Fortune Orb [Qing]

When she said that she wanted to give a gift, Baozhu really didn't fool around, and she didn't need to bother too much, just adding ten thousand taels of silver bills would be enough.Hearing that her natal family had prepared a lot of banknotes for Mrs. Ligui, she felt that it was a bit too careless to do so. After thinking about it, she fished out a handful of Dongzhu from the dowry.

This was given by Er Niang. The orbs prefer gold, silver and jade ornaments, pearls are rarely used, and they have not been touched for some time.

After waiting for Lady Li to enter the palace, she waited another seven or eight days before Baozhu went to Yikun Palace to pay her respects to Er Niang. After saying a few words, she bluntly said that she had something to ask, and wanted to ask Er Niang to invite the nobleman. , She prepared a gift to congratulate the nobleman for the success of his wishes.

The imperial concubine really convinced her son and daughter-in-law, the two had a tacit understanding. During the previous general election, Yinzhen wanted to see a living mentally retarded person come to the palace to beg her;

Okay, isn't it just summoning low-ranking concubines, what's the big deal?

The imperial concubine waved her hand, and the maid who was serving in front of her immediately bowed and retreated. The orb had only used half a serving of iced double-skin milk, when the maid who opened the curtain announced, "Mr. Li has arrived."

Ligui came in and practiced the courtesy honestly. Although she served a man together, the imperial concubine didn't bother to embarrass the mere fifth-rank nobles. She nodded slightly and ordered: "Give the nobleman a seat."

Seeing the young concubine in the lake green flag sitting down, she said: "I didn't have any other intentions in calling you here today. It was the old Jiu Fujin who asked me to prepare a gift for you and wanted to give it to you personally." to your hands."

Even though Baozhu was hidden from the whole family, she still doesn't understand the reason for alienating Yushu, but the relationship fades away. With only a half-smile, he looked at Tiandong who was standing aside, and stretched out his hand to her.

Tiandong took out a palm-sized wishful brocade box, and handed it to Baozhu respectfully, Baozhu took it, and put it in Ligui's hand.

"This is a small box of Dongzhu. The gift is light. Don't dislike it, nobleman."

"You all know that I'm dumb and can't speak, so I'm here to wish you peace and happiness and everything goes well."

This gift is not light!

Not to mention a box, a pair of Dongzhu earrings is enough to envy others.

However!but!Is this something nobles can wear?Now that the throne is vacant, there is nothing wrong with the imperial concubine palming the phoenix seal and wearing the east beads. Other than that, no one is so respectable. The box of orbs awarded to A Yuan was used as marbles for A Yuan and the others. Yinzhen really wanted to get one As for Dongzhu on Baozhu's flag shoes, even if they were adorned, they could only be worn behind closed doors. How dare she give this away?

The eunuchs and maids all lowered their heads, not daring to make any noise. The imperial concubine was drinking tea, and it was hard to tell what expression she had on her face. As for Mrs. Li...she really wanted to accept this gift, but I don't have the guts, I only dare to complain in my heart.

It's strange that Baozhu has no eyesight, and he said it with great fanfare when he gave this kind of thing, can't he give it in private?

To be honest, Baozhu really didn’t want to go there. She personally rarely wears pearls, because she doesn’t use them, so she doesn’t know much about them. Her deepest feeling is that it’s really troublesome for Erniang to award the box of Dongzhu. .

Ah Yuan likes to play with that, he uses Dongzhu as a marble, and when he is happy, the servants will pick it up all over the room, and watch him for fear that he will grab the beads and stuff them in his mouth.

That's why Baozhu didn't realize how precious it was at all. How expensive could it be that the son used it to replace the marbles?

The above all caused the current embarrassing situation, Ligui was full of entanglement, hesitated and pushed the brocade box back to Baozhu: "This is not something that I, a mere fifth-rank noble, can afford, so let's not joke about Jiufu Jin."

