which is really beautiful."

It didn't take long to see Mama Huang walk in again, with several palace maids.

The maid of the palace dragged a tray in her hands, and all the clothes were placed in the tray.

Murong Hui stood up and took a closer look at the freshly made winter clothes.

What she cares about is not how good the auspicious clothes are, but that Lin Yingxue personally ordered someone to make it for her.

This kind of heart really makes people feel warm, like drinking a cup of warm tea in winter.

"Rose, it's delicate enough."

Murong Hui touched the embroidery on the auspicious clothes, nodded and smiled.

Mama Huang also pursed her lips and laughed, but as soon as she was halfway through the laughter, she suddenly found that this kind of embroidery was very familiar, like the craftsmanship of the exquisite embroiderer in the east hall.

"Qingxue's craftsmanship is also in the palace middle school, probably this embroidery girl and her are taught by a master."

Mama Huang didn't care, she had seen this kind of thing in the palace a lot, and she didn't think it was strange at all.

"Go and call Qingxue and let her identify whose craftsmanship this is, the embroidery is good, I want to reward this embroiderer."

Let people take down the other clothes first, Murong Hui said to Qingyue.

Qingyue nodded, and hurriedly went to find Qingxue.

Qingxue is a very silent girl, she keeps to herself on weekdays, if she didn't have a good craft, she would have been squeezed out of the East Side Palace.

Hearing Murong Hui say that she wanted to see her today, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she still put down the work in her hand, hurriedly got up and followed Qingyue towards the small living room.

"If Your Highness knows who embroidered it, just ask the Shangfu Bureau directly."

Mama Huang felt a little strange and said suspiciously.

"Don't you think it's weird? Qingxue, this girl is not outstanding, and she is not able to speak well, according to the virtue of these people in the palace, how can she have the opportunity to mix in the east side hall. ”

Murong Hui smiled, and then asked Mama Huang.

Mama Huang couldn't help but be stunned, she had never thought of this question before, and she really couldn't answer it for a while.

"Your Highness Qingxue is here."

After a while, I saw Qingyue walking over with Qingxue.

"Come and see whose embroiderer this is."

Murong Hui didn't say much, but asked at Qingxue.

Qingxue answered, and hurriedly checked it carefully, and after a while, she was a little choked.

However, she soon pretended to be calm, saluted Murong Hui and said, "Back to Your Highness, this should be the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady Huang Chen." ”

"Huang Chen? The cousin of the former Shangfu Bureau Shanggong? ”

Mama Huang is very familiar with these human relationships, so she quickly said to the number.

"Exactly."

Qingxue quickly calmed down and said with certainty.

"Are you sure?"

Murong Hui stared at her and asked, this girl is sensitive, she can't hide anything at all, Murong Hui saw her reaction just now, so she deliberately asked again.

"Slave is sure."

Qingxue paused slightly, but still insisted.

"Qingxue, you are from my palace, I will naturally take care of you if something happens, so I want you to be honest with me!"

Clang......

Murong Hui put the white jade teacup on the table, Qing Xue immediately shuddered, and heard Murong Hui say coldly.

"Qingxue, what are you hiding, hurry up!"

Qingxue is not a scheming person, so she soon couldn't bear it, and kept breaking out in a cold sweat, even Mama Huang saw that something was wrong with her.

"The slave maid said, will His Highness investigate this matter thoroughly? If you don't investigate thoroughly, it will kill them, and the slave will not say it. ”

Qingxue sobbed, but her face was firm, and her eyes revealed a bit of determination.

Looking at her like this, if Murong Hui forced her to say it, she was afraid that she would rather die than say anything.

"I promise you to look into the matter thoroughly."

Murong Hui was silent for a moment, and then said lightly.

She knew that if she did this, she would inevitably offend some people, but since the matter was brought up by her, and she had already asked this point, there was no need to back down again.

Qingxue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and told all the true situation of the Shangfu Bureau.

Not to mention Qingyue, they are Mama Huang, the old people who have been immersed in the palace for many years, after hearing these news, they couldn't help but be stunned.

According to Qingxue, there is a strict hierarchy in this Shangfu Bureau, and the level is solidified.

Those who can be officials in the Shangfu Bureau must be relatives who have also been officials before.

This kind of person almost monopolizes most of the oil in the Shangfu Bureau, and the rest of the embroidery girls are also divided into two groups, and some of the embroidery girls do not work at all and only receive money.

Others have to bear double the workload, and their work is often replaced by those who don't work.

For example, today's wide-sleeved group of roses was repaired by Qingxue's master and then hung under Huang Chen's name.

"What is the origin of this Huang Chen?"

Murong Hui was a little surprised, she was also an embroiderer, why did some of them have to do double work, and this work had to be recorded on the heads of others, while others could sit back and enjoy it?

"If there is no accident, Huang Chen will be the next Shanggong of the Shangfu Bureau."

Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and hurriedly spoke.

Murong Hui raised her eyebrows, and suddenly laughed, feeling that she had really opened her eyes today.

She raised her head and glanced at Mama Huang, and found that her expression was as usual, as if she had thought it would be like this.

"You already knew about it?"

Murong Hui looked at Mama Huang in some surprise, but after thinking about it, there was nothing strange about it.

After all, this Mama Huang has been in the palace for so many years, what kind of world has she not understood?

"In fact, every bureau has such a thing, even the imperial dining room, His Royal Highness also knows why the old slave was squeezed out of the imperial dining room, there are too many such things in the palace, and they can't be managed at all."

Mama Zhang walked over at this time, as if she was a little emotional.

"The next bureau is different from the Shangfu Bureau, the embroidery girl of the Shangfu Bureau wants to double the palace, and she hurts her eyes early, and many of them are blind before they are out of the palace, and they are very miserable, so I ask Your Highness to help them."

Seeing this, Qingxue simply said everything.

"I will tell my aunt about this matter, and my aunt will definitely investigate this matter, only the emperor and queen are the masters in this palace, and others are not qualified."

Murong Hui sighed and said to Qingxue.

"Thank you, Your Highness, slaves and maids, thank Your Highness for those embroiderers."

Qingxue kowtowed several times at Murong Hui, her head was broken, and she seemed to be a little excited.

"You go down first."

Seeing her like this, she was depressed by such a thing on weekdays, and she felt quite uncomfortable in her heart, so she rewarded her with a tael of silver and let her go down to rest.

When this happened, Murong Hui saw these gorgeous auspicious clothes again, and felt that the embroidery on the auspicious clothes was particularly dazzling, so he hurriedly asked people to take down the auspicious clothes, and he went to the study to write carefully.

"Your Highness's temperament, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future."

Mama Huang looked at the back of Murong Hui leaving, sighed, and turned her head to Mama Zhang.
