Splendid Book

Chapter 125

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. Tell me, I'm kind enough to find someone for her, and it's fine if she doesn't want it. But this turned around and not only complained to the prince, but also spread the word to the whole capital," Mrs. Qiao As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief and wiped away the invisible tears from the corners of his eyes.

Concubine De sat next to her on the Arhat bed, leaning lazily on the big red flower pillow, wearing a half-worn scarlet palace dress, looking very homely.That's why De Fei stayed so comfortably when Mrs. Qiao came.

It's just that as the old lady Qiao became more and more serious, her brows became more and more wrinkled.Standing behind Mrs. Qiao, the servant girl wearing a light pink long trousers hurried forward to comfort her, "Don't get angry, old lady, or your empress will be worried again."

Concubine De looked up at her, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and pear dimples on both sides of her cheeks, she was really a sweet girl.However, she has an exquisite figure, especially the two heavy lumps on her chest, which are really alluring to look at.

She looked at it for a while, but she didn't speak, and only smiled at the corner of her mouth.On the other hand, Mrs. Qiao felt complacent when she saw that her expression was normal.How could her daughter not feel sorry for her?

So she cried while touching her tears: "It's not that I complained in front of my mother, but I really feel sorry for our prince. Look outside, don't talk about other palaces, even ordinary people. The servant girl is waiting on you. For a noble person like our lord, only the concubine is by his side. My grandmother really can't stand it, so I took care of it for a while..."

The result is that after taking care of it for a while, I ran into such a big nail.Mrs. Qiao's original seven-point falsehood has now become seven-point true. As she talked, she really felt that her good intentions had been let down.

Concubine De had no choice but to say: "Mother, don't be too sad, I will talk about him on Lao Qi's side. As for this maid, Mother should discuss it with me next time."

At this time, in the huge palace, only Concubine De's soft voice was heard, but for some reason, the woman in pink standing next to the old lady felt a chill in her heart and couldn't help but lower her head.

"Naturally, I should have asked my mother first, but there just happened to be two well-trained girls here, so I made a decision on my own," the old lady Qiao said without embarrassment.

Concubine De looked up at the servant girl behind her again, and asked unhurriedly: "Is that the girl behind her?"

Hearing that Defei Empress finally asked her, the woman in light pink clothes was agitated, she took a step to the side, knelt down, and said: "Your maidservant has seen your empress."

"He's clever," Concubine De praised nonchalantly, she really had a wink.

It's just that this kind of beauty, if you are in front of an ordinary man, maybe you can really catch your eyes.But old seven...

It's not that Concubine De intends to attack, it's just that this woman's appearance, I'm afraid she can't even catch up with Shen Changle's clothes, so how can Lao Qi look up to her.Besides, she could tell that Ji Yu treated Shen Changle very enthusiastically.This child has accepted death since he was a child, but whatever he likes, even if it is ruined, he will still like it.

Concubine De knew what her mother meant by bringing this servant girl here, and she wanted to use her hand to give her a hard lesson.She secretly laughed in her heart, but she felt that her mother was losing her temper.

So she waved her hand and asked the maid to take her down, leaving old lady Qiao behind.

"Mother, this servant girl's beauty is nothing more than just a thing, so there's no need for you to make a big effort to send it to Lao Qi," Concubine De smiled lightly.

Although the old lady Qiao didn't dare to express her displeasure obviously, she was still unhappy in her heart.After all, Shen Changle gave her a big shame, if Concubine De didn't stand up for her, to be honest, the old lady Qiao would really have nothing to do with Shen Changle.

So no matter what, she still had to ask Concubine De to come forward to her.

"Everything my old lady says is distasteful now. Never before did the prince treat our Yongshun uncle's mansion like this. It was just a few days ago that your eldest brother went to find the prince, begged for a long time in a low voice, and even made a big shame. Tell me, this..." When the old lady Qiao was talking, she glanced at Concubine De.

Concubine De was slightly taken aback, she didn't know that her elder brother had already looked for Lao Qi.

