Chapter 1203 [Updated on May 31] It Was Sent by the Emperor
To be exact, it was the first time that Lord Wuge had come to Yongshou Palace.
Ruoyin's eyes rolled slightly, because as far as she knew, men were not allowed to stay in the harem.
Even if the relatives of the concubines came to visit the harem, they were mostly female relatives.
It's like when she gave birth to her fifth elder brother, only Jue Luo, sister-in-law, and fifth princess came to see her.
Because the harem is where the concubines stay, many concubines stay alone all year round.
In order to avoid the green grassland on the emperor's head, men are not allowed to enter.
But Wu Ge's temperament has always been stable, since he came, it must have been approved by Fourth Master.
Maybe Fourth Master made an exception and asked him to come?
As a queen, Ruoyin doesn't have to go outside to meet Wuge.
But the servants were eye-catching, and they all went out to greet him one by one.
A moment later, Wuge was wearing a blue official uniform, and went to the hall to give Ruoyin a thousand blows: "I have seen the empress."
And behind him, followed by two subordinates, each holding a pile of exquisite boxes in their hands.
Look at the various gifts inside.
"Brother, get up and sit down." Ruoyin raised his hand.
With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she looked at Wuge gently.
Over the years, she only took a look at Wuge from a distance through palace banquets or various occasions.
So, this is the first time she has met Wu Ge in private since she entered the palace.
His appearance has not changed, he is still the same as a few years ago.
It's just that his body looks more burly than before, and his whole person has lost the youthful atmosphere, and has a more stable taste.
Although she is not her real brother, Wuge helped her a lot when she was in Qiandi.
Every time I go to a place, I always remember to bring her local specialties.
This point, even though she lives in the palace now, has not changed.
Wuge got up and sat down on the armchair in the room.
After he sat down, he said: "By the way, I haven't seen a few elder brothers for a long time. This time I went to the palace and specially brought them some gifts."
At this time, the subordinates around him handed over those boxes to Banmei and Rushuang.
"It's good that brother is here, and bring any gifts." Ruoyin smiled lightly.
"Should be." Wuge seemed to have something to say. After a pause, he pointed to the pile of gifts and said, "That... there is a set of golden silk, emerald greens, pearls and stone phoenix tin in it. Sent by the emperor."
Hearing this, Ruoyin's face turned cold, "The emperor, like me, lives here and in the Forbidden City, and now he is so busy asking my brother to help deliver gifts."
Five cells: "..."
"If brother comes here to be a lobbyist for the emperor, please go ahead." Ruoyin said.
Ever since she came back from Taimiao, Fourth Master called her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation even though he had been to Yongshou Palace a few times.
But compared to before, there always seems to be something missing between them.
Now that this year's home is closed, things are in the past.
Fourth Master also fulfilled his promise, and even advanced the half-year agreement by more than half.
But what happened always left a crack in my heart, and I couldn't go back to the past.
It is estimated that the fourth master also noticed it, so he asked Wuge to come over to be a lobbyist.
Otherwise, with his cautious temperament, he would not make a loss-making business, and he was willing to make an exception and let Wu Ge come to the harem to see her.
"That's not the case. Of course I'm not speaking for the emperor." Wu Ge explained hastily, with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and replied in embarrassment: "I just came out of the emperor just now, and the emperor said that you recently I'm a little upset, let me come over to see you, and bring him a gift by the way."
He is really in a dilemma.
One is brother-in-law, and his identity is still the emperor.
One is his own sister, who is having an awkward fight with the emperor.
But he was able to come to Yongshou Palace to see his younger sister, and it was not because of the emperor's blessing that he had this opportunity.
Otherwise, no matter how he thinks about it, the guards won't let him go without the badge given by the emperor.
In addition, he is just a courtier, so it is not a big deal for the emperor to ask him to help bring a gift, and it is not easy to refuse.
Otherwise, it will look like you just got the credit, and you start to float away, and you start to resist the order.
