Jian Yue knew that this was a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager with her sleeves, so she didn't dare to slack off, so she went down to cook it herself. Here in autumn, I am waiting for my sleeves to change my clothes and makeup.

"Today, wear that plum pink silver rat piping jacket, the one in the relics is too plain, and the queen mother doesn't like it when she sees it." Autumn Road.

Huai Sleeve didn't pay attention to Chuan Qiu's words because he was thinking about something else in his heart, so he nodded casually, and Chuan Qiu went to find it and dressed Huai Sleeve properly.

I also picked out a butterfly love flower of rose gold inlaid jade and a pair of hibiscus jade earrings for the sleeve to wear, looked carefully for a moment, saw that the sleeve wrist was still empty, thought about it for a while, quietly glanced at the sleeve, and the corner of the lips pulled out a smile.

Lian Qiu opened the drawer, took out a pair of jade bracelets from the inside, and was about to put them on his sleeves, when Jian Yue walked in from outside and replied: "I am ready for the girl's call, if the girl is ready here, I will go and see if there is anything wrong." ”

Huai Sleeve was originally thinking about this in his heart, but when he heard Jian Yue say this, he reached out and took the bracelet in Jian Qiu's hand and hurriedly put it on his wrist, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." With that, he went to the study with Jian Yue.

When I walked into the study, I saw that there were three stacks of scriptures carefully wrapped in red velvet on the desk, and I looked at it carefully with my sleeves, and saw that the ribbon on it was very delicate, and I knew that it was done by Jian Yue herself.

More than 100 longevity characters embroidered on the ribbon are embroidered with gold thread, which is brilliant and exudes joy.

The fingers of the sleeves stroked those longevity characters, and smiled gently to Jian Yue, who was standing beside him: "The embroidery is so exquisite, and only you can do such a job, you have worked hard these days." ”

Jian Yue said with a smile: "This is a gift from our yard, and I should do my best, besides, what is my hard work?" It's a far cry from the hard work you had to spend all your nights copying the scriptures. ”

Everything was prepared safely, and Lian Bi came to spread the word that breakfast had been set, and Huai Sleeve went to the front hall with Jian Yue and Lian Bi.

Xiaozhuang is quiet, most of the time on weekdays chant and worship the Buddha, only on the New Year's Day with the emperor, the prince and all the Beizi Baylor, concubines and princesses have a lively time.

In addition, even on the day of his birthday, although the emperor had the intention to set up a banquet to celebrate, Xiaozhuang insisted on refusing, only under the order, in the Cining Palace to celebrate simply, and first promulgated the decree, unless the emperor's relatives, the former ministers are not allowed to go to the Cining Palace to celebrate their birthdays and give gifts.

Xiaozhuang naturally knew that the annual income of those ministers was limited, and the annual festival was approaching, so that the place of silver gradually increased, and she was added to this item, and there was no need to find compensation from the side, so the embezzlement and wealth were born from this, so they issued a special decree every year before their birthdays to admonish the hundred officials.

Therefore, on the day of Xiaozhuang's birthday, except for a few frequent princes and belongers, the rest of the people did not leave a banquet regardless of the prince's decree or the concubine Belle, so although there was still an endless stream of people who came to congratulate the birthday, they only went back after congratulating, polite and orderly, and not noisy.

Huai Sleeve went to Cining Palace early, because he was close, and after all, he was a person who went out of Cining Palace, which was closer than the place next to him;

Second, on such an important day, thinking that Aunt Su Mala had to take care of the people before and after, and she must be very busy, she thought that she could help if she went earlier, and she could also ask Aunt Su Mala to share some of the burden.

Today's Cining Palace is really different from the past, the red lacquer carved palace lamp hangs high at the lintel, the front entrance hall and the shadow wall of the main entrance, the big longevity word that is several feet square, the bright gold, is inscribed by Kangxi Yubi himself, and the craftsmen of the palace office are called to choose the rare yellow sandalwood to be carefully carved out and hung here according to the original proportion.

Everywhere in the palace are placed to symbolize longevity of the turtle back bamboo, Nantian bamboo, lily of the valley, and all kinds of handsome pine and cypress bonsai verdant dyed blue, into the middle hall of Cining Palace, as if spring returns, and the overwhelming snow in the courtyard to form a vivid reflection, but also force the indoor flowers and plants to be particularly verdant.

Huai sleeve to Xiaozhuang kowtowed to the head of Shou, because there were a few people sitting in the East Chamber's warm pavilion to enter the palace to worship Shou, she came out to find Su Malagu.

I didn't see Su Malagu for a while, but I saw a potted banyan tree at the corner of the hall was particularly interesting, the protruding exposed rhizome actually grew into a fat doll sitting upright, and the branches and leaves on it were just like a bun of buns tied to the sky, vivid, vivid and interesting.

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but step forward and take a few more glances at the banyan tree.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me calling: "Sister Huai, you came so early!" ”

Turning around with his sleeves, he saw that it was Guan Zhaoyu, and there was a first-class merit and his Fujin standing behind him, followed by Guan Qianxiang.

It turned out that Guan Zhaoyu went out of the palace and returned to the house the day before, and this morning he entered the palace with Ama Eniang to celebrate Xiaozhuang's birthday.

Huai Sleeve first saluted with Pall and Fu Jin and Guan Qianxiang.

Fu Jin took a few steps forward, looked at his sleeves with a smile, looked up and down carefully for a moment, and said gently: "I often hear Zhao Yu praise you for how dignified and virtuous you are, and you are full of talent, but it's a pity that I was unwell at the Yuexi Palace banquet and couldn't enter the palace to see you." These days, Zhao Yu is studying with the crescent princess in the palace, and thanks to your care, this child often puts your good on his lips, saying that my heart is itching, and I am looking for an opportunity to enter the palace in person to meet, I don't want to meet today, and it is really one in a hundred! ”

After that, Fu Jin stepped forward and took his hand affectionately, took a closer look, and couldn't help but nod and smile: "It's really a rare appearance." In the future, if you have to go out of the palace to play, you will definitely come to our house to play, although our house is not as good as the palace, but it can also relieve boredom. ”

Huai Sleeve didn't say much, only smiled lightly and thanked him.

Fu Jin continued: "I heard that you are the youngest daughter of Ge Jitai, the general of Zhenguo in Northern Xinjiang, your home is far away from here, and you have no relatives to take care of you in the capital, so you are lonely, if you don't dislike it, you will use our house as your own home in the future." ”

Huai Sleeve hurriedly attached himself and thanked him: "Thank you Fu Jin for your love, Huai Sleeve is very grateful." ”

At this time, the first-class merit standing behind Fu Jin sprayed, glanced at him Fu Jin, and couldn't help but scold: "Your woman's family, you don't know anything and talk nonsense, your sister is Fu Jin, the grandson of the military department of the dynasty, Marhan, where there are no relatives." ”

When Fu Jin heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Oops! Look at my memory, I am really confused, I forgot that your sister is in the capital, I went to Fayuan Temple on the fifteenth day of last month to incense and met your sister, and we were very happy. Your sisters really look a little similar, and they are all unforgettable beauties when they meet. ”

When Huai Sleeve heard her mention her sister, a burst of warmth rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of the enthusiastic Fujin in front of her.

Duke Pall and others were impatient, and urged a few words, and Fu Jin said goodbye to his sleeves and went in to pay homage to Xiaozhuang.

Guan Zhaoyu turned around and quietly shook his arm's hand, and said in a low voice: "I'll go in and kowtow and come out to look for you!" After that, he squeezed his eyebrows a few times mischievously and walked towards the warm pavilion of the inner hall.
