Chapter 209, the thirtieth birthday of Concubine Xian
In the blink of an eye, it is already the wax moon that is getting colder and colder, and Yao Jiaxin's thirtieth birthday has finally arrived.
To be honest, Yao Jiaxin really doesn't want to celebrate this birthday.
It's a pity, I want to know that it doesn't work. Now she is the virtuous concubine who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, she is not as pregnant as last year, she can't make a fuss, and she is not like the old nobleman who fell out of favor like the year before last, and no one paid attention.
Even His Majesty the Fourth Master wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to give her a good birthday.
"After all, this is a full life." His Majesty the Fourth Master emphasized so.
In the eyes of course, the whole birthday is indeed quite an important birthday, nitrogen ...... Thirty years old...... She has become a middle-aged and elderly woman of thirty years old completely, o(╥_╥)o
If it were in modern times, she would rather have this birthday!
The woman is thirty years old, and she has a woolen birthday! Do you remind yourself to grow old again and again?
How sad it is, can't you pretend not to know that my thirtieth birthday is coming?!
Alas, life is melancholy.
"This is the guest list drawn up by the concubine, please take a look at the concubine's sister." Concubine Ning smiled and handed over a slip.
Yao Jiaxin only glanced at it, and couldn't help but be speechless, this invitation list couldn't help but include all the concubines of the Six Palaces except for Qi Concubine and Xi Changzai, all the wives above the Duchess of Fuguo in the clan, as well as all the princes and wives in Beijing, as well as Yao Jiaxin's mother's family and maternal ancestor and daughters!
"That's too much!" Yao Jiaxin's head was big.
Concubine Ning said with a smile: "The emperor has spoken, my sister's thirtieth birthday has to be handled well, how dare the concubine slack?" ”
As soon as she heard the word "big birthday", Yao Jiaxin had a toothache, "When I'm forty years old, let's talk about big birthday!" ”
Concubine Ning said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that it will be called 'Qianqiu' when the time comes." ”
As soon as the word "Qianqiu" came out, Yao Jiaxin was also startled! The queen's birthday is a thousand autumns, corresponding to the longevity of His Majesty the fourth master. Concubine Ning really hates the queen and wants to die!
Yao Jiaxin immediately glanced at Concubine Ning: "Even if the matter is private, this kind of thing can't be declared!" ”
Concubine Ning smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Xian is also too cautious. The Empress had returned to the palace to recuperate, and the Emperor clearly intended to stay in the garden for the New Year. The queen has lost her power, but she is just a sick seedling. As long as the queen is killed, Concubine Xian can ascend to the throne.
Yao Jiaxin sighed, glanced at the list of personnel again, and said: "Forget about those princesses, there is no need to invite so many clan wives, just invite the fortunes and daughters of the nearby branches." ”
Although Concubine Ning felt that Concubine Xian was too cautious, she still obeyed the order, and even deleted half of the guests on the list, so she sent out the invitations one by one.
Although the special is deleted, there are still more than 20 tables of banquets, and the front hall and middle hall of her Bitong Academy are added up, and after a little estimate, the place is quite enough.
In a blink of an eye, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Yao Jiaxin got up early in the morning, and just after dressing up, Zhang Qilin, the former head of the palace, came to Bitong Academy with a rich gift.
"The emperor's dictation: Concubine Xian takes care of the six palaces hard, and today is the joy of her birthday, she is specially given ten gold satin horses, ten gold dragon robes embroidered with colorful satin, twenty makeup satins, thirty silk silks, one hundred gold ingots of longevity, two hundred silver ingots of Ruyi, a set of gold inlaid coral top circles, a set of gold tired silk heads, a pair of golden Zhai birds, a plate of coral pearls, and a plate of lapis lazuli pearls......"
Zhang Qilin raised his voice and read the reward, and the eunuchs with quick hands and feet carried silk and jewelry to the hall in waves, and in a blink of an eye, Yao Jiaxin's palace was already exquisite.
Her eyes widened, His Majesty the Fourth Master is really generous this time!
After reading the gift, Zhang Qilin smiled and said: "Concubine He Xian's mother's happiness, the emperor said, when the Fangchen birthday banquet is over here, the emperor will come to accompany Niangniang again." ”
After all, there are a large number of clan women among the people she invites, and it is not appropriate for foreign women to face the king. In the Qing Dynasty, the distinction between men and women was very strict, except for the family banquet, all banquets had to be separated from men and women, and the slightly older princes had to go to the banquet of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, His Majesty the Fourth Master can only wait for the banquet to end and then accompany her for her birthday.
Yao Jiaxin thanked the reward with a smile, and gave Zhang Qilin another happy money, then closed the door and hurriedly asked someone to open the three rosewood boxes containing gold and silver bills.
As soon as the box was opened, the gold and silver suddenly shook, and it almost blinded Yao Jiaxin's titanium alloy dog eyes!
The gold coin is engraved with the word longevity, all of which are five taels, and this box is five hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to five thousand taels of silver - this is the official exchange rate, in fact, like this full of red gold, one tael can be exchanged for at least fifteen taels of silver.
And the other two boxes are Ruyi pattern silver bills, one ingot weighs ten taels, and two hundred ingots are two thousand taels.
His Majesty the Fourth Master seems to really know that she lacks real money, and she gave so much at once! She is now a virtuous concubine, and she is also in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, if it weren't for the support of Princess Huaike's reparation ceremony, I am afraid that it would have been sold out long ago.
Tsk, as soon as His Majesty the Fourth Master made a move, it was really inhumane!!
Not to mention the other satin jewelry, the total value will not be less than 20,000 taels of silver.
Rich, rich!
Yao Jiaxin was about to drool.
This birthday is so worth it!!
At this time, Wang Yicheng walked in quickly, and said to Qian'er: "Niangniang, the internal and external women have already arrived, please go to the front hall to ascend to the seat." - The inner women are the harem concubines, and the outer women include the princesses who have been married, the nobles of the clan, the princesses, the ladies of the palace, and so on.
Yao Jiaxin had to hurriedly restrain her look like a fan of wealth, and under the service of Su Yu and others, she changed into a luxurious court dress and came to the front hall with a dignified demeanor.
The wide front hall of Bitong Academy is already full of people, and all the women inside and outside are wearing the most dignified court clothes, waiting for the arrival of the virtuous concubine.
Yao Jiaxin had no choice but to put on a full aura, walked up to the Sumeru platform step by step, and sat on the red sandalwood Ruyi throne.
"See Concubine Xian! May the mother enjoy forever and be healthy! ”
Everyone bent their knees and congratulated in unison, this scene was still very magnificent.
Yao Jiaxin raised her hand to help, "No courtesy, let's all take a seat!" ”
The seats of the inner and outer wives were arranged early in the morning, and everyone took their seats in an orderly manner. Among the concubines, the concubines are headed by Mao Concubine, Ning Concubine, and Yu Concubine, and among the clan women, Prince Yi Fujin Zhaojia is the leader, and the Fourteen Fujin are second, and the rest are all ranked according to their grades. This arrangement can be regarded as giving the Fourteenth Fujin a great deal of face - after all, the Fourteenth Master Yunyu is still a bald brother.
After taking a seat, the delicacies and fish were served on the table, and the silk and bamboo orchestra also sounded.
Concubine Mao claimed to be a senior, so she took the lead in standing up, picked up the wine cup, and smiled: "Today's birthday of the virtuous concubine is happy, and the concubine wishes the mother a healthy body and a long life." ”
