In the following trip, Hajlan worked overtime day and night to make birthday gifts for the Queen Mother, mainly because less than a month later it was the third day of October, the birthday of the Queen Mother. [Sui_Dream] novel www.suimеng.lā

Of course, the rites in Qi Shifu can't just be the one Hajlan is doing now, the Queen Mother's birthday this year will be outside, and everyone knows it before she goes on patrol, so before Hajilan leaves, Nalan has already prepared a gift for her to take with her, of course, those are just delicate things that express their hearts, and the prescribed birthday gifts Qi Shi is still offered with the gifts of other courtiers, as for Hajilan's current hand-made this, it is more to express his heart.

Since it is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, of course Hajilan can't do it in front of the Queen Mother, but Kangxi will take her with her this time, in order to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom, and there is really not much leisure time left for her, so Hajilan can only stay up late. The Queen Mother saw that her eyes were red and her face was tired, and she asked her the reason but didn't say it, she actually already knew it in her heart, so she deliberately recruited other concubines to take her place, so that Hajlan had more time for birthday gifts.

When Kangxi and his entourage came to the place of Kulenabira. There is only one day left before the Queen Mother's birthday, and Hajran's gift is just ready.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Kangxi led the princes, officials and guards who followed him, and came to the Queen Mother's palace to salute, and enshrined the Queen Mother's mountain as Shoushan.

Although there is no banquet to eat, but everyone should still give gifts, of course, the first one is Kangxi's gift, and then read the gift list sent by the prince, and then it is the ceremony of the accompanying concubines, Concubine Rong In addition to the usual ceremony, Concubine Rong also prepared a statue of Guanyin that the monk had opened the light, and the Queen Mother accepted it with a smile.

Then it was time for Concubine Yi to offer a gift, she stood up and saluted the Queen Mother and Kangxi, and said with a smile, "The concubine's gift is handed over to Yinyu, and I also ask the Queen Mother and the emperor to allow him to bring it in." ”

"It seems that there are a lot of people who want to surprise me," the Queen Mother looked at the Tenth Elder Brother below, and nodded to the Ninth Elder Brother with a smile, "Okay, then you can go." ”

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty," Concubine Yi said to the Queen Mother and Kangxi with a smile when Brother Jiu went to get the gifts, "The concubine remembers that Liu Yuxi has a poem, well, 'The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate.'" Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Doesn't this mean that only peonies coincide with the Queen Mother's birthday? ”

"Yes," the Queen Mother nodded, and asked Concubine Yi with a smile, "What the hell are you going to do?" ”

"Queen Mother," Concubine Yi said with a smile, "Before the gift is presented, the concubine will tell you the last paragraph." ”

"You have a lot of business," the Queen Mother nodded with a smile, "Okay, you can say it." ”

"Then the concubine said," Concubine Yi first saluted the Queen Mother and Kangxi before she began to say, "It is said that when Wu Zetian was called the emperor, one day in the lunar month of one year, she and Princess Taiping drank and enjoyed the snow in the warm pavilion together, and suddenly felt a burst of fragrance, but it turned out that there were plum blossoms blooming. Wu Zetian was very happy, so he ordered to go to Qunfang Garden and Shanglin Garden to enjoy the flowers. But when they came to Qunfangpu, they saw that in addition to Lamei, Narcissus, Tianzhu, and Yingchun, there were all withered branches. ”

"Then Wu Zetian ordered a hundred flowers to bloom." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I've heard this story. ”

"Yes," Concubine Yi continued to say with a smile, "Wu Zetian felt that he was the emperor, and if he wanted to see the flowers, the flowers would naturally be released, so he wrote a quatrain, 'The Ming Dynasty is fortunate to go to the garden, and the spring will be known quickly.'" The flowers are haired overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow'. After writing, it was handed over to the eunuch to take to Shanglin Yuan to hang it to report to the god of flowers. In the morning of the next day, sure enough, the two places of Qunfangpu and Shanglin Yuan were full of flowers, but not all the flowers obeyed the order, and the peony that was loved by Wu Zetian was not a single flower, which caused Wu Zetian to be furious, uprooted the peony, burned it immediately, and ordered the four thousand peonies to be degraded to Luoyang. ”

"Today," Concubine Yi saw that Brother Jiu had already come in with someone carrying things, and pointed with her hand with a smile, "The peony that Wu Zetian ordered was resolutely not opened, but it was already in full bloom on the Queen Mother's birthday." ”

Everyone looked in the direction that Concubine Yi pointed, Brother Jiu made a gesture, and the eunuchs who brought in the things carefully took off the cloth on it, and below it was really a pot of peonies in full bloom.

In the exclamation of everyone, Hajilan was also very surprised, she didn't expect Concubine Yi to offer a real peony, looking at the Queen Mother's surprised and inexplicable look, and then looking at Kangxi's happy and appreciative gaze to Concubine Yi, Hajilan secretly admired in her heart, this time Concubine Yi's limelight is full of ten.