"What did Lao Qi say to Big Brother?" Concubine De couldn't help but straighten up at this time, the laziness on her face was swept away, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, it was obvious that Mrs. Qiao had finally aroused her emotions.

The old lady Qiao had originally entered the palace to file a complaint, but seeing Concubine De's solemn expression, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That's right, it's said that we forget our mother when we have a wife. Our lord was such a filial child in the past. , Now I don’t even recognize my own natal family. As an old lady, I have no face, so I have no face, but my lady, where do you put your face. "

After Mrs. Qiao finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "I think the lord is with that little bastard all day long. Could it be because of this little bastard that the lord is like us?" It's born."

Although the old lady Qiao didn't like Shen Changle, compared to Qiao Mingchen, she hated him very much.Not to mention his mother, he was loved by the old man back then in the back house, and the daughter born to that bitch, but only entered the palace once, and fell into the eyes of the emperor.If it weren't for her daughter's blessing from heaven, I'm afraid that this concubine would be taken over by that bitch woman.

Concubine De sneered in her heart, she was filial, Ji Yu had always treated Uncle Yongshun's mansion indifferently, and he had never cared about the face of the Qiao family.On the contrary, he had always thought that he was with Qiao Mingchen before, and she had always thought that Ji Yu just fell in love with Qiao Mingchen as a general who held the military power in his hands, and that's why he made friends with him.

But now Concubine De suddenly discovered that the relationship between Ji Yu and Qiao Mingchen seemed to be too close.Is there something between the two of them that she doesn't know about?

Concubine De was lost in thought as she thought about it, until the old lady Qiao yelled twice before she came back to her senses.

"Mother, you can bring him back. I will choose another person to send over to Prince Zhao's Mansion. Now that the elder brother has given in in the past, don't meddle with you. I will be the villain," Concubine De He chuckled, with a mocking look on his face.

The old lady Qiao was overjoyed at first, but then hesitated a little, and still couldn't help but said: "But you see that Sui'er is so good-looking, and she has a kind heart, and she came to the mansion to serve the prince, isn't it..."

"A maid like her is just an ordinary girl. You have met Princess Zhao before. Do you think this maid can be as good as Princess Zhao?" Concubine De could vaguely guess that this maid and the old lady's natal family There is some relationship, so the old lady brought her into the palace.

I guess I didn't give it away last time, so I didn't give up, but this time I wanted to go her way again.It's just that Concubine De didn't like Old Madam Qiao's natal family all along. She knew that the family had nothing to offer, so she would go to the mansion every now and then, making the house restless.My sister-in-law entered the palace a few times before, although she didn't say it clearly, she always meant something inside and outside the words.

The old lady Qiao was blocked by Concubine De's words, and she immediately became embarrassing.

In the end, when she went back, she had no choice but to bring her back, even if Concubine De had a fancy to her, she might not expect to be spotted by the prince.

As soon as autumn comes, the days pass by like running water.After the maids dried and put away the spring and autumn clothes, she realized that winter was coming so soon.She has always been afraid of the cold, so this winter, she doesn't like to go out.

When I was in the Shen Mansion before, I had to greet my grandmother.Now in Prince Zhao's Mansion, she only needs to meet the steward's daughter-in-law every day in her own yard and take care of the family affairs.

It's cold in winter, but Ji Yu's time to go to court is still that hour, every day it's dark outside, so he gets up lightly.At the beginning, Shen Changle could barely get up and wait for him to dress and wash.But it was really cold in the back, Ji Yu watched her either yawn or squint her eyes every time she buttoned herself.

So after a few days, Ji Yu didn't let her get up.

When Shen Changle came back to her senses, she heard Chunliu muttering softly, that she hadn't left the yard for half a month.Unexpectedly, when Ji Yu heard this, his face turned cold on the spot.Although he also knew that women can't keep fit, but she doesn't even want to walk, which is really impossible.

So I planned to lead Shen Changle to the street when he was resting and taking a bath.

When Shen Changle was at home, he rarely had the chance to go out.After getting married, she felt freer than before, but the concubine had a lot of ostentation, and she had to bring five or six maids with her when she went out. She was really impatient.So go out as little as possible.

