The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 208 Big Sister Gives Birth to a Dragon Son
A few days later, since Qiao Liuxiu got married, the Qiao residence was very quiet.Nothing would disturb Qiao Jiuxiu's purity.One day, my wife was admiring flowers in the garden with Qiao Jiuxiu, when suddenly I heard the magpies chirping in front of the court, very happy.Qiao Jiuxiu took the opportunity to say, "Ma'am, listen, the magpies are so happy, I don't know what happy event happened."

There was a faint smile on the wife's face. There was always a happy event when a magpie came to the door. Since it was a good event, she naturally looked forward to it happening soon.He bowed his head and thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, Yuan Xiu's body has been around for a while, and it seems that she is about to be born. I don't know if it's a prince or a princess."

"Ma'am, when I entered the palace last time, the eldest sister told me that the imperial doctor said that her baby is a prince and that it is healthy." Qiao Jiuxiu helped his wife to sit down. She is the daughter of Qiao's mansion, and she can make decisions in Qiao's mansion. Her fate is only for her wife, and only if she pleases her, can her life in Qiao's mansion be smooth.Although I know that I am a bit spineless like this, but who makes this the pathetic of being a concubine?

It seems to be her destiny to live under the fence and watch people's faces.

The wife heard Qiao Jiuxiu's words, and the smile on her face deepened, "Really? If Yuan Xiu really gave birth to a prince, I will definitely give Jiu Yato a red envelope, thank you for your good words."

Qiao Jiuxiu hastily thanked his wife for her kindness. She is waiting for the money to be used. Seventh Sister is about to get married. She is thinking about when she will go shopping for a piece of jewelry. Later, if the wife can give me a reward, this problem will be solved easily. "Then I'm here to thank my wife."

The wife nodded, as she agreed, and walked to the flower garden, carefully sizing up the begonias in front of her, because it hadn't bloomed yet, so there was only a piece of green, but it didn't feel depressed, but it was refreshing.The wife squatted down slightly, and was about to sniff it when she saw Ruyi trotting over, looking very flustered.The wife couldn't help frowning slightly, "Ruyi, why are you so reckless, you have been in Qiao's mansion for a long time, can't you be more calm?"

Although Ruyi was reprimanded by his wife, there was always a smile on his face, "Ma'am, someone came from the palace. It is said that the eldest lady gave birth to a prince, and the emperor sent someone to read the imperial decree and brought a lot of things. I was sent here to invite you, and I am still waiting for the decree."

The wife was obviously taken aback when she heard this, but she came to her senses and hurriedly trotted all the way to the main hall, regardless of whether she was calm or not.Qiao Jiuxiu also trotted all the way behind his wife, so she didn't care about the etiquette of everyone's ladies. She was only happy for the eldest sister. She was worried that the eldest sister would be bullied in the palace. Now it seems that she lives very comfortably in the palace. After having a prince, her status in the palace will also be promoted to a certain extent, and no one will bully her in the future.

She is sincerely happy that her eldest sister has found a good home.While thinking about it, several people had already arrived at the main hall, and the majestic man held the imperial decree in his hand, with a slow smile on his face.Qiao Jiuxiu gave the man a strange look, she never thought that the person who read out the imperial decree was actually Chen Chu whom she hadn't seen for a long time.Chu Dichen shook his head, of course it was not his turn for the majestic Ninth Prince to come in person for this kind of thing, but thinking that he could see Qiao Jiuxiu in a fair manner, he took over the job.

Although he had met his wife a few times before, the wife didn't know his real identity, she only knew that he was a dignitary in Beijing and a descendant of a famous family.That's why he dared to come here with such great fanfare, but Ye Duanyi at the side couldn't hide it. Ye Duanyi grew up in the capital since she was a child, and often followed her father in and out of the military camp. It was natural to know herself.But he has warned her many times before, so he is not worried that Ye Duanyi will tell Qiao Jiuxiu her identity.

"Mrs. Qiao, accept the edict." Seeing that everyone was almost there, Chen Chu took out a scroll of imperial edict and opened it.After three shouts of long live, everyone knelt down.Qiao Jiuxiu murmured in her heart, she never expected to give such a big gift to Chen Chuxing.However, when he came here today, he wore a belt that he made himself. Not to mention it fit well on his body, it added a bit of arrogance, as if he was a born king.It's not in vain that I worked overtime for a long time.

"Qiao's eldest daughter, Yuan Xiuxiu, is gentle and gentle. She has given birth to a prince within a year after entering the palace. I am very pleased. Today, Qiao Yuanxiu is specially named as the concubine of Qi, and given a few pieces of brocade and a box of jewels. Qiao Sihai has contributed to the Sheji was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Household Department, and was promoted to the third grade of official. Qiao's dedication to assisting her husband and caring for her husband and children should also be rewarded for her merits. Feng Sipin ordered his wife to enter the harem at any time to visit Concubine Qi, and there are other rewards. this."

