Ruolan saw Xia Lipian entering the palace from afar, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, "The slave maid asked the lady to say goodbye, the queen mother ordered, the lady lady arrived, and she could enter the inner hall directly." ”

"Get up, today is the queen's birthday, and let you girls have more work to do, Zao'er, go and follow your sister Ruolan to work." Xia Li knew that the summer palace was not as good as the harem, and it was common for there to be a shortage of manpower, so she asked Zao'er to help Ruolan.

Ruolan hurriedly thanked her, and took Zao'er to the apse to work, and here she heard Concubine Mei laughing in the inner hall, Xia Li smiled in her eyes, and walked into the inner hall with lotus steps.

"The concubine said hello to the queen. The queen will enjoy the blessings of the immortals forever, and the longevity will be the same. Xia Li blessed her body, and the queen helped her up with a smile on her face.

said with a concerned face, "Concubine Shu is a person who has a body, don't do these empty courtesies anymore, this palace is also that cumbersome person." ”

"It's okay on weekdays, today is the birthday of the queen's mother, how can the concubines be less courteous." Xia Li said, then turned around and ordered Xiao Mingzi to send the congratulatory gift.

The concubines came forward curiously, wanting to see what gift this much-loved concubine would give to the queen, Concubine Mei saw Xiao Mingzi holding a box and stepped forward, and said with a smile, "It is said that it is the concubine's sister's holy grace, don't say that it is a rare treasure, that is, the concubine's sister wants the moon in the sky, and the emperor can pick it for her. ”

Who knew that Xia Li smiled indifferently and said, "Those things, but the emperor is happy to reward the concubine, the concubine thought, must not lose the number of etiquette on the birthday of the queen's mother, this is the concubine a few days ago hand-embroidered purse, a dragon and a phoenix, symbolizing the dragon and phoenix auspicious, to the queen and the emperor, may the queen and the emperor and the immortal couple forever knot." ”

The purse handed over by Xiao Mingzi over there, with bright yellow satin as the base, bright gold silk thread embroidered dragon, pink silk thread embroidered phoenix, one large and one small, fine stitches, exquisite craftsmanship, and the concubines who watched it applauded again and again.

"I know that Concubine Shu is a person with a heart. The palace looks like it.,Than those cold objects make the palace happy.,The palace thanks to the sister of the concubine.,There is a body and specially prepared a congratulatory gift for the palace.,It's really heartfelt! The queen seemed to like this pair of purses very much, and expected that the emperor would wear them with her, thinking about it, she felt more happy in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be more soft when she looked at Xia Li.

Concubine Mei secretly despised herself, she gave the queen a golden carved jade to send Guanyin, Wan Concubine sent a deep-sea coral ornament, and the other concubines also used their housekeeping skills to send rare treasures, how could this Xia Li just embroider a purse, which made the queen smile, and it was inevitable that there was some injustice in her heart.

It was nearly noon, Feng Moyu approved the urgent recital, and came to the queen's palace, and saw that the palace was crowded, and the courtyard full of flowers was full of rare treasures, and the palace concubines were also waiting at the palace gate early, kneeling and saluting, Feng Moyu's eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Xia Li, only to show a smile, and said, "Concubines, hurry up." ”

Feng Moyu asked the Internal Affairs Office to send a reward early, and the queen also thanked her again and again, because it was the queen's birthday, Feng Moyu naturally wanted to stay in this Fengyue Palace, and the concubines did not dare to make a mistake.

After talking in the palace for a while, Concubine Mei proposed that the weather be hot and humid and not go to the apse for boating, and the other concubines also agreed, Feng Moyu saw that Xia Li seemed to be a little tired, and said, "Concubine Shu is weak, this heat is unbearable, let's go back first." ”

After hearing this, the queen seemed to have this intention, Xia Li saw this, quickly got up, and said, "The concubines have been stuffy in the palace for a few days, and it is rare that all the sisters have gathered together today to celebrate the birthday of the queen, and the concubines can also be lively and lively, so that the prince in the womb is also contaminated with this festivity, the emperor and the mother should not feel that the concubine is a burden..."

Xia Li's words, everyone nodded and praised, if it was okay on other days, after all, it was the head of the six palaces, the queen's birthday, it was rare for Xia Li to have this insight, and the queen also smiled when she heard it, and praised Xia Li again and again.

"Concubine Shu is sensible, although she is young, she has a wide range of knowledge, your Majesty, look at this." The queen beckoned, and Ruolan over there hurriedly sent Xia Li's congratulatory gift.

Feng Moyu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, "The craftsmanship is really good." ”

"This is the purse embroidered by the concubine sister for the emperor and the palace, not to mention this craftsmanship, it is her heart, the palace is very happy, looking at the sisters in the harem are doing their best to please the palace, but the concubine alone is the most the heart of the palace, what does the emperor think?" The queen praised the concubines present and Xia Li, Feng Moyu was also full of joy when she heard it, and casually tied the embroidered phoenix purse to the queen's waist, and the queen also hurriedly stepped forward and tied the embroidered dragon purse to Feng Moyu's waist.

When the concubines saw this, they inevitably congratulated again, and Concubine Mei also quipped, "If I had known that Concubine Shu's sister was so exquisite, the palace would have asked for a Dai Dai a long time ago, and the concubines would have been jealous of the emperor and the queen laughing." ”

"If Sister Concubine Mei likes it, can my sister embroider a sachet for her sister another day?" Xia Li turned her head and said with a smile, in the harem, the most taboo thing is favoritism, since Concubine Mei has spoken, she can't brush her face.

Several other concubines also took the opportunity to ask for a few, and the royal relatives and nobles also took this opportunity to please Feng Moyu and the queen, and the dragon heart was happy, and immediately issued a decree to add a title to the queen, called 'Yihe', which is really a great honor for the queen and her mother.

The guards came to report, saying that the cruise ship had been prepared, just waiting for the emperor to board the ship, Feng Moyu pulled the queen with one hand, and Xia Li with the other, and walked towards the apse, this was the first time Xia Li came to the queen's apse, only to see that the pier facing the sea was built extremely luxuriously, a huge cruise ship was three stories high, and there were more guards standing on the deck than in the ordinary palace, and there was a slightly smaller cruise ship behind, presumably for those ministers.

Although it is only a small beach, it is also such a charming scenery, after boarding, the sea breeze gusts, mixed with a touch of coolness, Xia Li is comfortable and relaxed. With a smile on her face, she said, "Today is really through the light of the queen's mother, and the concubines can also cruise with the emperor, presumably the scenery on the sea must be good." ”

"Sister Shufei is a playful person, and she knows the benefits of this cruise ship." The queen stood on the deck with her hands on the railing, the wind blew, and she was dignified with black silk, without a trace of messiness, and her delicate makeup could not find a single flaw.

"Your Majesty, look at the weather today, it seems to be contaminated with the joy of the queen's mother, the wind is beautiful, and the white clouds are blooming." Concubine Mei stepped forward, helped the queen, and said in a coquettish voice.
