Chapter 117, The Queen Mother's Guidance (3/4)
Madam Rui held a brocade box with mud gold cloud patterns in both hands and held it to the Empress Dowager.
The queen mother opened the box with a smile. There was a pair of red and golden bracelets inlaid with southern beads. The pearls were huge and brilliant, round and flawless, with a big thumb and a big belly. The bracelet was surrounded by strings of green melon-shaped melon-shaped patterns, and the big pearl was at the junction of the head and tail.
The so-called melons are full of large and small melons on a vine, which is the beauty of the prosperity of descendants.
The Empress Dowager looked a little sad, "This pair of golden loofah bracelets were rewarded by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang when the Ai family was named Depeng." The Empress Dowager paused briefly, looked at Zhenpeng, and said, "Today, the Ai family will reward you."
Yao Jiaxin knelt down in fear and fear, "This pair of bracelets is too expensive, I dare not accept it!" Mom, this pair of bracelets is not only valuable, but also terrifyingly large!
The queen's expression changed instantly. This was the first time that the empress dowager saw Yao Jia, so she was so proud of her kindness! The melon is so sweet? Isn't this just hoping that Yao Jia will get pregnant as soon as possible?! The queen's face looked a little blue.
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "The things taken out by the Ai family have no reason to take them back."
Although the queen mother had a gentle appearance, her tone was undeniable.
Yao Jiaxin dared not refuse anymore. If the queen and the queen mother had to offend one, of course she would choose the queen! So she kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for the reward of the queen mother."
She took the brocade box with both hands.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and sighed: "The emperor is already thirty-three years old, but there are only two princes and one princess under his knees. It is still unknown whether the children in Geng and Niuhulu are boys or girls. Even if they are princes, the emperor's descendants are still too thin after all."
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but be shocked. The empress dowager's words meant that she hoped she would have something to give birth to. The empress dowager told her about these things in front of the empress... I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?
She thought about it again, with the current status of the Queen Mother, why should I care whether the Queen is happy?
Yao Jiaxin said with a panic: "I am nearly thirty years old, and I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will give this pair of bracelets."
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile, "The Ai family was at your age and gave birth to the fourteenth elder."
Yao Jiaxin became even more humble: "The Queen Mother's blessing is profound, how can I compare to the concubines?" - When she was the blessing of birth and raising, the Queen Mother Wu Ya was one of the best even in the Kangxi Dynasty. She was indeed incomparable to this.
The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Zhen's increasingly humble appearance and nodded slightly, "You are very gentle and humble. If you have nothing to do in the future, you might as well come to Cining Palace to talk to Ai's house."
Yao Jiaxin bent her knees and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother, for showing her love."
At this time, the queen who was sitting next to her finally smiled and said, "I am so envious of my sister Yao Concubine with such a green eye."
Sister Yao Concubine? Yao Jiaxin was so fond of goose bumps all over her body when she was called like this queen!
The Queen Mother stroked the silver-wireeded temples, glanced at the queen with her side eyes, and said lightly: "The Queen's words are like jealous."
The queen smiled and said, "As my daughter-in-law, I have always admired you the most, so I naturally hope that the mother of the emperor prefers me." - The queen's words were like a younger generation acting coquettish.
The queen mother raised her eyelids, "Don't worry, you are the queen, no one can surpass you."
"You said yes." The queen smiled like spring and flowers blooming, but her heart was as cold as winter - she could not tolerate anyone in the harem who passed her in the harem!
Yao Jiaxin saw it and said that everyone said that the queen was the most filial to the queen mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious. Now it seems that this is not the case! The queen is generous and expectant, which can be said to be a piercing queen's heart everywhere. The queen was so angry that she could only use words to imply that the queen should not do too much, but she was forced back by the queen mother without being soft or hard.
The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, "The Ai family is exhausted today, you all retreat."
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I will rest assured the emperor's mother."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "No need, the Queen is very hard today, so go back and rest." - Te Te came out in court clothes, and the Ai family felt it was hard to see.
