Chapter 294: A Small Concubine
"I have just received a bucket of pearls from the Emperor, they are of good quality, I think Concubine Yu will also like them.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made it into pearl tassels, so let's give it to the newlyweds as a token of my appreciation."
Ruyi raised her hand, and the palace maids, led by Rong Pei, presented the tassels to the four ladies.
Song Changzai had received Ruyi's favor during the palace selection, and as soon as she got the tassel, she immediately began to praise her enthusiastically.
"It is rare for a pearl born from a freshwater clam to be so round and large. Moreover, this pearl is bright orange-pink in color.
If I were to say, the pearl tassel given by the Queen is not only of good quality, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare.
It can be seen that the emperor values the queen, and the concubines also benefit from it."
After that, Song Changzai, with the help of her personal maid, put the pearl tassel on the head of the flag.
Ruyi folded her hands on her knees and nodded softly, "Yes, this orange-pink color is bright and beautiful. It really suits a beautiful girl like Song Changzai."
After receiving Ruyi's praise, Song Changzai smiled sweetly and quickly stood up to express her gratitude.
E Yinzhu is very competitive. Seeing Ruyi praising others, she naturally doesn't want to be left behind.
She also asked her personal maid Duoyan to put the tassel on her and fiddled with it for a few times, "To be honest, I didn't like pearls when I was at home.
But since the Emperor and the Empress like it, I will always carry it with me and never forget the Empress' kindness."
It's not that she doesn't like pearls, she's just unfamiliar with them on the grassland.
Ruyi was too lazy to expose her, she just smiled calmly and said, "As long as you like it. In the future, if you serve the emperor attentively, such rewards will only be more, not less."
After paying their respects, everyone left the Yikun Palace one after another.
Thinking that they were all Mongolian concubines, E Yinzhu took the initiative to step forward and called Yingpin "sister".
Yingpin rolled her eyes and refused to even give her a good look.
"Princess Yu, please be careful with your words. Although I entered the palace before you, considering my age, I really don't dare to call you my sister.
Yupin, you should use your flattering skills on other people. I have lived in Mongolia for many years, but I have never seen anyone like you. "
Being humiliated by Yingpin in public, Yupin looked unhappy. She stared at Yingpin and Ke Guiren talking and laughing, and her eyes almost spit fire as they saw their backs going away.
Duoyan knew that her master had such a hot temper, so she hurriedly supported E Yinzhu and gently comforted him, "Master, don't be angry, Yingpin and Ke Guiren are just jealous of your favor from the emperor.
We are princesses from the Khorchin tribe. The palm-sized Balin tribe that Yingpin belongs to is not even worthy of carrying our shoes. Why do you have to lower your status and argue with them?"
E Yinzhu stroked her chest and slowly recovered her breath, "You are right. She treats me like this, and I still look down on her.
One day, when I appoint concubines or queens, I will tear off their fake masks one by one and punish them severely."
"Empress Yu is very ambitious."
Following the voice, I looked back and saw Rui Changzai and Bai Da Ying who lived in the same palace with E Yinzhu.
When he saw that it was them, the guilty feeling that Eyinzhu had originally felt for being caught saying bad things about people behind their backs quickly disappeared without a trace.
She looked at the two men with pride as they respectfully patted her temples, "I was just speaking casually, just pretend you didn't hear anything.
If I hear any rumors outside, you will be in trouble."
Eyinzhu's threatening words made Bai Da Ying shudder, but did not scare Rui Changzai.
Rui Changzai smiled flatteringly, "My concubine and I are both in the palace of Concubine Yu. Everything in the future will depend on you.
"The Queen forbids the concubines to hear, so of course the concubines can't hear it. Since we can't hear it, how can there be any rumors?"
Bai Da Ying also echoed from the side.
Seeing that the two of them were well-behaved, E Yinzhu was in a good mood and waved her hand, "Okay, it's fate that we can be assigned to the same palace.
This time, I brought back a lot of milk tea from the Khorchin tribe. You two can go with me to taste it."
Eyinzhu was a person who spoke without restraint. If there were no other women of the right age in the Khorchin tribe, with her scheming and means, she would have never been able to enter the palace.
On the long street, she dared to speak without any scruples, and when she returned to Yongshou Palace, she became even more unscrupulous.
After drinking a cup of milk tea, Rui Changzai sighed, "This milk tea really tastes different.
I am able to taste this today, thanks to Concubine Yu’s blessing.”
E Yinzhu was very pleased with Rui Changzai's flattery, "If you like it, I will ask Duo Yan to pack some and send it to you later."
The two of them thanked her repeatedly, and E Yinzhu just told them not to be so reserved and to just call her sister.
Seeing that E Yinzhu was so easy to coax, Bai Da Ying became bolder and said, "Sister Yu is indeed a princess of the Khorchin tribe. She is open-minded and straightforward.
The Khorchin tribe is the largest clan in Mongolia, and Sister Yu is naturally as precious as the legend says, a figure as precious as the pearl of the grassland.
No wonder the emperor values you so much and gave you the honor of being the mistress of the palace as soon as you entered it.
For other women, this is an honor that they would never dare to imagine.”
E Yinzhu smiled and took a sip of the milk tea in the cup. The smug look on his face was like dew on the petals in the morning, almost overflowing.
Seeing this, Rui Changzai continued to flatter, "I heard that since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it has been intermarrying with the Khorchin tribe for generations, and the relationship is very close.
Historically, women from the Khorchin tribe who entered the palace were either imperial concubines, queens, or even queen mothers. They were extremely noble and favored.
Speaking of the Borjigit clan of Sister Yu’s lineage, I remember the Empress Xiaoduanwen and Empress Xiaozhuangwen of Emperor Tiancong. "
Bai agreed and said, "Emperor Shunzhi's two empresses also came from this family. Sister Yu comes from such a great family, so she will definitely have a great future."
The Eyin Pearl was held in the same chorus by the two of them, and she felt as if she was floating in a soft cloud.
At this moment, what she was holding in her hand seemed no longer to be milk tea, but intoxicating wine.
E Yinzhu's eyes became blurred and frivolous, "Did you two put honey on your little mouths? Hehehe.
But I am not bragging, my Abu said that I entered the palace at this age, not just to be a concubine."
Listening to E Yinzhu talking about her ambitions in a superficial and arrogant manner, Rui Changzai and Bai Da Ying not only did not dare to look down on her in the slightest, but instead took her seriously and flattered her even more vigorously.
Only after Eyinzhu promised that he would not forget to support them when he was in a high position in the future, did the two of them go back satisfied.
