When Wanxi heard this, she hurriedly stopped her, "Oh, don't even slander those grapes!"

People in the world only know that lychees are expensive, but they don’t know that the grapes are precious at all.

The Western Regions are located in the capital and Lingnan, and the distance between the two is almost the same. From Lingnan to the capital, there are canals available, so you can use ships to carry them. Moreover, the way from Lingnan to the capital is always within the traditional territory of the court, and everything goes smoothly on the way.

However, when we come to the Western Regions, we have to take more land routes. There are deserts and Gobi on the way, which are quite difficult. Even if there are Yellow River waterways available, it is not as stable and developed as the Jiangnan waterways.

Moreover, since the Qing Dynasty's Dingding Ding, the Western Regions have been under the control of the Junggar, Hui tribe and others, and the official post stations are often blocked; and there are many obstacles on the roads for merchants to go shopping, and some may even be at risk of life.

Therefore, based on the cost of transportation, the cost of transporting grapes from the Western Regions to the capital will only be higher than that of Lingnan lychees.

Wanxi also asked the inner stewards and Tingcha Sula, who had heard that they had said the price of selling Western Region grapes in the market outside the palace. It is said that a pound of Western Region grapes would cost one tael of five to two taels of silver; and the market price of a sheep at that time was only one tael of silver.

In other words, the price of a pound of Western Regions grapes is even more expensive than that of a sheep.

If the annual silver for the heads of the inner court is converted, it is like a noble person. The annual silver is only 100 taels, and the average monthly silver is less than ten taels. The monthly silver for a noble person can only buy less than five kilograms of grapes.

What's more, grapes are not only a fruit for noble people, but also a memory of their hometown, so the grapes in her palace are even more priceless. Therefore, Wanxi really couldn't bear to ask Jiujiu to swallow them whole.

But he laughed at the noble man, "Please rest assured that the concubine is the concubine. I was talking about raisins, and I brought a lot of them to the palace. As long as the ninth princess likes to eat, there is nothing to do with it."

Jiujiu followed him back to Yikun Palace with the nobles.

After all, the Yikun Palace was the Nara family's palace, and Wanxi was a little worried. Yurui followed him in person, saying that he was teaching the Ninth Princess' etiquette so as not to lose the rules in front of the queen's master.

He also smiled and nodded, "Don't worry about the concubine. I brought the Ninth Princess with me, and everything is my own. Don't look at me being punished by her on weekdays and not resisting; but if she wants to treat the Ninth Princess, I will definitely not tolerate her!"

Wanxi nodded with a smile and gently pressed the nobleman's arm, "Then, I will take care of everything with you."

This was the first time that Princess Ninth Princess had become so close to her, but the Ninth Princess liked and relied on her, which was not the first time. Along the way, Princess Ninth Princess refused to call Yu Rui to hug her, but instead reached out to reach her with her.

With the noble man, he was so soft that he could even twist the water, so he held the Ninth Princess all the way and refused to let go.

Jiujiu refused to admit his life and was hugged by He Guiren. He naturally stretched out his arms to hook He Guiren's neck, and put a small head on He Guiren's neck.

After all, he is such a girl from a different race. After entering the palace for a few months, he was a little cold with everyone in the harem, and even Yu Rui felt a little distance from him. Therefore, when Yu Rui saw that the Ninth Princess was like this, he couldn't help but feel a little inappropriate. He smiled and said with a smile, "I am really tired and noble today. The Ninth Princess will only have two birthdays next month. Even if he can walk now, he still likes to ask people to hug him."

Yu Rui tried to reach out and said, "If you are tired of being with the noble, you will give it to your concubine."

But he hugged the Ninth Princess tighter and shook his head tightly, "No. I like to hug her."

She looked back at Yu Rui and said embarrassedly, "After all, Yongshou Palace and Yikun Palace are next to each other, how many steps are there in total? Besides, how heavy can the Ninth Princess be so small?"

With these eyes passed, Yu Rui saw the slight water and gentleness in the eyes of the noble man.

Yu Rui drew a little soul in his heart and then smiled.

Yes, I am still old after all. At this time, I have no children, and even when I see other people's children, it is so painful, I naturally hug them tightly, and I can't bear to let go.

Yu Rui talked to the Ninth Princess: "My good princess is so rare that she can hold her. At least you don't forcefully tie her neck, and I won't rob her."

I was so happy with the nobles.

Yu Rui sighed and looked up at Tian'er, "It's already summer. You are strangling your empress's neck so much, how can you take a breath with the empress?"

The nobleman was wearing the big white robe from the head to the toe. The robe was covered with no collar or breath, and it was just ventilated by the collar. It was so good now that the whole 9th princess was asked to "tie the mouth" with two small fleshy arms. Isn't this suffocating?

