The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The queen glanced around the entire audience with her own majesty.

"Sisters, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Queen."

The Queen asked everyone to sit down, and they all sat down according to the rules.

The virtuous concubine disliked the virtuous concubine and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Sister Defei, I heard that you and the Third Princess had lunch at Fanghua Palace yesterday?"

Concubine De was stunned: What does Concubine Xian want to do?

Faced with so many looks, Concubine De could only answer slowly.

"Sister Xianfei, yes, Princess Yongkang invited me and the Third Princess to have lunch yesterday."

Concubine De was speechless: These people really have nothing to do all day.

Concubine Zhang sneered, "Oh, the princess doesn't give the queen anything delicious, but it's good for you."

The Queen frowned as she listened: This Imperial Concubine is so bored that she comes here to sow discord again.

"You are talking about the barbecued meat in a soup pot that the princess had someone bring back a few days ago. I have heard about it. I heard that everyone who passed by Fanghua Palace was tempted by it without exception."

Xianfei took the opportunity to speak, "Yes, Queen, have you tasted it? None of us have tasted it, and I wonder if we can have the Queen's blessing and taste this soup pot."

The queen frowned again, and when she was about to speak, the eunuch walked over quickly.

"Empress, Miss Qingling is waiting outside the palace with the gifts sent by Princess Yongkang."

The queen was stunned. "Hurry up and announce it."

Soon Ruan Qingling walked lightly to the main hall and saw the queen sitting on the phoenix chair. She saluted respectfully.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and all the ladies."

The queen sat high up, so she could see from a higher position. She saw ten palace maids and eunuchs carrying something, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Ruan Qingling smiled gently, "Your Majesty, the princess said that she has been out of the palace a lot recently and has not been able to serve you, so she asked me to send some items to show my appreciation."

After hearing this, Nanny Luo gave a thumbs up to Princess Yongkang in her heart, which just happened to help the Queen solve her current situation.

The queen smiled gently, "The princess is so thoughtful, Madam Luo, please take it."

One of the concubines said, "Your Majesty, we have not seen the gifts sent by the princess yet. Why don't you let us open our eyes?"

The Queen and Nanny Luo looked at the concubine at the same time. She was not stunningly beautiful, but fortunately she came from a prominent family and was appointed a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.

However, because the position of concubine was full, she was never promoted.

"Since Concubine An wants to see it, I will let all the sisters take a look along the way."

Ruan Qingling didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to make this request to the queen, but fortunately her princess was generous and not afraid of being seen.

The queen gave Ruan Qingling a look, and Ruan Qingling understood and turned around to introduce them one by one.

"Empress, the first item is a phoenix fan. The princess said her mother is a phoenix, so she should have a golden phoenix fan."

The Queen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Madam Luo, quickly bring it here for me to have a look."

Nanny Luo took the order and walked over to take the round fan from Ruan Qingling's hand.

The queen took it in her hand and stroked it carefully. "It looks like good embroidery, but is it from the Princess's Jewelry Pavilion?"

Ruan Qingling smiled and said, "Yes, it was embroidered by Senior Sister Princess. The princess spent two hundred taels of silver on it."

Everyone was shocked. A round fan costs two hundred taels?

Concubine Zhang sneered, "You have to spend money on your own shop. It's really ridiculous."

Concubine Xian also laughed, but out of consideration for the Empress and her face, she did not laugh as wildly as Concubine Zhang.

The queen's face darkened when she heard this.

Ruan Qingling quickly explained for her princess, "My princess said that after all, the court and the queen mother still have a share in the shop. In addition, the princess's teacher, his wife and other sisters also have shares. She can't let everyone suffer a loss."

After hearing the explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

The queen was pleased to hear this, "This makes sense, no one can find fault with it."

Everyone shut up and continued looking back.

Ruan Qingling introduced the second gift, "This is a sachet, embroidered by the third princess. The fragrance inside was prepared by my princess. It can improve sleep and calm the mind."

Nanny Luo was surprised when she heard this. "The Third Princess and Princess Yongkang are really thoughtful."

The queen nodded with satisfaction.

Concubine De was stunned: How come she didn’t know when her daughter had embroidered the sachet for the Empress?

Ruan Qingling continued to introduce the third item, "This third item is a gold hairpin, designed and made by my princess herself."

The queen was surprised and said, "The princess has this skill, it's really thoughtful."

Everyone continued to look at the fourth gift. "This one is not as valuable as the previous ones, but it is also a token of the princess's love. After all, it was made by the princess herself. The emperor also has one. Luosang sent it over. I believe the emperor has received it."

The queen looked at the heart knot and smiled even more gently. This daughter is really a caring and thoughtful person.

Concubine Zhang and Concubine Xian stirred their handkerchiefs jealously.

"The fifth piece is also a knot, made by the princess. My princess said that she wanted the queen to give her a jade pendant to wear, to prove the love of her mother and sister for her son and brother." Nanny Luo

The queen laughed when she heard this. "This child is still a little naughty. Okay, tell her that your mother will definitely choose a good jade pendant for the prince."

Ruan Qingling bowed and thanked him, "I, your servant, would like to thank you on behalf of the princess."

Concubine Zhang didn't want to hear any nonsense. "What's the sixth item?"

She still couldn't believe that Princess Yongkang would be willing to spend money on exquisite items.

Ruan Qingling bowed respectfully to Concubine Zhang and said, "Your Highness, I will introduce it to you. This sixth item is a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, which we brought from our fiefdom. The princess said that the empress and the emperor should have a few drinks while dining, and she also said that this is called pleasure."

Xianfei was jealous when she heard this, "The princess knows so much."

Ruan Qingling did not respond to this sentence, but looked directly at the queen.

"Qingling, continue."

She looked forward to the gifts from her daughter more and more.

"The seventh item is a yew wood bracelet. The princess has worn it for almost two years. She once took it to a temple to have it blessed, and she also said that she hoped her mother would not dislike it."

The Queen covered her face and smiled, "How could that be possible? This is all from the Princess' heart. Nanny Luo, go get it quickly. I want to take it with me now."

Shunpin looked at Ruan Qingling anxiously, "Tell me the eighth one."

Every gift from the princess is thoughtful. The Queen is so enviable.

"The eighth item is a Buddhist scripture, which the princess bought at a high price. My princess said that the queen mother worships Buddha. If the queen mother has time occasionally, she can go to Fushou Palace to discuss it with the queen mother."

Concubine Zhang was so angry that she asked, "What about the ninth item?"

"A stack of rice paper. The princess heard that the queen is good at calligraphy, so she wanted to ask for a calligraphy piece. She wants to hang it in her bedroom so that she can admire and study it from time to time."

The Queen was delighted to hear this. "Well, all right. Go and prepare at the beginning of the month. I will give the Princess a copy of the calligraphy right away."

Ruan Qingling was delighted and said, "Thank you, Queen."

After the Queen gave her the final word, Bai Yuechu respectfully waited for it to dry naturally.

Finally, the Queen asked, "The tenth thing?"

Ruan Qingling picked up the three deeds, and everyone was confused.

"The princess is planning to open a soup pot barbecue shop. This is the first one in the capital. The queen will be given 10% of the shares, and the court will also own 10%. The deed is in triplicate, and the queen is requested to put her handprint on it."

The Queen was delighted when she heard this. "The princess is sending me some money."

Nanny Luo echoed, "Your Majesty, that's right, it's still every month."
