Chapter 338: Gifts

"There is only one girl in the palace, the second princess, is there a playmate of the right age, no wonder I met the lord of Jingyi and wanted to get close."

The queen sat down at the top and spoke softly.

Pei Yao also nodded and teased, "I usually saw Wan'er pestering the eldest prince, and I finally waited for a sister today." ”

"Since you want to play with your sister, why don't you invite your sister yourself?" Fang Yu turned sideways and smiled lightly to encourage.

The second princess thought about it, then got up and walked towards the county lord Jingyi.

Seeing her coming, Lord Jingyi also looked up at her mother nervously.

Princess Dun nodded with a smile, "Go, my sister is still young, you remember to take care of it." ”

"Yes!" Jingyi's apricot eyes bent, and he also stood up happily.

She is one year younger than the eldest prince, and she is six years old this year, and she is two and a half years older than the second princess.

It's possible to play together.

One little friend is not enough, and the eldest prince is also pulled.

Although the third prince is only more than two years old, he is also greedy when he looks at them in one place.

At this time, Concubine Yang naturally wants to be a loving mother.

So he ordered the maids to follow, and also took the three princes and joined in.

Fang Yu didn't let the four princes go.

The four princes couldn't keep up at all, and it didn't take long for the road to go neatly.

The children are out, and the feast for the adults is the beginning.

Today is the queen's birthday, and the first item is naturally a birthday gift.

Pei Yao nodded and gave the queen a set of Fengao Nine Heavens screen.

Don't look at the screen, but the craftsmanship here is not to be underestimated.

Nearly three meters high, about seven meters long, a total of 10 fans, the frame is made of pineapple wood, carved by a master craftsman, the pattern on the whole screen is not ordinary embroidery or painting, but made of silk technology, with gold and silver thread, and inlaid with various colors of pearls and gemstones.

Aside from this craftsmanship, the original value of the item alone is already expensive.

After getting this birthday gift, the queen was also surprised.

In addition to liking, but also worried.

"Your Majesty, this gift is too precious, now that the country is at war, it is the time when you need money, silver, and military rations, this screen costs a lot, and the concubines are really ashamed."

"The queen doesn't have to shirk, you are in charge of the affairs of the six palaces for me, and I know all the hardships."

Pei Yao comforted in a deep voice and explained.

"What's more, this screen is not specially made by craftsmen, this is when the first emperor was alive, Jiangnan tribute, and now I am also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, the queen should not dislike it."

After hearing this, the queen was relieved, bowed and accepted the screen.

Then came the things of the Dunwang Mansion and the Ning Wangfu.

Naturally, they are also valuable.

And when she arrived at the harem, after Concubine Yang presented a pair of antique vases made by everyone in the previous dynasty, Fang Yu followed closely and gave a piece of clothing.

When the thing was presented, everyone was surprised and curious.

As a concubine, making bedding for the emperor is to invite favor, and that's it, which clothes to make for the queen, or outerwear.

But when the red cloth on the wooden pallet was removed, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed.

The whole dress is as if it is woven with moonlight and starlight, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no superfluous jewelry inlay on the clothes, only silk threads intertwined and painted patterns.

And the pattern is also different from the flowers and auspicious clouds commonly used in the past, and the embroidery is actually rice fields, wheat waves and cotton.

Rao is a well-informed queen, and when she sees this dress, her beautiful eyes widen slightly.

Seeing that she was interested, Fang Yu opened her mouth at the right time.

"The concubine knows that the queen is concerned about the people's livelihood in the world, and does not want to be extravagant and wasteful, so she made this dress, although the concubine has little reading, but also knows that the people are the foundation of the country, and agriculture is the root of the people, the five grains are full, cotton and linen warm the body, the queen mother is benevolent, and she is the mother of the subjects of the world, so the concubine embroidered these silk threads into the clothes and dedicated them to the mother."

Hearing her words, the queen's face showed even more appreciation.

He immediately got up and walked down, stood in front of his clothes and raised his hand to touch it.

"Good thoughts, good craftsmanship, it's rare that you can think of this."

"The concubine has been by the side of the emperor and Niangniang for a long time, no matter how stupid she is, she can understand the intentions of the emperor and Niangniang to some extent."

Fang Yu bowed and calmly answered.

And Pei Yao, who was sitting at the top at the moment, looked at the scene in front of him and also got up and walked over.

After carefully looking at the clothes in front of him, the gaze that fell on Fang Yu was obviously appreciative.

"Concubine Zhao has always been delicate and intelligent."

"The emperor praised it falsely, the concubines are just a little smart."

Fang Yuliu's eyebrows curled slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

And this scene fell in the eyes of other concubines, naturally she lent the queen a gift and flattered her in front of the emperor.

Although Fang Yu does have this thought.

But I can't stand the fact that some people have a heart in their hearts, so they want to speak.

At this time, I heard Concubine Yang speak, "It must take a lot of effort to make this dress, look at this fabric is made of Shu brocade, and there is silver thread in the thread, not to mention the value, just embroidery will take a lot of time, during this time the second princess is sick, it is difficult for Concubine Zhao to not only take care of the two children at the same time, but also prepare for the birthday gift for the queen." ”

When a word comes out, it sounds like a thorn.

First of all, the clothes given by Fang Yu are not cheap, they were smashed out of cash money, and implied that Fang Yu can be distracted by the second princess's illness to make this clothes, I am afraid that he doesn't care much about the second princess at all, and those motherly looks on his face, I'm afraid he is not pretending.

And in the face of her poor speech, Fang Yu also dealt with it calmly.

"Shu brocade was rewarded by the emperor before, is this silver thread, I'm afraid that the silver thread of the whole dress is not as expensive as the peacock hairpin on the head of Concubine Yang's sister, I heard that it was newly made by my sister who just ordered the craftsman recently? It's really beautiful. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yu turned around and glanced at the four princes again, and then said.

"It's really difficult to take care of the child, but fortunately, there are nurses to help you, and the doctor is always there, clothes, naturally there are embroidered girls to help, before the second princess was sick, she was prepared early in the morning, but she didn't delay much effort to take care of the child, it seems that the third prince asked Sister Yang to bother more, and my sister will feel tired in this palace."

Although the tone is soft, there is also a sharp edge hidden in the sentences, and Concubine Yang listens to it, and a sneer is drawn on her lips.

"Sister Zhaofei is smart and capable, it's really not like we can compare."

Now that Pei Yao is present, she naturally just says a few words, no matter whether she wins or loses, she will not pester Fang Yu to earn a profit.

And Fang Yu was the same, smiled, and stopped talking.

Of course, Pei Yao could also hear the confrontation between the two concubines, and he couldn't help but get a little bored with Concubine Yang.

But because there are still outsiders present today, and it is the queen's birthday, it is not easy to make a fuss, so it looks bad, so I didn't say anything.

I returned to my seat with the queen, and there were other concubines to present next.

It's just that people didn't expect that this Wan Liangyuan had just finished offering the gift, and before Song Liangyuan could stand up, there was a rush of footsteps at the door.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a little palace maid stumbling in.

Fang Yu recognized that it was with the second princess.

Suddenly my heart screamed badly.

Sure enough, I heard the little palace maid gasping and crying with a sad face.

"Oh no, no, the second princess fell, hit her head on the flower bed, and bled out!"