Hearing this, Baozhu showed a surprised expression, and the imperial concubine also saw it, and it was because of seeing that she dared to believe that she was really ignorant.

Lao Jiu, Fujin, is so clever when he is clever, but he is also really stupid when he is stupid.

She paused for a while, and then briefly explained the preciousness of Dongzhu. Baozhu was dumbfounded: "So precious, can you give it to me?"

As she said that, her heart twitched. This is the feeling of heartache!

"Er Niang, the box you gave me almost ruined Ah Yuan. The little bastard uses it as a pinball maker, and it can waste a lot every day! I was planning to go to the palace to ask for another box. Dongzhu is big. Not to mention, it's still round, much more fun than small pearls."

The imperial concubine was quite calm at first, but she didn't feel good after hearing this. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and asked Baozhu to put away the small box of Dongzhu. This is what the mother-in-law comes out of.

As she spoke, she ordered the dowry mother to take the key to fetch the Jade Buddha she had received a while ago.Before handing it to Mrs. Ligui, the imperial concubine opened the lid of the box to have a look, and Baozhu also took a look. The Buddha statue was as big as a palm, and it was carved from sapphire. The carving was meticulous, and the whole Buddha statue was round and pleasing.

"That's good, why didn't I think of it?"

The imperial concubine nodded her head with her index finger: "You! What should I say about you?!"

This sapphire Buddha statue is also a good thing, plus it has a good meaning, it stands to reason that Lady Li should be happy, but she was extremely upset.

Cousin Baozhu was so favored that no one would hold her accountable for her reckless mistakes.On the other hand, her seven or eight days in the palace is not a life for a human being. Even if she came from Fucha's family and is the daughter of Ma Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, she didn't take advantage of it. side hall.

Concubine Liang Wei has a gentle temperament, she doesn't easily make enemies with others, and she doesn't oppress and persecute concubines in the same palace. She thought it was a good fate, but after a few days she saw it. Concubine Liang is beautiful, but she is better than Concubine Hui in the palace Concubine Rong, these two middle-aged mistresses, are still embarrassed, but she is very deserted.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong entered the palace early. They were not much younger than the emperor. Going to Liangfei Palace, as if forgetting that there is such a person, look at the imperial concubine, in the past seven or eight days she has been in bed twice, and she is more patient than the young concubines who are new to the palace.

Comparing the two, what future can there be with Concubine Liang?

Thinking that she risked her reputation and broke with her natal family to enter the palace. After so many days, she is still a perfect body... Lady Ligui hates her, but she only dares to bury this thought deeply, not daring to show it. She smiled on her face, she seemed to like the slap-sized sapphire Buddha statue very much, she was very grateful to the imperial concubine, and said that she would offer the Buddha statue when she went back.

A few years ago, she was spotted by Suo Chuo Luo Shi at a glance, and then she was separated from Bao Zhu.

Now, her little thoughts have not been hidden from the eyes of the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine perfunctoryed her a few words, and asked the servants in front of her to send her out. Before she got up, Lady Li glanced at Baozhu several times, but Baozhu didn't seem to notice, so she had no choice but to leave, thinking about the future. Think again.

After she walked out, the imperial concubine sighed to Baozhu: "Your cousin has a lot of thoughts and is a little clever."

The imperial concubine stayed silent for a while——

In the palace, such a configuration is most likely to be short-lived.

Baozhu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Honor is different from me, she has been very determined since she was a child."

The imperial concubine glanced at the brocade box in Baozhu's hand again: "You just inadvertently offended her, I think she is annoyed with you."

Baozhu didn't understand, she looked at Erniang with some surprise, but Erniang didn't explain much.

The reason is actually very simple. Many of the servants who served in the room understood it. Lady Ligui was so thoughtful and never had a good impression of Jiufu Jin. She definitely felt that sending Dongzhu was calculated in advance.Send it out first, then say oh sorry you don't deserve it, then take it back and exchange it for something else, just to lose face.

