Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Luxurious Finch Fur

In the longevity box is a lapis lazuli robe, the robe is neatly folded, and at a glance it is the scales on the peacock's tail, which are close to the clusters, and it looks like the open finch screen of the living creature. This thing is fine when you look at it, even the Queen Mother can't help but stretch out her hand and touch it carefully, the soft and smooth touch is like touching the smoothest thing in the world.

Finch gold fur, Xu Luoxin's birthday gift for the queen turned out to be finch gold fur.

This thing is precious and rare, but it is not inferior to the water agarwood that Concubine Zheng just offered, such a thing can not be found even in this palace, at this time, Xu Luoxin is offered as the queen mother's birthday gift, but it is also amazing. Aunt Fanxi has never seen it, and now she is amazed to see it, and at the signal of the Queen Mother, Aunt Fanxi took out the finch gold fur from the longevity box. As soon as the finch gold fur came out, everyone sighed, and no one could have imagined that what Xu Luoxin had prepared was such a rare treasure.

Even if it was Liqing, it was unexpected.

The palace was closed because of this piece of finch gold fur, so silent Xu Luoxin was very happy, a little proud to look at the queen mother, Xu Luoxin smiled: "When I was young, the father of the concubine occasionally got this finch gold fur, and the concubine entered the palace with the concubine after being hired into the palace. This is not thinking about the queen mother's birthday is also coming, such a rare and luxurious thing must only be too much of an identity to wear its extravagance, the concubine is now in the birthday ceremony to the queen mother, hope that the queen mother will live a long and healthy life. ”

"This finch gold fur was accidentally obtained by Mrs. Xu?" While looking at the finch golden fur carefully, the queen mother asked, and Xu Luoxin nodded and responded: "Back to the queen mother's words, it is exactly, the father of the concubine in the first year returned to his hometown to explore, and he got this thing by chance." ”

"Taiwei Xu's fate is also fate."

If the water agarwood is a treasure in the water, then this finch gold fur is a rare thing in clothing, and the labor hours and manpower and financial resources spent on a finch gold fur are by no means describable in words, that is, the finch gold fur is to take the bead feathers on the peacock's tail and mix them into the silk thread, and these short fluff hairs are rotated and wound on the slender silk, and then tied with the green silk thread in sections. In this way, the peacock's "bead feathers" are fixed on the filament little by little, so that the layers of twisting and winding become the silk thread for sewing the finch gold fur.

It would take unimaginable effort to make such a single thread, let alone make such a whole piece of finch fur. There has always been such a rare thing only in the palace of the former dynasty, but after the destruction of the former dynasty, this treasure is hidden in the smoke and can not be found, but now it is presented as the birthday gift of the queen mother through the hand of Xu Luoxin.

This Xu Taiwei's fate is amazing.

Just talking about birthday gifts, this birthday gift is naturally rare, but such a rare thing makes people think deeply. It is rare to have such a filial piety, and the Queen Mother of Shouli naturally accepts it, and of course people praise it. not only praised it, but also rewarded Xu Luoxin with a golden ruyi and two gold bills to praise his filial piety.

On the birthday of the Queen Mother, each palace has dedicated its own birthday gifts, but the most popular thing in this birthday gift is the scriptures of Qin Shujiu, and the most valuable ones are, of course, the water agarwood golden statue Buddha of Zheng Guifei and Xu Luoxin's finch gold Qiu. Although the filial piety of the queen mother of each palace is clear in her heart, but only Qin Shujiu and Xu Luoxin have been rewarded by the queen mother. That golden ruyi understands the queen mother's grace, and she is of course happy to receive such a reward.

returned to his seat very highly, and after taking his seat, he didn't forget to glance at Qin Shujiu, but he showed off the reward he received from the Queen Mother.

The share of the reward is heavy, but the mind left behind is also heavy, this Xu Luoxin looked at a smart face, but in fact she didn't have any brains, and now she thought she was the most glamorous person at this birthday banquet, but she didn't know that she was in a trap set by others.

