Chapter 495, hold the imperial concubine's thigh tightly
Wangxian Pavilion.
Cuipin Hai looked at the treasures on the table. The Fourteenth Concubine had been sick for a long time, so she only made up the gift now. Here are ten Hepu pearls, as big as bird eggs, all of which are round and shiny, and there is also a Changbai Mountain wild ginseng with all its roots and suffused levels.
Such a gift is also very expensive.
Mei Xiang, the dowry palace maid, whispered: "I've been inquiring. The 14th Concubine gave Zhaopin, there are ten pearls and an old ginseng. In addition, there is a red gold Ruyi inlaid with rubies."
Cuipin, who was delighted by receiving the precious gift, looked ugly in an instant, "Jin Zhaoyucui, Zhao Yucui, Zhaoyucui, I am in front, I am in back, even the fourteenth concubine thinks so?"
Mei Xiang hurriedly said, "My lady, don't be angry. After all, the Queen Mother always values the Nala family, who is born in the military flag. The Fourteenth Concubine naturally considers the Queen Mother's wishes everywhere."
Cuipin clenched the fist under her sleeves, "Just because I am a Han military flag, I am looked down upon everywhere! Even if I gave birth to the tenth prince and conferred the concubine, I would still lower the Nala clan!"
Mei Xiang hurriedly said softly: "Pin Zhao is just a sonless concubine, and she can't make a difference! You are different. You have the tenth prince!"
Cui Ping took a deep breath, "I have been counting on Hongmu for the rest of my life..."
As he said that, Cuipin's eyes were wet, "But the emperor hasn't come to visit Hongmu for more than half a month." - It was because of Yingxiang's incident that made the emperor unhappy.
Mei Xiang said: "The Tenth Prince is the emperor's youngest son. How could the emperor not love him? The day before yesterday, the emperor asked Eunuch Su to send the best silk and silk fabrics, saying that he was making autumn clothes for the Tenth Prince. The emperor was angry for a moment, and the emperor would come sooner or later."
Cuipin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "After all, it's because the imperial concubine is unhappy that the emperor wants to neglect me."
The Imperial Concubine is the most unprovoked person in this palace.
Mei Xiang couldn't help but mutter: "If it weren't for the sudden interruption of Guiren Lang, the Imperial Concubine wouldn't have been so angry!"
Cuipin secretly gritted her teeth, "This Jia!" - It's a pity that Jia has already leaned against the imperial concubine and is so favored that she is inconvenient to attack.
"When she loses her favor, I can tear her down without the action of this palace!" Cuipin said angrily. If Jia hadn't hooked the emperor's soul, the emperor wouldn't have been disrespectful to beauties like Yingxiang!
Bitong Academy.
Yao Jiaxin had just painted a picture of a big red and purple peony, and then she heard the news that the concubine asked for a meeting.
"What are she here to do? Today is not a day to pay tribute." Yao Jiaxin murmured a few words, but still asked Cuipin to come in.
Cui Ping has always been very rich and round after giving birth, but she has been a little thinner recently - His Majesty the Fourth Master is just a little cold and looking at the Immortal Hall, but unexpectedly it has caused such a good weight loss effect.
Yao Jiaxin secretly laughed secretly. Seeing that Chupin respectfully greeted him, she raised her hand to quit.
Cuipin had a gentle smile on her face, "A few days ago, the fourteenth concubine gave her a box of Hepu Pearls. The concubine looked huge and round and very noble. The concubine was just a small concubine and was not worthy of enjoying it, so she wanted to respect the imperial concubine."
Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows. She naturally knew about Wanyan’s gift to Zhaopin Cuipin, but she didn’t expect that Cuipin came before it was warmed up.
It was a big red gold-plated square brocade box. The Hepu pearls in the box were indeed big and round, which reminded her of the pearl shawl presented to her by the mansion of Chengen of the Ulanara family.
Cui Ping said again: "I know that these pearls are nothing in front of the Empress. But I heard that the Empress gave the extremely precious pearl shawl to the Empress Dowager and also put a lot of inventory of Dongzhu. I guess the Empress don't have many pearls on hand. These are pretty good, and the Empress is also very good for making earrings or hairpins."
Yao Jiaxin actually likes pearls very much, especially Hepu pearls. Cuipin is so enthusiastic and flattering, so Yao Jiaxin will naturally not refuse. She said lightly: "Cui Ping is intent."
Cuipin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be fine if the imperial concubine was willing to accept it.
Cui Ping said in a humble manner: "I was a mother for the first time and didn't understand many things. Thanks to the imperial concubine who was willing to teach her, I have always been grateful. But my concubine was not from a high birth and had nothing to show off to honor you."
Yao Jiaxin took a sip of tea and said casually: "It's enough to be willing, and I don't lack these treasures."
Cui Ping responded softly, "Since I have the Tenth Prince, I have always thought about doing something for him, but sometimes the things that are inevitable are inappropriate, so please let the imperial concubine let her go."
This means, is it for the tenth prince to promote newcomers to compete for favor?
Yao Jiaxin smiled, without comment, and asked, "There is something that is missing from the Tenth Prince? Just tell me."
Cuibin smiled and said, "The Tenth Prince is not short of food, clothing, and chewing, but..." Cuibin's voice suddenly became weaker, with a cautious expression, "It's just that the Tenth Prince hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and he is in a little depressed recently."
Yao Jiaxin was speechless. I was feeling depressed, right?
Cuipin hurriedly said, "But it's not bad, I will take good care of the Tenth Prince."
Yao Jiaxin glanced at Cuipin indifferently, "That's good."
Cuipin thought, she was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, so she had to take it slowly. Besides, she had the tenth prince, so the emperor would not neglect her for too long.
"The Empress is busy, so I won't disturb you." Cui Ping stood up and bowed respectfully, and then he stepped down.
After seeing off Cuipin, Nongyun lowered his voice and said, "The emperor hasn't been to the immortal hall for only a few days, Cuipin is impatient! He has lost all of his weight!"
Yao Jiaxin laughed "pu" and said teasingly: "I will never regret it when my clothes are getting looser. I will become haggard for her!"
Walking out of Bitong Academy, Cuipin looked at the sea-like sycamore forest. In the sun, the shadows of the trees were mottled. Cuipin said quietly: "The phoenix is singing, on the high hill, on the sycamore tree is growing, on the morning sun." - Perhaps from the day the imperial concubine moved into Bitong Academy, her status in the emperor's mind has been unshakable.
"Please be with Concubine Cui!" Qingrun's gentle voice interrupted Concubine Cui's thoughts.
When Cuipin turned around, she saw a fresh and pleasant blue flag suit. Isn’t it the most favored nobleman Jia now? Although Jia favors good fortune, she has always dressed in a simple and elegant manner. Not only does she wear fresh clothes, but the jewelry on the flag bun is also very clear.
In an instant, Cipin understood something. The imperial concubine didn't like luxury either. Perhaps the emperor liked this fresh and elegant woman, right?
"Is Concubine Lang here to pay tribute to the Imperial Concubine?" Cuibin asked seriously. Jia is very diligent in coming to Bitong Academy! It seems that he is hugging the Imperial Concubine tightly.
Jia nodded and said, "I am free and have nothing to do. I'm out for a walk. I look at the towering trees of the sycamore forest and the branches and leaves, so I come over and take a look. Of course, I also plan to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Cuibin said in a cold tone: "Gui-Man Lang is intent." As he said that, Cuibin left with his sleeves.
"Greatly send me the concubine to you!" Jia's etiquette was very thoughtful and did not look arrogant in any way.
