Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 334
"Actually, for palace ladies, there are too few styles of palace flowers, even for beautiful ladies. There are very few styles of palace flowers. When the prince saw it yesterday, my sister felt that it was not very suitable. Everyone in the harem is the same. There are no special features, and some are optional, which is also a good thing. Besides, the ladies and officials are better dressed, and the emperor is happy to see it. If there is any banquet, it can be regarded as a feature. And the younger sister thinks that this harem maid The clothes are all the same, so it's not easy to tell which palace it is, otherwise, it would be more obvious to distinguish it by the color of the palace clothes and the style of the silver hairpin." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "You are right in saying that, but most of the personal maids have rewarded clothes and jewelry, which are of no use to those personal maids."

"Brother Huang, in fact, there are not many such close-fitting maids in every palace. Brother Huang can also reward you with a silver hairpin and wear it every day, and it won't hinder you. Besides, one more silver hairpin won't be too complicated. Besides, , those close-fitting maids, in the palace, it is impossible that no one will not recognize them, even if they don't wear silver hairpins, it will be all right." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. That's it. When the styles come, let's choose them together."

"It's better for the princess to talk. Sure enough, a big man like this kind of woman can't understand it. If there is no princess, I'm afraid this idea would be in vain." Feng Yong sighed.

Wei Huaqing shook his head helplessly: "What you said, I don't know what to say. Don't answer it. It seems that you are right. Answer it. I don't know what to say."

"Your Majesty was joking, but I was just feeling emotional. It's because I don't understand these things. From my point of view, the silver hairpins are all the same. Who knows, there are so many sayings. In addition, I rarely enter the harem. This harem has I don't know how many palaces, let alone the maids. In charge of the draft, I even met a few, otherwise, I don't know what the palace maids look like." Feng Yong smiled helplessly.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "That's true. But Lan Xin has a thorough understanding of the palace environment."

"Is the emperor laughing at my sister? This is my first time entering the palace. I just thought that the emperor had rewarded many people before, and there were a lot of people in the palace, so it was difficult to distinguish them. That's why I thought of this. By the way, Brother Emperor, the original servants of the palace have returned. Can you withdraw the manpower you rewarded at that time? There will be many empresses in the palace soon, and it must be time to employ people. There are only two of us in the palace, so there is no need. There are so many people, why not divide some and come back to serve them." Bai Lan suggested with a smile.

Wei Huaqing shook his head: "There are still many people in the palace, not short of that number of people. Besides, you are going to marry him soon, and it is time for the mansion to employ people. I am calling you back now, and I will send someone over soon. At that time, people may not be the same as they are now, and they have to re-adjust, isn't it very troublesome? It's better to be like this, which is more convenient."

"Brother Huang is thoughtful, but sister Chen is not thinking clearly." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing frowned and asked, "You are in such a hurry to return people to me, is it because those people didn't take good care of them? Or maybe I will send you some experienced people?"

"That's not the case. Sister Chen is just used to living alone and doesn't like to be served by so many people. Besides, it's really inconvenient to hug each other every time I go out. Just like last time, Sister Chen went out to see some rouge." Water powder, those people actually want to follow every step of the way. It’s just a powder, what can they do? They are too careful. The foot of the imperial city is naturally safe. In this way, it is not clear to tell the people that the imperial city is not safe, causing people to panic. Panic? That's why Chen Mei scolded those maids." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded in satisfaction: "You are right. These servants are a bit too protective of the lord. At the foot of the imperial city, you don't have to be so careful. But they are right to follow you. Even at the foot of the imperial city, you should be careful. It's easy to hide from open spears, but hard to defend against hidden arrows, so many people, aren't they all those with a heart?"

"Brother Huang is right, then next time I go out, my sister will definitely take someone with me." Bai Lan said with a smile.

At this moment, Feng Yong said with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty, the draft is about to start, you are always revising memorials here, why don't you come to the harem to have a look?"

"Harem? What does this have to do with the draft?" Wei Huaqing didn't understand.

Feng Yong shook her head: "Your Majesty, the new mistress will be here soon. The old mistress, aren't you going to comfort me?"

"Consolation? Why comfort?" Wei Huaqing was a little confused.

