Chapter 287: Preparing for the Birthday Banquet
Lan Baobao ordered Yun Yao to remember the gifts given by the concubines, and they would still have to return the gifts at that time, in this palace, money is not used to barter, but to communicate with people, and Lan Bao now understands a little.
Every concubine who came to Yulin Palace was full of smiles, and Blue Baby had to respond with a smile all the time.
At the end of this day, the blue baby felt that the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.
Bai Fengzhi also personally gave a gift, although there was no banquet for his birthday in the spirit world, but there was also a habit of giving gifts, and Bai Fengzhi sent a white rabbit.
What kind of jewelry and treasures are given by others, but Bai Fengzhi is really different.
"Niangniang, it's almost time, the emperor told you to go to the queen mother's palace to say goodbye first, and then go to Yuluan Xianyixuan."
Yun Yao saw that it was not too early, so she reminded on the side, while helping Yunxi comb the blue baby's cloud temples together.
Then the blue baby changed into a colorful feather dress with Luanhua, with a lotus lotus purple inside, and a skirt made of purple to peacock blue below, and the pile of gold silk embroidery between the sleeves was extremely eye-catching, and a bright purple gold silk embroidery cloak was set outside.
Bai Feng stopped waiting on the side, when he saw the blue baby dressed up like this, he was really surprised by the beauty of the blue baby, today the blue baby's lips are getting thicker, the skin is more snow-white, and the peach blossoms are painted on the forehead as an embellishment, and the two appearances on weekdays.
When she came to the queen mother's palace, Lan Baobao was about to bend over when she was helped up by the queen mother: "Concubine Ling doesn't need to salute, your body is now in the palace, and you don't have to salute in the future, go and move a chair for Concubine Ling." ”
The Empress Dowager has changed her view of the blue baby since the day of Yong'an Temple, and then ordered someone to take a jade box, and then opened it gently: "This tradition left over from the previous dynasty, the concubines who have children will give this gold bracelet, and the pattern on it represents peace, keeping the mother and child safe." ”
The blue baby stepped forward to take the jade box, and the queen mother took out the gold bracelet and put it on the slender wrist of the blue baby herself.
Yan Ruoxue on the side was resentful in her heart, but in front of the Queen Mother, she had to pretend to be a mother, smiling and congratulating Lan Baobao.
"The Queen Mother, everything is ready for the emperor's side, please come over."
Chen Cheng came to inform the Queen Mother, Yuluan Xian Yixuan, the word Jade Immortal is Jin Lingluo's great praise for the blue baby, it is the venue of the banquet, I heard that the emperor really put a lot of effort into today, and invited many masters to perform here outside the palace.
Sitting on the side, the blue baby has been smiling, only the brighter the blue baby smiles, the more angry the concubines below will be, looking at the strong expressions of the concubines, the blue baby is in a very happy mood, hate, the deeper the more the ugly side of the human heart will be revealed, and the easier it is to lose the position.
"Let's go, don't let the emperor wait."
The Queen Mother got up and put her hand on the hand of the grandmother beside her, and when she walked to the side of the blue baby, the other hand came over and stroked the blue baby's Qianqianyu hand.
Seeing this, the queen on the side dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so she had to obediently follow behind the queen mother.
Coming to the door of Yuluan Xianyixuan, the ministers of the court had not yet arrived, and the blue baby went to prepare first, and the emperor wore a bright yellow gold silk embroidered dragon robe and looked at his masterpiece in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is late."
The blue baby stepped forward and bent over to give Jin Lingluo a look.
When Jin Lingluo saw that the blue baby was here, he smiled and had flowers in his eyes.
The Queen Mother and the Queen on the side went to the viewing platform to sit down.
Jin Lingluo just silently didn't speak, watching the sky bloom brightly, and then smiled and pulled to the blue baby to bring her to the center of the stage.
Suddenly, all the candles around were lit, illuminating the entire Xuan Pavilion brightly, the melodious tune sounded, and countless flowers bloomed on the stage, clustering the two of them, and the blue baby gently touched the delicate petals with his fingertips, and then the sea of flowers turned into peach blossoms and scattered around the two.
The stage is split in two, slicing to the sides, leaving only a circular platform in the middle that allows two people to stand, and then the two gradually ascend to a pool below.
At this time, two dancers dressed in rainbow costumes fell from the sky and surrounded Baby Blue and Jin Lingluo, and the graceful dancers made Baby Blue very happy.
Then the dancer turned into two fluttering colorful butterflies, which landed on Jin Lingluo's fingertips and on the fingertips of the blue baby.
The huge carp in the pool of water churned out, and the splash fell on the body of the blue baby and immediately turned into a pink light, and suddenly a green fox jumped out of the water and circled around the blue baby and Jin Lingluo.
Baby Blue not only blurted out: "Little Blue? ”
"yes, Xiaolan is back." Jin Lingluo hugged the blue baby's waist and responded softly.
For a while, the blue baby was moved speechless, and the blue baby who was surrounded by Xiaolan and the petal dancing butterflies smiled like a child, and Jin Lingluo only quietly admired the cute touch of the blue baby.
How could there be so many good-looking spells in this world, and they could actually enter the palace to perform, and the blue baby did have a trace of sigh while rejoicing.
This scene is strict and Bai Fengzhi, and the ministers are also fascinated, especially the emperor and the blue baby both standing on the high platform in the middle of the look with affection, it is really a talented woman, which makes people envious.
Then Jin Lingluo gently pulled the red ball at the top, different petals fell one after another, a red brocade stretched down, Jin Lingluo grabbed the brocade with one hand and hugged the blue baby behind him and jumped lightly, and the whole body of the blue baby flew up and flew to the viewing platform opposite.
