Chapter 121: On Gift-giving
The days seemed to be calm again, and so it came to the beginning of July.
In the middle of summer, the weather is very hot, and the morning is only a little cooler.
Yun Tilt likes the summer morning, there is a fresh green leaf fragrance faintly came, the morning is bright, but not scorching, very cool and fresh, this day, Yun Tilt got up early again, came to the middle palace to say goodbye.
Probably because the heat came early, the concubines were impetuous, and the shaking fan seemed to be unable to relieve the heat a little.
Outside, the sun had risen, and it looked like it was getting hotter.
At this moment, the voice of the male duck that had not changed for thousands of years came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and ordered to kneel down to greet the driver: "The concubines see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Xi Ze, dressed in a cyan dragon robe, strode in, sat down on the phoenix seat, and said to everyone: "No courtesy, sit down and talk!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Yun leaned up, sat down with everyone, looked at Xi Ze, and saw that Xi Ze's improvement today was very good, and he was also very energetic, and he didn't know what good things were going on.
After a while, Xi Ze spoke, he looked at Wang Ningxuan beside him, and said, "Queen, your birthday is coming soon, isn't it?" ”
Wang Ningxuan smiled slightly and replied, "The emperor has a good memory, and there are still seven days to arrive!" ”
Xi Ze nodded when he heard this, and said: "In previous years, your birthday was always regarded as a celebration, and I was a little wronged by you, so this year's birthday will be a big deal!" You ask the music shop to prepare more songs and dances, and all the concubines will come to participate, so let's have a good time! ”
Wang Ningxuan was a little flattered when she heard this, she lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and said gently: "The emperor is really raising his concubines, it's just a birthday, every year, isn't there a little rejuvenation?" The concubines are all old and yellow, and they are embarrassed to celebrate! ”
Xi Ze stretched his tone and said: "You are the queen of the middle palace, the master of the harem, what do we have to celebrate?" Just a little bit more lively! ”
As soon as his words fell, Shen Luyi hurriedly said: "The emperor is right, we should all come to Niangniang's birthday, and there is no excitement in the palace for some time, everyone gets together together, drinks and admires flowers, watches singing and dancing, and can also communicate more about the relationship between each other, which is also very good!" ”
Xi Ze nodded when he heard this, and said, "Concubine Jing said it well, everyone will get together and have a good time, and have a good time!" Don't shirk the queen! ”
When the concubines heard this, they all agreed.
Chun Jieyu smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you still look very young, very beautiful, but only a few years older than the concubine, I hope that Niangniang will always be young and beautiful!" ”
When Wang Ningxuan heard this, he looked at Chun Jieyu and said with a smile: "Jieyu's mouth is so sweet!" ”
Chun Jieyu smiled: "It's not that the concubine has a sweet mouth, the concubine is telling the truth!" ”
Shu Yuxiao also said: "If the mother is afraid of the heat during the day, we can celebrate at night, the weather is cool at night, and it is suitable for feasting!" ”
"yes, yes!" Concubine Lu also echoed, "It's good to celebrate in the evening, it's not hot, it can be lively for a long time!" ”
The concubines echoed one after another, and Xi Ze also said: "Celebrate well at night, I have to deal with political affairs during the day, and after dealing with it at night, I can just come over and celebrate with you!" ”
Since everyone said so, Wang Ningxuan couldn't postpone it any longer, so he had to say, "Then celebrate at night!" Thank you, concubines, your majesty, sisters! ”
Xi Ze looked at Wang Ningxuan and said with a smile: "The queen doesn't have to be polite, you are the master of the harem, this is as it should be!" It's just that you, as the host of the birthday banquet, shouldn't work too hard, hold the birthday banquet, is there any concubine willing to help? ”
Shen Luyi immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the concubines are willing to come to help, and they must arrange the queen's birthday banquet properly, so that the emperor and the queen are satisfied!" ”
Xi Ze looked at Shen Luyi, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Concubine Jing is good, the birthday banquet will be entrusted to Concubine Jing, and it must be done sumptuously!" ”
When Shen Luyi heard this, he stood up and said, "The concubine obeys the order!" ”
Then, Yang Meiren also said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also willing to come to help, and all the wine for this night banquet will be prepared by the concubines!" ”
Hearing this, Xi Ze looked at Yang Meiren and said, "Well, Yang Meiren, the wine you brew is good, I will hand over this wine to you, it is very suitable, then I will love the concubine hard!" ”
Yang Meiren hurriedly stood up and said, "The concubine obeys the order!" ”
Shu Yuxiao also said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also willing to help, so let's help set up the venue!" ”
Xi Ze looked at Shu Yuxiao and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's hard for you!" ”
Then a few more people were willing to help! Xi Ze responded one by one, seemed to be very happy, and said to Wang Ningxuan: "Queen, with so many people helping, you can have a good rest as a birthday star!" ”
Wang Ningxuan was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Then it's hard work sisters!" ”
On the way back from the middle palace to invite Wan'an, Yun Tian walked with Qin Meiren.
Yun Qian sighed slightly: "It's a pity that Yi Jieyu can't participate in such a lively thing!" ”
Qin Meiren asked: "That matter, the emperor has been tracking it for so long, hasn't it been traced clearly?" ”
Yun Tian sighed and replied: "There is no news from the emperor's side, it should still be investigated, the emperor will not give up this matter lightly, he will definitely find out!" ”
Qin Meiren smiled and nodded: "It's about Niangniang, of course the emperor will find out!" But right now, we have to think about the queen's birthday! Mother, the queen's birthday, what gift do you want to give? ”
Yun Tian was a little worried when she mentioned this, she said: "This is just talking about this, the palace doesn't have an idea yet, the queen's palace lacks nothing, as if it is superfluous to send anything, the palace is thinking about what to send!" What are the good ideas for beauty? ”
Qin Meiren thought for a while and said: "The queen's status is noble, gold and jade are also valuable things, the concubines are dull, and they can't think of any novel ideas, so they can only pick some good gold and jade as gifts, but they are also very cheesy!" ”
Yun Tian smiled slightly: "Women love beauty, the queen is also a beauty, of course she also loves beauty, gold and jade are beautiful, it is also very good to send it, the queen should like it!" ”
Seeing her say this, Qin Meiren asked, "Could it be ...... Niangniang also gives gold and jade as gifts? ”
Yun Tian's smile became more and more brilliant: "I haven't decided yet, if I really don't know what to give when the time comes, I have to send some gold and jade like a beauty, and it won't make people feel bored, no matter what, this palace will definitely not send food!" ”
Qin Meiren understood and said with a smile: "Niang Niang is cautious!" It reminded the concubines that it is really not suitable to give food when giving gifts between these palaces! ”
Before she knew it, she had already walked to Weiyang Palace, and Qin Meiren said goodbye to Yun Tian and walked to her agarwood Xie!
