Chapter 66: Raising the price
There was a burst of beautiful praise in front of him, followed by a very rich list of rewards, and the eunuch stretched his voice, and it took about a quarter of an hour to read the long list.
Such as: "a pair of jade jade Ruyi, five pairs of tourmaline earrings, a box of gold-inlaid jade bracelets, three red coral ornaments, a pair of official kiln flowers and rich fine-necked bottles, and 20 pieces of palace satin tribute brocade......"
Everyone knelt so numb that their knees were dumbfounded as they listened to the long list!
As the holy decree was recited, Nanmu boxes wrapped with festive red flowers were carried in by the little eunuchs who followed behind. Half of the yard was piled up.
The eunuch rolled up the holy decree, helped Shen Wei up, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, except for the daughter of the clan, this reward from the emperor is the first one." Your daughter is a great blessing. After speaking, the eunuch faced Shen Qinghe, who was kneeling, and said with a smile, "Miss Qinghe, please get up, the emperor often asks about you." These words are in the service of the holy will, and they are raising Shen Qinghe's value.
Shen Qinghe replied in a low voice: "It is the luck of the courtiers to have Emperor Lao's concern. With that, Yingying got up, and everyone stood up too.
Shen Wei held the eunuch's hand, laughing so hard that his beard was about to rise.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Shen Wei said repeatedly: "My father-in-law has worked hard. As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and quietly stuffed them into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch took the silver and smiled even more: "Lord Shen, Your Majesty is still waiting for the slave to return to the palace to resume his life, and it is inconvenient for the slave to stay for a long time." ”
Shen Wei hurriedly said: "That's natural, Your Majesty's business is the most important." ”
A group of eunuchs left again.
Han looked at the reward that took up most of the courtyard, and his lungs almost exploded. She felt a little dizzy in her brain and a little breathless.
Under the anger of the Han family, he didn't even have the heart to send the guests, and said coldly to Shen Wei: "The concubine is not feeling well, so go back to the room to rest first." ”
Shen Wei was now in a good mood because of the reward specially given by the palace, and he didn't bother to pursue it, so he let Han go.
Shen Fangrou turned her head and looked at Shen Qinghe unwillingly, and pulled Shen Lingwei to follow her mother's footsteps and leave.
In this way, the candidate for this send-off also fell on Shen Qinghe.
After solving the pits dug by the Han family, Aunt Su no longer worried about Qinghe and took Xiaoliu back to the yard.
If it is said that everyone was not optimistic about the marriage contract between the daughter of the Shen family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but now, after seeing the emperor's rich reward, and this eldest lady's stunning appearance, decent manners, and superb piano skills, many people have changed their minds.
Of course, it is necessary to show favor as soon as possible, otherwise when people really fly on the branches and become golden phoenixes, no matter how much flattery and flattery they have, it is just icing on the cake, and it has no effect.
The wife of the official family, who was active, played the nostalgic card, took Shen Qinghe's hand very affectionately, and sighed: "When I saw Miss Shen today, it reminded me of Princess Lingci Allure. Thinking about how gorgeous the princess was back then, we were all ashamed to see it. ”
Shen Qinghe didn't believe that she had no relatives and no reason, and suddenly someone missed her mother. If she really misses it, when she just returned to Beijing, why didn't she see a visit? Now they are all dressed up like old friends with their mothers.
In this regard, Shen Qinghe had no intention of poking it, and only accompanied the woman to act: "If your mother has a spirit in the sky, I know that you still remember her voice and appearance back then, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold back tears." ”
……
Shen Qinghe was trapped in the crowd, smiling and chatting with everyone, chatting about some innocuous topics, since they had a show of goodwill, Shen Qinghe naturally would not refuse. But......
I am afraid that they will be disappointed, although the emperor has sent someone to send a rich reward today, but the holy decree does not mention the most important marriage contract at all.
If the emperor is really satisfied with her being his daughter-in-law, it is a good opportunity to settle this matter without revealing a relevant word.
Therefore, the emperor's heavy reward is probably just the face of her dead mother, Princess Allure.
Sending the last batch of female guests to the door, watching their sedan chair gradually move away, Shen Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, I was just about to go home. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, and then a carriage with blue curtains on the top of the ceiling brushed Shen Qinghe's body and stopped.
