Chapter 103
Good dreams keep people intoxicated, and the sky suddenly dawned, and Concubine Zhen woke up faintly.
Xiaoyu gently lifted Zhenfei's pile of hair and carefully combed it down with a mahogany comb. The soft hair changed into different shapes in Xiaoyu's hands.
The grand maids in the Compassionate Ning Palace are not only literate, but also have superb skills.
The two maids serving the Empress Dowager Heng Le are named Tingtao and Chuchu.
Almonds know how to observe words and expressions, and are good at summarizing other people's behavior, so as to infer the other party's motives.
Chu Chu is good at embroidery, and her embroidery is more exquisite than the clothes of Shanggong Bureau.
Ah Qing has sharp eyes and ears, and is very vigilant, able to detect danger in advance, thus protecting the personal safety of Concubine Xian.
Xiaoyu is good at combing her hair. She will set different hairstyles according to different face shapes.
As the saying goes: Buddha depends on gold clothes, people depend on clothes, Xiaoyu's combing technique not only enhances Princess Zhen's appearance, but also enhances her temperament.
Dressing, clothing, and posture can best reflect a person's temperament.
It's not like I don't know, but I'm shocked, it turns out that there are many beautiful women hidden in the harem.
Concubine Zhen finished dressing up, cleaned her hands and put on hand cream, put on the newly made armor, and Chu Chu personally came to invite Concubine Zhen to have breakfast.
Gu Yingxia had arrived long ago, and she was carrying a gold wire cage in which was hung a alive and kicking parrot.
When Concubine Zhen passed by the birdcage, the parrot nodded and talked to her.
"My lady is auspicious, auspicious."
"You are also lucky."
The parrot has bright fur and is quite human. As soon as Concubine Zhen left, the parrot opened its cage and flew all over the room.
Gu Yinwei came out to eat, today's breakfast is still millet porridge, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, pickled radish, the only difference is that there is an extra plate of fried eggs.
"Queen, do you still raise chickens?"
"It wasn't mine, it was raised by Wei Junzhai. He ran to the suburbs of Beijing and rented a piece of land, saying he wanted to raise phoenixes. He also sent the eggs."
"Hopefully he gets what he wants."
"I also hope that he will get his wish soon, otherwise I don't know how many eggs will be stuffed into the Compassion Palace."
After breakfast, the three of them went for a walk. Gu Yingxia purposely got angry and didn't talk to Gu Yinwei. Concubine Zhen deliberately eased the embarrassment between the two of them, and suggested: "Where are the eggs sent by Wei Junzhai? I want to go and see." .”
Gu Yingxia pushed open the door of the tea room, and the inside was full of bamboo baskets filled with eggs.
"It's easy to break if left unattended in summer." Concubine Zhen said with emotion.
"Is there a way to deal with it?" Gu Yingxia asked.
"Actually, I have a bad idea."
"Bad ideas are better than lean eggs."
Gu Yinwei went back to the study to read, while Concubine Zhen and Concubine Xian murmured about their plan to deceive others.
Tong Tao was worried, "Master, the two concubines are thinking about sending eggs to the various palaces. Look, do you want to stop them?"
"Let them go, idle is idle, just let the two of them check the expenses of each palace and see if the concubines of each palace are implementing the emperor's strategy of increasing income and reducing expenditure."
"Yes, master."
After hearing the words, Feng Tao withdrew and went to the side hall to spread the word.
Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhen agreed, "Got it, got it, I will investigate."
The two set off in a mighty way, Xiao Yu was holding a gong in his hand, Ah Qing was holding a wooden stick, followed by twelve eunuchs carrying baskets, the baskets were covered with red cloth, and the eunuchs were also dressed as shopkeepers. He wears a red scarf on his head and a red silk around his waist.
As soon as they left, they beat the gong. The team stopped in front of the Hall of Good Night. Ah Qing rang the gong, and Ah Gui came out to open the door in person, and then helped Concubine Xi to watch the fun.
"Concubine Xi, the two concubines are here, and they seem to be here to give us presents."
"Go, hurry up and meet."
