Chapter 421, the gift of the concubine
The next day, Yao Jiaxin, the concubine of Tian, angrily ordered a braised hoof and bit it fiercely, showing fierceness.
It's a pity that this hoof is also boneless, and it is not enough to eat it.
As soon as he rinsed his mouth, Wang Yicheng suddenly came in and reported: "Yunyi Palace's concubine asks to see him." β
"Huh?" Yao Jiaxin blinked in confusion, and the little rice cake begged to be seen?? Ball of yarn meaning??
Su Yu said in a low voice: "If the mother doesn't want to see it, she won't see it." β
Wang Yicheng hurriedly added: "It seems that Concubine Dun is here to give gifts. β
Yao Jiaxin was even more puzzling, the little rice cake gave her a gift?? Obviously, the little rice cake has been settling with the queen? Although he didn't stammer.
"Let her in." Yao Jiaxin said lightly, she wants to see what the little rice cake wants to do.
After a while, I saw that Nian's was wearing a brand-new peach-pink magnolia flower twig makeup satin gown, and the gown had excellent snow fox hair, which lined Nian's small face as white and tender as snow.
Nian, who was wearing a fur coat, still had a slender waist, and walked gracefully and swaying, like a willow supporting the wind.
Nian walked in with a slightly draped face, Ying Ying bent her knees, "Concubine Nian, see Guifei Niangniang." β
Yao Jiaxin saw that Nian's appearance was obedient today, and the etiquette was quite respectful, so she said, "Get up." β
"Xie Niangniang." Nian's voice was delicate and soft.
I saw a gentle smile floating on Nian's charming face, "The concubine has been sick before, and she has never congratulated the concubine on her pregnancy, so I came to send a congratulatory gift today." β
I'm really here to give a gift! Yao Jiaxin muttered secretly.
I saw that the entourage eunuch behind Nian respectfully presented the two moire brocade boxes, and Su Yu glanced at the jade dew beside him. Gyokuro immediately stepped forward and took the brocade box.
Yao Jiaxin glanced at the brocade box suspiciously, and said lightly: "Concubine Dun has a heart." β
Nian's smile was gentle: "It's good that the concubine doesn't blame." These are a little gadgets sent to the palace by the concubine's mother's family, which are not valuable, and please don't dislike the concubine. β
Yao Jiaxin glanced at Nian's, yo, isn't this quite good at talking and being a good person? How before...... So underwhelming?
Oh, by the way, Nian has already been beaten.
"Are you still used to living in Yunyi Palace?" Yao Jiaxin asked casually.
Nian smiled and said, "The Yunyi Hall is spacious and gorgeous, and the people in the side hall are often very kind to Su. Thank you for pointing out such a good temple to the concubine. Nian thought to herself, after all, she hadn't done the canonization ceremony yet, and if the concubine had to detain her under Concubine Ning and suffer hardship, she would have nothing to do. Although the concubine may not have good intentions, it is a good thing to be able to leave the Qinglan Palace.
Yao Jiaxin laughed in her heart, often promising to be kind to Su? Obviously, Yun Chang was very jealous before, and he was squeezed everywhere, and finally Yun Chang was looking for Concubine Yu's high branches, and this time he was promoted to a nobleman, and his life was better.
However, one often agrees, so naturally he doesn't have the courage to be unkind to his concubine.
It seems that the little rice cake is very satisfied with the Yunyi Palace.
"That's good." Yao Jiaxin said lightly.
Nian Shi said cautiously: "If the concubine has no other instructions, the concubine will not disturb you to raise the baby." "Nian's finally mustered up the courage to come to Bitong Academy, and he kept carrying the strings.
Yao Jiaxin was not interested in caring deeply about Nian's, so she waved her hand and said, "You can step down." β
Nian Shi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully, and retreated.
