Chapter Eighty-Eighth
In the early morning of the next day, Li Sui got up early, packed up and headed towards Queen Yang's bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, Queen Yang had already stood up and was sitting in front of the dressing table. Gamo behind her was doing her hairpin. Because it was already late autumn, what Jiamo picked up at this moment was a deep red peony piled on silk. It was so bright in color that it was hard to tell whether it was genuine or not.
Through the mirror, Queen Yang noticed Li Sui entering, and immediately smiled and stretched out her hand. Li Sui stepped forward and handed his hand to Queen Yang and said: "I thought I would come early today so that I could accompany Jiamo to serve Sister and get up. Unexpectedly, It’s still a little late.”
When Queen Yang heard this, she squeezed her hand and then said with a smile: "It's just a normal day. Yesterday, Yue Zhaoyi entered the palace. Today is the first time she has come to the Li Zheng Palace to pay her respects. I always have to get up early. There is no sense in asking people to wait for a long time."
"Yue Zhaoyi?"
Sensing Li Sui's questioning voice, Queen Yang nodded, looked sideways at Li Sui and said, "People came to the saint's side early in the morning to report. When the saint left Lingqi Hall today, he had given Zhaoyi a title, and now it is Yue Zhao. That’s it.”
After saying that, Queen Yang didn't seem to notice anything. Instead, she reached out her hand and stroked the peony hairpin beside her ear. She looked at Li Sui with a gentle smile and said, "Do you think the hairpin is like this?"
Seeing Queen Yang's soft eyes, Li Sui couldn't figure out how a generous woman could remain calm when facing the person she loved so much and favored another person. All of this was just hidden in her heart and she went alone. Just bear it.
Thinking of this, Li Sui felt depressed in his heart, but there was no sign of it on his face. Instead, he followed Empress Yang's words, lifted her up and looked at her carefully and said: "This is called the Sixth Palace Pink and Dai have no color."
Hearing Li Sui's deliberate flattery, Empress Yang smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, then turned her head to look at Jiamo and said, "Has breakfast been laid out?"
Hearing this, Jiamo quickly smiled and said: "It's all set. I guessed that the princess is coming today, so I ordered the small kitchen to be filled with the princess' usual favorites."
"No one has finer hair than Shang Gong."
Li Sui smiled at Jiamo and supported Queen Yang to leave. After walking a few steps, he saw that Queen Yang seemed to suddenly think of something. She turned to look at Jiamo and said, "Yesterday Yue Zhaoyi came in." Palace, Shangguan Zhaoyi has made her a concubine again, please go to the warehouse to see if there are any good things to give as gifts to the two of her, which can be regarded as congratulations to the two of them."
After hearing what Empress Yang said, before Jiamo could nod his head, Li Sui thought for a moment and said: "Women like brocade ornaments so much, it would be better to give them these. Although they are quite satisfactory, they are also cheap."
Seeing Li Sui reminding her like this, Queen Yang naturally understood the deeper meaning. This palace is unlike any other place. If you give away everything, you are afraid that others will be malicious and use their hands and feet to do it. Then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Queen Yang nodded while thinking, then looked at Jiamo and said, "Just prepare as the princess said."
Jiamo immediately went down after hearing the words. When Li Sui was supporting Queen Yang to eat, he just called Niannu to come forward and gave a few instructions quietly. The next moment Niannu left with a clear smile and walked towards Jiamo Went.
After finishing the meal, the concubines of each palace were waiting in the middle hall as if they had calculated the time. At this time, Jiamo had also prepared two exquisitely carved mahogany boxes, and the maids behind him were also waiting for them. He held two mahogany trays, and on the trays was the newly delivered brocade.
Empress Yang stepped forward and reached out to stroke two pieces of satin. One piece was clear in color and looked elegant, but if you look closely, you can see that the workmanship is complicated and meticulous, which is absolutely extraordinary, while the other piece was bright in color and was made of genuine materials.
