Chapter 693: The Emperor is a Thousand Autumns

After the thirtieth day of the first month of the Shangyuan Festival, it is the emperor's Qianqiu Festival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn previous years, the Qianqiu Festival was spent very little silver, and it was necessary to set up banquets to entertain ministers and envoys from various countries, so it was possible to get thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver. This year, he is going to change his tricks, which is not only very little money, but also lively. The emperor is very optimistic about the ice sculptures and lantern riddles in Xuanwangfu. Once again, the head of the Rui Wangfu and Ma Yushi were invited to make ice sculptures, which were for the envoys of various countries. He also invited Lord Rui's father-in-law, Mr. Chen, King Fujin, Chen Ruiyun and Prince Xuan to riddle riddles.

The civil and military ministers were naturally the ones who were invited. The time was too short, the people of Rui Wangfu and Xuanwang Mansion, plus the guards and the imperial guards, eunuchs, and skilled craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Mansion in the palace, were busy for thirteen days, and finally arranged various celebration scenes two days before the emperor's Birthday Day. The lantern riddle is also ready to stop, half of the prize or something in the palace, half of the Ruiwang Mansion, all the ministers of civil and military affairs can bring their families to participate, and the doctors who take care of the hospital must participate.

The celebration of the emperor's longevity festival was carried out during the day, and the civil and military ministers felt the festive atmosphere when they entered the noon gate. I was even more excited when I arrived at the Taihedian Square: the balloons of King Rui's Mansion were hanging in the air one by one, with a red slogan on a yellow background: "Warm congratulations to the emperor on the Thousand Autumn Festival!" "Long live the emperor, long live, long live", "The Qing Dynasty is impregnable" and so on. On the front gate of the Taihe Palace, it is also imitating the Song character "Congratulations to the emperor for a thousand years".

After accepting the bows of the ministers, the smiling Emperor Shunzhi accepted the congratulations of the envoys of various countries, and then visited all the ice sculpture exhibits surrounded by princes, county princes, princes and ministers of civil and military affairs. These ice sculptures bring together the essence of the Xuanwang Mansion and complement many other scenery. The "Leaping Dragon Gate" in the palace is an ice sculpture, the huge dragon gate of the colorful ice sculpture shocked all the people, the antique archway type dragon gate, the pillars on both sides are coiled with golden ice carvings and golden dragons (dragon scales are with gold edges). At the top of the archway are two opposing golden dragons competing for a huge, round, delicate bead. The golden carp, which flew up by the waves, had already surpassed the dragon gate in height, and flew towards the dragon gate with excitement and indomitable bravery. Everyone applauded the exquisite view.

Those foreign envoys, when they saw ice and snow sculptures for the first time, kept their mouths closed.

The two immortals, Antarctic Immortal Weng and Magu, both held the fairy peach to offer the emperor's birthday. There are also pine and cypress trees, and evergreen all imply the meaning of longevity. In particular, the two rows of colored ice lanterns leading to the Danqi of the Taihe Hall give people a sense of illusory fairyland.

The foreign envoys who have been laughing at the Qing Dynasty and only know Zi Yue Shiyun were shocked and stunned by the scenery in front of them! The Great Qing Kingdom is really full of talents! The once unruly envoy William was respectful in front of Shunzhi and asked very carefully: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, can you tell me who made these beautiful things that make people stammer?" ā€

"You know this person, the child who exchanged numbers with you on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival."

"Huh? Oh my God! You children of the Great Qing Kingdom are so powerful! ā€

Emperor Shunzhi smiled very reservedly and proudly.

