Chapter 3 Ingenuity

β€”β€”In recent days, there have been a lot of greetings from the Shen family and the Zheng family, and the old marquis Shen and his son don't have a lot of time; In such a busyness, the Queen Mother's birthday arrived. ♀

Red sleeves waited for Shen Miaoge at the gate of the old mansion, and got into the car with him to enter the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday; When they arrived at the palace gate, Shen Miaoge went to look for her grandfather and others, while the red sleeves stood on Mrs. Shen's side, ignoring Mrs. Shen in front.

When Mrs. Shen came, she had been repeatedly reprimanded by the old Marquis Shen, and if she showed the red sleeves half a face, she would be asked to go back to the house and wait for the letter of retirement; Therefore, although Red Sleeves did not come forward to salute her, she was unhappy, but she did not bring out half a point.

The women followed the princesses and county lords into the palace, and kowtowed to the queen mother in front of the main hall of Ci'an Palace to congratulate her on her birthday: it was simple, but when all the cumbersome etiquette was completed, nearly an hour passed.

The Queen Mother was still in a good mood today, holding Princess Lian's hand and sitting on the side and laughing; The palace concubines also accompanied each other to have fun, and there was laughter. ^Demon! Phantom hand/first/hair

The low-ranking women were taken by the palace maids to sit in the side hall to eat fragrant tea, and wait for the banquet to be given; And the red sleeves were kept by the Queen Mother: Princess Lian said that it was not difficult for her to meet the Queen Mother.

"I heard the princess say that you have a birthday gift for the mourning family, but it's interesting to give it in person?" The Queen Mother looked at the red sleeves, if the red sleeves were not the identity of the daughter of the Zheng family and the wife of the Shen family, her roots would not arouse the Queen Mother's interest.

Among the women's dependents, the appearance of the red sleeves can be regarded as ordinary: there are too many beautiful women, and the beautiful red sleeves are naturally not outstanding; Because she practiced martial arts, she only had a heroic spirit that was slightly different from others, but she also fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother.

The woman of the military general's family is not the red sleeves alone, the queen mother knows a lot of people, and at first glance, the red sleeves do not have any strengths. ♀

Red Sleeves stepped forward and knelt down: "The courtier's gift is meager, I just want to be able to smile at the Empress Dowager to fulfill the courtier's filial piety."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and glanced at the people sitting in the hall: "Well, let's see what you have prepared for the mourning family."

With the words of the queen mother, there was a palace maid on the side who came to bring red sleeves: what she wanted to prepare, and the things that should be used had already been sent to the palace with the birthday gift.

The palace maid sent the birthday gift of the red sleeves to her, and helped her prepare it together: but the palace tick looked at the birthday gift of the red sleeves, but showed a disappointed look, although it was said to be a thin gift, this birthday gift was too thin; Even if it's that crystal glass glass, it's not worth a lot of money.

The palace is several times more famous than this glass cup, dozens of times, hundreds of times.

However, she didn't remind Red Sleeves of anything: Every year, there are women who want to be the Queen Mother's grace, and although there are not many stupid people like Red Sleeves, it is not nothing.

Red Sleeves prepared the things, and stuffed a silver ticket to the palace tick, annoying her to have someone bring hot water: she wanted to make tea.

The palace maid didn't expect that the red sleeves were still good, and she also nodded and asked the little palace maid to send the things prepared by the red sleeves to the palace, and the other little palace maid brought hot water with her.

After the Queen Mother saw what the red sleeves had prepared, she was also a little disappointed: the tea ball in the cup was surprisingly large, and there was nothing special about it.

Princess Lian had never seen the birthday gift of the red sleeves, she also showed a look of disappointment when she saw the glass cup and the tea ball, looked at the red sleeves and shook her head gently: If she knew this, she should have prepared a birthday gift for her cousin and sister-in-law. ♀

Princess Lian thinks that Red Sleeves will beg her to give a birthday gift in front of the Queen Mother, and there must be something important to ask the Queen Mother to make the decision: she has understood the Queen Mother's mind very well in recent years, and preparing a birthday gift that suits her heart is just a piece of cake.

After the red sleeves saluted the Queen Mother: "Please take a closer look at the Queen Mother." She took the delicate golden pot of hot water and slowly poured hot water into the glass jar.

With the infusion of hot water, the tea ball floated a few times and then sank to the bottom of the glass jar, and then it slowly bloomed like a flower!

Seeing this, the Queen Mother's eyes were already inseparable from the glass cup; And the concubines and wives in the hall all stared blankly at the tea balls that were still blooming in the glass cup.

The tea balls finally unfolded, and there were actually two golden flowers blooming inside! After the flowers were fully bloomed, the red sleeves bowed: "Yaochi is not old in spring, and the flowers bloom to celebrate longevity; I wish the Queen Mother happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. "^ Demon! Phantom hand/head/found that no matter what the red sleeves say, the queen mother and others will not pay attention to it: they only have the glass cup in their eyes.

The Queen Mother finally withdrew her gaze, looked at the red sleeves and nodded: "Okay, very good." It's bothering you, kid, so get up. Come on, reward!" The Queen Mother paused: "Heavy reward."

Red Sleeves hurriedly bowed down again, and after thanking the Queen Mother for her reward, he said: "This tea is called Yaochi Xianshou, which can invigorate qi and blood, and can warm the stomach; Although it can't be said to cure the stomach cold, it is somewhat beneficial. ”

The Queen Mother was even more happy when she heard this, she had many years of stomach cold pain, and she took medicine all year round: this matter is known to the whole court, and I don't know how many people donate medicine for this every year; But it was just medicine, and the Queen Mother didn't take it to heart. ♀

The red sleeves are not offering medicine, but tea; Tea itself has the meaning of longevity, coupled with the skillful hands of the red sleeves, such a birthday gift, although it does not cost much, but it is expensive.

