Chapter 25 It is better to give money
The housekeeper of the palace led a large group of people wearing palace clothes, and walked towards Shen Xinyue and Si Qi in a majestic manner, and behind them, followed by a group of people in the palace led by the old princess, the scale was very amazing.
Right now, there is no way to hide, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid, helpless, Shen Xinyue has to stand in place generously.
Si Qi was also stunned by this formation, and stopped talking, only standing quietly with his head bowed to the side.
The housekeeper brought the person to Shen Xinyue and said respectfully: "Princess, this is from the palace, the celebrity next to the emperor, Father-in-law Hao, the head of Hao." ”
After speaking, he took the initiative to step aside and stood with his head down.
This is already the case, Shen Xinyue didn't want to cause trouble in Huo Weilou's mansion, so she had to deal with the current situation first.
So she smiled lightly, blessed her body slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I've seen Grandpa Hao." ”
The chief eunuch Hao Gonggong replied with a smile: "The old slave has seen the princess regent. The prince and the princess got married, and the emperor was very happy. In order to congratulate the prince and the princess on their good fate, the good couple is natural, and the old slave is specially ordered to go on this trip and send the rewards to the palace in person. ”
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the people in palace clothes behind him lifted the boxes in front of Shen Xinyue and opened them one by one.
Shen Xinyue was not interested in the reward for the princess regent, so she just wanted to salute and finish the matter, when she heard Gonggong Hao say: "Open!" ”
One by one, the lid of the large boxes was lifted and displayed in front of everyone.
The box contains all kinds of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, etc., which makes people really dazzled.
Someone in the crowd inevitably whispered softly, and then quickly covered their mouths.
Grandpa Hao glanced at the crowd contemptuously, and slowly took out a holy decree.
Seeing this, everyone knelt on the ground, and Shen Xinyue had no choice but to go to the city with him, and then knelt down to listen to Gonggong Hao read the holy decree.
Gonggong Hao gently opened the holy decree and read it in his characteristic male duck voice:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Princess Regent Shen Xinyue, smart and agile, dignified and gentle, gentle in nature, beautiful and light, so I give ......"
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said" This word, Shen Xinyue is very familiar with it.
In modern society, I have watched a lot of costume palace fighting dramas, and I also know that after the final recitation of the holy decree, there must be a "Qin this", in addition, the content in the middle, she is too unfamiliar, so she is too lazy to listen to it.
This eunuch was also the first time Shen Xinyue had seen him since he crossed over, and he felt inexplicably amused in his heart.
I used to think that the actors on TV deliberately acted like that for the sake of art, but now it seems that the saying "art comes from life" is not false at all, and I heard the original live version.
Also, kneeling for this thing, it's really uncomfortable, this thin skin and tender flesh, after kneeling for a while, it hurts so much, when will this holy decree be recited!
Shen Xinyue thought about it, and when she turned around and saw Huo Weilou, she must have a good fight with him.
After receiving the holy decree and receiving the distraction, Shen Xinyue knew that she was afraid that there was no one before or after, who let that Hao Gonggong read such a long list, she was really not interested.
However, fortunately, when she heard "Qin this", she knew that this holy decree was finished, so she said: "Thank you, Emperor." And he got up, took the decree, and said no more.
The ghost knows whether she should call herself a "people's girl" or a "minister" or "me" or something like that, if she says too much, she will lose, in order not to cause trouble in Huo Weilou's house, the less she can say, the better.
Father-in-law Hao chuckled in his heart, thinking to himself, isn't Shen Xinyue, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, really a straw bag as rumored, not just a straw bag, maybe she is still a stupid.
After reciting his holy decree for a long time, with the emperor's rewards, even the families of ordinary princes and nobles will be ecstatic to see it, she is a newcomer to the people's daughter, not only not the slightest excitement, but a little impatient expression, really an illiterate master.
Not only that, in order to show the importance of the regent palace, the emperor specially sent himself here for today's errand, if you want to meet a shrewd master, you must not praise Gonggong Hao as a genius.
Right now, since he entered the palace gate, he has said a total of eight words!
The more I thought about it, the more I looked down on the new princess regent, and I didn't say any more, and after explaining the things, I led people back to restore my life.
The people in the palace left, and the people in the palace went to work with them.
The housekeeper ordered someone to put all the rewards in the palace into the treasury of the mansion and handed over the list to Shen Xinyue.
Shen Xinyue looked at the long list, and still didn't understand why the emperor in this palace wanted to give these rewards to the regent palace, and shook her head, "These things are just some clothing materials, women's jewelry, and objects, which are messy and take up space and are not of much use, so it is better to give silver directly." ”
Everyone on the spot: "......"
……
But she said that after the old princess went back, Mama Li said while changing her clothes: "Princess, today's battle is not small, and the emperor has really rewarded a lot of things." ”
The old princess sneered, "People who do big things never care about things outside their bodies, let alone the emperor." Compared to what he wanted to get from Huo Weilou, these small profits in front of him were not even a drop in the bucket. ”
Mama Li nodded flatteringly: "The princess is very right. Princess, shall we go to the Buddha Hall now? ”
The old princess took the bronze mirror again and took a closer look, and when she saw that her hair was meticulously combed, she nodded, "Let's go." ”
This is the practice of the old princess here, whenever there is a major event in the palace, she will inevitably go to the Buddha hall to pay homage and make a wish.
