Chapter 31: Preparing for the auction in April

The queen listened to the emperor's reply and learned that it was stolen by her younger brother Dongfang, which was repaid, so she was so frightened that she immediately put away the picture scroll and prepared to return to Gufang Garden early the next morning.

Day 2.

In the Gufang Garden, the landscape of the back garden is complete, and everything is completed according to the design of Yulian, and it can be said to be perfect.

Yulian didn't mention how happy she was in her heart, and she invited Cui Cairen, Wen Meiren, Qingcai Ren, etc., to come to Gufang Garden to watch.

The girls must be all praised! It is said that this garden is chic and interesting, there is something to play and something to eat.

It's just that the melons, fruits and vegetable seedlings in that vegetable field have begun to sprout green shoots.

In addition, a large field of medicinal herbs is also exuding bursts of unique aromatic aromas of medicinal herbs.

By the way, there is also a place dedicated to practicing yoga, which is the small circular square surrounded by greenery.

Yulian cleared her throat and sincerely gave a look to the ladies first: "Gufangyuan can have today, all thanks to the ladies." ”

The ladies were happily waiting for the princess to continue.

"The steward in the Qingcai Palace, these bamboo furniture made for me are really beautiful and practical; and the gardener of the lady concubine turned out to be a skilled craftsman, who built the pavilion firmly and beautifully; And the big guys helped me raise so many materials, and I am truly grateful. ”

"Princess, don't say polite words anymore, the garden has also improved, please start the class immediately and teach it officially!" Wen Meiren is the most rectal, and her temperament is also anxious.

"Okay, in order to thank all the ladies and girls, from today onwards, I will open a yoga class in Gufang Garden, teaching for free, if you need it, please sign up at the pearl office."

Needless to say, all the ladies are here for yoga!

On the square, rectangular soft mats have already been placed for the ladies to practice yoga.

After everyone sat down, Yulian cleared her throat and said, "Everyone first adjust their breathing, relax and inhale, and exhale; Relax and inhale and exhale ......"

Yulian saw that everyone had adjusted their breathing to the most even state and said: "Don't underestimate this adjustment of breathing, all the basic classes of yoga start with breathing exercises, adjust your breathing, calm your mind, and help the next yoga movements to unfold." ”

"Come, start the first pose, prayer pose: stand upright, hands in front of your chest, arms and elbows naturally spread and level, raise your head and chest, calm your mind, let yourself be in a state of tranquility of mental concentration, inhale, exhale."

Yulian said this, looking at the unique scenery in the garden, smelling the aroma of medicinal herbs, and thinking that it would be more perfect if there was some tactful, soft and soothing music at this moment.

"Guqin, ladies who can play the guqin, can be assisted by the sound of the piano, and the effect is better." Yulian suddenly burst into her mouth.

"In addition to the queen in the palace, only Qingcai has the best piano skills, so I can only ask her to play." Wen Meiren is the most fast-talking.

"But I, I also want to practice yoga!" Qingcai was extremely reluctant, and his little mouth pouted.

"Concentrate on your practice! I'll play the harp for you. ”

Suddenly, the queen's gentle voice came, and as soon as everyone turned their heads, the queen appeared at the gate of the back garden.

After all the ladies saw the queen, they said in unison: "How dare you bother the queen." ”

"I haven't played for a long time, and if I don't practice again, I'll be rusty." The queen smiled and immediately ordered the palace maid to fetch the harp.

Everyone practiced yoga again while waiting for the person who took the piano.

The piano was finally taken, the queen stroked the piano in the pavilion, and the ladies practiced yoga in the square with the gentle sound of the piano.

Yulian was stunned.

She suddenly envied Emperor Xuanyuan: other people's harems are all conspiracies, conspiracy, palace fights, and competition for favor.

However, Emperor Xuanyuan's harem was warm and harmonious, and the queen actually personally played the piano for the concubines.

Yulian was really drunk, so she tried her best to teach her girls to practice yoga.

After a month of this, by mid-April, the queen would no longer practice yoga, and Yulian was very worried about her.

As he was talking, Jade came, saying that the queen would not come over for the past few days, saying that she wanted to accompany the emperor, and the emperor was worried about state affairs these days, and the queen did not dare to come out to play the piano and exercise without authorization.

"The emperor has always been old and heavy, what is it that makes him annoyed?" After Jade left, Yulian asked Pearl casually.

I heard the elder brother of the forbidden army who was guarding the gate say: "This year, the locust plague in the whole country is serious, and the seedlings have been eaten by locusts. ”

Ah, so serious!

The people live on food, and almost all the crops are eaten, and the emperor must be worried.

So, of course, the queen can't come out for happy entertainment and fitness.

Yulian was sullen and couldn't arouse her interest, so she wandered around the garden alone.

Wandering around, Yulian suddenly thought about it, and shouted as she ran: "Pearl, we can't eat duck meat in the future." ”

"Ahh So what kind of meat to eat? Pearl didn't understand why Yulian suddenly said that she wouldn't eat duck meat.