The gold thread is embroidered bit by bit, eye-catching and dazzling.
Empress Yang nodded with satisfaction, and just now she looked at the two small boxes again. She saw that lying quietly on the velvet in one of the boxes was a double phoenix golden walking wave with layers of silk and beads. The beads on it could be seen at a glance.
There are two shiny and clear southern pearls. Although they are only as big as thumbs, everyone knows that southern pearls are
Pearls are precious, and one imperial tribute of such color is rare, let alone two. And when I opened the other box, it contained only a golden phoenix and gemstone hairpin. Although it was also a rare luxury, no matter what.
Compared with the Nanzhu Double Phoenix Hairpin, you can always see some differences.
Realizing that Queen Yang seemed a little hesitant, Li Sui on the side didn't understand Queen Yang's worries, but just glanced at the things on the tray, and instead stepped forward to hold Queen Yang's arm and said with a smile: "Shang Gong has good taste.
Although Zhaoyi and Concubine Shu have different statuses and have their own customs, these rewards are both precious and unparalleled, match their personalities and preferences, and are in line with palace regulations and etiquette, so I think it is excellent."
Seeing what Li Sui said, Queen Yang suddenly understood. She was afraid that this "idea" must be the idea of the young lady beside her, but according to Li Sui's words, it was correct. Queen Yang said nothing more and nodded.
, then he was supported by Li Sui and walked towards the middle hall.
Coming to the middle hall, because the earth dragon was burned, I felt warm as spring when I walked in. The hall was already filled with concubines, and the only ones on the left and right were the current concubine Shangguan and the newly promoted concubines.
Yue Zhaoyi. A person dressed simply and elegantly, dignified and reserved at the moment, pursed her lips and listened.
Everyone smiled at the compliments, but as expected, Yue Zhaoyi was still wearing a brand new water-red palace dress. Suddenly she changed into the makeup of a Dazhou woman, and she became more beautiful and charming. At this moment, she was like a proud peacock with her head held high.
She seemed quite disapproving of Concubine Shu opposite her.
"Your Highness the Queen, Changle Weiyang."
When everyone saw Queen Yang entering the room, they all jingled their rings and immediately stood up to salute. It wasn't until Queen Yang agreed with a smile that they sat back down.
After waiting for Queen Yang to sit down, Li Sui stepped aside and said nothing. He only watched Queen Yang talking to the concubines. After about half a cup of tea, Queen Yang took a timely look at the lady sitting down below.
Concubine Shu and Yue Zhaoyi couldn't help but have lips as soft as the bright moon.
He said with a smile: "Yesterday was a good day for Concubine Shu and Zhaoyi, so I picked out some satisfactory things to give to you. It was also a congratulation to you two. I only hope that Concubine Shu, Zhaoyi and everyone here can be happy in the future.
It’s better to live in harmony and work together to spread the branches and leaves of the saint.”
Hearing Queen Yang's expectations, everyone stood up and saluted with a delicate look on their faces. The next moment, under Jiamo's eyes, two rows of palace ladies walked down and placed the gifts in front of Concubine Shu and Yue Zhaoyi.
Everyone saw the brocade on the tray with envy. This scene naturally fell in Yue Zhaoyi's eyes. At this moment, she felt satisfied and immediately ordered someone to put on the hairpin for her, rushing to face Yang in front of Concubine Shu.
The queen said: "Thank you very much, sister queen."
Seeing Yue Zhaoyi, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling like crescent moons. She was so frank and cute. Empress Yang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not correct the irregularity in her address. The next moment, Concubine Shu's golden hairpin with double phoenix and southern pearls was displayed in front of everyone.
hear the crowd
People were surprised and envious, and then listened to the whispers of the people around them. Na Yue Zhaoyi stared at the hairpin, and immediately understood something in her heart. Her face suddenly felt bad, as if someone had robbed her beloved thing, and she hated it.
