Emperor Wanli nodded subconsciously when he saw this look, and then he figured out what was going on and felt relieved! When Liu Haojia saw him nodding, he knelt down.
Although such a complete set of actions happened in a short period of time, Zijuan, who has a sharp ear and eyesight, saw it clearly! However, she remained calm, as if she hadn't seen it, and opened the yellow silk on a tray behind her, revealing a pair of half-foot-long jadeite Ruyi!
Then she picked up the tray and brought it to Liu Haojia. Liu Haojia bowed three times before standing up and thanking the Queen Mother, and then took the tray with both hands. Zhang Jia saw that there was another palace maid holding something in her hand, and knew that there was still a reward, so he stepped forward and took the tray from Liu Haojia's hand and stood aside.
At this time, Zijuan said with a smile: "The empress said that Wu Ninghou is diligent and hardworking, but he should also pay attention to his own family affairs while working for the royal family and the court! You must know that the real way is to cultivate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. It makes sense! So I asked my maid to ask again, has Wu Ninghou set a wedding date?"
Liu Haojia said respectfully: "To tell you the truth, the specific wedding date has not yet been decided, but the approximate time has been set, around the end of next year." ap.
Zijuan asked again: "I heard that Wu Ninghou's fiancée is the daughter of a merchant who was my childhood sweetheart, is this right?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Exactly! Even my father-in-law has a close relationship with my father, which is why we have this engagement!"
Zicuckoo nodded and said, "The empress said that since Wu Ninghou hasn't admitted anyone yet, she doesn't want to reward him with anything, so she will reward the Marquis with a head and face, and ask the Marquis to pass it on to his wife at the wedding. That’s it!”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and lifted up the yellow silk on the other tray, revealing a golden head and face! Although this face looks ordinary, it is dignified and majestic! Liu Liu Haojia immediately understood that this was what was prepared for the real wife!
You know, women's jewelry is afraid of being novel, so craftsmen have to think hard to come up with new patterns. Only a real lady wearing such traditional and elegant jewelry can show her identity!
After Liu Haojia saw the jewelry, he immediately thanked her again and stretched out his hands to take the tray. At this time, Zijuan said with a smile: "My servant's affairs have been explained!"
After Liu Haojia stood up, a eunuch immediately came forward to take the tray in his hand, and he took out a few gold leaves from his waist and handed them to the maid next to Zicuckoo, saying, "Girl, please go for a little while." Please keep it in mind!"
Zicuckoo had long seen the golden light shining in Liu Haojia's hand, so she naturally understood what it was. However, she still smiled and nodded naturally and said, "I've heard for a long time that the Marquis has a golden touch, so I'll be rude to you!"
After saying goodbye to Emperor Wanli, she left Shi Shiran. After Zijuan left, Emperor Wanli stood up, picked up the jade Ruyi, looked at it carefully in his hand, and said, "These should be the treasures that the queen mother kept at the bottom of the box! It is said that the late emperor got a piece of jade back then. It was of good quality but not big, so the craftsman made it." The jade Ruyi carved with two small sizes, I think these are the two!"
Liu Haojia said: "Your Majesty is a generous gift, but I really don't dare to accept it!"
Emperor Wanli put the jade Ruyi back on the tray nonchalantly and said, "What's here! You can take what the Queen Mother rewards you with."
A few people here commented on Queen Mother Li's reward and then turned back to the original topic. In the Queen Mother's palace, as soon as Zicuckoo returned, Queen Mother Li called her to her eyes and asked, "I'll give you everything." went?"
Zicuckoo bowed and said, "My Lady, Marquis Wu Ning has accepted the reward and thanked him on the spot!"
Queen Mother Li said casually: "Let me tell you what happened at that time."
Zicuckoo immediately cheered up and told the scene in detail, in chronological order. When he said that Liu Haojia turned to look at Emperor Wanli, she even emphasized her tone slightly. She believed that the Queen Mother could hear it!
And after she finished speaking, she deliberately paused, as if she wanted to organize her words, but in fact she was leaving room for Queen Mother Li to speak.
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "This Marquis Wu Ning really knows how to advance and retreat, and knows who his master is! Zijuan, go on!"
Zijuan then continued to introduce the situation at that time, but she was talking about
While speaking, he kept looking at Queen Mother Li's expression. When she mentioned that Liu Haojia's fiancée was still the merchant's daughter, the corners of Li Kaihou's mouth twitched upwards, and he seemed to be in a good mood!
At this time, Zijuan immediately figured out that Queen Mother Li was not from a high background, she was just a palace maid. When he was sold into Prince Yu's Mansion by his father, his status was probably not as high as Miss Zhang's! After all, he is a free man, not a slave!
So when she knew that Liu Haojia did not have the situation of "rich friends change, expensive wives change", she would feel that Liu Haojia was a good man. In addition, Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Peijia are in similar situations, and they may have some sympathy for each other, so they will naturally become closer!
So when she saw the smile on Queen Mother Li's face, she knew that Wu Ninghou and his wife had won the favor of the Queen Mother this time! If it comes to innocuous matters in the future, even the Queen Mother may have to stand up for him. Not to mention the future Mrs. Wu Ninghou! So she immediately put Zhang Peijia on the list of people she must make friends with!
After she finished speaking, Queen Mother Li said: "The errand was done well, but did Wu Ninghou give you a reward?"
Zicuckoo said with an exaggerated smile: "I've rewarded you, and you're very generous. I just shoved six gold leaves into it! The two little girls who followed me today have made a fortune!"
Queen Mother Li knew that she would take at least four of these gold leaves! If she grabs them all, she can give the two palace maids some money. But she didn't point it out, and still said with a smile: "Well, he is a rich man! In the future, the Ai family will reward him with more things, and then I will let you take turns to make a fortune!"
Several other favored palace maids naturally cheered when they heard this. They thanked Empress Dowager Li first and then gathered around to take a look, asking Zicuckoo to take out the golden leaves and have a look!
In fact, given their current net worth, they may not necessarily value the value represented by these gold leaves, but they are rare, so they have to take a look!
After everyone made a fuss, they naturally turned the conversation back to Liu Haojia. After saying a few words, Zijuan said: "My Lady, it seems that you are very fond of Wu Ninghou?"
Queen Mother Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do you say that?"
Zicuckoo pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In the past, when you mentioned him, you always mentioned this 'little hozen'. When you mention him today, you mentioned Wu Ninghou!"