Concubine Xi crossed the threshold and bowed earnestly, Concubine Xian said: "Concubine Xi has had a lot of hard work in conceiving a dragon fetus. Today, my palace specially came to give a gift to Concubine Xi."
Concubine Zhen clapped her hands, the maid behind her held out a turntable with a bamboo stick on it, Concubine Zhen signaled Concubine Xi to turn the stick.
Concubine Xi turned the turntable symbolically, and the turntable stopped at the space where the golden egg was written. Concubine Zhen called out: "Concubine Xi got a golden egg."
Ah Qing held a glittering golden egg, Ah Gui couldn't help but grow his mouth, happiness came so suddenly, as soon as he opened the door, he met two concubines presenting the golden egg.
Concubine Xian explained: "Concubine Xi has a total of three chances to turn the dial, and there are two left."
Concubine Xi dialed twice more, but this time she did not get the golden egg but got two baskets of eggs.
Concubine Xian said loudly: "Ah Qing, pick four baskets of eggs for Concubine Xi to send to the Palace of Good Night."
"I'm sorry, Auntie Ahqing, Xiaoyu quickly send someone to guide Auntie." Concubine Xi said a few polite words.
Ah Qing took the opportunity of delivering eggs to look at the layout of the Hall of Good Night. The windows of the main hall were covered with Qianyun gauze paper, a charcoal fire was lit in the tea room, and a little maid guarded the door.
The other palace maids basically had no work to do, and they all followed Concubine Xi to protect her.
Bian Tao came out and nodded, Gu Yingxia nodded, and went to the next palace.
Sun Shurong was busy embroidering pajamas for the emperor, and the maid told her that the two concubines were giving gifts to the palace, but Sun Shurong was not interested.
"Gifts, our status is low, what good gifts can we receive?"
"Today, whether the two concubines give gifts depends on their own luck. I heard that Xu Cairen received two golden eggs."
As soon as the maid's words fell, Sun Shurong suddenly became interested. It is not uncommon to give eggs, but it is too unusual to give golden eggs.
"Go, go out and have a look."
Sun Shurong put down her needlework and went out to watch with her skirt.
Concubine Xian ordered someone to ring the gong, and the maid next to Concubine Zhen stepped forward holding a turntable. Sun Shurong moved the bamboo stick on the turntable according to Concubine Xian's prompt, and the bamboo stick stopped in the blank space. Concubine Xian Said: "Sun Shurong sent four baskets of eggs."
Sun Shurong was not convinced in her heart, but she never forgot to thank her.
"Thank you two concubines for the reward."
It really is a lie, how could it be possible to give me a golden egg, absolutely impossible.
Sun Shurong turned around and left, Concubine Xian called her to stop, "Sun Shurong, you still have two more chances."
I don't know if I will give up this opportunity. I don't know how many days it will take to eat four baskets of eggs. She has already foreseen the recipes for the next month, steamed eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, sweet and sour eggs, and egg pancakes.
Sun Shurong's thoughts were confused, and she flicked the bamboo stick randomly, and the bamboo stick stayed on the grid marked with red dots. Sun Shurong thought that something was wrong, there must be four more baskets of red-shell eggs.
My God, there are too many eggs, when will I be able to finish them.
Concubine Xian rang the gong, and Sun Shurong seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy.
"Congratulations to Sun Shurong for getting a golden egg."
What, golden egg, she heard it right, it turns out that you can get the golden egg by turning to the grid with red dots.
"Concubine Xian, I want to turn around again."
"Okay, you can turn."
Sun Shurong flicked the bamboo stick vigorously, but the bamboo stick stayed in the blank space again.
Sure enough, people can't be too greedy, she should accept it as soon as she sees it.
Baskets and baskets of eggs were carried into Sun Shurong's bedroom. Sun Shurong wanted to cry but had no tears, hating herself for being so cheap.
Sun Shurong lifted the red cloth on the bamboo basket, and the eggs in the basket were neatly arranged, out of sight and out of mind, Sun Shurong covered the red cloth.
"Take it to the warehouse, it's full of eggs, you'll have to eat it until the year of the monkey."