"The Chinese New Year will be over in a month or so. I'll take you to the jewelry store to have a look. There are two sets of jewelry and I keep the Chinese New Year belt." Ji Yu stretched out her hand and pinched her earlobe. It was white, tender and plump. Blessed face.

After saying this, even Ji Yu himself couldn't help chuckling, never had he cared about such trivial matters before.Now, in order to coax his daughter-in-law, he is concerned about every little thing.

When Shen Changle heard that he was going with her, she was naturally happy in every possible way, immediately hugged him, and said happily: "Then I have to choose carefully, I'm afraid the prince's purse will bleed."

Ji Yu looked down at her, flicked her index finger lightly on her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "If you think it works, then try it out."

Seeing his disdain, Chang Le secretly made up his mind to buy whatever was expensive anyway.

As soon as Ji Yu said to go out, Shen Changle thought of the few shops she married as a dowry, on Zhuque Avenue, all of which were high-quality shops.She had only read the account book before, and the profit was not bad. She was afraid that the shopkeeper below would deceive her, so she specially asked the accountant of the palace to read the account book for her.

After the accountant read it, he told her that there was no major problem on the account, so don't worry.

But after all, it was her own shop, she had never visited it.In the past, she was the one who was married to several heads of the Zhuangzi, and she visited her in the palace, and she had seen them all, and they were still honest people.Besides, she is now backed by Prince Zhao's Mansion, and she is also a majestic princess. As long as the boss here is not desperate, no one would dare not to take care of her.

But she also knew how to add a sweet date to a big stick, so she promised early in the morning.If this year's harvest is good, not only will the tenants be given rent reductions in the coming year, but each family will also receive a big reward during the Chinese New Year.

It just so happened that a few days ago, several village heads had sold this year's harvest, which was [-]% higher than last year's.The Zhuangzi she married as a dowry have all been Zhuangzi for many years, so the annual harvest basically does not change much.But this year, the harvest can increase by [-]%, which is really good.

When I was in the mansion before, I didn't feel like going out.After getting into the carriage, hearing the noise outside getting louder and louder, they actually cheered a little.

They went out early in the morning, and Ji Yu led her to a famous breakfast shop in the capital. The small steamed buns and shredded chicken wontons here are really unique in the capital.Ji Yu was also taken there by Qiao Mingchen for a meal. When Qiao Mingchen didn't go to the border, he knew the delicious and interesting places in the capital by heart.

This shop was originally just a shop below, and later many dignitaries would come to try something new.So the boss simply turned the second floor into a private room, so whenever there are distinguished guests coming, they will be served in the private room.

Shen Changle was worried at first whether they would attract others' attention if they were eating in the shop.After entering the private room, I no longer have any worries.

Chunliu gave Xiaoer the bowls and chopsticks brought out from the palace, and the shop waiter went down carrying the bowls and chopsticks very skillfully without asking a word.Shen Changle was even more surprised when he saw it, and immediately asked: "This shop is amazing, this little girl saw that we brought our own bowls and chopsticks, but he didn't ask a single word."

"That's natural. There are many dignitaries who come here to eat, so they are familiar with some taboos." Ji Yu explained indifferently.

After the steaming steamed steamed buns were on the table, Shen Changle stretched out her chopsticks to pick up one, and took a bite, the aroma immediately overflowed, but she took a breath and said vaguely: "Okay It's hot, it's hot."

Ji Yu glared at her, how old is she, to be scalded even after eating.

He quickly poured her a glass of warm water and let her take a sip.

After she ate the whole one, she couldn't help but rolled her tongue and sighed: "This Xiaolongbao is really delicious."

"Then why do you think it can be called the best in the capital?" Ji Yu looked at her greedy and cute appearance, and the warmth flowed through her heart like heat.

But when the shredded chicken wontons came up, Chang Le realized that her praise just now was really too early.The broth of this shredded chicken wonton was clear, with finely chopped green onion and shredded chicken sprinkled on top. She took a sip of the soup with a white porcelain spoon.When eating wontons, take the first bite, the skin is thin but chewy, bite down, it really lingers on the lips and teeth.

