After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 173

After a few days, the queen mother's reward came.

A young eunuch from the empress dowager's palace came and said that central Sichuan had just paid a tribute to a batch of high-quality silk, because the empress dowager was worried that they would not like the designs and colors she ordered, so she specially allowed Jiang Yu and others to go to the needlework bureau to choose by themselves.

As soon as the little eunuch left, Lan Xin urged Jiang Yu to go to the acupuncture bureau.

"Empress, if we go late, maybe all the beautiful tricks will be picked up by the imperial concubine and the others."

Jiang Yu knew that she wanted to take the opportunity of going to the sewing bureau with her to meet Hong He, so she agreed with a smile.

Since Honghe was promoted to a higher rank, he is now a eunuch in charge.

When Jiang Yu and Lan Xin went to look for him, he was talking to some young eunuchs, seeing Jiang Yu and Lan Xin waiting at the door, he hurriedly ended the conversation, sent them away, and greeted Jiang Yu. come over.

"My lady, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's almost the queen mother's birthday, and you should be busy." Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"Are you here to choose the silk and satin material? Yesterday the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to tell you about the rewards from you, Yang Guiren, and the imperial concubine."

"Honghe, have other empresses picked you?" Lan Xin interrupted and asked.

"not yet."

"Even if they have been here before, next time you remember to leave the best for our mother."

Hong He grinned and scratched his head: "That's natural."

Jiang Yu originally wanted to say that there was no need to be like this, but after thinking about it, although this was talking about herself, it was a conversation between Hong He and Lan Xin, so let them go.

Hong He led them into a small warehouse.

"All the top-quality materials for tribute in the middle of Shu are here! The servant has already discharged all the cloth. The servant has seen that they are all excellent materials. Unfortunately, there is only one piece of each pattern. If someone picks it away, the later ones There will be no more people."

As Hong He spoke, he lifted off a piece of cotton cloth that was covering it, and beneath it were neatly arranged strands of brilliant silk and satin.

Even Jiang Yu felt her eyes brighten.

She hadn't gone to pick them yet, but Lan Xin had already let out a cry and went over to look at them one by one.

"Ma'am, this piece is beautiful!"

"Ma'am, this one looks good too!"

"Your Majesty, there is a pattern of plum blossoms here!"

Jiang Yu simply sat down: "Lan Xin, you and Hong He will choose slowly for me, I will sit for a while."

She watched Lan Xin and Hong He together, chatting while choosing, and suddenly felt that it would be good for them to make a pair, but in this case, Lan Xin would not be able to leave the palace in the future, and would have to stay in the palace for the rest of her life.

I don't know if this is the most suitable for her, maybe only she knows.

"Your Majesty, how about this piece of material?"

She was thinking about something when Lan Xin suddenly called her not far away.

She looked up, and Lan Xin shook out a horse with apricot yellow as the background color, printed with fine leaf-like patterns on it, it looked elegant and light, and it stood out among the magnificent silks and satins. different.

It seems that Lan Xin's taste has improved, Jiang Yu stood up from her chair, ready to go and have a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she heard a thin woman's voice at the door: "Huh? This piece of material is not bad!"

Immediately, two women walked in the door, one Jiang Yu knew, it was Han Hui whom she met on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other didn't look like a court lady, so she should be her maid.

It was her maid who spoke.

The servant girl turned her head and sneered at a middle-aged eunuch who was following her: "Eunuch Yan, you said that you have shown us all the materials. It turned out to be a lie. There are still good things hidden here!"

Eunuch Yan took a look and saw Hong He was there, he couldn't help but wiped off his cold sweat and asked, "Eunuch Wang, where are you?"

Honghe didn't know them, but the ones who could enter the needlework bureau should be court wives. He didn't dare to be negligent, and replied seriously: "This is the fine silk and satin that was paid in tribute in Sichuan a while ago, and they are all collected here. Yesterday, the internal affairs The government said that the empress dowager wants to reward three empresses, and let the empresses choose by themselves, so now they have opened a warehouse to pick the rewards. This is Mrs. Jiang."

As he spoke, he turned his body to the side, revealing Jiang Yu's figure.

Eunuch Yan hurriedly invited Ann, and said to the servant girl: "Miss Xiaozhen, you heard, it's not that the slaves don't show the materials to Miss Han, it's because these materials are so precious, the empress dowager specifically ordered them to be kept, and only when needed Take it out. Now it is the empress in the reward palace, so the warehouse was opened."

"Really?" The maid named Xiaozhen stared, "But the empress dowager told the eldest princess that all the fabric jewelry in the needlework bureau is for the princess and our lady to pick at will, why, and exception?"

Eunuch Yan is timid, and he shrank his head when he heard that Xiaozhen moved out the queen mother, eldest princess and princess.

He thought, anyway, Wang Honghe is in charge of the warehouse now, so let's put the blame on him!

"Wang Gonggong, you are in charge, what do you think?"

Honghe was in charge of several warehouses in the needlework bureau, and it happened that he was also in charge of this warehouse. Eunuch Yan said so, and he couldn't shirk it.

"Eunuch Yan, who are these people?" He decided to ask the identities of these people first.

Eunuch Yan walked up to Honghe and told him in a low voice, "This is the eldest princess' niece, Miss Han, the cousin of Princess Yaoqin. This is Miss Han's maid, named Xiaozhen."

"Eunuch Wang, please be more careful. I heard that Miss Han was raised by the eldest princess and his wife because of the death of her parents. She is regarded as her own daughter."

"The Empress Dowager ordered the Princess and Miss Han to make some new clothes and pick out some new jewelry, but today the Princess didn't come, only Miss Han came. You... figure it out!"

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Yan stepped back consciously, letting Hong He out.

Hong He immediately understood that although the young girl in front of her was not the master of the palace, she had the face of the eldest princess and princess, and was not much different from the master of the palace.

"Since it is the Queen Mother's order, please choose it, and then the slave will report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xiaozhen sneered and said: "The slaves in the palace are indeed rich and powerful. Seeing that we are from the northern region, don't they look down upon us? They have to ask the queen mother's order, so they are so reluctant."

She immediately put on a respectful expression again, and said to Han Hui: "Miss, please choose."

Seeing Jiang Yu, Han Hui nodded to her, said hello, and went to pick out materials on her own.

She walked around and came back again, but pointed to the piece of silk in Lan Xin's hand and said: "My lord, I want this piece of material."

When Jiang Yu heard this, she couldn't help but recall that before the dance in the palace, she was also picking materials at the needlework bureau, and met Xu Meijun robbing the materials.

Now it's just to receive a reward, but someone wants to snatch it?
