Chapter 5 - One Year Old (II)

Su Lian looked at the good things on the table, and couldn't help but understand, too, if the prince's brother grabbed rouge gouache or something, it would damage the royal face if it was passed out, in order to avoid this situation, it was not to let go of things that should not be caught.

Su Lian stroked the little monkey's forehead and said with a smile: "Go ahead, catch which one you like." ”

When the little monkey heard this, he immediately staggered over with joy, and the nurses Shuerdu and Margit hurriedly followed him, for fear that he would fall. Su Lian was very relieved, because there was a thick scarlet carpet on the ground, and the little monkey was dressed thickly, even if he fell, it wouldn't hurt.

However, the nurse's worries were unnecessary, and although the little monkey was not very stable, he still ran smoothly to the long table, which was specially built according to the height of a one-year-old child, and was very low, only to the shoulder of the little monkey, and he could reach the table with a slight stretch of his arm.

The little monkey straightened out his fat little hand at the most conspicuous ruby embedded in the small sword as big as a quail egg on the low table, the small sword was no more than three inches long, but it was extremely gorgeous, the whole body was red gold, bright and dazzling, in addition to the red gem like pigeon's blood, there was also a circle of round pearls around it, and the child's eyes were most likely to be pleased with bright colors, and it was reasonable to catch this thing. Su Lian even wondered if he had deliberately made the little sword so eye-catching, just to hook the little monkey to catch it.

I only heard the Queen Mother smile and said: "This child is strong, and the mourning family knows that he will definitely catch the sword!" ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly smiled: "Yes! This sword weighs eleven two or three points, and ordinary children who have just turned one year old may not have the strength to grab it even if they want to! When the eldest brother turned one year old, he also grabbed a small treasure knife! The sword is one or two halves heavier than the sword, it is twelve taels and eight points, and Hui Concubine is very proud.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a shout that seemed to be Wei Zhu outside: "The emperor has arrived-" For a while, the hall was full of people, except for the queen mother. All of them got up and knelt to greet them, and Su Lian had to squat down and kneel down with the current.

Xuan Ye came in a court dress, obviously he rushed over immediately without changing his clothes after going to the court, and the little monkey recognized Amma. Suddenly, he sprinkled his little short legs, held up the small sword and pounced on it with a smile, and grabbed Xuan Ye's thigh steadily, "Ah Ama!" Hug—"

As an emperor, in front of the public, Xuan Ye naturally has to be dignified, but the youngest son is so innocent and lovely, it really makes people can't bear to refuse! He also wanted Margit's eyes to be quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the sixth elder brother over, so as to avoid embarrassment.

Xuan Ye glanced at the hall. Only then did he take two steps forward and saluted to the Empress Dowager of Da Qian'er: "My son asked the emperor to say goodbye to the emperor's mother, and asked the emperor to wait for a long time, is it the son's." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said very kindly: "It's not too late, it's not too late!" The emperor came at the right time! Hurry up and take a seat! ”

Xuan Ye got up at this time. Shi Shiran got into the main seat, sat down, and said to the concubines and women in the hall who were bound by the number of courtesies: "Let's be free of courtesy!" ”

Brush and thank you, everyone returned to everyone, Xuan Ye's gaze slid over Su Lian's warm cheeks, and he paused for a few breaths on his son, who was holding the little sword, before going to see the concubine seat. The first thing I saw was naturally Concubine Tong, so she asked casually: "The fourth elder brother attracted cold weather a few days ago, but it was so good?" ”

Concubine Tong hurriedly got up, blessed with a blessing, and said with a smile: "Emperor Xie is worried, there is no big problem." ”

Xuan Ye's gaze swept over Concubine Xiaoniu's expectant face. Directly asked Hui Concubine again: "Baoqing can study recently?" ”

Concubine Hui was overjoyed, and immediately smiled like a flower, got up and replied: "Study hard day and night, don't dare to slack off for a day." Bao Qing once told his servants that he was not as naturally intelligent as the prince. The enlightenment was late, so he had to work harder to live up to the expectations of the emperor. ”

Xuan Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good to know how to work hard, but you, as a biological mother, should also pay more attention to his diet and daily life, don't be young and tired." ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly said yes, and Concubine Xiao Niu smiled at this time and said: "Concubine Hui has to take care of the eldest brother, and she has to raise the eighth elder brother who is not yet a month, but it is really hard, look at everyone has lost a lot of weight!" ”

Concubine Hui's eyes flashed, and then she said with an amiable smile: "It is a rare blessing to be able to give birth to a prince and raise an elder brother for the emperor, how dare you say that it is hard." "He gave birth to one himself, and raised another, which is equivalent to holding two elder brothers, full of confidence, how can he put a little concubine who has not yet been canonized, let alone born, in his eyes?

Xuan Ye didn't have much to do with the two concubines' eyes about to collide with sparks, just asked as usual, and also asked how the second princess of Rong Concubine learned to read and write, and what happened to the seventh elder brother who was raised under her knees, Rong Concubine answered one by one humbly, decently. After Concubine Rong, she was Concubine De, and finally she was Concubine Cheng, who had not been very good after giving birth, and now she was also present, Xuan Ye had to ask her a few words, but it was just a scene.

