Chapter 33: The Gift of the Concubine
As soon as he returned to the house, Chu Fuyan said that he needed to report something to his father and left. Leave Lin Qingwan alone to rest in the room.
Looking at the room, it was still full of festive atmosphere. I can't help but think that I actually got married.
Holding the teacup, he had just brought it to his lips, and before he could take a sip, he heard the bronze sparrow hurrying into the house.
"Miss, someone from the palace has arrived. It's a concubine. "The bronze finch was running in a hurry, and his breath was not even even. The belly was undulating so loudly that even the bell on the small accessory on his chest swayed.
After a while, a palace maid took the lead into Lin Qingwan's room, followed by a group of palace maids. In his hands, he is holding a delicately carved brocade box.
The palace maid who was the leader wore more gorgeous clothes than the other palace maids, and she had more accessories on her body. I saw her holding a pair of shelves, and said arrogantly, "These are some gifts specially prepared by Concubine Wan for Mrs. Chu." Be careful, I hope Mrs. Chu likes it. ”
Lin Qingwan raised his eyes, his gaze fell on the direction indicated by the palace maid's hand, and he couldn't help but sneer, these things are also worthy of being carefully selected. What Chu Fuyan gave casually was more than many times better than what Wan Concubine gave.
Seeing that there was no response, the palace maid turned around and walked to one end, only to see the two little palace maids at the bottom of the line holding a few brightly colored and finely crafted satins in both hands.
Then he turned his head back to look at Lin Qingwan, and introduced very solemnly, "This is the best silk for tribute, and you can only get five horses a year." ”
The bronze finch stood aside and watched silently, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the silk in the palace maid's hand, and he counted them by the way, there were six horses in total. However, she saw a difference. There were two varieties of the six satins. Whether others know it or not, she doesn't care, but after Lin Qingwan's **, she can see at a glance that those satins are different. I secretly sighed in my heart, Miss must have seen it before her.
The master and servant continued to be silent, and the palace maid saw that there was no oil or water to fish, and planned to retreat after completing the last procedure.
The palace maid turned around, straightened her body, raised her head slightly, as if she was looking at things with her nose again, and said proudly, "These are the rewards of the concubine and the maid, and let the slave maid give a message, I wish Mrs. Chu an auspicious marriage, a good relationship with the prince of Chu for a hundred years, and an early birth of a noble son." ”
Seeing that Lin Qingwan was indifferent and didn't say a word, the bronze bird who was following him didn't come over to do superficial work. The palace maid was a little angry in her heart, snorted coldly, turned around and took people away, "Hmph." ”
The palace maids went out of the room, and the little palace maids who followed behind hurriedly found a place to put down the brocade box in their hands, turned around and chased them out.
When everyone left the room, Lin Qingwan said without raising his eyelids, "Tongque, open it and take a look." ”
"Yes, miss. Bronze Bird obeyed the order, walked to the table in a few steps, and opened the few brocade boxes that were not favored with a few efforts.
The brocade box opened, and Lin Qingwan glanced at it obliquely. He sneered and said, "Bronze sparrows, throw them out." ”
I saw that the brocade box was full of eye-catching jewelry, but she didn't need it. And she doesn't like concubines either.
Now that she is Chu Fuyan's wife, some things are naturally easy to obtain. Therefore, for these disdainful things, at this moment, Lin Qingwan didn't pay attention to them at all. It's valuable, but it's an eyesore.
"Yes, miss. "The bronze finch is indeed loyal, and she never has to question the words of the young lady. Whatever the young lady says, she is right. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the young lady did not miss it.
Tongque went outside and summoned a few maidservants and servants to come in, and four or five people brought out the brocade boxes on the table one by one.
Walking to the gate of the mansion, Tongque found that the palace maid had not gone far, and loudly ordered everyone to throw away all the things in their hands. "Quick, throw it all away. ”
The palace maid couldn't help but look back curiously when she heard the voice. I happened to see the maidservant and the servant throwing the brocade box and silk in their hands on the ground.
The bronze finch still clapped his hands, pretending to be very dirty, and looked full of disgust, and said with pickiness and disgust in his mouth, "Hmph, what are these things, don't open your eyes to take a good look, my young lady is naturally beautiful, and the country is beautiful." The person who was held in the palm of my uncle's hand. How can these little things be worthy of my young lady. ”
Standing at the gate of the Chu Mansion, the bronze bird crossed his waist, tilted his head proudly, squinted at the palace maid with his residual vision, and said extremely arrogantly.
When the palace maid heard this, she was so angry that she stomped her feet, and she couldn't attack here. I had to try to restrain myself and endure the anger in my heart. Indignantly, he turned his head and left, scolding secretly, "Phew, what are these things?" Don't look at who my mother is. A bunch of shameless guys, shameless to face, it's really ......"
The palace maid was angry, cursing and babbling, the anger in her eyes was soaring, and those eyes seemed to be devouring. The little palace maid on the side didn't dare to speak, but dared to follow her from a distance.
