But this thing was made by Lin Changzai himself, so it naturally has a different intention.
Qingying also became interested.
"Mrs. Lin is thoughtful. Hurry up and get up, Xiuxia, and bring it over to me. I'm very curious about her craftsmanship."
The queen did not refuse at all, which was a great gain.
Lin Changzai did not stand up immediately. She waited until Xiuxia took the brocade box away before she helped the maid to stand up.
Xiuxia brought the brocade box to Qingying.
When he opened the brocade box, he saw a golden hairpin inside.
She reached out and picked up the hairpin. The tassels underneath were made of densely packed pearls.
There are about five or six tassels, and at the bottom of each one hangs a royal blue gem the size of a little fingernail.
It looks very delicate, and must have been made with great care.
After a moment, Qingying sniffed it a few times and confirmed that the hairpin did not contain any secret or harmful things.
Then he nodded.
"Mrs. Lin is so thoughtful. I like this item very much."
Lin Changzai's nervous expression suddenly turned into joy.
"It is a blessing for this hairpin and this concubine that the queen likes it."
"Xiuxia, put this hairpin away. Go to the storehouse and get the pair of gold-threaded jade bracelets I obtained earlier. Give them to Concubine Lin."
"Your Majesty, this is not for reward..."
"Of course I know what Chang Zai meant, but this hairpin looks like it took a lot of thought. No reward without merit, so how could I accept it for nothing?"
Qingying interrupted Concubine Lin with a smile, and then continued, "I know that Concubine Lin has taken a lot of trouble for this, so I can't accept it for nothing. I will give you a pair of bracelets. Please don't be polite."
"The Empress is right. Concubine Lin is a skilled cook."
After Qingying finished speaking, Concubine Shu also spoke.
"I like this hairpin very much, it shows that Chang Zai has good craftsmanship."
"Although the things made by the Imperial Household Department are good, they sometimes fail to meet your expectations. If you have time in the future, why don't you make one for me?"
Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress and the Concubine Shu had always been one and the same.
Lin Changzai naturally understood.
Upon hearing this, she quickly turned around and knelt before Concubine Shu. "Thanks to the Empress and Concubine Shu for not abandoning me, I thank you both. Please rest assured, Concubine Shu, I will come up with a new idea for you later and present it to you."
"Since it's for Hailan, we can't let you provide the material yourself. Suo Xin, go talk to Xiu Xia and get some useful things for Concubine Lin."
At this point, Lin Changzai no longer refused.
He just bowed again with a happy face before turning around and sitting down.
Everyone could clearly see the different treatments that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Lin received in front of the Queen.
There is no one in the harem today who can compete with the queen.
They all started to think about whether they should follow Lin Changzai's method and try to please one or two people.
But not everyone has the skill to make jewelry.
Even if I feel jealous, I can only feel jealous.
With Lin Chang taking the lead and Concubine Shu asking her to make a hairpin later, the atmosphere in the palace became more harmonious.
Even Concubine Hui, who had always been reluctant to smile in front of lower-ranking concubines, began to speak frequently.
Because of the hairpin, everyone could see it clearly.
This Concubine Lin is really a capable person.
But I don’t know why this ability was hidden for so long before it was revealed to the public.
This year marks the first Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held in the entire palace after the late emperor observed three years of mourning.
According to Hongli's intention, it should be a grand event.
Zhaopin had just taken charge of the palace power, and she put a lot of thought into this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so the Imperial Household Department naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Sure enough, nothing went wrong in the end.
The next day, Qingying and Hongli sat opposite each other in Jingren Palace.
After drinking a bowl of red dates and snow frog, Qingying said, "Your Majesty, although it was Concubine Zhao's first time to host the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet yesterday, she did it very well. It seems that Concubine Zhao is indeed a capable person in charge."
"I originally thought that since she was the only one in the Forbidden City when we were in the garden, I would let her try it out. I didn't expect that she would turn out to be so useful. It's also a pleasant surprise."
