Chapter 254
Concubine Guo Shu saw that the emperor's tone softened a lot, and said: "Since Tongchang is looking forward to the emperor's treasure so much, let's look at the emperor's treasure first!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Guo Shu and said: "I know that my concubine is narrow-minded! There are good things that must be hidden! Chang Man, lift that thing up!" Chang Man hurriedly agreed and ordered to go down. After a while, several tall men The eunuch brought up a huge statue, covered with a red cloth, which was quite mysterious. Although Princess Tongchang had heard that it was a white jade statue, she was still very surprised to see it.

With a little excitement, he said: "Father! It's really big. Is this the white jade statue?" The emperor smiled helplessly. He knew that such a treasure could not be hidden from Princess Tongchang!
"Tongchang, go and see for yourself, does it look like you?" Princess Tongchang was both excited and nervous, so she stepped forward and lifted the red cloth, only to see a gorgeous statue appearing in front of everyone!The statue is not only exactly the same as Princess Tongchang, but even the expression is very similar, gentle and shy, reluctant to speak, even Princess Tongchang watched it, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "It's so beautiful!"

The emperor was very proud, and said: "After I got this huge piece of white jade, I have been thinking about getting a statue for Tongchang, but I have never found such a good carver. This time, I finally found it from Fanwai." Master, I used Tong Chang's portrait to carve this statue, so I knew Tong Chang would like it!"

Looking at the lifelike statue, Yang Yu couldn't help feeling sad, the statue is beautiful, but it's not auspicious for a living person to make a statue!Usually people only make statues when they miss someone, but this Princess Tongchang... that's all!If the emperor loves it like this, let it be like this.

Everyone was full of admiration, and Wei Baoheng's words of praise were beyond words. The emperor was very happy, and even Concubine Guo Shu showed a smile. Although the concubine Wang Guifei stepped on her foot just now, the emperor's love for Princess Tongchang still made Concubine Guo Shu feel very happy. proudly!
Since ancient times, Princess Tongchang should have been favored by her alone. This cannot but be said to be the blessing of Princess Tongchang, and also the blessing of Concubine Guo Shu!
Concubine Guo Shu said with a smile: "Once the emperor takes out this treasure, everyone's gifts don't need to be taken out!"

Everyone agreed: "The emperor loves the princess very much, how can we compare?" The emperor couldn't help but feel complacent, and said: "Okay! What gifts have you prepared for Princess Tongchang, bring them out!"

First he played jade and played the qin, and brought out a small and exquisite attic, and said with a smile: "This is a gadget made by our sisters, I hope the princess will accept it!" The small attic is very exquisite, with doors and windows, just like a farmhouse Princess Tongchang couldn't help but be greatly surprised by her appearance, and said: "Thank you two ladies for the gift, Tongchang likes it very much!"

The emperor looked at Nongyu and Fuqin, and said, "I never thought you would have such skills, and you didn't make one for me!" Nongyu smiled lightly, full of beauty, and said, "They are all little things from my daughter's house, Your Majesty. If you like it, the concubine and sister will make it overnight!"

The emperor laughed and said: "I just said, how can you be willing to work so hard for your sisters?"

Princess Tongchang looked at Concubine Guo Shu, and said coquettishly, "Mother Concubine! It's time to take out your gift! Tongchang is very impatient!"

Concubine Guo Shu cast a reproachful glance at Princess Tongchang, and said, "I can't do without you!" She winked at Xia Sheng, Xia Sheng understood, and walked out of Huae Tower. It magnified immediately, and the surprise was beyond words!
It turned out that Xia Sheng was holding a snow-white Persian cat in his hands!

Concubine Guo Shu smiled and said, "Tongchang! Don't you always complain that the kittens you raise are all female cats, unable to reproduce, and you don't want them to have hybrids with that wild cat? The concubine mother specially found one for you. Male cat, you should be happy now!"

Sure enough, Princess Tongchang was very pleasantly surprised, and said: "The son-in-law has been searching for a long time, but he can't find this snow-white tomcat. It's the concubine who has a way!"

Concubine Guo Shu's face froze suddenly.In fact, this cat was found by Wei Baoheng, she was just borrowing flowers to present to Buddha!A vague smile appeared on Wei Baoheng's face, Yang Yu felt disgusted, and felt sad for Princess Tongchang, I hope she will never know this ugly fact in her life, otherwise, Yang Yu can't imagine it!

Concubine Guo Shu felt guilty, felt that Yang Yu was looking at her, and felt very uncomfortable, so she just looked at Princess Tongchang and said, "As long as you like it, that's fine!"

Princess Tongchang was delighted from the bottom of her heart. Holding the kitten seemed like holding a peerless treasure, which made the emperor sigh with emotion, "It's still Concubine Shu who knows her daughter's heart well. This white jade statue of mine is not as good as a beast." Can win Tongchang's favor!"

