Chapter 385: Exchanging Blessings
If it is on weekdays, it is just that, but on today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother does not come, presumably something big has happened.
Yin Huan cast an inquiring glance at Mao Yuan, only to see that Mao Yuan also shook his head helplessly. The Queen Mother's body is getting worse and worse, I think Yin Huan has never seen it, but if she sees it, there must still be a way.
Mao Yuan shook his head helplessly, and didn't answer, but talked to A Ning again: "The queen mother's body is getting worse and worse, you have to take good care of the queen mother." After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Princess Ben will follow you to see her old man's home. ”
A Ning blessed her body and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess knows the queen mother's mind best, and the queen mother also hopes that the princess and the emperor can go to see her old man." ”
After saying that, Mao Yuan stuck out his tongue at A-Ning and said, "Oh, these are the gifts I am going to give to the queen mother, you can bring them back later, and it can be regarded as the princess's heart." This palace wishes the queen mother 'blessings will continue every year'! ”
Seeing Mao Yuan's words, the palace daughter behind her walked to A Ning with a plate of colorful lucky bags in her hand.
A-Ning raised his eyes and smiled, and motioned to the maid behind him to put away the lucky bag. I saw that there were seven of those lucky bags, and the patterns on the top were different, a total of seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the gold thread was used as an outline on each lucky bag, and the patterns were in turn for spring, lotus, chrysanthemum, white plum, peony, gardenia, and peony. These are flowers with auspicious meanings, and now the pattern as a lucky bag is really beautiful.
Ah Ning took a closer look, and there was a word embroidered on each blessing bag, and read it in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which was the sentence that Fang Cai Maoyuan said: The blessing lasts every year.
Yin Huan looked up at the exquisite embroidery and smiled slightly. In the East Palace, the embroidery of peach blossoms is famous for its exquisiteness, and now it is very simple to make these things. Presumably it must have taken some effort to please the Queen Mother, it seems that she cherishes the mother-daughter friendship with the Queen Mother.
Ah Ning made the gift clear one by one, and then bowed to Mao Yuan and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Mao Yuan's things are naturally excellent. Originally, the Queen Mother said that the princess was ingenious, but now it seems that this is indeed the case. Presumably, these blessing bags, Niangniang must go back and hang them in her palace, which has been used to collect blessings. The slave replaced the Queen Mother, thank Her Royal Highness the princess for her kindness. ”
Mao Yuan stuck out his tongue, waved his hand casually, and said, "Hurry up, you don't have to do so many courtesies!" ”
When everyone heard Mao Yuan's simple and warm answer, and then looked at her eyebrows and eyes that were smiling like children, they all laughed. With Maoyuan, this year's New Year seems to be very warm.
I saw that the precious concubine suddenly got up, took out a delicate jade bracelet from her arms, put it in Feirou's hand, and said, "Go quickly, give the gift prepared by the palace to the queen mother." My aunt originally liked jade bracelets, and the palace party got a pair of jasper some time ago, and she ordered someone to make this exquisite jade bracelet. Since it is a gift of gold and jade, the concubine wishes the queen mother's skin like jade spring! ”
The precious concubine half-covered her face and smiled slightly, that is, everyone saw the exquisite and wonderful jade bracelet. The jade bracelet is exquisitely clear, that is, the crystal clear green is a rare jade. Looking closely, I saw that there was a small golden ring on the right side of the jade bracelet. Xiaohuan just retracted the tail of the jasper table, and carved a unicorn with a fireball in its mouth was carved on it.
Concubine Xiao looked carefully, and when she saw the unicorn, she smiled slightly: "It is said that the unicorn is a rui beast, although the unicorn of Sister Guifei is small, but it is lifelike." I really know that the craftsmanship of the craftsman is excellent, and such a jade and gold is really a treasure. ”
The precious concubine was praised by Concubine Xiao Shu like this, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and she leaned back towards the chair covered with golden satin and said: "Sister Concubine Shu is really praised, this palace just did what it should do, do some filial piety." ”
A-Ning took the bracelet and put it in the sandalwood inlaid gold wire box that Feirou had just brought, and bowed to the precious concubine: "The noble concubine's sentence 'skin is like a jade spring' really responded to this gift, such a good sentence, the slave will definitely tell the queen mother when she goes back." Slave and maid instead of the Queen Mother, thank you for the kindness of the concubine! ”
The next thing is that the concubines give gifts, and it seems to be a family banquet, but these women are still ready to go. Concubine Xiao Shufei gave a brown pillow embroidered with a big word "Shou" and a golden silk edge. Although this pillow is a common thing, the subtlety of this is that there is a big "longevity" embroidered on the pillow. Although this shou looks simple, it was written by Concubine Xiao Shu herself.
A woman can have such exquisite embroidery, or use the font written by herself, and sew it by herself, this gift is also something that the Queen Mother will definitely like.
Then there was a kiss to see that Bigui and Luo promised to each send a step-shaking hairpin. Although the queen mother has these things, the difficulty is that the hairpins they sent are all decorated with colored glass. Glass is not often found in the palace, and only skilled craftsmen dare to use glass to make things. Now it seems that these glasses are very rare.
