Chapter 41 Defei's Visit
In Wanhe Palace, Defei Wang Ziyu took the eunuchs to visit her cousin Shufei Wang Xuelan with carefully selected gifts.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for many days, but I really want to die." As soon as they met, Wang Ziyu, the imperial concubine, took Wang Xuelan's hand familiarly, and her beautiful face was full of bright fake smiles and said affectionately.
"Sister, you're welcome. You and I are sisters, and you should walk more. On the contrary, you should ask your sister to forgive me." Wang Xuelan patted the back of her cousin's hand and smiled gently.
Wang Ziyu waved her hand and said to the eunuchs and maids holding gifts behind her, "Why don't you quickly submit the gifts brought to the Empress Shufei?"
The maids who followed Wang Ziyu quickly picked up the gift brought by Wang Ziyu.
Wang Ziyu introduced to Wang Xuelan: "Sister, you see, this is a set of South China Sea black pearl jewelry, and each pearl is a treasure for at least a hundred years. Sister, look again, this pair of jade jade Ruyi, looking at the whole country is only the blood jade Ruyi in the aunt's palace. My sister, as well as this thousand-old mountain ginseng, has a complete root and a vague human shape, which is a sacred product to replenish qi. Sister, look at this pot of plum. This is a treasure left from the previous dynasty. This plum is extremely delicate and difficult to raise. Today, there are no five left in the world. As for the fifth gift that my sister wants to give to your sister, it is different from the first four. This fifth gift is one person. Wang Ziyu waved, and a beautiful young eunuch came out.
Wang Ziyu pointed to the eunuch and said to Wang Xuelan, "Sister, this person's name is Mei Sheng. He is a master of gardening. Previously, he took care of the flowers and plants in my palace, including this precious plum. Now my sister even gave you plum blossoms."
"My sister gave so many valuable gifts to my sister. It's really a broken sister. How can my sister take responsibility? Please sit down for a while. Let's talk about ourselves." Wang Xuelan said to Wang Ziyu with a smile.
"Okay, today, my sister also cooked a few snacks for your sister to taste. My father and aunt like the snacks my sister made very much." Wang Ziyu also smiled and pointed to the food box in Qingwen's hand and said.
"Well, that sister should have a good taste of her cooking."
The two walked into the hall hand in hand.
The two sat down on the soft couch, "Pear fragrance, serve tea. As the saying goes, drink Pu'er in winter and drink Longjing in summer. Let's use the oldest Pu'er cake given by the emperor yesterday." Wang Xuelan smiled and said to Li Xiang.
"Ha ha," Wang Ziyu covered her lips and smiled, but her eyes were almost crazy with jealousy. The emperor really spoiled his sister. What he gave him was all good things. Today, his sister got the glory of his sister.
"Sister laughed. The emperor rewarded these things not because he came here to use them on weekdays, so his sister and sister were both in the glory of the emperor." Wang Xuelan secretly saw Wang Ziyu's slightly distorted face and smiled more gently.
"My sister is too modest. Now who in this harem doesn't know that the emperor spoils my sister the most. Although the January period agreed with the empress dowager has passed, the emperor still stays in Wanhe Palace at night. It can be seen that no one can compare his love for his sister in this harem." As Wang Xuelan spoke, she ordered Qingwen to take out the snacks.
Li Xiang also served tea for Wang Ziyu and Wang Xuelan.
The two sisters chatted while tasting tea.
Wang Xuelan was extremely gentle and polite, which made people feel comfortable in the bottom of their hearts. Wang Ziyu talked with her and put down her guard.
Thinking that Wang Xuelan has recently been favored by the emperor, and countless people have gathered around her to flatter her, and although everyone in the palace is in awe of her identity and family background, only she knows the coldness of the world.
"Sister, seeing that you are living such a good life now, my sister is really envious. After the previous Huifei entered the palace, the emperor spoiled her alone. I really don't know where she came from, but fortunately, the emperor no longer spoils her alone. Humph, having a private meeting with men in the harem is enough for her generation. Zi couldn't turn over, but it was a pity that she was caught by the emperor in the imperial garden this time. If she was caught by the emperor in the Ganquan Palace to have a private meeting with the man, I don't know if her end will be ten times worse than now?! This time, it is really powerful for our royal family. After removing this Huifei Hu Yimeng in the harem, there are only two sisters left among the three concubines, and Mo Xuan, the newly appointed official, is expected to be dismissed by the emperor soon. At that time, as long as the father and aunt make ancesces in front of the emperor, let the emperor general It is not impossible for my brother to be reinstauted. Wang Ziyu said proudly.
Wang Xuelan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, lowered her eyelashes, and said casually, "My sister really knows about this."
"Well, this matter is related to the interests of our Wang family, and of course I will care about it." Wang Ziyu also picked up a teacup and took a mouthful of tea.
"Sister, the emperor may be more powerful than my uncle and Empress Dowager thought. He is not a person who allows others to tease him easily. As long as the emperor has not made a conclusion on this matter, everything is still possible to change." Wang Xuelan put down the teacup, picked up her handkerchief and wiped the tea stains on the corners of her lips, and said.
"Sister, I have already thought about this matter. In short, our Wang family will win this time!" Wang Ziyu smiled more and more proudly.
Wang Xuelan looked at Wang Ziyu, picked up a piece of cake and ate it. After eating this piece of cake, she smiled and said, "My sister is really good at cooking, but I don't know if there will be another chance to eat it next time."
As soon as Wang Xuelan finished speaking, he heard the eunuch outside the palace shouting that the emperor had arrived.
Wang Xuelan and Wang Ziyu quickly got up from the soft couch.
I saw Beichen Yeli walk into the hall with his father-in-law.
Beichen Yeli saw that Defei Wang Ziyu and Shufei Wang Xuelan couldn't help raising their eyebrows slightly.
Wang Ziyu and Wang Xuelan saluted Beichen Yelifu together.
"Hangtray, emperor."
"Concubine De and Concubine Shu, please get up." Beichen Yeli helped the two of them.
"I don't know what the two concubines talked about just now. Can I join?" Beichen Yeli smiled and asked.
"My concubine is discussing the cake making with Concubine Yu De, and I don't want the emperor to come." Concubine Wang Xuelan said with a smile.
"The two beloved concubines are really virtuous. I have always felt that women should still focus more on their husbands and children, and the cooking skills are popular. I don't know what the two concubines think?" Beichen Yeli's eyes flashed and looked at Wang Xuelan and Wang Ziyu and said.
"What the emperor said is that it is a woman's duty and glory to teach her husband and son, cook delicious food, and sew exquisite clothes. I will definitely remember the emperor's teachings." Wang Xuelan left the Blessed body again at the night of Beichen and said.