Feng Yong shook her head helplessly: "What the emperor said, no wonder those empresses regarded me as a beauty hidden in a golden house."

"It's just that the concubine is not sensible." Wei Hua said calmly.

"Get out of the way! I'm going in, can you stop me?"

"Concubine Ning, here is the prince waiting for you, you are the empress of the inner palace, how can you just go in casually?"

"Get out of the way! Concubine Xia can go in, why can't I go in?"

"Master Fang, what's so noisy?"

"Who is this……"

"My lord, this is Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning, this is King Huiwen."

"King Huiwen...you...is that you? What about her? Is she here too?"

"I don't know, who is Concubine Ning asking?"

"It's nothing, I have identified the wrong person... Then I will leave first, and the prince will wait here."

"I'm sorry, my lord, this Concubine Ning is just so casual, we can't help it... Your lord has a lot, so please forgive her... Besides, we are ministers and they are masters, so there is nothing we can do, right? ?”

"Your Majesty Fang, you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault. Concubine Ning probably thought that the emperor's golden house was hiding her charms, so she was so angry and wanted to come in. When she saw this king, she immediately felt that she had admitted the wrong person, and left quickly."

"Your Majesty is right, Concubine Ning is like this. Oh, she came from a small place..."

"Master Fang, don't let others listen to your words. It's not very good to talk about these things casually."

"My lord said, I know."

Thinking of this, Feng Yong smiled: "Anyway, you are the emperor, everything is right, I dare not have any objections."

"What the prince said, I'm not afraid of the emperor's brother blaming me. By the way, the emperor's brother, why didn't you see the emperor's sister-in-law?" Bai Lan asked with a smile.

Wei Huaqing shook his head: "It's all from my family, it's okay. She doesn't like these occasions on weekdays, so she never came here."

Wei Huaqing turned his head and told the eunuch next to him, "Go and ask the queen what she is doing, and tell her that Lan Xin and Feng Yong are here. If she doesn't have dinner, come and join us."

"Yes." The eunuch next to him hurried out.

It didn't take long for the queen to appear. The queen was wearing a thin blouse with a flower vase pattern on a light gold background, a winding skirt that dragged the floor, and a single gauze in elastic ink.She has soft long hair, a coquettish chic bun, and an ivory hairpin with flowers and leaves inserted in the lightly curled temples. On her creamy skin, she wears a flat silver bracelet with nine curved plain patterns, and a net sash around her waist. Hanging a sachet with a begonia gold silk pattern, and wearing patterned thin-soled shoes on her feet, the whole person looks pretty and dignified.

Seeing Qin Wanyi's appearance, Wei Huaqing smiled: "The empress is well dressed today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. Your Majesty's liking is a blessing for these clothes and accessories." Qin Wanyi smiled lightly.

The servants had already helped Qin Wanyi to place a seat beside Wei Huaqing, so Qin Wanyi directly led the servants to that place and sat down.

When Wei Huaqing saw Qin Wanyi approaching, he didn't intend to help her at all, and let Qin Wanyi sit down by herself.

Seeing Qin Wanyi taking her seat, Bai Lan said with a smile, "Lan Xin has seen the emperor's wife."

"Princess Lan Xin, it's the first time we meet, and it is indeed as the emperor said, both talented and beautiful." Qin Wanyi said with a smile.

Bai Lan smiled: "The sister-in-law of the emperor is a little embarrassed to praise her like this. In terms of both talents and looks, she should be the wife of the emperor, right? Both. After the Empress Conferment Ceremony, I will feel more at ease when the emperor's wife is in charge of the harem and the emperor is in the previous court. My sister congratulates the emperor with this wine, and is happy to have the help of a beautiful woman. I hope that the emperor will be happy with each other in the future."

"I like what Lan Xin said." Wei Huaqing picked up the wine and drank it down.

When Qin Wanyi heard this, she smiled and said, "Lan Xin is really smart and eloquent."

"The emperor's brother and sister-in-law have won the award. Lan Xin is very happy to be praised by the emperor's brother and wife." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Feng Yong smiled lightly and said: "The emperor and the empress are so polite, but they are a little alienated. The princess is a righteous sister, why should she be so polite between aunts and sisters-in-law?"