The queen was rejected by the empress dowager, but she never dared to have an attack. She smiled and joked: "Wife, the emperor, has a favorite newcomer, so she doesn't like the old man, me, as a concubine."
The empress dowager raised her eyes and looked at the queen: "What's the point of whether the Ai family is satisfied or not, what's important is whether the emperor is satisfied." - A big drama happened in Qixiang Palace before, and Zhenpin was not only intact, but also had a prosperous favor. Although the queen was clean, the emperor had not been to Jingren Palace for half a month. If the queen was not satisfied with the emperor everywhere, she would not have had a good harvest sooner or later!
The queen's face was stiff. The emperor hadn't visited Jingren Palace for a long time, and this was the most embarrassing and uneasy thing about her.
"This is all the words of Ai's family. How much the queen can understand depends on your own luck." The queen said lightly, then shut up and said no more.
The queen lowered her head and bent her knees: "Thank you, my mom, for your advice."
Yao Jiaxin was stunned. Although the Empress Dowager's words were sarcastic, they were indeed guiding the Queen... It seemed that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was really complicated.
After exiting the main hall of Cining Palace, the bright sunshine shines on your face, warm and warm.
However, the queen's eyes swept over coldly.
Yao Jiaxin lowered her eyebrows and said with a respectful knee, "I'm honored to send the Empress to the Queen."
The queen's tone was extremely gloomy: "Pin Yao was well-behaved and intelligent. She not only praised the emperor's wishes, but also praised the empress dowager. This ability is really envious of the Six Palaces."
Yao Jiaxin complained: Is it envious of you?
Yao Jiaxin smiled slightly: "The most favored by the Queen Mother is not always the Queen Mother-in-law." As an ancient mother-in-law, she didn't cause trouble for her daughter-in-law and even made some suggestions. She is already a rare good mother-in-law. What else do you want? With the favor of His Majesty the Fourth Master, the queen will be sour. With the empress dowager, the queen will be sour!
It's almost gone out of the vinegar tank.
The queen sneered, "Pin Yao, please do it yourself in the future!"
After saying this, the queen turned away.
Yao Jiaxin: Haha, I’m so fucked by yourself.
When she returned to Yongshou Palace, Yao Jiaxin was so hungry that she was screaming. Today's troubles were so exhausted that she was so tired. So she hurriedly ordered the palace maid to take off her complicated and heavy court clothes, put on her refreshing and simple flag clothes, and combed her head. She ordered milk tea and snacks before the time to eat.
The sweet and delicious milk tea is filled with honey red beans and sucked into the mouth in one mouthful. It is really soft, sweet and greasy, with a milky fragrance.
The snacks that are served are osmanthus cakes - made of golden osmanthus from this autumn, which is fragrant and sweet at the top and melts in the mouth.
She was eating snacks when Wang Yicheng bowed in and reported: "Empress, a few little palace maids in Shihua... The little eunuch Tang Yin exposed and reported Xiuyan, and the slave verified it. It was indeed the palace maid named Xiuyan who secretly picked the petals of the phoenix flower and handed them to Cuixiang from Yongshou Palace during the night."
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but feel a little sad. Xiuyan... The names of these little palace maids were all specially rewarded by her. Unexpectedly... there was a traitor - no, maybe it was a nail from the beginning. But because it was just an inconvenient eyeliner, it was hidden until today.
"Send it to the Shenzheng Department, and say that it is unfavorable and there is a mistake. It is called to send it back to the Office of the Internal Affairs." Yao Jiaxin said lightly.
Su Yu couldn't help but say, "This is too cheap, this dog slave! The little master should take advantage of this opportunity to establish his authority."
Yao Jiaxin smiled, and she looked at Su Yu deeply: "Do you think she can survive if I let her go?" - Eunuch Liu, the leader of Qixiang Palace, died suddenly a few days ago. Once Xiuyan entered the Shenxing Department, someone would immediately take her life.