They have seen this kind of thing a lot. But I didn't expect it to happen to my master. There are still people who dare not to give face to Concubine Wan, it is really unreasonable.
watched the palace maid leave, and it was not until these annoying people completely disappeared that the bronze bird took the people back to the house.
Two hours later, it was already a quarter of the hour. At this time, the palace maid took people back to the palace of Wan Concubine Niangniang.
In the courtyard, the concubine was enjoying the shade of the tree, and there was a plate of snacks and two plates of fruit on the small table. There is also a pot of flower tea.
Seeing that his personal palace maid was back, he didn't wait for her to ask. The palace maid spit out the bitter water herself.
"The slave and maid pay a visit to the concubine. The palace maid was already so angry that she didn't notice the figure of the fourth prince Lu Xian next to her. opened her mouth and shouted straight to the Chu Mansion, what did Lin Qingwan do to her.
"Niangniang, you don't know, that Lin Qingwan is too arrogant. She even said that the gifts prepared by her mother were cheap and shoddy, and they were not worthy of her. I didn't give a good face at all. ”
"As soon as the slave maid walked to the door of the Chu Mansion, she actually asked her maid Tongque to throw away all the gifts carefully selected by you, Niangniang. It is simply unreasonable, a great rebellion, and the sin is unforgivable. ”
The palace maid knelt there and didn't get up, and reported what she had seen and heard to the concubine Niangniang.
"Get up. Wan Concubine Niangniang looked at her personal maid and was angry for herself, those little eyes were already wrapped in tears, as long as she blinked her eyes, the tears would overflow and flow down unstoppably.
At this time, Lu Xian, who was sitting on the side, could see that Concubine Wan was also angry in her heart. Inevitably, this anger accidentally hurt himself, and continued to follow the palace maid's words. did not relented at all because of his friendship with Lin Qingwan's childhood sweetheart.
"Mother, this thing can't be endured, she is too blind to no one. Lu Xian took out the fan pinned to the waist seal from his waist and unfolded it with a "click".
At this time, the palace maid found that Lu Xian was also there, and hurriedly knelt down to meet him, and confessed, "The slave maid meets the four princes and wishes the prince good health." The slave and maid were guilty, and they forgot to salute the prince in a moment of anxiety. It is not the one who asks the prince to forgive the slave and the maid. ”
The palace maid "banged" and knelt in front of Lu Xian. changed the speaking style of Ai Ai just now, and the words were all respectful to the fourth prince Lu Xian.
Watching the palace maid tremble slightly because of her fear, her shoulders trembled slightly. It looked like a mouse caught by a cat, not eaten in one bite, but left to play with.
Lu Xian, who was in a good mood, didn't want to punish anyone today. So, with great compassion, he said, "All right, get up." You are the most powerful servant girl beside the concubine, and I dare not do anything to you. ”
"The slave is frightened, thank you for the forgiveness of the four princes. The slave and maid are guilty, and there will be no next time. The palace maid panicked and cautiously responded to the trap of Lu Xian's obvious words.
"Mother, it's not good to dissipate your anger, it's not good if you're angry. ”
Lu Xian leaned over the fan, shook it gently, and analyzed it to Concubine Wan with his head in a respectful manner. "Mother, this little girl is right, that Lin Qingwan is so rebellious, she doesn't give us any face. We don't have to hold back on her. She was not favored in the Lin family. It is estimated that when we arrive at the Chu family, we don't have to worry about anything. ”
The concubine, who was already angry, was even more angry when the fourth prince said this. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. This Lin Qingwan simply doesn't know what to do. "Hmph, today's events, this palace has written down. The day to come, she will be held accountable for what she has said today. ”
Lin Qingwan's act of throwing away the reward in public has successfully angered Wan Concubine, and at this moment, with the continued surging anger in Wan Concubine's eyes, there are already many strategies in her heart that make Lin Qingwan die well.
Seeing that Concubine Wan was so angry that she was like smoke, Lu Xian, who was a son, was not comforted, and kept fanning the flames to make her angry, and she didn't know what dirty thoughts were hidden in her heart.
"You stand down, you all take care of your mouths, do you know what to say and what not to say?" Lu Xian, who was shaking a fan, raised his eyes to look at the palace maid, and shocked her with sharp eyes.
"Yes, slaves and maids obey the teachings. Let the people below keep their mouths shut. The palace maid was shocked by Lu Xian's innate powerful aura. She knew what Lu Xian was trying to emphasize.
Today's events, there must be a lot of people who have seen them, if you don't care about the following, let this matter drift out, then how can the face of the concubine Niangniang exist.
Let the other people in the palace think of them.
It is not so much that the palace maid is thoroughly dialed, it is better to say that the palace maid is also well-informed and insightful.
"The slave and maid are gone. The palace maid stepped back and immediately went to gather all the palace maids and eunuchs who went to Chu Mansion together today, and explained the matter to everyone straightforwardly.
In this huge palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, there are some things you must understand. Or rather, you have to know some rules of survival in order to survive here.
