Chapter 153 Generous Woman

Shen Guiyan's coral hairpin is even redder than Shen Hanlu's, and smoother, it is not of the same grade at first glance.

You said that you deliberately took things to stimulate people, so you can't be stimulated by others instead?Shen Hanlu immediately went up to close the box in Xiuping's hand with a smile, and said: "Look at my concubine, I have too many things to do recently, I am so busy that I feel dizzy, and I took the wrong thing. How can such a small thing be dedicated to you?" The imperial concubine’s? Anything that the emperor bestows on his concubines is better than this.”

"Oh?" Shen Guiyan was full of anticipation again: "Anything else?"

"Of course." Shen Han raised his chin: "Recently, there are so many things in Luhua Palace that the concubines can't put them down, so it's okay to give some to the empress."

This temper is really on point, anyone who stabs her will jump into the pit.Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Shen sympathetically.

When Gao Jinxiu rushed back, he didn't see any tense atmosphere, instead he saw a room full of boxes and boxes.

What happened?
Shen Han stood proudly on the side with his toes open and said: "This is a gold inlaid jade dragon and phoenix bracelet, this is a jade-filled mutton walker, and this fist-sized night pearl, and this rare agarwood."

Counting the past, my mouth is dry, the house full of treasures, everyone is speechless.Shen Hanlu took a sip of tea in a very airy manner, looked at Shen Guiyan and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

It contained not only the rewards from the emperor, but also the treasures sent by Fu Guifei to curry favor with her, really brought everything that could be brought to the table.

Shen Guiyan admired: "There are so many."

"Hmph, what is this?" Shen Hanlu finally got a word of envy, and her tail was raised: "There are so many in this palace."

Cold sweat dripped down Xiuping's forehead, and she pulled Shen Hanlu several times to talk, but Shen Hanlu ignored her, just wanted to show off her prestige and destroy Shen Guiyan's complacent aura.

It's uncomfortable to see her leisurely and carefree appearance in this corner of her home.If you don't show her the favor she has received, she really thinks she is great.

Sure enough, Shen Guiyan looked envious and amazed, counted all the treasures, turned to look at her and said, "Concubine Shen is indeed different from the past, she is so generous."

"Of course..." Before she finished speaking, Shen Hanlu seemed to realize something suddenly, and her face changed slightly.

Wait, she was provoked by Shen Guiyan just now, and she seemed to have forgotten her original intention.In the beginning, the coral hairpin was given to Shen Guiyan, but as soon as she disliked it, she brought all the treasures in the palace.

Doesn't that mean, give all of these to Shen Guiyan? !

Shen Hanlu's face turned pale, and she immediately regretted it. Before she had time to make amends, Shen Guiyan said: "My sister really moved me. Many people will get carried away after being favored. Only my sister is willing to take all her treasures." Let me distribute it to Ben Gong, alas, although you still have a lot in the palace, you should not care about these, but Ben Gong is still very happy. Treasure fan, give the handkerchief embroidered by Ben Gong as a return gift to Concubine Shen."

The words of regret were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. Shen Hanlu had a tight pain in his chest, and he still smiled generously: "Your Majesty, you are welcome, these are nothing..."

All the gifts and bribes she has received during this period are here, so why are they nothing? !

Shen Guiyan was so moved that she was about to cry, she took Shen Hanlu's hand and said: "I used to blame you all the time, from now on, I will never close the door to you, this Yonghe Palace, my sister can come anytime Please."

In other words, Shen Hanlu used all the treasures in her palace to successfully buy tickets to the Yonghe Palace.

There were only two words in Shen Hanlu's mind: Damn it!

Had she just been under a spell?Why are you so stupid to bring all these treasures?To show off is to show off, and Liugong was also shocked by her big handwriting, while Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu looked at her like idiots.

Don't pretend to be forceful, you will be struck by lightning.

This sentence is indeed true.

"There are too many things, I still need to tidy them up." Shen Guiyan said with a smile, "Is there anything else that Concubine Shen has to do?"

Shen Hanlu took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "No."

"Then let's kneel down first, Ben Gong sorts out my sister's wishes, this room is small, and it's not convenient to be full of boxes."

"... Then the concubine will leave first." Shen Hanlu stood up, her eyes were red, and she gave Xiuping a hard look.

Xiuping is so innocent, she wanted to remind her master so much just now, she acted as if he hadn't seen her, who is to blame?

