When Qingxiang came to call Wansu, Wansu was sitting in the small tea room and talking to the little Delian who was serving in the tea room.
"Sister Wan Su, the Queen Mother invites you over."
Wansu stood up when he heard the words Queen Mother, nodded and agreed, "Thank you for running this trip yourself." She pointed to a copper pot on the stove and asked, "How is the tea here?"
Delian said: "Sister Wansu, it's all right, you can just mention it."
Wan Su wiped her hands, and a little court lady in front of him hurriedly went over to mention Wan Suti, and she urinated out of the tea room. Li Wei was not in Linglong Pavilion, nor in the study, nor in the side hall, nor in the warm pavilion. She went straight to the bedroom where Li Wei lived.
She took the copper pot from the little palace lady's hand and tiptoedly uncovered the curtain and went in, but saw Li Wei leaning on the foot to read a book, she walked over, burned the tea bowl on the table with boiling water, and gave it to Li again. Pour a cup of tea, and hold it forward: "Niangniang, you can try the new Mingqian tea this year."
Li Wei took the tea bowl and opened the lid to take a look. The tea soup was bi-ying and pretty, but she didn't drink it right away. She raised her eyelids and said, "There is an embroidered pier, sit down."
Wan Su became more and more anxious. The Queen Mother hardly wanted her to serve in front of her for a few days. Suddenly she was called here, and there was no one else in front of her. She felt a little uneasy in her heart. Serving the empress dowager over the years has no credit and hard work, what is she afraid of.
After Wan Su sat down, Li Wei closed the book, sat upright, and said to Wan Su: "The first emperor is gone, and the emperor is still young. Since last year, there have been constant famines and there have been many troubles in the border. The world is not peaceful. I asked the head of the Qin Tianjian, and he said that the grievances in the palace might be too great, so he brought the crime to the world. He suggested that I send a group of palace ladies home. I also thought about it carefully. I think this method is good. Our Chongqing Palace must first set an example in this matter."
Wan Su wondered, is the Queen Mother trying to drive her away? But why, when she was ten years old, she entered Shangshufu. Later, the wife sent her to the three girls at the beginning, and then followed into the palace. There were a total of four maids who entered the palace. Now she is the only one left. Down.
Wan Su suddenly understood, why the Queen Mother always distracted her these days, and why she has always been exceptionally indifferent to her recently. She knelt down in front of Li Wei with a puff, and pleaded bitterly: "The empress dowager, the maidservant is willing to serve you for life and doesn't want to go anywhere."
Li Wei personally helped her up in the past, took her hand and said, "You are my best maid. Thanks to you by my side over the years, but you are also 22 years old. How old can you be? Buried in the palace for the rest of your life. I hope you can live an ordinary life when you go out. Marry someone, have children, and live your own life."
Li Wei said it truthfully, but Wan Su shook his head in tears and said: "Please be kind to the empress dowager. The slave and maidservant want to serve you nowhere."
Li Wei sighed in embarrassment: "Good Wansu, I am the queen mother. Chongqing Palace must set an example first. Not only you, but we Chongqing Palace and other palace ladies will also be released. Many, need to be streamlined. I will give you a great reward and let you go back home. Don't you still have a brother, and your father, I will let people be properly placed, what can you worry about?"
"I..." Wan Su's eyes burst into tears, like a bank burst, and then he knelt down to Li Wei.
If we don't deal with Wansu, Li Wei is not at ease day and night. This reason is grand enough, and it won't make the enemy hiding in the dark suspicious.
In addition to Wan Su, Li Wei listed eight more names as the personnel who released the palace this time. Seeing the queen dowager in other palaces had already begun to act, they had to respond and cooperate with the queen dowager.
Ningkang Palace, Yongshou Palace, Yihe Hall and other places have also handed in their names. Li Wei said that he has given great rewards to these people who sent them out of the palace, and at the same time let their families be properly settled.
For this kind of grace, a lot of palace people from the palace came to Chongqing Palace to kowtow to Li Wei. Li Wei asked Qingxiang to bring in the black lacquer inlaid official leather suitcase from her warehouse.
After a while, Qingxiang brought in a small official suitcase, and Li Wei asked her to put the suitcase on the table, and Qingxiang handed over the key. Li Wei opened the lock himself, and there was a box full of jewelry, all of which were made or rewarded over the years, or gold and silver, or gems, or dots of emerald. There were hundreds of pieces in a box full of them. number. She stretched out her hand and took out a brocade box. Inside was a dotted phoenix with a golden pearl in the phoenix's mouth. The pearl was the size of a longan. It is this golden bead that is extraordinary. This was something that was bestowed by the first emperor, Li Wei worn it twice, and then put it down. Such a piece of jewellery is also worth a hundred dollars. It was so difficult when I was in Yongning, and I was worried about the registration fee of 100 yuan. If there is such a thing, I am afraid I can exchange the registration fee dozens of times.
She put the dotted phoenix down, and then took out a long box with a golden hairpin inlaid with precious stones inside. She put the box aside. I turned out a few pieces of jewellery at random, including tourmaline rings, mutton white jade bracelets, and red musk wrist beads. I made up twelve pieces in a hurry. Then he handed this bunch of things to Qingxiang, and told her: "Take these things to record, and I will give them all rewards. Let her go dignified."
Qingxiang agreed and let the maids on the left and right take all the things on the table.
Li Wei saw a big red brocade round box underneath. She picked up the round box, which contained a necklace of jewels. On the silver chain is a rose flower the size of a wine glass. The petals are all densely packed with scattered rubies. On the bottom of the rose flower there is a chain of several inches long. There is a nail-sized chain on the chain. Emerald. On both sides of the rose flower is a blossoming red lotus, and the petals are all made of small gems. Sparkling in the light of the light, just such a necklace is also a precious treasure.
Lan Hui came in and saw Li Weizheng holding this necklace. She came up with a smile and said, "The empress dowager, this is still something you and the regent reverent in that year. I have never seen you wear it before. It has been kept in this box. It is a pity Such a baby."
"It was given by the regent, are you sure?"
Lan Hui smiled and nodded and said, "The servant is sure, you can't be wrong. This necklace is special, and it is also a ruby and emerald. It is very precious, but it's a pity that the lady has never worn it."
She likes roses because the yard where she lives at home is full of roses, and the name of the yard is also related to this flower. He always knew that when she was only fifteen years old, he knew it.
