Chapter 236 Gifts
"What did you say about the fairy hall yesterday?" Yuan Xiu looked in the bronze mirror and asked.
Cai Lv was combing her long hair, twisted into a bun and coiled it in the right position. Hearing the words, his hand loosened slightly and quickly grasped it again, and then said, "Beauty Zheng is indeed a miscarriage."
Yuan Xiu noticed her movements and frowned, "Then what?"
"Guro took Pei Cai... Oh, it is the position of Pei's talent, and now it is being handed over to Her Royal Highness!" Cai Lv realized that when he mentioned the queen, Yuanxiu frowned slightly and tried, "A Jianu looked at Pei Shi looking at the beautiful and generous person, but he didn't expect that she would do such a hand."
"Yesterday, in Penglai Hall, I only heard the queen say that Zheng Meiren was greedy and led to the birth." Yuan Xiu sneered and said, "Why did you punish Pei Cai again now?"
Hearing her directly call Wang as the queen and Pei as a talented person, she concluded that Yuanxiu was annoyed with the queen. She thought for a moment and said, "I just listened to the legend of the palace people. It was Pei who invited Zheng Meiren to play chess together. As a result, Zheng Meiren lost five games in a row. She was a little impatient and sweated all over, and Pei asked someone to present it. A bowl of black plum mixed with ice came to her. After drinking it, Zheng Meiren finished the game and shouted pain in her stomach. Pei originally thought that Zheng Meiren didn't want to go down anymore, so she deliberately messed up the situation, so she smiled and asked people to go to the imperial hospital to pass the imperial doctor. She also made fun of Zheng Meiren if she waited for the imperial doctor to come and said that she was fine, how could she get off the stage? Who knew that he made fun of two sentences when he saw the blood flowing from Zheng Meiren's skirt, and then he panicked. Because Penglai Hall was far away, Pei's position was not enough to directly pass on to the imperial doctor. He had to ask Cui Fangyi from Chenghui Hall nearby, which made Cui Fangyi's close servant rushed to the imperial hospital to call someone. After the diagnosis, it was a minor labor. At that time, Pei Terrified, because Zheng Meiren couldn't stop bleeding, Pei didn't dare to leave, so she had to send Shanyin, a close maid beside her, to Penglai Hall to report to the Queen, and she was guarding outside Zheng Meiren's bedroom in Wangxian Hall..."
When Yuan Xiu heard this, he interrupted and asked, "So Cui Fangyi was also there at that time?"
"Cui Fangyi originally heard that Beauty Zheng was about to pass when she saw Hong, but she didn't know that she was walking too quickly. When she went out, she tripped over the threshold because of her skirt. She twisted her feet and had to be helped back to the bed by the people around her and called her nearby attendants to pass on to the imperial doctor... Cui Fangyi's feet were still seen later." Cai Lv braided his long hair for Yuan Xiu, picked up two four butterflies from the silver box and shook them to compare them. Seeing that Yuan Xiu's face was disapproving, he quickly put down and changed another pair of lotus hairpins, inserted them into them, picked up silk flowers again, and continued to say, "Since Zheng Meiren originally drank up the black plum, Yuan The imperial doctor who cooked with the black plum drink has seen it, and it doesn't matter. The porcelain bowl used by Zheng Meiren has already been cleaned up and washed. Although the water used to wash the dishes has not been poured out, the imperial doctor did not find anything in it, but the imperial doctor also said in private that the bowl of black plum drink was drunk by Zheng Meiren. Go, now it is immersed in a jar of water. Even if there is anything in it, it is difficult to find out.
"Don't care what the imperial doctor said... In this way, the fifth brother also thinks that Pei Cairen harmed Zheng Meiren?" Yuan Xiu saw that Cailu was hesitant about a box of silk flowers, so he picked a purple magnolia and inserted it.
Cai Lv said, "Yesterday, a Goro was furious in the Wangxian Hall. Her Royal Highness persuaded her for a long time before she promised to give Pei a chance to make it clear, but Pei refused to admit that she had murdered Zheng Meiren!"
"I almost forgot to ask, how is Zheng Meiren now?" Yuan Xiu asked without saying anything.
"I just heard from the palace people that the Immortal Hall has not woken up yet."
Yuan Xiu nodded: "Let's change clothes first."
The blue dress behind her has already picked out the dress she is going to wear today. The lilac sleeves are embroidered with three bamboo leaves, the gold skirt is dragged down, and the apricot yellow brocade satin on the waist, and a few wis of emerald silk are tied on the brocade, wearing five bats holding the jade pendant, and the gold-inlaid jade hollow peacock opens the screen incense bag. What is Rui Linxiang is hidden in the bag. .
Yuan Xiu looked at the dress, nodded with satisfaction, put it on it, thought about it, and ordered the box to take a string of pearls to put it on, and asked Cai Lan, "Is the gift for Sister Seven ready?"
"I have slightly reduced one piece according to the example of Princess Dongping." Cai Lan presented the list and said, "It's just that Princess Changyang's wedding date was set, and the A family sent a pot of fire trees and silver flowers. Now I don't know if it will disappoint Princess Changyang?"