Let's start guessing lantern riddles! The emperor's personal eunuch Wu Liangfu struck the gong in his hand, which suddenly drew everyone's attention back. "Ladies and gentlemen, princes, ministers of civil and military affairs, envoys of various countries, and ladies and dependents, the following is a program of playing games and guessing lantern riddles. Everybody go to the Imperial Garden to play. Play whatever you want, and the winner will have a small prize. ā€

Several concubines who had experienced it in the Xuan Wangfu entered the game venue with pride. Today's game is not the same as the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and several games have been added that can also be played by men. These ideas were all thought up by King Fujin, King Xuan, and Manager Tian of King Rui's Mansion. In addition to the exotic ones and the Qing Dynasty, the riddles of Chinese herbal medicine names that are specially guessed by the imperial doctors have also been added. Because touching your nose is ridiculous and adds to the joyful atmosphere, it was also brought here. It's just that the nose of the grandmother who was touched is a little bigger than before, and the face is also enlarged a lot, which is more conducive to touching.

Most people are accustomed to playing in order, starting with touching their noses, basically the concubines in the palace come to play, and laughter comes one after another. It is true that there are people who go astray after taking three steps, which may be an imbalance in the brain, either to the left or to the right, which makes people laugh hilariously.

The two games of ring and toss were waived and changed to walking the maze and building a house. The so-called labyrinth is a lot of paths surrounded by colored striped plastic sheets bought by the prince, and you have to get out of the maze at the specified time and go out from another exit. If you go astray, you will go to a dead end and you will not be able to get out. This game is great for young men and can be played by anyone regardless of status. Therefore, the young men of the royal family and the children of the ministers of the humerus are eager to try. After looking at the path map in advance, I firmly remembered where the fork was and where the main path was, and entered the maze in groups of four. Without blindfolding them, they just walked by feeling. There are still very few people who go out of the labyrinth, because the main path and the astray path are the same width and narrowness, the same twists and turns, and they can't tell the difference, and they will accidentally walk into a dead end. Time is limited, and it is impossible to go again.

Building a house is also a test of one's memory. Let the participants understand the drawings in advance and tell you how to cover them. It is a combination of different shapes of styrofoam. Naturally, it is also time-limited. Even the emperor built a house once, which is really good, and it is a perfect fit. The emperor laughed like a child and received the prize, a soft plastic bear. Naturally, it is to be rewarded to the beloved concubine Dong E.

Concubine E is most interested in those lantern riddles. She didn't bother to participate in pediatric games.

"Niangniang, look at this lantern riddle." Concubine E's personal maid Qiao'er is literate, and read the content to Concubine E,"

"When a fat girl is sick, what are you most afraid of when others come to visit her?"

"When a sick person is born, he is naturally comforted, so what is there to be afraid of? If you can't guess, please ask the answer. ā€

The people who looked at the riddles were all the grandmothers of the Ruiwang Mansion, and they also gave the answers. I really couldn't guess, so I told him: "The answer is to take care of your body." ā€

"Isn't that right? Very polite and caring. ā€

"The chubby chick is already fat, and then let her keep her weight ......"

"Huh...... Interesting, read this. ā€

"What's more annoying than a crow?"

"It's naturally a crow's mouth that hates it more than a crow."

"Congratulations to Niangniang for guessing correctly, this is the winning chip, and you can receive the prize with this."

"Thank you."

"What is Sleeping Beauty most afraid of?"

"Since it's a beauty, what's so terrible? Such riddles are very incomprehensible, Mama said the answer to the riddle. ā€

"It's insomnia. If you don't like this kind of lantern riddle, there are others. ā€

"Let's look at something else."

"Mother, this is an anagram."

"Okay, you read the riddle."

"Extraordinarily generous. Typing"

"Extraordinarily generous? Extraordinarily generous...... It should be back! ā€

"Congratulations, Niangniang, you guessed it, this is a medal."

"Thank you, Mama. Qiao'er read it again. Concubine E was interested, as if she was suitable for guessing this kind of literary style.

"Moonlight in front of the bed"

"Li Taibai's poem is condensed into one word, which is interesting. The bright moonlight in front of the bed ...... "Concubine E, who is good at poetry and songs, didn't guess it, she couldn't get down a little, and the more anxious she was, the more uncertain she was." "Qiao'er, hurry up and write it down, let's go back and guess."

It's not bad, this one is really studious.

"Niangniang, the next anagram is half of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"I guessed, I guessed, it's the word Qin."

"Congratulations, this is a medal."

