Chapter 117: The Queen Mother's Guidance (3/4)
Mama Rui held a brocade box with gold moire in both hands and held it to the side of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled and opened the box, which was a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with southern pearls, the pearls were huge and bright, round and flawless, with a big thumb belly, and the bracelet body was surrounded by a string of dotted green melons, and the end and end were the big pearls.
The so-called melon is full of big melons and small melons on a vine, which is the beauty of the prosperity of the descendants.
The Queen Mother looked a little melancholy, "This pair of golden loofah bracelets is a gift from the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang when the mourning family was a concubine." The Queen Mother paused slightly, looked at Concubine Zhen, and said, "Today, the mourning family will reward you." β
Yao Jiaxin knelt down in fear, "This pair of bracelets is too valuable, and the concubines dare not accept them!" "Damn, this pair of bracelets is not only worth a lot of money, but it is even bigger and scary!
The queen's expression also changed instantly, and the queen mother saw Yao Jia's for the first time, so she was so generous! Melon and melon? Isn't this just looking forward to Yao Jia's pregnancy as soon as possible?! The queen's face was faintly blue.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "There is no reason to take back the things that the mourning family took out." β
Although the Queen Mother's face is gentle, her tone is full of non-vetoable meaning.
Yao Jiaxin didn't dare to shirk anymore, if the queen and the queen mother had to offend one, of course she would choose the queen! So he hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." β
She took the box with both hands.
The Queen Mother bowed slightly, and sighed: "The emperor is thirty-three years old, but there are only two elder brothers and a princess under his knees, and it is not yet known whether the children in the wombs of the Geng family and the Niu Hulu family are male or female. Even if they are all elder brothers, the emperor's heirs are still too thin after all. β
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but be surprised, what the Queen Mother meant by saying this was that she hoped that she would have children? The Queen Mother told her these things in front of the queen...... I'm afraid it's not right?
She thought about it, with the current status of the queen mother, where does she need to care if the queen is happy?
Yao Jiaxin said with a frightened face: "The concubine is nearly thirty years old, but I am afraid that she will live up to the queen mother's reward for this pair of bracelets." β
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, "The mourning family is also at your age, and you gave birth to the old fourteen." β
Yao Jiaxin was even more humble: "The Queen Mother is deeply blessed, where can a concubine be compared?" "ββPicking up the blessing of birth and nourishment, the Queen Mother Wu Yashi is one of the best even in the Kangxi Dynasty, which she really can't compare.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Zhen's increasingly humble appearance, and bowed her head slightly, "You are very gentle and humble, you have nothing to do in the future, you might as well come to Cining Palace to talk to the mourning family." β
Yao Jiaxin curtled her knees and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your love." β
At this time, the queen who was sitting on the side finally spoke with a smile: "The emperor's sister is such a blue-eyed concubine, which is really the envy of the concubines." β
Sister Yao? was called so affectionately by the queen, Yao Jiaxin had goosebumps all over her body!
The Queen Mother stroked her sideburns mixed with silver threads, glanced sideways at the queen, and said lightly: "The queen said this as if she was jealous." β
The queen smiled: "As a daughter-in-law, the concubine has always admired you the most, and naturally she also hopes that the emperor will prefer the concubine." - The queen's words are like a younger generation being coquettish.
The Queen Mother's eyelids raised, "Don't worry, you are the queen, no one can go past you." β
"You're right." The queen's smile is like a spring flower, but her heart is as cold as winter - she can't allow anyone in the harem to cross her half a point!
Yao Jiaxin saw it in her eyes and said secretly, she said that the queen was the most filial to the queen mother, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious. Now it seems that this is not the case! The Queen Mother is a generous reward and expectation, it can be said that she pokes the queen's heart everywhere, the queen is so angry, but she can only use words to suggest that the queen mother should not do too much, but the queen mother is not soft or hard to push back.