"That time, the aunt asked me to do that, just because the eldest sister's affairs were being discussed everywhere, but the eldest sister who gave birth to cold food also had to go to the palace to resign. It was inevitable that the seventh sister was very happy to send the coral tree. One was to make her happy, and the other was..." Yuan Xiu paused after saying this and changed the topic. He said, "It's enough to suppress the eighth sister once. If it's still like this this time, not only the eighth sister, but also the seventh sister should be in private. It's good to use these."
"It's not that Princess Dongping's temperament is a little smaller. In addition to those given by the previous emperor, Princess Dongping is not without good things here, but the A family is the only one, and it should be more refined than her. Most of the other things that make them envious are still left by the two empress dowager. Their mother and concubines come from a humble background. Not only can they send anything good to the palace, but they also have to be helped by the imperial concubines. Who can blame? Cai Green said quickly, "What Princess Dongping said that time was sour."
Yuanxiu ignored her, ordered a congratulatory gift, and ordered her to come for breakfast. There was Guo Xue among the little maids who came to serve. Now she has changed the beautiful dress Guo's made for her, and put on the same palace clothes as other little maids, with a precious blue chest skirt under the blue upper and bottom. In summer, the palace maids Most of them are dressed like this, and she is particularly cute when she dresses like this.
"Are you picking oranges?" When Yuanxiu saw her, he asked, "Are you used to doing the following things? Where's your sister?"
"When Xie's family asked, Aunt Caicheng took good care of slaves and the habit of slaves. Sister is also under it now, but she is divided into fire-burning errands, so she has not come to Ah's family." Guo Xue squeezed her lips and smiled, and bowed her knees respectfully.
When Yuan Xiu saw that she looked good, she nodded: "That's good." Although the Guo sisters were brought to plead by Xue, it was also Yuanxiu who had a good impression of them. No matter how disappointing Cui Nanfeng was, he was the son of the Boling Cui family and was deeply favored by Princess Cui. Because the Zige courtyard belonged to Yuanxiu and Fengchun, the Cui family and the Lu family did not have the courage to go to the courtyard to find Guo Shuang. Guo Xue is not, but it is impossible for the sisters not to step out of other courtyards for the rest of their lives. The forces of these two families do not have to embarrass them. They have all the secret means. Guo Pan and Guo Yunu are better. Guo Shuang is only 16 years old. If Yuan Xiu doesn't care, sooner or later, they will suffer a secret loss.
After being an old servant of the Guo family or the dowry of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, Xue Shi courted for them and asked Yuanxiu to take them to cross the Ming Road to be palace maids. They are not afraid of raising two more people in the left and right Pearl Mirror Hall. Although Guo Shuang has reached the marriage, she has not yet chosen the right family. After serving Yuanxiu for a year and a half, it is more decent to marry. As for Guo Xue, who is younger and likes her so much, she can't suffer losses when she stays with Yuanxiu for more time.
With the experience of serving Yuanxiu, Cui and Lu did not dare to embarrass them because of Cui Nanfeng and Lu 26 Niang met in the Purple Pavilion. In addition, if they married in time in the future, their husband did not dare to underestimate them.
Yuanxiu also knew about Xue's plan. She didn't mind giving Xue's face, not to mention that the two sisters of the Guo family were not bad. It's just... both of them are serving? It's not only a fat man, but also an important place. Just looking at the matter of looking at the fairy hall, didn't Zheng Meimei have an accident after eating a bowl of black plum drink?
Picking oranges is an old man who has served Yuan Xiu for many years. Other little maids of honor have also been chosen layer by layer. There has been nothing wrong for so many years. Although there is nothing suspicious about this sister of the Guo family, it is not appropriate to put it under it like this.
Yuan Xiu thought about it quickly and said quietly, "You are young and familiar with picking oranges. It's enough to help you. I heard that your sister is very smart and capable, but it's too small to use the job of burning fire." When she said this, Cai Lan quickly bent her knees and said, "It's the slave who is not considerable!"
"I got a fire alchemy from the king of Lu a few months ago. Originally, I took care of it personally. Later, I gradually handed it over to others because of the practice of riding and shooting. I looked at the lush flowers and trees in the purple pavilion, but there were not many people in the other courtyard. I think it was because of your father Guo Bang's ability to do it, so I took pictures of all the flowers and trees. With all your heart, can your sister serve the flowers and trees? Yuan Xiu waved his hand to Cai Lan, and Cai Lan stood up with a look on his face.
But he heard Guo Xue say seriously, "When I go back to A's house, many flowers and trees in other courtyard are served by my sister, but I heard that the fire alchemy is very precious, and I don't know if my sister is qualified for this position, lest I will fail my family's expectations."
Yuan Xiu listened to her reply and said, "This is a good thing. I will send someone who took care of it to teach Shuang Niang."
At this time, Cai Lan heard the words and asked for instructions: "Then the person who originally took care of the fire alchemy..."
"That's what you arranged." Yuan Xiu said lightly.
Guo Xue squeezed her lips and smiled, and bent her knees crisply and said, "Sister Nudai thanked A Jia Xinzhong!"