At this time, the hearts of the Queen Mother and Chen Cheng were hanging, and they were relieved when the two of them landed safely.
Then the candlelight dimmed, and Jin Lingluo pointed to the round roof full of star maps: "I, give the baby a birthday gift, do you like it?" ”
The gemstones are set with diamonds on a gold star axis set into a starry sky made of sapphire and shimmer in the candlelight.
This is what the blue baby said at that time.
Lan Baobao excitedly covered her cherry lips with Juanpa: "The concubine naturally likes it, this is the best birthday gift the concubine has received in her life." ”
There is also a natural water moon, in which a full full moon is attached to the surface of the water.
"Your Majesty, how can there be such a scene in winter?"
Lan Baobao opened his mouth curiously, he could think of such an idea at such a time, which showed that Jin Lingluo really put his heart into it.
Jin Lingluo saw that Lan Bao was really puzzled, so he took Lan Baobao's jade hand and slowly explained: "This is a folk illusion, which can make you see everything you want to see, and the woman in the lake blue plain clothes is the most powerful illusionist in Yan Guo. ”
This illusion is enough to show the current prosperity of Yanguo, and it does not cost too much money to hold a banquet, which is Jin Lingluo's intention.
Blue Baby does not understand, is mortal illusion and witchcraft very different, when he entered here did not feel the demonic energy, although he had heard the subtlety of folk spells before, but now he saw it was extremely beautiful, this technique is willing.
Then the emperor and the blue baby went down the stairs, Jin Lingluo came to the dragon chair in front and sat down, the blue baby sat on the side, because today is the birthday of the blue baby, the queen mother and the emperor did not sit with the emperor, but sat opposite.
"Meet the emperor and congratulate Concubine Ling on her birthday."
I saw the woman in blue bow her head and salute and continued: "This thing is given to the emperor and the concubine. ”
With that, the woman waved her sleeves, and a golden dragon flew out of her sleeve, as if it were real, and everyone was so frightened that they dodged backwards, only to see that the dragon dissipated into peach-colored petals after circling around the Xuan Pavilion, floating in the air.
The dragon represents the emperor, and the flower represents the blue baby.
At this time, Jing Yan saw the appearance of the blue baby clearly, at that time, the man's outfit was already full of aura, delicate and lovely, but now he was extremely beautiful when he saw it, and Jing Yan's eyes could no longer be taken away.
Before entering the Xuan, Jing Yan handed over the congratulatory gift to the palace official who received the congratulatory gift, thinking that on the way to the banquet, the blue baby might see it when he counted the congratulatory gifts.
"Green like spring peach, white like pear blossom, no. No, I'm like you. ”
The Seventh Prince, Jin Hao, chanted the words, and slowly walked out of the crowd in a green robe, the folding fan in his hand was not twisted, and he gently lowered his palm.
"Seventh brother, such an elegant sentence should be appropriate to the time, more suitable for people, and good words."
Jin Lingluo likes the writing of the Seventh Prince, and applauds with satisfaction when he hears Jin Hao's poems, and this seventh brother does not interfere in the affairs of the DPRK and China all day long, and only lives a general life of idle clouds and wild cranes, which Jin Lingluo sometimes yearns for.
The blue baby immediately got up and made a move, after all, it is the prince, and there should be etiquette.
"Thank you for the emperor's compliment."
Jin Hao said and leaned over to salute.
Then all the ministers also came to salute and congratulate, and today's blue baby's face really amazed the entire palace, and it simply overwhelmed the queen's momentum.
"You're chasing me, oops." Just as the blue baby was about to go out, a child in white slipped and fell to the ground at the door, clutching his aching buttocks and refusing to get up.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Baby Blue slowly bent down and tried to pull the boy up, but the child looked straight at Baby Blue and froze.
The blue-clothed boy next to him went up and grabbed his arm: "Niang Niang is talking to you, what are you thinking?" ”
Only then did the boy come back to his senses, and he didn't care about the pain, so he stood up quickly, and his body straightened: "Niangniang, you look so beautiful." ”
When the blue baby heard that a child praised his beauty, he couldn't help but giggle in front of his mouth with Juan Pa: "How can you know how to be beautiful and ugly as a child, where did you learn this flattering word at a young age." ”
"I'm not a child anymore, my name is He Xiao, I'm eleven years old, I'm not flattering Niangniang, what I said is true."
He Xiao pouted unconvinced and retorted, although he was petite and looked like he was only seven or eight years old, he was a person with big ambitions.
"Oh, this kid is a little spiritual, whose child are you?" This is Jin Lingluo also walked over and spoke softly, looking at the child's appearance, but with a trace of warmth in his heart, as if he had seen the appearance of a future child.
"The person in the lake blue plain dress is our mother." He Xiao pointed to the illusionist just now and said, the illusionist is named He Jinlian, one person lives with two children, and he doesn't want the two children to grow up to be illusionists, so he only teaches some fur.
He Xiao likes to read and write, and He Yuan, who is half a year old next to him, likes to dance and snatch sticks even more.
Jin Lingluo thought, that illusionist is a powerful woman, the children under her will not be too bad, if these two children are really talented, maybe they can be brought into the palace to help the blue baby in the future.
Then he called He Jinlian over and asked calmly, "Where is your child in the academy now?" ”
I saw that He Jinlian hesitated for a moment before leaning over and speaking: "Back to the emperor, because the identity of the lower is not accepted by the people, he is only regarded as a lowly person who sells his art, and all the academies are unwilling to accept children, so they have to follow me to wander around, and only have some literacy with them at home." ”
