Chapter 82: King Qi's Gift
After saying that, Twilight ran out crying, and bumped into Concubine Xian Niangniang, who was about to enter the door. She didn't look up, said "I'm sorry" and ran away.
All of us who chased out were blocked at the door by the arrival of Concubine Xian, and everyone hurriedly saluted in a panic, "I've seen Concubine Xian." ”
"Hurry up, what's wrong with Snow Twilight?" Concubine Xian's dress was graceful and luxurious, and with a decent smile, she asked kindly.
"She wasn't very happy about a little thing, so she quit first." Concubine Xian knew that Qi Ying was going to chase Twilight, and said with concern: "Go find her, don't let her run away and something happens." ”
Qi Qi hurriedly ran out with Twilight, Concubine Xian looked at the backs of the two people leaving and sighed: "This young is good, meet the person you like at the best age, and stick to each other, accompany each other, there is nothing better than this, Qingyi, are you right?" ”
I nodded, and she was right. But how can there be so many just right things in the world? How many daughters can find their own virtuous son-in-law and lover before getting married like Twilight, the words of the matchmaker of their parents, how many people can only see their husbands for the first time on the night of marriage, when the candle night in the cave room, the life is not long, and the years of the flower are even shorter, if you can't find a bosom friend when the flowers bloom, then you can only be left with endless grievances and sorrows after the flowers fall.
I welcomed Concubine Xian into the house with the other two, and with her came the son of Concubine Xian, the fifth prince King Qi. King Qi looked handsome, with a square face and a high nose, and a blue-green brocade robe, which could hardly hide his strong physique, and he was followed by four or five maids, each holding a brocade box of the same size in his hand.
"Qingyi, last time you recovered from a serious illness, I couldn't tell you more about family life, today, I specially brought your brother Rongchen over to chat with you, say some thoughtful words, everyone is familiar with it." Concubine Xian took my hand and said lovingly, her smile was amiable, but she was a little more dignified and polite than ordinary aunts.
"Come, Rong Chen, say hello to my sister." Concubine Xian glanced at King Qi and said enthusiastically.
King Qi looked mature and steady, he walked in front of me generously, smiled politely, and said earnestly: "I have seen Sister Qingyi in Qianxiang Palace today, but there were too many people at that time, and I didn't have the opportunity to talk more with Sister Qingyi, now I came to see Sister Qingyi, I prepared a little meager meeting gift, I don't know if Sister Qingyi likes it or not, and I hope that my sister will not dislike my brother." ”
With a wave of his hand, a maid took small steps to drag the brocade box in his hand to the King of Qi, the King of Qi slowly opened, inside was a beautifully carved green jade phoenix hairpin, the phoenix hairpin was white and green, the white part was like a wisp of clouds, wrapped in the stretching mountains, and the green part was green but not cold, glowing with a faint soft light, and the white ribbon complemented each other, beautiful. Although jade is pure, it is really rare to use the original color of jade to carve a perfect cloud around Lin Daichai from a piece of jade. The jade hairpin is surrounded by a hollow lace of silver, and a few beads fall below, which is the original dignified and thick hairpin showing lightness and agility.
Whether it is workmanship or material, this jade hairpin is definitely first-class and good.
"This hairpin is specially made by me for Qingyi's sister, my sister's name is Qingyi, and the person is as green as the lotus leaves in early summer, pure white as the gentle moonlight, so I made this hairpin, I don't know if my sister likes it or not?" King Qi looked at me with a smile, as if all this was his effort, but I had also indulged in the drunken gold of Yuchun Tower, and I also knew that to make such a hairpin, the time and cost would not be small, but if it was in the palace, maybe it would be much easier. But it's really bothering King Qi so much......
I smiled at him embarrassedly and gave him a big salute, and I could not speak but express my gratitude in this way. Although it was his cousin, I was still embarrassed to accept such a heavy love and such a generous gift from him at the beginning of the meeting, but after seeing the brocade box below, I realized that this hairpin was really just the beginning of the meeting.
"Sister Qingyi doesn't have to be polite, this preparation is really hasty, as long as my sister likes it, I will order it according to the pattern and style that my sister likes in the future!" King Qi said generously, and his bold smile suddenly lightened the burden on my heart a lot.
"Bring it." He said to the maid next to him, and the second brocade box was lifted. There are even more! I didn't know what to do for a while, could it be that the five boxes he brought were all gifts for me? This is too generous!
