royal princess

Chapter 94 The Second Money Talent 1
Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed the clothes of the two of them and came in, and handed Si Jin's clothes to her.Si Jin got up from the quilt, half-sitting, took the clothes and put them on with her back to Xiao Qi.She just felt that there were two scorching gazes behind her that seemed to be able to open her back.

Si Jin put on her clothes as quickly as possible, her body was sore, astringent and painful, she turned around to help Xiao Qi change, and saw that his hands and feet were more dexterous than hers, and she had passed it on.As soon as Xiao Qi turned around, he saw Si Jin's embarrassing expression, and the old god said, "My skill in dressing is really practiced in Yihexuan."

Si Jin could boil water on her face.

Across a bright yellow curtain, Guan Chang'an outside had already prepared hot water for the two of them to wash.Xiao Qi and Si Jin washed and dressed separately, and breakfast was set in the cubicle when they finished their work.

Xiao Qi was going to court early, and Si Jin was going back to Yihexuan to prepare for the banquet, and Si Jin didn't know how to properly face Xiao Qi at this moment, so she just bowed her head and concentrated on eating.

Si Jin was so silent, Xiao Qi just smiled, only when she thought about what happened last night, she was a little shy for a while, and couldn't hold back her face, so she didn't laugh with herself as usual.Lest she become angry from embarrassment, he didn't continue to tease her now.

After breakfast, the two of them rinsed their mouths, and Si Jin changed Xiao Qi's royal robe, tidying everything up and down, and then bowed his knees, "The concubine also resigned."

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, shook her hand, leaned into her ear and said, "Zhen, I won't wrong you."

Si Jin was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head, Xiao Qi had already strode out.

Not wronged?How can it be called not wronged?

Soon Si Jin knew what Xiao Qi meant. Not long after she returned to Yihexuan, she received the decree. Xiao Qi was promoted to her position, promoted to another level, and became Wanyi.

It is customary to be promoted in the harem, but when Xiao Qi sat on the throne, there were only three or two concubines who were promoted after being favored.One is the current imperial concubine, the other is Jin Jieyu who has "died of illness", and the other is Concubine Qu, and now there is another Si Jin.

As soon as this decree came out, the harem immediately boiled.The fact that Si Jin served the bed was also known to everyone, who would have thought that at this time the emperor would favor Concubine Xi... Xi Wanyi?

The queen was obviously taken aback when she heard the news, but soon laughed. In her opinion, there is nothing better than this face-slapping concubine.As soon as he was in a good mood, the queen's rewards entered the Yihexuan like flowing water.Aunt Tong brought people to present a reward to congratulate Xi Wanyi on her promotion.Just arrived at the corner of Yihexuan, and saw the back of Guan Changan leading a few young eunuchs away from afar.

The emperor also rewarded Xi Wanyi, seeing that this posture must be very rich.Aunt Tong quickened her pace and entered the Yihexuan, and sure enough the things Guan Changan sent were still in the Yihexuan, she smiled and went forward to salute and congratulate Xi Wanyi.

"You don't need to be polite, Aunt Tong, please get up quickly." Si Jin helped Aunt Tong up herself, knowing what she was here for, she felt a little shy at first.

"My servant congratulates Master Wanyi. This is a very happy event. When the empress heard the news, she sent the servant over immediately." Aunt Tong asked someone to bring up the queen's reward, and then said: "This is specially given by the empress. Master thought that he would have to wait a few more months for the statue of Guanyin to deliver his son, but unexpectedly, the emperor is in a hurry, so he asked the servants to bring it here today."

Si Jin's eyes fell on the statue of Avalokitesvara, and she felt a "thump" in her heart for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Aunt Tong with just the right amount of astonishment, and then a look of excitement and gratitude, "My concubine thanked the empress for her kindness. There is nothing to repay, and the heart is terrified."

The queen is looking forward to her pregnancy, is it because she wants to treat herself as the second richest person?
Aunt Tong looked at Xi Wanyi with a smile, with a kind and friendly smile on her face, but she was a little more guarded against her in her heart.If it is said that Xi Wanyi is favored at this moment, she really has no calculations, and she is the first to not believe it.But the empress is willing to hold her in the ring with the noble concubine, so she naturally has to do what the empress says.

Si Jin's heart was like a turbulent sea, but she had to put on a timid and shy appearance like a little daughter's family, she pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Aunt Tong and said: "This concubine will definitely live up to your mother's expectations, and will definitely serve the emperor well. , to share the worries for the empress."

The two chatted very happily, Si Jin personally sent Aunt Tong out of the house, and when she came back, she saw that the queen's reward was indeed very generous.Exquisite means, luxurious jewelry, and the statue of Avalokitesvara.

"Master, do you want to confess this Guanyin?" Yun Shang asked softly from the side.

Si Jin paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "The empress sent it, so of course I have to confess."

Hearing the coldness in his master's words, Yun Chang didn't dare to say any more, and took Hua Rong and the others to collect the things and register them in the register.It's just that where to put the Guanyin statue is a problem. In the end, it was put in the small room behind. It would not be noticeable to set up a small Buddhist room here, and the queen can have an explanation.

