Chapter 251 Gifts
Probably because of Mrs. Hou's visit, Ning Yueyao immediately stiffened up, and swaggered around the mansion like a peacock princess the next day.

In the garden, I met Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zhou who wanted to get some sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus honey. They were fined to kneel for two hours just because they were not pleasing to the eye.

The salted fish duo lived quietly in the mansion, but their small life could be called nourishing.The concubine Shi Zi never felt sorry for them, but she was punished by a side concubine for no reason!
Kneeling for about an hour, the two couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked the servants to go to Wufangzhai.

The Crown Princess is kind, maybe it would be useful to ask her?

Song Qingyue is in the yard, admiring the red coral sent by her father-in-law with squinted eyes. She has been using her eyes too much recently, and she is a little short-sighted.

In other words, the father-in-law is really generous. He gave a big one and a small one as a gift.Eunuch Wang said that the big one is too rare, let her show it, and the small one, whether it is for car beads or jewelry, is up to her.

"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk! It's so big! Look!" Song Qingyue smugly smugly said to the girls around her: "As long as I am a sensible daughter-in-law, the prince will never treat me badly! Remember, Sometimes a retreat is not necessarily a real retreat, and a concession is not necessarily a real concession. In many cases, it is necessary to retreat as an advance. Dongping, remember?"

Dong Ping blessed Fushen with a clumsy smile, and said with a smile: "Your servant understands, thank you for your enlightenment."

Bai Momo frowned at the side and said, "Dongping, you have a different identity now, be more stable! I have taught you the rules of etiquette for so many days, why don't you have any energy!"

Dongping's small face hung down, and she looked at Song Qingyue with aggrieved eyes, making Song Qingyue laugh out loud.

This morning, she also had new name tags for Mian Mian and Xiao Zao, which were delivered by the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion. Besides the sterling silver breastplate, there was also a small and lovely flower pearl brooch, which can be pinned on On the name tag, it means that they are all the concubines of the world.

Even if you can't see famous brands because of bad eyesight, you know to treat them politely when you see the brooch.

The three of them had a great time, holding the brooch and looking left and right, as if holding it in their hands for fear of falling, and holding it in their mouth for fear of melting.

Mo Zhu smiled and said: "Okay, put it on quickly! Don't lose it, in the future, you must study harder, do things with your heart, and repay Shi Zifei for her kindness!"

Mian Mian was about to cry holding the brooch, she was a little girl in the laundry room, she was not good-looking, she never dreamed that she would have such a day!
A rare kind smile appeared on Nanny Bai's serious old face.

The little girls who were in charge of sweeping and cleaning in the yard craned their necks to look at them enviously. Most of them had already entered the second grade of the literacy class or entered this year's new class.

Mianmian, Xiaozao, and Dongping are all ordinary-looking. Xiaozao has black triangular eyes and an upturned nose. The birthmark on Mianmian's face is really unsightly. Dongping is quite thick and has freckles all over her face. The three of them In this way, she can work with the concubine Shizi, so why can't she do it herself?

The homework in the literacy class is not difficult. The three of them just took the lead and worked harder than others when no one cared.

As long as they work hard, they will definitely be no worse than those three!

Song Qingyue was in a great mood, and sure enough, when the subordinates spontaneously started to curl up, being a boss felt a sense of refreshment!While eating snacks, she carefully looked at the small coral plant, hesitating whether to add beads to make a long necklace, or to carve and inlay it with gold to make a hairstyle.

Although this coral is small, its color and luster are excellent, and it will definitely look good in anything.

She planned to hand it over to Zhenbao Pavilion, so that the professional masters would want to go.

At this time, Eunuch Xiao Qin suddenly came over to report: "Concubine Shizi, the maids Ningshuang and Dongxue from Jinxiu Pavilion have come, saying that their master was punished by Concubine Ning to kneel."

Song Qingyue raised her chin and said, "Call me in."

When the two little servant girls came in, they knelt down and cried to her: "Concubine Shizi, please save our girl! Then Concubine Ning is so unreasonable, she punished the master to kneel for no reason."

Song Qingyue raised one eyebrow and asked inexplicably, "Why did you girl offend her?"

Ningshuang said: "No! My girl said that the weather is fine today, and the old osmanthus flowers in the garden are very fragrant. She dragged Miss Wei to fetch some osmanthus flowers to make sweet-scented osmanthus honey. Concubine Ning is here. The girl probably didn't see her, and when she stepped back, she accidentally stepped on the foot of Yunxiang next to Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning said that it was Miss Wei who bumped into her and asked her to kneel for two hours. My girl refused to accept it and wanted to follow her The side concubine argued a few words, and the side concubine asked my girl to kneel with her..."

