338 shabby gifts

Xiang Feng said: "It is rumored that they have close contacts, and your brother has the momentum to become a colt." I don't care about the origin of your brother and sister, if your brother and Yuan Yuan are in love, it would be a good thing, but Yuan Yuan has been engaged to Shen Yun since he was a child, and the imperial grandmother has a hard time. ”

Qiu Jingrou still looked dazed and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do then?" ”

Xiang Feng instructed: "I'll ask your brother in person, it's not appropriate, it's better for you to be a sister, I want to know what your brother thinks, things shouldn't be delayed, just today." ”

Qiu Jingrou agreed, and while remembering what she said yesterday, she asked softly, "Your Highness, are you willing to let your brother do things for you?" ”

Xiang Feng smiled: "Even if your brother doesn't help me, in the eyes of outsiders, he must be my person, so why rush now." Jing Rou, the affairs of the court are very complicated, don't worry about it, you are my wife, I will naturally tell you something. ”

After saying these words, Xiang Feng took the guards to the palace, standing in front of the door and looking at her husband's strange back, Qiu Jingrou only felt empty in her heart.

In the afternoon of this day, Qiu Jingxuan was invited to the prince's mansion, the brothers and sisters met, the subordinates consciously retreated, the princess repeatedly confirmed that there was no one outside the door, and then explained the words to her brother, she asked anxiously: "How did my brother and the princess develop so fast, it spread all over the capital, and the queen mother also knew, everyone came to ask me, but I didn't know how to deal with it." ”

Qiu Jingxuan smiled coldly: "It's people's mouths that are fast, and they make up the words, Xiang Yuan does come to me from time to time, but I'm just a playmate of hers, and I don't have any children's affection at all." ”

My sister shook her head: "Brother, don't be stupid, what a playmate, the girl's mind couldn't be simpler, you just didn't pierce that layer of paper." And she is a dignified princess, who interacts with foreign ministers without scruples, and is clearly thinking about the future. ”

Qiu Jingxuan said: "It is precisely because it is not pierced, everything will be variable, the princess is not in a hurry, I can't be in a hurry, there is nothing in her life that cannot be obtained." So between me and her, if she is really emotional, and I am indifferent, she will have a sense of frustration and will cherish it more, right? I have my own measure against her, so you don't have to worry. ”

Qiu Jingrou sighed and slowly told her brother about yesterday's incident, she thought that the second prince had no ambition, and it was difficult for Concubine Shugui's wish to be fulfilled, and if anything happened in the future, their brother and sister might be pushed out to bear the guilt.

The princess said distressedly: "Brother, for the sake of your wishes, I am willing to obey Concubine Shu and marry the second prince, but brother, when will your wish be fulfilled?" ”

"Calm down, what are you anxious about, if you feel powerless, or don't want to deal with others, then be your princess with peace of mind, don't think nonsense."

Qiu Jingxuan didn't feel any anxious, he once advised his sister to stand firm on her own first, and then think about how to do it in the future. Although it was an accident this time, it was not that my sister was in a hurry to explain to the second prince, but under the conflict of interests and emotions, it was obvious that the second prince had not been able to put his wife in the most important position in his heart.

He persuaded again: "Even ordinary people's families, men don't want to be dictated by women, not to mention that he is a prince, the only thing you should do now is to let him be inseparable from you, so that one day when he has to weigh the weight, he will not hesitate to choose you." ”

"If I can support Xiang Feng to dominate the world in the future, he will naturally not abandon me, but what about my brother and princess?" Qiu Jingrou asked, "At that time, will you abandon her?" ”

Qiu Jingxuan walked to the window leisurely, standing with his hands in his hands, the courtyard of the prince's mansion is far better than the autumn house, but it is still not as good as the grand scene of the prime minister's mansion.

His gaze was so cold: "I don't abandon her, I'm afraid that she won't live by my side, this is not something I have to think about." ”

Qiu Jingrou knew that what her brother said, she would definitely do it, and she remembered another thing, walked to the cabinet, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from the locked drawer and handed it to her brother: "Brother, this is sent by Concubine Shugui, let me give it to you." “

Qiu Jingxuan frowned slightly, took his hand and counted, and his sister asked, "What do you want so much silver for?" ”

He said expressionlessly: "Buy people's hearts." ”

Over the years, the concubine has been far away from the capital, and all the expenses in the palace are provided by the capital, in addition to the use of the four seasons of the year, the concubine has lived for herself during the New Year's holidays, and the emperor and the queen mother have additional rewards.

Let's say that if the second prince wants to win the position of prince from the queen and her two sons, a strong force must be cultivated behind it, and the ministers are the rulers, and how many people really have the world in mind, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, who can bring the greatest benefits to them and the family, is the fundamental.

