Chapter 608 Gifts
The gift that Shangguan Jingjin presented to the Empress Dowager also won the hearts of the old lady. It was a set of white jade and gold inlaid portraits of the Patriarchs of the Three Qing Dynasty, small in size but extremely delicate.

This thing was copied from Mr. Wu's house when they ransacked the house in Qingzhou. Xiao Jingheng took it out after registering it, and it was specially marked on the confiscated list that it would be dedicated to the Empress Dowager.

The old lady was really happy when she saw this gift, and praised the prince for his filial piety.

Filial piety ass!Shangguanjing, who knew the truth, secretly slandered that there are so many priceless good things in the Wu family, many of which are rare treasures.And this set of statues is the least valuable among them, even the Wu family is not uncommon, it was given to a concubine casually, and it was copied from the concubine's house.

The gifts that Xiao Jingheng used to give were almost all the same number of gifts. For example, what he took out to give to Empress Chen was a set of golden tree and plum blossom bonsai that was copied from Wu Wenyuan's favored concubine's house.

The small golden tree is inlaid with jade pieces. It is very small and delicate, and it looks gorgeous enough. If it is someone else's house, it can be regarded as a handy decoration. Unfortunately, in Wu's house, it is at most a casual ornament It's just.

The golden tree wasn't very big, and the craftsmanship wasn't particularly complicated, so it wasn't too valuable. It might not be as valuable as the gold-encrusted bead-and-green earrings that Xiao Jingheng planned to leave to Shangguanjing!Not to mention the exquisite workmanship of the Moth Hundred Corolla.

As for the things that Xiao Jingheng picked out for Shangguanjing in advance, there was a thick stack of receipts alone, including jewelry, clothing materials, supplies, and decorations. He wished to pick out the most exquisite collections for his wife and prepare Put it in the warehouse temporarily, and then go to the emperor to ask for it.

And Lu Shangshu, the new Household Department, was also strictly instructed by Xiao Jingheng. Those good things left by the prince in advance, he let people register and put them in the warehouse, and then sealed them up. Others didn't want to take a look at them. They were ready for the prince to pick them up at any time.

The prince was stingy with his own grandmother, but he couldn't help but know how to be a man. This white jade and gold statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty was still sent to the empress dowager's heart, making her so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

When Xiao Jingheng arrived at Shou'an Palace and the breakfast was served, the Empress Dowager was even happier!

After all, in Xiao Jingheng's mouth, those Qingzhou snacks and side dishes prepared according to the taste of his precious daughter-in-law were specially prepared for the empress dowager.And the two cooks brought from Qingzhou also became filial piety to the Empress Dowager, and changed the taste and appetizers for the Empress Dowager, so they brought them back and kept them in the East Palace.

The young couple sang and sang together, coaxing the empress dowager to be very happy. After breakfast, the young couple said goodbye together and left together. The old lady still looked reluctant to part, and kept asking the prince to come to Shou An when he was free. Sitting in the palace.

Of course, what the empress dowager is thinking about is her own grandson, and the grandson's wife doesn't have this kind of treatment. Anyway, the empress dowager never said that Shangguan should come to the harem often.

This is also understandable, the empress dowager is busy seizing power right now, and when she doesn't need her granddaughter-in-law, she naturally hopes that she will come to the harem less to meddle.

However, what she didn't know was that it was because of this young profiteering couple that she was busy again and again, without actually gaining any real power.Compared with the thankless empress dowager, the quiet young couple in the East Palace have already controlled half of the power in the Liushang Bureau in their own hands.

Shangshe Bureau, Shanggong Bureau and Shangshi Bureau had a big change. It was Shangguan Luan who came forward to hint that the emperor "personally selected candidates". The confidant of the harem.

Up to now, three of the Six Shang Bureaus have not been able to enter. From top to bottom, Xiao Jingheng's men and horses are managed by the East Palace like an iron bucket.

Of course, He Lingjun's contribution is not small. Xiao Jingheng left Beijing before finishing the poisoning case of the concubine in the harem. Concubine Lin Gui fell.

The power of the Shangshi Bureau was traded by Empress Chen to the Empress Dowager. He Lingjun and Shangguan Luan spent a lot of effort to prevent the Shangshi Bureau from falling into the hands of the Empress Dowager.

In the end, no one was able to get it right, and it was the Eldest Princess Xiao Mingrui who helped Donggong to firmly control the Shangshi Bureau.

Xiao Mingrui didn't like the harem. After she got married, she seldom interfered in the affairs of the harem. Every time she made an exception to meddle in the affairs of the harem, it was for the nephew and the young couple.

Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Jing knew how kind their aunt was to them, so when they returned from Qingzhou, the gifts they gave to Xiao Mingrui's family were not as careless as giving gifts to the harem.

For the young couple in the East Palace, the aunt's family is the real relatives, but those in the harem, including the pro-grandmother and the one on the throne, are actually not.

Although she didn't want to see Empress Chen's face, after all, she was still the empress of the main palace, the aunt of Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing, so if she didn't want to, they had to go to Weiyang Palace to greet her when they traveled back to Beijing.

However, unexpectedly, the young couple was holding the pot of golden plum flower bonsai, which was not counted before, and before they reached Weiyang Palace, they heard that the Empress Empress hurriedly went to Shujing Palace.

"What's the matter with Zhou Baolin?" Shangguan Jing asked pretending to be concerned.Doing the math, they have been away from Beijing for such a long time, Zhou Baolin's baby must be six or seven months old, and her belly should be very big. With Queen Chen's meticulous care, it is difficult for others to find opportunities.

Unless...unless Zhou Baolin cooperates himself.

"I don't know." The servants who stayed in Weiyang Palace cast a serious look, as if they were very wary of Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng, and didn't want to answer too many questions from them.

"Why don't we also go to Shujing Hall?" Shangguanjing turned her head to look at Xiao Jingheng, and said very intentionally: "In case something happens, I can help my mother."

"Your Highness and Your Majesty don't need to worry." The servants of Weiyang Palace really stopped him: "Zhou Baolin has nothing to do, it's a month old, and it's common to feel uncomfortable occasionally. You are not allowed to enter and leave the Shujing Palace at will, and your Highness and Your Majesty will not be able to help you if you go. Yes. The empress is not free today, and it is the same for His Highness and empress to come back another day."

The servants of Weiyang Palace almost directly said that the young couple in the East Palace were not welcome. Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng didn't care about it. They handed over the plum blossom bonsai to the maid of Weiyang Palace, left greetings and left.

Before going out, Shangguan Jing deliberately turned her head and glanced at the court lady who took over the bonsai. Seeing that she was holding the bonsai, she looked like she was holding some hot potato, with a cautious and tangled expression, which made Shangguan Jing almost laugh out loud. .

"Hey," Shangguan Jing tugged at Xiao Jingheng's cuff as he walked out, "Look at the expression of that palace lady, could it be that they are worried that we will poison the bonsai?"

　---Here is the dividing line that will deceive people--
　　In short, the presents for Empress Chen and the Empress Dowager looked shiny, but they were actually not very good things. Xiao Hengheng was eyeing all the good things and was going to give them to his wife!
　　But although the gifts were not unusual, Hengheng would coax people who couldn't stand it, no matter what was given, the empress dowager was very happy.

　　Of course, this old lady has always been a good son and grandson.

　　Thanks to Yun Qingqing, Pilimu, Quan Cheng Lian oo, and Tuantuan's little boots for their daily dried fish! !
