The fourth day of October is the birthday of King An.

Early in the morning, Zhao Lu and Xiaodong got up early, dressed neatly, and paid homage to King An.

Zhao Lu's birthday gift is a hand-copied Baishou character, and Xiaodong's birthday gift is an embroidered purse.

Wang An smiled and accepted, praised Zhao Lu's words, and praised Xiaodong: "Well, the embroidery is good." ”

This must be boasting in good conscience.

Xiaodong is self-aware, how to say this embroidery, there is still a long, long distance from being good.

However, she can proudly say that she did it purely independently, and did not ask for help from others.

From picking the cloth to pick the pattern, it was her own, although the hand was pricked by a needle in the middle of the way, the final product can barely be seen to be a wishful shape, the pattern embroidered on the head, she first thought of the pine crane - no, even if she tied her fingers into a sieve, she couldn't embroider a pattern. Later, I thought of Chunxuan - it wasn't easy.

So the last pattern on the purse is a peach.

The large plump peaches, lined with dark green background, look very pink.

It's hard work, and my eyes are red. Hu Shi was distressed and wanted to do a few stitches for her, but Xiao Dong didn't let her.

But hard work comes at a price. King An put this purse on his body, and also put a small medal he carried in it to show that this purse is really useful and practical.

Xiao Dong narrowed his eyes with a smile, and pulled King An's sleeve and didn't let go.

She also handed King An a handkerchief bag when others were not paying attention.

"What is this?"

Xiao Dong leaned close to King An's ear and whispered, "It was given by the Queen Mother." ”

That's a belt.

Xiao Dong didn't understand very well, why the Empress Dowager Shengci didn't directly put this belt in the birthday gift sent by the palace, or simply called King An to Changchun Palace and handed it to her directly in person, but asked her to hand it over.

Perhaps the reasons for this are complex.

King An put away the handkerchief bag and smiled at Xiaodong, as if the two of them shared a very cute little secret together.

Xiao Dong pursed his mouth, and King An bent down knowingly.

Xiao Dong gently "chirped" on his forehead, and then turned his head vigilantly to observe, like a little fox secretly storing food, for fear of being seen by others.

Mrs. Ming and the other two concubines of King An also came to pay their respects, and the birthday gifts were also said to be made by themselves. Mrs. Ming gave a robe, and the other two gave shoes.

It was the first time that Xiao Dong looked at the three women of King An head-on.

Mrs. Ming is undoubtedly beautiful. She is also the younger sister of Concubine Ming, and she also has the title of a lady. Although King An snubbed her...... It's not an ordinary snub, basically, according to Hu's mother's gossip, King An rarely goes to her room once a month.

The other two Xiaodong were almost not impressed at all. They are like invisible people in the palace, Xiao Dong desperately recalled, it seemed that one day he met one of them outside the flower room, hurriedly said hello, and didn't even see her face clearly, only remembered that her figure seemed to be slender and long, and her back was very good-looking.

Then today Xiao Dong recognized her at a glance, she stood on the left, her complexion was fair, and her low eyebrows were not annoying. I heard others call her Aunt Liu.

The other one is surnamed Cheng, who looks downright and generous, with a faint smile on his lips, neither overly enthusiastic nor indifferent, as if she can do whatever you need her to do at any time. Her feeling from head to toe reminded Xiao Dong of being alone.

The first time she entered the palace, she saw a female official surnamed Gao, was the same. Generous, proper,

I heard that this Aunt Cheng is also from the palace, probably they all have the same training, right?

Qin Lie and Shen Jing, Shen Qiang and Yao Jinfeng also came over to pay their respects to King An.

There are no outsiders, for a person as powerful as King An, this birthday is too simple. No drinking, no troupe, no dancing and firecrackers, no guests.

Xiao Dong felt that King An's lifestyle was like a hermit, as if he hadn't seen any friends he had, and he had no dealings with those clan princes and county kings. There is a saying that Da Yin is hidden in the court, and Xiao Dong feels that this is really reasonable.

She had a feeling that if it weren't for King An's status as a prince, he would probably have completely escaped into the mountains and forests and be accompanied by idle clouds and wild cranes.

He's fit for that life.

Xiao Dong imagined for a moment how King An looked barefoot in a plain linen robe - well, not only suitable, but also very handsome.

Xiao Dong scooped a spoonful of sweet soup and filled it into his mouth with a smile.

The flower hall was warm, Xiao Dong looked at King An who was sitting at the top, and then looked at Zhao Lu who was sitting opposite him.

After eating, people usually have a lazy sense of satisfaction.

She saw Fuhai walking briskly, the soles of his boots making a grinding sound when they touched the ground.

He whispered a word in King An's ear, Xiao Dong was close, and heard the second half of his sentence: "...... I've arrived at the front of the house. ”

Someone's coming?

Xiao Dong raised his head, King An nodded, and told Zhao Lu not to play too long, then got up and left.

Zhao Lu sent him out, and he didn't look surprised.

Xiao Dong asked him in a low voice, "Brother, who is here?" ”

Zhao Lu really knew, and replied to her in a low voice: "It's the emperor." ”

What did he come to do?

However, Shen Qiang had already handed over a small bucket with flower balls, and Xiao Dong picked one out of it, opened the tether underneath, and pulled out the note.

A riddle was written on it: There is still a Shumei pond next to it, and a flower name is played.

Xiao Dong was in a trance, she was wondering why the emperor came to the palace at this time.

Shen Qiang helped her read the riddle again, and said with a smile: "Hey, guess what?" If you can't guess, you'll have to admit punishment. ”

Xiao Dong glanced down at the note again, probably too full, his head was empty, looking at those words, he couldn't think of the answer to the mystery.

She raised her head, and Qin Lie, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was looking at her with concern, her lips opening and closing slightly. But for fear of being seen by others that he was giving Xiao Dong advice, he didn't dare to make his mouth too obvious, so it wasn't until he repeated it for the third time that Xiao Dong didn't care what the two words he said were.

"Begonia."

Shen Qiang was disappointed: "Alas, I guessed again." ”

The flower bucket was passed to Zhao Lu's hand, and he also took one out with a smile, but it was an anagram, he thought about it and guessed it. It was Yao Jinfeng's turn next, but she didn't guess it, and was pressed by Shen Qiang to pour a large cup of bitter tea. There was no wine at the table, but the bitter tea was made for wine, and it was sour and astringent, and when I drank it first, it was as if there were many small needles pricking my tongue.

Yao Jinfeng had a bitter face, and the cup of tea was spilled on her skirt.

Xiao Dong leaned on Zhao Lu's shoulder and grinned, admiring Yao Jinfeng's rare embarrassment.

Hua Dou passed it to Qin Lie again.

Xiao Dong felt that he would be able to guess it, but he kindly hoped that he wouldn't be able to guess it.

Since that time when she was sick and Qin Lie brought "a wild bird" to visit her, every time Xiao Dong saw him for the first time, what he thought about was not the word Qin Lie, but - chicken.

Yellow, fluffy, string-like chicks.

Although Qin Lie's handsome face did not bear the slightest resemblance to the chick, Xiao Dong thought that for a long, long time, it was impossible for this impression to be eliminated from her head.