Dong Xue cried at the side: "Our girls have knelt for an hour, and they couldn't take it anymore, so they called us here, and I beg you for mercy, please be the master, let them wake up."

Song Qingyue was really speechless about Ning Yueyao's bullying behavior, and said to Nanny Bai: "Mommy, please come and call Miss Zhou and Miss Wei. Mo Mei, Mo Ran, go and get Shen Xiang, Jiu Wan, Ms. Shan, and Ms. Xue all called, and said that I invited them to come and watch the big coral sent by the prince. Dongping, you go to the back and call Qiushui. Mo Zhu, Mo Lan, go to the kitchen I want to prepare snacks, and I need more varieties. If you don’t have time to make them, go to Chunhe Garden to buy them. Let’s have a tea party this afternoon.” She hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: “Mo Ju, go to Ting Yuxuan for a visit. Ask Yunying if he wants to come and have tea and snacks with us."

Ningshuang and Dongxue were overjoyed, kowtowed to thank, and led Nanny Bai to go.

Chunfuyuan is the tea house opened by Meng Wanfeng borrowed from Li Wei's place. This tea house is not the first in the capital, but also the second or third.There are many guests, and the house is full of friends. In addition to the good tea, the dim sum is also a must.

But after two cups of tea, everyone arrived, and Yunying also came. Since Li Zhaoda left in the middle of the night that day, Nanny Pan forced her to lose weight, and she was almost forced to become an aunt in the nunnery. , You are not allowed to eat this, and you are not allowed to eat that, even meat is rarely seen all day long, I heard that Shi Zifei has delicious food here, so I came here immediately.

Song Qingyue personally made tea for everyone. In her previous life, she lived in the Jiangnan area. Her ancestral home was not only a tea-producing area, but also produced purple sand tea sets. Almost every household has a set of tea sets.She is extremely skilled in tea art.

After a while, the kitchen brought refreshments, in addition to the regular pea yellow, water chestnut and lotus root flour cake, there are freshly fried spring rolls and sesame balls.Spring rolls are stuffed with meat, shrimp, sesame peanuts and red bean paste.

When Yunying saw the shiny golden spring roll skin, he couldn't care less, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, but he was so hot that he screamed, he kept breathing, but he still couldn't bear to spit it out. Swallowing it down, amused a table of people laughing up and down.

Xue Lian'er and Shan Xiujuan have been quite honest recently, probably because Li Zhao is not at home, even if they want to be jealous, they have no goal.

Shan Xiujuan stared at the big coral tree with straight eyes.

Song Qingyue held the teacup and said with a smile, "Come closer if you want to see it."

Shan Xiujuan thanked Shi Zifei, she really stood up, and took a closer look, just about to reach out to touch it, but Dongping immediately stopped her and said, "Don't touch it! If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it!"

Shan Xiujuan looked up, isn't this the rough girl who swept the floor in the yard before?Why did you come to the imperial concubine's room?He opened his mouth to choke her, but saw the pearl brooch on Dongping's chest, and immediately swallowed the words, put his hands behind his back unhappily, and bent over to look at the coral.

Yan Jiuwan said: "This is the first time I have seen such a big red coral."

Song Qingyue smiled and said, "See you for the first time too."

Shen Xiang was surprised and said: "I heard that Song Ge used to be an official in Guangzhou, isn't there one in the Song family?"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "No! I really haven't seen it before! In the past, there were only a few small corals in my house, not as big as the one next to it. Such a large coral would be strictly guarded by the government as soon as it was caught, and then paid tribute to Beijing. Come here. If you weren't in the royal palace, you wouldn't have had the chance to see him."

Li Qiushui said from the side: "Even if you are in the palace, you may not be able to see it. If the princess and concubine are not favored by the prince, we will follow suit, otherwise you will never see such a rare thing in your life."

Seeing Li Qiushui patting the horses, the others quickly followed suit: "Sister Li is right! Our matter has been honored by the concubine Shizi, and our eyes have been opened!"

Everyone looked at each other, and I said something, Song Qingyue was giggled by their flattery, while talking and joking, the takeaway from Chunheyuan arrived, but Song Qingyue did not expect that Meng Wanfeng personally brought it in an ivory carved food box.

Song Qingyue stood up to meet her, jokingly said: "Why is the proprietress here in person today?"

