Chapter 775 Gifts
In this day and age, if you don't accept a gift, you will look aloof.If you accept it, you must return the gift.

Yao Huahua was having a headache, but a good idea suddenly popped into her mind: except for the first gift from her family, the other gifts were from other people's homes.

For example, official A sent a calligraphy and painting, official B sent a precious sword, and official C sent a vase, then she would return the calligraphy and painting to official B, and then return the precious sword to official C, and so on...

It's just that this was not a good thing. The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a group of ministers sat together to chat. When it came to giving gifts, Official C showed off: "Pei Shangshu is really good. He is worthy of being a general. This Mid-Autumn Festival, he gave me a gift. A precious sword, I will definitely keep it well.”

Official Yi said: "Pei Shangshu not only knows how to fight, he also has good taste. This Mid-Autumn Festival, he gave me a calligraphy and painting. It must be the calligraphy and painting of Wang Yanzhi that he has treasured for many years."

Official Ding said: "Then Pei Shangshu is really a man of taste, what he gave me is a vase."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that something was wrong, and they looked at the treasures they received one by one. After reading, the group of people were shocked:

"Hey, isn't this the treasured sword I found from a famous swordsmith some time ago?"

"Isn't this the calligraphy and painting that I found after going to the folks for three months?"

"This vase...is a jade vase from more than 1000 years ago. My God, it took me a year to find it."

"..."

Originally, after these officials received the gifts from Pei Baoshan, they all hid them like treasures. Now when they heard who it belonged to, they immediately felt that it was worthless, and felt that their original treasures were still valuable.

After all, the person who received the sword was a civil servant, and what he liked were calligraphy and painting, while the person who received the vase only liked musical instruments, and had no research on antiques.

So they went full circle, and they all returned to their original treasures.

Somehow this matter got to the emperor. The emperor leaned forward with a smile, turned around and asked someone to reward Yao Huahua, and even asked Yao Huahua to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held in the harem, and the host is the concubine in the palace.

The emperor is over 50 this year, but there are many concubines in the palace, ranging from forty or fifty to seventeen or eighteen. There are five or sixty concubines alone, plus some princesses and princes, there are one hundred in the harem alone. Yu people.

Not only the harem, but also some ministers and their families. In this era, there are no big round tables for banquets in the palace, but small square tables. There are hundreds of tables in this arrangement.

It was the first time for Yao Huahua to go to the harem, and she thought the dinner was very spectacular and lively.

Both Pei Baoshan and Yao Huahua were the subject of heated discussions in the court, and the harem naturally spread the word.

I heard that Pei Baoshan is very beautiful, and his wife is a clever little girl. The two are childhood sweethearts and have a very deep relationship, so they both want to see her true face.

Therefore, as soon as Pei Baoshan and Yao Huahua appeared, all the concubines in the harem looked at him.

"Sure enough, they are beautiful people. Both of them are not inferior."

"It's really a match, one is tall and tall, and the other is a little bird."

"It's a pity that Pei Shangshu only married one person, otherwise the women in the capital would rush to be his concubine."

"That's true……"

Pei Baoshan and Yao Huahua sat down in their seats generously. Seeing everyone looking at her, Yao Huahua couldn't help picking up her cup, and then raised it to everyone, doing it first as a respect.
