After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 258 Day Reward
"My son thanked my mother and concubine for your understanding." Xiao Jingheng nodded, and then added flatly: "The Yang sisters have lived in the imperial grandmother's palace for a long time."

"Yang family." Concubine Lin Guifei's eyes quickly flashed a trace of disdain, obviously she looked down on the second-rate family Yang's family.It's just that since the queen mother was born in the Yang family, she can't say much.

"Also," Xiao Jingheng added: "My concubine still remembers that a few days ago, the prime minister's wife came to the palace to visit the empress, and not only brought her two daughters-in-law, but also her little granddaughter."

Xiao Jingheng said this on purpose to Concubine Lin Gui, with obvious hints.In fact, the prime minister's wife did not necessarily have any special purpose when she brought her little granddaughter into the palace.But Xiao Jingheng's hint could not stop Concubine Lin Gui from thinking more.

The emperor has been reluctant to let Shangguan Jing enter the palace, which shows that he is not very satisfied with his current daughter-in-law.So what kind of girl is the ideal concubine in the emperor's heart?Chen's daughter, or Su's daughter?But in any case, it is impossible for her to be a girl from the Lin family.

However, for Concubine Lin Gui, whether she really likes Shangguan Jing or not, the daughter-in-law who was born in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion must be much better than the daughter-in-law who was born in the Chen family or the Su family.If Chen's daughter really entered the palace and became Xiao Jingheng's woman, then she, the "adoptive mother", was the real wedding dress for Empress Chen!

Concubine Lin Guifei didn't say anything more about Xiao Jingheng's obvious hint.Xiao Jingheng clicked as far as he could, and when he had finished speaking, he immediately took his leave and left.

This trip was not in vain, because he knew that Concubine Lin Gui would cooperate in every aspect.

And Shangguanjing outside the palace received two letters from Xiao Jingheng the night before, one was for her, and the other was entrusted to her to give to Taiwei Lin.
Xiao Jingheng did not seal the letter handed over to Taiwei Lin, and Shangguanjing could also read it.Of course, this was not sealed, and the main purpose was not for my daughter-in-law to review the content of the letter, but for Wu Dinghou to read.

After Shangguanjing got the letter, she ran directly to the study in the front yard to find her conspirator father.Marquis Wu Ding finished reading Xiao Jingheng's letter to Taiwei Lin, and he took the initiative to order Shangguan Jing to visit Taiwei's mansion tomorrow.

This was the same as Shangguanjing's previous plan. Wu Dinghou cooperated without her asking.

On the Dragon Boat Festival in May, a big drama jointly cooperated by the two parties kicked off.Early in the morning, Concubine Lin Gui sent a team of internal eunuchs from the palace to come to Marquis Wuding's mansion with great fanfare to give Shangguan Jing a gift.

This is not the first time Shangguanjing has received a Dragon Boat Festival gift from the palace.

However, the Dragon Boat Festival gift given to the princess and daughter-in-law by the mother-in-law of a high-ranking concubine is naturally not like the rice dumplings, jade pendants and bracelets that the empress dowager gave her when she coaxed her children.

Concubine Lin Gui is very particular about etiquette, from face to face.In addition to the usual round fans, ribbons, fragrant medicine sachets, palace-made rice dumplings, and five-poison cakes, there are also two golden brocades and a set of jewelry.

The brocade and jewelry are interesting.What Concubine Lin Guifei gave to Shangguan Jing were two gold brocades with scarlet swastika patterns. Many noble clans and dignitaries in Beijing had received such brocades before the festival.

Rewarding brocades on the Dragon Boat Festival is also a common practice in the palace, but the brocades are also divided into grades. The two brocades sent by Concubine Lin are red woven gold brocades, concubines of the rank of concubine and above in the palace, and princesses in the clan. , Only the princess.

Concubines with lower ranks, as well as princesses and masters of the county, all get red embroidered gold yarn, and there are no rewards for the ranks below the princess and princess.This kind of customary reward is the same every year, that is, the color of each year is different.

