The female officials in the palace stepped forward in turn, and presented the tray in their hands to the tray, which was full of dazzling gold and jade heads and all kinds of fine and beautiful ring hairpins.

Empress Tianchen's jade face was dignified and elegant, her slender white fingers swept over the jewelry in the tray one by one, and then said with a gentle smile:

"This one, this, this, and this, yes, and the mutton fat white jade inlaid with sapphire dots and emeralds over there, these are all properly put away separately for the palace. As for the rest"

She thought about it for a while and decided, "Just put it back in the private treasury of the palace for the time being, and take it out when you need it." ”

Several female officials bent their knees one after another, and saluted respectfully.

Yan Song, the personal female official next to the queen Xiaobai, took two steps forward and carefully selected the six extremely expensive and luxurious jewelry heads and faces personally selected by the master Niangniang.

Then she raised her hand slightly, motioning for the other female officers to step back first.

When there was no third person in the hall, Yan Song smiled and said: "Niangniang's vision is excellent, and what you have selected is the best in this batch of jewelry given by His Majesty."

Otherwise, Your Majesty still respects you the most. Didn't these top batch of newly made jewelry in the palace also be sent to the queen's Fengyi Palace? I heard about other girls, but they didn't get a share. ”

Who knows, when the queen Xiao Bai heard this, her smile faded a little.

"Yan Song, do you really think that these jewelry heads were directly sent to the Fengyi Hall of the main palace?"

Yan Song was stunned.

"Slaves and maids are dull. Isn't it? ”

Empress Xiao Bai's lips pulled up a wry smile with an unknown expression, and the young mother of the Southern Dynasty had a complicated expression.

The next moment, she shook her head slightly.

"Definitely. Calculating the time, it has been nearly two years since the palace entered the palace, and during this time, it has also received a few people who are still useful. Xiao Lizi, the inner supervisor who came to deliver jewelry yesterday, is a person from the palace.

Yesterday, the palace asked Xiao Lizi, in fact, the most advanced of these objects is the door of the Penglai Hall - or His Majesty personally brought it. It's a pity that Concubine Shu was in a bad mood and didn't take a fancy to any of them, so she was sent to the palace. ”

Her always demure and dignified face flashed with a trace of imperceptible sadness.

It seems that only in front of the dowry maid who grew up together since childhood, she will show a little bit of the emotions that she should have at her age, not the "mud bodhisattva" who sits in the Fengyi Hall with a mask.

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he said angrily:

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

Yesterday, when Xiao Lizi came to deliver the jewelry, Yan Song personally took care of the bird's nest enjoyed by Queen Jingcheng in the back kitchen, so he didn't wait in front of him, so he didn't know that there was such an inside story.

She was so angry that she couldn't hold back her mouth.

"Queen Mother! Your Majesty is really too much, and it is just that he is more kind and affectionate to Concubine Wan Shu on weekdays, after all, that cheap maid is an old person who is serving in His Majesty's palace, or the first concubine of His Majesty, it is inevitable that there will be a little more unusual affection. But you're the queen of the main palace—"

"Yan let go! How can you talk about Your Majesty, you are so bold! ”

Queen Xiao Bai's face was solemn, and she said coldly: "Even Concubine Wan Shu is one of the four concubines, and now she is the only one of the four concubines in the city that never sleeps, and the other three concubines are empty, and she is the first person under the palace."

The words of 'cheap maid' must not be mentioned again, otherwise if you have no mouth, you will bring disaster to the palace from your mouth, do you understand this truth? ”

Yan Song's face was pale and flustered, and he quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.

"Yes, the slave will understand. Before, the slave and maid were angry, so they talked nonsense, but outside this kind of talk, the slave and maid would never dare to talk nonsense, and cause trouble to the master. ”

"That's it."

Queen Xiao Bai sighed and said, "I miss you and worry about the palace, so you will lose your proportions, and this time it's just that." Next time, if you don't hold back your mouth, this palace will not tolerate it, and it will punish you. Get up. ”

"Yes, Xie Niangniang."

Yan Song stood up, took a few steps forward and showed the delicate sandalwood box with the head and face of the jewelry in his hand in front of the queen Xiao Bai, and changed the topic:

"Niangniang, this mutton fat white jade step is dignified and elegant, and it takes advantage of Niangniang's complexion. How about a slave and maid waiting for the maid to change her makeup? ”

Who knew that the queen Xiao Bai shook her head again.

"These pieces of jewelry, this palace did not pick for himself. You have collected it, the palace invited the eldest princess of Ning'an to come to Fengyi Hall in the afternoon to enjoy the maple, and these will be given to the eldest princess of Ning'an. ”

According to the etiquette law, the princes and daughters of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty all opened their palaces at the age of eighteen.

However, Emperor Fu Jingyan's fourth sister, Princess Fu Jingshan of Ning'an, is only sixteen years old now, so she has not yet opened a mansion and still lives in the harem city that never sleeps.

Yan Song was immediately stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to stop it.

Niangniang, why did you want to give Princess Ning An such valuable jewelry?

These jewelry are all top and best objects, in terms of color and style, the slave and maid seem to be more compatible with the mother. ”

Empress Xiao Bai paused slightly.

These objects, in fact, she really likes them, just

So, she still replied gently: "When Your Majesty summoned the palace two days ago, she confessed that she was going to marry Sister Ning An in the near future."

This is the first time that His Majesty has been given a marriage since he ascended the throne, and the palace, as the queen of the middle palace and the mother of the dynasty, naturally wants to assist His Majesty in doing this in a beautiful and decent manner. ”

Yan Song was stunned.

"Your Majesty wants to give marriage to the eldest princess of Ning'an? However, the eldest princess of Pingyang is not married yet, why did His Majesty betrothal the eldest princess of Ning'an first? ”

Yan Songnai is the queen's wife, and he is the son of the Bai family.

Her parents, brothers and sisters are now working in Minghe and Zhaoge's Bai Mansion, and the whole family is the most loyal to the Minghe Bai family.

The two eldest princesses, who have half of the Bai family's blood, are naturally regarded as their own half masters by the Bai family's slaves.

At this time, hearing that the eldest princess of Pingyang had not yet promised to be married, but the younger sister of the eldest princess of Ning'an wanted the latecomer to get the honor of being married by His Majesty, Yan Song naturally felt uncomfortable.

even felt that His Majesty was beating them Minghe Baishi.

The queen Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and taught her:

"Your Majesty's handling of things naturally has Your Majesty's reasoning. You are just a harem lady, how can you understand the chaotic entanglements in the court. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Baishi sighed softly.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has worked hard for the sake of Tianchen's super-stable and conscientious nights, but unfortunately he has suffered from the lack of people in the army who can help him, and he has been constrained by powerful lords and local forces."

Yan Song was selected to marry the queen Xiao Bai, in addition to being the queen's self-respecting person who had been by the queen's side since she was in the boudoir, but also because she was also alert and intelligent.

Hearing the queen's words at this time, Yan Song immediately understood the emperor's worries, but she was still very puzzled.

"Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't understand, how can Your Majesty lack people available in the army? His Majesty's mother family, but the world-famous Xunyang Xie family. ”

How can such a mother family be unavailable?