"Keep reading." This one, it's still energetic.

"A crescent moon with three stars."

"It's the heart." Not to mention, this concubine is really quick-witted.

"One in a thousand, one in a hundred."

It's really a bit difficult, Concubine E said, "Write it down." ā€

……

In another part of the Imperial Garden, several imperial physicians were pondering riddles of Chinese herbal medicine. The doctors at that meeting were all Chinese medicine practitioners, and they should be very familiar with Chinese herbal medicine, so they felt that it would be shameless if they couldn't guess it.

"Bow your head and think of your hometown", as soon as a eunuch's father-in-law read it, the imperial doctors replied in unison: "Huai Shudi!"

"One medal per person."

"Shepherd boy."

When everyone was stunned for a moment, an old lady doctor with white hair preemptively replied: Morning glory.

"Congratulations to Imperial Doctor Lu, this is a medal, you can take it."

"It's kind of interesting. The following is called Baolongtu, what kind of medicine is Baolongtu? ā€

Another imperial physician quickly said: Shou Wu! Black face. ā€

Everyone laughed, saying that the one who made up the riddle really had some knowledge.

"Thirty-nine season".

"Winter!" Again, one medal for each person.

"Zhaojun out of the stopper"

"The king will not stay."

"Heroes of the Green Forest"

"Grass Bandit"

"Terminally ill"

"Myrrh."

"Wu Song killed his sister-in-law".

"Wu Song's killing of his sister-in-law is also a riddle?"

A young imperial physician shouted, "Andrographis! A knife pierced into Pan Jinlian. ā€

When Concubine E heard all the imperial doctors laughing happily, she hurried over, but unfortunately, the riddles were all guessed for them.

"Niangniang, you look at these, it seems to suit you very well." Qiao'er is very well-behaved, and knows that riddles such as poetry and poetry are the most popular with the concubine, so she was introduced here. These are all Yun'er from "Dream of Red Mansions".

"It can make the demons bold, the sound is like a bundle of silk like thunder, and the sound is terrifying, and the prime minister looks back and sees that it has turned to ashes."

"I'm afraid this is a firecracker, right?" This is the voice of the emperor.

"Congratulations to the emperor, this is a medal."

"It's been given to the concubine."

"Thank you to the emperor, the emperor is really quick."

"It's so simple, I can't guess it, but it's ......"

"The concubine didn't guess it."

"And what, look at this"

"The merits of the people of heaven are not endless, and it is rare to have merit or no luck, why is the town in chaos? It's just that the number of yin and yang can't be connected. ā€

"This riddle is a bit difficult."

"The concubine guessed it, it was an abacus."

"The concubine is so talented."

"That's not as good as the free king Fujin."

"What are you doing? Why does I sound a little sour? ā€

"No, the concubine thinks that only Princess Ruiyun is a talented woman."

"Each has its own merits. Come on, look at this. ā€

Almost forgetting the existence of everything, Emperor Shunzhi and his concubine were immersed in the joy and excitement of guessing lantern riddles. Forgot the time, forgot that it was cold, and didn't remember until Concubine E sneezed three times in a row, and Concubine E, who was already very weak, had been out for a long time.

"Concubine Ai hurry back to the dormitory, don't catch a cold."

"Don't worry, concubine...... Ahh Ahh ā€

"Hurry back! Obedient. ā€

"But there are so many good riddles."

"Qiao'er, you copy it down for Concubine E here, and I will accompany her back to the dormitory."

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

"I don't know how many fun things they found from foreign lands, sister-in-law. There are so many riddles alone. ā€

"Your sister-in-law is too capable, isn't she? The concubine heard that the queen mother wanted to ......"

"Stop! I'm angry about this again. Shunzhi deliberately straightened his face.

"Isn't it okay for the concubine to say something wrong? I'm sorry I won't talk about it again. ā€

"Yun'er's sister-in-law is capable, and no matter how capable she is, she is also a woman who is my emperor's brother. Huang Eniang is just joking with her, she can't take it seriously. It can be seen how much she ...... the imperial brother" Shunzhi found out that he was wrong, and praised Yun'er for her chastity to the imperial brother in front of Concubine E, but Concubine E had to be careful.

