Four hundred and three silk flowers

Princess Yuyao added a few buds to the flower branches, and then she remembered and asked, "By the way, what did the imperial brother bring just now?" ”

"One bag is for food, and the other bag is not heavy, it may be clothing material. Bayi Chinese Network? (viii)."

Princess Yuyao put down the pen and said while washing her hands, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”

Wang Nianqiu answered, and after a while, he brought in the things that the eldest prince had brought with him when he came just now. A bamboo Ruyi lacquer box does not look like something in the palace.

Uncovering the lid of the box, Wang Nianqiu really didn't guess wrong, this box was filled with food, and it was not precious. The box was neatly stacked with four dried fruits, persimmons, walnuts, chestnuts and peanuts.

Wang Nianqiu took out a piece of pad paper from the lid of the box: "Princess, this should be bought by His Royal Highness the Great Prince from outside, you see, the dim sum of Xiangmanyuan will be cushioned with such a piece of paper, and on it is the stamp of their shop." ”

Princess Yuyao pinched a piece of persimmon: "But the imperial brother has not left the palace for the past few days, and it is extremely cold as soon as the snow stops, the imperial brother will not go out at this time, otherwise the father and the mother should be worried about him when they find out." ”

"That's probably for others to bring in from the palace."

"Presumably so." Princess Yuyao could also guess who carried it.

It's definitely not her cousin who is a little stupid, it should be Cheng Jinrong, another companion of the imperial brother.

Qiao Shuying is not at all like Aunt Mingwei's son. Princess Mingwei is so sleek, how exquisite, even Qiao Yuma, I heard that she is also a very popular person and a person who is very good at dealing with people.

But the children born to these two people are not at all like them. Qiao Shuying was old-fashioned, and Princess Mingwei felt that he was stupid to read. And Cousin Shutang is a little too reckless and straightforward, and she will say whatever she has in her heart. Later, I was probably ordered by Princess Mingwei, and I knew that there were some things that should not be said, so I learned to keep my mouth shut. She can hold back what she wants to say, but for what she doesn't want to say against her will, no one can force her, she will never say a word.

Princess Yuyao actually likes this cousin quite a lot, even if she doesn't deliberately likable, at least she won't be hypocritical and duplicitous. I don't get tired of being with her, and I don't have to bother thinking about which of her words is true and which is false.

The other box was full of bits and pieces, silk flowers and velvet flowers, as well as knots and sachets decorated with silver bells.

There are not many flowers in winter, and the women wear silk flowers on their heads. Princess Yuyao only got a pair of butterfly wreaths with gold thread brocade pearls as stamens just the day before yesterday, and she wore them just right when she combed her double buns.

The silk flowers in this bag are naturally not as gorgeous and luxurious as those made by the palace needlework bureau, but the craftsmanship looks good.

Princess Yuyao likes bright faces, which is not a secret in the palace, and many people know it. I don't know if this handful of silk flowers is coincidental or intentional, almost all of them are bright colors, and the shapes of the flowers are also very intricate and exquisite.

Princess Yuyao picked up one and looked at it, and put it down carelessly.

There are so many flowers in one box, almost all of them are what she likes. Either the person who bought the thing happened to be the one she liked.

Is there such a coincidence?

Then, there is also a possibility that the person who bought this silk flower knew who the flower was bought for from the beginning, and deliberately picked these up, just to please her.

Cheng Jinrong?

Princess Yuyao remembered him, and he was there when he went out with the imperial brother twice, and he didn't talk much, but he said it just right.

I don't know if these things were given to him by the imperial brother or if he took the initiative to give them, Princess Yuyao didn't take this matter to heart.

Even if he was trying to curry favor? There are too many people around her who want to please her, not less than one and a half.

Princess Yuyao pushed those silk flowers to the side: "You take this and give them a point, it's just about to be the New Year, take advantage of the New Year to wear one to celebrate." ”

There are rules for the clothes and dresses of the palace maids, and on the day of the New Year's celebration, the palace maids cannot apply grease and powder, nor can they wear flowers or ornaments. And the Chinese New Year can be said to be a rare good time, these silk flowers are now being sent, just in handy.

Wang Nianqiu took the box and bowed his knees to thank the reward: "The slave and maid thank the princess for the reward on behalf of the sisters." ”

There is not much time to enter the palace, but Wang Nianqiu now seems to be in a good position, even the strict Guo Shanggong can't find fault with her.

This box of flowers looks like a lot, but that's because the flowers are very fluffy, in fact, if you count carefully, this box of flowers is a total of eight.

The palace maids around Princess Yuyao naturally don't look down on these little things, but Wang Nianqiu and their companions of the same age are more than eight people, and this box is spent on whoever is not given to whom, but I am afraid that there will be some trouble again. Even if there are a few more branches of this flower, one branch per person according to the number of people, but the flower is still different from the flower. The best is of course the peony, followed by peonies, begonias, roses, azaleas, or something, everyone must want to pick the one they like, but who wants others to pick the leftovers?

Princess Yuyao also thought about this when she gave the flowers, but she didn't say much. When I remembered it the next day, I asked her, "How did you divide the silk flowers in the box yesterday?" ”

Wang Nianqiu said with a smile: "The slaves and maids can't wear flowers this year, so they let them share it, and each of them got a branch, and everyone said that they were grateful for the princess's reward." ”

She said it so lightly, Princess Yuyao just smiled.

Regardless of whether those people really think so, Wang Nianqiu must have divided the flowers very appropriately.

That's what happened in the palace.

Although the matter was a trivial matter, Wang Nianqiu did handle it properly. When she first came, it wasn't that no one excluded her, pointing out that Sang and scolding Huai were light, and she always wanted to assign her to do some chores. But Wang Nianqiu survived and gained a firm foothold by Princess Yuyao's side.

It can be seen that this girl is smart.

As for the box of dim sum and dried fruits, Princess Yuyao only tasted a small bite of persimmons. She doesn't like persimmons, but she likes persimmons.

The weather is getting cold day by day, and the smell of New Year in the palace is getting heavier and heavier. The palace people and eunuchs changed into bright new clothes, and the people who came and went wore smiles on their faces.

These are things that can be seen on the bright side.

There are also some things that are placed under the table, which are imperceptible for a while.

For example, this year, the emperor did not issue an edict to seal the harem.

Originally, many people guessed that after Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, the emperor gave Shi and Han the title of concubines. Now that Concubine Shen and Concubine Shen are gone, then the emperor is only afraid that he will promote others to Jinfeng, otherwise there is only one concubine on the throne, and it is not like that.

Everyone in the harem looked forward to this will so long that their necks were stretched, and everyone was thinking about it, looking forward to this time that it would be their turn to be crowned with Jinfeng.

However, none of the emperors were promoted.