Yulian ran back to the room panting and wrote a letter to the guards, asking the guards to send it to the queen as soon as possible.

After doing this, Yulian's heart calmed down a little, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that the class time had been a long time, and it was estimated that other girls also had some scruples, and they should not come for these two days.

The lonely garden was deserted all of a sudden, and Yulian stayed in the room, thinking about her thoughts.

Suddenly remembered that Qinglian and them came, during this time to repair the garden, teach the ladies to practice yoga, so busy that they rarely thought of the floating jade country.

Yulian thought about it, so she reached under the pillow, it was empty, and when she touched it again, it was still empty.

The small box given to her by Queen Duanmu was missing, and Qinglian hurriedly looked through the boxes and cabinets, but there was still no one.

Strange, it stands to reason that the people in Gufang Garden will never take it, in the past few months, they have kept their duties and will not steal the hairpin.

It's even more impossible for all the girls, whose jewelry is more valuable than the gorgeous Yulian, and you can't afford to take a white hosta for yourself!

Where did the hairpin go? Yulian was puzzled, this was the only thought her mother gave.

Yulian was even more depressed, and she walked out of the room to find Xiaoyuanzi.

"Xiao Yuanzi, help me make a wooden sword!"

Yulian gestured the length of the sword, and Xiao Yuanzi immediately did so.

Inside the Xuanyuan Palace.

The queen came to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that when she was a child, an old man said: One year there was a locust plague, and the crops in many places were eaten, but only one family was saved. ”

"Oh, why is that!" Xuanyuan Xuanling naturally knew that the queen was definitely not here to tell stories at this time.

"Because that family raised dozens of mallard ducks and ate all the locusts that flew in."

"You're saying that ducks are natural enemies of locusts." Xuanyuan Xuanling understood it immediately, and without delaying for a moment, he went to the imperial study to deal with it.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and took the jade to the Lonely Fang Garden.

"Thank you princess for your advice, I have already told the emperor."

The queen has been worrying with the emperor for the past few days, but now that things have taken a turn for the better, her mood has relaxed a lot.

"The queen didn't say what I said, right?" Yulian's worries were unnecessary, and of course the queen would not say.

"Why can't you just say it's your plan?"

"The queen doesn't know, I deceived the emperor, I'm afraid he won't believe me." Yulian said with a wry smile.

"Even if the ducks can eat the locusts, but most of the seedlings are eaten, what will happen in the second half of the year?"

The queen began to worry again.

"That's fundraising, anyway, there are so many rich people, ask each of them to donate some, there is a lot of power in numbers." Yulian thought to herself, after the catastrophe, isn't it all like this?

"Alas, there are, but every time they can't raise too much, everyone cries poor." The queen sighed.

"I'd better go back first, clean up some of the jewelry, and be a little more careful."

"Queen, wait."

Yulian grabbed the queen: "Just these jewelry, girls, it's a drop in the bucket!" Why don't we have a auction and raise money? ”

"Auction, what's it?" The Empress heard of this meeting for the first time.

"It is to buy the queen's jewelry to others, and the one with the highest price will get it!"

"Who will buy my jewelry at a high price?" The queen was still puzzled.

"Didn't you just say that those rich people cry poor? Of course, they are poor, because the money is in the hands of the ladies at home, so let's buy the jewelry and other items to these ladies! Yulian's eyes flowed, and she thought about it again.

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that my jewelry plus other mother's is not much!"

"Niangniang, is there anything our emperor is best at?"

Yulian suddenly remembered the handsome and stunning emperor, and he must have many fanatical fans.

The queen didn't know why Yulian suddenly asked this, but she still answered truthfully: "The emperor is good at six arts, and he is best at playing the flute and swordsmanship." ”

Yulian thought to herself, of course it is impossible to ask the emperor to play the flute and dance the sword to raise funds!

"Does the emperor have any hobbies, such as collecting collections or something!" Yulian asked in a different way.

"The emperor likes to collect inkstones the most, as well as fans." The queen blurted out.

"That's right, you can persuade the emperor and ask him to take some of them out, and I guarantee that they can be auctioned for a sky-high price."

Of course, Yulian dared to say so: for a while, Emperor Xuanyuan's collection must be extraordinary; The second is that such an outstanding person will definitely have many admirers, and when they see his collection, they will definitely flock to it!

Yulian suddenly realized that Xuanyuan Xuanling had such a high evaluation in her mind.

Except, he's an emperor!

Because, the emperor is destined to have three palaces and six courts, and there are too many women.

Yulian retracted her thoughts, told the queen the details of the auction in detail, and made a more detailed plan for the queen.

The queen patiently read it, and it was still possible to operate like this, and she was even more amazed by Yulian's plan.

After the queen went back, she showed the plan to her younger brother, and Dongfang exclaimed: "O business wizard! It's doable, it's completely doable. ”

"But I'm worried about the emperor, and I'm reluctant to auction his treasures." The queen was completely unsure in her heart.

"If you don't try, how do you know that your brother-in-law doesn't agree?"

Dongfang thought to himself, he could finally see the uncomfortable expression of the emperor's brother-in-law.
