311 Gift-giving

It wasn't until dinner that Xie Ning appeared, and Bai Hongqi was nowhere to be seen. 8].]

It's rare. Needless to say, Bai Hongqi's loyalty to the emperor is needless to say, if you put it another way, it is too protective of food, for fear that others will steal his limelight, for fear that others will compete for a good place in front of the emperor, and even his apprentice will find it difficult to get a good job of showing his face here with the emperor.

In his absence, there must be something important to do.

Xie Ning watched the three children play on the unfolded mat, I don't know what they just had to do together, the second prince lay on the chest of the eldest prince, he was fat, he couldn't get up on his hands and feet, like a turtle that had been turned over, and his short and fat limbs couldn't move. Yu Yao patted the floor on the side, and only looked at the brothers' jokes with bad intentions, and didn't mean to go up and help at all.

Fang Shanggong watched from the sidelines, but he was still afraid that the little fat mound of the second prince would crush the eldest prince, so he motioned to Qinghe to go over and pick up the second prince. As a result, the second prince was still unhappy, hugging his brother's neck and unwilling to let go.

It's raining hard outside, and it looks like it's raining.

Bai Hongqi was very tired of the weather, and halfway through, his boots were wet again, and when he arrived at the porch, he stomped on the muddy water on his feet. Xiao Ye hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief.

Bai Hongqi took it and wiped his face, it was oil and sweat, and it was much more comfortable after wiping it.

"Master, do you want to take a break?" Xiao Ye asked softly: "I can do the rest of the things alone, anyway, it's just a few ......."

Bai Hongqi raised his hand to signal him to silence, and then entered the house.

There are a few palace maids tied up in the house, and their mouths are tightly blocked, not to mention the bundles. This kind of binding method is not common to ordinary people, if the binding is loose, I am afraid that these people will kill themselves if they have not been tried.

But Bai Hongqi didn't mean to ask for a confession, he motioned for a few people by the door to come in, and said lightly: "Cut off these tongues." ”

The people brought in did this kind of work very neatly, and with a single order, the errand was completed in the blink of an eye. The smell in the house was particularly unpleasant, Bai Hongqi stood outside the door, wiped his face again, and Xiao Ye also came out of the house and brought a box.

"Let's go."

Xiao Ye was also sweating now, so he had to wipe it with his sleeve in a hurry.

"Master, are we really going?"

"The emperor ordered this, of course I have to go."

But this errand is not easy to do.

Xiao Ye is not afraid of the side, since there is the emperor's order, and the master is leading in front, no matter how difficult the errand is, it must be done.

They walked quickly, and when they arrived at the gate of Shoukang Palace, the eunuch guarding the door was very surprised, who didn't know the face of Bai Hongqi and Bai Gonggong in the palace? Bai Hongqi also came to Shoukang Palace, and when the emperor came to Shoukang Palace, he naturally followed, and when the emperor didn't come, he also came over from time to time to send things to Princess Yujue. Food, ingredients, some rare gadgets. Although it is said that Princess Yuyao is not like Princess Yuyao, she can often see the emperor by her side, but as long as Princess Yuyao has it, she must have exactly the same share here, and it will never be short.

Xiao Ye also came to deliver something.

It's just that he is very unhappy to come to Shoukang Palace. Concubine Jin was generous to the people from Changning Palace, but whenever she came over, she either knocked on the side to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, or she was suspicious, and always felt that what her daughter got was only a fraction of that of Yong'an Palace. In her heart, their mother and daughter were bullied and treated slowly. The emperor only has a concubine in his heart, and his heart is tightly enveloped by Yong'an Palace, and what Shoukang Palace gets is just a little scum leaking out of people's fingers.

Although Concubine Jin is the master, Xiao Ye is just a slave, but he feels that some people are born cheap, even if they are lucky enough to be in a high position, the poor aura of that body is also straight through the cracks in the bones. is like Concubine Jin, if she hadn't given birth to a princess because she was pregnant, where would it be her turn to be promoted to a concubine? The emperor gave her dignity just for the sake of the princess's face, but Concubine Jin herself didn't know how to cherish blessings at all, so the emperor was completely disgusted with her now.

Whether she is usually jealous or playing some unsightly tricks under the table, the emperor can look at the princess's face and ignore it, but this time is different.

The eunuch guarding the door of Shoukang Palace greeted him with a flattering smile: "Yo, this is not Grandpa Bai?" It's raining, why are you here all the time? ”

"The emperor instructed our family to send some things to the mother."

The eunuch of Shoukang Palace smiled all over his face: "Ouch, there is Father-in-law Lao, father-in-law, please come in." When I saw you, I was very happy. ”

yes, can you not be happy?

Who is not hiding in the palace these days, and who is not afraid? But at this time, the emperor was still thinking about their Shoukang Palace, and sent things to the mother and the princess. Do you still need to guess what this means? This is the proof of the grace of Shoukang Palace!