He would also like the nobles, so he blinked at Yu Rui gently, "I just touched my robe by the noble concubine, and then told me that it turned out that this was called 'white silk' and was produced in Jiangnan. The emperor gave us the fabric table on the Dragon Boat Festival on the garden, and this one was given to me. The fabric holes were clear and it was actually very breathable when worn on the body."

Yu Rui also understood that after all, Wanxi's brother Dexin was originally a official in Jiangnan Weaving, and now he is in charge of the satin warehouse in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After Dexin's guidance over the years, Wanxi could recognize all the fabrics that were tributed by Jiangnan Weaving after taking a closer look.

Yu Rui smiled and said, "I heard that the name of white silk produced in Jiangnan has been a tribute as far away as the Tang Dynasty. Now I can see the real thing. It is indeed plain but not light, light and bright like clouds and moonlight. The most in line with the noble man's style is the only one of the emperor's wishes."

He blushed with the noble man, coughed lightly, and turned around and continued to say that Princess Ninth is going.

"There is a reason why the Ninth Princess must be lying on my neck. After all, my body is wrapped too tightly, and only between my neck can the fragrance of my body be revealed. This child loves the fragrance, so she is so intimate."

Yu Rui also smiled and said, "I think it's more intimate to the Ninth Princess with the nobles. As the nobles said just now, since the white silk is clear in the eyelets, if the Ninth Princess is just to smell the fragrance, she naturally doesn't have to have a collar."

The tenderness in the eyes of the noble man became softer, "That's right. After all, it's my relationship with this child."

After holding the Ninth Princess with the nobleman, he walked a few more steps, but sighed softly, "The Ninth Princess loves to smell the fragrance so much, because Concubine Ling grew up in the flower fields since childhood. If so, my relationship with Concubine Ninth Princess still started from Concubine Ling; it was the origin of my relationship with Concubine Ling."

After hearing what he said to the noble man, Yu Rui's heart fell steadily.

In Yikun Palace, although he and the nobles were unwilling to do so, Yu Rui persuaded them to take the Ninth Princess to pay tribute to the Nara family, and then waited for the Nara family to retreat, and then retreated to the side hall where they lived.

After all, the Ninth Princess was still young and smiled sweetly when she saw anyone. Even though Nara was full of "emperor's mother", Nara's heart couldn't be hardened. In the end, because the Ninth Princess liked to smell the fragrance the most, Nara personally grabbed the best-looking bergamot in the hall and gave it to the Ninth Princess to carry it and play with it.

The Ninth Princess was so fond of that bergamot. She held it and didn't let go, but she also used her little hands to compare the bergamot, "like my hand."

Nara even smiled helplessly, "Well, no, it's round and fat, and you're all fat under your fingers!"

The Ninth Princess didn't understand her intentions, so she hurried to search for the "little pit" on the orange.

However, Nara looked back inadvertently, saw his warm smile reflected in the mirror, and frowned and quickly closed it.

Then he sighed, "But, to talk about the one that looks the most like this bergamot, it must be your fourth sister's hand."

The Ninth Princess was young and went to the palace with the nobleman late. She didn't know much about the Fourth Princess's hand. However, Yu Rui was slightly shocked when he heard it. Then he hurriedly hugged the Ninth Princess and sued the Nara for the Ninth Princess.

He Guiren also realized that something was wrong and also gave up.

Nara did not keep it for a long time, and waited for two big and one small to walk down the platform of the back hall. Nara walked to the window and squinted her eyes and looked at their backs.

"I didn't expect that since I entered the palace, this nobleman had been stumbled with me every day and was playing tricks on me. I was punished to kneel and banned from eating. But I didn't expect that she and Yongshou Palace had a relationship again."

"How could it be so coincidental? Anyone who is not good to me is good to her. Are these people looking for a supporter themselves, or is the Yongshou Palace deliberately trying to win over me, just to fight me?"

Tana couldn't help but frown, "Fortunately, this is just a noble person now. Besides, it's almost half a year since she entered the palace, and the emperor hasn't turned over her sign yet. If this is the case, she can't make any moves in this harem with the noble person."

Nara snorted lightly, "Of course, the emperor would not turn over her brand, or even, I am afraid that even her green-headed brand had not been made!"

"Didn't you see, what age did she have when she entered the palace? She was like the second concubine Yu. With her age, I'm afraid she's the same as Prince Yu, and she's also married."

"The emperor accepted a concubine Yu, but his appetite was gone; how could he accept another married woman?"

Nara said, her eyes turned slightly, "What's more, the other person, Yupin is a Mongolian prince or a descendant of Genghis Khan, and her family is not a sinner. Even if the emperor gave birth to a prince with Yupin with half of the Borjijit family, they were in line with the rules of marriage between Manchuria and Mongolia. But as for the nobleman, she is the daughter of the Hezhuo family, and the girl of the same clan of Hezhuo!"

"Would the Emperor ask her to give birth to a prince with half of blood and blood and with the Zhuo family? That's a big joke!"

