Chapter 267: Heavy on the mind
It's just that Mo Yingge really didn't expect that the person sent by the palace would be the eldest duke next to the emperor, Grandpa Xu.
I heard about the fact that someone was sent in the palace, Mo Yingge didn't pack up much early in the morning and hurried out to receive the order, Xu Gonggong saw Mo Yingge when he was in the court that day, but he had a very good impression of this young lady who knew the etiquette.
Coupled with the performance of Moyingge today, Gonggong Xu unconsciously said a few more words to Moyingge.
"Miss Bai, there is something in our family that I want to remind you of." Gonggong Xu said, and glanced around, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.
Mo Yingge also made a very cooperative appearance, walked a few steps closer and said, "Duke Xu, please speak." ”
Gonggong Xu lowered his voice and said to Mo Yingge: "This matter, our family should not have revealed it, after all, this is a confidential matter, but our family looks at Miss Bai is really kind, and Miss Bai is so knowledgeable, our family really can't bear it." ”
After some foreshadowing, Duke Xu finally slowly said the key point he wanted to say, "This time, the envoys of the Southern Barbarian Tribe, visiting the capital, actually have the purpose of making peace, but now, Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess is still young, and it is not yet marriageable, so ah, the Queen Mother and the emperor are a princess with a foreign surname." ”
Speaking of which, what else does Mo Yingge not understand?
It's just that she is still a little strange in her heart, how could Gonggong Xu, who is one of the closest people around the emperor, tell her so directly?
But no matter what, Mo Yingge still expressed her heartfelt thanks to Grandpa Xu, "Luoshui thanks Grandpa Xu." Saying that, Mo Yingge also bent over, which can be regarded as a big gift for Gonggong Xu.
Father-in-law Xu let go of half of his body and accepted half of Mo Yingge's courtesy, Mo Yingge saw it in his eyes, and glanced at Tsing Yi behind him, Tsing Yi immediately stepped forward with a smile, got close to Grandpa Xu's side, made a warm look and smiled Grandpa Xu said, "Thank you Grandpa Xu, this is a little caution from our young lady." ”
While speaking, Tsing Yi handed out a thick purse from his cuffs, in terms of money, Mo Yingge has never been in short supply, so the gifts sent out are naturally very rich.
After all, Father-in-law Xu is a person who has been in the palace, and there are too many such things, but when Father-in-law Xu took the purse handed over by Tsing Yi, even an experienced old man like him couldn't help but change his face suddenly.
Such a heavy purse, it is really the most generous one that Father-in-law Xu has received since he became the personal father-in-law by the emperor's side, and the feeling is heavy, judging from Father-in-law Xu's experience, if it is silver, it is estimated that it is at least more than fifty taels.
Gonggong Xu took the things handed over by Tsing Yi with a smile, and then exchanged a few polite words with Mo Yingge and left.
After turning around and getting into the carriage, Gonggong Xu couldn't help but open his purse on the carriage with curiosity, but he didn't know if he didn't see it, and when he saw the things inside, he almost killed Gonggong Xu, a handful of people of his age.
Mo Yingge made the red envelopes wrapped in Tsing Yi all gold!
Anyway, it was all won from Dugu Haoran before, and this money, even if Mo Yingge squandered it casually, it was definitely enough for her to squander it for several lifetimes.
Since you can't spend them all, it's better to use them in useful places.
Father-in-law Xu received such a big gift from Mo Yingge, and naturally he also wanted to do practical things, but when he thought of the conversation between the Queen Mother and the emperor that he heard by chance, Father-in-law Xu couldn't help but take a big breath, "This Miss Bai, I really don't know whether to say that her life is too good, or her fate is not good!" ”
Naturally, Mo Yingge doesn't know about these.
Mo Yingge finished sending off Father-in-law Xu, turned his head and went back to the house to start dressing up, and changed into the clothes sent from the palace.
When Tsing Yi was dressing up for Mo Yingge, he suddenly muttered to himself, "It's strange, Miss enters the palace on weekdays, and I don't see clothes specially sent from the palace." ”
Tsing Yi was just an unintentional sentence, but it was listened to by Mo Yingge heartily.
Thinking of Father-in-law Xu's words today, Mo Yingge felt that the guess in her heart must be inseparable.
Palace.
"Grandpa Xu, how are things going?" A low and somewhat majestic male voice sounded, and Gonggong Xu saluted the man and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, the old slave has already revealed the matter to Miss Bai." ”
Zhao Shengyi nodded, and the chasing wind behind him took a step forward and stuffed a bag of things directly into Grandpa Xu's sleeve, but he didn't expect Grandpa Xu to retreat again and again.
