42. It is difficult to find a thousand-year-old glass family
It was noon when the carriage of the Yue Wangfu arrived, and the gentle golden light sprinkled on the earth, warming every corner of the courtyard of the palace.
Bai Qing came to the side of the carriage, full of joy, "Please get off the mother and sister." β
"Okay." Shen smiled kindly, got off the carriage with Bai Qing's support, Bai Yuying got out of the carriage with a smile and jumped down by herself.
"You!" Shen smiled helplessly, and entered the front hall, Bai Yuying grinned at Bai Qing, "I'll go to my room later." β
Bai Qing nodded, arranged for her mother to rest, and came to Bai Yuying's room.
In the girl's boudoir, Bai Yuying was holding her cheeks and smiling, Bai Qing sat down in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Why, what's so happy?" β
"It's okay, I just haven't been to the capital for a year, I want to take a look and take a walk."
"Okay, I'll show you around after lunch." Bai Qing knocked her little head with a pampering face, and that afternoon, Bai Yuying covered her face with a silk scarf and went out of the palace with her brother.
A year later, this naughty little girl will be crazy outside for several days.
In the tenth year of Emperor Jiu, on the day of the second dragon in February, Emperor Jiu's fortieth birthday, the prince and the minister, the ministers, and the children of each family were all summoned to the palace.
Bai Yuying entered the palace with the Shen family, and the female dependents brought the children by their side, in order to facilitate care, the female dependents were arranged in the Wenhua Palace, which was divided into two parts, including boys over six years old in the hall, girls over six years old in the hall, whether boys or girls under the age of six can move freely.
Bai Yuying stayed in the palace and chased several official girls in the palace, and when she was having fun, she heard the loud voice of the eunuch: "The queen has arrived." β
When everyone heard this, they got up and bowed down.
Surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Queen Su slowly came to the Danqi and stood still.
"Please, today is Your Majesty's birthday, and you have come to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday with your daughters, and this palace is really grateful."
Although Queen Su said that she was grateful, how could the ladies dare to accept it, and saluted again, "This is the duty of adults." β
"Please sit down, you can take any of the melons and fruits on the table, there will be a wonderful show in the afternoon."
Queen Su sat down and bowed to everyone, when a little girl about five years old came to her.
"The son has seen the queen mother."
Princess Yue, when everyone saw this six-year-old girl, they couldn't help but salute again.
After Princess Yue returned the salute cheerfully, she came to sit down beside Queen Su, and the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then saw her walking slowly towards Bai Yuying and the others.
To say that this Jiu Emperor is also quite interesting, although he is over forty years old, but only one of the Moon Princess has a daughter, the most regrettable is that one of them gave birth to a son, now ten years old, but because of last year's palace rebellion involved, was exiled thousands of miles away, and now life or death can not be determined.
Now there is only this little princess in the palace, she is even more lawless, plus a particularly bold Bai Yuying, a group of little girls have a new idea after playing for a while.
"You know what? The king of Chu sent a jade vase to his father, do you want to go and see it? β
Princess Yue carefully proposed to everyone, and Bai Yuying immediately became interested, "Is it beautiful?" β
"Of course, you certainly haven't seen it." Princess Yue looked affirmative, and Bai Yuying immediately raised her hands in approval.
"Is it just that we can go in?"
Bai Yuying quietly asked Princess Yue, and Princess Yue nodded, "Of course you can, let's go quietly, with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the Dianhua Palace." β
"Okay, let's go!" A few little girls blinked, and after saying goodbye to their mother, they quietly slipped out of the Wenhua Hall and walked towards the Dianhua Palace.
The Dianhua Hall can also be regarded as a royal library, with tens of thousands of books for the emperor's nobles to read.
There is a side hall next to it, which is used to temporarily stack gifts from envoys and ministers of various countries during the New Year's holidays.
Emperor Jiu's birthday gift today is naturally also placed here.
The four little girls were careful all the way, and under the leadership of Princess Yue, they avoided the palace maids and eunuchs and successfully arrived at the Dianhua Palace.
What excited them the most was that there was no one in the Dianhua Hall at this moment, and everyone was even more happy, excitedly stepping into the hall and admiring all kinds of stone, porcelain and jade.
Bai Yuying was led by the Moon Princess to the jade vase and was immediately attracted by it.
This is a wonderful vase, it looks a mild light blue from afar, but when you walk over, you find that it exudes colorful light, and if you look closely, you can also find that there is a clear and moving pattern on the side of the vase.
"Good, so beautiful!" Bai Yuying looked at the jade vase blankly, and couldn't help but praise it, she didn't expect that at this time, someone pushed her hard in the back, and she threw herself into the jade vase.
A crisp sound sounded, and the vase placed on the desk shook and fell to the ground and shattered.
"Ahh A burning pain struck, and Bai Yuying, who had fallen on the table, stood up, only to find that the back of her right hand had been pierced by a sharp jade block.
Bright red blood flowed out, and the slightest pain kept coming, Bai Yuying frowned, and looked at the three of them with a sad face, Princess Yue's face had already turned iron-blue.
"Bai Yuying, you, you actually dare to smash your father's birthday gift, you, you are so bold!"
Princess Yue scolded, and Bai Yuying realized that she was really in trouble this time.