If it was someone else who gave the gift, they might also have doubts in their hearts. Since it is Jiufu Jin, there is really no need to think so much.

She must be stupid every day, isn't there a saying called "one pregnancy is stupid for three years"?

Everyone is praying for Jiufujin, hoping that she will not be entangled by the restless Ligui. They don't know that Baozhu has thought about it a long time ago. It's not easy.

Baozhu usually goes to two places when entering the palace, one is the residence of the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace, and the other is the residence of Empress Yikun Palace.

These two places are not for nobles to break into, and she has to muster up the courage to intercept people halfway.Where is the palace?It is a place where eunuchs and maids gather, and there are eyeliners of masters everywhere, and others will know when you sneeze, let alone try to find fault.

It is equivalent to saying that it is better for her to enter the palace to be a noble person than to marry the son of a powerful minister.

This is also the reason why Kangxi let her calculate.

Rather than letting her harm her sons, it is most suitable to stay in the palace. A batch of newcomers are recruited into the harem every three years. They are short of everything, and there is never a shortage of women.

From his point of view, if the Fucha family can get rid of this unlucky girl, he just sleeps casually and throws it aside after sleeping.If you can't let go, and you still miss her and hope for her well, that's easy, it's great to mention someone as a concubine, the status of the sixth concubine is considered high in the palace, but it's not enough to challenge Yinzhen Fujin.You said she still wants to have a son?Born is born, and the status of the prince cannot be shaken after birth. After the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be many idle county kings or princes.

After 40 years in power, Kangxi is a little tired. He already feels that he is not young. In addition, he has been exhausted physically and mentally due to frequent disasters in the past two years. Unload the burden ahead of time.

Kangxi didn't say these words to anyone. He thought in his heart that if the weather goes well in the next few years, he can still hold on. If there are many disasters and disasters like the first year, he really doesn't want to sit on the throne. It's better to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. Go to Qingfu, and when you are too busy to panic, do something to test the emperor.

It's a good thing Ligui doesn't know about this, if she knew, she would definitely cry blind.

After she came out of Yikun Palace that day, she wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her cousin Baozhu. She put all her anger and unwillingness in her heart, whitewashed the peace with a smile, thinking that since she entered the palace, of course she needed the support of her natal family. However, things didn't go so well.

First of all, it was getting hot, so Bao Zhu seldom went out of the house, and usually stayed in the room, at most, she would not go to the Feixian Pavilion in the lake to cool off.Coupled with Yinzhen's intentional obstruction, after being summoned by the imperial concubine, Lady Ligui did not see Baozhu for three full months, and the next meeting was still on the way.

On that day, Baozhu and Wu Fujin took their son to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. On the way, they bumped into a graceful Ligui in a pink flag dress. Nodding his head, he went straight to Ningshou Palace without stopping.

At the subsequent Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she did not find a chance to be alone. The Jiufu Jin she was thinking of was either with her sister-in-law or in front of the imperial concubine.

Lady Ligui feels deeply frustrated, even if no one takes the initiative to target her, even if she is not short of money to make connections... Life in the palace is not easy.

She stuffed enough money for the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, gained a lot of convenience, and successfully climbed onto the dragon bed. After serving the bed, she felt unprecedentedly confused.

I used to think that she was the dignified daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War, and her natal family was prominent, so she was afraid that she would not be able to show her head?

Her natal family hated her because she made her own claims, even if she was given silver taels, her natal family didn't plan to take care of her anymore.With such an attitude, who would look up to her?Without a strong enough backstage, no amount of silver would be enough to spend in the harem.

Ligui has already realized this point.

Recently, she wanted to see Baozhu not only to take advantage of Jiufu Jin's influence, but more importantly, she wanted to ask her to pass a message to Er Niang, so that Er Niang could find a chance to hand over a sign to come to the palace to see her.