Everyone has sent all the gifts, and A-Ning has thanked them one by one. It's just that when she came to Yin Huan, she was leisurely drinking plum soup.
The eyes of all the concubines were focused on Yin Huan, as if they were waiting for Yin Huan to say something. But Yin Huan didn't say a word, picked up a big orange from the table, handed it to Jialu, and let Jialu peel it and eat it.
"Doesn't the queen mother have a gift for the queen mother? Although this is just a family banquet, and there is no need to give any expensive gifts, it is rare to have a heart. If the queen mother sends something, I am afraid that the queen mother's blessing will be even longer. The precious concubine didn't hold back, she knew that Yin Huan had been locked up in the East Palace for a month, and probably didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
Not to mention a gift, I'm afraid that I haven't prepared a single thing, right? If this is the case, this queen is very undignified. The queen who can't take care of the overall situation, it's better not to want it!
The precious concubine was secretly proud in her eyes, but she saw A-Ning come forward and bow slightly: "The concubine has misunderstood, the queen mother got up early today and ordered someone to send a gift to the queen mother's palace, although the queen mother is inconvenient, but she is still the first person to give a gift to the queen mother." ”
Yin Huan still pretended that nothing had happened, and took the bright red orange from Jialu's hand and put it in his mouth and said, "The orange is a little sour. When he said this, Yin Huan's eyebrows were staring at the precious concubine, and he saw that the precious concubine's breathing was a little short, obviously unexpectedly, and she was angry.
Precious concubine, this is talking sour words, right? Yin Huan saw that she didn't say a word, and her heart was much more comfortable.
Originally, she had nothing to do after staying in the East Palace for a long time, so she made some gifts. While making New Year's gifts for the Queen Mother and the palaces, he made clothes for the children.
No one has been disturbed for a month, and there is no need to worry about things outside, Yin Huan is happy, and it can be regarded as a big holiday for this queen.
Cang Linchen put the cup in his hand and asked A-Ning in confusion: "Oh? I haven't heard that the queen mother has received gifts, but when I came, I came from the queen mother's palace, and I didn't see any gifts that had not been put into the warehouse. ”
Cang Linchen is just strange, he is indeed from the Queen Mother. In order to be able to accompany his mother well on Chinese New Year's Eve, he still chose to go to her earlier. It's just that I left after talking to the Queen Mother at that time, and I didn't find anything wrong.
As soon as Cang Linchen asked this, all the sorrows of the precious concubine disappeared, and at this time, she looked like a dragon and a tiger.
Yin Huan didn't answer, and looked up at A-Ning, as if waiting for her to explain.
A Ning said to the emperor's blessing body: "If you go back to the emperor, the emperor has seen such a gift." The emperor also praised its grandeur and delicacy. It's just that the emperor and nobles forget things, that is, they forget. ”
Cang Rinchen's mind turned, and he suddenly remembered the thing he saw in the queen mother's palace, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said to Yin Huan: "I didn't know that the queen had such good craftsmanship and could make such an atmospheric thing, presumably the queen mother liked it very much, so she was full of praise." ”
Yin Huan was not excited, but bowed slightly: "It's just that the concubine has some time, she can be lazy, so she naturally has the kung fu to do some small things." ”
All the concubines are strange, what is it, so that the queen mother and the emperor are full of praise. Finally, Mao Yuan said openly: "I don't know what good things the imperial sister-in-law has done?" Don't be stingy if it's a great thing, you should share it with all of us! ”
I saw Yin Huan smile slightly, and Jialu was also amused by the curious nature of Peach Blossom that had not changed. Yin Huan put the cup in his hand and said modestly: "There is nothing special, it is almost the same as all the sisters, just some gadgets." Don't mind. ”
I saw that Luo, who had never spoken, replied but added: "Sister is really modest, even if my sister lives in the same palace with you, I have never seen such a thing." It's better for my sister to hurry up and don't sell it. ”
Everyone said one by one, and after a while, I heard Yin Huan say: "Since you want to say it, don't you want people who have seen things to say it?" Let Aunt A-Ning explain it.,This palace just thinks it's just some gadgets.,Why don't you sisters believe it.。 ”
Yin Huanjiao smiled and was angry, only to see A Ning step forward and said: "Don't worry about the mother, listen to the slave and maid to explain the birthday gift of the queen." ”
A-Ning's words made the room suddenly a lot quieter, and even Albedo, who did not say a word, quieted down and listened sideways.
I saw that A-Ning was slightly blessed, and he said thoughtfully: "The gift given by the queen's mother, called Wanshui Qianshan, is a screen embroidery. ”
As soon as A-Ning said his name, everyone was silent. This embroidery is originally a delicate work, so most people are reluctant to embroider too big things, one is energy-consuming, and the other is not so delicate ability to embroider such exquisite objects. If the screen was embroidered by Yin Huan with stitches and threads, not to mention the finished product, it was just that this intention really made everyone blessed.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Ah Ning then sold Guan Zi and said: "The size of this screen is three feet long and five feet wide, and the screen made of fine desert cold snow silk is inlaid in a lattice made of wood agarwood, which is the prototype of the screen." Originally, the screen was not an extremely rare thing, but the embroidery on it was really good, and the painting on it was even more beautiful. ”