Yang Yu was sour and jealous, Yang Yu couldn't help smiling, and said: "Of course Concubine Shu loves Princess Tongchang very much, she knows what the princess likes best! If there is something good, she will definitely give it to the princess, how could she rob her?" How are you feeling?"

Concubine Guo Shu felt very uncomfortable, Yang Yu was ridiculing her every word, she really had heard enough! "Of course a mother and concubine understands my daughter's heart! Mrs. Chu has never been a mother, so of course she doesn't know how it feels!"

The emperor's face suddenly changed slightly, and he gave Concubine Guo Shu a stern look. Princess Tongchang hurriedly said, "Concubine Mother! What are you doing!" Even if she said such a thing, it also proves that Concubine Guo Shu has a ghost in her heart!
Yang Yu, on the other hand, smiled and didn't take it seriously, and said: "What Concubine Shu said is true, I don't know if Princess Tongchang likes the gift from the palace!" Just as Yang Yu finished speaking, Bi Yue came up, There was a tray in his hand, and the top was also covered with a red cloth. It looked like nothing was there, which was very surprising.

Princess Tongchang couldn't help being a little surprised, and said: "My lady! What is this?" Yang Yu covered her mouth and smiled, but looked at the emperor with sparkling eyes. Seeing that the emperor gave you white jade, let me be a vassal, and what I gave you is also white jade!"

Glancing at Biyue, Biyue understood, lifted the red cloth, and held it in front of Princess Tongchang. Princess Tongchang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mrs. like!"

Everyone was puzzled, because they couldn't see what was on the plate at all, and the emperor was also surprised, "What is it that he likes so much?" Tong Chang walked towards the emperor with a smile. Startled, she smiled again, and said, "Madame Chu is used to cutting corners!"

Concubine Guo Shu was curious, she couldn't help leaning over, and saw that it was a set of embroidery needles polished with white jade!The lengths are different, the thickness is uniform, and it can be seen that they are carefully carved.

Princess Tongchang couldn't help picking up an embroidery needle, and said: "Tongchang has nothing special, only this embroidery skill is the pride of his life, Mrs. Chu sent this embroidery needle, she really knows my heart!"

The emperor smiled and said, "You guys are all human beings. Just such a little thing is better than my white jade statue. How can I be so sorry?" Princess Tongchang couldn't help but threw herself into the emperor's arms and said, "No Yes! It’s my father’s gift and Tong Chang likes it the most!”

Although the emperor knew that Princess Tongchang was coaxing him, he couldn't stop smiling.At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, chattering and buzzing.

The emperor couldn't help frowning. Hearing this voice, it was the voice of the group of picking girls. What are they doing here!
It turned out that this group of picking girls were rehearsing in the Huae Building, but today is Princess Tongchang's birthday banquet, the emperor arranged for them to rest for a day, Li Keji never came, what are they doing here!
Chang Man hurriedly rushed out, but did not stop her. The Cai Nu who was the leader was very imposing, and was very dissatisfied with Chang Man's words. Although they were Cai Nu, they were also concubines. Why couldn't they attend the emperor's imperial banquet?

It turned out that the emperor was laughing and laughing in front of these girls, and he was very conniving with them. In addition, their identities were different. Without the careful teaching of my aunt, I was already under the emperor's favor, so it seemed a little extravagant.

In particular, a woman called Lian'er, who was the leader, was quite fond of the emperor because of her melodious singing voice. They came to the princess's birthday banquet together, wanting to show off and swear their status in the harem.

This large group of people rushed into Hua'e Louli, Princess Tongchang was quite astonished, she didn't know about it yet!He couldn't help shouting: "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Huae Tower!?"

But Lian'er was not in the least disturbed, she just looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty! Our sisters came to rehearse, but did you disturb everyone?"

The emperor was already very embarrassed. He didn't want to treat these picking girls like his concubines, but he didn't give them any status. He was afraid that the ministers would ask about the reason, so he conferred a little picking girl.

Today is Princess Tongchang's birthday banquet, the emperor was very annoyed by their presence, but he couldn't reveal it, he just wanted to get rid of them earlier.

The emperor couldn't help frowning, and said: "I've passed down the decree, there's no need to rehearse today, don't you all know?" There was already a hint of anger in his eyes, and a few timid ones lowered their heads.

Princess Tongchang was still puzzled, and said: "Are they Kabuki?" Unexpectedly, this sentence aroused the indignation of these women, and said: "No! We are the emperor's concubines, we are Cai Nu!"

This momentum of unanimous voice made Princess Tongchang jump, "Cai Nu?" Princess Tongchang looked at the group of women in front of her, it was so dark that there might be hundreds of them!These are the imperial concubines?When did the emperor have so many young concubines!
