Qixi was fascinated by what she heard and held Ji Ling's ankles to help her put on her embroidered shoes.
Ji Ling was about to continue talking when he looked up and saw Bi Xue lifting the curtain and saying with a smile that someone from the imperial court had arrived, holding something. It was probably that the emperor had another reward for Ji Guiji.
Qixi grinned, but couldn't help but use a lot of force with her hand, and pinched a tendon in Ji Ling's ankle.
Good guy! It hurt so much that Ji Ling wrinkled his nose and blurted out: "Oh!"
Qixi was startled: "Master, please forgive me, but this slave is too harsh!" After saying this, he knelt down.
Ji Ling took her arm, asked her to stand up, and said warmly: "We don't have to do this in our own room."
After she finished speaking, she held Qixi's arm and walked out, only to see that the person outside who had brought the emperor's reward was none other than Xiao Chenzi.
Xiao Chenzi also raised his head and saw Ji Ling coming out. He opened his sleeves to salute. Ji Ling quickly said: "No courtesy, Eunuch Chen!"
Xiao Chenzi heard about Concubine Ning's incident yesterday, and also knew that Zhang Guiren was on good terms with Ji Guiren, and that the emperor went to Yonghe Palace with Ji Guiren accompanying him.
All kinds of things were mixed together. He had followed Su Peisheng for a long time. He had seen the ups and downs of the concubines in the palace. Naturally, he had thoroughly thought about the situation and future trends in his mind.
Xiao Chenzi just bowed and smiled and said: "Thanks to the noble nobleman, I can call you Eunuch Chen! The slave is so flattered that the nobleman spares the servant's courtesy. It is the nobleman's affection. However, the slave cannot ignore the good and the bad. He cares for himself and breaks the rules."
"After saying that, he still knelt down.
When Ji Ling saw him like this, he didn't force himself, so he smiled and said, "Eunuch Chen is here today. Does the emperor have any orders?" After speaking, he glanced back.
Behind Xiao Chenzi stood two young eunuchs, one of them holding an ebony box with gold inlay and a lobster box in his hand. At this time, he smiled and said: "I am sending you two newly made snuff bottles at the request of the emperor. The emperor said
Yes, this thing is very exquisite, and the noble man will definitely like the pattern on it."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs stepped forward and presented the box. Evian and Bixue looked at each other with a smile, then walked forward, one each, and hugged it.
Ji Ling muttered in his heart: Snuff bottle? Fourth Master, give me this... Do I need this?
Well, no matter what it is, it’s Yin’s idea after all!
She raised her head, smiled at Xiao Chenzi and said: "The emperor's wishes, as long as I receive it as a reward from the emperor, no matter what it is, I like it very much!"
Gillington paused, then smiled politely and said, "I'd like to take a trip, Mr. Chen."
After saying that, she turned around and motioned to Qixi to get the reward purse.
Xiao Chenzi quickly stopped Qixi, with a frightened and shy look on his face, and said: "The noble is so polite! It's not like I have never rewarded the slave before. I'm ashamed to say that the slave has not done anything for the noble. The noble always has such a big purse and a small purse."
Reward, no matter how thick-skinned this slave is, he has no shame to take it!
He swallowed, bowed and raised his head and said with a smile: "In short, if you have any errands from now on, the noble will just ask the people around you to order the slave! As long as a slave can do it, the slave will work hard to do it for the noble."
Safe and sound!"
After leaving Jingyang Palace, Xiao Chenzi looked back at the door of the east courtyard with emotion, and asked himself: Can I get this purse?
You can't take it! Only a fool would dare to take it!
Ji Gui is a generous person, and he always tries to make things right. From the first time she was tricked by the emperor, he accepted her reward purse without any mercy or politeness.
Even when she was just made a noble person by the Jin Dynasty, he didn't give much away from her.
In the Yangxin Hall, the young eunuchs behind the scenes were all gossiping, saying that Mr. Chen was greedy for money, and it was not like he had never heard of this rumor.
But he is really short of money!
The big house in my hometown is waiting to be built, and all the money saved is just like the bricks, tiles, plants and trees of the house?
Xiao Chenzi has already thought about it: when he saves enough capital, he will immediately spend money to get a beautiful wife to come back to warm the kang. Although he is a broken man, as long as he has money in hand, he can always marry him.
Arrived.
Aren't all old eunuchs like this in the past?
With another cheap son, the family of three can live happily!
But Jingyang Palace cannot accept this money.
Seeing Ji Guiren's recent momentum, when has the emperor ever been so interested in a woman?
Approving memorials, meeting ministers... In the morning, the emperor was obviously so busy that he was almost on his back, but he still remembered these two small snuff bottles in his heart.
Come and give it to the auspicious nobleman.
Xiao Chenzi put his hands behind his back and thought as he walked: The emperor is the emperor, but he is also a man of flesh and blood.
Although the eunuch is not a man physically, he is still a man mentally.
Men naturally understand men best; men naturally understand men better.
The emperor unknowingly had real feelings for Mr. Ji!
It was a dry summer, and a thorn on Xiao Chenzi's finger pierced his flesh.
Xiao Chenzi clasped his hands behind his back and shivered in pain. He cursed in a low voice, raised his hand to his mouth, and bit off the flesh thorn with saliva.
The east side courtyard of Jingyang Palace, the inner room.
Qixi carefully opened the two ebony boxes with gold inlay and presented them to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling took a quick look and knew why Yin sent someone to deliver these two snuff bottles.
It’s so beautiful!
Although she didn't have the habit of using snuff, such a beautiful thing could just be placed on the dressing table as a decoration.
How could you not like it!
Of the two snuff bottles, one is a black enamel snuff bottle with colorful flowing clouds and jade rabbits and autumn fragrance patterns, and the other is a pink enamel snuff bottle with peonies and flowers.
The one with the jade rabbit painted with five-color flowing clouds on black enamel: Although the background color is black, the black is extremely transparent, almost a kind of smudged gray, which is very elegant.
From bottom to top, the nebulae gradually become denser, like the stars in the night, or like the wind blowing back into the snow.
The Jade Rabbit is a light cherry pink color and is chubby. One of its two ears is erect and the other is slightly drooped. It looks as if it is about to jump out of the snuff bottle wall. It is so cute that you want to hug it.
Come out and raise.
The color combination of another pink enamel snuff bottle with peony flowers is also very dreamy. The lower layer is a light crabapple red, and the color becomes lighter and lighter as it goes up, finally turning into an almost transparent milky white.
The peony flowers above are painted with silver, and the petals, stamens, leaves... are all lifelike.
Peony is originally a flower of grace and wealth. When painted in silver, the peony is not less graceful, but it loses a bit of wealth. Instead, it has a unique sense of elegance.
The most finishing touch is the bottle cap, which is begonia red and echoes the color of the bottom of the snuff bottle. It is an embellishment.
…
In the evening, Yangxin Hall.
Yin finally finished his day's work on government affairs and had just taken a sip of pumpkin and duck porridge. This was his second meal of the day besides breakfast.
While drinking, he listened to Xiao Chenzi standing in front of him with a smile on his face and repeating Ji Guiren's reply.
"Back to the emperor, Ji Guiren said: 'As long as it is a reward from the emperor, she likes it no matter what!'
The servant also looked at Mr. Ji and fell in love with the two snuff bottles on the spot!"
