Chapter Twenty-Six: Celebratory Gifts
Chen Cairen of Lianchun Pavilion sent a box of rolling jade beads. This rolling jade bead can be said to be very valuable, and it is very pleasing to look at it round and round, and when he opened his congratulatory gift box, Chen Cairen's smugness was seen by others.
How can you be proud? If it weren't for the sake of befriending Yao Cairen, how could she give away her treasure?
Han Shanggong knew her thoughts, but whether she accepted this bead or not, it was impossible to return to Lianchun Pavilion. What she was wondering about now was, what kind of jewelry would be made out of these beads, whether it could be a pair of earrings, or what kind of decoration? These beads are not wasted.
Bai Baolin's monthly money is less than the previous ones, and his mother's family is weak, I heard that he has been in the palace for four or five years and has not been summoned, where can he send any good things?
Sure enough, even she smiled embarrassedly when she opened the box.
There was only a pair of silver rings in the box, and it was still the kind that was too heavy to wear on the ears. What kind of earrings does Yao Chuxi want to wear now? If you are tired of wearing gold and jade, you won't bring such a silver ring, right?
Han Shanggong saw Xia Cairen pursing his lips, wanting to be happy but not being happy, and he must have felt that this silver ring was ridiculous.
"Bai Baolin's silver ring is really timely." Han Shanggong accepted the box with a smile, "The little master was about to make a pair of silver bracelets for the dragon to wear on his feet after he was born, and the inner palace supervisor hadn't found a complete silver ring for a while, and he might have to work hard to hit the silver, but fortunately, Bai Baolin sent it." ”
"Yes." Bai Baolin muttered in a small voice, and then smiled.
A few talented people on the side were not happy, although they were still smiling on their faces, they turned around and walked out of Yunyan Pavilion.
"Why did Han Shanggong say that the little master needs this?" Luo Yu asked puzzled.
"Don't you see Chen Cairen's inevitable appearance?" Han Shanggong held his waist with one hand and sorted out the gift box with the other, and said, "Bai Baolin, this gift is inferior to them, and they don't have the upper hand in dealing with people, so they can still take advantage of it?" ”
Luo Yu didn't understand, but he thought that Han Shanggong would not harm his master, so he didn't ask in detail.
In the end, together with the silver ring, Han Shanggong was put into the treasury.
Before this side was cleaned up, the people from the Fule Palace over there came.
The person who came was still the father-in-law from last time, and Luo Yu stared at him, feeling that he couldn't do good things.
"Grandpa Bian." Han Shanggong walked out of the treasury quickly, bowing slightly like Bian Zongchen and saluting.
"Han Shanggong, please get up." Although Bian Zongchen was polite, he actually stood in place and didn't move half a step.
None of the two of them are higher in rank, so there is no need to do these things in vain.
"What is the matter with Grandpa Bian's visit today?"
"Concubine Qing heard that Yao Cairen was happy to get the dragon son, so she specially ordered me to send a congratulatory gift, and asked Yao Cairen to accept it." Bian Zongchen didn't seem to wake up, his eyelids were half drooping, and he didn't look at them properly.
Luo Yu knew that he was deliberately not giving Yunyan Pavilion a good look.
"That's really unfortunate, she is not feeling well, she is lying on the bed, and it is the same for me to help collect it." Han Shanggong said.
"How can that be the same?" Bian Zongchen smiled, with a look of contempt, "Concubine Qing Niangniang specially instructed that she would hand it over to Yao Cairen by herself, but it turned out to be in the hands of Han Shanggong, so I can't go back, right?" ”
Luo Yu was only afraid that she would scold Concubine Qing ten thousand times, but she couldn't say a word.
It's nothing to let the master come out and receive the congratulatory gift, but there are so many people who come to give the congratulatory gift from morning to afternoon, and the master hasn't seen any of them, but the person who has seen Concubine Qing? What do others have to say about it? I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined by them.
Besides, the master is really uncomfortable now, if he really comes out to receive gifts and sees something disturbing and upsetting, what should he do?
Luo Yu had to put all his hope on Han Shanggong.
Even if he doesn't accept the things of his Fule Palace, he can't let his master be despised in vain.
"I understand what Grandpa Bian said." Han Shanggong still kept a smile, "But Yao Cairen, her body is not comfortable, if something happens because of the things sent by Fule Palace, then don't say that you can't explain in front of Concubine Qing, even Concubine Qing Niangniang can't explain in front of the emperor, right?" ”
I really want to shout after listening to the falling rain!
Bian Zongchen's face darkened a lot when he heard this, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
No matter what, you can't tear your face here.
"Then it's okay for me to wait here, and ask Han Shanggong to go in with a congratulatory gift to inform Yao Cairen, which can be regarded as my dutiful, and go back to deal with Concubine Qing."
Now not only Han Shanggong, but even Luo Yu knows that there is definitely nothing good in the gift box.
Otherwise, why do you have to let Yao Chuxi see it with his own eyes?
Concubine Qing must have been afraid that Yao Chuxi would put the congratulatory gift into the warehouse without even looking at it after Bian Zongchen left, so she let Bian Zongchen keep an eye on it.
When he was in distress, the emperor's royal rooster suddenly appeared in front of the Yunyan Pavilion.
