147. Congratulatory gifts
Dye Qing walked and stopped thoughtfully, his mind was in a daze, and when he woke up, he walked to the edge of the grove a few days ago. remembered that day when they met Erwang and Nanyuechen, they treated her as a palace maid to fight, which made Qin Tiance extremely angry. In the situation at that time, was he really angry or was he doing superficial work? And behind the anger, how much is because of jealousy, and how much is because of unwillingness?
And when the second king returns to the dynasty, there will inevitably be some movement with the queen mother, she forgot about the account book and didn't tell him. But I want to estimate that he has known it a long time ago, he has a deep mind, a precise layout, and his calculations and conspiracy will not be worse than anyone else, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all, just the depth of her half bucket of water, I'm afraid it will only harm herself.
After going through so many things, she has long understood that if she wants to survive in the palace, she needs not only to be smart, but also to be obscure.
I don't know how long I was in a daze, and when I returned to Fengran Palace, it was almost dark.
Han Yu's face greeted him with joy, and he squeezed out a smile, not wanting to bring his chaotic emotions to everyone. After entering the inner hall, he looked left and right and asked, "Hanyu, where is Yue Ying?" "There's been so much going on lately that I haven't had the extra heart to care about this little thing. Han Yu laughed before he could say anything, and several people standing around him also burst out laughing.
Follow their line of sight, see the little Yue shadow shrunk under the soft couch, there is a brocade box clamp next to it, it can be seen from a distance that it is the purple and black flower, the funny thing is its expression, if the animal also has a look, then at the moment it is very enjoyable. Because after a while, it will probe to smell the flowers, and then as if injected with energy, it will look up to the sky and sigh.
Lu He couldn't help but say on the side: "Niangniang, before you come back, Manager Han came first. ”
Han Yu took over the conversation and said: "Han Xiao was ordered by the emperor to bring you dinner, and by the way, he brought some strange flowers over, and made Xiao Yue Ying beautiful, but happy." As soon as it was happy, it fluttered its wings and flew up to lick Han Xiao's face, but he was unguarded, licked it squarely, and sprayed his face with saliva. ”
After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed, presumably the situation at that time must have been very funny. It's a pity that she was in a daze all the way and missed this wonderful picture, Han Xiao's serious face couldn't cry or laugh, it must be very interesting.
Green Lotus had already brought a basket to the table, "Niangniang, the slaves and maids secretly took a look at the dishes inside-" In the middle of the sentence, he stopped talking and just smiled.
"Green lotus girl, halfway through the words, is it the appetite of the palace?" Seeing that they were all happy, they didn't want to spoil the fun, so they deliberately cooperated and asked. Hanyu walked over, opened the box basket directly, and brought the dishes to the table, "It's all what Niangniang loves to eat every day." ”
When I looked at it, it was true, the combination of meat and vegetables was also her favorite dish on weekdays. It seems that he has also broken the rules of the palace vegetarian diet for himself, and the meal he had there last time was specially prepared for her. Inexplicably, he was a little stunned, if Qin Tiance was gentle, he could really be soft to the heart, but being ruthless made people feel cold to death.
She felt like she had fallen into a dead end, on the one hand, she was touched by some of his behaviors, but on the other hand, she was unable to move forward, afraid that the heartbreak she had once would come back, and whenever her heart was a little soft, something else would always happen, just like Concubine Yan's hidden mysteries, and she had no intention of learning about Yurou's concubine, these things were like a ring, and she couldn't escape.
After eating some casually, he put down his chopsticks and asked Hanyu another thing: "What gifts should be prepared in the palace for the Queen Mother's birthday." After being reminded by Concubine Yan, this matter must not be sloppy, otherwise it will find a mistake for the Queen Mother, and you will have to use the topic to play.
"Do you want to be more colorful, or do you want to be low-key?"
"Naturally, it's a little more low-key." She is not a fool, this kind of occasion is naturally reserved for people in need to shine, what is she doing in the limelight.
Han Yu frowned and thought for a while and said: "The slave thinks that the congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother will appear unreasonable and contemptuous if it is too contemptuous, and it will appear to be out of the limelight if it is too delicate, so it is necessary to weigh it." ”
Dye Qing nodded, indeed, gift-giving is also a science.
But what I don't understand is that the palace concubine stays in the palace all day long, where do you get any rare things?
Han Yu laughed when she heard this, "Niangniang doesn't know, you can weave the congratulatory gift by hand, or find it in the warehouse, or ask someone to make it, or prepare it at home, you can always find a way." ”
was explained by her, Dye Qing understood it, and in addition to doing it yourself, she could rely on her mother's family. It's just her maiden family...... Thinking of Ning Xiang and the eldest lady, he directly denied this method.
In the end, after discussion, Hanyu decided to go to the treasury to look around, and she said confidently: "Niangniang, if you believe me, you will leave this errand to the slave maid to do." ”
Dye Qing said angrily: "For you, what else do you want to talk about, believe it or not, you have an idea, and it saves me from worrying." Even if you prepare, you're going to hurt me, fool! ”
The word fool contains pampering and trust, which does not belong to the praise word, and it becomes a good intention when the master says it.