I saw the Queen Mother rubbing her temples, "The mourning family is lacking today, you all retreat." β
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly smiled and said, "Then the concubine should serve the emperor and rest in peace." β
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "No need, the queen is also strange and hard today, go back and rest." - Tete came out in court clothes, and the mourners felt hard to look at.
was rejected by the queen mother, and the queen's face was a little unbearable, but she didn't dare to attack, so she joked with a smile: "The emperor's mother has a satisfactory newcomer like Concubine Yao's sister, so she doesn't like the old concubine." β
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at the queen: "What matters whether the mourning family is satisfied or not, what matters is whether the emperor is satisfied." "ββThere was a big drama in Qixiang Palace before, and Concubine Zhen was not only intact, but her grace was thriving. Although the queen said that she had taken off cleanly, the emperor had not been to Jingren Palace for half a month. If the queen does not satisfy the emperor everywhere like this, there will be no good fruit to eat sooner or later!
The queen's face was stiff, the emperor hadn't been to Jingren Palace to see her for a long time, which was what she was most embarrassed and most uneasy about.
"The mourning family is all here, how much the queen can comprehend, it depends on your own creation." The Queen Mother said lightly, immediately shut up, and said no more.
The queen bowed her head and bent her knees: "Thank you for your advice." β
Yao Jiaxin was secretly stunned, the Queen Mother's words ...... Although it was mocking, it was indeed pointing at the queen...... It seems that the relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really complicated.
Exiting the main hall of Cining Palace, the bright sunlight sprinkled on the face, warm.
However, the queen's gaze swept coldly.
Yao Jiaxin lowered her eyebrows and bowed her knees: "The concubine sends the queen mother." β
The queen's tone was extremely gloomy: "Concubine Yao is well-behaved and intelligent, not only pleasing the emperor, but also pleasing the queen mother." This ability is really envied by the six palaces. β
Yao Jiaxin's belly: It's envy of you, right?
Yao Jiaxin smiled slightly: "The most popular thing for the Queen Mother, isn't it always the queen mother." "As an ancient mother-in-law, not to make trouble for her daughter-in-law, but to mention it, is already a rare good mother-in-law, what do you still want? With the grace of His Majesty the Fourth Master, the queen wants to be sour, and the queen has a little blue eyes, and the queen is still sour!
It's just falling into the vinegar vat.
The corners of the queen's mouth hooked up with a sneer, "Concubine Yao, let's do it for yourself in the future!" β
Leaving this sentence, the queen brushed her sleeves away.
Yao Jiaxin: Hehe, it's good for you briquettes.
Back in Yongshou Palace, Yao Jiaxin's stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and today's toss was really tiring her small body. So she hurriedly instructed the palace maid to wait for her to take off this cumbersome and heavy court dress, put on a refreshing and simple flag dress, combed a small two handfuls of hair, and it was not yet time to pass on the food, so she ordered milk tea and snacks.
The sweet and delicious milk tea, with enough honey red beans added to it, is sucked into the mouth, it is really soft and sweet, and the milky fragrance is overflowing.
The dim sum is osmanthus cake - made with golden cinnamon from this autumn's first crop, and it is fragrant, sweet, and melts in your mouth.
She was eating a snack, and Wang Yicheng bowed in to report: "Niangniang, a few little palace maids...... The little eunuch Tang Yin exposed and reported Xiuyan, and the slave checked it, it was indeed the palace maid named Xiuyan, who took advantage of the night to secretly pick the phoenix petals and handed them to the fragrance of Yongshou Palace. β
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but feel a little sad, Xiuyan ...... The names of these little palace maids below were all specially rewarded by her, but I didn't expect ...... There was a traitor - no, maybe it was a nail in the first place. But because it's just an inconspicuous line, it's hidden to this day.
"Send it to the Department of Punishment, just say that the matter is not good, there is a mistake, and call it back to the Internal Affairs Office." Yao Jiaxin said lightly.
Su Yu couldn't help but say: "This is too cheap, this dog minion!" The little master should take advantage of this opportunity to be a good person. β
Yao Jiaxin smiled, she glanced at Su Yu deeply: "Do you think that if I let her go, she will be able to live?" Eunuch Liu, the head of Qixiang Palace, died of a wound attack a few days ago, this Xiuyan, once she entered the Shen Criminal Division, someone would immediately ask for her life.
