Chapter 180: Tortoiseshell
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, except for the lady Yinghua who went crazy in her early years, Huo Guifei's favor has always been unique. After many years, the concubine suddenly became pregnant, and the entire Sixth Palace, including the previous dynasty, was alarmed.
Changtai was overjoyed, and was sent to Xifu Palace for seven consecutive days, and the imperial physician personally ordered Yu Taiqi to take the two imperial doctors who were the best at women and babies in the Tai Hospital to stay in the Tai Hospital from now on, waiting for the summons at any time.
Even the Queen Mother, who has always been very fond of the Huo family on weekdays, sent Qi Yun to visit and comfort Princess Rongshou because of the first pregnancy in the palace in three years.
In this case, the fact that the prince suffered a small injury was naturally ignored. There was Huo Guifei pleading, Su Ruhui stayed in the warm pavilion of Xifu Palace for two hours, and was sent back to the Yutang Hall safe and sound, and pleaded guilty in front of the Queen Mother the next day, and the Queen Mother only reprimanded a few words, and punished her to kneel in the palace for two hours before giving up.
"Go get that box of tortoiseshells." The inner room of the Yutang Hall was busy, several large boxes were opened one after another, and the silk and satin, hairpin ring pearls and jade, precious medicinal materials and so on were spread everywhere, only to see a room of jewels, bright clothes, and nowhere to go down, Zhou Yi'er and the county lord of Danzhu came in like this, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "What's the matter?" ”
Su Ruhui wore a dark robe, which was tied with a Luo skirt embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers, her black hair was half pulled, and a wisp had been scattered because she was busy, and she casually dialed it to the back of her head, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You guys came just in time, come and pick out this box of tortoiseshell for me, which ones are the best?" ”
"You can let us go in a few places to stay, so let's go in." Zhou Yi'er was most familiar with her in the past, and she said unrestrainedly, pulling the county lord of Danzhu and said, "The county lord has seen it now?" People can't look good, when is this person not dignified and polite when he looks at him from the outside? This is good, let's come to see her, she didn't even serve a bowl of water, but she instructed people first! ”
The county lord of Danzhu smiled sweetly: "Sister Ruhui, don't you treat us as outsiders!" ”
"You just help her speak, and you want me to say, it's okay to help her pick a hawksbill turtle, and we have a share in the selection of the good ones!"
Su Ruhui casually picked up a jade comb on the dressing table, pinned the wisp of hair, held the box and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, you can pick out the things you like first, and the right is my thanks!" ”
"That's pretty much it." At this time, Xiuwan and Fushui had already moved a few empty spaces for the two of them to enter, but even the embroidery benches in the room were full of large and small clothes and stacks of Ayaluo, but there was no place to sit.
Su Ruhui looked left and right, and simply asked people to hang the tent high and take them to sit on the edge of the bed.
Danzhu stretched out her hand and flicked the tortoiseshell on the plate in front of her, these have not yet been made into hairpin rings, but when she saw that the tortoiseshell of all sizes was crystal moist, oily and shiny, and the patterns on it were naturally generated, all of them were extraordinary, and she suddenly wondered: "Sister Ruhua's box tortoiseshell is excellent, why do you have to choose?" ”
Zhou Yi'er also said: "Haven't you already sent the gift from Concubine Huo with us, is this another thank you gift?" ”
"Where is the concubine? If it were the concubine, I wouldn't have to bother so much. Su Ruhui smiled helplessly and lowered her voice, "It's for the prince's side......"
The lord of Danzhu said curiously: "The tortoiseshell and clothes that my sister took out here are all used by women, why are they given to the prince?" Besides, if the prince is injured, he should also send medicinal herbs. ”
Zhou Yi'er reacted faster than Danzhu, and said with a pout: "I know, I heard that there was a secretary account nearby that day, but you were too careful, a secretary account, not even a concubine, what you brought into the palace are all good things, how can they be used?" There are no palace rules to restrain it, and there is absolutely no reason to let concubines and others use the things of the concubines! ”
"Treasurer?" Danzhu will be overwhelmed at this time, "Then why did my sister let us pick out the good ones?" ”
Su Ruhui glanced at her: "I just want to apologize to the prince, and by the way, I also brought a copy to the two accountants, but the identities of those two ...... You can't give them more than you and your mothers, can you? That's why you can pick out the good ones for me, and just give two of those ordinary ones. ”
"This is embarrassing, who doesn't know your Su family's handiwork? It's what the maid wears, and the concubine of the idle family is not as good, but it is the account of the two slaves and maids. Zhou Yi'er snorted.