Like the warehouse of the Eldest Princess Xiao Mingrui's house, such brocades could be piled up from the floor to the roof.

But Shangguanjing has been married to Xiao Jingheng for so many years, and has never received a brocade reward.Because during the years in the Huaiyang Palace, the King of Huaiyang never granted Xiao Jingheng a title, but the eldest son Xiao Jingyan's wife, Wei Shi, received gold embroidered yarn from the palace every year.

And this year, Shangguan Jing, the concubine who was not in the palace, seemed to be "accidentally" ignored by the emperor, and the brocade rewarded before the festival did not belong to her.

But on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Lin Gui in the palace gave Shangguan Jing a first-class reward.This is a subtle hint, and those who are interested will naturally understand it.And even if the emperor is unhappy, he can't find anything wrong.

Concubine Lin Gui only gave the reward she got to her daughter-in-law, so what can the emperor say?

And the set of jewelry given by Concubine Lin Gui is even more interesting.Among them is a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin, which is only one level worse than the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin that the queen can wear. Under normal circumstances, only noble concubines, eldest princesses, and crown princes can wear it. Princes and princesses only wear five-tailed phoenix hairpins. It's just a phoenix hairpin.

Very occasionally, princesses with extremely high clan status will be rewarded with seven-tailed phoenix hairpins. It is said that in the entire Great Zhou clan, only the elderly Princess Su has seven-tailed phoenix hairpins.

This set of jewelry was given to Concubine Lin Guifei by the emperor after she became a noble concubine. Now she specially dug it out and gave it to Shangguan Jing, and passed it on to her daughter-in-law as her mother-in-law's jewelry.

Concubine Lin Gui made such a publicity on purpose, so the news naturally couldn't be concealed, so in a short period of time, it spread throughout the entire capital, and almost everyone knew that Shangguan Jing had received the golden brocade and seven-tailed phoenix hairpins sent by the concubine from the palace. .

Many people are wondering if Concubine Lin Gui rewarded such an obvious status symbol with the emperor's order behind it?Perhaps the concubine, Shangguanjing, will enter the palace soon!

But on this day, when Shangguanjing went out to visit guests, she did not show off around with the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin as expected by everyone in the capital.She is still very measured, after all, although many people have acquiesced, Xiao Jingheng is about equal to the prince.But the emperor didn't make a decree to seal her, and she is not yet a crown princess. Shangguanjing would not do anything that violated the rules and made people pull her pigtails.

When she went out, she was still not dressed luxuriously. The primrose-colored silver embroidered butterfly dress prepared for her by Mrs. Wu Dinghou was fresh and light in color, with a cloud bun on her head and two sapphire pearl flowers, and Xiao Jingheng personally Two wooden hairpins carved for her.

The most gorgeous accessory on the whole body is a red gold hairpin inlaid with emerald rice beads and tassels, which was specially turned out by Mrs. Wu Dinghou to match her skirt.

However, for a super beauty of Shangguanjing's level, even if she doesn't dress up seriously, she is still shockingly beautiful, her eyebrows are unpainted but green, her lips are not pimple but red, her pupils are cut, like broken stars, and her perfect cheeks With a natural and healthy peach blossom color, a light-colored dress set off her smooth muscles and bones, and her wrists were snow-white.

　---Here is the dividing line of rewards--
　　The last time Xiao Jingjing received a Dragon Boat Festival reward was when she was in the Huaiyang Palace!At that time, some friends expressed their strangeness about the five poison cakes.

　　This is actually a very traditional seasonal dim sum, a set of five yuan, just an ordinary dim sum, but with patterns of five poisonous poisons printed on it, snakes, scorpions, etc., to pray for insects and disasters.

　　Thanks to Perak and Tuantuan's little boots for their daily dried fish! !Tuantuan, you fed the dried fish twice yesterday, are you confused?
