Chapter 52: The Animal Party
When Concubine Wei's palace maid went to inquire again, the eunuch of the Garment Bureau originally wanted to truthfully say that it was the emperor's will, so he had to neglect the needs of other ladies. But at that time, the general manager Fang Qi hurriedly walked out, and said: "This order is indeed arranged according to the position, it's not that the slaves are not unsatisfied, they really can't get rid of their hands and feet!" However, Princess Ruyi's clothes are small, so the minions let them stay up for two more nights, first get the princess's new clothes out, and then give Wei Concubine Niangniang a good leather, what do you think? β
Before the palace maid came, she had to be instructed by Concubine Wei.
If she was busy with Concubine Shu's clothes, she wouldn't care.
It can be seen that the objects of anger are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
"You can do it! Don't cut corners, if you do it badly, grinding His Royal Highness's skin, even if the mother can spare you, the emperor will not let it go gently. β
Mr. Fang responded with a sweat on his head.
After the palace maid left, he turned around and reprimanded his subordinates: "Did you just want to say that the whole of the garment bureau is rushing to make the tiger skin coat that the emperor gave to Xi Changzai?" In this way, there will be trouble in the palace! When someone speaks, she only says three points, and the remaining seven points let her guess, and go to make the silver two inquire, that is, don't let the words leak out of us. β
The eunuch is just half a man, and he has been dealing with ladies for a long time, so he can understand their minds somewhat.
Concubine Shu has been accumulating prestige in the harem for a long time, and her family position favors her all.
was taken advantage of by her, and most of the other little masters thought they were unlucky and would not delve into it.
Even with this consideration, Manager Fang didn't say anything full, only let Wei Concubine's palace maid guess, and paid filial piety to the leather out of his own pocket, and made the matter round - every year, during the festival, the concubines want to wear new clothes, and if they don't have enough in the example, or if they want to work hard, they have to make extra silver taels. Mr. Fang was not short of oil and water, but he didn't want to cause trouble.
"It's still the godfather who knows a lot, and his son has been taught."
The little eunuch said in fear.
Manager Fang snorted: "I don't care about others, I see your filial piety, so I will say a few more words." β
The little eunuch snorted his waist and said many good things.
"None of you are allowed to talk nonsense about the tiger skin, and you have to think about whether you have a life flower after receiving the money."
Manager Fang can see far away, if he follows the emperor's past temperament, he will reward whoever he wants, he will not hide it at all, let alone think about how jealous others will be of this rewarded concubine. This time, they kept a low profile, and this meticulous care was more valuable than a complete tiger skin.
He could see far away, but he still wanted to diverge a little.
The Internal Affairs Office will deal with it in a low-key manner, will Xi Chang still wear it to attend Concubine Jiang's birthday banquet when the time comes? It's just that he found that this Xi Changzai was a small conspicuous bag, and he definitely wanted to suppress it first and then raise it, and wait until he was at the banquet to show off, so naturally he couldn't leak the news in front.
In this cold sun hunting ground, because the prey obtained by the guards and eunuchs accompanying the emperor was all hunted by the emperor, the amount of leather obtained was really a lot.
The best one naturally went to the Queen Mother.
The second is the unified distribution for the queen, which is the respect and stable power of the middle palace, but the emperor gave a special order - the concubine wanted fox fur, and the white fox skin was left to her. Concubine Jiang's birthday, also pick some good ones.
This is the emperor's instructions on the "horse killing incident" -
Concubine Shu is in a bad mood, reward.
Concubine Jiang picked quarrels and provoked trouble, but for the sake of being the queen mother, she died her beloved horse and rewarded her with comfort.
The rest is distributed by the queen herself.
Due to the large amount of leather, the concubines got the leather, so they wanted to make new clothes and keep the internal affairs office busy. Concubine Wei has a daughter by her side, and even if she is not favored, she can often see the emperor, and the Internal Affairs Office does not dare to snub her, so she has filial piety as compensation.
changed to someone else, and I called back if I couldn't be busy!
"On Concubine Jiang's birthday this time, those who can wear new clothes are called having face in the palace."
Concubine Li said, and was a little annoyed: "The material that the queen gave me is not as good as Concubine Wei, isn't it just that she has a daughter?" She doesn't even have a title! β
Yun Jiao listened to her chatter and complain in the main hall.
After listening to Concubine Li scolding all the women in the six palaces, she remembered: "What jewelry are you going to wear?" Didn't you say before that Concubine Jiang wanted to kill your horse? You are also a member of Xianfu Palace, you can't fall off the grade," she called the palace maid over: "Take out my jewelry box, you can see a few good things, borrow you to wear them, don't go to the banquet bare." β
The palace maid carried out a jeweled drawer, which flashed dazzlingly.
After trying it on, it really added a lot of color.
"Then thank you Sister Lifei."
Yun Jiao gestured to the bronze mirror.
In fact, after sleeping before, the emperor also gave her some jewelry.
But the jewelry has to be picked by the little sisters.
"No thanks, it's going to be returned, and it can't be broken." Concubine Li said in a tense tone.
Since beating Yun Jiao and calling her mother in Jianzhang Palace, Concubine Li can no longer look at her with her previous eyes. The words he said were still so mean, but he couldn't help but take care of her two more points.
Li Concubine explained this as seeing Xi Chang being too lacking in heart.
If you lose face on a big occasion, others will laugh at Xianfu Palace.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, it was Concubine Jiang's birthday.
The Queen Mother closed the door to worship the Buddha, and did not leave the Changle Palace easily, and this time there was no exception, but she sent a long list of congratulatory gifts, one of which was a glazed multi-son Guanyin, in which the meaning of the blessing did not need to be said, which made everyone in the harem look envious.
Wei Concubine continued to stink at the bottom: "Tut, the emperor is not fortunate to her, even if she is blessed by Guanyin, it is useless." Even the Bodhisattva appeared, and he had to shake his head when he saw her belly. β
Xu Guiren believed in Buddhism and was more devout, and she didn't dare to accept this.
She arrived early and looked around: "Where's Concubine Li?" She hasn't arrived at the palace yet, bold," she said to herself: "I knew that I would go around a few more circles outside, but now it looks like this palace is waiting for her, and I am not afraid of breaking her life." β
"Mother, what is Orijuwa?"
Princess Ruyi asked curiously with watery eyes.
"Oh, didn't you tell you to cover the princess's ears when you were talking in the palace?"
Concubine Wei scolded the palace maid who took care of the princess.
She knew that her cultivation was not good, but she couldn't help it, she didn't dare to say it in person, and it was still okay to chew the root of her tongue behind her back.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing both gave courtesy, but no one arrived.
Wei Concubine expected these two things, one is that she doesn't have to give it to Concubine Jiang, and the other is that her body is really bad.
To Concubine Wei's surprise, the queen actually came.
She saluted and asked An to return to her seat, and wondered to Xu Guiren: "Is Concubine Jiang's face so big?" Then he thought about it: "Oh, it should be the Queen Mother's big face." β
Today's banquet is really a fur display conference.
If you don't have new clothes, you have to change the style of the old clothes and put them on as new clothes.
At first glance, it looks like an animal party.
At this moment, the eunuch took a roll call:
"Xianfu Palace's concubine is here, Xi Chang is here, Sun Chang is hereβ"