King Qi slowly opened the second box, which contained a light and exquisite glass cup. This glass cup is not like an ordinary cup, the wall of the cup is fired with glass, smooth and bright, translucent, thin as cicada wings, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful utensil! Including the largest event in the world, I have never seen such a beautiful glass jar!
"This is the three-color glazed cup that Dunhuang paid tribute to the year before last, my father gave it to me, I am a strong person, I don't need such a delicate thing, I will give it to my sister today!" King Qi said, and ordered someone to put the two open boxes on my bookcase.
Oh, my God! This gift is too heavy! Although I was also in the Yuchun Tower, I was also in a good position and had seen a lot of good things, but compared with the things sent by King Qi today, it was simply ashamed of myself, not a level, I had never seen such a gift, all of them were rare treasures, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, I didn't dare to guess what his other two boxes were.
The contents of the other two boxes are not as good as the first two, but they are worth more than the first two. In the third box, King Qi sent a long-lost book, and in the fourth box, it was actually filled with a pair of Wang Xizhi's autographed book "Lanting Collection Preface"!
In the third box, what King Qi sent was actually Wang Xizhi's autographed book "Lanting Collection Preface" before his death! Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this work has been sought after by countless literati and ink writers, and is known as the highest peak of calligraphy. However, the contents of the fourth box amazed me even more, it was a long-lost "Guangling Sanqin Song"!
This Guangling San legend is made by Ji Kang, its melody is lofty and profound, the artistic conception is quiet and difficult to understand, but I heard that when Ji Kang played this song, the birds and beasts in the sky and the underground were all moved, but this sheet music was ill-fated, once lost, and became the regret of all musicians in their lives, but King Qi actually had this sheet music!
If I could speak, I would have to ask again and again, but I am now mute, and I really don't know what else to do to express my shock and disbelief other than my mouth wide open in surprise.
I waved my hand again and again to signal to everyone, hoping that someone could understand the meaning of not accepting these gifts, and could explain to Concubine Xian and King Qi.
But before Qi Ming or Liyan could speak, Concubine Xian Niangniang understood what I meant first, and she smiled and said angrily: "What, isn't it what you want?" ”
I shook my head again and again, how could I not agree with me, but this gift was too heavy.
"Qingyi, these are just meeting gifts, in the palace in the future, it is common for Brother Rong Chen to give you things better than these, and I hope that in the future, you can walk around with Rong Chen, this child, and help each other, Rong Chen will definitely love you well, tell him what you need and want, he will definitely be able to do it." You are new to this place and are not very familiar with this place, so let Rong Chen talk to you more and talk about the things in this palace. In fact, in this palace, if the two of you can respect and love each other, I will really feel much more at ease. Concubine Xian said with a smile.
Although her words are reasonable, and they are good for me everywhere, but I always feel a little weird, I am not important enough to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to visit with King Qi, and her tone always makes me feel that she is intentionally or unintentionally matching me and King Qi, but I am just a disfigured ugly girl now, with the false name of a princess, why does Concubine Xian want to match me and King Qi? Am I being too careful?
Anyway, thank you or thank you, I walked to the table, wrote a few words of thanks, and showed them to King Qi and Concubine Xian, who saw a large push of used rice paper on the desk, chuckled and asked, "Is this how you communicate?" ”
Qi Ming and Liyan smiled reluctantly and nodded, I know that the matter of Twilight just now is still in everyone's minds, and I am still worried about Twilight.
Sure enough, the women in the palace are not ordinary people, just one glance, Concubine Xian saw our anxiety, and said with a light smile: "Today, Rong Chen and I are just to come to see Qingyi, and it is inconvenient to disturb more, we will go back to the palace first, Qingyi is free, you must come to my aunt's place and accompany me." ”
I nodded hurriedly, I will personally come to the door to thank you another day, and then I realized how bad my etiquette in the palace is, I have never even given people a sip of tea, and the hospitality is really terrible, and I hope that Concubine Xian Niangniang and King Qi will not go to their hearts......
Concubine Xian patted my hand kindly, and left with King Qi with a smile, Qi Ming immediately asked the maid to send all those things to my room, I looked at him puzzled, what's wrong? Does the gift have an enmity with him?
Qi Ming looked at me and Liyan, and said lightly: "I don't know how many gifts Qingyi will receive today, who knows who will come in a while, it's best not to let the next person who gives gifts see what is the best thing for the previous person to give gifts, right?" ”
Liyan nodded in agreement, but I was confused, why are so many people vying to give me gifts?