Although I think the timing of the delivery is a bit strange, I have already had dinner at this time, and in the past, when the emperor wanted to come or send people over, it was before dinner, and it was the first time that it was so late today.

Concubine Jin didn't expect that time was not time, and as soon as she heard that Bai Hongqi was coming, and she was still sending something, she asked in the first sentence: "What about the emperor?" Why didn't the emperor come? ”

Of course, it's good to beat people and send things, but it would be good if the emperor could come to Shoukang Palace in person. also let those people see with their own eyes how much the emperor values her and Yuju. Even if it is not as good as Yong'an Palace, it is far better than the other concubines in the palace.

"Father-in-law Bai, sit down and talk." Concubine Jin instructed the palace maid to move a stool for Bai Hongqi, and Bai Hongqi hurriedly said: "Niangniang doesn't have to be busy, the emperor instructed our family to send something to Niangniang." ”

"Not for Yujue?"

"It's not for the princess, it's for the mother."

The emperor sent her something? This has never happened before. When did the emperor reward her alone?

Concubine Jin was speechless for a while, and her hands trembled.

Why did the emperor send her something alone? At this time? What did she do and suddenly make the emperor look at her differently?

But that confusion and worry was soon drowned out by a great ecstasy. She didn't even think about how unreasonable this was, and couldn't wait to ask, "What is it?" ”

Bai Hongqi motioned for Xiao Ye to bring the box over.

The box is not large, and it doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary.

Even if it doesn't look very conspicuous from the outside, it was sent by the emperor. Even if it's wrapped in straw paper, it's a holy grace.

The palace maid took the box and handed it to Concubine Jin, who also asked with a smile: "I also deliberately let Gonggong Bai run this trip, and I don't know what kind of reward the emperor has......"

She opened the lid of the box.

Bai Hongqi looked at Concubine Jin's face with a look of horror, she screamed and fell backwards, the box fell from her hand and fell to the ground, and the newly cut bloody thing in the box rolled out of it, which frightened the palace maid next to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin almost didn't faint on the spot, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, she grabbed the arm of the palace maid next to her, and glared at Bai Hongqi: "You, what are you sending here?" ”

Bai Hongqi's face did not change, and he turned a blind eye to the chaotic situation in front of him: "This is sent by the emperor to the concubine Niangniang, and the emperor has another sentence to ask the lady to listen to it." Niangniang made people say something that should not be said, Niangniang knows best in her heart. If a man cannot control his tongue, then there is no need for it. Please take this gift away, if you are confused, you might as well take it out, take a good look at it, and think about it. ”

After the things were delivered, the words were said, and Bai Hongqi didn't want to stay here longer. He arched his hand without respect: "Our family has retired." ”

Xiao Ye followed his master outside, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but glance back.

Concubine Jin was already paralyzed there, her face was covered with snot and tears, and her mouth was babbling, most of which she didn't know what she was yelling about.

I thought that Concubine Jin dared to do such a thing, and she should be very bold.

was so cowardly, and I don't know where she came from to be so bold at that time.

Before doing something, shouldn't you first think about how to deal with the aftermath? If it does, then what is the way forward? If you lose, how can you remedy it? And Concubine Jin didn't seem to have thought about it at all.

Stupid woman.

Xiao Ye can completely assert that today's incident is just the beginning for Concubine Jin. For a stupid person, it's best for her to do nothing, otherwise the more she does, the more she will go wrong. A few years ago, Concubine Jin was just a small charge, and she was quite honest at that time. But since she was promoted to the position of concubine, she has left all her past duties behind her and acted more and more arrogantly.

It is not wrong for people to go to a high place, but ambition does not match their own abilities at all, and if they go down this road, it will only be a dead end, a dead end.

Xiao Ye quickened his steps and stretched out the umbrella over his master's head.

Although his master is too lonely, Xiao Ye is not very anxious. The master is not young now, and besides, there is such a big mess in the palace, his master can't manage it alone, and he and Meng Quanfu will always hand it over to him and Meng Quanfu to do.

The errand was finally completed, and Xiao Ye's heart was finally a little more relaxed than when he came just now. He leaned closer and asked softly, "Master, this won't scare Princess Yuju, right?" ”

Bai Hongqi snorted: "We didn't scare the princess, if Concubine Jin did something to scare the princess, it would be none of our business." ”

Bai Hongqi serves the emperor every day, and no one knows some of the emperor's thoughts better than him.

The emperor was not willing to let such a stupid person as Concubine Jin continue to raise the princess, but Princess Yujue was too weak and too young, and she was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to it for a while after leaving her biological mother. If Princess Yujun is two years older, the emperor can let the two princesses Yuyao and Yujun move out to live. Seriously, can a woman like Concubine Jin teach her children well? The emperor must have stopped counting on this for a long time.