It was already late at the end of the garden party, and Wang Ye, Fu Jin, Xuan Wang Ye and others hurriedly took the carriage back to the house. On the way, Fujin said: "It is said that Concubine E is weak and can't help the wind, if it freezes today, the emperor can't blame us for having too many lantern riddles." ā€

"I didn't invite her to guess the riddle, there are imperial doctors in the palace. Our Xuan Wang Ye is only eight years old, and he is still with them. ā€

Concubine E really froze, but it was okay, just a cold, sneezing, runny nose, and a slight fever, and she was fine in a few days. But I can't put down the lantern riddles of the Double Palace. The riddle copied back by Qiao'er was put on the case and thought about it.

"The hue of the predecessor is always fifty percent, I don't listen to Chu Ge and listen to the Buddhist scriptures, Mo Dao sinks into the Black Sea in this life, and there is great light in his sex."

Shunzhi's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he chanted it repeatedly, as if he had realized: "There is great light in sex, and there is great light in sex......"

Concubine E was a little scared, once in a casual conversation, Concubine E said: "The concubine's body is weak by nature, if you walk in front of the emperor......" Before the words were finished, the emperor said: "You go first, I will come with you." ā€

At that time, Concubine E was moved to tears. The emperor hurriedly said: "Either I will become a monk." ā€

This is the promise of the emperor and the voice of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Now he was interested in the riddle again......

"Did Concubine Ai guess? What is it? ā€

"The affairs of Buddhism, the concubines don't understand, don't think about it, okay?"

"Sometimes I think that the imperial brother must have had an epiphany, so he is so calm and calm in terms of money, beauty, fame, and status. Do you know? The cloth shop opened by my sister-in-law's cousin was selling a kind of lasagna, which was not produced in the Qing Dynasty, and must have been brought back by the imperial brother from that foreign land. When they left, they said that they would follow Master Gan Lin to travel to the clouds, so they did not and could not bring ten thousand taels of silver, and the things they bought back were naturally limited. He said that Yun'er's sister-in-law liked it, but the color was not suitable for young women, so she sold it in Yulong Cloth Village. Ma Yushi's notebook said that not only the cloth, but also the purses made by the maids and wives in their house left fifty percent of the capital, and the rest was given to my treasury, the workers and the people who operated, and the people who helped him sell the goods. Thinking about it this way, he didn't even get his capital back. Do you think a different person can do it? He didn't say anything about the loss, but Ma Yushi told me that when he was buying things in a foreign land, he was regarded as rich by the bad guys, and they kidnapped his sister-in-law on the way, and if it wasn't for the Tian guards who sacrificed themselves to save him, he wouldn't have been able to come back. I'm scared when I think about it! Those things were really exchanged for his life, but he never told me about his hard work. When the land was divided, all my brothers rushed to get fertile land, but only the second emperor brother did not fight for anything, and finally gave him a large area of water in Baiyangdian that no one wanted. He hasn't complained a word yet, but what can he do on that surface? They could neither grow crops nor do anything else, but they had some reeds. Are reeds worth any grain? If it hadn't been for the second emperor brother who blocked that poisonous arrow for me, I would have been dead for more than ten years! His arm had been sore, half-crippled, but he hadn't even said a word of complaint! A few days ago, the emperor's mother also tested whether people had ambitions, but the sister-in-law almost died of touching the pillar. On the surface, what he does and says is so plain, but if you think about it carefully, who can do it? The things I bought were all the money from my sister-in-law's father's antiques, and I used them silently, and the money I earned was given to me and to the people who worked. No one gave him a good evaluation, he did it so willingly, what kind of realm is this? Don't worry, I won't think about the emperor's woman, and I won't even be able to say a word about it. ā€

"Your Majesty, it's the concubine who is wrong, and the concubine is narrow-minded......"

"Okay, okay, drink the medicine and settle down." (To be continued.) )