"It's really delicious." Wangfu's shredded chicken wontons are also pretty good, but compared to this one, she always feels that something is missing.

Probably this is the reason why people became the secret.

After breakfast, Ji Yu asked her where she wanted to go first.

"Then go to some of my shops," she suggested.

Ji Yu knew that she wanted to come and see the shop in person today, but she didn't expect that she would choose such a morning, so she said with a smile: "It's still early, and many shops haven't opened yet. Even if you go, there won't be any customers."

"I just want to take a look at the situation in the shop when there are no customers, to see if the shopkeeper is taking good care of it," Shen Changle said solemnly, but she actually wanted to see the preparations in the shop after the shop opened in the morning.

Ji Yu went out with her today, so what she said was naturally what she said.

After all, the shop they were going to sell pens, inks, papers and inkstones was not far from here.So just after getting into the carriage for a while, it stopped.Ji Yu got out of the carriage first, stood below and reached out to help her.

At this moment, Xiao Er at the door has already greeted him. Xiao Er glanced at the carriage, but there was no sign of the identity of the owner of the carriage.But just looking at the man standing by the car, he is tall and tall, and his whole body exudes an indescribable aura.The waiter is also an old man in the shop. They are a shop selling pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and they usually receive scholars.So he also developed a pair of tricky eyes, which is really noble.

When he was thinking this way, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a shoe with pink and white pearls on the toe was first exposed.The next moment, the soft and boneless slender palm that was supporting the car curtain rose slightly, and a silver-white figure came out.When he looked up, he almost caught the waiter's eyes.

I saw that the woman was wearing a brocade cloak with emerald patterns on a silver and white background, with a circle of pure white fur around her neck, which set off her fair cheeks even more to deceive Saixue.She was not dressed up, her black and smooth long hair was tied into a ponytail, and a bright emerald green lotus flower was inserted obliquely on her head.The originally light attire was also a little bit more colorful because of this bright and colorful Bu Yao.

It is said that a beauty has a seven-point appearance and is very well-dressed.But the woman in front of him, he just thinks that she is very good-looking, beautiful, really beautiful.

He was in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly went up to greet him and said, "You two distinguished guests, what do you want to buy? Our shop has the most complete supply of goods in the whole capital. If you can't buy it at our house, you can buy it at another shop." Certainly not."

Ji Yu chuckled, and Shen Changle quickly gave him a look, although exaggeration was an exaggeration.But she really likes it, and she looks very clever.

When the waiter in the store ushered the person in, the shopkeeper, who was settling accounts at the counter, was surprised when he looked up.If I saw only one of these two people this day, I would feel surprised, but these two people with such outstanding looks appeared together, and from the moment they entered the door, I felt that the shop was brightened instantly.

The shopkeeper naturally had eyesight, and immediately understood that these two must be big customers.

So he hurried forward and asked if there was anything to buy.Shen Changle glanced at Ji Yu, Ji Yu knew that she had made up her mind, immediately coughed lightly, and said: "Take out the most expensive one in your shop."

After finishing speaking, he felt a little helpless, thinking that he had always boasted of his outstanding taste, so he never bought things like today, not picking the good ones, only looking at the expensive ones.

He looks like a nouveau riche.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, but this expensive one... He hesitated for a while before asking: "What do you two want? The store buys pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Tell me about what you want to buy. I can pick it for you."

Ji Yu said something, but he really didn't want to speak.

On the contrary, Shen Changle said with a smile: "Let's take out your town store's treasure and have a look."

Before the shopkeeper turned around, he glanced outside, the sun didn't come out from the west this time.Why did these two distinguished guests who looked like immortals come so early in the morning, and they still chose expensive things.

When the shopkeeper came back with his things, he took a special look at the carriage outside from the door, but there was no usual identity mark on the carriage.

It's just that when he approached, seeing the two distinguished guests in front of him, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

So after he put down his things, he said respectfully: "This is the treasure of our shop, please open your eyes."
