Chapter 112: Gifting
On the twenty-sixth day of February in the twenty-sixth year of Yongchang, the sun was shining brightly, and everything recovered. Annam, Siam and Mongolia vassal states came to the capital to pay tribute at the agreed time.
Because all the countries come to the court, the market is full of traffic, and the tourists are like carp, and it is a prosperous and prosperous scene.
Although it is clearly stipulated in the Fengyi Palace that whispering is not allowed during labor, when such a lively and new thing happens, the female officials in charge can only turn a blind eye. As long as they don't talk too much, it's okay to talk.
Therefore, some of the maidservants who had just entered Fengyi Palace were already understaffed, and asked a senior palace maid beside them in a whisper: "Sister, have you heard of it?" Those vassal states have come to pay tribute! How much can a mother get in the past? โ
"How much can I get?" The palace maid who was pulled by her to ask in a low voice laughed, and also replied in a suppressed voice: "The queen is noble, how can her status in Your Majesty be compared with others?" โ
She first raised the position of Empress Wei, and then said: "It has always been the mother who can pick as many as she wants, and then divide the rest to the rest of the palace maidens." It's just that our mother is indeed a real person, and she doesn't pay attention to these external things, so she seems to be the same as the mother in the other palace in previous years. โ
When the new maidservant heard this, she was speechless for a while.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A father-in-law shouted.
Immediately, the palace people watched as several of them carried a few wooden boxes into the Fengyi Palace.
As soon as Gonggong Zhao, who was walking in the front, entered the hall, he said to Wei Huai'an, who was standing by the paper window: "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." Niangniang, today's vassal countries pay tribute, and Your Majesty has a special person to bring you tribute. โ
Wei Huai'an was fiddling with the flowers in the vase, and he had long been accustomed to the scene of this big box and small box entering the hall, so he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and said casually: "Okay, the palace knows." Zhiluo, you can find a place to put it, and the main palace will go and see it later. โ
Zhiluo bowed his head and said yes, and handed a bag of silver to Zhao Gonggong familiarly, and then instructed others to put these boxes in the room in the palace where the tributes were stored.
Wei Huai'an didn't take these boxes of things to heart, and still fiddled with the things in his hands. She seemed to be repairing flowers on the surface, but in fact she was thinking about how to get Jun Zehu to agree to Chen Buran's proposal for cooperation.
Yes, the unwillingness of Jun Xuehu, which Wei Huai'an considered at the beginning, still happened. In the past few days, Chen Buyan has changed his rhetoric every day to persuade Jun Xuanhu, but it has no effect at all.
Wei Huai'an was thinking about writing the script from the core interests of Jun Zehu, or simply let the Queen Mother come forward to coerce.
Just when she wanted to come to her senses, Jun Zeci walked in from outside the hall, walked to Wei Huai'an's side, raised her eyes to look at the flowers in her hand, and asked lightly, "How do you arrange flowers here?" Have you seen the tribute I just sent you? โ
He paused for a moment, and without waiting for Wei Huai'an to reply, Jun Zeci continued to himself: "There are quite a lot of gold, stone and jade in it, most of the jade are clear, and the color and texture can be seen; It's just that their eyes are really gaudy, and the gold is extravagant, but it is too bells and whistles. If you don't like it, just put it there and keep it. However, some of the spices sent this time should be your favorite......"
Jun chattered a lot to her.
But in fact, Wei Huai'an didn't put a word into his mind. In her opinion, these things are actually useless, and it is better to make her happy with a meal.
However, although Wei Huai'an didn't listen to what he was saying, she could basically guess the purpose of Jun Zeci's words.
Sure enough, Jun Zeci's next sentence was to say: "Xiaoman, in fact, there are some other things, only I have them in this world, and it is difficult for others to find money." If you stay, it will be yours. โ
When Wei Huai'an heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and Xin Daojun resigned that this kind of trick really has the feeling of kindergarten children giving snacks and toys to others in order to make friends.
