The 160th Queen Mother's Birthday (2)
Chen Guifei is currently the only concubine in the palace who has an imperial heir, is the best proof that Emperor Zhaoming is still majestic, she used to be a palace maid and learned a lot of means to please Emperor Zhaoming from Liu Guifei, so now Chen Guifei is the most popular concubine in the palace, she ridiculed Liu Guifei at this time, even if Liu Guifei was about to blow up her lungs, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, lest Chen Guifei give her eye medicine in front of Emperor Zhaoming, and ruin her plan to reset.
Liu Guifei can bear it, but Liu Hanyan can't bear it, speaking of which, Chen Guifei was still sent to the palace to serve in the Pingenhou Mansion that day, and her family is the domestic slave of the Pingenhou Mansion, and the body deed is firmly in the hands of Mrs. Pingenhou. So although Chen Guifei once flew on the branch and turned into a phoenix, in Liu Hanyan's eyes, she was just a slave who was pinched and rounded by herself.
"Niangniang is right, whose relatives are not intimate when they see each other, if they can't bring a maid to the palace, how can the little girl have to bring Cuiqiao into the palace to meet Niangniang today, it's a pity." Liu Hanyan said without smiling, the words were quite soft, but the meaning in them was very hard.
Chen Guifei's face sank, staring at Liu Hanyan's delicate and incomparable face, and her chest rose and fell violently. Others don't know, but she knows very well in her own heart that the Cui Qiao that Liu Hanyan said is no one else, it is her brother's daughter, the son of the Pingenhou Mansion, and the second-class maid next to Liu Hanyan.
Chen Guifei didn't want to seek benefits for her mother's family, but her mother's identity was too low, she or Ping Enhou deliberately took off her slave status and created the identity of a good family to enter the palace as an errand boy, if Emperor Zhaoming knew that she was not a good family, this noble concubine would be the end, Da Chen Lu clearly stated that a slave woman could not be a concubine, even if she was a woman who was a good citizen. Even if Emperor Zhaoming favored her, he didn't spoil her to the point where he could violate the law of Da Chen.
"You ......" Chen Guifei suffered a secret loss, she was really angry, but she couldn't say it, so she could only stare at Liu Hanyan. In the hall, except for Liu Guifei, Chen Guifei and Liu Hanyan, no one had anything to do, only curiously looking at the black-eyed chicken-like three people, each secretly speculating.
"The queen has a purpose, and all the women are lined up outside the palace......" A shrill cry broke the strange atmosphere in the hall, and everyone hurriedly walked out, so as not to suffer from the pond fish. Although Chen Guifei was extremely angry in her heart, she cared about the imperial heir in her womb, and waited until everyone walked out before she was supported by the palace maid and walked out slowly. She knew in her heart that her talent was not the best, and the imperial heir in her womb was all she hoped for, if there was anything wrong with the fetus, she would have no chance in her life.
It took Mo Yo a quarter of an hour for all the wives to rearrange the line, led by the Empress and Prince Le to the Empress Dowager at Yongfu Palace.
As soon as you enter the main hall of Yongfu Palace, a warm fragrant wind blows in your face, which makes people shiver, and the temperature inside and outside the room is really too big. The outside of the hall was cold and frozen, but the inside of the hall was as warm as spring.
The Queen Mother, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe and wearing a crown of seven dragons and nine phoenixes, sat on the throne, with a kind and peaceful smile on her face. Now the Taiping Dynasty and the Qingming Palace are also peaceful, and Emperor Zhaoming is not as exclusive to the Liu family as before, and her most beloved grandson is also expected to recover.
The queen led the women inside and outside to kneel three times and bow nine times to congratulate the court, and the queen mother accepted it happily and called out with a smile. Now it's time to enjoy the birthday gift. At this time, the queen mother appreciated the additional gifts given by the ladies of the various provinces, mostly for the needlework done by the young ladies themselves, and there were also handwritten calligraphy and paintings sent by the famous young lady, or the dim sum made by the young lady who was good at cooking. In fact, this is an opportunity for the unmarried ladies in various provinces to make an appearance, so that the wives of those families of appropriate age children and grandchildren can look at each other. Those ladies who already have a marriage contract can only send embroidery according to the rules, and they are no longer the focus of attention.
Of course, that was the situation of the Holy Birthday Festival in the past, but this year it was a little different, because everyone was speculating about what kind of birthday gift the mysterious Pingrong county lord and the future granddaughter-in-law of the Queen Mother would give to the Queen Mother.
The first birthday gifts are naturally the princesses in the palace. There has always been only the princess who picks the horse, and no in-law dares to pick the princess, so the princesses' birthday gifts are commented on by the queen mother, and the wives below will not have anything else to say except praise, even if the princess's needlework is not good, no one dares to tell the truth.
