Chapter 549: Birthday Gift
After the beginning of winter, the weather will be cold.
On the day of Pei Guifei's birthday banquet, it snowed for the first time.
The snow was not big, it was dotted, and it turned into water droplets before it hit the ground.
Ming Wei entered the palace and found that there were not as many people as he imagined.
Princess An whispered to her: "This year, even the Halloween Festival is simple, so the concubine refused to make a big deal, and His Majesty had to agree." ”
Mingwei comprehended. Concubine Pei Guifei has never liked to be in the limelight, how long has the crown prince and King Xin been abolished, and what she has done so wantonly is the emperor's will, but in the end, her reputation still falls on her own head.
The former concubine didn't care about fame. Now that there is hope in my heart, my thoughts are different.
However, the so-called no big deal, that is, the pomp is not so big. Everyone knows that the concubine is favored, but the outside is not clear, they all know in their hearts, the reason why the two princes were abolished is that they collided with Pei Guifei, who would dare to make her unhappy?
The face of the concubine is the face of the emperor, who is qualified to come? The birthday gift is also a top precious, novelty.
Among them, the birthday gift of the Yue Wangfu is the most amazing, there is enough coral, there is a person high, it is actually a colorful color, carried into the main hall, it is brilliant, and it catches people's eyes.
Yang Shu said: "This is from the hands of merchants in the south, such colorful corals can only come out of the shallows of the South China Sea." And it's so big and in perfect condition, even in the south, you can't find a few plants. ”
The emperor pointed his finger at him and said, "You are quite proud, a few days ago, the wind was released, and the merchants in the entire capital were disturbed by you, and I heard that the market price made you rise by thirty percent." You kid, can't you do something good? ”
This sounded like an accusation, but the emperor had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in the right mood, so everyone laughed cooperatively.
Concubine Hui, who was sitting under Concubine Pei, said with a smile: "King Yue is also a piece of filial piety. ”
Concubine Hui is also dressed up today, but she still looks very haggard.
Since the second prince was deposed, Concubine Hui has been sick.
She is an old man of the Hidden Mansion, about the same age as the emperor, and she is fifty years old. With this disease, the whole person is a lot older, and Pei Guifei is almost like two generations.
If you want to talk about Concubine Hui, she also had a time of being favored in her early years. At the beginning, the emperor was still King Zhao, because he couldn't get along with Princess Zhao, but he liked a few side concubines more.
Concubine Hui has a soft temperament and often accompanies her side, so as soon as King Zhao's concubine came out, she gave birth to a second son.
However, by the emperor's side, the love did not last long, and when King Zhao ascended the throne as the emperor and Concubine Pei Guifei entered the palace, Concubine Hui took a back seat.
As he grew older, his appearance deteriorated, and his favor became less and less.
However, the emperor still misses her old feelings. There will be nothing missing from her, even if the second prince abolishes the prince, he will only reprimand her.
After laughing, she said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a birthday gift here, which is not very valuable, but it is better than ingenuity, but I don't know if I can make the concubine smile." ”
Pei Guifei said: "My sister has a heart, you are sick, how can you work?" ”
Concubine Hui said with a smile: "It's not me who is working, it's my niece and nephew." She smiled and patted the wrist of the girl next to her, "These days, thanks to Xiuyi, I heard that she was going to prepare a birthday gift for the concubine, and she thought hard day and night before she came up with such an idea." ”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was a delicate and weak girl. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he has fair skin and beautiful facial features.
She is good-looking, but she is not bland. There are many more beautiful women in the palace, and there are many beautiful and lovely palace maids, so they all thought that this was a palace maid serving Concubine Hui, but it turned out to be her niece.
The girl was looked at by everyone, smiled embarrassedly, and said softly: "My aunt is sick, and the concubine Niangniang always orders people to visit, and the courtiers feel the kindness of the mother, but I am afraid that she will not be able to repay the mother." ”
Pei Guifei's eyes were gentle: "Miss Wen is too polite, this palace is just doing her duty." ”
The emperor said: "But I don't know what kind of birthday gift it is?" Concubine Hui said this, it seems that there is something strange. ”
Concubine Hui gestured with her gaze.
Wen Xiuyi got up and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty waits, the courtiers will show it here." ”
Two palace maids came up behind Concubine Hui, holding a scroll in their hands.
They opened the scroll in court, but it was a picture of a hundred flowers.
But seeing the purple and red in the picture, the flowers are like brocade, various colors are layered, different shades, beautiful, as if in the blink of an eye, the flowers inside become real.
When everyone looked closely, it was not a painting, but an embroidery.
The emperor looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Miss Wen is really skillful, she has such skills at such an age, if you don't look closely, I still think this is a painting." The embroidery is like a painting, with such charm, it is really amazing. ”
Pei Guifei also praised: "If you don't say it, this palace still thinks that it is embroidered by embroiderers for decades." ”
Yang Shu looked at the painting, then at Concubine Hui, and said, "This picture of a hundred flowers is very beautifully embroidered, but when it comes to ingenuity, where to start?" ”
His eyes were provocative, quite a bit of "you dare to compare with me".
Wen Xiuyi half-bowed her head and replied: "Wait a minute, His Royal Highness King Yue, the courtier's embroidery is actually only half of it, and it is still a little short." ”
"Oh?"
Wen Xiuyi said softly: "If there are hundreds of flowers, how can there be no bees and butterflies?" ”
The emperor smiled: "I thought that you were a little negligent at a young age, do you have another trick?" ”
Wen Xiuyi smiled: "Please allow Your Majesty to allow the courtiers to use needles and threads in front of the emperor." ”
The emperor bowed his head: "I will allow you." ”
Wen Xiuyi took the needle and thread handed by the palace maid, and began to decorate the stamens of the hundred flowers in front of everyone.
But seeing that she had only embroidered a few stitches, she then collected the needle and thread and asked the palace maid to take it to the door of the palace.
"Your Majesty and Niangniang, please wait a moment."
Her posture made everyone curious.
After a while, I suddenly heard a buzzing ringing in my ears.
When everyone looked up, they saw a few bee butterflies flying from outside and stopping on the heart of the stamen!
Amazed.
It is said that lifelike, flowers are too similar to the real thing, and will attract bees and butterflies.
But it's winter! It's still snowing outside, it's really so mysterious, where do the bees and butterflies come from?
Wen Xiuyi was very embarrassed by being looked at, blushing slightly, and saluting Pei Guifei: "Niangniang's birthday is in the early winter, although there is a snow celebration, in the end it loses its color." Xiuyi was brave and attracted bees and butterflies with a hundred flowers to celebrate her birthday. ”
It took Pei Guifei a long time to come back to her senses, and the emperor was already stroking his palms and laughing: "Interesting, it's really ingenious!" Ah Yan, this gift is indeed much stronger than yours, are you convinced? ”
Yang Shu looked unwilling, but he was pressed to the point where he had nothing to say.
In the corner, Mingwei looked at this Wen Xiuyi with a dignified expression.
How can there be such a thing in this world that attracts bees and butterflies? She saw it clearly, and there was clearly a kind of medicinal powder hidden in the embroidery thread of Fang Cai. When Wen Xiuyi embroidered her heart, she clearly used her mana to transmit the breath of the medicinal powder.
Who is this Miss Wen? (https:)
