Chapter 314: Congratulatory Gift
"IāI'm scared." Liu Sisi said softly, "Your Majesty is certainly kind to me now, but the reason is that he has a knot in his heart for another woman. If one day, this heart is solved, he will still return to her. ā
Chi Yun said softly: "Niangniang, Your Majesty likes you, and spoiling her is originally two different things. As an emperor, Your Majesty will not have only one woman, as long as Niangniang always makes Your Majesty like, Your Majesty will not leave. Mother, you have to believe in yourself. ā
Liu Sisi was woken up by her, thought carefully for a while, and laughed: "You're right, I think too highly of myself." Between me and Concubine Yu, Your Majesty does not need to choose. It is said that the queen and Concubine Chen are not favored, but they can still get a share of His Majesty's rain and dew. As long as I make His Majesty like it, His Majesty will come. Let him like it a little more, and come more often. ā
This principle is the same as her playing tricks in Changle Pool.
Which of those men has no wives and concubines at home, delaying them from having fun? As long as you please them, no matter how many wives and concubines there are in the family, you should still come.
Ji Yun smiled and nodded.
"Niangniang, the banquet is about to start, you should go to the main hall." The sound of Xiangxue came from outside.
Liu Sisi let out a breath, smiled at Chi Yun, and raised her voice: "Come in." ā
The palace mermaid rushed in, busy and unhurriedly preparing to start.
Liu Sisi said: "Xiangxue, you send Miss Chi back." ā
"Yes, sissy."
Liu Sisi dressed up and got on the ceremonial car outside.
Chi Yunmu saw her leave, turned his head and smiled at Xiangxue: "Miss Xiangxue, let's go." ā
The two went back along the road they came, and halfway through, they met the jade concubine's chauffeur.
They ducked aside and watched the makeup-filled Jade Concubine slowly pass in front of them.
When Yi drove away, Chi Yun said: "The Jade Concubine looks very different from before!" ā
Xiangxue echoed: "Yes! ā
Ji Yun smiled.
Sure enough, I got the hang of it!
The previous Jade Concubine, with makeup and behavior, was completely a copy of Yu Chonghua, but the Jade Concubine she saw just now only left some traces of Yu Chonghua, and the rest was herself.
Back in the side hall, Ling Yang Zhenren looked at her again and again.
Chi Yun looked calm and drank tea by himself.
Ling Yang Zhenren squeezed out a smile and said, "Senior nephew, it is inconvenient to change clothes in the palace, so it is better to drink less tea." ā
Chi Yun smiled at her: "Thank you Uncle for mentioning it." ā
As he spoke, he really put down his teacup.
Ling Yang Zhenren saw that she had a good attitude, and asked tentatively: "I don't know which lady invited her nephew over?" ā
Ji Yun glanced at her.
Ling Yang Zhenren hurriedly said: "I, I just ask casually." ā
She is really afraid, now no one supports her, but this girl has become the eldest princess's heart and soul baby, she should be honestly a turtle with a shrunken head!
After waiting for a while, the celebration began.
The voice of the master of ceremonies came from afar.
The music sounded and the colorful flags were unfurled.
Several cases continued from the palace to the outside of the palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and magnates, foreign envoys, and internal and external women celebrated in unison.
Subsequently, all parties presented congratulatory gifts.
There are all kinds of auspicious, rare birds and beasts, and rare treasures.
After round after round, he finally arrived at Chaofang Palace, and Ling Yang Zhenren smiled: "Senior nephew, let's go." ā
Chi Yun's jaw head.
The two of them were in front, and the twelve disciples were behind, holding flower pots covered with red silk, and headed for the main hall.
When they arrived at the front of the hall, the twelve disciples put down the flower pots, and Ling Yang Zhenren raised his voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your birthday, and you will present December flowers to Chaofang Palace." I wish Your Majesty a long and eternal life! ā
The envoy of the small country sitting under the corridor had never heard of the flower order, and in a strange Chinese accent, he asked the attendant on the side: "What is the December flower order?" ā
The chamberlain replied with a smile: "Back to the envoys, my country has a tradition of replacing the moon with flowers, twelve months a year, and each month has representative flowers. Plum blossoms are fragrant in January, apricot blossoms are in the shadow in February, peach blossoms are in full bloom in March, and peonies are unique in April...... This December flower order is the twelve kinds of flowers that represent the twelve months. ā
The envoy was surprised: "You mean that they are going to offer twelve kinds of flowers that bloom in different seasons?" ā
"Yes." The chamberlain looked proud, "Chaofang Palace was built for Princess Jiangyang, and now it is in charge of the eldest princess of Liyang, and it is dedicated to the god of flowers. But all flowers and plants cannot be cultivated without them. ā
When the envoys of various countries heard this, they were amazed.
It is worthy of the Celestial Empire, and it can make flowers bloom out of season.
The voice of the master of ceremonies came out of the hall: "Your Majesty has an order, yes." ā
Ling Yang Zhenren and Chi Yun both stepped aside, and the twelve disciples squatted down, untied the ropes on them, and removed the red ropes.
This unveiling, the people who were already ready to celebrate, the congratulatory voice stuck in their throats, unable to speak.
Ling Yang's originally smiling face suddenly froze the moment he saw the flower.
The envoy was puzzled and asked, "Why are all these flowers gone?" ā
But when I saw that the flowers were scattered in the twelve flower pots, most of them were thanked.
Ling Yang Zhenren panicked.
What's going on? These flowers were only taken out of the greenhouse in the morning, she checked, each one bloomed just right, this way, only two hours, why did you thank you? Impossible!
Now what? In front of so many people, wouldn't it be a great disrespect to offer flowers to the emperor who had already thanked them?
The entire Chaofang Palace is going to be unlucky!
The more panicked Ling Yang Zhenren became, his head became a mess, and he couldn't think of what to do at all.
The eldest princess in the palace, seeing this, frowned.
Is this someone making trouble?
Lingyang Zhenren has always been careful in this kind of thing, and when he leaves Chaofang Palace, these flowers must be good. So, it was broken in the palace?
Now is not the time to explore the cause, and we have to think about it to get the past done.
The eldest princess was thinking about the words when she suddenly heard a voice: "Your Majesty." ā
But it was Chi Yun who stood up.
She looked natural, stood in front of the hall generously, bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, this year's congratulatory gift still needs some effort." ā
A moment later, the voice of the master of ceremonies came from the hall: "Come quickly." ā
This is to give them a chance to make amends, after all, it is not good to make a mistake in front of foreign envoys.
Chi Yun smiled and saluted: "Yes." ā
Ling Yang Zhenren looked flustered, lowered his voice and asked, "What should I do?" ā
Chi Yun was calm and instructed, "Bring the flowers that have been thanked." ā
"Yes."
One by one, the remnants of flowers were handed to Chi Yun, and she tore off the petals without hesitation and rubbed them in her palm.
Ling Yang Zhenren smelled a faint fragrance and looked at her suspiciously.
Chi Yun rubbed it and handed the petals back to his disciple's hand.
"Sprinkle into a pot."
"Yes."
The petals are sprinkled.
Ji Yun then made a waiting pose.
What are you waiting for?
As time went on, some people couldn't wait any longer, rubbed their hands and asked, "When will this be?" Don't miss the auspicious time for the feast. ā
That is, so many people are waiting here? There are still people to give congratulatory gifts in the future!
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Look! ā
Everyone looked up and saw something black and oppressive, flying towards this direction.
