Chapter 8: Gift Giving
Seeing Lian stopped coming back, Su Ying asked, "Princess, those palace servants and servants have only asked them to do some cleaning for the time being. I wonder what the princess has plans?"
"Let that person named Wen He and you three serve me in front of me. Let the others do some rough work first and see how many days it will be made." Lian Zhi ordered.
Su Ying didn't understand the difference between Wen He, but since Lian Zhi had given the order, she did as she did.
"Also, let the people in Yuyang Palace be more low-key these days, just clean up and calm down for a few more days. I guess I will not be able to calm down in a few days."
"yes."
Lian Zhi sneered in his heart. Since he likes to stuff people into her so much, if he doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it ruin the "good intentions" of those people?
Lianzhi expected that it was not bad. He had indeed stopped in the past few days, but not long after he had just finished packing in Yuyang Palace, the princes and princesses really came to the door.
"This Yuyang Palace looks much better than this princess." Wen Miqing said this as soon as she entered the door. She seemed to have forgotten what was threatened by Lian Zhi that night, and Lian Zhi did not mention that matter again.
"Thank you, Princess Miqing, for coming to see me specially." Lian Ji replied.
Wen Miqing gave the gift, and then Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu also presented the gift: "I originally wanted to invite my fifth brother to come together, but my fifth brother and sixth sister had to accompany him because of the poor health of Concubine Shu, so they couldn't come here."
The fifth prince Wen Zhilan and the sixth princess Wen Yunxi are the biological children of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is ill, so she must accompany Concubine Shu more.
Wen Zhiyan added: "But the fifth brother asked me to bring him and his sixth sister's gift."
The gifts will not be given in front of Lian Zhi, but Su Yue and Su Ying have already recorded them specifically.
Su Yue and Su Ying went to register the gift list, so the ones who stayed in the hall were Su Qing and Wen He. Wen Zhiyu glanced at Wen He: "It seems that this palace maid was not brought by Princess Wan Yang from Dongxia, right?"
"It was specially selected by the Eunuch's Mansion. When I saw that she was smart and smart, I stayed by my side to serve her."
After Lianzhi said this, Wen Zhiyan changed the topic: "If Princess Wanyang lacks anything, you must say it out. I met my mother early this morning, and the mother specifically told me to take care of you more. It would be not easy for you to come to Xichu alone."
"Thank you for your care." Lian Zhi finished speaking, and saw Wen Miqing looking around. Wen Zhiyu blamed him, "Miqing, what are you looking at?"
Wen Miqing pretended to be puzzled: "I thought that Princess Wanyang is the future princess, and if it comes to care, it is also considered that the third brother is more careful of her. Why are we all here today and we are not seeing her? Then I remembered that at the dinner that day, the third brother was very satisfied with Princess Wanyang, and felt that it might be one step ahead of us, hiding inside to scare us! So I just looked around and where did the third brother hide?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is busy with affairs, so we idle people are not as good as us." Lian Zhi replied lightly.
Wen Miqing covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this: "It turns out that the third brother didn't come."
Wen Zhiyu also fanned the flames: "If I am the third brother, no matter how busy I am, I will come here to take this trip."
Lian Zhi was about to say something when he heard Wen Zhiyuan's voice coming from outside the door: "I am indeed no longer able to walk around every day than the two emperors, but the second brother said that it is right. Even if I am busy, I will still come this trip."
Wen Zhiyuan walked in. Wen Zhiyu and Wen Miqing's faces looked a little bad, but Wen Zhiyu was extremely concealed, but it was fleeting, but Wen Miqing never paid attention to these: "It's really time for the third brother to come."
"Su Qing, give me tea." Lian Zhi ordered.
Su Qing brought the tea, and Wen Zhiyuan took a sip: "This tea seems to be Chen tea. The Queen is so careful, but she didn't expect that there would be such omissions."
Wen Zhiyan's smile remained unchanged: "The queen mother has to worry about too many things all day long, and it is common sense to omit some places. But why didn't Princess Wanyang mention it? We came just now and before we could have a sip of tea, the third brother discovered it first."