In the days that followed, Qin Tiance, who was at odds and fives, sent Han Xiao over to deliver some meals, or some strange things, such as night pearls with big eggs, earrings made of blood jade, and so on. Occasionally, Han Xiao didn't come, but Xiao Hezi came over, and even didn't send anything, just asked Xiao Hezi to come to her and talk about the trivial things of the emperor's life, and she stared at her when she heard it, what kind of thing is this?
In other words, she was messed up with her intention to be calm and calm, and she couldn't think carefully about her future plans.
However, there was never a time when Qin Tiance came.
It's like a cat tickling it, scratching your heart and not being able to exert any force. On the contrary, his figure perforated into her mind, and when it came to the night, the teeth itched with hatred.
When the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, Han Yu mysteriously brought a gift box with a face bandage and wrapped it in a red cloth towel. The length of the gift box is nearly 30 centimeters long, and if you talk about jewelry, you shouldn't put so much on it.
"Hanyu, is this a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother?"
Hanyu nodded, didn't speak, grinned, and untied the red cloth towel.
Immediately, Dye Qing's eyes lit up, not to mention how valuable the gifts in the box were, even this box was also made of high-quality black sandalwood. The carvings on it are very fine, and it looks like a phoenix.
The box opened, and I was surprised again, it was actually a jade Guanyin! The jade is as white as a flaw, and the expressions on the face are vividly depicted, at first glance it is kind, and if you look closely, it reflects the state of peace.
No matter from the perspective of appearance or the quality of jade, this white jade Guanyin can be described as a top grade.
"Hanyu, where did you come from?"
This thing can't be said to be priceless, but it's also a superior item. She is just a palace maid, and it stands to reason that she will not be able to get such a valuable thing. Han Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "Niangniang only needs to tell the slave maid that this white jade Guanyin is still satisfied?" ”
Satisfied, of course satisfied. The queen mother was already singing and believing in Buddhism, and sending the white jade Guanyin was also as she wished. "Wouldn't this gift be too expensive and steal the limelight from others?" That's what worries her the most.
Han Yu shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the slave has already gone out to inquire." The smoke concubine sent the phoenix brocade, the concubine Rou sent the black sandalwood night pearl, and Princess Wanyue prepared a colorful butterfly dance, and the second prince prepared a jade necklace. ”
Although white jade is a rare product, it is not too luxurious compared to jadeite and black sandalwood night pearls. However, the conduct of the Queen Mother does not seem to match this white jade Guanyin. It's not as good as Lizhu Niang, concentrating on cultivating Buddha, if the white jade Guanyin is given to her, she will be very happy. When I think of Lizhu Niang, I naturally think of Xiang'er, are they okay in Junwang? I don't know when I'll see you again.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Queen Mother's birthday, the entire palace was full of joy, and the lights were everywhere.
According to the palace ceremony, the queen mother will be accompanied in the afternoon to enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden, the banquet is set in the evening, and the officials above the second grade can bring their relatives to celebrate the queen mother's birthday. The scale may be only a little smaller than that of the emperor, but it is also extremely powerful.
Dye Qing didn't want to join in the excitement in the afternoon, and planned to show up again at the dinner, but Hanyu didn't agree. Because in the past half a month, the master has not stepped out of the gate, and he has stayed in the Fengran Palace all day long, often frowning, looking out of the window in a daze, and in a daze all day.
She didn't know what happened to Niangniang in Ziyang Palace that day, one was closed in the dormitory, and the other was sent here and there every once in a while, but she never came to the Phoenix Dye Palace. Obviously, both of them care about each other, but they refuse to bow their heads first.
Alas, these two men......
Anyway, the emperor's grounding order for Niangniang is also useless, just take this opportunity to go out for a walk, you can relax. It happened that Wanyue also sent someone over to say that she was waiting for dyeing blue in the imperial garden, so she had no choice but to let Hanyu dress her up.
Because she accidentally walked to the grove again last time, she found a shortcut to the Imperial Garden, so she didn't think about it and walked with Hanyu from that shortcut. The road passed through the grove, and then along a small river, and the river was covered with trees on the side, and it was very secret.
Walking under the tree, I feel very shady.
Suddenly, her hand tightened, Han Yu grabbed her arm, leaned into her ear and lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang, there is someone in front." ”
Dye Qing listened carefully, and there was indeed someone whispering something in front of him, and there should be some distance to listen to that voice. When you get closer, you can tell that it is a male voice and a female voice.
Han Yu whispered again: "It seems to be King Rui and a girl." ”
Slightly surprised, how could King Rui be here with a girl? Could it be the person he likes? Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, there will be many young ladies of princes and ministers who will also attend, could it be that which lady has a relationship with him and has a private meeting here?
Thinking of this, I am a little curious, I don't know if it is Miss He who can make a man like King Rui fall in love, and when she comes here, I am afraid that King Rui will hear the footsteps if she goes forward, if you meet head-on, I am afraid that the two will be embarrassed.
Therefore, he didn't make a sound when he dyed the green, so he pulled Hanyu to hide behind the tree, and after waiting for a while, it would be fine.
