This made her, who was already proud of this, feel that she had lost her place in an instant.

What a thing, to put it nicely, it is the first beauty in Jiangnan.

To put it mildly, it's just a singer who can sing songs, a thing for men to enjoy.

Thinking of this, Concubine Rou felt a burst of disdain in her heart.

Her father was an auxiliary minister of the court's cabinet, and he has been assisting the emperor since he was still a prince.

If she is the daughter of the governor of Jiangnan, it is almost the same, but she is not.

It's just something that the governor gave to the emperor.

As long as Concubine Rou thinks that such a woman is similar to her, she takes the soft route, how can she think about it!

The Emperor's birthday feast was not over.

On the same day, the emperor asked Li Zhong to send a large wave of rewards to Liu Guiren's house.

But he didn't go to see Liu Guiren, but went to the Roumeng Hall to see Rou Guifei.

This made everyone feel that His Majesty the Emperor was only superficially meaning to Liu Guiren.

It was night, Ying Zhan didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the Longxuan Palace.

As usual, Li Zhong compiled two booklets for this year's congratulatory gifts.

One is a list of all the birthday gifts.

One is a list of heavy and light gifts.

After Ying Zhan took it, he first flipped through the general list booklet at random.

Then, he flipped through the list of heavy and light gifts at random.

Moreover, he also directly turned the booklet to the page of the light salute, and turned back when he was done.

Li Zhong saw His Majesty flipping through it, as if he was deliberately looking for someone's name.

He asked, "Your Majesty, are you looking for anyone's name?" ”

"All the things sent by the concubines this year are here?" Ying Zhan asked seemingly casually.

Li Zhong: "The congratulatory gifts given by the concubines are not all together, some are valuable, some are light, but they are all affectionate to you. ”

Ying Zhan: "Is there anything more special?" ”

After all, the woman sent him something bizarre every year.

After Li Zhong heard this, he thought about it very seriously.

The emperor has already mentioned the concubines and more special gifts, so he only needs to recall them in this range.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't expect it.

I had to reply truthfully: "Your Majesty, no one in the harem has given too special gifts this year, they are all very common congratulatory gifts." ”

"......" Ying Zhan was silent for a few breaths, and finally asked directly: "What about the concubine?" What did she give me this year? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhong came to his senses, it turned out that the emperor was going to ask about the concubine.

"Speaking of the concubine Niangniang, the gift she gave this year can be described as good and good-looking, compared with the congratulatory gifts given by those civil officials in the previous dynasty!"

Ying Zhan frowned impatiently, "I asked you what she sent, what are you doing with this?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Li Zhong hurriedly said to the point: "The concubine is giving you a pair of calligraphy and paintings this year, but do you want the slave to bring it to you to see?" ”

Ying Zhan didn't reply, but just gave Li Zhong a sharp look.

But Li Zhong understood the meaning in his eyes.

The emperor's eyes seemed to say, "Do you still need to ask?"

A moment later, Li Zhong took a pair of scrolls from the storeroom.

He also asked the eunuch to move a wooden frame where calligraphy and paintings could be displayed.

Simply place the wooden cylinder of the scroll on a wooden frame and unfold the calligraphy.

When Li Zhong unfolded the calligraphy and painting, he saw an ink painting painted on the calligraphy.

The painting is a 10,000-year-old green pine, which means longevity.

Ying Zhan got up and walked to the calligraphy and painting.

The rice paper was sprinkled with a soft ink like water.

It's obviously simple black and white, but she painted the feeling of evergreen mountains and rivers.

And her paintings give people a light, soft, moist, and natural feeling, just like her, simple and pure.

There is a space on the right side of the painting, and a few lines of words are mentioned on it.

As follows:

Birthday boy Akihisa. Shou song after intoxication.

Birthday candles. Hand the golden stove and burn a longevity incense.

Full of longevity wine. I would like to be courteous to celebrate my birthday.

Ask how Shou is. Shou is more than Nanshan Fu.

I don't know why, it's just a simple calligraphy and painting, but Ying Zhan feels comfortable for no reason.

Li Zhong, who was standing on the side, said: "What's the matter, Your Majesty, the slave didn't lie to you, the calligraphy and painting of the concubine Niangniang are beautiful, right?" ”

"Heh, you have a vision." Ying Zhan turned around and sat down in front of the bookcase, "It's rare for her to give a decent gift." ”

Li Zhong: "......"

He actually heard a little smug in the emperor's words.

Li Zhong smiled, "How can a slave know what calligraphy and ink painting is, but he has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he has seen a lot, and he can also see a good one." ”

Ying Zhan closed the list of two congratulatory gifts, and said lightly: "You go to find someone, frame this calligraphy and painting, and hang it in my study." ”

"Yes, the slave will go find someone to frame the calligraphy and painting." After Li Zhong answered, he went out in a hurry.

I thought that the emperor was not the first time to recover the calligraphy and paintings sent by others.

But there is no one who can let the emperor frame it in the study, and there is no one in the front and back harems.

Now this concubine is the first person in the harem!

------

In the following days, due to the approaching end of the year and the cold weather, everyone hid in the house to roast the fire.

In addition to asking for peace at the two concubines every day, Tanyan is nesting in the house to bake the fire, read books, review the cases of the Tanyi Pavilion, and the account books of the beauty workshop.

On this day, when I came back from Concubine Rou's morning province, I looked at the account book in the inner room.

Maybe it's too boring to read the ledger, so I fell asleep on the bookcase when I looked at it.

When she woke up, she had a thin blanket on her.

Aunt Qin and Xiaolian stood by and waited.

Leaning Yan turned around, put the thin blanket on the back of the chair behind him, and then stretched, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to my mother's words, it's noon." Xiaolian said: "Xiao Guizi has also gone to the Shangshi Bureau, you should have dinner in a while." ”

Hearing this, he was slightly surprised, "It's noon?" Didn't I sleep half an hour? ”

Xiaolian: "You've been asleep for nearly an hour. ”

So, he looked shocked, "Yes, but how do I think I just squinted for a while." ”

Somehow, she doesn't seem to be getting enough sleep lately.

When you come back in the morning, you always have to catch up on sleep.

Not long after lunch, I need to take a nap.

As soon as she had eaten dinner at night, her eyes began to fall asleep.

She slept a lot more than before, but she was getting sleepy.

As a result, her work efficiency has been greatly reduced recently.

Isn't it the reason why it's been too cold lately?

After a while, Xiao Guizi came back with a food box and spread a meal in the hall.

She looked at the table full of meals, all of which she loved to eat, but she didn't have much appetite.

In the end, she locked on the plate of spicy chopped pepper fish head and sandwiched a large piece of fish.

As a result, when she ate it, she noticed that the taste of this fish was wrong, and it was not the same as before.

Qian Yan raised his head and asked, "Xiao Guizi, has the Shangshi Bureau changed its cook?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Guizi looked confused, "It's still the same cook who has been cooking for you." ”

Qian Yan: "That's strange, why do I think this dish is not as delicious as before, and I can't say anything wrong, anyway, it tastes weird, it seems to be greasy than before." ”

Xiao Guizi: "Xu is that the cook's cooking skills have regressed, and the next time he goes to pick up food, the slave will tell the cook not to be too greasy." ”

Qian Yan nodded slightly, said "um" lightly, and continued to eat.

But Aunt Qin on the side showed joy, "Niangniang, look at the slave, this dish is fine, but your taste has changed!" ”

"My appetite has changed?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Aunt Qin.

Aunt Qin nodded and said affirmatively: "You see that you are sleepy again, and your taste has changed, shouldn't you be happy?" ”
