Concubine Nian stared at the piece of paper for a long time, but she did not have another attack. She just murmured: "I have actually thought about it before, thinking about promoting this auspicious nobleman so that she can give birth to a child, so that I can give birth to a child."
He took him as his own child and raised it under his knees... He was so confused that he was so confused!"
She paused, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said word by word: "I underestimated her."
Mao Bi took the small jade hammer from the hand of the palace maid Zhuyu and whispered: "Get out."
Zhuyu hesitated slightly, but when Concubine Nian didn't say anything, she handed the small jade hammer to Maobin, bowed her knees and stepped back, then called all the maids serving around her to get down, and finally closed the door of Nuan Pavilion gently.
Maobin watched the slaves go out, then took off the silver carved armor, put it on the carved red sandalwood table next to her with a "ding" sound.
She stretched out a pair of thin hands, and while gently squeezing Concubine Nian's shoulders, she bowed to Concubine Nian's ear and whispered: "Concubine, look... It's not my fault at all, this little
A noble man with no background, no appearance, and no talent, unexpectedly managed to attract the emperor! Who could have imagined this?"
When Mao Bi said this, she paused and looked at Concubine Nian's face quietly before continuing: "When I was in the mansion, for such a long time, except for the current Queen of Fujin, there was no one else in the entire mansion who could
Go beyond the empress! But looking at the situation in the Yang Palace at the front...".
"Alas!" Mao Bi sighed sadly, increased the strength on his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, you really can't underestimate the enemy. If the emperor continues to visit Ji Guiji every two days like now, then Ji Guiji is a
If you are young and easy to have children, there is no guarantee that you will become pregnant one day! When the time comes, depending on the price of your child, your mother may be able to compete with you.”
When Concubine Nian heard the word "pregnant", her eyes showed a trace of pain.
When she heard the words "On par with you, the empress", the muscles on Concubine Nian's shoulders suddenly tightened, she slammed the table and scolded Maobin: "Don't even think about it!".
Her chest heaved a few times, and she said bitterly: "The emperor is also confused! The father of noble Lord Naji is just a ceremonial officer, from a small family... he couldn't be more humble! How can he compare with my background?
Than? This noble nobleman is only slightly better than the concubine of the previous dynasty!"
Maobin's expression changed greatly, and she immediately knelt down and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say! How big a crime is it to slander the Queen Mother? Even if the Queen Mother has passed away, the words of your Majesty today must not be leaked in front of others.
!".
Concubine Nian glanced at her and said angrily: "Maobin, the older you get, the less courageous you become. Look, I scare you! I'm just talking about it, just to relieve my anger!".
Mao Bi shook her head repeatedly, looked at Concubine Nian and just sighed.
After a long while, she slowly said: "It's naturally good that your Majesty can be vigilant now. However, everything needs to be considered in the long run. If you want to suppress that noble man, you must have a reason. You can't just find a small mistake and get angry.
If the attack fails, the emperor will feel that the empress is even more domineering, and the empress' situation will become even more unfavorable."
Mao Bi took a breath, walked a few steps, and turned around and said, "What's more, I see that the Queen has been intending to cultivate noble people from the very beginning."
Concubine Nian snorted and said, "That guy from Kunning Palace is quite discerning."
Mao concubine did not answer, but lowered her head and said in deep thought: "Although Ji Gui is young, he is very wary. He is not as easy to attack as Hai Gui. The concubine lives with her in the same palace. Logically speaking, the original
We should get closer! But the nobleman Ji is always very cautious even with the concubine. The concubine looks at it, but the nobleman Zhang from the Yonghe Palace is closer to her than the concubine!"
Concubine Nian was very worried and said: "Why did you get involved with Zhang Guiren again?".
Mao Bi lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. After talking for a long time, she felt a little exhausted. Then she stroked her chest and said, "The two girls are very close to each other, but I'm looking at...that
Zhang Guiren is useless, he is probably just following the wind and trying to cling to you!"
Concubine Nian pondered for a moment and said, "Guiren Zhang is the side character of Concubine Ning Yonghe Palace, right?".
…
The second day of May, Yangxin Hall.
Yin wiped his mouth and threw the towel to the eunuch serving the meal.
The people in the imperial dining room had just taken away the dining table, and soon there would be ministers and servants coming to see him. This was a rare opportunity.
Su Peisheng took advantage of the opportunity, and according to the rules, he put the purses from the East and West twelve palaces according to their positions on a long plate made of red sandalwood and inlaid with a jasper head and a sea dragon pattern, and presented it to Yin.
"Your Majesty!" Su Peisheng held the tray and said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, these are the purses presented by the twelve palaces of the East and West, and they are all on this plate in the hands of the servant! They are made by the ladies themselves, please ask the Emperor
Take a look."
Yin waved his hand and asked him to take it down without even looking at it.
Su Peisheng shrunk his neck, bowed his back and took small steps back.
Normal! Too normal. The emperor's reaction was something he almost expected.
The emperor has never looked carefully at the purses from previous years. Many of the Dragon Boat Festival purses from the first year of Yongzheng are still brand new and are piled in the warehouse without even being opened!
Seeing that he was almost back to the door, Su Peisheng was about to turn around when he heard the emperor say: "Come back!".
Su Peisheng shrank his neck and hurried over holding the tray.
Yin's eyes wandered around the tray for a moment, and he saw that the purses in the tray were of different sizes, and were of a shining precious color. There were red satin embroidered with gold nails and threads in the shape of the auspicious Eight Treasures and Chickens, and there were goose-yellow satin velvet embroidered with bats, gourds, and fairy peaches.
There are patterns, including gold-covered thread zippers embroidered with auspicious dragons, and dark and light yellow two-color Suihai River cliff patterned waist pomegranate-shaped ones... A lot of them are placed together, making them shine.
The most eye-catching thing among them is a light snow-green purse, which is made of emerald green, jade carvings and gold and silver threads, which is full of color and light. Snow-green is a very cool color, so when paired with various luxurious decorations, it looks so so.
Plain colors are also becoming more lively.
There are also bunches of jade leaves on the tassels under this purse, a heavy bunch as decoration...
Yin only glanced at it, then pointed to Su Peisheng and said: "Such gorgeous decorations and exquisite carvings are the end of extravagant customs. I don't like it and order the harem not to make such things in the future."
Su Peisheng agreed, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared all the Dragon Boat Festival items such as gauze, kudzu, fans, fragrant cakes, sachets, sachets, and palaces as rewards to each palace. We are just waiting for the Emperor's word.
Send it to the various palaces!".
Yin didn't say anything. He searched for it in the tray, and suddenly an imperceptible smile flashed across his face.
He reached out and picked up an inconspicuous little purse.
The purse was a deep dark blue, plain in color, without any decoration, except for a small crescent crescent slantedly embroidered with silver thread on the upper right corner.
The middle of the crescent moon is not filled in, which shows that the person sewing the purse is very clumsy with his needlework.
Yin squeezed it and felt that there seemed to be something else in his purse. He opened the bag and shook it in his palm.
