Chapter 706: See the Emperor
Finally entered the palace, the sedan chair still went inside, Huang Xiaoxian once again wanted to open and see the world in the palace, but the outside had been sealed to death, Huang Xiaoxian had no choice but to stop.
Finally able to get off the sedan chair, Huang Xiaoxian found that Aunt Jiu was wearing a green cotton coat with a fur collar, and when she came down, she held the hem with both hands, while Huang Xiaoxian was much lighter in dressing, and she didn't feel so cold.
When they got off the sedan chair, they were not far from a palace, Huang Xiaoxian reluctantly looked at the palace she was thinking about, only to see the red walls and green tiles, the eunuchs and palace people who were walking in a hurry, they all lowered their heads and walked quickly, as if they were busy with things, and the palace at this time was already a bleak scene.
Huang Xiaoxian noticed that most of the girls walking were about her age, wearing silk clothes and combing their hair in the same bun.
Huang Xiaoxian thought that the palace was a big garden, and the emperor planted the beautiful and intelligent little girls here at will, and they might be able to blossom and bear fruit, or they might become remnants of flowers and willows.
Those ladies and concubines are fine, but what about those unknown palace maids? It's not as good as a piece of grass, and their lives will fall with the wind at any time.
Huang Xiaoxian held the Ninth Young Master in his hand, waiting in a room that was not too big, the way Huang Xiaoxian looked around just now made the old man very angry, at this time, he glared at Huang Xiaoxian fiercely, which meant that she should not be looking around.
Huang Xiaoxian restrained his gaze, knowing that they were about to be summoned to the palace.
The palace was very spacious, the lord greeted his colleagues around him, and a person like a eunuch led them to the Bai family's table, and Huang Xiaoxian's mood calmed down at this time.
There were too many people, and there were many flowers, even the princes and ministers were wearing bright clothes.
Huang Xiaoxian sat in his seat and knew what it meant to be splendid. The palace was full of gold, red, and vivid yellow, and the house formed a cloister, surrounded on three sides by a raised platform, and needless to say, this was the position of the emperor.
At this time, no one appeared in the main seat, but Huang Xiaoxian and their table had already set up fruit and wine.
Huang Xiaoxian found that Aunt Jiu was also looking around at this time, she was looking for her daughter.
The sound of drums sounded, and everyone stood up, and it should be the queen mother and the emperor walking in front, and six or seven beautiful women appeared behind the emperor.
Aunt Jiu's eyes were straight, and Huang Xiaoxian felt that she was too far away and couldn't see their faces at all.
The drums stopped, and the eunuch shouted: Silence.
Sure enough, the hall was silent without a sound.
A eunuch walked to the middle, although his voice was sharp, but it was extremely loud, but Huang Xiaoxian didn't understand what he meant, to the effect that it was time to give gifts.
The first to step forward was the prime minister, who gave a lady made of gold, and the lady danced as if it were true, especially the hem of the lady's skirt, as if it were stirring in the wind.
Every time the emperor celebrates his birthday, he will emphasize that he should be attentive and don't be extravagant and wasteful, one year, the gift given by a person was too heavy, but it made people impeached, and since then it has been sluggish, so gift-giving is the most brain-consuming time for everyone.
Finally it was the turn of the Bai family, he took out his jade chess, which immediately attracted the emperor's attention, and the emperor only nodded symbolically for the first few gifts.
The emperor glanced at it, raised his thumb and said, "This is good, I like it." ”
Huang Xiaoxian was a little interested at first, and then he got annoyed, and the young master had already eaten a lot of fruits and pastries on the plate, and other people's plates didn't move at all, but who could blame people like them?
Then the dishes came up, and Huang Xiaoxian found that the dishes in the palace were similar to those of the Bai family, but they were more refined.
Then the song and dance came up, and the emperor began to toast each other with his mother and the women around him.
After the song and dance came to an end, the emperor suddenly asked with great interest: "Who is the young grandmother of Baifu, who is the yellow ...... that invented many benefits to my Qian Dynasty."
The emperor really couldn't remember what it was called, and the eunuch next to him repeated it loudly.
Huang Xiaoxian was looking down to taste the delicacies in the palace, the first time the master heard it, and gestured to her with his eyes, Huang Xiaoxian accidentally saw the master's gaze, and thought, where did I offend you?
When he called her again for the second time, the old man replied loudly: "Your Majesty, here." ”
He had to poke Huang Xiaoxian with his hand.
Huang Xiaoxian finally understood, quickly stood up, and said with a deep salute: "The little woman Huang Xiaoxiao respects the emperor as blessed as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan. ”
"Get closer. The emperor said.
Huang Xiaoxian quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then got up and walked towards the center.
Huang Xiaoxian lowered his head and beat a drum in his heart, he was really afraid that if he was not happy that he would eat, the guy who ate by himself would be gone.
"Look up. The emperor said in a nice magnetic baritone.
Huang Xiaoxian raised his head, but he still didn't dare to look at the emperor's gaze.
"Oh, how did you come up with all those strange things when you're so young?"
"Back to the emperor, the little woman met a master on the mountain a long time ago, and he often pointed out one or two. ”
"Really, who is it?" asked the emperor with interest.
Huang Xiaoxian had a chance to look up at this time, and saw a young man, extremely dazzling in the golden splendor, and the women around him were all glamorous, and they were all looking at him curiously.
The man looked down from above, and Huang Xiaoxian just met his gaze, and Huang Xiaoxian felt that there was childlike curiosity in his eyes.
So he turned his eyes away and said, "Because I was still young that year, I can't remember who it was." ”
She made this up casually, so of course she can't remember it.
"What else can be done?" asked the emperor.
Huang Xiaoxian said: "This is a definite number, I will make one when I think of one in my mind now, I don't know if I can remember it in the future." ”
"If you make anything new, you must tell me. ”
Huang Xiaoxian nodded.
The emperor asked with great interest: "Oh, you came to celebrate my birthday today, it's not just a slogan, right?"
Huang Xiaoxian smiled, she immediately nodded and said, "Of course not, I brought a gift to the emperor." ”
"Oh......"
Huang Xiaoxian turned his head and pointed, signaling that he wanted to go back and get it, and the emperor ordered someone to go over and get it.
Huang Xiaoxian told the man that it was in the clothes he was wearing.
The emperor stared, wanting to see what the hell was good.
After a while, the eunuch took the things, which were five delicate small boxes, and when they were handed to the emperor, the emperor opened them with his own hands, only to see that there were grids in the boxes, and there were various color blocks in each grid.