Today, the emperor's reward and the holy decree enter the mansion, which is naturally indispensable for this trip.
After respectfully serving the old princess, Lan Qingruo, who was still confined to the Buddhist hall, repeatedly asked the old princess to rest before leaving, and the old princess agreed.
Lan Qingruo brewed the good tea in the Buddha Hall, personally brought it to the old princess, and flattered: "Qingruo hasn't seen the princess for a long time, this is really worrying, how is the princess doing recently?" “
The old princess took a sip of tea, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's okay." You're okay here, right? ”
Lan Qingruo nodded again and again, "Since Qingruo came to the Buddha Hall, he has been following the master's words every day, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and praying for the palace and the princess." ”
The old princess nodded, drank the tea in the cup, put down the tea bowl, and said, "This is very good." Seeing that the day is almost up, when your grounding period expires, let's talk about it after you go back. ”
Then he got up and left.
Lan Qingruo hurriedly stepped forward, endured it a few times, and finally couldn't bear it, and asked tentatively: "Today, the princess came to pay homage in the Buddhist hall, but it has something to do with the emperor's reward to the princess regent?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lan Qingruo met the old princess's cold eyes, "Qingruo, your news came fast enough." It's just what happened just now, and you'll know it here in a moment. ”
Lan Qingruo's eyes dodged, and she deliberately took out the handkerchief that Huo Ziyao gave her when she came to visit her, and stirred it in her hand, and said cautiously: "Don't blame the princess, after all, this is also a major event in the house, and Qingruo is also concerned." ”
The old princess knew that it was Huo Ziyao's thing, and her tone eased slightly, but her attitude was still quite cold, "You should also be concerned about the affairs of the house." I don't blame you. ”
Lan Qingruo took the opportunity and said, "Princess Xie." Qing Ruo just thinks that like our regent palace, what a lintel it is, the whole country, except for the palace, then there is no second one.
Shen Xinyue is just a businesswoman, with her background, the prince announced her to the world with great fanfare, she is the regent princess, and she also accepts many rewards from the emperor, Qingruo really feels inappropriate. ”
After speaking, he poured another cup of tea for the old princess and sent it to her.
Unexpectedly, the old princess did not take this cup of tea this time, but said coldly: "Qingruo, now that Shen Xinyue's daughter has become the princess of the regent palace, this matter is a foregone conclusion, which is also a declaration to the world, and it cannot be changed."
And you, now that you have become Ziyao's wife, you should correct your attitude and recognize your identity. ”
Lan Qingruo saw that the old princess had a cold face, hurriedly put down the teacup, knelt down in front of the old princess, and swore solemnly: "Princess Mingjian, Qingruo always remembers her identity, Ziyao and I are sincere, and I have no second heart for Ziyao."
Qingruo's current thoughts and thoughts are all related to the princess for the same purpose, that is, to help Ziyao in the future and help him in his future. Please rest assured, Princess. ”
Hearing Lan Qingruo's loyalty, the old princess's cold face eased slightly, and she probably told her a few words, asking her to wait patiently in the Buddhist hall when it expired, and then make plans after everything came out of the Buddhist hall, and then left the Buddhist hall with the support of Mama Li.
……
After Huo Weilou returned home, a cronie stepped forward to report to him about the emperor sending someone to deliver a reward.
Huo Weilou nodded to indicate that he understood, thought for a while, and asked, "What is the reaction of the princess?" ”
The cronies replied: "When she received the order, the princess did not react at all, as if it was a normal thing. However, after the people in the palace left, when the rewards were put into the warehouse, the princess only said that these things were messy, took up space and were of little use, so it was better to give money directly. ”
"Just give money?" Huo Weilou had a question mark on his face, "Is the princess very short of money to spend?" ”
When his cronies began to hear the princess say this, they couldn't understand it, but he later guessed it himself, and explained to the regent according to his own guess: "According to the guess of his subordinates, it may be related to the princess's maiden business."
The subordinates heard that the princess's maiden family is a well-known wealthy merchant in Jiangnan, and her business is all over the place, maybe she wants to use silver or something? ”
"Well, then, you go and arrange, all the silver tickets, gold and silver in the king's private treasury are at the disposal of the princess, and you can take it as you like." Huo Weilou said.
The cronies nodded yes.
"Also, about the housekeeper's rights, you go and remind people to send all the account books in the palace to the princess."
The cronies were surprised and reminded Huo Weilou, "Lord, the stewardship of this palace has always been with the old princess, and the old princess didn't say anything, so she sent the account book to the princess, afraid that the old princess would have any opinions and regenerate suspicions." ”
Huo Weilou sneered, thinking to himself, he was right, he wanted to let them have an opinion, but he said: "It is right for the princess regent to be in charge of the middle feed of the palace, this is the traditional rule." This king arranged this way, and I think my mother can understand it. Just do it. ”
The cronies respectfully bowed their heads and said yes, and after receiving the order, they went to make arrangements.
