The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 122 Accepting Gifts According to Regulations

"Eunuch, what does Imperial Concubine Shu mean by this? She stopped us from bringing gifts outside the palace."

Caizhi shouted at the small notebook in a low voice with some arrogance, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

As the queen's personal maid, when had she ever been treated like this?

Even the eunuch Liu Sheng who was beside the emperor would give her some face.

At this time, the servants of these low-ranking concubines were stopped outside the palace, and they suddenly felt ashamed.

"Miss Caizhi, please understand. This is the order of my queen." Xiao Benzi faced Caizhi's interrogation directly without any stage fright.

As the chief eunuch of Wangyueju, his status is no lower than Caizhi who is beside the queen.

"Have you informed your mother? We are here to give you a gift."

Caizhi suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke in a slightly deep voice.

"Of course I have reported it. My queen is probably asleep at this hour. Please wait a moment if you have any gifts."

Xiao Benzi spoke loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs standing in rows outside, with a hint of warning in his tone.

After hearing this, Caizhi's face suddenly turned red, and she looked at the notebook with some anger in her eyes.

Suddenly, the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the Wangyue Palace looked at each other, and discussions began to arise.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Benzi immediately shouted towards the front.

"I hope you can be quiet. If you disturb my queen's rest, it won't be as simple as waiting outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the hall suddenly fell silent.

After all, no one wants to offend the imperial concubine's majesty.

……

Wangyue lives in the inner hall.

Nanxiang was writing something on the desk, her slender right hand holding the pen straight, moving it across the paper sometimes forcefully, sometimes gently.

Kikuhei and Caiyun stood on one side waiting without saying much.

Even though the outside world is in chaos.

After a long time, Nanxiang put down the brush and picked up the paper to appreciate it.

"Your Majesty's calligraphy has become more refined. This calligraphy has a bit more skill."

Kikuhei glanced at the rows of vigorous and powerful handwriting on the paper and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

"You're the only one with a poor mouth!"

Nanxiang glanced at Kikuhei slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"What do you think Caiyun?"

Nanxiang looked at Caiyun who had a confused look and asked.

She had discovered long ago that Caiyun was not as good as Juping. Juping must have studied in a private school, but Caiyun was a real servant.

Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the nanxiang paper at this moment, of course I couldn't make any sense of it.

"I am stupid and illiterate. But I think it is very beautiful."

Caiyun glanced at the paper and could only see a bunch of lines on it, but she couldn't understand what was written on it.

"I don't blame you. Kikuhei, take some time to teach Caiyun some Chinese characters and write some calligraphy."

Nanxiang smiled calmly, without showing any blame, but turned around and gave instructions to Kikuhei.

Caiyun and Juping will definitely get married after many years.

As their master, Nanxiang still wants them to live a better life, at least to get some respect from their husband's family.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Juping said as he squatted down and looked at Caiyun with a smile.

"By the way, how long have those people outside been waiting?"

Nanxiang said casually, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Your Majesty, it has been a quarter of an hour!"

Caiyun estimated the time and said.

"Go out and have them line up, and send them off one by one. Keep a distance of thirty inches from them as much as possible."

"Also, for the gifts we received, if they are jewelry, wipe them with a white cloth soaked in alcohol and then dried. Finally, store them all in the warehouse..."

Nanxiang said this casually, then slowly walked to the couch and sat down.

She had no particular intention in making those people outside wait for so long, she was just concentrating on writing calligraphy and didn't want to be distracted.

After hearing this, Kikuhei and the other man immediately left the inner hall and called a few eunuchs to come to the courtyard to prepare to take the gifts.

Caiyun leaned over to Xiaobenzi's ear and said a few words.

"The Queen said to let them stand in a row and collect them one by one..."

Caiyun repeated what Nanxiang had instructed her to do.

"My queen has ordered that everyone line up..."

Xiao Benzi shouted loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting in front of the palace for a long time.

After hearing this, everyone frowned, but still lined up obediently.

"Miss Caizhi, you come first."

Xiao Benzi said this in a friendly manner.

There were so many eunuchs and palace maids who came to give gifts this time that they formed a long queue outside the Wangyueju Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by Wangyueju were very surprised by the sight.

It was the first time in all the days they had been in the palace that they saw a concubine being so arrogant that she actually asked people to send her off one by one.

Kikuhei's main job was to register the gifts given by each concubine, with Caiyun assisting him.

Aunt Ruolan was counting the gifts and checking whether there were any problems.

About half an hour later, the palace maids and eunuchs who presented gifts finally left Wangyueju with gloomy faces.

Although they were depressed, they could not complain at all.

……

At 3 p.m., Kikuhei delivered the registered list of gifts to the inner hall for Nanxiang to review.

The gifts sent by the concubines in the harem each have their own merits. The most expensive one is the queen's full set of gold jewelry, which are all forged from gold bars and inlaid with gems of various colors. They are magnificent and noble.

Nanxiang just glanced at it casually and threw it aside.

Feeling a little sleepy, she propped up her head and took a nap on the couch.

Listen to Xuetang.

"My lady! Didn't you see how arrogant the guy next door is? He made us palace maids and eunuchs who were delivering gifts wait outside for so long that the sun was about to melt us."

Lily had a face full of complaints. She had been ordered by Su to go next door to deliver some gifts, but she was stopped outside the palace before she could deliver them.

The sun is so hot today, it's simply punishing them using their high positions.

However, Lily couldn't stand waiting for a while and let the eunuch from Tingxue Hall take her place.

"If your master was promoted to imperial concubine, she would be so arrogant too."

Su snorted coldly, not noticing anything.

After all, she is a royal concubine, and it is a great blessing for her to allow you to wait outside for so long.

Su thought that if she was promoted to a noble concubine, she would just let these palace maids and eunuchs stand outside the door for an hour to dry out in the sun, or just drive them away after receiving the gifts to prevent them from disturbing her peace.

After hearing this, Lily immediately pouted helplessly.

Her wife had not been called by the emperor for a long time, and even her meals these days were treated differently by the imperial kitchen, with all the good things sent to the next door.

They in Tingxue Hall can only choose what they don’t want or what is left over.

How can Lily find balance in her heart?

Thinking back to the preferential treatment his mistress enjoyed when she was pregnant, he couldn't help but sigh.

It was really bad luck. I didn’t get to enjoy the good times for long before they were gone.

Now I can only envy them.