Arriving with great arrogance, Shen Hanlu was so angry that his eyes turned black, and when he entered the Luhua Palace and saw the empty storeroom, he almost lost his breath.

Gao Jinxiu felt relieved, Xu was right, the imperial concubine will be fine.

However, Gao Jinxiu was very curious, how did she know?

Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu had seen enough of the drama, and left with a smile on their face.Only Mrs. Gao stayed in the Yonghe Palace, looked at Shen Guiyan and said: "This time, then Concubine Shen will hate you to death."

"She hated me a lot in the past, and she doesn't care about more." Shen Guiyan smiled and waved to Gao Shi, called her to her side, and gave her the gold-encrusted jade dragon and phoenix bracelet that Shen Hanlu brought just now : "You take this, later I will let Baoshan secretly distribute some things to your palace."

Gao Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment: "What are you doing, Ma'am?"

Shen Guiyan smiled and said: "You are stupid, when you leave the palace, you can take your own things out. These are considered as the dowry I collected for you, and they can be used as family heirlooms when you take them out of the palace."

Gao Shi pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly red: "You have even thought of these things."

"You are the only old friend in the palace, how can you not think about it?" Shen Guiyan looked at her and said, "There are many gossip around me, it's not good for you to get close, so go back later. When the harem is settled, I will be alone Come again when I can protect you."

"Okay." Gao Shi nodded: "The empress is sincere to my concubine, and my concubine will definitely not disappoint my mother's kindness."

After speaking, he saluted and bowed deeply.

Bao Shan quickly helped her up, and Gao Jinxiu left holding the bracelet.

Shen Guiyan looked at the box on the table in a daze for a while, then heaved a long sigh and said, "Okay, Bao Shan, pack your things."

Had a great harvest today.

"Yes." Baoshan rolled his eyes with a smile, counted the treasures and put them in the warehouse, and calculated the price. This pile of things is worth more than 3 taels of snowflake silver.Some of them are hard to buy treasures.

It's terrible for a woman to lose face and lose her fortune.

In the evening, the emperor came to the Yonghe Palace openly, and asked with a smile in his eyes, "I heard that my concubine got a baby today?"

Shen Guiyan nodded with a smile, except for some things for the Gao family, the rest of the things were listed, including the big piece of colored glaze, which was given to the emperor.

"What will Aifei do for me?" Gu Chaobei looked at it curiously.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out to be a discount of more than 3 snowflake silver.

"It's useless for my concubine to keep these treasures. I want to give them to the emperor to build the Beijing Middle School and porridge shed." Shen Guiyan said seriously: "The emperor and his concubine have seen the suffering of the people's livelihood together, so naturally they understand better that the people are the foundation of the country. .”

Gu Chaobei was startled: "These things are logically yours, Yan'er, are you sure you want to give them all away?"

Shen Guiyan nodded: "The courtiers and concubines don't need so much money, and they don't have the hobby of collecting treasures. Anyway, it's something you can get with a few words, so it's nothing to give to the emperor's people."

3 taels of snowflake silver, converted into today's currency, should be around 3000 million.A woman earns 3000 million yuan with a few words of tongue, and then she has to give it all away to build Hope Primary School and do charity.It sounds crazy.

Gu Chaobei was silent for a long time before he sighed, nodded and said, "Okay."

Anyway, it is someone else's property, and it can be used to earn fame. His Yan'er is really a good plan.

Shen Hanlu was so angry that she didn't go out in the palace for a few days, she finally calmed down and was going to pay her respects, when she opened the door and went out, she heard praise from the palace.

"Concubine Yan Gui is really a bodhisattva, with so much money..."

"Yeah, no wonder the emperor has been doting on her. This heart is more generous than others."

"I heard that the people in the capital praised her, and the stonemason carved the appearance of the imperial concubine and empress, and prepared to put it in the newly built schools."

This is her baby, her money!It's good that Shen Guiyan took them all, just thinking about it would make him vomit two liters of blood!Shen Hanlu's breathing was not smooth again, and the embroidery screen next to her quickly came up to pat her heart and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, tomorrow will be the ancestor worship ceremony, think about it, you will be the queen in the future, what else can't you get back? "

It's right to think about it. When she becomes a queen, what are you afraid of?These things can all come back.

Now it's all I can do to comfort myself.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Hanlu ran to face the saint.

Gu Chaobei smiled gently and said, "I have prepared the clothes for tomorrow's ceremony for you."