Xu Luoxin's provocation, ignore it, the provocation with a smile but glanced back, and then Qin Shujiu poured a glass of wine and toasted, and after saluting, he withdrew his eyes and began to watch the song and dance of the Shangli Bureau as the reserve. Under the singing and dancing, a few glasses entered the throat, and the people were also a little drunk, thinking that the people were a little dizzy, Qin Shujiu signaled Nanzhi to help him go outside. When he got up, Su Die asked, signaling that he was just going outside to sober up, and Qin Shujiu retreated.

The wind in the spring is also cool, and the group of people who came out also woke up a lot, and it was refreshing to leave the Sheng, Song and Man dancers, Qin Shujiu walked slowly and looked at the various scenes in the palace at night, and his mood was also good. After the birthday gift, Qin Shujiu's state of mind was excellent, especially now that he was leaving the birthday banquet, he was even more happy, and he couldn't help but ask Nanzhi behind him to ask. After helping Qin Shujiu to walk lightly, Nanzhi beside him asked, "Sister looks in a good mood, but what kind of interesting thing has she discovered?" ”

"Interesting?" After a pause, he turned around and asked, but instead of answering, he looked at Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu said, "Why do you only know that you care about that interesting thing, don't you talk about Xu Jieyu's reward?" As soon as he finished saying this, Nan Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with some disdain: "Why should I care about her rewards, if her share is really a reward, I don't think my sister will smile so much now." In my opinion, the queen mother's reward may not know what is hidden under the scenery. ”

The grace in the palace is not necessarily a favor, and the punishment is not necessarily a punishment, if the essence of this matter is determined by the things on the face, it will be difficult for a long time. Nan Zhi's words made Qin Shujiu lose his smile, raised his head and tapped Nan Zhi's forehead, Qin Shujiu smiled: "Smart." ”

After dropping these two words, he continued to move forward, Qin Shujiu said: "That Xu Jieyu is proud now, but unfortunately she is afraid that some people will be attracted to it, the finch gold qiu is a noble thing in the previous dynasty, and the ancestors destroyed the previous dynasty and could not find it in the palace, but it became a gift for Xu Jieyu to enter the palace with her marriage, you say, if you change it to you, will you think about something?" Ying Ying smiled but said something like that, and after Nan Zhi laughed back at that remark, Qin Shujiu said: "By the way, Nan Zhi, I recently found a time to go out of the palace for me to pass a word." ”

"What does my sister want Nanzhi to pass on?"

"It's to bring a sentence to that Qin Shangshu, just say that Taiwei Xu's matter can be investigated, and it is rare that such a good opportunity should not be wasted, as for the eldest sister." At this point, Qin Shujiu thought about it again before he said, "The eldest sister told them not to act rashly first, and I will take a look later." After saying that, he looked at Nanzhi again, and stepped up his advice on the importance of this matter, Qin Shujiu's advice to Nanzhi was naturally engraved in his heart, and he said immediately.

"Nanzhi knows, this thing must be done, sister, don't worry about this." After responding, it is a guarantee, with Nanzhi's guarantee, Qin Shujiu is also relieved, and when he continues, but after a while, he finds that he is getting farther and farther away from the birthday banquet, and Nanzhi is a little confused, and can't help but say: "Sister, we are far away from the birthday banquet now, where is my sister going?" ”

"It's April."

"yes, it's mid-April." Nanzhi responded, this should make Qin Shujiu sigh and then said: "In April, wisteria flowers also bloomed. ”

Walking forward is the place where the wisteria flowers bloom, and the most gorgeous wisteria flowers in this palace are that place, like a waterfall spilling down, so that Qin Shujiu can't help but yearn for it. It's rare that no one has the heart to pay attention to her under this birthday banquet, and she won't mention the thoughts and calculations of everyone on the side, but she took this opportunity to plan to take a look.

The splendor of the wisteria.

In mid-April, the flowers have bloomed, but they have not yet fully bloomed, although they are not as good as the waterfall, but they are still so beautiful that Qin Shujiu has some souls. The first time she entered the palace, she saw it, and at that time she was also touched in her heart, but after seeing that once, she had never come for the second time, and today she also took this opportunity to come here to take a look.