Chu Dichen closed the imperial decree, and didn't call everyone to get up, but took half a step back, looking at Qiao Jiuxiu with a pair of eyes smiling, it's really been a day, like three autumns.If it weren't for the fact that she was not yet ready to marry, he really wanted to marry her right away, and then hide her in the golden house.

The people from the first palace walked forward with the gift list, bowed to Emperor Chu first, and then read out to the gift list, "The emperor bestowed a pair of Ruyi jade from the South China Sea, and four blood corals from the East China Sea to Qiao's mansion."

As soon as the words were finished, several court ladies came in with Yu Ruyi and Xue Shanhu in their hands, and found several places to put them down.The jade Ruyi is about six feet long, light green all over, and crystal clear, it is definitely a good work.Let’s talk about blood corals, corals only grow one inch a year, but the two pairs of blood corals in front of me are three feet away, and the color is bright red. Even the well-informed wife has never seen such good corals. Atmosphere, you must know that blood coral is a rare treasure.

"The emperor bestowed a piece of Hetian beautiful jade and a pair of emerald cabbages."

The palace people came in and out, and put Hetian Meiyu and jadeite cabbage on the table again.Although jade is not uncommon, Hetian jade is very precious. It is said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is especially suitable for wearing on the body. If it was carved into a jade pendant, each of the wives and aunts of the Qiao Mansion would still be rich, but since it was rewarded by the emperor, how could it be broken into pieces to make a jade pendant.

Besides, the emerald cabbage is made of a three-inch square emerald green jadeite, and then the best craftsmen in the country are invited to carve the jadeite into the shape of cabbage, which is not only exquisite, but also auspicious.As for the price, there has always been money but no stock, no matter how high the price is, it may not be available.

"The emperor bestowed a hundred pieces of fine brocade and five altars of jade liquid and fine nectar."

Another group of palace people came in and put down the cloth in their hands. Qiao Jiuxiu looked up and saw that they were all first-class golden silk thread. When making the wedding dress for Ye Duanyi back then, they used golden silkworm embroidered cloth. Although the embroidered cloth is also popular among the people, the supply has always been in short supply, and it has been fired to sky-high prices.If it wasn't for Su Xiuniang's face last time, I probably wouldn't be able to buy it.It is said that Yuye Qiongye is a tribute from Tubo, and it was introduced from outside the fan, and only the royal family can enjoy it. Of course, outsiders will be rewarded occasionally, but it is the first time that so many rewards have been rewarded.

"The emperor bestowed a table for all the Manchus and Hans to have fun with them." The palace servants read out for about a stick of incense before finishing all the various rewards, and then retreated. Chu Dichen signaled everyone to thank them and get up .Everyone quickly shouted Long live again, and then stood up.Although the wife felt that her legs were numb, her face was full of smiles. Qiao Yuanxiu really saved face for the Qiao family this time. It was definitely the first time that so many rewards were given.

"Mrs. Qiao, Concubine Qi still has a few words for me to bring to Miss Jiu alone. Is it convenient for her to take a step to talk to me?" Chu Dichen said to Mrs. Qiao politely.Mrs. Qiao nodded, "Jiu girl, just let him go. By the way, my lord, if it is convenient, can you stay for dinner at night?" The wife saw that Chu Dichen was either rich or expensive, so she naturally wanted to It is reasonable to treat him to a meal after he has brought a series of good news.If he is unwilling, at least she has done enough in terms of etiquette.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Chu Dichen didn't refuse, nodded slightly to his wife, and then went to a pavilion in the backyard with Qiao Jiuxiu.Because of the elder sister's matter, Qiao Jiuxiu was also very happy in her heart, "By the way, what does elder sister want to tell me? I really didn't expect that you would come here specially for such a small matter."

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know Chen Chu's specific official position, but he should be very powerful in his conversation. She didn't expect that he would personally take part in delivering the decree, which made her feel a little strange.Chu Dichen chuckled, "Of course it's not my turn to deliver the decree, but if I said I came here just for you, would you take it seriously?"

Although he used a teasing tone, Qiao Jiuxiu still blushed, "Don't say that, it will be misunderstood if others hear it. By the way, you haven't said that Eldest Sister has something to say to me, she is in the palace. Are you lonely? If I want to visit her in the palace, will it be troublesome?"

"It won't be very troublesome, just tell me, and I will take you into the palace." Although it is indeed troublesome to bring people into the palace, for Qiao Jiuxiu, Chu Dichen can not be afraid of trouble, and he came to the palace to visit Qi Concubine, it's justifiable. "Okay, let me tell you the truth, Concubine Qi has nothing to say to you, but I have something to say to you alone."

"Ah?" Qiao Jiuxiu was slightly taken aback, what does he have to say to himself?She could only shrug her shoulders slightly, "Okay, tell me, what do you want from me."

"The belt is very good, I like it very much." Chu Dichen lowered his head slightly, glanced at the belt tied around his waist, and said lightly, somewhat avoiding the importance.
