While looking at Jiang Xinyue, Nanny Lu took out the gold and silver treasures from the cloth bag: "Empress, I listen to you. Whatever the people of Concubine De said, I was embarrassed at first. After they came up with good things, I reluctantly agreed. They gave the slaves many, many treasures, but they left nothing behind, they are all here."
Jiang Xinyue glanced at Magpie, who walked over and, looking at Nanny Lu's guilty eyes, shook out a pair of jade earrings from her sleeves.
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows: "Are they all here?"
Nanny Lu smiled "hehe": "This pair of earrings is my favorite, and I'm a little reluctant to part with them!"
"Wow!"
Shuangjiang walked up behind her at some point, pulled her belt and shook it. Gold hairpins, pearl necklaces, precious green hairpins, etc., clinked to the ground, making both parties feel a little embarrassed.
Nanny Lu looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but she didn't dare to meet Jiang Xinyue's eyes.
Aunt Xiang couldn't help but burst out laughing. Shuangjiang and Magpie also covered their mouths and snickered. It was really too funny for Nanny Lu to look like that.
"Okay, don't play tricks here. Since Concubine De gave it to you, I won't want it from you. As long as you handle things well, these are all yours."
"Really?"
Only then did Nanny Lu dare to squat down, pick up the jewels and hairpins on the ground and put them in her arms: "My Lady, you are truly the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva and a great good person. With a master like you, I will definitely go to Daoshan for you and the Sixth Prince. , into the sea of fire, Concubine De wants to harm you and the Sixth Prince, I will definitely play tricks on her."
"What's the point of playing with her?"
Jiang Xinyue hooked her fingers: "You are like this..."
Her voice was so low that even Magpie and Shuangsheng couldn't hear her clearly, but it didn't stop them from guessing that the empress was digging a hole for Concubine De to jump into again.
In the golden autumn of September, the Sixth Prince turned five months old in a blink of an eye. The little boy has learned to sit and stand alone these days, so he doesn't like being held by his nanny and nanny all the time, and insists on sitting on the ground by himself.
Autumn has just begun, and autumn is also a relatively hot time of the year. The seasons have changed over the past few days, and the temperature difference between morning and evening alternates between hot and cold. As expected, Xiaoduanzi is infected with the wind and cold.
"Your Majesty, Nanny Lu from Hexi Palace wants to see you."
In the imperial study room, the emperor was dealing with the memorials that had accumulated after his visit to the palace some time ago, when he heard Tang Shiliang say: "He also brought a small baggage with him."
Little baggage?
Do you want to pack your bedroll and go home?
Nanny Lu held the little bundle in her arms tightly and followed Tang Shiliang step by step, her heart pounding.
Is what the empress said reliable?
With so many jewels, would the emperor really not snatch them from her?
Not to mention, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou, corruption in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the sacking of officials in Qinzhou. Money was needed everywhere. When the emperor saw the dazzling array of little bundles brought by Nanny Lu, he really became interested.
But it was not the thing in Nanny Lu's hand that was coveted, but the concubines in his harem who were amazed at how luxurious they were.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is very kind to this slave. The monthly money and rewards given to this slave are enough to support seven daughters. Concubine De has given this slave so many good things and asked her to bathe the Sixth Prince with cold water. I think. To make his cold worse, this money... I feel sorry for you, but I don't dare to tell the empress, for fear that she will doubt you and drive me away. I don't dare to refuse the concubine, for fear that she will find someone else to harm the sixth prince. I have no choice but to think that your Majesty is the most powerful person in this palace, so I came to see you. Can you give me some advice?"
Wang Dequan was shocked again. What kind of Feng Shui treasure is this Hexi Palace?
Why is it that no matter what kind of person goes in, he becomes so bold and bold when he comes out? So...hard to evaluate.
When Nanny Lu first entered the palace, she was such a cautious person that she didn't dare to speak loudly. Now she dared to come alone to ask for an audience with the emperor and let the emperor make up his mind for her.
Emperor Xuanwu had a good receptive ability. He attributed Nanny Lu's behavior to the fact that she was too simple and simple-minded. She didn't have so many twists and turns. She just came to him because she thought the emperor was powerful.
The ignorant should be fearless!
"Want me to give you some advice?"
Nanny Lu nodded hurriedly.
The emperor glanced at the small cloth bag spread out on the ground: "My ideas are not given to others randomly. You can give me the things on the ground. What is the price for my giving you ideas?"
! ! !
Why is it different from what the Imperial Concubine said? The small treasury is in danger!
But the emperor was still waiting for her answer, and Nanny Lu thought of the sixth prince who was soft and soft, with sweet-smelling grandma, and her eyes lingered on the gold and silver soft stuff for a long time.
She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, stamped her feet, and simply turned her eyes away. Her throat trembled and she said: "Okay, as long as the emperor can save the sixth prince... I... slave... slave, I don't want it anymore."
Nanny Lu could only keep comforting herself that these things were not hers in the first place. In the future, she would serve the Sixth Prince loyally and she would have all these things.
She also wanted to return home in fine clothes like Aunt Li, so that the villagers who laughed at her for only having a daughter could see what happened to their daughter. She is also a woman, but she can also earn a fortune and raise her seven daughters with dignity.
Thinking of her daughter, Nanny Lu opened her eyes and looked at the emperor firmly.
She must act upright, sit upright, not be greedy if it is not her own, take good care of the Sixth Prince, be worthy of the recommendation given by Aunt Li, worthy of the teaching given to her, and even worthy of the Imperial Concubine. The grace of trust from the empress.
Xiao Xiangzi, Jiangchuan, Magpie and Shuangjiang of Hexi Palace were all very kind to her. She liked them very much and did not want to break with them.
For this little money, it's not worth it.
The emperor lowered his head and couldn't help laughing. Yue'er Palace was full of interesting people.
When the emperor smiled, Tang Shiliang also laughed: "Ms. Lu, the emperor is teasing you! But for some gold and silver jewelry, the imperial concubine didn't ask you for it. How can we, the emperor, ask for it?"
Nanny Lu's eyes suddenly stuck to the cloth bag again, her eyes gleaming: "What does the emperor mean...that all this money... belongs to the slaves?"
The emperor nodded: "But remember, I don't reward you because you have done well in other things, but because you keep your heart and put the Sixth Prince first in everything, I feel that this is your reward." Deserve it.”
Nanny Lu could not hear what he said. She was thinking with all her heart and eyes that so many valuable and good things, if exchanged for dowries in the future, would be enough for her seven daughters to live a prosperous life.
No wonder that after Grandma Li returned to her hometown, her son and daughter-in-law were so respectful and filial to her. Aren't they no worse than the Yuanwai Lang in the county?
"Whatever Concubine De asks you to do, just tell her to do it, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Concubine De was a ruthless person, and it was not just as simple as making the sixth prince seriously ill.
There should be some backup options.
