Wang Shurong took it and took a look, she was also very surprised, she picked up one of the silk flowers and put it in her hand, and said to Lin Yuan sincerely: "No wonder the emperor gave you the title of 'Hui'!" Look at the dozen golden flowers on this crested silk flower, each of which is carved independently? Saying that, swaying slightly, those golden flowers trembled with Wang Shurong's wrist, and a few pink pearls hung down from the tassels, which were not ordinary round, but different sizes, and there was a sense of agility in the rows of scales.

Wang Shurong has 12 flower hairpins in the box, in addition to the golden crested hairpin, there are different carvings of peony, red plum, gardenia and other categories, the patterns are never seen before, but they are very delicate and ingenious.

Wang Shurong took them out one by one for everyone to watch, all of them were young and beautiful concubines, seeing these beautiful little things, even if they didn't like Lin Yuan in the past, they couldn't help but praise them today. Zhao Shuyuan also smiled and said: "It's a pity, these twelve pearl hairpins are all based on moon white, green daisy, coupling color, and lilac as the main colors, which are only suitable for the Queen Mother to wear, even if we want to, we can't do it." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at Zhao Shuyuan, but saw that Emperor Changning beside her was staring at a chrysanthemum hairpin, her little face was full of longing and she didn't dare to reach out to take it. The Queen Mother couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, pointed at Zhao Shuyuan and said, "Look at it, this New Year's Day is going to come and grab things from me!" Saying that, he still ordered someone to take the preserved fruit to coax Changning, and said: "If Changning likes it, go to your concubine Hui to make a few more, and pick the bright and beautiful color, and it will be worthy of you." ”

As soon as Changning heard this, his face breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Shuyuan excused herself a few words and said to Lin Yuan with a smile on her face: "I shouldn't have bothered my sister, it's just that these things are so beautiful that we can't take our eyes off." After that, he hurriedly took off the bracelet on his hand and gave it to Lin Yuan, and booked to take beads for Changning three days later.

Lin Yuan was praised by so many people for the first time, and she was a little surprised in her heart, she was not a designer, and those tricks were all stolen from the memories of her previous life. But the most important thing is the Queen Mother's liking.

Several concubines accompanied the queen mother to laugh, and they vied with each other to see the hairpin, and there was a lot of laughter in Changle Palace. After a short time, the concubines came one after another, and the last to appear at the gate of Changle Palace was the emperor's holy car and the queen's phoenix car.

Tuoba Hong and Empress Xiao came hand in hand, which is not surprising, although Empress Xiao has long fallen out of favor, but on such a special day as the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tuoba Hong will still give her enough face.

The emperor and queen are the main masters, they came to Changle Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother, and the concubines also bowed together, and the atmosphere was festive and grand. As the ceremony was completed and everyone sat down, their congratulatory gifts were also received one by one and presented in front of the Queen Mother.

Tuoba Hong, as the emperor and the son of the queen mother, was in a good mood for the New Year's holiday, and with a wave of his hand, a Huanxiu Villa covering an area of thousands of tons on the mountain behind the palace became the queen mother's. After the death of King Muwu, Tuoba Hong began to relax, and worked hard to govern the country and secure the country, and the pleasures of glory and wealth were not left behind, so that the queen mother was happy, he took out one million taels of silver from the treasury to repair the Huanxiu Villa. Of course, this is nothing, in comparison, he is still one of the more frugal emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty.

What the queen took out was a picture of a thousand cranes, the paper of the scroll was slightly worn, and the smell of Tibetan incense could be faintly smelled on it. She smiled and held it to the Queen Mother, explaining: "This is the true work of Wang Yong of the Han Dynasty, and the concubine's father only searched for it in the Huainan territory a month ago. The concubine knew that the queen mother liked ancient calligraphy and painting, and she didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so she specially offered it to the queen mother. ”

Needless to say, the meaning of the Thousand Crane Picture is that the elders of the family celebrate their birthdays, and the calligraphy and paintings of Fu Lu's longevity such as "Turtle Words" and "Thousand Crane Pictures" are the most pleasing. And the picture scroll presented by the queen is extraordinary, Zhi Ning Mama has served in the palace for a long time, she is well-informed, and when she holds the picture scroll in both hands and presents it, she can't help but praise: "I heard that this thousand crane picture has been destroyed in the war of the previous dynasty, but I don't want to see the light of day again." Wang Yong is the ancestor of flower and bird painting, but unfortunately there are very few calligraphy and paintings handed down, and this thing is too precious. ”

The things offered by the queen do not have to distinguish between true and false, especially the Tibetan incense smell on the picture scroll, which is used for embalming.

The palace people unfolded the picture scroll in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother glanced at it, smiled slightly, and said with a satisfied face: "The Queen has a heart." Although she doesn't like the queen, but for the sake of the thousand cranes, she also praised the queen rarely. Wang Yong's life and death have been 600 years ago, and his life has been bumpy and his career has not been smooth, he has been demoted many times, and finally he was convicted of raiding his home. When he raided his house, his calligraphy and paintings were looted and scattered all over the country, and after hundreds of years, most of them were destroyed, so his authentic works are very rare. It is not easy for the queen's father to find a thousand cranes among the people, which shows the queen's intentions.

