"You're right, in fact, there are some words, don't care, even if it's a rumor with a heart, you can also listen to it as a joke," the Queen Mother smiled, the most in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is fragrant flowers, the Queen Mother rarely applies grease and powder, even if she uses it, she mostly uses unscented fat powder, but she likes flowers, and she doesn't like the flowers that the flower room folds to offer a bottle, so they are all fresh potted flowers and bamboo trees every few days to worship, today is the best gardenia, called "White Dragon Spit Pearl", There are red stamens in the white gardenia petals, so it gets this name, the flower fragrance is strong but not greasy, scattered throughout the warm pavilion, the queen mother sat on the kang, and smiled at Gui Xiang who was sitting on the stool, "If there is a discussion outside, I will take this matter over, the queen mother is greedy for pleasure, it is better than the emperor to have fun." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Guixiang, what do you think of Beihai?"

"The surrounding pasture is fertile, and the herdsmen regard it as a paradise, if they fight for some pasture for the Mongolian tribes, and then they train the troops, and pull out the appearance of the new army in the past few years to experience and experience, nothing else," Gui Xiang said with a smile, "As for what lion oil you want, the younger brother doesn't believe it." ”

"Do you believe it? Rather, I will make them believe. The Queen Mother smiled and called An Dehai, An Dehai walked in, followed by several eunuchs, each eunuch held a red lacquered Nanmu tray in his hand, and the Queen Mother raised her face, "You show Gui Xiang these, hehe, new things." ”

"Yes," An Dehai said with a smile, pointing to the first tray, with a white fur on it, "This is a jade bear skin, worn on the body, it has the effect of calming the nerves and calming the soul, it is warm and light, it is better than mink fur or something, and the color is good," An Dehai picked up the jade bear skin and shook it, "Look at it, but there is no other coat color at all!" ”

Gui Xiang was a little embarrassed, and looked at the Queen Mother, who was very happy to eat peaches, An Dehai put down the jade bear skin, and asked Gui Xiang to look at the second tray, "This is a North Sea fish, the fish is big, scaleless, fatty, and delicious; It's the North Sea,"

An Dehai picked up a wooden pot-like utensil, "The water of the North Sea is far better than the water of the Central Plains, it is extremely frivolous, a hundred times better than the water of Yuquan Mountain, and the water that the Internal Affairs Office will supply to the Queen Mother and the masters for cooking tea in the future will use this." ”

In the end, he picked up a jade box, "This is the miraculous lion oil that is passed down outside, and the best is naturally supplied to Ouchi, and the inferior ones are sold together with Beihai Sea, Beihai Fish, and Beihai Jade Bear Skin." As for North Sea pearls, corals, and lambs from the North Sea, they are sold in the main market of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Gui Xiang smiled awkwardly at the Queen Mother, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "This Beihai hasn't been beaten down yet, the Queen Mother's ...... I'm afraid it's not true, right? ”

"Who's to say it's not true?" The Queen Mother smiled, "I said it's true, that's true, as long as you come back from Beihai, it's true." But these are just samples, the real thing, is to take down the North Sea, at least half of the North Sea waterfront to occupy, these things can be sold, it can be regarded as useful. ”

Gui Xiang knew where the "use" of these things was, and the Queen Mother asked An Dehai, "But speaking of which, you will have to use the water of the North Sea in the future?" ”

"Back to the master's words, yes, this is still the master to teach the slaves, the new carriage used by the old Long Live Lord, the princes and nobles and rich merchants outside must use this same style, up and down, if the queen mother uses these, presumably this atmosphere can be learned at once."

"Okay, okay," the Queen Mother was a little helpless, "It's okay to only use the North Sea Sea to cook tea, if it is used in daily life, such as bathing and washing clothes, so exciting, thousands of miles of water, I am afraid that I will be drowned by the saliva of the official." ”

"In addition, the reward can also be chosen from these things," An Dehai said with a smile, "It is not yet possible to give a large reward, only the best can be rewarded with the things of the North Sea, otherwise, it is not allowed to show the preciousness of the things produced in the North Sea." ”

"Then it's the best today, Gui Xiang took the lead," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Make that jade bear skin into a shoulder for your mother, and make a scarf for your daughter-in-law, which is to be worn out often, and it is to be advertised to the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Gui Xiang stood up with a smile and thanked him, the Queen Mother knew that Gui Xiang was now serving in front of the palace, and he was quite close to the internal affairs office, and asked, "How does the emperor see the excerpts of these days?" ”

"It's also the same as in the past, except for reading other things once and handing them over to the Military Aircraft Department for discretion, only looking at the news from Xinjiang and Uriya Sutai," Gui Xiang said, "Sometimes when I get the news in the middle of the night, I will get up and look at the map, or call the Minister of Military Aircraft on duty, I have also advised several times, there is no need to work so hard, after all, these two places are not a big war - just a skirmish, the emperor just didn't listen, and today he is looking at the map near Beihai again." ”

Xiao Zhuzi came in with a stack of booklets with yellow covers, and after saluting, he put them on the kang table, "This is the excerpt of the past few days." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, Xiao Zhuzi retreated, Gui Xiang was a little incredulous, "Queen Mother...... Why do you look like an excerpt again? ”

"The emperor asked me to help take a look," the Queen Mother smiled disapprerovingly, "It's not to look at anything else, just to look at these things he cares about, the war continues, but I am tired and have to look at these annoying things." ”

Gui Xiang's eyes flashed, "The emperor trusts the Queen Mother, otherwise he would not ask the Queen Mother to check it." ”

"It's not a check, it's just a matter of preventing leaks and filling in the gaps, so as not to miss anything, hey, don't talk about this, I heard that your eldest sister also gave birth? What happened last month? ”

"Yes," Gui Xiang said with a smile, "It's just a full moon, and I don't know what it's called, Ama asked me to go into the garden, and I came to ask the Queen Mother what she meant, and I want to ask the Queen Mother to give me a name." ”

"Okay," said the Queen Mother, "then I'll have to think about it." You can't wronged the eldest sister of our family, after a while, when the weather is cooler, you bring your daughter-in-law and eldest sister and eldest brother in, I'll take a good look," the queen mother sighed again, "There are no children in the palace, this is not very good, you come in and walk around, maybe this will bring joy." "The Queen Mother seems to have become a little superstitious lately.

"The emperor is blessed by the Queen Mother's blessing, I am afraid that there will be more good news than I can count, this is not the time yet, Niangniang doesn't have to worry, but," Gui Xiang hesitated and said, "It's just one thing, I don't dare not say it, I look at the emperor, and the king is very close, but different from others." ”

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