The empress sent congratulatory gifts at the beginning, followed by the concubine's rewards. Concubine Dong Xian, Concubine Mei, Concubine Qu, Li Zhaoyi and others also delivered them one after another. The Summer Palace was really lively like flowing water.Obviously today is Princess Yuzhen's full moon banquet, but the excitement of Yihexuan is no less, it is considered a scene in this harem.

After being busy for a long time, Si Jin's face was almost frozen with laughter.She doesn't need to come forward to receive the concubine's concubine's concubine, but she always has to deal with someone who is more respectable than her.Coupled with the hard work of last night, when Si Jin could take a breather and rest, Si Jin was almost exhausted even in dressing up for the banquet.

Huarong took the jade comb to comb the master's hair, while Yunshang was preparing the clothes, taking them out one by one to make gestures, taking them back, taking them out again, and repeating this many times.Finally, she came over with a purple two-color gold hundred butterfly dress wearing flowers and wide sleeves, "Master, what do you think of this one?"

Si Jin glanced at it, nodded with a smile, "It's just right." It was neither too over the top nor overwhelming, Yun Chang's eyes were always trustworthy to her. "Just this one, with a colored cloak on the outside."

Yun Chang smiled and agreed, turned around and went to look for it in the cage.

The jet-black hair is tied into a single snail bun, and the skill of combing her hair is really getting better and better.Si Jin took out a white jade hairpin with cloud patterns and begonias from her dowry, and inserted it into her hair. The whole jade hairpin was flawless and full of jasper, and it was given to her by Xiao Qi, making her look more and more beautiful.

Wearing the same white jade earrings, Si Jin put another white jade bracelet on her wrist, got up and asked Yun Shang to change her clothes.

"Master, isn't it too plain to only wear a white jade hairpin?" Yun Chang said while changing her clothes.

Huarong looked at Yunshang with a smile, "Sister Yunshang, I think this is just right, the master has jet-black hair, it would be cumbersome to wear anything else."

Yun Shang looked up again and saw that it was indeed the case, so she burst into laughter and said: "The servant only wants to make the master beautiful, but forgets that too much is too late."

"If our master doesn't wear these, he will be unparalleled in beauty."

Listening to the chattering conversation between the two girls, Si Jin also smiled and said, "We're not going to compare beauty, after all, it's Princess Yuzhen's full moon banquet, so we'd better put it away, and go to it if you go." Desserts are."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two agreed in unison, and Yun Chang looked up and down again, and there was indeed nothing wrong, and then said: "Today is a good day for the imperial concubine, if you steal her limelight, you will not have a good life , or the master is right."

"But after giving birth to a princess, the master's good life will come later." Huarong Meifeng said with a pick.

"You are a big talker, you are used to talking." Yun Shang gave her a gesture.

Huarong is now a bit respectable in front of the master, and at this time, the guards are less scruples when talking, so they directly said: "The imperial concubine is four or five years older than our master. She doesn't show it now. After a while Two years can compare to that."

"That's true. The imperial concubine gave birth to a child again. Those who have given birth are different from those who have not."

Listening to the chatter of these two people, but they were actually turning a corner to reassure her, Si Jin accepted their kindness and said, "Don't talk nonsense outside, my little life, take it easy. "

The two quickly agreed, knowing that it was the master who suggested them for their own good, the smiles on their faces couldn't be wiped off.

After tidying up, Si Jin took the two of them out with Chen De'an, leaving Jin Zhi Yuxiu and Shun Quan as gatekeepers.

After all, Princess Yuzhen is Xiao Qi's first child. Even if she is a daughter, Xiao Qi opened Enke for her amnesty. This status is different in the eyes of everyone.Even the empress put extra care in organizing this full moon banquet, and the wives from inside and outside came to the palace to congratulate them.Si Jin and other concubines should arrive at Fenghuan Palace earlier, so as not to slow down their lives and make their wives lose their manners later.

The imperial concubine begged the emperor to hold the full moon banquet in Changle Palace, but for some reason, the emperor decided to hold the banquet in Fenghuan Palace.So at this time, Fenghuan Palace is really very lively, the footsteps of the palace people coming and going are all with brisk notes, the emperor still values ​​the empress empress.

As soon as Si Jin stepped into the main hall of Fenghuan Palace, the originally lively hall became quiet in an instant.Si Jin didn't slow down, and first saluted the empress sitting on the main seat, "My concubine pays her respects to the empress."

"Get up quickly." The queen looked at Si Jin with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at a very satisfied piece of clothing and jewelry, "Today is also a good day for sister Wanyi, I will hold another banquet for you at the Japanese Palace Celebration is."

Everyone knew what the empress meant, and all of a sudden more eyes fell on Si Jin.Looking at Si Jin's shy yet timid youthful and gorgeous face, everyone has their own feelings in their hearts.Xu was a little surprised to be scrutinized by this appearance, it seems that as Xi Wanyi got older, the one or two points between the brows that looked like a noble concubine gradually disappeared.