After the princess presented the gift, it was the turn of the county lord, as the county lord of Pingrong with a grade of real seal, Huangfu Yongning ranked first among the county lords, I saw her take the burden held by the palace maid, untied it and took out a cloak with white ground and gold spots, strode to the front of the steps, knelt down in the face of the queen mother, raised the cloak in his hand and said loudly: "The emperor Fu Yongning presents a clouded leopard cloak made by himself, and wishes the queen mother a long life." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she leaned forward and beckoned with a smile on her face: "Okay, good boy, take it up and let the mourning family take a good look." ”
Huangfu Yongning should claim that it is, walked up the steps with the clouded leopard cloak, came to the queen mother and knelt down on his knees, and held the cloak in front of the queen mother. The Queen Mother took the cloak, gently stroked the smooth and slippery fur, and couldn't help but sigh: "The clouded leopard skin in such good condition has not been seen by the mourning family for decades, this is an extremely rare snow gold!" Good boy, you really have a heart. Someone came, and the snow gold offered by the lord of Pingrong was circulated to everyone. ”
The two female officers should claim that it is, kneel down to take the clouded leopard cloak, unfold it in their hands, and walk down to invite the ladies and ladies to admire. I saw that the clouded leopard cloak was pure white as snow, sprinkled with gold spots, and the color of the fur was extremely smooth, and it looked like gold sprinkled on the snow.
The queen was naturally the first to appreciate it, she stepped forward to take a look, and said in an admiring tone: "It's really the queen mother's knowledge, and the daughter-in-law has never seen such a look."

My daughter-in-law has never seen a clouded leopard cloak of such a good quality, it is so beautiful! Brother and sister are really blessed! The last sentence was naturally said to Prince and Princess Le.
Prince Le and Princess Le replied with a smile: "This is all the grace of the queen mother, and the concubines have such blessings." Ning'er has been at the border for many years, and he hunted a clouded leopard with such fur, coinciding with the mother's holy life, the child made the skin with his own hands, and then made a cloak to offer his mother to show filial piety, the queen, you also know that Ning'er This child has been fighting since he was a child, and there is no opportunity to learn female workers, this cloak is still learned from his daughter-in-law, she has just begun to learn needlework, and you look back carefully, don't think this child's needlework is not good! ”
Huangfu Yongning's talent is to learn needlework, her craftsmanship is not good, and it is inevitable that she will be criticized when she turns back, so Prince Le and Princess Le will say this first, so as not to let someone pick on this matter. Prince and Concubine Le did not lie, this clouded leopard cloak was indeed a cloak made by Huangfu Yongning under the guidance of Prince and Princess Le, after spending more than a dozen skins.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately took the hand of Huangfu Yongning, who was standing beside her, and said with a smile: "Good boy, I am really embarrassed for you, your heart is received by the imperial grandmother, and there is no need to be like this in the future, good boy, you are a person who does great things, just know how to do needlework, our royal family is not short of needlework people." ”
The Queen Mother set the tone so bluntly, so that many of the young ladies below who had prepared embroidery work were not a taste in their hearts, the Queen Mother didn't say so a few years ago, how could it have changed when she arrived at the Pingrong County Lord. What is so good about this Pingrong County Lord, even the standards of her daughter's family can be changed when she comes here.
The ladies of the family looked at Huangfu Yongning, and there was some indescribable meaning in their eyes, but Huangfu Yongning didn't care at all, she stood straight beside the Queen Mother like a silver gun, her eyes were calm and calm, and she didn't show any restraint. Seeing that the county lord of Pingrong was so calm, even though many ladies were dissatisfied in their hearts, they couldn't help but secretly praise in their hearts, if someone else was put in such a position, I am afraid that they would not be able to be so calm.
After a pillar of incense, the two palace maids passed the clouded leopard cloak and sent it back to the Queen Mother, who appreciated it again and said with a smile: "Ning'er's needlework is still very good!" Good boy, just practice to this level. Someone came, carefully put away this collar of snow gold, and then wear it on the New Year's Day. ”
With Huangfu Yongning's snow gold cloak, the birthday gifts offered by other young ladies who are preparing for needlework are not much to see, although their embroidery is also very exquisite, but it is not more precious than this snow brocade cloak.
However, there was a young lady who offered a longevity peach that attracted everyone's attention. The young lady was holding a crystal plate that was the size of nine adult men's fists, looking extremely fresh and fragrant.
"Ah, this is a fresh peach!" Many people couldn't help but whisper. It's the middle of October, and all the leaves of the peach trees have withered, not to mention the fresh peaches.
"The little girl Xu Ziyan of Linyang Wangfu presented nine fresh peaches, wishing the Queen Mother a long life!" A slender and handsome girl knelt at the foot of the stairs, and her voice was very delicate.
"Linyang Palace? Xu Ziyan? Including the queen, all the women muttered to themselves, they knew about this Linyang Palace, but they really hadn't heard of this Xu Ziyan. This girl looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old, how come she has never seen or heard of it? Everyone set their eyes on Princess Linyang.
Princess Linyang hurriedly got out of class, knelt down to the Queen Mother and explained: "Empress Dowager, Ziyan is our prince's pearl in the sea, and she only found it back half a year ago. ”