This wisteria was planted in the forbidden palace, and no one knew why a good palace was abolished, although no one ordered that this garden should not be entered privately, but no one was willing to come to such a ruin. No one was willing to come, but Qin Shujiu was happy to be leisurely, and immediately entered the garden with the support of Nanzhi. The main entrance of the garden is hidden, and you only need to push it to enter, and when you enter the garden, you will soon see the wisteria planted in the west corner of the garden.

When he entered the garden, he did not enter it immediately, but stood at the door and looked at the garden carefully, although he could not see the details of it under the soft moon, he could also see an outline. The garden is not big, if you want to talk about it, it is better to say that it is a house garden of ordinary people, quiet and elegant, only three side rooms and a stone bench, and in addition to this, there is only the wisteria standing in the corner of the west wall. There is such a simple place in the luxurious Taiming Palace, it is really hard to imagine what the use of such a place is.

After taking a closer look, he entered the garden, walked in the garden, raised his hand to touch the railing that had lost its color, and under such a light touch, Qin Shujiu slowly walked towards the wisteria. Wisteria is also a little old, born thick and luxuriant, such an age is also someone to take care of it, otherwise how can this aged wisteria bloom so gorgeous every year. Walked to the bottom of the tree and raised his head, looking at the sea of hanging flowers, even if he didn't see it very well at night, Qin Shujiu could still see its magnificent purple, raised his hand and was about to touch the faint but saw a black shadow on the tree, because the shadow came out of nowhere, but it startled Qin Shujiu, and he exhaled lightly at the moment.

This light exclamation startled Nanzhi, and he immediately protected him, but when he was alert, he heard the man's chuckle from the wisteria tree, and it was indeed a person if there was a voice, and Qin Shujiu, who felt that he was out of shape, was even more upright and then shouted: "Who is in the tree." ”

As soon as she drank like this, the man on the tree moved, jumped down from the tree and stood on the ground through the sea of wisteria, and the man on the tree smiled and said, "This king has no intention of disturbing the new sister-in-law, and I hope that the new sister-in-law will forgive me." "Although the person went down the tree and still didn't see it very clearly, he could still tell from his clothes and outfit that it was Prince Han. When he realized that the person on the tree was Li Han, Qin Shujiu hurriedly saluted and said, "I didn't know that the prince was here, it was rude." ”

"The new sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite, but this king has to apologize to his sister-in-law for the disturbance." After speaking, he made a salute, but there was no arrogance that the royal prince should have. Li Han had already done this, and Qin Shujiu couldn't say anything, so he could only return the salute. After a few rounds of this ceremony, I heard Lihan say: "Why wasn't my sister-in-law at the birthday banquet during the palace banquet, why did she appear here?" ”

"After drinking a few cups, people are a little drunk, so they go out for a walk to dissipate the smell of wine." Qin Shujiu replied like this, and as soon as he replied to Dao Lihan, he said: "It's with this king, and you have to go out for a walk if you drink too much wine, otherwise if you continue to be drunk, you will be drunk." ”

After speaking, he walked a few steps back to the wisteria, and he didn't know what to look up at, this Lihan was the Queen Mother's favorite child, and it was amazing that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet could disappear so silently. He didn't speak there, Qin Shujiu just stood and looked at Li Han's figure almost hidden in the flower night, and just looked at it silently, until Li Han asked, "My fair lady thinks this wisteria is very beautiful." ”

"Zixue is not white, and the idle hairpin group is clear. To tell the truth, the wisteria in this garden is really blooming very well, but it makes people inexplicably have the heart of retreat. These words came to my heart, so indifferent and elegant, if I could cultivate here for a long time, it would also be a good place to return. This is the deepest thought in Qin Shujiu's heart, although she knows that she can't ask for such a thought, but she said it inexplicably when she saw this wisteria.