She suppressed all kinds of strange thoughts in her heart, turned around, stepped back slightly, met his amber eyes, and said to Jun Zeci: "But Your Majesty, there are no things in these boxes you sent for me, you are exaggerating." โ
Jun Zeqi glanced at the boxes, which had never even been opened, looked down at her, smiled, and asked, "If I guessed correctly, you have never opened these boxes at all." How do you know there's nothing you want? โ
"Of course I do." Wei Huai'an didn't take his doubts to heart at all. Wei Huai'an raised his eyes, his eyes were burning, with a bit of provocation, and said, "Because what I want is Shanshan melon in the Western Regions." โ
Wei Huai'an's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled, "As far as I know, there are no vassal states from the Western Regions who came to pay tribute today, right?" โ
Without waiting for Jun Ze to reply, Wei Huai'an deliberately dragged his throat and said evilly: "Oh, what should I do, Your Majesty." That's it, can you give me anything you say? โ
"Your Majesty." Wei Huai'an called out to him softly, and the cold light in the sun's clear eyes reflected in the two-way clear eyes. Her voice flattened, and she said in a warning tone: "Your Majesty, if you can't do it, stop it in time, it's good for you and me." โ
Jun looked at Wei Huai'an's eyes with a thick and numbing malice. He knew that this was just a small ploy to try to get him to retreat.
Hearing this, Jun Zeci was not annoyed by her provocation. He still looked calm and relaxed, and after only looking at Wei Huai'an for a while, he said lightly: "I said, I will give you what you want." โ
Wei Huai'an looked at him, smiled and said nothing.
ยท
This matter was quickly forgotten by Wei Huai'an.
She said this kind of thing to Jun Zeci, originally just to let Jun Zeci sense that her attitude was slackening from her provocation and warning.
Jun Zeci felt that her attitude was much looser, and she would gain an inch.
Ten days later, Jun Zeci came to Fengyi Palace for lunch as usual.
However, the difference is that the subordinate brought over behind him is holding a melon in his arms that he didn't have in the past.
Wei Huai'an just glanced at it, and recognized that this was the Shanshan melon of the Western Regions that she casually mentioned before.
As soon as Jun Zeci came to Wei Huai'an, he handed her a smaller, easy-to-hold Shanshan melon, and said with a smile: "What is my mind?" โ
Wei Huai'an held the melon he handed over, turned left and right to look at it, put it down unexpectedly, and said calmly: "But Er'er." โ
"When this melon really came to me, I suddenly didn't want to eat it again. What do you say? Your Majesty. Wei Huai'an looked at Jun Zeci with a smile, and then made a sudden realization, and said, "Ah, by the way, I don't eat, I can share it with my subordinates." Come, Zhiluo, cut this melon and distribute it to other palace people. โ
Zhiluo was clearly aware of the warning from Wei Huai'an's eyes at the same time, and His Majesty's eyes as if he were looking at a dead man. She froze in place, holding the melon and not daring to move.
The palace people in the entire Fengyi Palace didn't dare to gasp, and they all wanted to bury their heads in the ground.
At this time, where do they dare to go up to find death?
These Shanshan melons are clearly His Majesty's special horses to come from the Western Regions to please the queen. And such a sincere friendship was tragically stepped on by the queen in front of everyone.
Where do they dare to speak.
And the person himself looked at Jun Zeci with a smile as if nothing had happened, and his expression was inexplicably a little more condescending, as if he was provocative, and repeated: "But Erer." โ
This sentence is not enough, and I don't know who I am evaluating.
Jun Zeci looked at Wei Huai'an's provocative smile, and inexplicably remembered the scene where the poisonous snake hidden in the dark of the cave spit out the letter and gave him an ultimatum with bright eyes.
It seems to be constantly emphasized, no crossing of the line, no crossing of the line!
However, Wei Huai'an didn't understand, after seeing her like this, Jun Zeci only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. Even he didn't know if it was due to an unknown stimulus in front of him.