Ruoyin glanced at the five frames.
In fact, she also knew that Wu Ge could not resist what fourth master asked Wu Ge to do.
Besides, such a small matter is not harmful at all.
It's just that she said it in advance to avoid Wuge's involvement in persuading her.
"Really, I'm just giving gifts for the emperor. I don't have any other intentions. Besides, you've always been an independent person. I have nothing to persuade you."
Seeing that Ruoyin didn't speak, Wuge thought she was angry. He scratched his head and said, "Actually, as long as you're happy, I don't want to interfere with anything else."
The emperor had a conflict with his younger sister, even if the younger sister didn't speak up, he wouldn't speak for the emperor.
This should be put in when the younger sister just married, he might feel that the emperor can't treat the younger sister well.
As for the past few years, he thinks that the emperor has treated his younger sister much better than before.
Therefore, he didn't want to get involved with the couple's affairs.
Next, Wuge really didn't say anything good about fourth master to Ruoyin, he just talked about family matters.
The siblings chatted until dusk, and Ruoyin originally wanted to stay here for five meals.
But after thinking about it, Wuge just returned to Beijing today, maybe the fifth princess waited for him in the mansion with her children for a day, so she didn't keep him.
She personally delivered Wuge to the gate of Yongshou Palace, and returned a bunch of gifts.
Let Wuge take it back to the fifth princess, as well as a pair of nephews and nieces.
As for other things, she won't talk about them, anyway, Wuge has always been a prudent one.
After sending Wuge away, the servants showed Ruoyin all the gift lists sent by Wuge.
As for the set of gold tires, emerald greens, inlaid pearls, and stone phoenix tins that fourth master gave, Grandma Liu opened the box conspicuously, and presented it to Ruoyin on purpose.
It was a set of phoenix tins made of red gold.
The entire front of this tin is decorated with golden silk, and there are nine drooping tasseled phoenixes on the edge of the mouth.
With just a slight movement, the tassels on it will sway.
And in the middle, there are five slightly larger golden phoenix flowers arranged horizontally as the main hairpin, all with tassels hanging down.
Seventy-five rubies and sapphires hang from the fringed hem.
Twenty-five large and small oriental beads are inlaid on those golden phoenixes.
On the top of the tin is a branch of golden flowers, and a piece of fifth-class oriental pearls and three sapphires are inlaid on it.
One point of the Jiufeng pick card is inlaid with eight fifth-grade east beads, one small inner bead, three hundred and thirty-eight rubies on the fifth-grade bead, and thirteen corners.
There are two burnt red stones inside, eleven sapphire pendants, six tourmaline pendants and two hibiscus stones, nineteen coral jewels, eleven lapis lazuli jewels and five turquoise jewels.
Just these lustrous oriental pearls and dazzling gemstones are enough to blind the eyes of everyone present.
There is no woman who does not love these beautiful things, and Ruoyin also likes those crystal clear colored gemstones.
But she also knew that fourth master's sending this was definitely more than just a gift.
"Your Majesty, this phoenix tin is so beautiful, even better than the one made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when you canonized it. Such exquisite workmanship, I think the emperor has already had someone make it a few months ago." Liu Nam Ma said.
It takes a lot of effort to make such delicate jewelry.
Just those pearls and precious stones require a lot of thought.
At this time, even Banmei who was on the side said: "Yes, empress, the emperor sent Jiufeng Tianzi at this time, to show that this empress will always belong to you, and you have the final say on the entire harem."
She and Madam Liu saw that there was something wrong between the empress and the emperor, as slaves, they naturally had to hope that the master and the emperor would be well.
Ruoyin glanced at the jewelry lightly, and said, "Okay, put them all away."
She has never been a materialistic person.
In addition to the precious jewelry that fourth master gave her over the years, it is not unusual to go around the Forbidden City.
It was night, when Ruoyin had just had dinner, Su Peisheng came over to deliver a message.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a talk."
