Chapter 447: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
That day, when Xiao Jingheng left Fengluan Palace, he let Zhao Hua carefully tie the purse to the imperial jade belt around his waist.
He showed great respect for it, and when he was leaving, his right hand, which was hanging naturally, was still fiddling with his purse from time to time.
Yunshan looked at them and whispered to Zhaohua:
"It seems that the emperor likes the young lady's intention very much."
Zhao Hua sneered and said disdainfully: "How can someone who has been calculating all his life take other people's worthless thoughts to heart?"
Sure enough, when they returned to Chaoyang Palace, it was the time when Zhang Yuanpan came to check Xiao Jingheng's pulse.
After checking his pulse and finding everything fine, Xiao Jingheng took off his purse, handed it to him with a small seal, and said:
"Do you think this thing is different?"
Judge Zhang took the purse, examined it carefully, and then bowed to Xiao Jingheng and said:
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this purse, and the light aroma of rutin can refresh your mind and is also beneficial to your body."
Xiao Jingheng nodded calmly, raised his hand and ordered Zhang Yuanpan to leave.
After the people left, he instructed Xiao Yinzi again, "Take this purse and ask the Anbu people to check it out."
Xiao Yinzi asked in confusion, "Didn't the emperor just ask Zhang Yuan to examine it?"
Xiao Jingheng said: "I am not suspicious of anyone, but this is something I use close to my body, so I have to check it several times before I can feel at ease."
In this case, Xiao Yinzi did not say much. Following Xiao Jingheng's instructions, he privately asked the people in the Anbu to check the purse.
The next day, after Xiao Jingheng left the court, Xiao Yinzi and the Anbu people replied to Xiao Jingheng.
What he said was the same as Zhang Yuanpan's, both saying that there was nothing wrong with the purse and that it would be beneficial to the dragon's health.
Only then did Xiao Jingheng feel at ease wearing the purse.
With Zhao Hua's kindness, Xiao Jingheng thought he had to give her something to show his love.
He then asked Xiao Yinzi to open the vault, take out all the remaining Dongzhu inside, and send them to Fengluan Palace.
When a bucket full of oriental pearls was delivered to Fengluan Palace,
Zhaohua was chatting with Concubine Ying in the main hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Hua picked one out, held it up to the sun, and admired its colorful light. He couldn't help but exclaimed:
"It is indeed a very good thing. But this hectoliter of oriental pearls is worth a million gold coins, and I feel unworthy of accepting it."
She carefully took the oriental pearl she had chosen and pushed the rest far in front of her, saying:
"Now that the Hu tribe has submitted to the Qi Dynasty and has become a vassal state of the Qi Dynasty, the people of the Hu tribe are also the people of the Qi Dynasty. I just heard from Concubine Ying that the court has begun to provide relief to the people of the Hu tribe. As the queen mother, I must do my part to help the people.
"Xiao Yinzi, please tell the emperor that I want to exchange the remaining Dongzhu for silver and distribute it to the people of Hu tribe. It is one thing for the people to have enough food and clothing, but only when they have real silver in their hands can they feel secure from the bottom of their hearts and live a stable life."
Xiao Jingheng gave these Dongzhu to Zhaohua, so Zhaohua naturally had the power to dispose of them.
At this, Xiao Yinzi responded respectfully and praised Zhaohua's benevolence.
Concubine Ying was also filled with tears of gratitude. She stood up and bowed deeply to Zhaohua. Her words choked with sobs and she was about to cry.
Zhao Hua lent her a hand to help her up and said softly:
"You shouldn't thank me, but the emperor. I have to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, but I have to have flowers to borrow first. Now the emperor treats the Hu tribe well and also uses your father. You must not let this heavenly grace down, understand?"
The country is destroyed but the mountains and rivers remain, the city is overgrown with grass in spring.
Whoever gives kindness to Hu Bu is kind, and whoever gives it is calculating.
Concubine Ying knew it well, Ada Khan knew it well, and all the people of the Hu tribe knew it well.
At this moment, Ying Fei almost gritted her teeth and said viciously:
"The emperor has taken such good care of the Hu tribe. I am deeply grateful. My father, the 100,000 people in the Hu tribe, will remember this forever and will never forget it!"
Zhao Hua acted like a mediocre person, pretending to understand the superficial meaning of her words, and nodded with a smile:
"Now that you understand, take these pearls and go to the Imperial Court to express your gratitude to the Emperor."
After sending Concubine Ying away, Zhao Hua saw that Xiao Yinzi was still standing there motionless, so he said:
"Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Xiao Yinzi approached Zhaohua with a flattering smile and said kindly:
"Empress, the Emperor has become suspicious of you for some reason. The purse you sent was not only examined by Dean Zhang, but he also asked me to find someone from the Anbu to examine it."
"What do you mean by telling me this?" Zhao Hua sneered, "Aren't all the things used in front of the emperor, especially the emperor's personal belongings, checked one by one? This is not the first day you have been working for the emperor. Is this worth telling me?"
Xiao Yinzi's flattery hit the horse's hoof, and he felt humiliated and could only smile awkwardly.
Ting Zhaohua said again: "What I gave to the emperor are all excellent things, and they can withstand anyone's inspection. And the fact that the emperor has inspected these things does not mean that he suspects me of anything. If Eunuch Yin can't understand this, then I may really have to think about whether you are a smart person or not."
"I am confused, I am confused..." Xiao Yinzi slapped himself on the face twice like a monkey, and then said, "I don't know how to distinguish many things. I only know that if the emperor does something related to the queen, I will tell the queen the first time."
Zhao Hua glanced at him with a smile, but didn't respond to his words. He just said calmly:
"I am tired, you go now."
