Chapter 166: Auction (1)
Zhuang Minhua was wearing a red embroidered gold dragon and phoenix pattern gown, a stone blue embroidered Wanfu pattern horse-faced skirt, a peony bun, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin. The slender willow eyebrows, the curvature is perfect, and under the long eyelashes, a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes are looking forward, and the eyes are seductive with slight movements.
At this time, the sunlight dispersed from the clouds, reflecting an inch of golden light on her body, like a fairy concubine.
Zhuang Minhua took the little hand of Princess Leyang, who was dressed in pink palace clothes, and was surrounded by a group of palace people and walked slowly towards everyone.
Zhang Mo secretly looked over in the crowd, only to feel that the gold ornaments and gold patterns on Zhuang Minhua's head were so shining that she couldn't open her eyes, and the nine tails on the phoenix hairpin made her clear eyes dyed with different colors. Not to mention the incomparable and stunning figure, as if all the brilliance was attracted to her at this moment, attracting worship.
"The courtiers (courtiers) have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is a thousand years old." Everyone bowed down in unison and shouted hello.
"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Zhuang Minhua smiled and raised his hand slightly, and everyone got up. When Zhuang Minhua sat down on the Yutai phoenix chair in Xinxiang Building, other talents rushed in and sat down according to their grades. Princess Leyang sat down under them after greeting the eldest princess Rong'an and the eldest princess Guangde.
Dressed in purple palace clothes and dressed in a dignified and elegant manner, the eldest princess of Guangde asked Princess Leyang in a low voice, "Leyang, the empress dowager, why didn't the two empress dowagers and your mother come?" ”
Princess Leyang replied solemnly: "Back to my aunt's words, the Queen Mother used an extra bite of fried dumplings in the morning, and she was a little unhappy, so she couldn't say it." Let's start first. She'll be over later. Queen Rong said that she was going to eat fasting and chant Buddha today, so she didn't come. Mother, she won't come out. In the end, the corners of Princess Leyang's mouth were a little astringent.
The eldest princess of Guangde asked the Empress Dowager that she was fine, and touched the back of her neck soothingly, thinking in her heart that she would quietly leave the table and go over to see the Empress Dowager later.
After everyone sat down, Zhuang Minhua said some opening remarks and then entered the theme, "Today's spring is just right, the sun is shining, and the flowers in the imperial garden are also blooming just right." Hongu thought that this cherry blossom viewing party should not be just for cherry blossom viewing. Why don't you show off your talents in the flower-filled Imperial Garden today? Whether it's poetry and songs. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dance and acrobatics, all are available. ”
"Of course, before that, please nominate the referees. And the referees each hold ten red flowers in their hands. Every lady who performs. The referees give the number of safflowers according to the level they agree with. At the end, the total number of safflowers will be counted. According to the number of safflowers, the ranking will be judged, and then rewarded. ”
"As for the reward, this palace has also been prepared. Come. Present. After speaking, Zhuang Minhua clapped his palms.
Immediately, a team of red-clothed palace maids each carried a tray covered with red brocade and rushed in, a total of ten palace maids. Walked up to the terrace and lined up on it.
The ladies and ladies around the terrace suddenly whispered, and one by one began to guess what kind of reward the queen had prepared.
Zhuang Minhua bowed slightly to the four palace maids standing next to her, and the four of them immediately bowed their knees to her and went up to the terrace. Zhuang Minhua said with a smile: "This palace has got some good things, and I am willing to share them with you." This reward is made today, and it will not disappoint the young ladies. ”
Even the queen mother said that it was a good thing, so what is it? Everyone's eyes became more curious, and they all gathered on the tray, eager to see through the red brocade that covered the prize, and see the contents of the tray clearly.
The corners of Qian Hong's mouth curled, and she opened the first tray, revealing ten blocks of various colors and shapes, and Qian Hong and the others held up one piece with a handkerchief and sent it to the table one by one.
The eldest princess of Guangde picked up a piece of red petal-like lump and smelled it, and faintly smelled a fragrance of flowers, pinched it with her hand, it was hard and a little slippery. couldn't help but look up and ask Zhuang Minhua, "Queen Mother, I don't know what this is?" What does it do? ”
Zhuang Minhua also took a green leaf-like lump in her hand, she held it in her hand and said to everyone: "This is called soap, wipe it on the body when bathing, it has a good decontamination effect, and after bathing, the person also has the floral fragrance of this soap itself." ”
Saying that, Zhuang Minhua bowed slightly to Mrs. Zhuang in the crowd, but Mrs. Zhuang glanced at her. Zhuang Minhua was slightly stunned, understanding that the eldest lady had something to say to her, but she was still bowing her head.
Zhuang Yi sat beside Mrs. Zhuang, watching the interaction between Zhuang Minhua and Mrs. Zhuang, her eyes were shining with excitement, and she pestered Mrs. Zhuang and said, "Grandmother, look, soap, Aunt Eighteen has already given us some." It's really much more beautiful and easy to use than the soap horn we use every day! ”
Mrs. Zhuang's face was slightly gloomy, "Sister Duan, haven't you forgotten what your grandmother told you before entering the palace?" On such an occasion, what kind of system is it about? ”
Zhuang Yiduan hurriedly straightened his posture, restrained his exaggerated expression, and pulled out a reserved smile at the corner of his mouth, which was dignified and generous.
Mrs. Zhuang looked funny and shook her head slightly, "Just remember, okay, don't talk nonsense, listen to what Niangniang says." ”
The lady next to her heard the grandfather and grandson talking and leaned over, "Mrs. Zhuang, I heard Ling's granddaughter say just now that she has used this kind of soap, is it really as easy to use as the queen said?" ”
Zhuang Yi raised his mouth, and was about to answer, but was glared at by Mrs. Zhuang and closed his mouth. Dr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Exactly, Niangniang gave some to the dealer, which is really easy to use." If Mrs. Cai doesn't believe it, she can go back and give it a try. ”
Mrs. Cai still needs to ask again, and Qian Hong on the stage is already opening the second tray. This is a small and delicate garden building-style building, and in the middle of the courtyard stands a noble girl who is holding a fan, and the small one is very cute.
Everyone didn't know how Qian Hong fiddled with it, and then let go, and suddenly there was a pleasant sound of music floating out of the building, and I don't know what kind of musical instrument was played, and the music that I had never heard before appeared in everyone's ears, and the aristocratic girl in the building also slowly turned in circles.
There was an exclamation on the table, and in order to avoid gaffes, many people couldn't help but cover their mouths with handkerchiefs.
Even Old Madam Lin, who had always been steady, widened her eyes and looked at the small building in amazement. I was so surprised that I stammered, "This, what kind of artifact is this?" It's unbelievable that you can play music by yourself. ”
Zhuang Minhua smiled, "Don't worry, Old Madam Lin, listen to this palace tell you what this is." A fetish is not a thing, but it is indeed a rarity. This is a music box that came from overseas, and how it was done, Hongu doesn't know either. But as soon as you twist that clockwork, it will automatically play music. (To be continued.) )