Qin Shujiu's exclamation obviously hit what Li Han was thinking, and the prince of the sect who was as chic as an idle cloud and wild crane couldn't help but smile with relief, and then responded: "Yes, if you can still find such an immortal-like situation, even if you are far away from this court and the wilderness, it is good to wander alone." ”

The government and the opposition are all Dao Han Prince is the most powerless person among the princes, and now listening to his sigh like this, this sigh can't help but resonate under this sea of vines, and then Qin Shujiu asked: "This wisteria flower was planted by the prince?" ”

"Is this wisteria?" There was no reply to the inquiry, and I didn't know what Lihan was thinking, so he was silent for a long time before he said, "Yes and no." ”

"Huh?" This reply was a little vague, and at that moment Qin Shujiu guessed whether Li Han was drunk, so he would say such unpredictable words, and was thinking about whether to leave to avoid suspicion, but heard Li Han say: "This is planted by this king's childhood when he was a green plum, and this wisteria was born in her house when he was a child, and it bloomed very well at that time like now." It's just that later this wisteria asked the imperial brother to move into the palace, although he almost died during the period, but fortunately, he finally came back to life. ”

"This is good, why did Your Majesty move this wisteria into the palace?" Wisteria is also old, and if this old tree is transplanted rashly, it is more likely that it will not survive. A little unclear so Qin Shujiu also asked, but he didn't expect to get a reply from Li Han when he asked, his voice seemed to sink a lot, and Li Han said: "Because she is gone, she has to change someone to take care of it." ”

The words carried a wound that anyone could hear, and at this time, Lihan made Qin Shujiu regret a little rashly, but he didn't know how to only comfort a little. Relief is said, but this Prince Han no longer needs to be comforted, but because Qin Shujiu's relief made him feel a little strange, he immediately turned his head and looked at Qin Shujiu, and after some dark scrutiny, Prince Han walked out. This time, he was no longer as far away as Qin Shujiu, but went directly to Qin Shujiu. After coming down from the tree, this time the whole person saw the truth, because he avoided taking a step back before and after Li Han's journey, but he could still see the drunkenness on Li Han's face at this time.

The smell of wine in the body, if it weren't for people who really mixed in with the fragrance of flowers, people would not be half drunk at the birthday banquet, but at this time, they were hiding here and getting themselves drunk. Although he was drunk, Li Han was still sober, but he didn't come forward to look at Qin Shujiu, and said after a while: "How long has it been since no one comforted this king because of her." ”

said such words, but the sadness in the words made people's hearts sour when they heard it, perhaps because Li Han was so sad at this time that Qin Shujiu was a little astringent, and he was about to see Li Han come forward before he could speak. This time, Qin Shujiu didn't retreat, but was there, watching Li Han walk to his side, and then inserted an object into his hair. After the object was inserted into his hair, Rihan wiped himself away and left only one last word.

"For more than ten years, Benwang has been wondering when she will be able to come back, but now it seems that it can only be an extravagant hope. This thing was left to the king when she was a child, although the king wanted to forget but was reluctant, and hoped that the fair woman could find a good place to bury it on behalf of the king. ”

After passing by and leaving such words, Li Han finally left, and the drunk Prince Han had never been so sober as he was today, but after more than ten years of waiting, he finally understood that no matter how he waited, it was fruitless, so he took advantage of this wine to find someone and entrusted this thing to be cut off.

Under the sea of flowers, the wind brought the wisteria flowers "rustling", and the Lihan had been far away for a long time, and Qin Shujiu came back to his senses and took off the things left by the Lihan from the hair.

It was a flower hairpin piled up with violet yarn, and because it was already old, the palace flower on the flower hairpin was also faded a lot. Although it is an inconspicuous hairpin, it is full of all the thoughts of a certain royal prince. It's just a pity that this miss is now going to be buried.

He took the hairpin in his hand and played with it carefully, and after a long time, Qin Shujiu handed the hairpin to Nanzhi and then said: "Find a good place to bury this hairpin." After saying this, he thought for a moment, and then admonished, "Also, we have not been here today. ”

"Sister, don't worry, Nanzhi has been accompanying her sister to sober up on the side of the birthday banquet, and she has never been here."