On the tray next to it were glittering golden clothes, the base was red, the skirts and sleeves were all golden, and phoenixes were flying on the petticoat, which was very luxurious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Hanlu felt better when she saw the clothes, took it with both hands, and took it back carefully.

After tomorrow, she will be the mother of the world.The queen has the power of life and death, that's the pinnacle of a woman, but she is much more free, she can do whatever she wants!

Without taking the sedan chair, Shen Hanlu carried the clothes through many palaces, the nobles saluted her, Concubine Ye saluted her, and Concubine Fu Gui saluted her.

She held her neck high all the way, and met Concubine Hua right ahead.

Concubine Hua looked at her with a light smile and said, "People who climb too fast are prone to fall."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for reminding me." Shen Hanlu snorted softly, passed her, and continued to move forward.

Concubine Hua looked at the Taiye Lake next to her, with sparkling eyes, she chuckled lightly.

Seeing the Yonghe Palace ahead, Shen Hanlu finally stopped in her tracks and decided to take a detour.Shen Guiyan is too scary, she'd better wait until the clothes are firmly worn before provoking him.

"Concubine Shen."

As soon as he returned to Luhua Palace and sat down, he saw Fu Guipin's close maid He Rong approaching.

"how?"

"Your maidservant is here to pass on my master's letter. My master invites you to meet me at the east bank of Taiye Lake at dusk." He Rong said in a low voice: "It is related to the canonization of your mother tomorrow, and I got the news from Fu Xueshi. If you are willing to go alone and not expose my master, the servants will report back to the master."

Canonization thing?What can be done with the canon?Shen Hanlu looked suspiciously at the court lady in front of her. Concubine Fu had a scholar Fu behind her, so there must be a lot of news to know. This is to please her, so come to inform?

When curiosity arose, Shen Hanlu nodded: "I will go."

With a gentle smile: "Then the servant will retire first and report back to the master."

"Go." Shen Hanlu waved her hand, thought for a while, and asked Xiuping just to be on the safe side: "He Rong belongs to Concubine Fu, right?"

"Why not?" Xiuping said: "Among the palace maids, she is quite high-spirited. She is as virtuous as her master. I heard that she is very trusted by Fu Guibin. She made a mistake before and was forgiven by Fu Guibin. .”

Judging from the tone of voice, I was still a little jealous of He Rong, because that girl looked better than ordinary court ladies.

Shen Hanlu felt relieved, when it was dusk, she changed her clothes by herself, and headed towards Taiye Lake in a mysterious way.

It also happened to be today, Shen Guiyan felt that she had been lying down for a long time and wanted to move around, so she took the maids and eunuchs out for a walk.

"It's better at dusk. Everyone is ready to fight for favor at night, and no one comes out to fight." Baoshan supported Shen Guiyan while walking and said: "Recently, the palace is really noisy."

Shen Guiyan looked at the lake in the distance with a smile: "As long as we don't make trouble on us, that's fine. Of course, if they are all as generous as Concubine Shen, I don't mind making trouble with them."

The court ladies and eunuchs around laughed when this matter was brought up. It is estimated that the matter of Concubine Shen will be laughed at in the palace for several months.

"Wow--" There was a sudden splash of water in Taiye Lake, a huge flower, accompanied by a scream, startled Shen Guiyan: "What happened?"

Baoshan watched a person who looked like a court lady run away in the distance, then looked into the lake and said: "Someone has been pushed into the lake, hurry up and save him!"

A few eunuchs hurried over behind him, and Shen Guiyan also followed slowly.

"It's strange, usually no one comes to Taiye Lake at dusk, today are those two maids playing around..." Before Baoshan finished speaking, he saw Shen Hanlu's face.

"Concubine Shen?!"

Shen Guiyan frowned, and when she took a closer look, she was really Shen Hanlu, dressed plainly, not at all like the daytime style.

"Master." Baoshan said very solemnly: "Let's throw her back into the water!"

Shen Guiyan laughed: "Let her drown, the emperor will trouble me, so get it."

Several eunuchs worked together and finally rescued the man ashore.

Shen Hanlu vomited for a long time, still in shock, looked at Shen Guiyan warily.Seeing that she could still stare at people, Shen Guiyan immediately turned around: "Bao Shan, go back."

"Yes."

The palace people followed suit and prepared to leave, but none of them thought of sending her back.

Shen Hanlu shouted angrily: "Hey, don't you wonder why I was pushed into the water?"
