Chapter 35: The Lady's Reward

In fact, the old face of Father-in-law De was already smiling.

Xie Qingwan smiled: "My father-in-law is the one who serves the concubine in the palace, and my father-in-law can afford this gift." ”

As the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat the dog, a eunuch like Gonggong De, even if he is just a servant servant, but his master is a favored concubine in the palace, and invisibly, his worth is different from ordinary people.

Father-in-law De only felt that his face was extraordinarily bright, and said with a smile: "Old lady, the fifth lady is really a well-informed girl, and the old lady teaches well." ”

Where did Old Madam Xie teach Xie Qing, but a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, but she instantly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law De has a good reputation." ”

"Where is the reputation of a slave, even the lady concubine often praises the fifth lady for her cleverness and general knowledge."

Xie Qing smiled lightly, she helped Concubine Shu let out a bad breath, Concubine Shu was not happy.

What is Father-in-law De referring to, of course Mrs. Xie knows, and she also nodded with a smile, Xie Qing's pit Ye family's affairs are really happy.

"Fifth Miss, the lady lady is very concerned about you, but the lady is in the deep palace, and it is inconvenient to come to the house, so I specially asked the slave to bring some gifts to Miss." Gonggong De waved his hand, and a little eunuch next to him handed over the things.

Xie Qing glanced at it, Concubine Shu gave a lot of things, jewelry in good condition, and precious medicinal materials to nourish the body, Concubine Shu is also a big deal.

"Xie Qing, thank you Concubine Niangniang, there is Gonggong Lao."

Gonggong De bowed slightly, most of the things rewarded by the concubine were precious things in the palace, but Xie Qing did not see any greed in his eyes, and his words and deeds were measured, elegant and generous.

"Miss Five is a good girl." Father-in-law De couldn't help but sigh.

Old Madam Xie also took Xie Qing's pampered look into her eyes, and she was slightly surprised in her heart. She rarely set her eyes on Xie Qing, but when she saw it today, she felt that she was generous and decent, demure and self-controlled, which was a good one.

"Thank you father-in-law for the compliment." Xie Qing nodded and smiled, "I wonder if Concubine Shu is okay?" ”

Father-in-law De nodded: "Niangniang is fine, but I often miss the Xie family, and I am still talking about it these days, and next month will be the old lady's birthday banquet." ”

Once the concubines in the palace enter the palace, they are basically isolated from the world, and even summoning relatives at home cannot be too frequent. Old Mrs. Xie thought of her daughter, and couldn't help but snort sourly, "Father-in-law, I am tired of returning to my mother, everything is fine in the Xie family, as long as my mother is doing well, the old body will be at ease." ”

Concubine Shu and the Xie family are one, Concubine Shu is doing well, the Xie family is fine, if Concubine Shu has an accident, the Xie family will probably not have a good result. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Mrs. Xie is telling Concubine Shu to be careful.

Xie Qing said with a smile: "Grandmother is also worried about Niangniang, next month is Grandmother's birthday banquet, if Niangniang can come, Grandmother will be very happy." ”

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!" Old Madam Xie hurriedly put on a straight face and reprimanded coldly. In fact, when she said it, tears rolled in her eyes, Xie Qing was right, next month will be her seventieth birthday, seventy years old, how can Mrs. Xie not want her children to be reunited. It's just that Concubine Shu is not marrying an ordinary person, she is the emperor, and there are many rules in the heavenly family, how can it be so easy.

Xie Qing hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Qing'er lost her words, please don't blame your grandmother." Qing'er just thought that since Niangniang entered the palace, she had never returned to Xie Mansion, and this time it was her grandmother's 70th birthday, if Niangniang could come back again, it would be great. ”

Old Madam Xie sighed lightly: "Don't talk about it, Niangniang has Niangniang's difficulties, don't trouble her." ”

He raised his eyes and looked at his father-in-law: "The girl is talking nonsense, father-in-law, don't take it to heart." ”

Father-in-law De said with a smile: "The old lady is too worried, what the fifth lady said is actually what the mother thinks." ”

Old Madam Xie looked slightly shocked: "You mean that Niangniang may return home?" The joy that could not be concealed between the words.

"Your Majesty has to agree to this, but according to the slave, there is a chance that this matter will be nine times out of ten."

Since Father-in-law De said this, it is basically a sure thing, Mrs. Xie was overjoyed, and kept muttering: "Okay, good." ”

Xie Qing smiled, Concubine Niangniang, looking forward to meeting you......

Duke De came out of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and went straight back to the palace, and the concubine was still waiting for him to reply.

"Father-in-law, how is the niece of this palace?" Concubine Shu sat on the soft couch, playing with the armor on her fingertips.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave sees that Miss Fifth is a wonderful person, and she is not shocked, even if she looks at the things that Niangniang gave her, she doesn't see any different colors, but she just grabs her grace in a proper manner." Father-in-law replied with a smile.

Concubine Xie Shu's eyes raised slightly, slightly surprised: "Oh? How so? ”

Xie Qing is the concubine of the second room, but the second master Xie died too early, and the Lin family was weak, resulting in the second room being like a little pitiful person who no one cares about, Concubine Xie never took it to heart, if it weren't for Xie Qing's great contribution this time and ruthlessly pit the Ye family, Concubine Xie Shu would have almost forgotten that she had such a nephew.