Meng Wanfeng sighed: "Ah's on a business trip, I'm bored at home and I can only suffer. Now I hide in the tea garden every day. No, I heard that you have a tea party here, so I came to join in the fun."

"Is Prince Jing's son on a business trip? Where are you going?" Song Qingyue had a bad premonition.

"In Guizhou, it is said that there was a dispute among several chieftains. The fight was fierce and many people died. Ah Hun went to mediate on behalf of the court." Meng Wanfeng said.

It really is Guizhou!
Song Qingyue nodded her head and lowered her eyes to make tea, concealing the secret joy on her face, thankful that she had reminded Li Zhao in advance, thinking that she would go to His Royal Highness Su Wang to confirm whether the silver mine in Tongren had been mined, and if it had already started, It has to be cleaned up immediately, and any other illegal activities, such as selling illegal salt, should be stopped immediately.

The protagonist's halo is not a joke, he can find out what bad things you do.

Song Qingyue brewed tea, poured it into a delicate and small white porcelain cup, pushed it firmly in front of Meng Wan Fengshu, and said with a smile, "You can try the Junshan Yinzhen from Yueyang Mansion."

Meng Wanfeng took a look at her small hands like creamy white jade, and said, "Where did Miss Song learn the skill of making tea? It's even better than the tea girls in my tea garden. Only your hands I just won, and my woman is tempted to see it."

"Just make fun of me." Song Qingyue shook her head, poured a second cup, and pushed it in front of Meng Wanfeng.

While everyone was drinking tea and chatting, suddenly someone came in from the outside, it was Little Qin Eunuch, followed by another person, unexpectedly it was Ji Eunuch.

"Shizi Concubine Wanan!" Ji Quanfu came in covered in dust, his hair was disheveled and his cheeks were sunken, as if he had worked very hard.

"Eunuch Ji get up, look at your hard work, sit down and have a cup of tea together, I made it myself, and Eunuch Ji will also taste it, how about my craftsmanship." Song Qingyue said politely.

Eunuch Ji immediately waved his hands and said, "I can't, I can't! If your son knows that your subordinates have drunk the tea you brewed by yourself, you won't be so jealous that you will ask your subordinates to eat it!"

In front of everyone, Song Qingyue's ears turned red slightly from what he said, and said: "Eunuch Ji has learned to tease me now."

Ji Quanfu laughed: "It's not that my subordinates are making fun of you. Your Highness is busy but always talks about you. This is what His Highness asked his subordinates to bring back for you."

He took out a small wooden box wrapped in cloth from his pocket, Song Qingyue took it, she didn't want to open it in public, but couldn't stand Meng Wanfeng's booing and instigation, so she had to open it in front of everyone.

I thought it was something precious, but unexpectedly it was just a few ears of wheat, a pebble of various colors, a golden ginkgo leaf, and a few lotus seeds that were too old to turn yellow.

Song Qingyue took a closer look and found that the surface of the ears of wheat was slightly browned. She sniffed it with the tip of her nose, and there was indeed a faint smoke, which must have been dried with charcoal.

There is also a note written by Li Zhao inside: "Every inch of love is full of thousands of thoughts, what you think, what you dream, what you read, what you see and hear, are all the breeze and the moon."

Song Qingyue's breathing was stagnant, her heart was beating a bit violently, and her nose was a little sore.

Wow, the note rolled up, and with trembling hands, he randomly stuffed the ball of note back into the box, but the customers were still sitting, they got up and fled to the inner room, and asked Mo Zhu to fetch a basin of cold water.

She washed her face, sat down and closed her eyes to calm down for a while.

That big pig's hoof is really good at deceiving people.

He clearly knew that he was a pig's trotter, but at that moment just now, he couldn't help but was so moved that he almost shed tears.

The more I like him in my heart, the more I will worry about the future.

She has been suppressing her liking for that man from beginning to end, thinking that if he moves on in the future, she will also take back the little liking she gave him now, and she can still live a carefree life.

But how can feelings be so easy to retract and release freely?
Song Qingyue covered her face, feeling very tired, and didn't know how she became so emotional.

She wasn't like this before.

After staying alone for a while, Eunuch Ji knocked on the door and came in, said with a smile: "Concubine Shizi, this subordinate is still rushing back, look, what can I bring to His Highness?"

The word bellyband suddenly popped up in his mind, and his face turned red with a bang.

Song Qingyue felt her head was about to explode, she gritted her teeth, glared at Eunuch Ji, and said, "Just wait."

