Chapter 323: Exchanges of Gifts (Part 1)
Feng Luan's car stopped when it arrived at the Ganlu Palace, and Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Chuchu did not leave without being instructed, and followed them until they reached the Ganlu Palace.
Seeing that the palace maids carefully carried the rattan sedan chair and sent the queen back to the Ganlu Palace, Xu Siyan came over and invited Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Chuchu to the side hall to rest.
"The two county lords, the mother is not in good spirits, and she really can't bother to deal with the things in the palace, and the ministers don't dare to be specialized, so I still want to invite the two of you to come to the Ganlu Hall to help in the past two days."
said that it was an invitation, but thinking that it was the meaning of the queen of heaven, Gu Mingzhu and Zhou Chuchu couldn't refuse, so they naturally responded obediently.
After returning to the Qianqiu Palace, Princess Anping pulled Gu Mingzhu and said anxiously: "Mingzhu, my aunt and her, how is she?" ”
In the past, there was only worry and fear on the delicate little face.
Gu Mingzhu sighed and hugged Princess Anping: "Your Highness, don't worry, Niangniang is just tired of driving and horses, and her body is not good, just raise it for a while." ”
She didn't say anything she saw and heard in Fengluan's car, after all, Princess Anping was simple by nature, if she really knew, she was afraid that not only would she not be able to help the queen share her worries, but she would cause trouble.
Princess Anping said with a disappointed look on her face: "Don't you even know? Could it be that A-Niang is really very sick? ”
Looking at Princess Anping's sad appearance, Zhou Chuchu on the side was rarely happy in her heart, she covered the curvature of the corner of her mouth, and bent her knees: "I'll go back to Jinxiu Hall first, Your Highness will rest for a long time." ”
It was rare not to care about Princess Anping's closeness to Gu Mingzhu, and she didn't compete with her, so she simply left.
Gu Mingzhu glanced at Zhou Chuchu, who was walking away, her eyes were slightly cold, what would the queen of heaven say to her.
After returning to the Splendid Hall, Zhou Chuchu's face was also gloomy, she changed her dress with Peilan's hand, and sat on the couch before asking, "What is there any movement when I am not there?" ”
Pei Lan opened the incense burner, put a few incense towers into it, and then said softly: "Concubine De Niangniang sent someone to send two pieces of fur material, saying that they were obtained some time ago, and they were not good, so they were sent to the county lord to make two hand nests, and they can be used when it is cold later." ”
Ordinary fur material? Zhou Chuchu was stunned, why did Concubine De think of sending this here?
Suddenly, she remembered the fur material she saw in Concubine De's palace some time ago, and she took a look at it at that time, and deliberately flattered Concubine De and said, after a while, let the eldest princess's mansion buy high-quality sable and white fox fur materials from the north and send them to the palace, and they will definitely be sent to Concubine De's palace to pay a good respect.
She remembered that Concubine De smiled and said that she used mink red fox fur in the past, and she rarely had those, if she could really get it, she would thank Zhou Chuchu well.
Concubine De, this is ......
Zhou Chuchu suddenly understood, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the two ordinary pieces of gray fox fur, as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.
"What's going on in Daming Palace?" She couldn't take her eyes off the two pieces of material, but she opened her mouth to ask Peilan.
Pei Lan stepped closer: "The word came out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the palace, but some time ago, he had people drive out all the medical officers who were waiting there, and rushed back to the Taiji Palace with a cane punishment." ”
"These days, I don't even want to enter the decoction, and my temper is even worse, and I dispose of the palace people at every turn, and no one wants to come forward to serve." Pei Lan said softly, "Even Zhao Liangdi was beaten a few times, and she was not allowed to go in to serve." ”
That's true, Zhou Chuchu's eyes are cold, the prince's leg really can't be saved, so the prince's position may not be kept.
After all, there have been no broken legs and incomplete people in all dynasties who have ascended to the throne and reigned over the world.
Her mind turned quickly, looking at the pair of white jade chuan that the queen of heaven had asked Xu Siyan to reward her, and then looked at the two pieces of fur material, and finally gritted her teeth and instructed Pei Lan: "Go to my cage and take out those two pieces of white fox material and send them to Yanjia Palace." ”
Pei Lan was stunned: "But isn't that to make a robe with the county lord?" ”
Zhou Chuchu is bent on overpowering Gu Mingzhu in terms of dress, and these days have made the Yuancheng Eldest Princess's Mansion send a lot of luxurious clothes.
Zhou Chuchu waved his hand: "It's just two pieces of wool, what is it." ”
She'd have traded it for more, much more expensive than that.
Pei Lan didn't understand the reason, so she could only bend her knees and go down to order someone to fetch it, but she was called by Zhou Chuchu: "Let someone find another one of the dogwood purses sent by Fengqi Pavilion before and send them over." ”
Pei Lan was even more confused: "The purse, isn't it already rewarded to Zhu Hibiscus and them, what is the county master doing?" ”
Zhou Chuchu was impatient to talk to her more, but just dropped two pieces of fur material: "If you want to go, you can go, don't ask more." ”
Perrin had to retreat in wonder, and went to have the fur and the dogwood purse come to him.
Looking at the two pieces of snow-white and flawless white fox material in front of him, the dogwood purse on it had been a little long, and it had faded to the original bright color, which was really incompatible with the fur material, Zhou Chuchu showed a grim smile on his face.
She said to Pei Lan: "You sent these two pieces of fur to Yanjia Hall and dedicated them to Concubine De Niangniang, saying that it was my reward for Xie Niangniang, and I specially returned the gift." ”
"Remember, you have to go with two pieces of fur and fur, and you must not hide them, and you must teach everyone to see what I am giving."
Pei Lan nodded, and then pointed to the inconspicuous dogwood purse: "It's just that this should be good, should it be sent over like this?" ”
Zhou Chuchu smiled: "Replace your purse, and then take it over there and give it to the mother." ”
Pei Lan really didn't understand why she wanted to give such an old purse and Concubine De, but she knew Zhou Chuchu's temper, so she didn't dare to ask more, so she bent her knees and agreed.
She untied her purse, replaced it with the old dogwood sachet, and carried the two pieces of fur material on a lacquered wooden plate out of the Splendid Hall without any cover, and went to the Yanjia Palace.
Zhou Chuchu looked at Pei Lan, who had walked away, and laughed coldly, Concubine De is the smartest, she should know what she means, then it will be interesting next.
It didn't take long for Pei Lan to come back, and he curtsied his knees and said to Zhou Chuchu: "Niang Niang asked the maid to thank the county lord, saying that she had never seen such a good fur material, and in a few days, she would let someone make a white fox scarf, and she would be able to get on her body during the New Year's Festival." ”
Zhou Chuchu asked tightly: "Niangniang did you accept that sachet?" ”
Pei Lan said: "At first, the mother was a little strange, but then I heard the maid say that she was specially looking for it and sent it over, so she let people catch it." I also want to reply to the county lord, this time it has passed Chongyang, and the dogwood sachet is no longer needed, I'm afraid it's time to change the warm incense purse. ”
Zhou Chuchu's face was overjoyed and he smiled with satisfaction.
