Chapter 240: Pampering the Nest Fire
"The mourning family has a collection of two pieces of pottery you made, and the mourning family is very happy, often thinking about how exquisite and clear the person who can make such a fresh thing, and when I see it today, it really makes the mourning family happy. Don't get off the boat today, there is everything on this boat, stay and accompany the mourners! It just so happens that the mourning family also lacks a guide, so you just happened to tell me about the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River. ”
The Queen Mother, like in her previous life, left her for the first time she saw Cheng Ziyu.
But even if the emperor didn't show his disgust for her, he only didn't receive hints from the queen mother again and again, and he didn't say how to reward Cheng Ziyu until he left.
Cheng Ziyu didn't mind this, but the Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied.
In order to give Cheng Ziyu a long face and express her emotions to Emperor Chong, the Queen Mother ordered the palace maid to make room for Cheng Ziyu outside the suite where she lived.
Then, there is a public reward.
The queen is not good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, so in order to make the queen mother happy, she also gave Cheng Ziyu a complete set of heads.
By the time it was time for dinner, the whole fleet had heard about it.
Everyone could see the Queen Mother's joy for Cheng Ziyu, and for a while, many people began to make small calculations. For example, the likes of Concubine Zhao.
The Queen Mother set an example, how could they turn a blind eye.
So when everyone gathered around for dinner, several high-grade concubines and noblewomen donated generously, each gave some good things to Cheng Ziyu's hands, and circled around her, some asked her age, some asked about the situation at home, and it was not lively for a while.
And Concubine Zhao can see the small abacus of those people almost at a glance. Cheng Ziyu was favored and wealthy, and the emperor almost pointed her to marry, even if she was not happy to please the queen mother, it was definitely not a bad thing for such a person to make friends first. What if this girl really has the life to fly on the branches?
When she saw Concubine Li, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, put the close-fitting bracelet on her wrist on Cheng Ziyu's wrist, Concubine Zhao seemed to see someone robbing her of silver, and she couldn't sit still anymore.
Cheng Ziyu is hers! It's her son's! No one wants to snatch these sluts!
Concubine Zhao stepped forward for the first time and pulled Cheng Ziyu to look left and right, praising again and again, she clapped her hands and said that such a good girl deserves good things, and ordered Cheng Ziyu to be rewarded with a red gold collar.
Cheng Ziyu's eyes were about to breathe fire when she saw Wen Lan. She understood in a flash. Yes, Concubine Zhao and Zhu Si's financial resources are there, and the only possible way for the tight-knit mother and son to get their money is Wenlan...... His gold and silver were given to his "rival in love", which is not only aggrieved, but also has a feeling of deep betrayal, right? ……
And the truth made Wen Lan angry more than Cheng Ziyu guessed.
After Wen Lan knew that Zhu Chang'an was short of money, she did fund Concubine Zhao in disguise. And Concubine Zhao thought that the holy decree of marriage was coming soon, so she made this collar early as a meeting gift for Wen Lan, the prospective daughter-in-law.
On this trip to the south, she was afraid that the emperor would give a holy decree to marry as soon as he was happy, and she did not have as much money as other concubines, so in order to be prepared, she took this circle with her.
And Wen Lan ran to Concubine Zhao's palace every day, and made a generous move, and several grandmothers in Concubine Zhao's palace got her silver, and they had already given her this circle. In the bottom of her heart, Vinlan had long regarded herself as the owner of this collar.
So at this moment, Wen Lan saw that the collar was handed to the "rival in love", and just wanted to step forward and bite Cheng Ziyu to death. The more enthusiastic Concubine Zhao became, the more uneasy she felt in her heart expanded, and she was even more convinced that Cheng Ziyu had an ulterior relationship with Zhu Changan. And if Cheng Ziyu dares to snatch her collar, she will naturally continue to rob her......
Cheng Ziyu forcibly hid her disgust for Concubine Zhao, but did not reach out to take it, but looked at Wen Lan cautiously, and then trembled and retracted her eyes.
For a while, many people followed her line of sight and took the appearance of Wen Lan with a black face, a pair of eyes, and gritted teeth into their eyes, and they all despised this jealous Korean princess in their hearts.
Although Concubine Zhao complained a little, she didn't like Wenlan not giving face in public. She motioned to Mama to persuade her, but Wen Lan pushed the Mama away. No one knew about this moment, but Concubine Zhao rolled her eyes and had other ideas in her heart......
The Queen Mother was already extremely displeased with Wen Lan, so she couldn't help but speak at this time.
"Since Concubine Zhao rewarded you, you are welcome. Take it! ”
Cheng Ziyu took the collar and bowed back, so that Wen Lan was so angry that she threw the handkerchief and sat aside......
The dinner has not yet started, and Cheng Ziyu has already made a lot of money. Knowing that she was staying overnight, Liu Er was also picked up on the boat with her suits......
From afar, she also saw Li Chun.
Tomorrow the royal people will go ashore, and he has been busy all day. I'm coming back now. As soon as he saw Li Chun, the emperor ordered his servants to add a chair next to his throne, and the princes couldn't envy that kind of favor.
From time to time, Li Chun would drift his gaze to Cheng Ziyu, take a deep look and then move away......
The dinner was sent from the shore, mainly Huaiyang cuisine, many things that the Queen Mother and others had never seen, and Cheng Ziyu did not let it be explained. In her previous life, she had been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she knew how to speak to make the Queen Mother happy, and after only a few words, the Queen Mother transferred her to sit beside her.
She excused herself, and then took the initiative to prepare dishes for the Queen Mother.
She is well versed in the preferences of the Queen Mother, and her hands and feet are neat, and she has gained more and more appreciation and joy from the Queen Mother.
"Auspicious, learn to order, your cloth dishes are not as good as Miss Cheng!" Seeing that Cheng Ziyu could even pick fish bones quickly and carefully, it was obvious that she was a filial piety in the past, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but speak again. "You will stay with the mourning family for the next few days! It is rare for the mourning family to see the young girl they like. ”
"Yes!"
The Queen Mother's sentence even attracted the eyes of the princes at the next table, which made Cheng Ziyu the absolute focus of everyone's attention.
The Queen Mother carried out her love for Cheng Ziyu to the end, and after finishing the meal, she invited Cheng Ziyu to her residence to tell her about Jiangnan folk customs. This kind of favor not only made the concubines who had sons, but even many noble ladies and dependents who accompanied them follow suit......
That night, Zhu Changan had another dream.
When he heard that the emperor was going to give Cheng Ziyu a marriage, he had a little headache and panicked, and then hurried over, according to the usual practice, he should have been touched by something. Sure enough, the dream came as promised.
In the dream, he also heard the news of the marriage and hurried to the Queen Mother's Palace.
The Queen Mother had persuaded the emperor, and the emperor gave him a marriage to Cheng Ziyu.
At that time, he knelt there, feeling that the sky was falling apart, but the woman next to him was smiling like a flower and thanking him. He was pulled by her, and then thanked him. But at that moment, he bowed to the ground, and almost had the urge to kill her.
