Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 46 The Cloth Controversy
"The second princess is still young, and it's normal to be greedy. Concubine Hui, you don't want to be too harsh on her. In the future, just let the people around you pay attention." The queen said.

Concubine Hui replied with a smile: "What the empress said is true, the concubine has written it down."

The queen nodded, and ended today's greetings with a calm expression, "Okay, if there is nothing else, everyone should leave."

Everyone retreated and left. After the queen returned to her bedroom, she finally couldn't control the expression on her face. Her face was as heavy as the sky before a storm. The clouds were so thick that it was hard to breathe.

The teacup in hand was thrown to the ground, and the empress could no longer suppress her anger, "I just can't figure it out, my son is obviously the emperor's only prince, the most honored prince of the Yong Dynasty, but why is he not as good as a prince?" Is the little girl favored in front of the emperor and the empress dowager?"

Liuli and Fei Cui looked at each other, and Liuli, who was more popular with the Empress Dowager on weekdays, said cautiously: "Empress Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince is the only son of the Emperor. What about His Royal Highness?"

"It's just that His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country, and he will inherit the great rule in the future. If the emperor and the queen mother dote on His Royal Highness too much, it will harm His Royal Highness. On the contrary, they are strict with His Royal Highness. Isn't that just right?" Does it mean that the emperor and the empress dowager have high hopes for His Highness the Crown Prince, and hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the country and society in the future?"

Seeing the dark cloud on the queen's face slowly dissipating, Liuli continued: "Besides, the second princess is just a girl, so what if she is favored by the emperor and the empress dowager again, she will point to the favor of our crown prince in the future." live."

"Besides, why the emperor and the empress dowager dote on the second princess, don't you understand, empress? Isn't it because the second princess has been in poor health since she was a child? Mom, a princess who is in poor health may die that day, empress dowager Why do you have to be angry with someone like Hui Concubine?"

The queen calmed down slowly under Liuli's persuasion, she nodded and said: "You're right, it's just a girl's film, I don't need to take her seriously, so what if the emperor and the empress dowager dote on her again , this palace’s son is not the only heir to the Great Yongjiang Mountain.”

It's just that Concubine Hui, relying on the favor of the second princess from the Shou'an Palace and the emperor these years, has become less and less concerned about her, which makes her really annoyed.

If the second princess disappears one day, she will see how arrogant Concubine Hui is.

Thinking of that scene, the Queen couldn't help showing a carefree expression on her face.

Feeling better, the queen also thought of the business, and asked Liuli, "Shouldn't it be time for the sewing bureau to prepare winter clothes?"

In fact, the winter clothes should have been made a long time ago, but she has been busy with the Queen Mother's birthday banquet during this time, and forgot about it.

After Liuli nodded, the queen said: "Since this is the case, let the palaces go to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to choose the fabrics, and let the Needlework Bureau seize the time to do it, and the clothes of the palace people and eunuchs will also be refreshed." , don’t wait until winter, when everyone is still wearing last year’s old clothes.”

"Yes, Empress Empress, this servant will let the palaces be informed to choose the fabrics." Liuli responded and went down to work.

The queen glanced at the jade beside her, and continued to order: "The prince has worked hard in studying, let the small kitchen make a soup with ginseng, and drink it when the prince comes back at noon."

"Yes, empress." Fei Cui responded, and then asked: "Empress, what night?"

The queen waved her hand, "Let the small kitchen figure it out!"

Just as Fei Cui was about to respond, the Empress said again: "Prepare two more dishes that the Emperor likes."

Jade responded with a smile, and went to the small kitchen.

On Lu Wanning's side, at noon, she received a message to go to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to choose winter clothes. Lu Wanning thought about it and wanted Qing Dai to go to the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

The Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is extremely lively today, the grand maids of each palace are gone, and the other is coming, the Shang Gong of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is very busy, not to mention the two who are attracted to the same piece of fabric and are not willing to give up to each other. .

When Qing Dai went there, she happened to encounter this scene.

Miss Hanlu from Wen Zhaoyi's palace and Miss Lu'e from Xu Jieyu's palace are in a stalemate over a brocade of peacock feathers.

The peacock feather brocade is dyed exactly the same color as the peacock tail feathers, and dark patterns similar to peacock feathers are woven on it. If you can use it to make a cloak to wear on your body in winter, it will be very brilliant, even if it is It is understandable that the two do not give in to each other if it is not because of the discord between the two masters in the palace, but simply because of this piece of fabric.

It's just that Shang Gong, the head of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, was embarrassed by this. He persuaded this and that, but no one could persuade him.

While Qingdai was choosing fabrics for her master, she listened to the whispers of the palace people around her. It turned out that this piece of peacock plume brocade was chosen first by the girl Lu'e in Xu Jieyu's palace, and the one from Lu'e was better than that of Miss Hanlu in Wen Zhaoyi's palace. A little earlier, when I came here, I fell in love with this brocade with peacock feathers.

Who would have thought that just as Lv E from Xu Jieyu's palace asked the palace man in charge of registering for this piece of fabric, Han Lu from Wen Zhaoyi's palace who came behind also asked for this piece of peacock feather brocade.

Both wanted it, but there was only one piece of brocade with peacock feathers. The person in charge of the registration was very embarrassed, so he had to report it to Shang Gong, who was in charge.

It stands to reason that Lue came first and opened her mouth first, so this piece of fabric should naturally belong to Xu Jieyu, but Wen Zhaoyi's rank is one level higher than Xu Jieyu's, it would be fine if Xu Jieyu was more favored than Wen Zhaoyi Then, Shang Gong, who was in charge, directly asked people to register the fabrics with Xu Jieyu's palace.

Compared with Wen Zhaoyi, Xu Jieyu is not only not as high as Wen Zhaoyi, but also not as favored as Wen Zhaoyi. Even if she is in charge of the palace and knows that the peacock feather brocade should belong to Lue, she can't do it. Give this cloth to the green calyx.

She is persuading the two of them now, and most of all she is persuading Lue.

"Miss Lue, why don't you take a look at the other fabrics. A few days ago, we got a new piece of Ruyi Xiangyun pattern brocade. The weaving and dyeing is very beautiful, and the color is very authentic garnet red. It doesn't matter whether it's for a cloak or not. , or as a cloak and outer clothes, both are very suitable."

The in charge of Shang Gong has been persuading her for a while, and Lue doesn't want to give up, but seeing the expression of the in charge of Shang Gong, Lu'e also knows that even if the stalemate continues, this piece of brocade will not fall into their palace. Now go down the steps given by Shang Gong.

So, Lue nodded, and said: "Since Shang Gong said so, then I'll take a look at the Ruyi Xiangyun brocade that Shang Gong said, we Jieyu just like the color of pomegranate red."