Tana lowered her head, but she still felt a little unsupported. "But looking at the emperor's attitude towards noble people, she gave many rewards, because she was afraid that the emperor would not care about the noble people's background and age?"

Nara sneered, "Do you want to make a bet? Then look at this and the nobleman cannot meet Xi Yupin at least have conceived a child for the emperor; since this and the nobleman are so favored, it must be the constant children."

"Don't say that she is older, she is several years younger than Concubine Ling. If Concubine Ling is thirty-four years old and can still be one child a year, then the foundation of the noble person's body will only be better and will definitely be born."

After saying that, Nara chuckled, turned around and walked back to the warm pavilion.

Now that I came to report outside, saying that Xin and Princess Xin were waiting outside the door and came to pay tribute to the queen.

Nara raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Tana.

Tana also hurried to the eunuch who was replying and whispered, "Why did you go outside the door before you talk back and forth? What did you do before?"

The eunuch quickly bowed and said with a look of embarrassment, "In fact, when I first entered the palace gate, I wanted to come in and talk. But as soon as I arrived outside the gate, I looked at my master from afar, I saw that my master was talking to my aunt."

"After all I have been serving in the palace of my master for many years. I still have this hint of sight. Naturally, I know that what the master and the girl said are all things that I am inconvenient to come in and disturb me. I didn't dare to come in now."

"After the master finished talking to the girl, the master Xin could not stop him anymore, and he had already reached outside the door."

Tana couldn't help but frown, "Then she is too unruly. Where is this? This is the queen's palace, can she keep breaking in?"

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Oh, who said it was not! But after all, she was the concubine's master. She put down the Eighth Princess and asked the Eighth Princess to run all the way in. She followed her and ran in. My aunt said, "Who dares to stop the Eighth Princess or intercept her if we are slaves like this?"

Tana sighed, "Forget it, you're here. I'll talk to you with my master."

At midsummer, there were curtains hanging on the door, and there were also transparent bamboo curtains. When Tana talked to the eunuch, Nara had already raised her eyes through the bamboo curtain and saw Xinpin who was near the door.

Tana walked back to Nara, leaned in Nara's ear, and replied to the eunuch's words that had just been replied to.

"I don't know what she wanted to do if she deliberately ran in with the Eighth Princess."

Nara snorted softly, "That's a coincidence. As soon as Concubine Ling's ninth princess came, her eighth princess's hind legs arrived. I thought it was interesting to be such a coincidence."

Nara said, raising her eyebrows slightly, raised her eyes and stared at Xinpin through the bamboo curtain, sneered quietly, slowly sat up straight, raised her jaw high, and looked at the mother and daughter outside.

"Since you've all come, call me in."

Xinpin laughed humbly, came in and hurriedly squatted to pay his respects, "I deserve to die. I accidentally heard the words of my master and I even asked her to punish me."

Nara frowned, "It doesn't matter if you hear it, I don't have anything to be heard here. But I don't rub the sand in my eyes, and I'm most tired of those who are gossiping behind my back! If I ask me to catch it, I don't have to keep my tongue."

Xinpin hurriedly hugged the Eighth Princess and knelt down again, "After all, I'm left with only the Eighth Princess, one child, and I have nowhere to rely on in this harem. It's too late to beg for the Master's Empress to protect me. I swear to serve the Master's Empress wholeheartedly, but I'm not enough. How dare I pass on half of the words that Master's Empress said?"

"If I hadn't been willing to be ignorant of my master, I wouldn't have spoken out just now; I just pretended not to hear anything, so why bother to report to my master in person, and make my master dislike it?"

Nara snorted softly, "Get up. Now you are a mother. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about Shunying. What do you think?"

Only then did Xinpin tremble slightly and quickly stood up.

Dege brought a chair, but Xinpin didn't dare to sit and would rather continue standing.

Nara lowered her head and blew leisurely in the tea cup, and the tea leaves floating on the water. "Since you heard it, why do you think?"

Xinpin said respectfully, "I have also seen the night when I saw the noble concubine Chunhui's head night, and I was unfair to the noble lady. This is the noble lady in the palace of the great lady, so I dared to do this. From this we can see that this is a thorny head, and it will cost the great lady's heart."

Xinpin slowly turned his head and looked out the window.

"Now in the midsummer, there is a lot of sunshine and rain, so the trees in this garden have forgotten the rules and started to grow freely. Look, there are really many branches that escape, disturbing people's eyes."

Nara raised her eyebrows, "That's right? The sun and rain should be evenly matched. How can one and two of them be given alone? If the rules are confused and those who should not grow up wildly will all be confused and will be free, then what is the difference between this garden and the wild woods?"

Xinpin nodded with a smile, "So, there must be a good housekeeper in any garden. He holds iron scissors in his hand and often patrolls. Seeing the signs of branches escaping, he would have to fold it with a click. If so, the garden is the rule and the same degree."