The Queen Mother was very happy and looked at the red sleeves: "I just don't know if the mourning family will have this blessing every day in the future." She was probably joking.

Red Sleeves didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such a thing, but she really couldn't ask for it: "This tea can be appreciated by the Queen Mother, and that is also the creation of this tea; There is a teahouse in the courtier's house, as long as the queen mother is happy, the courtiers will definitely offer

The Queen Mother nodded immediately, and the teahouse that had not opened in the red sleeves had an extra tribute.

When the concubines heard Red Sleeves' words, their eyes changed when they looked at her, and they became very kind; And the wives of the life look at the red sleeves, and they are naturally eager: they are different from the concubines, of course they can go to the teahouse with red sleeves, and of course the magic tea can be bought.

The queen sat down at the head of the queen mother, and did not say a word: as long as there is a place for the queen mother, the queen's words are very few; It's not because of the red sleeves.

However, when she saw the birthday gift of Red Sleeves, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: Red Sleeves, she is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, the daughter of the Zheng familyβ€”β€”β€”β€” both of which are the emperor's right-hand men.

Red Sleeves naturally noticed the queen, but she couldn't say anything to the queen in front of the queen mother; However, she had already thought of the queen's thoughts before the birthday gift, so there was nothing to worry about. ^Demon! Phantom hand/first/hair

Half of her purpose had been achieved, so she thanked the Queen Mother and withdrew from the main hall; The other half of her purpose was in the hands of General Zheng and Shen Miaoge.

The emperor and the ministers naturally saw the same scene under Shen Miaoge's hands, but in the glass cup was another kind of flower ball; Shen Miaoge was also stunned: This is also amazing.

However, when he saw the appearance of the emperor and the ministers in the palace, he thought that this tea came from his wife. The first hand is really honorable.

The emperor was overjoyed when he saw this tea, and he was even more overjoyed when he heard the name: Shangsheng congratulated Tianshou - this is not the best birthday gift he gave to the Queen Mother.

General Zheng and Old Marquis Shen had already received the orders of the red sleeves, and stepped forward to invite the emperor: the same birthday gift, they have asked their daughter-in-law to present it to the queen mother on their behalf; This one was boldly prepared for the emperor by the two governments.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Zheng and Shen deeply, and then smiled: "Well, very good, you are indeed my good courtiers."

Zheng and Shen Erfu are showing loyalty to the emperor.

When the emperor heard that this tea came from the hands of the red sleeves, he nodded: "After meeting the Queen Mother in a while. There will be a reward. "He rewarded not only the red sleeves, but also the Zheng and Shen Erfu.

The emperor is buying the hearts of his courtiers.

When the emperor gave the Queen Mother a birthday greeting, in addition to the original congratulatory gift, he also showed the Queen Mother a copy of Shen Miaoge: after the tea ball was unfolded, it was a lewd big three small four flowers, surrounded by a big red flower. ^Demon! Phantom hand/first/hair

The emperor of the dynasty still has three half-brothers alive, so they are one big and three small flowers, but there is no existence of three kings in the name: the emperor, of course, is the only saint.

Although the Queen Mother had seen the tea offered by the red sleeves, she was still attracted by the tea offered by the emperor; She naturally understood the thoughts of the Shen and Zheng families, but she didn't break it.

The emperor also said that this tea is also made of red sleeves, and the queen mother praised the red sleeves a few words; And the emperor took advantage of the situation and said: "The queen mother is so happy that she should be rewarded heavily; Well, he named Shen Zheng as the county lord and added the title of Donghe. ”

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "This child is ingenious, gentle and virtuous, and deserves this title." What surprised her was the title, which was a fiefdom, which was really an honor for the Shen family's wife.

Red Sleeves has been guided by the palace maid, and she received the order outside the palace to thank her: her purpose has been completely achieved so far: she wants to rely on her own identity to make Mrs. Shen no longer dare to underestimate her.

The first product of the decree is already the ultimate for the life of the woman, but the title of the woman does not stop there: on top of this, there are also the titles of the countryman and so on, which are more noble than the first product of the decree.

Red Sleeves, now the county lord; On top of this title, there are also county lords and princesses: she originally just wanted to mix the title of 1 monarch or county monarch, and she didn't want the emperor to be so generous.

This is also because the Queen Mother and the Emperor contain each other, but the red sleeves are cheaper.

Of course, the men of the Shen and Zheng families were happy about the sealing of the red sleeves, but there were still some differences: General Zheng was full of joy, while the father and son of the old Marquis Shen felt a kind of pressure while being happy.

With the change of Red Sleeves' current identity, Mrs. Shen naturally can't stay in the mansion anymore: if she speaks ill again, it will be a disaster for the Shen family. Mrs. Shen also went to the side hall on the left to wait for tea with the women after the emperor came, and her heart was cold after hearing that the red sleeves were sealed! But she had to cheer up and entertain the wives who congratulated her.

Only she knows that Red Sleeves was named the county lord, which is not joy, but only sorrow and sorrow for her; The change of identity made her think about her words and deeds again, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back. Today's three more votes, pink votes, recommended votes, support a lot, women, thank you. Not much to say, the woman struggles to code the word.