So it's no wonder that Concubine Xie Shu was surprised, Xie Qing and the Lin family can't be valued, where have they seen these good things in the palace on weekdays, but she can do it without changing her face, which is enough to show that her heart is indeed rare.

After thinking about it, Concubine Shu understood again, and said with a light smile: "Think about it, if she is not a smart person, how could she let the Ye family plant such a big heel." ”

Concubine Xie Shu said, and she couldn't help but smile on her face: "This palace has been fighting with Concubine De for so long, and I have never felt so cool as now!" Now everyone in the capital knows how Concubine De's maiden family can't get on the stage! ”

Gonggong De said with a flattering smile: "Niangniang, you are relieved, what is the Ye family like, you don't know, even Your Majesty has said it, that is a small family, how can you compare to Niangniang, you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion, the noble daughter of the family, how can Concubine De be comparable to Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xie Shu sighed lightly: "In the past, because the palace was born better than Concubine De, His Majesty felt that the palace should let Concubine De be some, and Concubine De also put on a soft and weak appearance. ”

Concubine Shu's eyes burst with a strong hatred, everyone thinks that Concubine Shu always has to be praised by Emperor Yongqing, this grace is also above Concubine De, in fact, Concubine Shu is a woman, she clearly knows that Emperor Yongqing has more respect for her, but she is intimate between lovers.

"This palace is not the queen, but I always have to be tolerant and generous, why should this palace!" Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine De, that slut, Your Majesty clearly knows that she is a person who can't be on the stage, but she named her son the king of Zhao, with the national surname as the title, what a great honor!" ”

Father-in-law De persuaded on the side: "Niangniang, don't be angry, the days to come will be long, what about King Zhao, our King Yi is not bad, and what can be raised by a small family, where can it be compared to King Yi raised by Niangniang herself." ”

Father-in-law De is Concubine Xie's confidant, and what she says is what Concubine Shu likes to hear, Concubine Shu restrained her emotions, collected her thoughts, and said: "Okay, this palace is also clear in my heart." This time, Concubine De planted such a big heel, the palace and the Xie family should be careful. ”

"Did Mother ever say that the Fifth Miss and Yun Shizi were going on?" Concubine Xie asked.

"The old lady said that a few days ago, the fifth miss went to the Huguo Mansion to enjoy the flowers, and met Yun Shizi, Yun Shizi was very polite to the fifth miss, and this time she saved the fifth miss, and I don't know if Yun Shizi is interested in the fifth miss."

Yun Jin is interested in Xie Qing?

Concubine Xie Shufei weighed it in her heart, and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then the Zhennan Wangfu is Yi'er's help, even if King Zhao marries Yun Zhixu, the Zhennan Wangfu is inherited by the Yun Shizi, and Yun Zhixu is only a concubine." ”

Gonggong De stood aside and did not answer.

"Send someone to tell my mother that at my mother's birthday banquet next month, I must give Yun Shizi a post, if I can promote this marriage, it will be a good thing for the palace and the Xie family." The corners of Concubine Xie's lips were lightly raised, if she could get married, it would be a great thing for her.

Gonggong De said with a smile: "Don't worry, Niangniang, Zhennan Wangfu will definitely make a post, but Yun Shizi has a withdrawn temperament and has rarely left the mansion for many years, so I don't know if I will be invited to go this time." ”

Concubine Xie said with a smile: "If he is really interested in the five girls, then he will definitely go." ”

……

Concubine Xie Shu was generous and gave many gifts, most of which were for Xie Qing, so that it attracted the displeasure of other ladies in the house, especially Xie Qi.

"Mother, aunt, why did she reward Xie Qing with so many things, I am unwilling!" Xie Qi's mouth was upturned, and he was indignant in his heart.

Xie Ru persuaded: "Qi'er, it's just some things, my aunt has rewarded you in the past, so don't worry about these." ”

Li's eyes sank slightly, and said: "Niangniang is only afraid that Xie Qing has made the Ye family faceless, and Niangniang is happy in her heart." ”

"Mother, eldest sister, aunt, what she rewarded Xie Qing in previous years was just some ordinary things, much worse than what she gave us, but now, my aunt clearly took a fancy to her, so she gave such a valuable gift."

In Xie Qi's opinion, she is the most favored in this mansion, except for Xie Ru, of course. But Xie Ru is her own sister, and she will always let her do something on weekdays. But now she has been robbed of the limelight by a silent and Xie Qing, how can she be willing.

Li Shi looked at Xie Ru worriedly: "Ru'er, what Qi'er said is right, you can't let Xie Qing get the blue eyes of Concubine Shu." ”

Concubine Xie Shu has always acted according to the rules, and the things she was rewarded in the past were strictly in accordance with the respect of the elders and the young, Xie Qing is the daughter of the second room, so her reward is higher than that of the concubines in the house, but it is far less than the two concubines of the big house, Xie Ru and Xie Qi. This is the grace of the concubine, indicating that she likes the children of the big house. But this time, although it was just a reward, nominally because Xie Qing was sick, he should be rewarded more, but in Li's opinion, this may not be a signal.