When sending her brother out, Qiu Jingrou asked, "The wedding banquet of the full moon of the five princes, has my brother received the will?" Now for Princess Sheng Yuan, you have become a figure on the cusp, if you go to the banquet, you must be careful. ”

Qiu Jingxuan said: "You are yourself, don't let the queen target you." ”

In fact, he did not receive the will to participate in the celebration of the full moon of the five princes, Qiu Jingxuan's official position is not high, his background is not good, he was qualified to set foot in the imperial city because it was the wedding of his sister and the second prince, and now the full moon of the five princes has nothing to do with him, and the emperor will naturally not invite a minister with a humble official position into the palace. And Xiang Ye understands better that the queen doesn't like the brother and sister, it was a good day for her and her son, how could the emperor let his beloved add to the blockage.

However, the queen has another concubine, which is a happy event celebrated by the whole world, and Song Yuan, who is far away in Xiping Mansion, has sent congratulatory gifts, not to mention the three concubines in the palace, you can't pretend not to know. They were all "abandoned" by the emperor, but over the years, the other two have been respectful to Concubine Shu, and they still respect Concubine Shu in every detail, and this time they came to inquire about sending congratulatory gifts to the prince and queen, and Mama Er Zhen sent them away before they came to return to Concubine Shu.

"They are very attentive, do you think the queen will allow them to return to the capital to retire?" Concubine Shu sneered coldly, "If I become the queen mother, I can give them this opportunity." ”

Er Zhen said: "Now the queen is in charge, only ours is not, and there is no queen, and it is not okay to be unsatisfied." ”

Concubine Shu said impatiently: "You can just look at it." ”

Er Zhen cautiously looked left and right, and then said: "Before, you sent a large sum of silver to the princess, many of which were mortgaged by slaves and maids with jewels and jade, and there is no money to redeem them at this time, and some of the things that can be given to the queen in the house are not available." ”

Concubine Shu didn't respond, and Er Zhen asked worriedly: "Niangniang, the brothers and sisters of the Qiu family, are they really reliable?" ”

"No matter what, Qiu Jingrou is already my daughter-in-law, if she is not reliable, I will naturally not let her have a good time." Concubine Shu snorted softly, "As for Qiu Jingxuan, he is not loyal to Feng'er, does he want to follow in his grandfather's footsteps?" ”

Er Zhen didn't dare to say much, and Concubine Shu said again: "The queen is so high, how can she care about a little gold, silver and jade, I'm afraid that she won't even look at our congratulatory gifts, you can just prepare some and send them away." What's more, I don't want to congratulate her at all, it's polite to be a scene. ”

"Yes, the slave will do as you command." Erzhen could only reluctantly agree.

A few days have passed, the full moon of the prince is imminent, the palace has already put up lights and preparations to celebrate, after the second prince and the princess moved out of the palace, all the affairs fell into the hands of the second princess, Xiang Qin seems to have inherited all the capable skills of his mother, and he has been able to preside over the overall situation at a young age. In contrast, the eldest princess is leisurely all day long, which seems to be a bit idle.

The day before the full moon banquet, Min'er tried on a dress in the palace, because of the thirst in pregnancy, she had to refrain from eating, and her figure was not too fat.

Under the golden phoenix robe, the Shu brocade plate gold embroidered silk skirt is solemn and luxurious, and the complete set of sapphire hairpins and hairpins on the bun are all created by the emperor and specially given to the queen for tomorrow. The youngest daughter carefully put her mother's hair in a bun, which made Min'er angry: "Your father is really old, he loves this liveliness, and he doesn't think I'm panicking when I wear it on my head." ”

Xiang Qin looked at her mother in the mirror and said enviously: "When I am with the queen mother, I don't look like a mother and daughter at all, like a sister." If I have half of my mother, I will be content. ”

Min'er gently pinched her daughter's face: "My mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, but I look like your father." ”

At this time, Qingya came in with the palace maids, and the little palace maids were holding all kinds of gifts in their hands, and Qingya counted them one by one, some of which were sent from the palace of the concubine.

"Mother, I have moved out of a room and placed my brothers' belongings separately, and I will take them there." Xiang Qin took the initiative to step forward and ordered the palace maids to follow her.

Qingya saw it on the side, and said with relief and gratitude: "Don't tell the mother, after the slave maid gets older, her energy is not as good as before, but because of the princess to help with the cooking, it is really worry-free." Before the princess gets married in the future, she will have to train a few capable palace maids for you, and the slave maid will not become. ”

Min'er said angrily: "How many things can you worry about, you just have to rest when you are tired." ”

This is all a joke, Qingya has another serious matter, seeing that there are no idle people in the palace, while stepping forward to remove the hairpin for the queen, while saying softly: "Niangniang, forgive the slave and maid for being too talkative, after accepting the gift, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the slave and maid opened the gift box and checked the gift list roughly." ”

Min'er didn't care: "I know, isn't this the rule you have always had?" ”

Qingya bowed: "So the slave maid also looked at the gift sent by the concubine, Xu is the slave and the maid are careful, the emperor has the prince, the concubine is not in harmony with you again, and it shouldn't be so ugly, the gift sent is too ordinary, the slave and maid said something unpolite, a little shabby." ”!!