The place where they are located is relatively hidden in the palace, and this is the East Palace, and they are all Zhao Shengyi's people, so there is no need to pay attention to it so much.
Father-in-law Xu's strange behavior, he himself quickly came up with an explanation, and Gonggong Xu bowed to Zhao Shengyi and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't hide it, Miss Bai has already rewarded the slave today, so the slave will not accept His Highness's money." ”
After a pause, Gonggong Xu continued: "If there is anything in the future, there is no need for His Highness to remind him, the old slave will inform him, Your Highness can rest assured, Miss Bai...... She's a good girl. ”
Zhao Shengyi listened to Father-in-law Xu's words, and was a little puzzled at first, so he asked: "There is a question, please answer Father-in-law Xu, Father-in-law Xu should be the first time to see Miss Bai herself today, how can he ......?"
Gonggong Xu knew what Zhao Shengyi wanted to ask, so he simply told the truth: "If you go back to Your Highness, you can't hide it, the old slave's impression of Miss Bai is not bad, plus ...... Today, Miss Bai's reward for the minions is actually fifty taels of gold, so if she receives someone's money, she naturally wants to do things, and if you think about it, Miss Bai is also a smart person. ”
When Zhao Shengyi heard this, he understood a little, and said to Gonggong Xu: "Since this is the case, then thank Gonggong Xu." After speaking, he glanced at Chasing the Wind, and the money bag was still sent to Father-in-law Xu.
After cleaning up, the carriage sent by the palace also arrived, and today's Moying Song, for some reason, looks like it has a special charm.
Mo Yingge specially instructed Tsing Yi to dress up plainly today, after all, he was only responsible for receiving the envoys of the Southern Barbarian Clan, so there was no need to be very grand.
Although Tsing Yi felt a little strange, but still did it according to Mo Yingge's requirements, the clothes sent from the palace were very heavy and gorgeous, and the color was still a relatively bright color.
But fortunately, Mo Yingge's appearance can still hold up, although it is a little strange, but it is still a beauty, Tsing Yi and Xiaoying A few little girls saw it, and they couldn't help but joke: "Miss is really like a heavenly girl who has descended to earth, I really don't know who will be so blessed in the future to marry Miss!" ”
Another person agreed, "Eh, if that young lady is a fairy, aren't we the maidservants of the fairy?" Mo Yingge smiled and hit the little warbler who said this, and said, "Okay! I know that the poor mouth, the time is almost up, I'm leaving, bamboo, have you brought the things? ”
Mo Yingge has been planning to take bamboo intentions with him these days, if nothing else, if he brings bamboo intentions, not only can they fight together at a critical time, but even when he runs, he will not seem too rushed and hurried.
I have to say that the matter of the Southern Barbarians visiting Beijing is really quite big.
After all, in everyone's impression, these three words of the Southern Barbarian are backward and poor, and the four words of the defeated generals seem to be forever imprinted on the body of the Southern Barbarian people.
The capital is still too high for the emperor to be far away, and they don't know that the border pass has long been urgent, yes, the Southern Barbarians suddenly launched an attack a while ago, and directly attacked more than ten cities in the Central Plains border pass.
Because the border of Nanban was too reassuring and careless, the imperial court simply forgot that there was such a fierce existence as Nanban.
In the past, the Nanban often launched all kinds of harassment on the border of the Central Plains, all of which were petty fights, and the imperial court didn't take it seriously, and when they really paid attention, it was already time for more than a dozen cities to be lost.
There is a lack of guards on the Nanban border all the year round, so the imperial court couldn't react for a while, so it had to choose to negotiate peace first, and postpone it for a while, but secretly sent Zhao Shengmin, who was sent to the northern border, to the Nanban border.
When Mo Yingge arrived at the palace, the envoys of the Southern Barbarian tribe had arrived, but they were arranged by the emperor to rest in other palaces. ”
Mo Yingge knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was looking for herself, and she must have planned to ask her about entertaining the envoy group, so she followed the little palace maid over.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of the Queen Mother's palace, I met the eighth princess!
Mo Yingge and Zhao Wanyi's faces showed a look of surprise, and Mo Yingge bowed her head first and saluted, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess." ”
The eighth princess stepped forward with a smile and said to Mo Yingge with a somewhat surprised tone: "I didn't expect to meet Miss Bai here, is Miss Bai also here to see the imperial grandmother?" Mo Yingge nodded.
