Chapter 53 Continual Rewards

Jiang Zuiyao slept so deeply that night that she was too lazy to get up in the morning. Linghui urged her many times and walked into the inner room again and said: "Madam, if you don't get up again, the food will be cold.

"

Jiang Zuiyao lazily sat up and lifted up the bed curtain. The sun was bright and dazzling. It was indeed getting late.

When I walked out of the outhouse, I saw sweet and sour crispy fish, golden bean pork ribs soup, lettuce and shrimp, steamed milk tofu...

The table was full of rich dishes. When she walked over and sat down, Jiang Zuiyao asked, "How can I eat so many dishes?"

Linghui replied: "Madam found out that you were pregnant, and she was very happy. She started busy in the kitchen early in the morning. The servant also said that there were too many dishes for you to finish, but Madam said it doesn't matter if you can't finish them. You

Just pick what you like to eat.”

Ever since Mrs. Feng gave birth to Shao Heng, a concubine for the Shao family, Mrs. Jiang had become very jealous. Now that she knew Jiang Zuiyao was pregnant, she was filled with joy.

Jiang Zuiyao picked up the porridge bowl. She didn't want to eat greasy food in the morning, so she only ate something light.

After filling her stomach, she returned to the back room and sat in front of the dressing table. Only then did she realize that the bruises on her neck from being pinched by Shao Ziqing had dissipated, but she was still a little thin. As a doctor, she knew very well that if she wanted to give birth to a baby

For a healthy child, the most important thing right now is to replenish his body.

Seeing that the sky was getting warmer day by day, I had been in a coma for more than twenty days. It was already the beginning of spring. After I put on my clothes, I heard a noise outside. Linghui shouted: "Don't worry, big brother."

The young lady is changing her clothes, how dare you barge in like this, it is really unruly."

Then I heard a woman reply, her voice filled with joy: "Hey, Linghui, look at what good things Madam has sent to the East Courtyard. I was so happy that I forgot about it."

Jiang Zuiyao asked curiously: "Linghui, what's wrong?"

Linghui shouted in the yard: "Young Madam, spring has just passed, and Madam sent someone to deliver seasonal items."

"Send the things in." Jiang Zuiyao replied while walking out.

When they arrived at the outhouse, they saw a dozen servants bringing things into the house, one after another, until the table could no longer be placed and then placed on the soft couch. After a while, the entire outhouse was almost full.

At a glance, they are all good things: golden bird's nests, Tianshan red ginseng, silk satin skirts, gold and silver jewelry...there are countless of them.

The old woman who brought the people came forward and said with a smile: "Madam was afraid that the things she bought for you would not be complete, so she asked her servant to bring you five hundred taels of silver. She said that if you were short of anything, she would send someone to buy it herself."

Jiang Zuiyao knew very well that this unprecedented warmth and compassion was only because of the Queen Mother's instructions yesterday and the piece of meat in her belly.

After taking the banknote from the old woman's hand, Jiang Zuiyao casually picked up a box of tea and handed it to her, saying, "If you'd like, please run over. Please keep this tea while you lead the servants to have a sip of tea and have a rest."

That was the extremely precious Junshan Silver Needle. I drank it closely with the master on weekdays. The servants had never seen it before. The old woman thanked her and left happily with the servants.

Jiang Zuiyao then asked Linghui to take the things to the warehouse. While Linghui called for people to move the things, she sighed: "Mrs. Tianshan Red Ginseng is reluctant to use it herself, but she actually brought it to you."

Jiang Zuiyao knew that the Shao family was doing this for the Empress Dowager, so she couldn't think of answering the conversation, so she got up and went into the back room.

Unexpectedly, before my butt was warm, an unfamiliar servant walked in and said, "Madam, please go to the front hall quickly."

Jiang Zuiyao asked: "What's wrong?"

The servant replied: "Someone is coming from the palace."

Jiang Zuiyao murmured a little in her heart, but she also guessed that it must be related to the Queen Mother, so she got up and headed towards the front hall.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Shao Jiang chatting lively with Eunuch Cui. Jiang Zuiyao had just passed a few steps when Jiang, who was idle beside him, said: "Zui Yao, you are here, don't keep Eunuch Cui waiting."

."

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the people in front of the front hall. There were a lot of eunuchs and maids standing there. All of them had empty hands. They were holding trays. The trays were covered with red cloth, and they didn't know what was inside.

Seeing this, Jiang Zuiyao asked curiously: "Eunuch Cui, I wonder why you came to see me?"

Eunuch Cui replied with a smile on his face: "Of course it is a good thing, madam, you are very lucky!"

Blessing? What blessing?

Jiang Zuiyao never thought that the Queen Mother would bring her any blessings.

Eunuch Cui stood solemnly in front of the crowd, took out a golden imperial edict, cleared his throat, and shouted: "The eldest young lady of Shaofu, Mrs. Jiang, accepts the edict."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Shao family, including the master and his servants, knelt on the ground with cheers. Jiang Zuiyao looked at the formation and knelt down too.

"It is the destiny of Heaven and the Queen Mother's decree. The daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Mrs. Jiang Zuiyao of the Shao Mansion, is of the Jiang family. She is of a careful nature, diligent and submissive, Yonghe is pure, and has a gentle nature. This is an example for women in the capital, and she is deeply saddened."

The family is so happy that she is pregnant, and I miss her so much that I live in the palace, so I gave her a pair of soft gold and silk pillows..."

As soon as he blurted out the reward, he looked at a palace maid behind him walking out of the crowd with a red cloth tray and placing it in the front hall in a neat manner.

"A set of eight treasures of golden silk and Ruyi jewelry, a piece of water mist satin silk, a set of eight precious corals, a thousand-year-old sea night pearl, a box of dragon vein tire repair products, a box of deer fetal treasure spirit supplements, Laoshan water lotus

Two kilograms of dates, three boxes of southern hedgehog nourishing soup, eight taels of heavenly pulp and sacred grass..."

Eunuch Cui continued to recite, and every time he recited something, a palace maid or eunuch would bring the object into the front hall. The Queen Mother rewarded her with so many objects that she couldn't even listen to them. It wasn't until Jiang Zuiyao's knees were a little sore that Eunuch Cui finally

After pronouncing the words "I admire this", I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Later, Eunuch Cui smiled and said to Jiang Zuiyao: "Madam, please accept the order."

Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Kowtow to the Queen Mother for her holy grace. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

Taking the Yi Zhi from Eunuch Cui's hand, Eunuch Cui quickly helped Jiang Zuiyao up and said: "Madam, your body is precious, please get up quickly."

Jiang Zuiyao stood up and looked back at the front hall, which was brightly red with the red cloth of the tray. She accidentally saw Jiang's face and was extremely surprised.

Jiang Zuiyao turned her head and said to Eunuch Cui: "Eunuch Cui, you are such a good person, why did the Queen Mother reward me with so many things?"

Eunuch Cui still smiled happily: "Of course the Queen Mother loves you very much. Even if the empress in the palace is happy, she will never reward you so generously!"

This made Jiang Zuiyao even more puzzled: "Eunuch Cui, I am just a woman. I am really flattered by what the Queen Mother did."
