On the way Yao Xi came to Kunning Palace, he was full of expectations and walked happily. The empress was also known for her generosity in rewarding her servants in the palace. Her reputation in this regard was far higher than that of Princess Longyi, who had not been in the palace for a long time. The rewarding empress dowager.

It's just that now the father-in-law's house has been confiscated, and Zhu's mountain of gold and silver has been put into the treasury. It's unknown whether the empress will be as generous as before when she loses her mother's house and hands the silver to the palace.Thinking of this, Yao Xi frowned sadly again.

Chun Yang comforted the queen and said: "My lady, don't be afraid, don't you have slaves? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Mr. Yao should have brought festival gifts to our palace. The slaves will go out and have a look."

Zhu's hands were frightened and froze, holding Chunyang's hand tightly.She has nothing to rely on now, Zhu's family has been raided, her son's life is a mystery in the eyes of the world, and the emperor lost Yu Meiren and fell in love with Lan Guiren again.Her father, husband, and son can't count on her, and the only thing she can count on is Chun Yang, who urinates and waits by her side.

"If the Empress Dowager sends people to take this palace, let them in. Don't be stupid, you can't handle this matter. As long as we don't admit it to death." Zhu's voice trembled a little.

Chun Yang smiled wryly and patted the empress's hand, then turned and walked out.Going out to see, the newly favored Eunuch Yao beside the empress dowager was standing in the yard in front of the main hall with his leaders carrying things and waiting.

Seeing someone coming out of the main hall, Yao Xi hurriedly saluted and said, "Slave Yao Xi was ordered by the Empress Dowager to give the Empress Dowager a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival." Every festival in the palace, the masters and masters would give gifts to each other. Actually not so good.For example, the empress gave a gift to a certain little master, and that little master had to add something to the empress to send back.All this came and went, and everything actually went to the master at the top of the food chain.

Yes.That master is my own empress dowager.

However, people like Yao Xi who serve by the master's side wish they could celebrate the holidays every day.Because there is a reward.

"Please trouble Eunuch Yao, it's just that my mother is not refreshed this morning, and it's inconvenient to see people, so put your things here!" Chun Yang smiled and whispered a few words to the maid next to her.After a while, the maid came back with a box.Chun Yang took the box and walked in front of Yao Xi, handed the box to her and said, "These things are rewarded by my mother."

Yao Xi took the heavy box and led the people away from Kunning Palace.

On the palace road, Yao Xi opened the box in front of everyone.There are so many gold and silver treasures in the box that people can't see them. Even if Zhu's family is raided, the empress is still as proud as she was back then!

"This is something that the Empress Dowager rewards everyone. Let's discuss how to share it before we leave!" Yao Xi said to Ping'er, the court lady, "Sister Ping'er will share it." It was her first time to run an errand to send boxing gifts, and she didn't understand many rules, so she asked Ping'er to follow her.

Ping'er smiled: "Everyone can do whatever they want! Hurry up and have to rush to deliver things to the palace of Concubine Xian."

After Yao Xi put down the box, he stepped back.Her rank is the highest among all the people, and it is said that she should be the first to get it.But she was the last one to serve the empress dowager, so it seems that she should be the last one.

Take it last!Whatever is left is up to fate.

Everyone looked at me and I saw that you didn't dare to take it. Ping'er was worried that if she dragged on like this, she would miss her errand, so she picked up some things from the box at the beginning.Then he said to everyone: "We are all from our own family, so don't be polite. It doesn't matter who is more and who is less, everyone is serving by the Queen Mother's side, this is not bad, right? There are people coming and going on the palace road , It’s not good for us to crowd around like this.” Then everyone looked at each other and took things in order of seniority and youngest.

Hearing what Pinger said, Yao Xi suspected that everyone was not serving the same empress dowager.She is very bad at this thing!

Every hand that reaches out to the box will make Yao Xi's heart twitch.Finally, after a long wait, everyone took it except her, who was modest and polite, with nothing left.The crowd dispersed, and Yao Xi nervously looked at the box——

what's the situation!Why is there still half a box left?

