The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 362 Tribute
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the corner gate of the garden was opened, and tributes from inside and outside the capital entered Yuanmingyuan and Changchun Garden one after another. Zarafin, wrapped in fox fur, stood in the Xinghuachun Pavilion and began to direct the servants to keep bringing Things are boxed.

Hongli arranged for Zarafen to bring in the items early, and Fujin even transported them from Fucha's house to the garden two or three days in advance.

She was standing in the corridor in moccasin boots, while little Sula and the maidservants were busy packing boxes.

"Be careful, this glazed horse is surrounded by things, fix the horse." Zhalafin discussed with Hongli, and prepared to enter a glazed horse with Hongli himself. The blood-sweaty horse stepped on the auspicious cloud, and the Western craftsman Hongli found burned it as an ornament of a glazed horse.

Zarafin saw that the boxes were packed better, and her hanging heart fell to the ground. Since Liulima tightened the Xinghuachun Pavilion, she has to go to see it several times a day, for fear of being watched by others.

"Zhang Deshun, send the things to Wanfang for peace." Zarafin let out a long breath, feeling relaxed all over his body.

Six little Sulas carried a box, and dozens of boxes were carried by little Sura, and left the Xinghuachun Pavilion.

Zarafin watched the box disappear before her eyes, turned and went back to the main hall.

"Master, you can go into the house and take a rest. During this period of time, you have reduced a lot for the tribute." Huang Ah said, looking at Zarafin.

Zarafin waved his hand, his energy was indeed much shorter than before, and he felt exhausted from head to toe.

"I'm going to take a rest. If Ah Hun comes over, you go and prepare something to eat first." Zarafin said directly.

Near noon, Hongli hurried back to the Xinghuachun Pavilion, and went to Qingyan, Kyushu to follow his errands. He was thinking about the tribute, and he was afraid that Zarafen would be in trouble if he dealt with it for the first time.

"Greetings, Lord." Diancui looked at Hongli, her eyes lit up slightly, she quickly put down the rag in her hand, and walked in front of him to salute.

Hongli frowned slightly when he noticed the change in Diancui. The servant in front of him was the grand maid of Zarafin, and she was winking here.

"Where's Jiaojiao?" Hongli looked around the main hall and found that Zarafin was not in the hall. ,
"Master is resting, he must have woken up too early." Diancui felt a little wronged, Hongli didn't pay attention to her at all.

Hongli turned around and walked in, and when he turned around, he gave Gao Wuyong a look.

In other courtyards, if there is any unreasonable thought about him and his love, he doesn't care, only in front of Zarafin, he doesn't want anyone to bully her.

Hongli stepped into the inner bed, seeing Zarafin sleeping soundly on the bed, he took two quick steps, warmed himself up in front of the earth dragon beside him, and then walked to the side of the bed.

"Jiaojiao, get up soon, it's already noon." Hongli leaned into her ear and called.

Zarafin stared dazedly at the man in front of her. She stretched out her hands towards him and was hugged by his waist.

"Jiaojiao, it's time for lunch." Hongli said softly.

"Ah, I'm really sleepy, I'll talk about it later, can it work?" Zarafin said with a small mouth.

Hongli patted her on the back: "No, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Zarafin was forced to stand up, Hongli couldn't help laughing at the sad little eyes.

"Ah, you are too inhuman." Zarafin bit the corner of the quilt angrily and said with slightly red eyes.

Just now, Hongli took advantage of her confusion and touched her waist, which is the most emotional part of Zarafin.

"We're all awake, so get up quickly." Hongli laughed unkindly.

In the dining room, Zarafin put on a light green winter dress, with a pair of hair tied casually on his head, and a pink and purple emerald hairpin, neither earrings were worn, and his face was plain. Sitting there facing the sky.

Hongli laughed secretly in his heart, probably only Zarafin dared to appear in front of him without makeup.

The other female relatives, even when they were sleeping, would wear exquisite makeup. Hongli had never seen the real faces of the three of them.

"Ah, it's all stew these days, so I didn't send people to the big kitchen to pick up meals, but I just let the small kitchen make some pots." Zarafin said directly.

Spicy pot bottom is the favorite of the two. Today, I prepared a hot pot soup with mushroom soup base. It contains soup made with dozens of fungi, and some mushrooms and corn. I used a bowl of it before meals. , I feel hot all over.

Several plates of lamb slices, vegetables and veal slices, seafood, etc., made Hongli a little strange. Did he cook these by himself?

"Master, let me prepare it myself." Gao Wuyong watched as Hongli began to cook the dishes, and put them on Zarafin's plate, the mutton was still a little bloodshot.

"Ah, let Eunuch Gao do it, and you can use it quickly." Zarafin looked at the things in front of him and could only sigh.

Hongli didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with what he did, and felt that he did not do enough.

After lunch, Hongli and Zarafin walked side by side in the corridor. The sky in the afternoon was a bit gloomy, and snowflakes began to fall for the three of them. Zarafin turned his head to look at the snow scene outside, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, according to Zhang De's report, there may be something wrong with the tribute in Wuling Spring." Zarafin's eyes flashed gloating.

Hongli saw it and could understand Zarafin's thoughts. Outsiders would probably think that Hongli must have felt ashamed. In fact, Hongli didn't feel anything wrong at all. Fujin repeatedly declined Hongli's help. Joining hands to prepare, Hongli gave up early.

"Jiaojiao, things are not loose, so it has nothing to do with us." Hongli didn't take Fujin seriously at all, and the censors saw something that was not in compliance with the rules, so they would play it at the meeting.

"Ah Hun, won't it affect you?" Zarafin asked.

"Of course not, Khan Ama is aware of what the Fucha family did." Hongli felt helpless towards Li Rongbao and his wife, thinking that Li Rongbao must be behind the scenes.

After all, these tributes are not something ordinary families can bear. Hongli checked the accounts in Wuling Chunse, and there was indeed a huge expenditure. It seems that Sifujin should have returned to the mansion to beg.

Ever since Sifujin married into the royal family, Li Rongbao's ambition for power has become more and more serious, and he even aimed at Ge Ge in the palace as the candidate for Fu Heng's first wife.

"Ah, it's Fujin after all, do you want to go and see?" Zarafin asked worriedly.

Hongli is an extreme person. After he decides that someone is bad, he will think of everything as bad.

"No, Fujin is in charge of the backyard, so he must have his own ideas." Hongli bowed his hand, "Go to the night market at night, you must not have seen the night market in Xiaohou, have you?"
