This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 107 Coral Turquoise Bracelet

A pregnancy will make a woman stupid for three years. The two masters in Xianfu Palace can infect each other. It's true that birds of a family are alike.

"Although a bowl of mung bean soup costs a lot of money nowadays, it is food after all, and one person can only eat three bowls at most. No matter how harshly the stewards treat the servants, the servants can still have a bowl of mung bean soup. But if it is exchanged for silver, the palace servants below will not get a cent."

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes and broke down the logic into pieces to explain it clearly to Concubine Shen.

Hua Fei: In order to prevent you from being taken advantage of, is it easy for me?

"Yes, Your Majesty is well versed in the affairs of the six palaces. I have learned a lot from your teachings." After hearing Concubine Hua's unpleasant explanation, Shen Meizhuang realized how big a problem the Queen had given her.

"What about Concubine Shen's fetus?" Concubine Jing hesitated to speak. Although Concubine Duan didn't quite understand, she knew from the tone of her voice that there was something fishy going on here.

"Wait a minute. It's still unclear whether Lady Shen's sea cucumber and abalone can be given away." Concubine Hua touched a new pair of pure gold sunflowers on her head. Two small pure gold phoenixes were lying quietly on the left and right. They were very cute. Even Wen Yi, who was in Shen Meizhuang's arms, was attracted by them when he saw them.

"Hua...Hua..." Wen Yi couldn't sit still in Shen Meizhuang's arms anymore, and he arched towards Concubine Hua, stretching out his hands for a hug.

Concubine Hua got off the couch and took the soft Wen Yi over.

Wen Yi was drooling with joy and grabbed the Zhai Fengniao on Concubine Hua's head.

"Wen Yi, don't be rude!" Concubine Jing knew that Concubine Hua loved to dress up. Wen Yi's little hands were not careful enough, and it would be bad if she messed up Concubine Hua's makeup.

"It's okay. Wen Yi likes it. I came here today just to see Wen Yi." Concubine Hua gently took Wen Yi's little hand away from her head, "Song Zhi."

Songzhi presented a hexagonal mother-of-pearl treasure box to Concubine Jing. Inside was a pair of solid gold phoenix birds strung with red ropes. The birds could be hung around Wen Yi's neck or tied around his wrist for Wen Yi to play with.

"I recently made a new headpiece and had some gold left over, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to melt it down and made a pair of small phoenix birds for Wen Yi to play with."

Everyone heard: There is some gold left...melt it down and give it to Wen Yi to play with...

Whose child under one year old uses gold as a toy?

"Also, my brother sent me some corals and turquoise from Qinghai. They are not worth much." Concubine Hua gave Guizhi a look behind her, asking her to step forward and open the box in her hand.

"I thought it looked interesting, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a few bracelets and sent them to you today. I didn't expect that Sister Duanfei was here too, which saved me from making another trip." (For the coral and turquoise bracelets, see the author's comments below.)

Concubine Jing: So you are here today just to be the concubine who gives away money?

"Shilan is thoughtful. The colors of the things produced in the northwest are indeed different from what we see in Beijing every day." Concubine Duan has been plain for many years. Now that she sees something so unique but not luxurious, with a bit of northwest folk style, she really likes it.

"Of course your things are all excellent." Concubine Jing also took the bracelet from Guizhi and looked at it carefully.

Neither of them felt that there was anything disrespectful about the arrogant Concubine Hua.

He asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a bracelet and delivered it personally. Who could be so impressive as to order Concubine Hua around? What's wrong with letting Concubine Hua be a little arrogant now!

"By the way, have you finished eating your blood swallows?" Concubine Hua was very happy to be praised, and asked casually, "You look good now. If you have finished eating, I will ask Lanzhi to send you some more."

"I appreciate your kindness, sister. I have brought all the gifts you sent me in winter to the Old Summer Palace."

Concubine Duan: Please don’t give me any more gifts. I’m almost becoming a wholesaler of blood swallows.

"Sister, please don't be polite. My brother sent a lot of these blood swallows from outside the palace, and they are placed in Yikun Palace."

Concubine Duan: I’m really not being polite to you.

"I have been out for a long time. It is time for me to take medicine. I am leaving first." Concubine Duan stood up and wanted to leave quickly. Anyway, she only came out for a walk occasionally. If she stayed out for a long time, she would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives and would inevitably get into trouble.

"It just so happened that Linglong came to my Qingliang Terrace for lunch at noon, so I left first." Linglong was becoming more and more comfortable living in the Old Summer Palace. When the wet nurse didn't keep an eye on her, Linglong ran from Yixia Pavilion to Qingliang Terrace in a flash.

After entering the Qingliang Terrace, he asked Zhou Ninghai to ride a big horse. He was so crazy that Zhou Ninghai actually indulged him. At this time, Zhou Ninghai's legs and feet did not seem to be unsteady.

Xianyue Pavilion returned to silence. Shen Meizhuang had lunch, rested for a while, and then got on the sedan chair to go to Qinzheng Palace.

This was the first time that Shen Meizhuang took the initiative to see the emperor after her house arrest was lifted.

When Xiao Xiazi saw Shen Meizhuang at the door, his eyes widened. The sun had risen from the west, and Concubine Shen actually came to see the emperor.

"Eunuch Xia, please inform him that I have something to discuss with the Emperor. I wonder if he is free at this moment." Shen Meizhuang has always been dignified and courteous to her servants.

Xiao Xiazi didn't dare to let Shen Meizhuang, who was pregnant with the royal heir, wait any longer, so he hurried in to report.

It just so happened that Zhen Huan was also serving as a clerk in the Qinzheng Palace. When she heard that her sister Mei had taken the initiative to see the emperor, she was happy for Shen Meizhuang, thinking that her sister had finally figured it out.

"The sun is so strong outside, please come in quickly, or you and the baby in your belly will get burned by the sun." Zhen Huan said to the emperor.

"Wanwan is right. Xiaoxiazi, please ask Concubine Shen to come in." The emperor was very happy that Shen Meizhuang finally took the initiative to come to him. It was obvious that granting her the opportunity to learn to assist in managing the affairs of the six palaces was a wise move.

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Concubine Shen was led in by Xiao Xiazi and walked in reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

"You are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite. Su Peisheng, bring a chair to Concubine Shen and a bowl of sour plum soup."

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Meizhuang: The formalities are over. You said there's no need to be so polite. You're such a nice person.
