Chapter 633, Concubine Zhao (I)
Fucha took a sip of milk tea and said in a low voice: "The matter of the harem, the daughter-in-law should not be a junior who has too much to talk about." It's just that the emperor's mother asked her daughter-in-law to learn to take care of palace affairs with Concubine Yu, and the concubine Niangniang has such a high reputation recently, is this appropriate? β
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "Anyway, it's a busy job in vain." "-His Majesty the Fourth Master didn't mean this, the more the concubine tossed, the more His Majesty the Fourth Master disliked.
Hearing this, the Fucha clan was relieved, this pure concubine was just a mother concubine and stretched out her hand to the backyard of the sixth master, and suddenly wanted to stuff over the two nieces who were like flowers and jade, if she became a mother concubine in the future, she might not know what it would look like.
Fucha smiled, "Actually, if you talk about noble background, Zhao Concubine Niangniang is better." β
Yao Jiaxin said: "You don't have to pay attention to these things, so you can relax and take care of yourself." β
Fucha answered softly with a "yes", muttered a few words, and then bowed and retreated.
Nong Yun personally sent away the pregnant Liufujin, and quickly returned to Yao Jiaxin's side, and said in a low voice: "Master Niangniang, do you want to be like a concubine?" β
Yao Jiaxin didn't care, "Anyway, being idle is idle." β
Nong Yun couldn't help but be speechless, Niangniang, do you want to watch the play again?
Because of the recent momentum of the concubine, don't say that Liufu Jin is in a hurry, and the ladies in the harem are also in a hurry. Except for Concubine Yu, the head of the concubine position of the assistant six palaces, Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu are not happy to be promoted to the concubine position and sit on an equal footing with them. Concubine Zhao was even more unhappy to be overburdened by the concubine.
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but ask: "Did Concubine Zhao give a gift to the Fucha clan?" β
Nong Yun shook his head: "That's not true." β
Yao Jiaxin let out an "oh", it seems that the Fucha clan just doesn't like the concubine.
As soon as he spoke, Wang Yicheng walked in quickly, and said to Qian'er: "Master Niangniang, Concubine Zhao Niangniang came to ask for peace, saying that her father and brother sent some local products to Beijing from Huguang's hometown, so I specially selected one first, and I want to present it to the queen." β
Yao Jiaxin: The old lady said it, even if Concubine Zhao wants to give a gift, she should give it to her!
Compared with the twists and turns of the concubine, Zhao Concubine's methods are really direct and neat!
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but feel funny, so she said, "Let her in." β
Although Concubine Zhao is not young, she has never given birth after all, so she is also top-notch among the harem concubines in terms of appearance and figure.
Concubine Zhao is wearing a festive jujube red string flower peony medicine flag dress today, with graceful steps, quite a bit of mature woman's charm, "Concubine to the queen mother, please be safe!" β
Yao Jiaxin glanced up and down at Concubine Zhao, "In the end, people are in good spirits when they are happy." β
Concubine Zhao had a smile full of charm on her face, "It's all the grace of the queen's mother, so that the concubine can see her mother's relatives every year." This time, the father and brother of the family went to Beijing to report on their work, and specially brought some Hubei specialties, and the concubine thought that the queen mother liked to eat fish, so she sent some fresh Wuchang fish, and some small specialties, and hoped that the queen would not dislike it. β
Wuchang fish, it is quite delicious, although this fish is not very precious in Wuchang, but this is sent all the way to Beijing, and it is not easy to keep it fresh.
Yao Jiaxin, who had a foodie attack, nodded with satisfaction, "This palace is also greedy for this little appetite." β
Concubine Zhao also understood that the queen liked food, so she did what she liked, and sent a private message to her father and brother in Hubei early this spring, asking her father and brother to collect local umami specialties.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Concubine to only send a few fish, and in addition, there are definitely more valuable things.
Concubine Zhao chatted about some interesting stories about the scenery of Hubei, and said that her father and brother were deeply favored by the emperor and were full of gratitude, but she did not mention the promotion and sealing at all.
After Zhao Concubine was hotly connected, she retired.