After that, the congratulatory gifts of the concubines had their own merits, and there were also valuable things like carved ink jade diamonds, but they were not as valuable as the "Thousand Crane Picture". The Queen Mother accepted them one by one, and at the same time gave the New Year's gift to everyone. The Queen Mother is old, and she likes it very much when she sees the juniors around her knees during the big festival, and the rewards distributed are very rich, and everyone is happy together. Ye Liangyuan has been pregnant for four months, and her lower abdomen is revealed, the Queen Mother values her, and rewards her with precious tonic medicine and jade treasures alone, and orders her not to kneel and salute, just sit. Others stared at Ye's swaggering belly, and there was resentment and jealousy in their smiling eyes.

And in the end, the congratulatory gift presented by the low-ranking Wang Cainu was indeed one of Lin Yuan's return gifts, a small and delicate jade-inlaid gauntlet, which was inconspicuous among the concubines, but it was enough to be on the table and also in line with her identity. When she stepped back, she secretly glanced at Lin Yuan with gratitude in her eyes, and Lin Yuan sat quietly and smiled, but she didn't realize it.

After the concubines finished worshipping the New Year, the queen mother ordered the palace ladies to set up breakfast and invite everyone to join the table. The entire Changle Palace is happy, and the Queen Mother enjoys a happy family.

The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year has always been useless, and the exquisite dishes that are arranged into the four big characters of "Fu", "Lu", "Rong" and "Shou" are only found to be carrots and cabbage after eating in the mouth, which are tasteless. Lin Yuan put it down after eating a few bites, reached out and took a Qianxi Nafu bun and gnawed on it.

was in the dining room, and suddenly an internal supervisor came in and said, "Wei Zhaoyi has come to celebrate her birthday." ”

The Queen Mother listened for a moment and slowly put down the chopsticks. Tuoba Hong also put down the teacup and asked, "Zhaoyi has just recovered from a serious illness, and the imperial doctor said the day before yesterday that he was still weak and couldn't go out of the house, why did he come over today?" ”

Yao Fusheng bowed and said: "For the New Year, the palace is full of joy, and Zhaoyi Niangniang can wake up to see that the blessing is profound." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was happy, and my body and bones got better all of a sudden. ”

What kind of person is Yao Fusheng, he has been in the palace for half his life, and his level of speaking is so high.

Tuoba Hong smiled lightly, turned around and commanded: "Please Zhaoyi come in, An Gui, go and add a seat to Zhaoyi." ”

While speaking, Wei Zhaoyi was led in by the palace maid. She looked good, with joy on her face, but her body was very thin. She knelt down and respectfully saluted the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress, and said: "Today is a big day, the concubine is late, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive her sins." ”

When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she would be harsh, so she only raised her hand and said, "You are not in good health, and the emperor has exempted you from saluting." Now that you're here, sit down. ”

Tuoba Hong also said: "Ah Mi, sit down." Your body is not in good condition, how can you get out of the house on a cold day? ”

Wei Mizhuang sat down with a smile, his eyes swept among the concubines tactfully, and he lowered his head and said softly: "The concubines are not so squeamish, but they just woke up a few days ago, and their arms and legs have no strength, so they can't get out of bed." The concubine is much better now, and Imperial Doctor Liang said that the concubine has not fallen ill, and she will be no different from ordinary people after three months of recuperation. ”

Tuoba Hong listened happily: "Very good." The most important thing is that you are well. ”

On the side, the queen ordered the palace people to serve Wei Zhaoyi a clear porridge to nourish the stomach, and added a plate of dragon and gold four blessings to her according to Zhaoyi's position, and said with a smile beside the emperor: "Zhaoyi came to call the family reunion, and the queen mother also looked happy in her heart." Since the imperial doctor said that Zhaoyi has no root cause, it would be better to recuperate his body and add an heir to the emperor. ”

Wei Zhaoyi listened to the word heir, and the handkerchief in her palm tightened, but then she made a grateful look and said to the queen: "Thank you for the queen's auspicious words." ”

After speaking, she took a gift box from the hand of the palace maid behind her, held it to the Queen Mother with both hands and said: "The Queen Mother has a long life, and the concubines have nothing valuable, so she painted a picture scroll and gave it to the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother is a peaceful person, and when she heard this, she just smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's good that you have a mind for the New Year." Saying that, the two grandmothers, Zhining and Zhiyun, opened the box, took out the picture scroll from it, and unfolded it in front of everyone.

Originally, everyone didn't care, Wei Zhaoyi has been sick for many years, and it is already a great respect for the Queen Mother to come today, even if her gift is not expensive, the emperor and the Queen Mother will appreciate her. But when everyone saw the scroll, they all gasped, and occasionally there were voices of admiration or amazement from the concubines.

Tuoba Hong stood up first, stepped forward to look at the picture scroll, and finally high-fived and laughed: "Good, good, good!" Ah Mi really knows the thoughts of me and the Queen Mother best, and this gift is the best gift I have seen today! ”

On the picture scroll, there is a map of the territory of Great Qin, but it is not only Great Qin - Dayue and Xiongnu in the north, Xia and Tubo in the west, Dali and Siam in the south, are all included in the territory. Such a vast field, magnificent mountains and rivers, yellow, black, white, red and purple five different colors of land, the magnificent scenery is suddenly unfolded in front of you. The Queen Mother's always calm and indifferent face gradually revealed a light of surprise, and then she smiled: "What a delicate painting, this is the Huai River, this is the Great River, this is the capital...... It's a real picture. ”
