The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 262 Gift giving is a science
Yun Lanyue and Concubine Liu went to Xuanhua Palace where Concubine Gu is located. Xuanhua Palace was originally the seat of Concubine Shu, but after Concubine Shu was demoted to Concubine Lu, she moved to Qingning Palace. This matter of Xuanhua Palace , it was naturally handed over to Gu Zhaoyi who had been in the palace for the longest time, and now he was promoted to the rank of concubine, and it was a matter of course.

A lot of people came to congratulate her today. Concubine Gu welcomed a group and sent another group away. She has been busy until now without taking a break. She was quite surprised to welcome Yun Lanyue and Concubine Liu, especially when she saw the There were two congratulatory gifts in the hands of the two maids, obviously they came to her first.

"Concubine Liu, Concubine Crown Princess, I don't know if you two are coming, so I am far away to welcome you."

"Concubine Gu is too polite. Knowing that Concubine Gu must be very busy today, how can she care about such a trivial matter?"

"Thank you two empresses for your tolerance, hurry up and sit in the palace."

Concubine Liu looked around and said with a smile: "Concubine Gu, this Xuanhua Palace was originally the place where Lu Shuhua lived. When she was Concubine Shu, this palace was very luxurious. Just the tribute parrots raised two It's just that it's a lot quieter now."

"That's right. When Lu Shuhua moved to Qingning Palace, she also took those two parrots away. After this incident, the concubine made a special inventory. Some things that shouldn't be kept are handed over to the empress."

"Well, it's smart of you to do so. The empress always likes to be proactive, and I think I will praise you a lot."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. These are all matters of the concubine's duty. Besides, if things that should not be kept in Xuanhua Palace, the concubine will feel uncomfortable."

Concubine Liu thought that Gu Zhaoyi was also hurt by Lu Shuhua, so she didn't say anything else. The group entered the main hall of Concubine Gu's bedroom, and Concubine Gu asked the maid Luying beside her to quickly serve tea and refreshments. Came to greet them: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess, I'm really sorry, it's a bit messy here, and it's dirty the eyes of the two empresses."

"I'm afraid there are quite a few people here to congratulate you today, and that's common sense." As he said that, Yun Lanyue winked at Ji Shui: "I don't know what Concubine Gu likes, seeing that Concubine Gu usually wears Jade decorations are the main ones, so I chose a jade Ruyi on my own initiative, and the workmanship is exquisite, I don't know if the concubine Gu is happy?"

Concubine Lu glanced at it, picked it up and held it in the palm of her hand, and said with a smile, "Of course I like it, but this gift is really too expensive, how can I afford it?"

"Giving gifts to the moon is never based on whether you can afford it or not. It only depends on whether you are worthy or not. Today, Mrs. Gu is wearing jade beads and jade bracelets, which match this jade Ruyi very well. It seems that Lanyue did not give the wrong gift. Please also give me a gift. The concubine must accept it."

"The Crown Princess is not willing to let go of this great gift. Naturally, I am very happy. Even if the Crown Princess wants to take it back, I am afraid that I will not agree. The Crown Princess has a heart."

"It's good that Concubine Gu likes it."

After Concubine Gu put away the congratulatory gifts, Concubine Liu also gave Xiangling a wink, Xiangling put the brocade box on the table and stepped aside, Concubine Liu opened the brocade box herself, and said: "Originally, I prepared the brocade box with ingenious craftsmanship. However, the Crown Princess happened to be passing by, so Ben Gong asked, and the Crown Princess was observant and knew that Concubine Gu usually wore jade ornaments, so she changed this pair of jade bracelets, which belonged to Ben Gong. My natal family brought it back from outside last year and gave it to Bengong. I thought it looked pretty good, so I didn't want to wear it. Today I gave it to my younger sister, Concubine Gu. Her skin is fair and tender, and this translucent jade bracelet is the most suitable."

"Your Majesty's gift is too precious. Don't say anything else, it's just the way it came from. But with the kindness of your natal family, how can a concubine win her love?"

Concubine Liu immediately became unhappy with these words: "Concubine Gu, what's wrong? After accepting the crown princess's jade Ruyi, I won't accept this pair of jade bracelets?"

"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean by a concubine."

"There's no reason to take back the gift I sent out, so Concubine Gu should take it."

Concubine Gu looked a little embarrassed, and quickly put away the gift: "Since the empress cuts off her love, then the concubine would be more respectful than obedient, but the concubine is really ashamed of receiving it, and I will definitely come to pay my respects someday."

Concubine Liu nodded in satisfaction, thinking that Concubine Gu finally understood what she meant. Since she wanted to form her own school, the first thing to do was to buy people's hearts. Concubine Liu gave Concubine Gu the bracelet from her mother's family. The meaning is to treat her as a family member, and it is precisely because Gu Concubine understands this that she dare not accept the jade bracelet, but now that she has accepted it, it is tantamount to admitting that she is on Concubine Liu's side, even though Concubine Liu is also She is on the empress's side, but for Concubine Gu, Concubine Liu's sudden move made her at a loss what to do.

Concubine Liu is not such a careful and gentle person, let alone picking a gift that the other party likes. This kind of thing has never been Concubine Liu's style, so she thinks that it is better to give her a gold ornament Forget it, or anything else, anyway, she was flustered because she didn't have a bracelet from her natal family.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, the three of them were chatting casually, and at this moment, Concubine Liang came.

Concubine Liang brought a congratulatory gift, and she was accompanied only by Ningshuang, a close-fitting court lady, who was the first concubine. Her posture was too low-key, but it was also in line with her style.

Concubine Liang entered the door and saw Concubine Liu, she quickly blessed her body: "I didn't expect Concubine Liu to be here, this concubine is rude."

Concubine Liu waved her hand indifferently: "Concubine Liang, you are welcome. You and I are both concubines. You don't need to salute to me. Since you are here to congratulate Concubine Gu, let's sit down and talk together."

Concubine Gu greeted quickly: "Yes, Concubine Liang, please sit down."

Concubine Liang responded, took the brocade box from Ningshuang's hand, and placed it in front of Concubine Gu: "After choosing and choosing, I think this emerald jade bead necklace is the most suitable for Concubine Gu, and I hope Concubine Gu will not dislike it."

Concubine Gu opened it, took a look, and accepted it with a smile: "The concubine Liang has a very good vision, and the concubine likes it very much, thank you very much." She got up and bowed her body: "Today, the concubine should have come to greet the concubine. , but let the empress come here first, it is really impolite, please wait a moment."

While Concubine Gu went to the back room, Yun Lanyue and Concubine Liu also presented the gifts prepared for Concubine Liang. Yun Lanyue made rice paper, Concubine Liu was a brush holder made of high-quality red sandalwood, and Concubine Liang even I like it, thank you again and again.

Concubine Gu brought a pink flying gold satin from the back room, and smiled with a blushing face: "I think there is nothing missing for the concubine Liang. This brocade silk was originally prepared for myself, but I'm afraid it's too tender to make clothes of this color. It is not suitable for courtiers and concubines to wear, so I kept it on, and today I suddenly thought that Princess Ming Yuan is in her youth, the clothes of this color must be beautiful, and the silk and satin are useful, I just hope that the empress will not dislike it."

In this harem, gift-giving is also a subject of knowledge. It seems that the four of them give gifts to each other like an ordinary behavior, but in fact, they have already shortened the distance between each other. From the perspective of others, they are already the same faction.

　The fifth watch is over!