The Queen Mother smiled lovingly and said: "Now that the emperor has a rich heir, it is time to reward the six palaces." ”

The queen mother's simple words made a kind of concubine's eyes red, "reward"? What bounty? Naturally, it is the reward for the promotion of the six palaces of Dafeng!! It's a matter of status and status, I'm afraid that there is no calm person for a while, even the always steady Concubine Tong couldn't help but have her eyes shining, full of eagerness, but her mouth hurriedly said: "It is the responsibility of the concubine to extend the heirs for the emperor and take care of the elder brother, and it is also a great blessing, how dare you ask for the extravagance?" ”

This is hypocritical, but everyone is following this word, Xuan Ye listened to it, his face lifted a little impatience, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the sixth elder brother over and give me a closer look!" ”

The Margit clan hurriedly stepped forward in small steps, knelt down, and just placed the little monkey in his arms under Xuan Ye's eyes. The little monkey doesn't understand this or that, he is only satisfied with getting a beautiful plaything, holding it in his hand and showing it off, so happy!

Xuan Ye smiled and nodded, reached out and touched his son's head, and the Queen Mother smiled and said, "This kid's eyes are very sharp, and he can see that little sword at a glance." When I grow up in the future, I will definitely be a Baturu! ”

Xuan Ye said modestly: "The emperor's mother has won the award, I only hope that he will be filial and friendly, and it is enough." The mouth said so, but the tone couldn't hide the arrogant energy, Su Lian's teeth were crooked when he heard it, one of these individuals counts as one, and the duplicity is very smooth!

Since the emperor came, he finally had a banquet, and there were few songs and dances on the stage as usual, but the war had not yet been settled, and he could only be simplified, so he only came to a guqin accompaniment, and they were staggered with each other, which could be regarded as elegant.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the concubines went to toast to Xuan Ye one by one, the exquisite golden cup was only a penny, even if it was served one by one, for Xuan Ye's amount of alcohol, he was still drunk. Su Lian has the intention of being an inconspicuous person, but there are always people who don't want to make her invisible, and everyone knows that the sixth elder brother jumped out of whose belly.

The first to speak was Concubine Tong Guifei, who was very kind in front of her, raised her wine glass and said with a smile: "Sister Su, I should have a drink with you, so as to live up to the love of living in the same palace in the past!" ”

Concubine Tong said politely, but Su Lian couldn't recommend it, so she had to drink. But I didn't know that someone started, and someone followed suit, Concubine Hui quietly instructed the maid to pour wine, and was about to follow Concubine Tong to give a glass of Su Lai, but was preempted by the young Concubine Niu, only to hear the laughter of Concubine Xiaoniu, and said in a hearty tone: "I have heard of the Ussuri clan in Changchun Garden, and I have never had the opportunity to see it, so I should know it today." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and looked at Su Curtain with a smile.

Su Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet, "You're polite." And he drank it all.

Concubine Hui immediately said: "Sister Su has a good amount of wine!" As he spoke, he also picked up a full wine cup, "For the sixth elder brother, Baturu in the future, let's have another drink!" ”

The kind words of the people have been said, can Su Lian not give face? Gritted his teeth and poured another glass.

After Hui Concubine, when Yi Concubine was about to raise her glass and speak, she heard Xuan Ye suddenly say: "Yi Concubine, Sheyan Valley has been more active recently?" "——Su Lian's amount of alcohol, Xuan Ye knows that it is good to be able to withstand three glasses, and if he drinks it again, he will definitely be confused, seeing this situation, he has no choice but to take action.

Yi Concubine was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up in a panic, and Wanfu said: "Now I am a little quieter, my sister said in private, but it is similar to the second princess Xiao." ”

Concubine Rong chimed in: "The fourth princess is more well-behaved and sensible than her sister!" It can be seen that Yi Concubine and Guo Guiren have taught well. "This kind of situation, holding each other, is already a custom in the harem, not to mention that Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi have always been friends, how can they not buy her face?

The two of them were busy talking back to Xuan Ye, so naturally Concubine De took the first step to pick up the teacup, and said to Su Curtain with a smile: "I don't drink well, Sister Su don't blame me, please just take care of yourself." ”

Su Lian almost cried with joy, but Concubine De had eyesight, so she naturally wouldn't be polite, and hurriedly picked up the tea that had been cooled, just drinking the hangover.

I thought that this time, the toast was over, but Cheng Concubine Dajia, who didn't want to sit behind the concubine, suddenly stood up, holding a gold bottle, and said with a slightly far-fetched smile on her sickly pale face: "It's all the people who are mothers, and it's a joy to be a year, and it's not rude to have a full toast." ——A full drink is not rude, which means that it is rude for the concubine to replace the wine with tea? Concubine De's face instantly turned ugly.

Concubine Cheng's body has not been very good since she gave birth, just looking at her thin and thin body, you can know that she is obviously the daughter of a manchurian general, but she is so weak. It's just that the more she looks like this, the more she raises her glass, Su Lian has no excuse to refuse. Xuan Ye on the main seat couldn't help frowning, he suddenly spoke, blocking Yi Concubine and Rong Concubine, Concubine De has vision, but I didn't expect Cheng Concubine to be so uninteresting!
