Chapter 19: Concubine Li's Reward

After getting up the next day and finishing washing, after breakfast, Su Xiaojin outside the door shouted in a thin voice to report that Li Fujiang, the servant of the Yellow Gate, had come to deliver the message. I hurriedly got up and went to Yingxin Hall to receive the decree, knowing that the Huangmen chamberlain was an inner eunuch who specialized in serving the queen, and there must be a decree arrived.

Knelt down respectfully and listened to Yi's order: "According to the queen's decree, it is rumored that the new palace concubines will go to the Fengyi Hall of Kunning Palace to see the queen and the harem concubines in three days. ”

Aunt Luo Xiang said that only when she saw the concubine could she arrange a bed. These three days of power made the new palace concubines adapt to the life in the palace.

I hurriedly accepted the order, and sent it out as a good life.

As soon as the waiter in the Yellow Gate left, he reported that Concubine Li of Yikun Palace had a reward.

Liu Bingqian, the head of the palace in Yikun Palace, stepped forward to salute and ask for peace, waved his hand and ordered the little inner supervisor behind him to carry three boxes of gifts, and said to me with a smile: "Concubine Li's mother specially ordered the servants to reward these gifts to the little master. ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you." Please ask your father-in-law to convey her concubine's thanks to her mother. Father-in-law, please have a cup of tea and take a break before leaving. ”

Liu Bingqian bowed and said, "The slave must convey it." The slave has to rush to other little masters, but he really doesn't have the effort, and he lives up to the kindness of the noble concubine. ”

I glanced at Ah Zhu, and she immediately took out two ingots and gave them away. I smiled and said, "There is Grandpa Lao." Then don't delay your father-in-law's business. Liu Bingqian's eyes drooped slightly, and he hurriedly put it in his sleeve and resigned with a smile.

Xiang'er and Qing'er opened the box, and the box was full of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin. Xiang'er said happily: "Congratulations to the little master." Concubine Li is very blue-eyed to the little master. I glanced at the others, and their faces were full of joy, so I ordered the inner supervisor to carry them to the treasury for registration.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Qiushui followed up and said, "I just inquired, except for the little master of Fan Yiren and the young lady, there is not much difference between the other little masters." ”

The smile on the corner of my mouth gradually receded, Qiushui looked at my face, and whispered: "Concubine Li's mother is so generously rewarded, I'm afraid she wants to win over the little lord and Miss Fan." ”

I looked at the thick cotton paper pasted on the vermilion window lattice, and said in a deep voice, "Is that too early to say?" ”

As soon as Concubine Li's reward arrived, Wen Zhaoyi and Liang Zhaorong's rewards followed. I have learned from Ruyi that Wen Zhaoyi and Liang Zhaorong are Concubine Li's henchmen, and Concubine Li has been carefully cultivated and promoted, and they have not been in the palace for a few years, but they are already three products, and they are also a little favored by the emperor. Although it can't be compared with Concubine Li, it is much better than other concubines.

The rewards of other concubines were also sent in a steady stream, and the traffic was busy in the morning.

By noon, I was tired. only instructed Ruyi, Qiushui and Ah Zhu to receive gifts in the main room, and he wore homely clothes to read under the window of the second room of the warm pavilion. After looking at it for a while, I saw that the sunlight gradually dimmed, casting a golden red mottled light and shadow on the plum blossom vermilion lacquer table, and people were also a little lazy. Suddenly, I heard a report from outside the door that Shen Yi Wanyi came to see me, and I was overjoyed, so I put down my book and got up to greet me. When he walked to the west center, Fan Yiren walked in with a smile and said, "My sister is so leisurely." ”

I smiled and said, "What's so busy with people who have just entered the palace?" Pretending to be disgusted, he said: "Sister Yiren didn't come to see me earlier, which made me panic!" ”

Fan Yiren said with a smile: "Are you still bored? I'm afraid that I will be soft on the reward. ”

My smile faded, and when I saw that only Fan Yiren's personal maid was there, I said, "Sister, don't you know that I don't want to have these things?" ”

Fan Yiren took me by the hand and sat down, and then whispered, "I have received a great reward, which is a good thing." But I'm afraid that it will be too ostentatious and provoke other new palace concubines. ”

I sighed slightly, "I know." It's only for yourself. ”

After chatting for a while, Su Xiao came in and asked, "Dinner has been prepared, will Gui Ji use it now or later?" ”

I said, "Pass it on immediately, it's hot and hot." I use it with Little Master Yi Wanyi. ”

Fan Yiren smiled and said, "I came to see you and disturbed you for a meal." ”

I looked at her and said, "My sister is only lively when she eats with me, I see that my sister can eat an extra bowl of rice." ”

Fan Yiren said curiously: "What do you say? ”

I blinked my eyes, learned to talk about the style of Master Xi, stroked my beard and said, "Don't you hear that the ancients said that 'beautiful and delicious' is also." ”

Fan Yiren smiled at me: "There is no such thing as a young lady!" ”

After the meal was over, I sat under the lamp with the Fan Yiren and watched the embroidery.