She ran out of the wing room, passed through the third yard, ran back to the bedroom, pulled the bed curtain, took off the smoky blue apron she was wearing, rolled it up, found a small wooden box, and stuffed it indiscriminately.He tore a piece of paper casually, wrote two words very scribbled with a pencil: "Bad guy!" and drew a little bastard on the back.

Then he ran back to the wing room with the box in his arms, threw the box to Ji Quanfu, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to open it, do you hear me?"

"Hey! The subordinates dare not!"

Ji Quanfu was drinking the tea brought by Mo Zhu, when he was startled by Princess Shizi rushing in suddenly, he almost lost his composure and spit out the tea.

Looking at her expression, she seems to be angry?
But why was she angry?

Eunuch Ji was a little confused, could it be because the gift was too shabby?
"This subordinate is going back now. Do you have anything else you want this servant to take?" He asked again cautiously.

"No! Get out! Tell him, I don't want him, not at all!"

Eunuch Ji observed Shizi Concubine's expression carefully, and felt that Shizi Concubine was not really angry. Her little face, as white as jade, was flushed and powdery, as if she was drunk, but she was very pretty.

He shook his head and disappeared in a flash. Anyway, he went back and told His Royal Highness the truth, the concubine Shizi had nothing to say to him, she didn't want to see him at all, and told himself to leave quickly, hehe!

When Song Qingyue calmed down and returned to the front hall, everyone looked at her curiously.

Song Qingyue was absent-minded, just kept drinking tea with her head down, wondering what Li Zhao's reaction would be when she received the gift.

He teased her, and she teased her back, to see who could tease whom better!

snort!
The afternoon was so muddled that Song Qingyue even forgot how the meeting ended.

After returning to the bedroom, she hid in Babu's bed, secretly opened the box, and unfolded the crumpled note again to read.

"Thousands of thoughts in every inch of love, what you think, what you dream, what you read, what you see and hear, are all the breeze and the moon."

The pen is sharp and fluent, just like his people, crazy but not dry, proud but not arrogant, romantic but not sentimental, chic and self-controlled.

Read it again, I still can't help my heart beating wildly, the corners of my mouth can't be suppressed, the tip of my tongue is full of sweetness, the whole person seems to be soaked in a honey pot, sweet, but I can't help but panic, Sad, scared.

Worrying about gains and losses can drive people crazy.

In the evening, she dug out the "Book of Han" and read Liu Che's passage again.

This hero fell in love with Chen Ajiao when he was young, and later changed to Wei Zifu, and then fell in love with the all-powerful Mrs. Li, and even buried him with the queen's ceremony when he died. Mrs. Gou Yi gave birth to a baby.

Before Wei Zifu, didn't he show love to Chen Ajiao?

Didn't he love Wei Zifu before meeting Mrs. Li?
What's the use of loving Mrs. Li again?What's the use of being buried with the queen's ceremony?Didn't Liu Fuling, a milk baby, be made the crown prince in the end?
It was ridiculous.

He has a good color now, and at an average age, it is normal for Li Zhao to like him.But how long can an emperor's love last, and how much can you trust?

Even if she has the ability to reach the sky, love is born because of lust, love fades when lust fades, and love fades when love is rejected, she dare not think that she is the one who can get away with it.

The book slipped from her hands, and her feverish mind finally calmed down.

Looking at Li Zhao's note again, he put his heart on fire and set it on fire.

Watching the pieces of paper gradually turn into ashes in the incense burner, tears appeared in her eyes again, she took a deep breath, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and her eyes became firm again.

"Go to tm to fall in love and start a career!"

Yusheng is in the house, and Ning Yueyao was sullen all afternoon because Song Qingyue didn't bring her to the tea party. In the evening, I heard that my cousin's people came back all the way, just to give gifts to Wufangzhai. Gotta cry again.

Mother Jiang shook her head: "Side concubine, you can learn from that one in the future, what good will it do you to embarrass those concubines? Push everyone to her side, you can have some fun in the future!"

Ning Yueyao buried her face in the pillow, not knowing if she listened or not.

Mother Jiang felt that she probably regretted it too, after all, she was still a little girl, after so many lessons, she must have improved a bit.

It's really strange, Wufangzhai is obviously a little girl, two years younger than her side concubine, she can only blame it because Song Qingyue was born as a concubine, so she might not be favored so much at home, she was sensible early, and she had a good heart. Also many.

Teaching children is really not to be too spoiled.
