Chapter 261: Success
The next day, Song Yuru, the princess of Jin, brought a basket of fresh fruits, two baskets of top-quality Poria cream, and two bottles of rose balm to Concubine Xian.
For the sake of these things, Concubine Xian didn't treat her daughter-in-law coldly, but she didn't have much enthusiasm. What is this? Can it be compared with the phoenix hairpin given by Concubine Li?
However, in front of everyone, Concubine Xian will still not lose Song Yuru's face. She asked someone to put things away, and also rewarded Song Yuru with a new palace flower when she had two clips.
Looking at the palace flower in his hand, Song Yuru forcibly held back the anger in his heart. The things that reward the palace maid like this are all rewarded to her, when a girl from the Song family like her has never seen the world?
However, although she was on fire in her heart, Song Yuru still didn't show it in the face of her mother-in-law, she respectfully greeted her mother-in-law, and said a bunch of clichΓ©s to please her mother-in-law.
After a while, Concubine Li Xian's face finally softened, and she retreated left and right, leaving only Mama Li, Song Yuru said the real reason for coming here: "Niangniang, there is news recently that the emperor is ready to establish a queen, right?" β
When Concubine Li Xian heard this, she couldn't help but be happy and said, "Do you also know the news?" In fact, the palace has also received news that it seems that the imperial dining room, Sibao, and sewing room have all begun to prepare for the things to be used in the post-sealing ceremony. After all, the queen's dress is to be ordered in advance. Also, the queen's crown and jewelry must also be made in advance. This must have been ordered by the emperor to be made for the palace. This palace is going to be sealed, haha! β
Song Yuru couldn't help but scold in her heart, this stupid mother-in-law, what's the use of saying this? What if someone else makes someone else's, what if it's made for someone else? Yes, the queen's dress is cumbersome, embroidered on it, and the materials are very exquisite, even if the needlework room is working day and night, it is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, which cannot be hidden. In addition, the various pearls and gems used in the crown of the queen must also be prepared in advance, and the production of the crown is very delicate and takes time to complete.
But is this useful news? You can just hear such news, okay? The key is who is the clothes and jewelry made for? Did people say it was for her? Did you do a good job and then ask her to try it on, or did you ask her to appreciate the pattern on it? Wouldn't this know if she was sealed after the seal?
But Song Yuru is not easy to ask for such words, there is no way, she can only say tactfully: "That's just to congratulate Niangniang." After the mother was sealed, it was well deserved. However, when it comes to the post-sealing ceremony, I haven't seen it yet? β
Concubine Li Xian sighed and said, "Isn't it? The last time the post-sealing ceremony was thirty years ago, at that time, although you were born, you were just a child, where could you enter the palace to watch the post-sealing ceremony? Hey, more than 30 years ago, the post-sealing ceremony was the crowned Queen Yang. At that time, the main palace was just a small Liangdi. Looking at the appearance of Queen Yang's scenery, the gorgeous queen dress and crown are really enviable. β
Concubine Li Xian remembered that when she was young, she and Empress Yang competed for favor and wits and courage, and couldn't help but sigh.
Song Yuru followed Concubine Li Xian's words and said: "Empress Yang is now a deposed queen, and the Yang family is also dead. Now in the harem, the honor of the mother is the first. Moreover, today's national strength is different from when the emperor first ascended the throne. At that time, I heard that the emperor had just ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived. β
"Now that Haiqing Heyan is growing stronger, even the invincible big merchants have been defeated by us. There is no shortage of silver in the imperial court. At this time, the queen crown belt made is only much more luxurious than that used by Queen Yang back then? I don't know if my daughter-in-law has this honor, take a look in advance? β
Seeing her daughter-in-law flattering like this, Concubine Li Xian was much more pleasing to the eye, she really wanted to open Song Yuru's eyes, and also show it by the way, but, in fact, she really couldn't, Concubine Li Xian said with some regret: "Hey, the needlework room and Sibao just came to measure the size of the palace, and they haven't been made for the palace to show yet." Besides, the emperor hasn't picked on this matter yet, how can the palace pick it up in advance? Isn't this bad for the emperor's Yaxing? Besides, if Si Bao and the needlework room are under the jurisdiction of this palace, you can also go and see for yourself, but these places are all managed by Concubine Li, but it is not easy to speak. β
"Hey, speaking of which, these blindless slaves and maids are also angry, and they will be well conditioned when the palace becomes the queen."
Song Yuru's thought flashed in her heart, it turned out that she had already come to measure the size of Concubine Xian? Speaking of which, it's likely that it's really going to be closed. However, these places are managed by Concubine Li, which is very puzzling. Song Yuru didn't get a positive answer, so she could only ask Concubine Xian a few questions. The more she asked, the more panicked she became.
It seems that everything is guessed by Concubine Xian herself. It's just that the emperor came to talk to her every day, and hinted at her every time, but there was no actual affirmative word once.
Song Yuru's heart became colder and colder. Seeing that time had passed, Song Yuru had to leave the palace.
When she walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, Song Yuru whispered to Mama Li who gave her away: "Mama Li, you are an old man who serves Niangniang, you know best what kind of character Niangniang is." At this time, it is a critical time, if Niangniang can really take the back position, then His Royal Highness's position will be stable, and many families of the Song family and the Li family can have the merit of being a dragon. But, Mama Li, you have been in the palace for so many years, you know. If this posterior position is obtained by others, then the major affairs of His Highness will be suspended, and even if our power is boiling oil on fire, it will have no roots after all. Before, the fate of the Su family and the Yang family was in front of them. Does Mama understand? β
Mama Li couldn't help but be stunned, she looked at Princess Jin's stern eyes, her heart trembled, and said: "The slave knows the severity, the slave and the maid will persuade the mother, and the slave and the maid will also inquire in many ways, and if there is news, people will send it to the princess." so that the prince can make a decision in time. β
Song Yuru nodded, she gently took off a bracelet from her hand, it was a bracelet inlaid with seven treasures in red gold, very gorgeous and of extraordinary value. The gems on it are the size of a fingernail and the fire is very good. Song Yuru said: "This is given to Mama, Mama must be dedicated." β
Mama Li was about to postpone it, but Song Yuru said again: "The matter is done, there is everything like this, if the matter fails, nothing can be saved." β
Mama Li couldn't help but tremble, and she didn't dare to postpone it, Song Yuru had already left the palace with her head held high.