"I, no, I was pushed down."
Bai Yuying immediately knelt down, and at this time, three or four eunuchs walked in.
"Who's making a noise in there?"
"Ah, what the hell is going on, jade vase, how did this jade vase break?" The eunuch led by one of the four eunuchs who came in asked with a pale face, pointing to the broken jade vase on the ground.
"It was Bai Yuying who broke it." Before Bai Yuying could speak, Princess Yue said first, "Don't believe it, you ask the two of them?" β
The Moon Princess pointed to the other two little girls, and the two little girls glanced at each other with a strange expression.
"Don't you see?"
Princess Yue looked at the two little girls standing in the birthday ceremony menacingly, and the two little girls looked at each other again, knelt down one after another, and replied, "It is indeed Bai Yuying who knocked down the jade vase herself, and we all saw it with our own eyes." β
"You, you, Sister Xiangzhi, how can you talk nonsense, it's obvious that someone pushed me from behind!" Bai Yuying endured the pain and looked at Shui Xiangzhi, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Dynasty, who was also Bai Qing's fiancΓ©e.
"No, I didn't see anyone behind you, it was indeed you who accidentally broke the jade vase, and I hope my father-in-law will see it and forgive Yuying."
After Shui Xiangzhi finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at anyone again, only lowered his head and looked at the smooth and colorful ground.
"I saw that it was Bai Yuying who deliberately pushed down the jade vase, just because she asked Princess Yue for this treasure, and Princess Yue didn't agree, so she had bad intentions."
Another little girl glanced at the Moon Princess and said confidently.
"Bai Yuying, I really didn't expect you to be such a person, because I don't want to give this treasure to you, you are going to destroy it, is that the birthday gift of my father?"
Princess Yue glanced at Bai Yuying who was kneeling on the ground with anger, Bai Yuying still wanted to defend herself, but after hearing the words of Shui Xiangzhi and Wang Youyu, she only fell to the ground in frustration and didn't say a word.
If his memory is correct, it was the Moon Princess who was standing behind him at that time, that is to say, the Moon Princess deliberately pushed her behind, causing her to fall on the desk and break the vase.
Thinking of the eunuch who arrived in time, she vaguely felt that she should have been designed by her, but she didn't understand why Princess Yue wanted to design her.
"Father-in-law Zhang, Bai Yuying asked me for the jade vase but failed, and deliberately broke the jade vase, and did not inform my father of this matter, so that he could decide."
"Yes." Gonggong Zhang received the order and immediately took a eunuch to the Ming Zheng Hall in a hurry.
Sure enough, could it be that the emperor wants to attack the Yue Palace!
Looking at the back of Gonggong Zhang's departure, Bai Yuying remembered what her father, brother and mother said in the palace, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.
Because of her, because of her naughtiness, the palace was about to face a catastrophe, Bai Yuying slowly got up from the ground, knelt straight, and stared at the angry Moon Princess without blinking.
Princess Moon looked at those bright but angry eyes, and turned her face away.
Shui Xiangzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, his hands were tight, tight and tight, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and soon, a golden dragon robe appeared in front of her, followed by two people, who were her favorite father and brother.
I'm sorry, father, brother, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, Bai Yuying lowered her head with guilt, and Gonggong Xia, who was beside Emperor Jiu, shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived." β
"The child (courtier) has seen Your Majesty."
Princess Yue and the three little girls in the room saluted respectfully, and Emperor Jiu slowly walked into the hall and helped his beloved daughter up.
"Father, this Bai Yuying heard that you received a beautiful jade vase this time and shouted for me to take her to watch, the child agreed to her request, brought her, she was overjoyed to see it, and begged the child to give her this jade vase without knowing the sky, the child thought, this is the father's birthday gift, how can the child give it away casually for the father, so, the child refused, never thought that she was angry, deliberately broke it."
After Princess Yue finished speaking, she gave Wang Youyu a grateful face, and Emperor Jiu glanced at the debris all over the ground, and only coldly spit out a sentence, "Pull it out and cut it." β
"Your Majesty, please spare your life."
"I beg Your Majesty to spare my sister's life." Bai Sha and Bai Qing, who followed Emperor Jiu, begged bitterly.
"This is my favorite jade vase, and now it has been broken by your daughter, Bai Aiqing, how do you think I should forgive her?"
Emperor Jiu coldly swept towards the Bai father and son outside the hall, and Bai Sha immediately replied, "Please give Weichen some time, and Weichen immediately asked someone to send an identical jade vase to your Majesty." β
Bai Sha's forehead was on the ground, full of fear, and Emperor Jiu smiled coldly, "This is specially created by the King of Chu for my fortieth birthday, why, do you think you can do it in a few days or months?" β
"Wechen can't, but there are also a few priceless jade stones on Wechen's Mansion, if Your Majesty likes it, Wechen is willing to give them all."
Emperor Jiu liked jade the most, and Bai Sha had to lure him with this, in order to save Bai Yuying.
"No," Emperor Jiu shook his head slightly, "I'm not interested in the jade in your house, if I really want to save your daughter, I want you to help me find someone." β
"Your Majesty, please." Hearing that Bai Yuying was saved, Bai Sha immediately asked for advice.
"Lamp of Peace, Lijia." Emperor Jiu said word by word.