"Thank goodness I only came to find me today, but I didn't want you to talk to me like this." Su Ruhui smiled and said, "I'll thank you later." ”
The lord of Danzhu County said strangely: "What is Sister Zhou doing to find Sister Ruhui, isn't it?" ”
"As soon as I came, you caught me picking the tortoiseshell for you, but I almost forgot about it, I didn't come to ask you for a crime?" When Zhou Yi'er heard this, he hurriedly shouted, "If you don't call us for this little hoof, you still go to tease the eagle of the King of Chu!" If the prince hadn't saved you around there, would you have been able to stand it with a claw gently scraping your face? ”
Dan Zhu also hurriedly said: "Sister Ruhui is reckless. ”
Su Ruhui sneered: "I'm not just reckless...... But it has affected your cousin! ”
"My cousin is okay, after all, he is a person who has practiced martial arts." Zhou Yi'er glared at her, "You don't want to buy me with a few tortoiseshells, I just tell you, if you don't apologize for my mistake for a while, don't think about me being angry!" ”
"I did it myself!" Su Ruhui sighed, "Who thought that you didn't think about it just now, and I had a lot to mention?" It's just one thing, good sister, pick up the things first, and then accompany me to the East Palace, I really don't have the face to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone! ”
Danzhu snorted and laughed: "It's strange and pitiful as Sister Hui said!" ”
Although Zhou Yi'er was joking, what he said was also the truth, the Su family was originally a Dayongmen valve, and the things that Su Ruhui brought into the palace were deliberately selected, even if they were ready to reward the palace slaves and maids, they were also made by famous people, and each piece was extraordinary, not to mention that the prince's identity as the accountant was embarrassing, and he was still a slave according to the palace system, but if the accountant had some means, sometimes even the princess had to be polite.
This kind of half-master, half-slave person, you give her slaves and maids what you use, you must have the intention of making enemies, if you give her the same rank as the nobles, but you are not qualified. Therefore, Su Ruhui had such a headache, and specially invited Zhou Yi'er and Danzhu County Lord to help pick it. But before calling these two people, she also said hello to Huo Qinglian, only saying that the Queen Mother had never been able to leave Xiao Huo's family, and she didn't dare to disturb, lest Huo Qinglian feel unhappy.
The three of them were from extraordinary backgrounds, so they chose and chosen, and finally it was easy to choose two suitable things, plus the generous gift that Su Ruhui planned to give to the prince to atone for his sins, he ate in the Yutang Palace, and planned to go to the East Palace after a while.
"By the way, a foreign woman is not allowed to go out without permission. Court, have you asked the queen for a decree? Zhou Yi'er suddenly remembered when she was drinking tea.
"I went to ask my mother yesterday, and my mother asked me not to bother with this, and I asked for a meeting." Su Ruhui put his arm on Yu Chuan and said, "I'm also afraid that I will have something to say, so I bother you two to accompany me on this trip." ”
"This man made a mistake himself, but he wants to pull the two of us together." Zhou Yi'er said to Dan Zhu, "What did you say about that?" There was a fire at the city gate, seedlings and pond fish, and the two of us were so affected by her. ”
Danzhu smiled: "Go back and let Sister Rue thank you well, we are." ”
"Danzhu is virtuous." Su Ruhui hurriedly praised.
"She helped you speak, you want to say that she is virtuous, and if you want me to say, the county lord is bad, and let me be a bad person alone in vain!" Zhou Yi'er said angrily.
Danzhu grinned and said, "Where is it?" If Sister Yi'er is not good, will she still help Sister Ruhui pick this tortoiseshell for a long time? ”
"That's true, this has no conscience, and it makes my eyes a little flowery." Zhou Yi'er looked at the hourglass, "The hour is almost up, do you want to leave now?" ”
Su Ruhui was about to speak, but saw Feiou come in and said respectfully: "Miss, Miss Huo Qi is here!" ”
The three of them were all stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up: "Sister Lian'er is here?" Why aren't you invited in? ”
Huo Qinglian smiled and brought two palace maids in: "I served the Queen Mother and had a meal, thinking that Ruhua had something to help here, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't want you to be busy." ”
"My sister came just in time, we were planning to accompany Ru Hui to the East Palace, this person did something wrong and had a weak heart, we must give her the courage to go, if my sister is not busy, why don't we go together?" Zhou Yi'er smiled lightly.
Huo Qinglian agreed: "I originally wanted to help you, but I knew that I was late, and I didn't help anything, this laziness can't steal." She saw the two fat powder hairpin rings on the prepared things at a glance, and couldn't help but have a hint of different color on her face, "How can there be this for the things given to the East Palace?" ”
"Ru Hui is sorry in her heart, but I am afraid that the etiquette is not enough and not complete, no, even the two accounts are prepared." Zhou Yi'er hurriedly smiled, "But then again, although she is a slave, she is also a person who serves the prince, and the prince seems to be carrying one of the accounts nearby that day, so you can't take it too lightly." ”
Huo Qinglian's eyes flashed, he didn't say anything, he just smiled: "Are you planning to go over here?" Let's go. ”
