Chapter 73: The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Today's Queen Mother is a treasure, and the saint is a great filial son, and the Queen Mother's words can basically be said to be obedient.
If the saint is a figure above ten thousand people, then the queen mother is a figure above the saint.
This Lafayette is not dared to provoke on weekdays, if he provoked her, it would be a more terrible thing than provoking the current saint to anger Long Yan.
Therefore, people respect the Queen Mother, for fear of being a little disrespectful, and no one dares to disobey this Lafayette.
This Lafayette is an existence that will tremble in the whole capital when he moves his feet, who dares to be disrespectful?
Therefore, this birthday banquet is also extremely huge, whether it is the characters in the palace or the outside, dignitaries and nobles are invited to participate in Lafayette's birthday banquet.
The Qu family, as a big family, is of course among the invited.
Qu Huasheng and Qu Youlian, as well as the three of General Qu, in order not to let Lafayette pick out anything, so they set off early.
They thought they were going early enough, but when they went, they found that there were already a lot of people present.
Lafayette is on the throne, and the throne on the left is vacant.
Next to Lafayette's right hand is the position of His Royal Highness the Prince, where Yuwenyi has come, Yuwenyi and the Queen Mother are talking there, I don't know what to say, causing Lafayette to laugh all the time there.
Slowly, there are more and more people, more and more people, and the originally huge hall is full of people at this moment, and it seems to be a little full.
It's just that I don't know why, the emperor didn't come, and Yuwentuo hasn't come yet.
My father was talking with other ministers, and he was having a good time.
Qu Youlian sat next to Qu Huasheng, but Qu Huashang didn't want to talk to Qu Youlian, so she didn't overdo it and didn't go to see her.
Qu Huasheng is not very familiar with the young ladies and sons of other ministers, and she has never liked such a lively occasion, if it weren't for Yuwen Tuo here, it is estimated that she would not have come today.
So Qu Huashang is really a little bored here, and she doesn't know what to do.
"Didn't you go down a long time ago? Why hasn't the emperor come yet? Lafayette waited a little anxiously and looked at the little eunuch next to him.
The little eunuch saw Lafayette's slightly warm expression, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to spare his life.
"The slave doesn't know, the emperor may have official business, so it's delayed."
Lafayette did not hear a satisfactory answer, waved his hand, and asked the slave to retreat, and the slave was frightened and hurried away.
Sensing that Lafayette was in a somewhat anxious mood, Yu Wenyi hurriedly beckoned, and someone outside seemed to hear the order, and eight people walked in carrying a large box.
"What is this?" Galeries Lafayette was a little curious.
"Today is your birthday banquet for the imperial grandmother, and this is a gift from the imperial grandson."
"Looking at my father's appearance, I shouldn't be able to come for a while, if the emperor's grandmother can't wait, you can start first, while looking at the gifts sent by the people below, while waiting for the father, wouldn't it be wonderful."
Lafayette didn't seem to have much interest in gifts, after all, he had lived in this palace for so many years, what kind of rare treasures he hadn't seen, and how could there be any pearl treasures that could capture his heart.
At this annual birthday banquet, most of the people below gave similar objects, and she was already tired of these things, and some of them were thrown directly into the warehouse for confiscation without even looking at them.
Someone also sent the gift just now, and she asked the minions to take it and write it down, and picked a few things to keep proudly, and the rest had been thrown into the storeroom at this time.
As for the one that was not sent to the warehouse, it didn't actually win her heart, but it wasn't too bad.
Every year's birthday is just as boring, but this year it's even more boring.
It seemed that he noticed that Lafayette did not have much interest, and Yu Wenyi hurriedly approached the interest of Lafayette.
"Imperial grandmother, this year's gift has been studied by the imperial grandson for a long time, and it will definitely be able to please you, if you don't believe it, just take a look."
Sure enough, Lafayette seemed to be aroused by Yu Wenyi's words, and Lafayette laughed and ordered the people below to open it.
"Then open it and take a look, I want to see what kind of thing can make my emperor and grandson so praised."
At this time, everyone in the hall had already been curious because of the big box that the eight people carried in, and they heard the conversation between Yuwenyi and Lafayette, and the people in the hall held their breath and watched the people below open the box, all wanting to see what kind of things were inside.
Under the gaze of all the people, the large box, which could only be carried by eight people, was slowly opened, revealing the golden light inside.