Ah~ everyone must have seen her being favored in front of the empress dowager, so they deliberately left it for her.But Yao Xi was suddenly a little embarrassed to take it, obviously she was sincerely giving in, but now the situation seems like she is trying to scheme against everyone.

"Eunuch Yao?" Ping'er signaled Yao Xi to quickly pick up the box. "There are still several masters who haven't gone to the palace! Eunuch takes more now, and it's the same as taking less later." When Pinger spoke, her eyes were fixed on the things in the box. Keep it in mind.This is the order of the empress dowager, asking her to write down how many rewards Yao Xi has won.

Based on her experience of serving the Empress Dowager for several years, Eunuch Yao might not be able to keep these rewards.So all the shyness and entanglement of Eunuch Yao now are futile, and all the joy and joy are also temporary.

"Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful?" Yao Xi joyfully picked up the box.

After delivering things to Empress Xian, Yao Xi led the people to Empress Li in Zhongling Palace.A young eunuch said anxiously: "Eunuch Yao, apart from the noble Lan, the most favored lady in the palace is Concubine Kang. Is it not good if we put Concubine Kang at the end..."

Yao Xi decided to deliver things to Concubine Li first because Zhongling Palace is closer to Concubine Xian.Obviously going from the palace of the concubine Xian to the palace of the concubine Kang, he must pass through the Zhongling Palace.If the Empress Dowager Li was put at the end like this, some stalkers might think that the Empress Dowager looked down on Empress Li, and was secretly tripping Zhong Ling Palace!

"We are running errands for the empress dowager, is it worthwhile to curry favor with someone and be afraid of offending someone?" Yao Xi couldn't help showing a smug expression.Who else in the palace can beat her empress dowager?Not to mention the inside of the palace, you can't find it anywhere in the world!

After delivering the gifts to Empress Empress, Empress Xianfei and Empress Li, Yao Xi had too many rewards in his arms.

Ping'er was also very nervous, Yao Xi had received so many things that she could hardly remember them all.She whispered all the way, for fear of forgetting something.

"I'll help you." A little eunuch stepped forward to take something from Yao Xi's arms.

Yao Xi declined politely, "No need. I can hug you." She is tired and happy now, the more tired the happier.Aunt Xianqian really took good care of her, even though she only asked her to give away five masters, she was the five richest and most generous, and the rewards she received were equivalent to what she would get if she gave away fifty little masters.

After Xu Lian returned to the palace from his godfather Meng Delai's private house, he learned that Concubine Kang had ordered someone to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift to the Queen Mother earlier.He tried hard to persuade and persuaded, and finally persuaded Concubine Kang to wait for the Empress Dowager's ceremony on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and asked the people around the Empress Dowager to take the painting back alone.

What Xu Lian didn't expect was that the person who came to give the gift was Yao Xi.

He thought that after Yao Xi became the empress dowager's male favourite, he wouldn't have to do these rough jobs.It was also the first time he saw Yao Xi, this boy was really good, but he was far inferior to the young man on the playing piano picture.More than charming, not heroic.

Concubine Kang came out early to wait when she heard that the people in the empress dowager's palace had brought something.After receiving the ceremony and thanking him, Concubine Kang stretched out her hand to Xu Lian, who was waiting on the side.

Xu Lian hurriedly nodded and bowed and presented the picture of playing the piano.

"This painting was specially drawn by Mr. Qin Taiwu. I wanted to present it to the Empress Dowager as a gift. Because the painting was sent to the palace early this morning, it was not sent with yesterday's gift. I can only ask Eunuch Yao to bring it back. It's over." Concubine Kang has a calm temperament, but she couldn't stand Xu Lian, so she agreed.

She knew that Xu Lian had good intentions and wanted her to please the queen mother.This painting is also made with great care, not only from the hand of the famous painter Mr. Qin Taiwu, but also the poem written by the Empress Dowager in her early years.Concubine Kang felt ashamed to let Xu Lian spend so much money and effort to prepare such a gift that even money could not buy.

