Chapter 42: Precious Reward

After watching for a while, Concubine De also found it very interesting. She estimated that the Second Princess could have fun all day, so she said with relief: "Sister, please help me take care of the Second Princess. The Empress has some things to pass on to me, which should be for the New Year's banquet."

Empress Zhu could not bear it any longer, so she called Concubine Liang and Concubine De to help her two confidants to take care of the palace affairs together.

Jiang Xinyue waved her hands indifferently: "Okay, okay, I will take good care of the Second Princess. Sister Defei, go quickly! Say hello to the Empress for me. Oh! Xi Que, why are you being so lazy? You must take three steps back here."

Defei smiled and shook her head helplessly, like a child. No wonder she is so popular with several children. They all regard Empress Zhen as their playmate of the same age.

After Defei left, the eldest princess and the third prince also came. Xi Que, Shuangjiang, and Xiao Xuanzi stopped playing and let the three little masters play with Empress Zhen.

When Wang Dequan carefully held the white fox fur in his hands, the four of them were having fun and laughing without any image.

"Empress Zhenguirong, I have brought you the emperor's gift."

The four of them paused, and Jiang Xinyue walked over first: "What is the other gift?"

Wang Dequan stretched out his hands, and a snow-white and soft white fox fur coat came into view.

This fox fur coat was free of impurities, and even reflected dazzling light under the sunlight. The style was slim, and the collar was fastened with a rose embroidered collar buttoned with a light apricot pattern. A hat with a circle of fox fur on the edge could cover her little face completely and protect it from the wind and frost. Even

Jiang Xinyue, who was used to the artificial mink fur, real mink fur coats and fox fur coats of later generations, was amazed by this exquisite work of art.

The wisdom of the ancients is sometimes more amazing than modern people imagine.

At least Jiang Xinyue thinks that modern people will not really make a real coat with 100% white fox fur.

They will mix 80% artificial fur in the fox fur, and then make 88,000 yuan from you with tears.

Especially the Dayan dynasty, which has never existed in history, wears the Manchu costume of the Qing Dynasty, combs the Manchu hair, and steps on the flower pot bottom. There are no five white foxes in the whole country.

It can be seen that this reward is extraordinary.

"The Emperor said that Empress Zhen Guirong should wear this fox fur at the New Year's banquet. The banquet will be held outdoors, so don't get cold."

Xi Que accepted the gift, but Wang Dequan was still worried and said, "Zhen Guirong, you must keep it carefully when you are not wearing it on weekdays. There is only one fox fur in the entire Yan Dynasty."

It is very precious!

Unless it is a national treasure, a shrewd person like Wang Dequan would not say a word.

Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Wang, I know."

After sending Wang Dequan away, the eldest princess, the second princess and the third prince all gathered around, looking at the dazzling white fox fur, and they kept saying "wow".

But no one dared to touch it.

Although Jiang Xinyue knew it was precious, clothes! Aren't they for people to wear?

She reached out and picked up the fox fur coat, threw it around, and put it on. Her movements were smooth and beautiful, just like dancing.

She was especially beautiful and self-aware. She turned around in a circle. The white snow and the white fox fur coat complemented each other. The beautiful woman was like a fox that had come down from the snowy mountains and cultivated into a human form. She was ethereal and charming.

This white fox fur coat should belong to her. Everyone present thought so. No one was worthy of this pure white and flawless color. Only Empress Zhen Guirong, who was beautiful beyond measure, did not have clothes to complement her, but she complemented her clothes.

The third prince was stunned: "Empress Zhen looks like a fairy who has descended to the earth!"

Jiang Xinyue pinched his nose: "Our third prince has good taste."

She traveled from the 21st century, so how could she not be considered a fairy who has descended to the earth?

The eldest princess and the second princess were full of envy, but their eyes were clear and there was no jealousy.

Regardless of whether the concubines in the harem are vicious or hypocritical, the children are still raised very well.

I heard that the princesses and princes will study and live in the prince's residence after they are seven years old. The education is all done by teachers selected by the emperor himself, and the servants in the prince's residence are all from Chengqian Palace. It seems that

Emperor Xuanwu also knows that his harem is a mixed bag, and he is afraid that the concubines will lead the princes and princesses astray, so he made preparations in advance. For

example, today, when the prince's residence was on a rest day, they came to Empress Zhen's palace to play.

Their curiosity about fox fur was only for a while. After Jiang Xinyue took it off, they went to play double six again.

Empress Zhen always wins, and the three of them are now allied, and they must defeat Empress Zhen.

"Your Majesty..."

On the way back to Zhongcui Palace from Yu Garden, Zhang Wanyi's teeth were almost broken.

She had angered the emperor because of her interference in government affairs, and not only was she demoted from Wan Guiyi to Wanyi, but the culprit Zhen Guiren was suddenly transformed into Zhen Guirong .

Not only was the empress caring and affectionate to her, but even the emperor doted on her.

Just now, she met Wang Dequan, and saw him carefully holding something and going to Hexi Palace.

It was obvious that it must be a reward from the emperor to Zhen Guirong.

She took a few deep breaths, reminding herself to stay calm. Zhen Guirong was more important to the emperor than she thought, and she must not act rashly.

Otherwise, her fate would not be much better than Jiang Yuan.

She had seen through Concubine Li Guifei. She would just pretend to be a fool when they were forced to charge into battle. If anything happened, she would not save her.

"Forget it."

Zhang Wanyi shook her handkerchief and stuffed her hands into her furry sleeves: "Let's go back!"

At night, Hexi Palace was supposed to be the one to light the lights, but Rongpin, who lived in a side hall of Changxin Palace, was suddenly revealed to be two months pregnant. Concubine Li Guifei sent someone to invite the emperor over.

Although Shuangjiang was young, she was also an old lady in the palace. After she closed the palace door, she sighed and said, "Empress Rong is pregnant. I'm afraid that Ci Ning Palace will be in trouble again?"

Jiang Xinyue looked over curiously. Before she could speak, Xi Que had already asked for her, "What do you mean?"

Shuangjiang looked around, approached them, and whispered, "Empress Rong and Concubine Rong are the emperor's cousins ​​and the empress dowager's nieces. Previously, the emperor dealt with the Wu family, and the empress dowager closed the door of Ci Ning Palace in a rage, claiming to be sick. But I think that person is not a person who gives up power. The sudden news that Empress Rong is pregnant is a sign that the empress dowager is going to come out."

Jiang Xinyue's eyes lit up: "Not bad! Shuangjiang, you can think of so much?"

"Your Majesty~"

The little maid stomped her feet: "This servant is reminding you that the one in Cining Palace is not a good person. You have to avoid Concubine Rong when facing her, otherwise you will suffer the loss."

"Really?"

Jiang Xinyue squinted her eyes and smiled: "I, your majesty! The thing I fear least is suffering losses."

As the saying goes, suffering losses is a blessing.
