Chapter 46: The Fabric Controversy
"The second princess is still young, and it is normal to be greedy, Concubine Hui, you should not be too harsh on her, just let the people around you pay attention to it in the future." The queen said.
Concubine Hui replied with a smile: "What the queen said is that the concubine has written it down." ”
The queen nodded, and ended today's greeting with a faint expression, "Okay, if there is nothing to do, everyone will disperse." ”
Everyone retreated and left, and after the queen returned to her bedroom, she finally couldn't control the expression on her face, her face was as heavy as the sky before a storm, and the dark clouds made people breathless.
The teacup in hand was thrown to the ground, and the queen could no longer suppress her anger, "Bengong can't figure it out, the son of Bengong is obviously the only prince of the emperor, the most noble prince of the Dayong Dynasty, but why is it not as good as a girl to be favored in front of the emperor and the queen mother?" ”
Liuli and Jade glanced at each other, and Liuli, who usually liked the queen more often, said cautiously: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only son of the emperor, how can the emperor and the Queen Mother not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and don't want to spoil His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, and he will inherit the unification in the future, if the emperor and the Queen Mother are too doting on His Royal Highness the Prince, it will harm His Royal Highness the Prince, on the contrary, they are strict with His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't this show that the Emperor and the Queen Mother have high hopes for His Royal Highness the Prince, and hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the country in the future?"
Seeing that the clouds on the queen's face slowly dissipated, Liuli continued: "Moreover, the second princess is just a girl, even if she is favored by the emperor and the queen mother, she will not live with the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future." ”
"Besides, why do the emperor and the queen mother spoil the second princess, don't you know the queen? Isn't it because the second princess has been in poor health since she was a child, a princess who is not in good health, maybe it will be gone that day, why do you want to be angry with people like Concubine Hui. ”
The queen slowly calmed down under Liuli's persuasion, she nodded, and said: "You're right, it's just a girl, I don't need to take her to heart, what if the emperor and the queen mother spoil her, the son of this palace is not the only heir of this great Yongjiang Mountain." ”
It's just that Hui Concubine has relied on the favor of the second princess and the emperor in Shou'an Palace in recent years, and she has become less and less in her eyes, which makes her really angry.
If the second princess is gone one day, she will see how arrogant Concubine Hui is.
Thinking of that scene, the queen couldn't help but show a happy expression on her face.
In a good mood, the queen also remembered what was going on, and asked Liuli, "Is it time for the Needlework Bureau to prepare winter clothes?" ”
In fact, the winter clothes should have been made a long time ago, but during this time, she has been busy with the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother and forgot about it.
After Liuli nodded, the queen said: "In this case, let the palace go to the weaving and dyeing bureau to choose the fabric, let the needlework bureau hurry up and do it, and the clothes of the palace people and eunuchs are also on the snacks, don't wait until the winter, everyone is still wearing last year's old clothes." ”
"Yes, the queen, the slave maid will let people notify the palaces to choose fabrics." Liuli answered and went down to do something.
The queen glanced at the jade next to her and continued to instruct: "The prince has studied hard, let the small kitchen stew a soup with ginseng for a while, and wait for the prince to come back at noon to drink." ”
"Yes, Queen." Jade answered, and then asked, "Queen Mother, that night?" ”
The queen waved her hand, "Let the small kitchen watch it!" ”
Jade was just about to respond, and the queen said: "Prepare two more dishes that the emperor likes." ”
Jade laughed and went to the kitchen.
Lu Yuning's side, at noon, received a message that he was asked to go to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to choose winter clothes and fabrics, and Lu Yuning thought about it and let Qingdai go to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.
The Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is particularly lively today, the big palace maids of each palace are gone, and the other one is here, and the Shang Palace of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is very busy, not to mention the two who look at the same cloth and do not let each other go.
Qing Dai happened to encounter this scene when she went.
The Hanlu girl in Wen Zhaoyi's palace and the green calyx girl in Xu Jieyu's palace were in a stalemate over a peacock feather brocade.
The color of the peacock feather brocade is dyed exactly the same as the color of the peacock's tail feathers, and there are dark patterns similar to the peacock feathers woven on it, if you can use it to make a cloak and wear it on the body in winter, it will definitely be very brilliant, even if it is not for the two masters in the palace are not in harmony, just for this cloth, it is understandable that the two people do not let each other go.
It's just that this can make Shang Gong, the head of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, embarrassed, and persuaded this and that, but no one could persuade him.
While selecting fabrics for her master, Qing Dai listened to the whispers of the palace people around her, it turned out that this peacock feather brocade was selected by the green calyx girl in Xu Jieyu's palace first, and the green calyx came a little earlier than the cold dew girl in Wen Zhaoyi's palace, and she took a fancy to this peacock feather brocade as soon as she came.
Who would have thought that the green calyx in Xu Jieyu's palace just opened his mouth and said to the palace person in charge of registration that he wanted this cloth, and Wen Zhaoyi, who came from the back foot, also said that he wanted this peacock feather brocade.
Both of them wanted it, but there was only one peacock feather brocade, and the person in charge of registration was very embarrassed, so he could only report it to the head of Shanggong.
It stands to reason that the green calyx came first, and the mouth was opened first, this cloth should naturally belong to Xu Jieyu, but Wen Zhaoyi's rank is one level higher than Xu Jieyu, if Xu Jieyu is more favored than Wen Zhaoyi, it would be fine, and the head of Shanggong would directly let people register the fabric to Xu Jieyu's palace.
But compared with Xu Jieyu and Wen Zhaoyi, Xu Jieyu not only is not as high as Wen Zhaoyi, but also not as favored as Wen Zhaoyi, even if she knows that this peacock feather brocade should belong to the green calyx, she can't really give this fabric to the green calyx.
She persuaded the two of them at this time, and she persuaded the green calyx more often.
"Green calyx girl, why don't you take a look at other fabrics, we got a new Ruyi Xiang moire brocade a few days ago, the weaving and dyeing is very beautiful, the color is very positive garnet red, whether it is to make a cloak or a coat and a coat, it is very suitable."
The head of Shang Gong has been persuaded for a while, and Lu Calyx doesn't want to give up, but looking at the look of Shang Gong in charge, Lu Cao also knows that even if it continues to stalemate, this brocade will not fall into their palace, so it is better to go down the steps given by Shang Gong now.
So, Lu Calyx nodded and said, "Since Shang Gong said so, then I'll take a look at the Ruyi Xiang cloud pattern brocade that Shang Gong said, our Jieyu just likes the color of garnet red." ”