It took a while for Nong Yun to finish counting the gifts of Concubine Zhao, and he couldn't help but speak: "Master Niangniang, Concubine Zhao has really given a lot of gifts, and the Wuchang fish slaves are really fresh and fat, there are more than a dozen of them, in addition to a lot of Hubei specialties, there are ten catties of high-quality Enshi Yulu tea, and twenty high-grade Xuan'en hams." β
As he spoke, Nong Yun lowered his voice again: "There is also a complete set of eighteen pieces of gold, this is the big head." β
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but be speechless, she knew that the gift given by Concubine Zhao must be not light, but she didn't expect the Nala family to spend so much money.
In order to vacate this concubine position for Concubine Ning, Concubine Cui and Concubine Zhao are still real.
Afterwards, Yao Jiaxin heard that Concubine Zhao also gave gifts to the third concubine and several Fujin of the elder brother's institute, but it was far from being such a generous gift to her, only the local specialty Yulu tea and Xuan'en ham, and some high-quality silk embroidery in Hubei, which is also very handy.
Yao Jiaxin said quietly: "Concubine Zhao is also a lot more exquisite now. "ββIf you change the former Zhao Concubine, where is you willing to please everywhere like this, and even the juniors give gifts.
Nong Yun quipped: "If you don't sell it everywhere now, do you have to wait until the concubine snatches the concubine position?" β
Yao Jiaxin smiled, in fact, Concubine Zhao doesn't need to do anything, and His Majesty the Fourth Master will not make Concubine Pure a concubine.
Yao Jiaxin ordered a dish of Wuchang fish for dinner that night, this Wuchang fish is still very fresh, so it is the most suitable for steaming, and the skilled chef is paired with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and seasoned with chicken broth, the taste after steaming out is called a smooth and tender and delicious!
Yao Jiaxin feasted and ate very happily.
When His Majesty the Fourth Master came in the evening, he couldn't help frowning and asked in a deep voice, "Eating fish again?" β
Yao Jiaxin was speechless, His Majesty's nose was still as sensitive as ever, so he had to quickly rinse his mouth and use enough tooth powder to get rid of the fishy smell. In fact, when she ate Wuchang fish, she couldn't even eat the slightest fishy smell, but after eating it, there would still be a slight smell in her mouth.
Yin Zhen smelled the orchid incense spit out of Yao Jiaxin's mouth, and then nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that Concubine Zhao gave gifts to the harem with great fanfare. β
Yao Jiaxin smiled: "It's not sent by the harem, at least there is not even a fish bone in the concubine." β
Yinzhen: ......
Yao Jiaxin said again: "It's just that Concubine Zhao gave me those souvenirs, that set of gold is really valuable, and I am thinking about whether to return it." "βAlthough in her status as queen, these gold objects are not very luxurious. But Concubine Zhao's gift is too precious, and it is obviously the concubine position. But it's really hard for her to pack tickets for the concubine.
Yin Zhen said lightly: "It's just a few pieces of gold, it's nothing." β
Yao Jiaxin shrugged her shoulders, "For the vacated concubine, it is strange that Concubine Cui and Concubine Zhao are so busy. "-So Your Majesty, Fourth Master, you don't care whether you are a concubine or not, hurry up and express your position.
Yin Zhen took a deep breath, "Concubine Zhao's father and brother have been officials for many years, and their performance appraisals are superior, so I'm afraid I'm going to be promoted to the first class this time." β
Yao Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, "What does the fourth master mean...... "Plan to promote Concubine Zhao to the seal as well?"
Yin Zhen glanced at her: "Concubine Zhao has no children after all, if Tian'er doesn't like it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't seal it." β
Yao Jiaxin shrugged and said, "I don't hate her. β
Yin Zhen snorted, "Then Jin Na La's concubine will be Concubine Zhao, and it will save the concubine from always having extravagant hopes." β
Ouch, the concubine was busy and building momentum, but as a result, the father and brother of the concubine were angry and generous, but the result was still cheaper...... Ah no, it's Concubine Zhao in the future.