Bian Zongchen frowned, lowered his head deeply, and knelt on the ground with weak legs.
Now he can't help but look at people with his eyelids drooping, isn't that look in front of the emperor looking for death?
"What are you doing here?" When the emperor saw Bian Zongchen, he didn't want to see what he said.
"Back to the emperor, the slave is here to send a congratulatory gift for Concubine Qing."
"Oh?" The emperor didn't let everyone get up, but just swept around the room with a faint look in his eyes, "What about Yao Cairen?" ”
"The little master is not very comfortable, and he is lying in the back room." Falling rain answers.
"Since Yao Cai's body is not comfortable, then what are you waiting for here?" The emperor asked Bian Zongchen again.
Han Shanggong knelt beside Bian Zongchen, and Yu Guang saw the fine sweat on both sides of his forehead.
"Back to the emperor, this congratulatory gift was carefully prepared for Concubine Qing, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get into the eyes of Yao Cairen, so I asked the slave to come over and ask Yao Cairen if he was still satisfied, and it would not be too late for Fule Palace to send a congratulatory gift."
This is really a good reason, and Falling Rain feels that it can be said in the past.
But the emperor is so easy to fool?
"Open the box, and I will check it for Yao Cairen." The emperor took off his outer clothes under Pan Zhen'an's service, sat on the low floor, and looked at Bian Zongchen who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
The first time I saw the emperor like this, I didn't dare to breathe.
Without waiting for Bian Zongchen to say anything, Duan Kui took the box and opened it in front of the emperor.
The contents of that box are all too familiar.
It was the lantern made by the master of his own family on the last birthday of the second prince.
"What's going on?" The emperor asked, "Isn't this what Yunyan Pavilion sent to Fule Palace?" How did you send it back? ”
"Minions... Minions..."Bian Zongchen shuddered.
Before he came, Concubine Qing specially asked the queen, and the queen said that another batch of excerpts entered the Taihe Hall in the morning, and the emperor was so busy that he shouldn't go to Yunyan Pavilion.
If the queen hadn't said so, how dare Concubine Qing let him come? How dare you embarrass Yao Cairen?
But now? Bian Zongchen really had the heart to die headlong.
"It seems that the last lockdown was not enough." The emperor smiled a little playfully, "Go back and tell your mother, since one month is too little, then add another month, when you figure it out, when to count, let's go." ”
Bian Zongchen's legs were still trembling when he stood up.
"Han Shang Palace."
"The slave is here." Han Shanggong hurriedly turned around, facing the emperor, still kneeling.
"You're not young, get up."
"Yes, Your Majesty." When Han Shanggong was getting up, he suddenly had a pain in his back and almost fell to the ground. Luoyu hurriedly stepped forward on one leg and half-knelt to support her.
"Get up, all of you." When the emperor saw that everyone in the room was kneeling, he remembered that everyone was still holding courtesy.
"I'm going to see Yao Cairen, why hasn't such a big movement come out yet." The emperor's words revealed some worry, and even his pace was much faster.
Pushing open the door of the inner room, Falling Snow and Falling Frost knelt on the ground one after the other, and whispered, "Slave and maid, please give the emperor." ”
The emperor gave a stop gesture and walked to the bedside.
Yao Chuxi fell asleep again.
Although the emperor is busy with government affairs, he always thinks about Yunyan Pavilion, I heard that Yao Cairen has slept in the morning, who knows that he slept again in the afternoon? The emperor was a little crying and laughing.
How can you raise a fetus like this?
The sound of opening the door woke Yao Chuxi, and when she woke up completely, what she saw was actually the emperor. She thought it was a dream, and reached out a hand and gently rubbed her eyes.
"I'm coming." The emperor said softly, stretched out his hand and gently picked up Yao Chuxi, "How about today's meal?" Can you eat more? ”
Yao Chuxi nodded: "Has the emperor had lunch?" ”
"I used it."
"What time is it?" Yao Chuxi turned his head and asked about Luoxue.
"Back to the little master, it's going to be dinner in a while." Luoxue said.
Yao Chuxi was about to get out of bed after hearing this, but Luoshuang immediately took his shoes over, dressed them for his master, and helped his master out of bed.
"Are you feeling better?" The emperor asked.
"It's much better, it's nothing serious, it's the rain that they are too worried about, so they keep coaxing the concubine to sleep."
The emperor smiled and did not answer again.
Before dinner, when the sky was still bright, the emperor took Yao Chuxi to the imperial garden.
He Jieyu was admiring the flowers with Jiang Zhaoyi, and when they saw Pan Zhenan coming over with a few eunuchs from a distance.
Could it be that the emperor is coming? He Jieyu couldn't stop being excited.
"The slave asks for peace for He Jieyu and Jiang Zhaoyi."
He Jieyu was about to ask about the emperor, and then Pan Zhenan said that the emperor asked him to come over to 'clear the field'.
cleared the scene, even if He Jieyu didn't want to leave, Jiang Zhaoyi pulled her back.
The two retreated to the side and watched the emperor come over.
With the emperor, it was Yao Chuxi.
Before coming out, the rain changed the master's new clothes. The upper body is a palace dress with a dark cluster flower base, the lower body is a dark blue embroidered acacia skirt, and a light cyan thin gown with a neck tie and fluff is also put on outside the palace dress.