The flower hui blooms in the opposite season, which is not an uncommon thing for Hajilan, and in the Qing Dynasty, people will not really regard it as a miracle, after all, at least in the Song Dynasty, people can let the peony open in winter, there is Su Dongpo's "Four Songs of Winter Peonies in Ancient Winter" "A demon red and green want to flow, and the spring light shines back on the snow and frost." The chemical industry only wants to be a new ingenuity, and does not let go of idle flowers to rest less, at that time, only the crane forest immortal, can send autumn flowers to the rhododendron. Who believes in poetry can return to creation, and directly teach Shuanghui to release Chunyan" as proof, but Yifei's hand still surprised everyone.

With Concubine Yi's peony pearl in front, the gifts offered by the other concubines are nothing outstanding, that is, the gifts of the princes have been until the ninth elder brother, and they have not been able to set off **, but when it comes to the tenth elder brother, because of the previous paragraph, everyone still has some expectations.

"Little Shi," the Queen Mother also asked Brother Ten with great interest, "I often can't see you these days, I always say that I am preparing a birthday gift for me, and I have always been curious, now I can finally know, right?" ”

"With Concubine Yi's peony in front, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the grandma's gift to surprise the royal mother." Brother Ten shook his head and said, "But fortunately, this gift from my grandson can last for a long time." ”

At this time, two eunuchs came in with great difficulty. Because it was covered with a cloth, I couldn't tell what was inside, but looking at the bottom seat that was exposed, I thought it should be an ornament. As the tenth elder brother stepped forward to lift the cloth, it proved that everyone's guess was not wrong, it was indeed an ornament, an ornament with a longevity peach pattern.

Seeing this, everyone present was a little disappointed, birthday offering longevity peach, it is too ordinary but a gift, especially this longevity peach is not something rare, neither jade nor jadeite, it looks like an ordinary stone, if you have to say what is the difference between this longevity peach and another longevity peach, that is, the "longevity" word engraved on it, in addition to a big longevity word in the middle, the rest of the place is also scattered with many different fonts, different shapes of the "longevity" word.

"Huang Mama," Brother Ten looked at the demeanor of everyone present, and asked the Queen Mother with a smile, "What do you think of this gift from your grandson?" ”

"Very good," the Queen Mother didn't show even a little disappointment, and nodded again and again with a smile on her face. "I was thinking about finding such a big object to put on display, but you sent it, and it is really good to have such a good intention." After speaking, he said to the tenth elder brother, "Quickly ask someone to take a closer look at me." ”

When the tenth elder brother asked someone to carry the longevity peach to the queen mother, the queen mother looked at it carefully, and said with a smile to Kangxi, "Emperor, come and see, I'm afraid there can be more than 100 longevity characters on it, right?" ”

Kangxi was also following the Queen Mother to see the Shou Tao just now, and when he heard the Queen Mother ask like this, he said with a smile: "According to my son's thoughts, I'm afraid it's no more, no less, exactly a hundred." ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother looked at the Tenth Elder Brother.

"Yes, exactly a hundred." Brother Ten nodded.

Kangxi looked at the words on Shou Tao again, then turned to Brother Ten and asked, "I'm afraid that the word Shou on this is also said, right?" ”

"Huang Ama Huiyan," Brother Ten smiled, "The word longevity on this is written by the longevity of the person who is looking for the son everywhere, originally the son wanted to find a thousand, but because the time was a little rushed, only a hundred were found, and when he returned to the capital, the son will go to search again." ”

"What?" The Queen Mother said in surprise, "You mean, the longevity character on this is written by a hundred people, and these people are all found by yourself?" ”

"Yes, if you want to write a birthday for Huang Mama, you naturally need a long-lived person to do it," Brother Ten said with a smile, "And of course, this kind of thing has to be done by the son himself, so that he can be sincere." ”

"What's more," Brother Jiu on the side said with a smile, "Huang Mama, don't look at this stone as ordinary, this is specially found by the tenth brother from your hometown, in addition, every longevity word on it is the first knife carved by the tenth brother, if it weren't for his carving is really bad, he still wants to do it all by himself." ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little moved, if you want to say that Concubine Yi's gift is won by ingenuity, then Brother Shi's gift is touching with his heart. This sincerity alone is beyond the people present, and naturally no one thinks that this gift is ordinary, the Queen Mother already likes Brother Shi, and naturally feels more comfortable at this time, "So that's the case, I didn't expect you to be so attentive to this kid, come and let me see, did you carve those words, did your hand hurt?" ”

"No, no," Brother Ten put his hands behind his back, "just engrave each word, where will it hurt?" ”

"Looking at you like this, you know that you must have been injured," the Queen Mother frowned and said, "Why don't you hurry up and let me take a look, do you have to wait for me to go down?" ”

"Huang Mama," Brother Ten walked up to the Queen Mother and spread his hand, "Actually, it's really nothing, it's just that I didn't use that carving knife at the beginning, so I hurt a little flesh and skin, and now it's almost better." ”

After the Queen Mother carefully looked at Brother Shi's hands, it was indeed really just some flesh wounds, so she was relieved.

"Xiao Shi can be so filial to the Queen Mother, I am very pleased," Kangxi looked at Brother Ten appreciatively at this time, took off the wrench from his hand and handed it over, "This reward you, save you from hurting your hand in the future." ”

"Xie Huang Ama." The ten elder brothers were rewarded happily.