Lianzhi rubbed the tea cover for a moment: "This princess thought it was a bit out of mind. She thought that the new tea this year had not been available yet, so there were all old tea in the palace. Unexpectedly, it was the Queen's omission. After all, this omission has never happened in Dongxia. How could this princess have thought that it would happen in Xichu Palace?"
Wen Zhiyan was whispered by Lian Zhi, and his smile was a little reluctant: "The things in the harem of Xichu are complicated. I heard that the harem of Dongxia are very leisurely. Today, I know that Princess Wanyang said this, so I know a little about it."
"I think that if the Empress can handle this complicated harem affairs in an orderly manner without any omissions, the Empress can show her extraordinary abilities, right?"
Wen Zhiyan felt that Lian Zhi was a little ignorant. He just wanted to get this matter over, but Lian Zhi still held it tightly, a little annoying. He glanced at Wen Miqing, and Wen Miqing understood what he meant: "Third Brother, what gift did you bring to Princess Wanyang today? Why don't we open our eyes?"
"Aren't the gifts registered and put into the warehouse? Princess Wanyang can know it by herself. If the fourth sister is curious, you can stay and take a look with Princess Wanyang later." Wen Zhiyuan replied, "But the fourth sister also reminded me that there is indeed something that I have to hand over to Princess Wanyang in person, and I hope Princess Wanyang likes it."
Wen Zhiyuan said as he took out a small long box from his arms and handed it to Lianzhi. Lianzhi took the long box and looked at Wen Zhiyuan. Before Wen Zhiyuan could say anything, Wen Miqing had already begun to urge: "Princess Wanyang, please open it quickly and take a look."
Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu also looked over, and the lotus tide could only be opened. The purpose was to be jade-colored shaking. The silver-white flower carvings on it were clearly visible, and the tassels were also unique and magical.
With such exquisite stunning stun, even Wen Miqing, who was used to seeing good things, could not take his eyes off her. Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu were also attracted. Lian Zhi looked at Wen Zhiyuan in surprise. Wen Zhiyuan smiled slowly at her, with a bit of joke: "Do you like it?"
Lian Zhi saw a bit of solemnity in Wen Zhiyuan's eyes. She suddenly remembered the situation when she returned the hairpin to Wen Zhiyuan that night. Today he gave her another step-shaking line. What does it mean?
"The hairpin is indeed not suitable for you, this step is good." As if seeing Lian Zhi's doubts, Wen Zhiyuan added.
Wen Miqing came to her senses: "What hairpin?"
"It's nothing, I just think Princess Wanyang is more suitable for Buyao." Wen Zhiyuan's explanation made Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu stunned. Buyao is more precious than hairpins, and the person wearing Buyao has a noble status. Now Wen Zhiyuan thinks Lianzhi is more suitable for Buyao. How much does he mean?
Wen Miqing didn't have that much thought: "The third brother has such a good thing, and I have never seen the third brother take it out before. As expected, I still like Princess Wanyang more."
"It was just obtained two days ago. The timing was clever, otherwise it would not be given." Wen Zhiyuan explained.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble. I like it very much." Lianzhi wanted Su Qing to take it, but Wen Zhiyu spoke: "Since it was given to me by my third brother, why not let my third brother wear it for Princess Wanyang, how about it?"
Wen Zhiyu wanted to test Wen Zhiyuan. Lian Zhi did not wait for Wen Zhiyuan to answer, so he said first: "No need, right?"
"I think that my second brother's words are reasonable." Wen Zhiyuan stood up and walked to Lian Zhi's side under the gaze of everyone. Lian Zhi wanted to say no, but just after she moved, Wen Zhiyuan stretched out her left hand and pressed her shoulder, "Princess Wanyang doesn't need to worry too much."
Lian Zhi heard Wen Zhiyuan say this and could only sit still. Wen Zhiyuan stretched out his right hand to pick up the Bu Yao. He thought for a while, as if he was considering where the hairpin was suitable, so he carefully put Bu Yao into her hair.
Then Wen Zhiyuan took two steps back and admired, "Not bad."
Lianzhi did not wear a gorgeous hairpin today, and looked a little simple, but after putting on that shaking, it seemed to be eye-catching all of a sudden.
