Chapter 497: Birthday Banquet

Emperor Jingwen's birthday was just after the queen's birthday, which was also not a whole birthday, and the queen only set up a dozen tables of birthday banquets, and the banquet was the harem concubines, royal relatives and the princesses' families

The birthday gift of Rui Wangfu is a thousand-armed Guanyin of mutton fat jade, and a double-sided screen embroidered by Linglong himself.

This birthday gift is not distressing, but Yanxu.

He stole the statue of Guanyin.

Although it is a stolen item, it is dedicated to the queen, and even if the owner himself sees it, he can't believe that it is his belonging.

Every piece of stolen goods is an honor, and Yan Xu is reluctant to sell it, let alone give it away.

It is conceivable that this is the birthday gift that Linglong chose for him.

Although the queen mother looked at this little daughter-in-law who was still as young as a slender bamboo, she was very unpleasant, but when the double-sided embroidered screen was presented, her face still showed a look of satisfaction.

This is Princess Rui's birthday gift, not to mention the double-sided embroidery from the hands of Princess Rui.

The concubines and the wives present praised each other, although most of them did not believe that it was really embroidered by her own hands, but the words of praise were carried out in baskets.

The queen asked, "You can embroider on both sides?" ”

Linglong smiled: "The child is dull, only a little fur, don't dislike the queen mother." “

The queen mother bowed slightly, and the eldest princess of Jiashan, who was sitting under the queen, asked: "I heard that in those famous embroidery workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, there are not many people who are proficient in double-sided embroidery. ”

Generally speaking, large families will invite masters to the house to teach the ladies to be popular.

Jin Yuan and Jin Yu both have masters, but Linglong does not.

When she was in the old house, except for being able to go to the female school in the clan to study, at other times, she lived a similar life like the maids.

She was generous: "The concubine's maiden family has several embroidery workshops, and there are also embroidery girls at home. ”

The eldest princess of Jiashan is Emperor Jingwen's? ahref=-/txt/33154/11551197/-> flattery|Yaofu bribes the valet and fades the, and the widow's seal is miserable? br/>

She nodded, and listened to the Nanyang county lord on the side smiled: "Aunt doesn't know yet, Princess Rui's maiden family is the Jin family in Jiangnan, Suzhou weaving and Hangzhou weaving are her family's business, the most famous embroidery workshops in Jiangnan are all Jin family, and her embroidery girl is also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger." ”

The lord of Nanyang County is considered to have face in front of the queen's mother, her father is King Liang, the brother of Emperor Jingwen, King Liang died before he was twenty, the lord of Nanyang County was raised by the Queen Mother under his knees, and he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and she is a delicate character, whether it is the eldest princess of Jiashan, even Emperor Jingwen also looks at her differently.

Linglong only got married last autumn, although she has also seen the eldest princess of Jiashan a few times, but this old princess can't tell the difference between several princes and princesses at all, until today, seeing this double-sided embroidered screen, it has deepened the impression of Linglong.

The queen mother finally found a specialty that she could get her hands on in Linglong.

Although I don't know poetry and painting, I do a good embroidery.

She remembered the clothes that Yan Xu had worn, with special patterns and exquisite embroidery, and thought it was a masterpiece of the Shangyi Bureau, but now it seems that it should be from the hands of the Jin family.

After giving the birthday gift, Linglong stepped aside, and Min felt that two eyes were looking at her.

This is in the palace, and the queen mother is sitting on it, and everyone who can be here has a background, and all of them are human spirits.

Who dared to stare at her?

She lowered her eyelids, picked up the tea bowl of the five bats and took a sip, well, the Lu'an melon slices that the old ladies love to drink.

Half of the people in this hall are old ladies, old ladies with noble status.

At the moment when she drank the tea, those two eyes left, but soon shot at Linglong again.

Obviously, this person did not look at it unconsciously.

Linglong raised her eyes and looked at the source of the gaze.

She saw Cheng Xuehuai.

Sitting with Cheng Xuehuai was Princess Yuning.

Linglong raised her eyebrows, grinned, and smiled at Cheng Xuehuai.

Cheng Xuehuai's face was so white with anger that she turned her face to the side and didn't look at her.

It was Princess Yuning, whose face was a little embarrassed, and smiled euphemistically at Linglong, just like she had done every time before, shy and restrained.

Linglong remembered that she was reprimanded by the queen that day, and Jingyi Nushi moved her to relieve herself.

I was a little grateful in my heart, regretting that I had forgotten about it afterwards, and I didn't thank Princess Yuning.

She smiled kindly at Princess Yuning.

I only learned today that Princess Yuning and Cheng Xuehuai have a great relationship.

This is not surprising, Cheng Xuehuai is the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Jiashan, and she often enters the palace, she and Princess Yuning are of the same age, and it is not surprising that they can play together.

How do two people with such different personalities get along?

Cheng Xuehuai has a cheerful personality, but he is a little smart, willful and bold, and there is no dust under his eyes.

Princess Yuning is demure and introverted, lifeless, and standard palace furnishings.

Linglong suddenly remembered the little girl she had seen on the street that day, she was not Yan Xu, her eyes were very good, that little girl looked almost exactly the same as Princess Yuning.

Princess Yuning can't leave the palace casually.

Once when she entered the palace, she once talked about the fun in Jinzhenxuan, and Princess Yuning said bluntly that she had no chance to leave the palace.

Thinking of this, Linglong flicked the enamel colored phoenix blowing peony bracelet on her wrist with her hand, and peeked at Princess Yuning.

Princess Yuning's gaze fell on her bracelet.

This bracelet is rare, it is fired by a combination of Western techniques, and she is the only one in the entire capital.

This was specially made for her by Yan Xu.

However, Linglong's attention was not on Princess Yuning and Cheng Xuehuai, and she found that Princess Qing Gu Xie Yu did not come.

If this is not the queen's birthday, Linglong can ask casually, but on an occasion like today, Gu Jieyu, who is the prince's concubine, did not appear, and this matter is not something that can be mentioned casually.

Linglong whispered to Fusu, who entered the palace with her: "Aunt Lao went to inquire, Princess Qing had an accident?" ”

Fusu, Huadiao, and Du Kang have all been named the Shang Palace of the Five Grades, which Yan Xu asked for for them. They are in the prince's mansion on weekdays, and the position of Shanggong is just an empty title, but it distinguishes their identity from other female officials, even if they are like King Shou, they can't ask for marriage casually.

Today is the queen's birthday banquet, Linglong brought the floating su and the flower carving into the palace, the reason why she didn't let Du Kang come with her was not because of King Shou's business, but because Du Kang's appearance was too eye-catching, in case he was taken by his father-in-law Emperor Jingwen, it would be troublesome.

Fu Su had connections in the palace, but she came back in a moment, leaned into Linglong's ear and whispered, "Something happened." ”

One-one-one-one