Su Yu hurriedly motioned for Yulu to send Concubine Dun out of the hall, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, this concubine has learned a lot from Concubine Ning's mother, and it seems that she has learned a lot, at least she doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of you." β
Yao Jiaxin smiled.
Su Yu looked vigilant again: "However, you still have to guard against it." Concubine Dun is also very stammering with the queen. β
Nong Yun had already stepped forward to open the two brocade boxes, and reported: "Niangniang, it's Snow Swallow and Snow Clam Cream." β
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly glanced at it, the brocade box was a clean white porcelain jar, and the jar was a tonic as white as snow.
Snow clam paste is the fat near the fallopian tube of the female frog of the Northeast forest frog, also known as husky membrane oil, which is a very rare tonic, and this year General Jilin only paid tribute to twenty boxes of snow clam paste, even if Yao Jiaxin was a concubine, he only got three cans. This thing is not dry or hot, and it is an excellent tonic.
The snow swallow is a species of wood pith secretion of a tree in the tropics, which is only produced in Yunnan and Southeast Asia, and the yield is scarce. Because after foaming, it is very similar to bird's nest, so it is called "Snow Swallow".
Combined, the value of these two things is really not inferior to the eight taels of Korean ginseng that Nian gave to the queen.
Mama You was carefully inspecting, and only after a while did she say, "Niangniang, these two things are fine, they are both first-class good things." It's not inferior to the tribute. β
"It's really generous." Yao Jiaxin said quietly.
Su Yu pursed her lips, "Concubine Dun is currying favor on both sides, is it possible that she wants to meet the source left and right?" β
Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "Maybe." Although this idea is a bit naΓ―ve, Nian at least understands that she, the concubine, cannot be offended, which is already a rare progress. She didn't bother to care whether Nian was really tame or not, she just made trouble.
Su Yu snorted unhappily: "She wants to be beautiful!" β
Yao Jiaxin laughed "poof", and the former Nian thought more beautifully.
Su Yu said in a low voice: "Actually, there is no need for Niangniang to give her an old face." β
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "The palace has a comfortable life, so naturally I am not interested in finding fault with the old face." What's more, the Nian family came to the palace to give gifts, if the queen heard about it, she would definitely be angry. β
The queen was angry, and she felt more comfortable.
Yao Jiaxin guessed well, although the queen's dark lines in the garden have been pulled out, but the concubine's gift is an act on the surface, and it is difficult for the queen to know it.
The queen who learned the news slammed the medicine bowl in her hand to the ground, "What does this slut mean?!" β
Lan Pei, the newly promoted first-class palace maid, hurriedly picked up the nice words and said: "The master is angry, and the concubine is just afraid of the power of the concubine." She just went to congratulate each other as usual, and what she gave was just some ordinary tonics. β
The queen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no one under the hands of this palaceβ"
Speaking of this, the queen suddenly remembered that Xi Chang was still grounded, and hurriedly asked, "How is Xi Chang doing now?" β
Lan Pei hurriedly replied: "Xi Chang has been confined in Yunjin Villa for more than a year and a half. The concubine cherishes feathers, but she has never treated Xi Chang badly in terms of eating, wearing, and chewing. It's just that the tribute at four o'clock a year is not always there. β
There was a hint of darkness in the queen's eyes, "I'm afraid the fourth princess can't remember what her own mother looks like, right?" β
Lan Pei hurriedly said: "The fourth princess only needs to remember the grace of your raising, why remember that Xi is always there." β
The queen said quietly: "It's good to have a life, after all, it is ...... for their mother and daughter to meet."
Lan Pei's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Master, Niangniang, is this going to intercede for Xi Chang?" β
The queen's face darkened, even if the palace wanted to intercede, but since she came to the garden, the emperor has only been to the Kaiyun Palace once, and the palace has no chance to intercede!
"You asked someone to pick out some good skins and send them to Yunjin Villa, just say that they are for Xi Chang to sew winter clothes." The queen commanded.
Lampey breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the minion is going!" β