Qin Wanyi glanced at Feng Yong thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "My lord said this, as if we are not a family. You and Lan Xin are going to get married soon, and soon, we will be a family."

"The queen's empress said that, that means she is close. But if I say that, it is presumptuous. However, the empress is able to treat me as her own family, and I am very happy." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Qin Wanyi said calmly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite, and you don't have to be so careful. It's just a family banquet, why make it so exaggerated."

"Then it's better to be respectful than obedient." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Qin Wanyi looked at the phoenix butterfly silver hairpin on Bai Lan's head, and said with a smile: "Lan Xin, don't you have enough jewelry? Although this silver hairpin is exquisitely made and has a good style, it is a cheap thing after all. You are a princess and you wear it on your head. This, I'm afraid it's not good."

"The emperor's sister-in-law was joking. There were still a lot of jewelry that the emperor rewarded when he was canonized last time. It's just that the younger sister thinks that the court is spending money now, and the younger sister can save a little bit. Besides, silver jewelry is better than gold jewelry." The gold ornaments are more exquisite. The gold ornaments given by the emperor's brother are of high purity and softer. The money made is not as much as the silver ornaments. Therefore, the younger sister decided to reduce the number of gold ornaments in the future. As long as it is not a large occasion, some silver ornaments will be used instead. Gold ornaments, this will not look shabby, and can also reduce the expenditure on jewelry. The emperor's wife also knows that on weekdays, most of the palace flowers are used in the palace, and most of the palace flowers are made of silk, which is perishable. Durable." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Qin Wanyi nodded in satisfaction: "Lan Xin is right, since that's the case, next time Lan Xin buys silver hairpins, she will also buy some for me, and I can also wear them at ordinary times. We have to bear the expenses of the court together, right? ?"

"It's good for the queen to have this idea. I'm so relieved. It seems that what King Huiwen said is correct. This matter can indeed be promoted in the harem. Those little concubines, court ladies and female officials can all make some money. Put the hairpin there and wear it normally." Wei Huaqing said with a smile.

Qin Wanyi smiled and said: "What the emperor said is true. The harem spends a lot on various jewelry, and gold with high purity is relatively soft and can be made with few tricks. Besides, it is nothing to be full of jewels and emeralds." Good thing. Palace flowers and the like are indeed perishable, and some female officials are frugal and don’t like gold ornaments, so in this case, silver hairpins are very good.”

"The queen thought about it, but I didn't think of it. The queen is caring." Wei Huaqing said with a smile.

Bai Lan shook her head helplessly: "That's enough, let's talk about something about the harem. What the emperor's brother and sister-in-law said is like a conversation between husband and wife, which makes people very envious."

"Lan Xin doesn't need to be envious, you will get married soon, and then you can too." Qin Wanyi said with a smile.

Feng Yong shook her head: "The empress can always joke, you and the emperor, how can a minister be compared to a princess?"

"My lord, you don't have to be polite. This is not a matter of comparison. As long as the relationship between the two is good, you don't have to say these things, and it will be enviable." Qin Wanyi said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "The empress is right. They are doing things together often now, and they will have it when they get married. At that time, it's not them talking about us, it's us talking about them."

"That's the reason. When the time comes, maybe we will envy them." Qin Wanyi joked.

Bai Lan shook her head: "The emperor's brother and sister-in-law will always make fun of us."

"It's ours now, and when the time comes, we'll have it. Your Majesty, your matchmaker is really suitable. This month's old red line, I'm afraid it's not as suitable as yours." Qin Wanyi said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing said with a smile: "I never thought that they hit each other so well. At first, I just thought that Lan Xin was alone, and Feng Yong should get married. If the two are suitable, we can just be a matchmaker."

"Unexpectedly, the emperor is so concerned about the lifelong affairs of the ministers, when will the emperor think about finding one for Mr. Fang?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing shook his head: "He's not in a hurry. When it comes time for the draft, if there is a suitable one, he will marry him immediately. Besides, he is so good, he is not afraid that he will not be able to find someone. Maybe he doesn't need my introduction, and we will get married at that time. Do you think that everyone is like you and never thinks about men and women? Do you still need me to worry about it?"
