Chapter 653: Fundraising
Seeing that the queen was interested, Mama Zhou was a little relieved.
Helping the queen to walk forward.
This banquet was presided over by Concubine Li, but it was the queen who was the host.
This is the majesty of the mother's world.
Looking at Concubine Li Guifei's proud appearance, the queen smiled coldly in her heart.
She thought she could master this phoenix seal forever, and this was her last time.
It won't be long before she takes back the phoenix seal and sees how arrogant she is.
The queen sat down and glanced at Mama Zhou.
Mama Zhou nodded.
It was a tacit understanding that their master and servant had cultivated over the years.
The queen took a sip of tea, and a lively look flashed in her eyes.
Walking around the garden, although there are ice cubes, it is not so hot, but the sun is still a little irritable.
After sitting down, a palm of chilled white fungus lotus seed soup was put into his stomach, and no matter how irritable he was, his mood calmed down.
Li Guifei said with a smile, "It was long overdue to entertain your ladies, but it has been delayed again and again, and now, the ministers are loyal to the imperial court and donate silver taels for disaster relief, and their generosity is admirable." ”
"This palace toasts you."
Concubine Li drank fruit wine, and so did Su Jin.
Fragrant fruit wine, not intoxicating to drink, but fragrant and mellow, with endless aftertaste.
It's just that the ministers who donated it, why did Concubine Li invite their wives into the palace?
Su Jin was a little confused.
She estimated that Concubine Li was just looking for a reason to hold a banquet, and this reason was okay.
Su Jin didn't know that Concubine Li originally planned to invite your ladies into the palace and let them donate, but she didn't expect that she would be taken first by Dongxiang Hou Jiezu before she could prepare for it.
He donated 20,000 taels and forced Chongguo Gong to donate 20,000 taels, and those ministers followed suit and snatched Li Guifei of an opportunity to invite merit, and they didn't dare to complain.
It's not good to go against Dongxiang Hou, not to mention that she also took advantage of other people's daughters to pick up the phoenix seal.
Originally, this banquet was not going to be held, but a few days ago, the old matter of the concubine was brought up again, and Li Guifei also felt that she should show off.
Let these noble ladies know that the queen is out of favor, she is favored, and then go back to blow the wind on the pillow, which will be of great benefit to her and the three princes, and this is why this banquet will be born.
The queen didn't say anything, but when everyone looked at Concubine Li, their eyes always glanced over her face.
After all, Concubine Li Guifei is stealing her limelight.
But the queen really wasn't angry.
Not angry at all.
"These days, Concubine Li Guifei has helped the palace to take care of the harem, the palace is really worry-free, this banquet is held in an orderly manner, and the palace is not as good as it," the queen praised.
"The lady is modest," said the noble lady.
Li Guifei praised Su Jin, "If you want to say that the harem is worry-free, thanks to the princess of Zhenbei Wang, the emperor is busy with government affairs, rarely enters the harem, and there are many concubines, with mahjong, the concubines get along much better." ”
No one will refute this.
After having mahjong, not only the concubines got along well, but they also got closer to each other.
It's okay to make an appointment to play mahjong together, take a bubble bath in the Beauty Pavilion, pinch your shoulders and beat your back, and then put on a mask, don't be too comfortable.
Everyone, you say a word, I praise Su Jin, Su Jin feels that he can float.
However, at this time, a palace maid came to a noble lady and muttered a few words.
The noble lady was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Guifei, and nodded her head.
Not long after the palace maid left, the noble lady spoke, "We are sitting here drinking tea and chatting, thinking that those people are still starving in the sun, I really can't bear it, and I can't help them, so I can only do my best." ”
At this time, a maid came over with a tray and was about to change tea for her.
The noble lady took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and the golden hairpin on her head and put them on the tray.
Obviously, these were donated by her.
Li Guifei's brows tightened.
Brother and sister-in-law, what is this doing?
Before she could react, the queen smiled, "I still wonder why the concubine suddenly held a banquet, it turned out to be to raise funds for the drought." ”
"My sister has a heart, and I can't help but support my sister."
As he spoke, he took off a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets on his wrists.
Mama Zhou took it and sent it to the tray held by the palace maid.
Li Guifei's face changed greatly.
The queen took off the jade bracelet, can the other noble ladies not do it?
It's just that the mood of picking up jewelry is really not good.
This time, in order to enter the palace, I wore my favorite jewelry, so I donated it, where can I give it.
didn't say anything on his lips, but he was already complaining about Concubine Li in his heart.
If you don't have such wool, you don't count it once, you have to do it again!
Although no one complained, the sky above the main hall was full of resentment.
Su Jin doesn't care about donations, it's just that Concubine Li Guifei is too stupid, is it worth offending so many noble ladies in order to please the emperor?
The palace maid took the tray and collected the jewelry one by one, and soon the tray was full.
Those noble ladies used to have golden hairpins and hostas in their buns, but now they are almost clean.
The county lord of Fuyun took off the headdress, and she was willing to give up the other headdresses, but she was reluctant to donate the hosta that Su Chong gave her.
She touched her bun several times, but skipped it all over.
Seeing her reluctance, the maid coral came to help, taking the opportunity to put the hosta in her sleeve.
Su Jin took off the headdress with the help of Xing'er, including the earrings.
After taking off the jewelry, my neck is a lot easier.
Not far away, the girl from Uncle Wenyuan's Mansion stared at Su Jin, and the qi poured up from her limbs to her face.
It was not a coincidence that Wen Yuanbofu came back, and the day he returned to Beijing happened to be the day when the palace notified the mansions to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.
The palace didn't know that Wen Yuanbo had returned to Beijing, so naturally he didn't invite her.
In order to fight for this opportunity to enter the palace, she deliberately went to the Chongguo Mansion yesterday and gave the set of headdresses she picked up in the Golden Jade Pavilion to Shangguan Feng'er, the eldest girl of the Chongguo Mansion.
Shangguan Feng'er helped get a post for her.
Outcome!
This banquet is for fundraising.
She's wearing her favorite headdress!
And the princess of Zhenbei Wang, the one who made her a laughing stock, wore a headdress that was taken from her.
It's not bought with money, and it's not distressing to donate it at all, and that faint smile can't wait for someone to rush over and scratch her to death.
When she returned to Beijing this time, she didn't do anything, and she lost almost 10,000 taels.
The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all burning.
To say that the most painful and angry is Li Guifei.
She was still confused until now.
She didn't let her mother's brother and sister-in-law take the lead in donating, what is she messing with?!
Don't you think she's not hated enough?!
I'm really going to her off to death!
The queen looked at Concubine Li and said, "My sister set up a banquet to invite everyone to come to raise donations, and I should say it in advance, everyone is a generous person, and they will not donate. ”
Li Guifei couldn't speak.
I nested a belly of evil fire, and I didn't know who to send it to.
She looked at the queen, tried her best to suppress her anger, and said from between her teeth, "Why did my sister say that?" ”
The queen didn't answer, only glanced at Apricot.
Her glance drew everyone's eyes.
The golden hairpin on the apricot head is particularly eye-catching.
This golden hairpin was Su Jin's birthday gift to Xing'er in the morning.
But everyone won't think so, just when Su Jin is reluctant to put the golden hairpin on the maid's head, so as to avoid donation.
Su Jin was speechless, as if as long as she was there, the fire would always burn on her in an inexplicable way.
She's really a bully!
Su Jin was not in a hurry, and his eyes were withdrawn from the golden hairpin on Xing'er's head to look at the queen, "Today is my maid's birthday, and this golden hairpin is my birthday gift to her in the morning, is there anything wrong?" ”