"Concubine Kang has a heart." Yao Xi bowed and took the painting.

***

After sending off Concubine Kang, only Princess Longyi was left.

Princess Longyi has the most things, besides a small box of Dragon Boat Festival gifts, there are also several large boxes of wedding gifts.

Boring, Longyi sniffed the realgar wine in the palace, but resisted drinking it.She promised Lan Guiren that she would not drink anymore, and she did, although it was hard to quit drinking suddenly.In addition to not being able to drink, she has another worry.

She promised to find a chance to send Yao Xi out of the palace.But she couldn't find a chance, Wan Yu and Yao Xi were inseparable.She also couldn't bear it, it was rare for Wan Yu to care so much about anyone after so many years.But like Lan Guiren, she did not dare to entrust the life and death of Yao Xi and the Yao family to Wan Yu's hands. Wan Yu was really fickle.

"Princess, Eunuch Yao is here to help the Empress Dowager deliver a festival gift." The maid was very puzzled by her master's recent behavior.The eldest princess often smells the wine, but she just refuses to drink it.

Long Yi put down his wine and went out of the house to the courtyard.Sure enough, Yao Xi led the people from the Empress Dowager's palace and brought many things over.

"Why are there so many things?" In previous years, Wan Yu gave her only one box for the Dragon Boat Festival, but this year it was too many.

Longyi stepped forward and opened a box casually, the things in the box were too good to be true, picking out one at random was even better than the dowry Wan Yu gave her last time.Longyi looked at Yao Xi suspiciously.

Yao Xi explained with a smile: "That box is a gift from the empress to Her Royal Highness, and these boxes are a wedding gift from my empress to Her Highness the Princess."

"Where did the Queen Mother get so many things?" Longyi continued to be puzzled.Didn't it mean that the things left by the late emperor to Wan Yu were all used to fill the gap in the national treasury for the elder brother?

Yao Xi just wanted to say that Niangniang is very rich, she is not short of these things.Ping'er suddenly stood up and took the lead and said: "Duanwu Empress has received a lot of gifts, so she sent them to the eldest princess."

What?Yao Xi looked at Ping'er in shock.Then I realized in an instant that the empress was too scheming, and she sold things miserably when she gave them away.If she hadn't helped the empress dowager to register things into storage, she might have believed it.

"..." Longyi was indeed moved again. "Go back and thank the Empress Dowager on my behalf! Eunuch Yao came in, I have something to trouble Eunuch."

Yao Xi was very happy when Princess Longyi called her in to talk. She was about to ask how the eldest princess Yao's case was going.

Leaving everyone in the yard, Yao Xi went in alone.

"Yao Xi." Seeing Yao Xi coming in, Longyi said directly, "I'll take you out of the palace today."

Yao Xi was stunned, she didn't expect Princess Longyi to talk about this. "Slaves cannot leave the palace."

"What?" Longyi was confused.

"The slave will disappear when you come to Her Highness the Princess, the empress will definitely be suspicious of Her Highness the Princess." Yao Xi made an excuse.

Seeing that Yao Xi was worried about her, Long Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "Even if the queen mother knows that I sent you out of the palace, she won't do anything to me."

Yao Xi saw that it was useless to make excuses, so he could only say: "This servant is also reluctant to part with the Empress Dowager!"

"You..." Longyi didn't expect the two to be in love, she thought it was Wan Yu's wishful thinking to keep Yao Xi by her side.In fact, she couldn't bear to take Yao Xi away from Wan Yu, so she said to Yao Xi seriously: "When your Yao family is freed from the crime, I will take you back to the Queen Mother. Before that, you go to my mother." How about avoiding the fiefdom? If someone discovers your identity, Master Yao and Mrs. Yao and your sister will be implicated."

"If someone finds out, I won't admit that I belong to Yao Xian." Yao Xi said firmly.She wasn't either. "Or suicide is fine, anyway, it won't implicate the Yao family." Yao Xi didn't care to think about it, she only knew that even if she died, she would never leave the empress dowager.