Qu Huashang also looked at the box, probably because it was relatively close, when the box was just opened, the golden light shining inside almost flashed Qu Huashang's eyes.
However, as the box was opened little by little, the contents completely entered everyone's eyes, and everyone found out what kind of thing it was.
It was a brocade, a very large brocade, and the eight people who had just carried the box in could barely stretch out the brocade, revealing the appearance of the brocade.
Because this brocade is prepared like a painting scroll, and the person slowly rolls it open, and the people in this hall can also see what is embroidered on the brocade.
If you're familiar with Kyoto, you'll be able to see it.
This brocade is embroidered with nothing else, but the whole of Kyoto.
And the embroidery is extremely detailed, and it can be said that almost every detail has been embroidered.
The characters in it are also lifelike, and colorful silk threads are used in it to make the characters more vivid.
And this brocade seems to be buried in it with golden silk threads to make the bottom layer, so when it is opened, it almost flashes Qu Huashang's eyes.
This is a big project, and it is by no means something that can be completed in ten days and half a month.
This embroidery is by no means something that ordinary people can do, looking at the huge project is not something that can be completed by one person at all, not to mention a dozen people to complete it together, and it will take a long time to be able to do it.
After all, this brocade is really big, it can almost be said to cover half of the hall, and eight people can barely hold it open.
Let's not talk about this embroidery, but let's talk about the layout and the understanding of Kyoto.
You have to know how much you know about this, and how meticulously you observe Kyoto, to make everything so perfect.
This is not something that can be done in ordinary ways.
It's quite possible that this is something that has already been done and will take a year to make.
Such a thing is indeed more precious than the pile of tacky gold and silver treasures, not only high-end, but also low-key luxury has connotations.
Lafayette's face, which had never been touched by anything, also appeared with a smile and praise.
"Yes, yes, the emperor is really hearted, it must have taken a lot of effort."
"Where is it, there is no effort to make things for the imperial grandmother."
"What's more, this is the birthday of the imperial grandmother, which is originally a thing that should be celebrated, and it should be celebrated with any kind of good thing."
Yu Wenyi got up and walked in front of Lafayette as he spoke, took his hand seriously and bowed.
"I wish the imperial grandmother, blessings like the East China Sea, and prosperity of the sun and the moon. Pine crane Changchun, spring and autumn are not old, ancient and rare, joy is long, blessing and Tianqi, blessing is like the East China Sea, long life is 100 years old, and the years are safe. ”
Yu Wenyi's mouth, deceiving an eighty-year-old lady and coaxing a three-year-old child, this mouth is full of witty words, and the words he says can make people feel happy.
Although most of them are unintentional lies.
However, it is obvious that Lafayette is very useful to what Yu Wenyi said just now, and his face is constantly smiling.
"You have a lot of tricks, and you have the most words to say."
"Actually, on a good day like the emperor's grandmother's birthday today, I hope that other good things can happen, but this matter must be discussed with the emperor's grandmother."
Hearing Yu Wenyi say such a thing, Qu Weilian, who had been staring at the situation on Yu Wenyi's side, pricked up his ears.
The prince's brother said that he would ask the queen mother to marry him personally at the queen mother's birthday banquet.
Thinking about the good thing that the prince's brother is talking about now, it should be this thing.
Qu was a little excited in her heart, and a little excited.
Xu has been staring at the situation on Yuwenyi's side, and seeing that Xu and Lafayette have been going around for a long time, and finally about to talk about today's focus, Xu is also a little excited.
As for Qu Huashang, she was eating her own snacks, but when she heard Yu Wenyi say this, she looked at Qu Sorrow and pity next to her who couldn't hide her excitement, and intuitively felt that something was about to happen.
I don't know what these people are planning, but it's definitely something very interesting.
Qu Huashang supported her face with her arms and watched the play quietly.
However, Qu Huashang never thought of it, she originally planned to watch the play, but she didn't expect that she was also calculated into the play, and when she heard what Yu Wenyi said next, Qu Huashang almost didn't choke herself.
Because what Yu Wenyi said to Lafayette turned out to be.
"Imperial grandmother, the second lady of the Qu family, Qu is worried and merciful, I want to be included in the mansion as a side wife."
"And... The eldest lady of the Qu family is both civil and military, beautiful and natural, and she has won my heart, and I want to marry the eldest lady of the Qu family as my crown princess. ”
