Chapter 175: Prostitutes for nothing, don't be in vain
Concubine Liu Gui was reluctant in her heart, but on this occasion, it was not easy to lose face, and there were busy palace ladies and eunuchs coming and going.
Don't look at what they're busy doing, in fact, the corner of your eye is looking at them.
As long as she saves the congratulatory gift to Qin Shuhuang today, she doesn't have to wait for the end of the election, her reputation for slamming the door and ignoring the people will be spread immediately, and it is very likely that she will be stepped on by the princess regent's people, becoming the foil for the princess regent's tolerance and generosity.
So today's congratulatory gift to Qin Shuhuang, she can't save it if she wants to! And what is given must be more valuable than the princess regent!
Although I was angry in my heart, I couldn't show a little bit on my face at this time, but I had to face it with a smile and congratulate sincerely.
Concubine Liu Gui lovingly held Qin Shuhuang's hand, as if she were her own mother and daughter.
"The princess regent congratulates His Royal Highness, how can this mother of the mourning family be backward, the first queen took care of me, and I should congratulate His Royal Highness today."
As she spoke, Concubine Liu Gui personally took off the necklace she was wearing around her neck and took off the crimson jade bracelet on her wrist.
Whether it is a necklace or a crimson jade bracelet, it is more expensive than the jewelry given by the princess regent.
"These two pieces of jewelry were still given by the emperor, and now they are given to His Royal Highness, hoping that His Royal Highness can protect more people and make my great martial country extend."
"Since the noble concubine said so, then I will accept it. The people will definitely remember the concubine's thoughts. ”
Concubine Liu Gui thought that Qin Shuhuang would excuse herself, and then she would take back one according to her wishes, so that she would not lose too much.
Where did I think that she didn't refuse, and directly accepted the gift......
Both pieces of jewelry are the best that she likes so much that she can't buy them with silver!
Such a sudden change made Concubine Liu Gui not react for a while, and her face showed surprise.
Qin Shuhuang was amused when he saw Concubine Liu Gui's reaction, but he deliberately said on his face: "Does Concubine Gui still want to do something for the people?" ”
The implication is that the concubine has anything else to give?
After speaking, Qin Shuhuang's gaze deliberately swirled around Concubine Liu Gui's head, as if he was evaluating what valuable jewelry she still had.
Concubine Liu Gui was taken aback by Qin Shuhuang's eyes.
She has nothing to do in the palace every day, and her favorite thing is to wear beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry to dress herself.
Over the years, she has saved a lot of good things.
Today to help the emperor in the election, she is wearing the best and most expensive clothes, in addition to the necklace and bracelet for Qin Shuhuang, there are also the best Dongzhu earrings, the silk ruby step shake made by the famous artist, the cuffs of pink pearls, etc.
Qin Shuhuang looked at it, and she couldn't wait to find a place to hide.
Concubine Liu Gui immediately came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness is right, just now I was thinking about going to the royal temple in a few days to eat fast and pray for the people for three days, so that the Bodhisattva can bless the people with food and clothing, and bless the martial arts with good weather and rain!" ”
Qin Shuhuang was moved: "The noble concubine has a heart, and the people know about it, and they will definitely let God bless the noble concubine." ”
After a pleasant greeting, Qin Shuhuang took the lead and walked towards the seat of the head.
Princess Regent and Concubine Liu Gui reacted slowly, one step behind.
Because the princess regent was inexplicably prostituted by Qin Shuhuang with two pieces of beloved jewelry, Concubine Liu Gui saw that the princess regent became more and more unpleasant, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the princess regent.
The princess regent sneered, and sarcastically used her eyes to sarcastically look at Concubine Liu Gui as her life.
Qin Shuhuang didn't care what kind of eye lawsuit the two people behind him had, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain when he came to Yuzhao Palace, the four pieces of jewelry given for free were all superb, don't be in vain!
The princess regent patronized and fought a lawsuit with Concubine Liu Gui, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Qin Shuhuang sitting down on the main seat, and her face changed.
That place was for her!
In front of her was her favorite Yunnan black tea, as well as delicate snacks brought from the Regent's Palace.
Concubine Liu Gui saw the mood of the princess regent at a glance, and without waiting for her to speak, she walked two steps quickly to Qin Shuhuang's side and sat down, and personally picked up the teapot that had made Yunnan black tea and poured tea for Qin Shuhuang.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the black tea brewed by the princess regent herself, it is said to be a rare variety, come, taste it!"
Qin Shuhuang was pleasantly surprised, "Oh? With a sigh, he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the tea was fragrant, with a faint sweetness, "Good tea, thank you for Auntie's tea, I just came down from the morning, I'm thirsty!" ”
The tea has already been drunk by Qin Shuhuang, and the princess regent is no longer willing or good to turn her face at this time, she quietly glanced at Concubine Liu Gui, retreated and sat on the other side of Qin Shuhuang, and pretended to be generous and pushed the box of exquisite snacks in front of Qin Shuhuang, "Your Highness tastes this, it is made by the chef in the palace, and it is excellent with this black tea." ”
Qin Shuhuang took a plum blossom-shaped dim sum and took a bite, the taste was delicate, sweet and not greasy, and it was definitely made with the best ingredients.
Concubine Liu Gui next to her not only poured tea for Qin Shuhuang, but also poured a cup for herself, Qin Shuhuang ate a snack, and she also took a piece.
In the past, the princess regent often showed off the black tea and snacks of the regent's palace in front of her, but never gave it to her, she had been hungry for a long time, and now she has the opportunity to eat it, and she can be angry with the princess regent, Concubine Liu Gui only thinks that this tea is more delicious than she imagined!
Looking at the sweetness of Qin Shuhuang and Concubine Liu Gui's food, Princess Regent smiled on her face, but she was completely angry and lost her appetite.
I can't even drink tea, let alone snacks.
The princess regent suddenly felt that Concubine Liu Gui had become even more annoying.
The three of them sat at the top, Qin Shuhuang drank a cup of tea and ate a piece of dim sew, and Concubine Liu Gui, who had always eaten little in order to maintain her figure, actually drank two cups of tea and ate several pieces of dim sum for a while, just like that, she was still holding a piece of dim sum in her hand and continued to eat.
Qin Shuhuang caught a glimpse of the princess regent's unhappy face and understood something.
I'm afraid that the relationship between these two people is much worse than it seems.
A eunuch hurried in to report to the princess regent.
Seeing that Qin Shuhuang and Concubine Liu Gui were also there, the eunuch who reported lowered his head and didn't know whether to say it or not.
Whether it is Qin Shuhuang and Concubine Liu Gui, they can't be driven away at this time, since they came to report to her at this time, it must be something related to the election, and the princess regent said: "What's the matter, let's say it, Your Highness and the concubine are not outsiders." ”
Only then did the eunuch speak, "The word from the Funing Palace is there, the emperor will come over in a while, and in addition, there is one more person in the list of the general election......"
The princess regent pretended to be surprised and said, "What! The list didn't come out a long time ago, how could there be one more person? ”
Seeing that Qin Shuhuang and Concubine Liu Gui also looked over, the little eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It was added by the emperor's order, and the minions couldn't stop it...... Please forgive your sins! ”
After speaking, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head to plead guilty.
