Shen He came to Lord Liu's house with embroidery, and the family already knew her, so they took her directly to the backyard hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Chongming looked at the ink paintings embroidered by Shen He, and his heart was also shocked, he really didn't expect this inconspicuous girl to be able to embroider such an embroidery, and hurriedly ordered someone to frame the embroidery on the screen shelf.

Looking at this screen, he only felt that the rocks and streams on it were like real scenes he had ever seen, and he was sure that no one in the capital could give such a congratulatory gift.

Walking out of Liu's mansion, Shen He's hand was holding a cloth bag that Liu Chongming had just given her, which contained an ingot of gold that the two had agreed on in advance.

A single ingot of gold is enough for her to live with Xiaocui and Ah Niu for a long time, but Shen Hezhi is not here, if she wants to achieve her goal, she can only wait a few days.

The queen's thousand autumn days have finally arrived, and on this day, the palace is full of lights and is very lively.

On this day, before dawn, a large number of civil and military officials in the court all put on formal clothes, entered the Chengtian Gate, passed through Shuangque to the Jiaotai Palace, waited in line, and bowed to the queen mother to congratulate.

I saw the queen wearing a red dress and a phoenix crown, sitting in the middle of the Jiaotai Palace.

The dress is the unusually gorgeous dress newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the phoenix crown on her head is also very beautiful.

I saw that there were nine golden phoenixes on the phoenix crown, and they were bordered with gold wire, and the phoenix eyes were embedded with agate, and the lower part of the phoenix crown had two rows of small circles centered on red and sapphire and surrounded by pearls. Behind the crest hangs six leaf-like ornaments, covered with pearls and precious stones. The emerald blue part of the crown is made of kingfisher feathers, which looks like it can dazzle people's eyes.

The first to congratulate the queen on her birthday were the princes, and then the courtiers.

The civil and military officials are arranged in two rows according to their rank and rank, with civil officials on one side, and Prime Minister Zuo Jing is the head of civil officials, standing in the front row. There are officials at all levels of the yamen of the six ministries respectively, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Dali Temple, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the Guozi Priest Wine.

On the other side is the military general, and the head of the military general is Lu Xun, the general of Jingbian. Counting down, it is the southern army guard captain Lie Yanhan, and the northern army captain is in charge of Jinwu's secluded world. After that, there are also the general soldiers, deputy general soldiers, and staff generals of the guards and divisions stationed in Beijing.

It's just the so-called Jingguan here. As for local officials, it's even more. The dynasty ruled over the ninety-nine states of the world, and each state had a state pastor. Below the state are counties, each with a county warden. Under the county guard, he is the county official. Although local officials could not leave their posts without permission, they also sent their deputies to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

Now, all the officials in the court stepped forward to congratulate in turn. The mouth has congratulated the queen on her thousand-year-old life, rich millennium and other congratulatory words.

So many representatives of officials, add up to at least thousands. If one by one kowtows to the queen alone, it will take several months just to receive them. So there is no way, those foreign officials, and the rank is relatively low, can only be filled with a hundred people, and then outside the Jiaotai Palace, kowtow to the queen mother.

But even if such a compromise method is adopted, half a day has passed after all the officials kowtow to celebrate their birthdays.

By the time all the rituals were completed, and the banquet was finally given, it was already getting dark.

At this banquet, the queen didn't want to be extravagant, so the people invited were all relatives of the emperor and a few close relatives of the queen's mother's family, and there were no outsiders.

In the Jiaotai Palace, the emperor sits in the center, and the queen sits on the right side of the emperor, and on the left side of the emperor is the princess who has always been favored.

Today, Wang Guifei is dressed in a garnet red palace dress, with a wide skirt behind her, elegant and luxurious, and she is not inferior to the queen's longevity dress. Look at the head again, the black jade-like green silk, simply a flying fairy bun, a delicate red peony flower obliquely inserted in the temples, and a few full and round pearls are embellished in the hair at will, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized. The eyebrows are frowning, the eyes are autumnal, the face is thin and the waist is slender, the beautiful eyes are full of color, and the red lips are filled with a charming smile, which makes people dare not look directly into her eyes.

I saw her sitting down on the seat, gestures, graceful and graceful like the wind caressing the willows, charming and boneless. Her limelight is overwhelming, and all the other concubines have been compared to her, no wonder she has won the favor of the saint for so many years, and has been prosperous among many concubines in the harem.

Further to the left is one of the two concubines in the palace second only to the queen, the biological mother of the eldest prince, Duan Guifei. Concubine Duan is more than forty years old this year, and she is simply dressed in a plain blue palace dress, with only a few tassels for embellishment. The hair is also tied up high, with a simple phoenix hairpin between the buns, and a little pink on the face.

Further down are Concubine Ning Xian, Concubine Rong, Concubine Jin and other concubines. Each concubine is also fat, thin, and has a beautiful face, each with its own merits.

Further down are the seats of the imperial uncle and the princes.

Sitting in the middle of this seat is none other than the Three Emperors' Uncle Xiao Pang. This Uncle of the Three Emperors, who never asks about political affairs on weekdays, loves to drink and have fun, lingers in the music shop and wine lane, and he is obese, so the people call him "Uncle Fat".

However, thanks to his casual and free temperament, he was unscathed in the prince's succession, and now he and the emperor are the only two members of the royal family in his generation.

On his left is the eldest prince Xiao Yi, who is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, has a good appearance, and is a talent, but he has been committed to compiling the history of the country, and he is not concerned about the affairs of the court, and the emperor does not value him.

Further down is the third prince Zixian Prince Xiao frame, he was already the prince of Qizhu at a young age, and he was valued by the emperor, many important affairs would be handed over to him to deal with, and his reputation among the ministers of the court was also very good, everyone knew that he was a courteous corporal, humble and courteous, so he was also the best choice for the crown prince.

Sitting beside the third prince was a young man in red clothes with a handsome face, a calm bearing, and eyes as sharp as a sword. He is the fourth prince, Xiao Yu, the prince of the sword. Because of his calm personality and iron-faced selflessness, he is also in charge of the Zongren Mansion and is responsible for handling various affairs of the royal family.

Next to the four princes is the tenth prince, Prince Cai Xiao Chen. Although he is not good-looking, at least a quarter of the property in the capital is related to him. His dart bureau, business name, silver number, ship number and other businesses have been done all over the Southern Chu Kingdom. True to its name, rich and rivaling the country.

At the very edge of this table, sitting was a young man with a heroic appearance and a dignified appearance, he was the second prince who was far away from the border and came back to celebrate the queen's birthday, Xiao Che.

Speaking of this Xiao Che, he is the least loved by the emperor among the princes.

The atmosphere of this dynasty is to worship literature and abandon martial arts, because of the emperor's love for calligraphy and painting, the ministers of the court are also vying to follow suit, all of them are proud of dancing and writing, calligraphy and painting proficient, but the second prince has not been by the emperor's side since he was young, and later guarded the border all the year round, and practiced a martial arts skills and bearing, which looks completely different from the men in the capital, plus his biological mother is an unfavored concubine, so the emperor ignores him all the year round, even if he enters Beijing to celebrate the queen's mother, the emperor has not looked at him more.

Now, he sat in the prince's seat, obviously out of place with the other princes, but he didn't seem to care, he was complacent, and smiled faintly at the next person at the table.

The man at the table also smiled at him in return, this person was Lu Yu who had returned to the capital from Yong'an City. (To be continued.) )
