After the wine reached the half-tour, Cixi happily said: "Today, October 10th, the mourning family celebrates with the heavens and celebrates, and is very happy, and promotes the Dunyi Imperial Concubine to the Dunyi Rongqing Imperial Concubine, the Yu Concubine to the Yu Guifei, the Xun Concubine to the Xun Concubine, the Jin Concubine to the Jin Concubine, and the Zhen Concubine to the Zhen Concubine. ”

Everyone in the harem stood up and bowed and thanked him.

Zai Xiangfu said with a smile: "Today was originally Lafayette's birthday, but I never thought that they would be wiped out together." ”

Cixi leaned on her body and said slightly drunk: "The so-called Tongqing should be so," after speaking, she was silent for a long time, and then said, "A few days ago, the mourning family also received a lot of congratulatory gifts, among which the most comfortable thing for the mourning family is a copy of the "Bamboo Bird Picture" sent by Concubine Jin. ”

A meaningful smile appeared on Zaiyan's face, "Lafayette is talking about the flower and bird painting left by Song Huizong?" ”

Cixi nodded slowly and said, "Exactly." ”

Zai Xiang said "oh", his tone was full of doubts, but his mouth seemed to be ordinary: ""Bamboo Bird Picture" is one of the representative works of Song Huizong's freehand painting. ”

Not to mention Zaiyan, even I myself was a little confused by Cixi's unprovoked appreciation.

Longyu had a strange look on his face, and asked lightly: "But the minion's mandarin duck lotus petal pattern golden bowl is not in line with Lafayette's wishes?" ”

Cixi smiled and said: "The golden bowl you sent is richly decorated, with two layers of relief lotus petals, the upper layer is embedded with carved mandarin ducks, parrots, wild geese, roe deer, foxes, and deer, and the lower layer is made of honeysuckle grass, ruyi cloud head, and the bottom of the inner abdomen is engraved with treasure phase flowers, all of which are well-intentioned heads, and the mourning family also likes it, but it is inevitably cheesy, and it is not as thoughtful as the treasure concubine's personal embroidery "Bamboo Bird Picture". ”

I hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "The slave only thinks that there is nothing that Lafayette can not get if he wants something like gold and jade, so he thinks about it and puts some mind into it, maybe it will be good." ”

Cixi looked at me with a smile and asked, "The mourning family saw that your picture was finely embroidered with stitches and the picture was lifelike, and the emperor also said that this picture was not easy to imitate, so he was even more curious about how long did you spend this child here?" ”

I lowered my eyebrows and said respectfully: "More than half a month." ”

Cixi had a peaceful look on her face, "There is more than half a moon," and nodded, "Yes, thanks to your filial piety, it is no wonder that the emperor likes you so much, who doesn't like sensible people?" ”

I could probably hear the meaning of Cixi's words, but I didn't want to pay attention to it, so I had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and said: "The filial piety of the slave is also the emperor's intention, and I really don't dare to accept these words of praise from Lafayette alone." ”

Cixi let out a "hmm" and turned her head to look at Zaiyan, "In that case, why didn't the emperor say a word?" ”

Zai Yan snorted: "After all, it is still Concubine Zhen's clever mind, I just happened to say a mouthful in front of Concubine Zhen one day and didn't take it to heart, but in the end she took it to heart, and even returned Lafayette's pure filial piety for me." ”

Cixi chuckled and said, "This is clear," her gaze swept over Long Yu's face again, "Empress, you still have to learn more from Concubine Zhen in serving the emperor." ”

Although Longyu's voice was calm, he said, "Yes." But her eyes flew at me like a flame.

I felt a burning heat in my pupils, so I hurriedly closed my jaw.

Cixi waved her hand at me.

I returned to my seat and continued to taste the famous wine, chewing the heat, the Chinese feast in the autumn twilight, the flying coat blowing the clouds and rain, fluttering like an orchid and emerald, graceful like a swimming dragon, the skirt drew an obsessive arc, rotating on the edge of loneliness, the pavilion and green cover, the Ying Ying Sujing, the ice curtain was half-covered, the bright and chaotic falling, the wind blew through, the moon shadow was miserable, the dew was scattered, dancing like a sad and arrogant finch, the body tossed and turned. Although the wine is sweet and very good in the throat, I didn't expect the Western wine of this year to have such a big stamina, but after three glasses of belly, the face was hot and hot, and the head was dizzy, only to hear the sound of many people talking and laughing in the ears, it was probably the time when everyone was in the highest interest in wine, but after instructing Ziyu a few words, he quietly helped Bai Ge to leave the table and went out thinking about changing into thin silk clothes, and then turning around a little to sober up.

Ying'er and Que'er have already prepared an urn of Biluochun and a replacement of clothes in the warm pavilion, although the Taihe Hall is much more empty than the others, but it can't hold dozens of people to drink and have fun together, the hot air circle is in it, it is difficult to disperse for a long time, and the three layers of clothes that comply with the regulations are not breathable, and the close-fitting underwear has long been suffocated to the wet and sticky on the back, and it is uncomfortable to be tight.

There are all kinds of things here, all of them are of the highest quality, specially for the concubines and their relatives to rest in wide clothes, Gao Wanzhi and Chang Tai saw me come in, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand me wet silk and tea. I took the teacup and took a sip of it, then relieved myself and said, "Even in the weather in October, people can't help but wear so many pieces. ”

Gao Wanzhi said with a smile: "There are many people in the Taihe Palace, and you have to drink for entertainment, no wonder the little master is hot." ”

I said softly: "Today Lafayette is the protagonist, where is my turn to entertain." ”

Gao Wanzhi said with a smile: "No wonder the little master deliberately changed into Yunlan-colored clothes before going out today. ”

I took the wet silk and wiped my sweat and said: "Today, except for Lafayette, everyone is a supporting role, and the supporting role is originally a foil to the protagonist, how can I steal the limelight from the protagonist instead." ”

Ying'er changed my clothes for me, and said quickly: "How can there be any right and wrong in the Forbidden City that can be avoided if you want to?" ”

Gao Wanzhi said: "No matter what, it's always good for the little master to be careful." The tree is a big move. ”

I glanced at Ying'er, "You're getting bolder now." ”

Que'er said: "If you want to say that the most courageous slave in the Forbidden City can be regarded as Li Anda, he was able to be three hours late in front of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, thinking that it would be great to have Lafayette's support, and he could do whatever he wanted, and in the end, he didn't suffer forty boards." Galeries Lafayette can't help it. Therefore, it is not possible to make people think that our little master is also a person who does whatever he wants by relying on the emperor's favor, and some things must be avoided and be careful. ”

I smiled and said, "That's a good point." Li Lianying and I must not be the same kind of people. ”

Changing into a blue palace dress, Que'er asked with a smile: "Does the little master want to return to the table?" ”

I thought for a while and said, "I estimate that there is still a long time before the end of the feast, the air inside is really muddy and stuffy, since it has already come out, it is better to go outside for a while and then go back," he said, and took Bai Ge's hand, "You all guard here first." ”

The air outside is really fresher than in the Taihe Palace, blowing a cool breeze, and really dissipating some heat, unconsciously has walked into the imperial garden, strange stone Luobu, beautiful trees are verdant, ancient cypress vines, are hundreds of years old, the garden is decorated with interest. The colored stone roads in the garden are carefully paved with pebbles of different colors, forming at least hundreds of different patterns, including characters, flowers, scenes, dramas, allusions, etc., which are interesting to watch along the road. Bai Ge accompanied me to appreciate the ancient plants, and looked at a few patterns, which was really interesting, and I didn't want to go back to the table more and more, so I went further while watching and appreciating it.
