"It's the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, and I don't know what gifts the prince will prepare." Jiuyu was wandering through the Merlin when it suddenly occurred to her that matter. Red Sleeves walked over, "Miss wants to know, just ask the prince." ”

Jiuyu sighed slightly, although she said that she and the prince had the status of husband and wife, but more than a month had passed, and she had not said a few words. At this moment, the concubine in the mansion served Mei Xiang, and Mrs. Mei slowly approached "Princess Jin'an." Jiuyu nodded, and Mrs. Mei smiled, "What is the princess worried about?" ”

"Why is Madame so inquiring?"

"It's just that you look tired all day long, and you look sluggish, isn't it because the prince has been staying with me recently? Are you unwilling? Mrs. May smiled.

"When will it be the lady's turn to call the shots in this palace? Since he is the prince, he will be wet with rain and dew, even if he is in your room every day, my Murong Jiuyu is also the princess of Changping, even if you marry him for a long time, aren't you also the courtesan who drinks Luxuan? Murong Jiuyu looked at the Mrs. Mei in front of her with disdain. Mei Xiang paused, saluted, and withdrew. Red Sleeves snorted coldly, "Just because she also wants to humiliate and humiliate our young lady." ”

At this time, the king of Changping happened to return home, and the little servant behind him came in with a whole box of things.

Jiuyu got up and walked to the door, "This...... But the Queen Mother's birthday gift? ”

"It's a gift for you."

"Mine?" Jiuyu looked at the little guy behind him with some surprise.

The little guy nodded, and then smiled, "Niangniang, do you want to see it now?" Jiuyu turned his head to look at King Changping's face, and the expression on his face was also strange, as if he was smiling but not smiling, as if nothing good had happened.

Jiuyu thought for a moment, "What's the matter?" Hold back and spoil me. ”

"Kind to give you a gift, is it thought so?"

"Really kind?"

"The sun and the moon can be seen."

Jiuyu asked the little maid to help open it, inside was a guqin, Jiuyu had not touched the guqin for several days, and now when she saw it, she was happy, and unconsciously touched the strings "You...... How do you know I like it? ”

"You can only know if you have a heart!" King Changping looked happy and looked at Jiuyu's tearful eyes, "Why are you crying?" He couldn't help it when he saw the woman crying, it was a surprise, but he didn't think about making Jiu Yu's tears in his eyes.

Jiuyu, who was raining with pear blossoms, wiped away her tears and slowly raised her head, "Do you know that because I was better at the piano than my sister since I was a child, I was banned from the guqin?" Do you know that I love this guqin to the core, and I once secretly practiced the piano and was caught by the eldest lady to be beaten by the board. I haven't touched it in years, so you might as well take it back. ”

King Changping's eyes revealed half distress, "Today you are not the second lady of Murong Mansion, you are my Princess of Changping, in this Helan Dynasty, no one can restrain you, now this guqin is yours, no one will interfere anymore." ”

As soon as these words fell, Jiuyu's tears could no longer be suppressed, since she was a child, she was pressed by Murong Wantian and the Chen family, and she always felt that there was no future, she married this swinger that day, but she didn't think that her words and deeds were remembered by him, was it really that she had mistaken him at the beginning? Or is he hiding too deeply?

Jiuyu slowly stretched out her hands, her fingertips gently touched the strings, the clear and agile sound sounded in her ears, the teary-eyed woman sat in the plum blossoms, the pale pink cloak was surrounded by white fluff, the graceful and moving figure was faintly between the snow, reflecting the clusters of red plums, the flower between her eyebrows was so delicately depicted, the low-hanging eyes were like a fairy in the painting, the slender and slender ten fingers were light and smooth, plucking the strings like flowing water, the entire Changping palace was shrouded in this graceful piano sound, and pieces of snowflakes fell. In this cold winter, such a clear and tactful piano sound makes the entire Changping palace seem so shining, graceful and moving.

The girl wanted to come forward to remind the princess that the weather was cold and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, but she was stopped by the king of Changping, Su Zisheng took the ink fox fur cloak in the hand of the little girl, and gently draped it on Jiuyu's body, and took out the jade flute that she had carried since she was a child from her waist, and returned to Qin Se and Ming, which should really only be in the sky.

"No one has ever been so tacit with my young lady." As soon as Red Sleeves spoke, he was stopped by Bixiang, and everyone slowly faded away, and only a piano and a flute were left in the Merlin, echoing in the sky.

A few days later, the Changping Palace was still discussing the events of the day. When the maids get together, they throw it on the piano and song that day. Mrs. Mei and Jiang Meiren got together and talked about the grand scene at that time, and couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy. And when they spoke, they spoke, and those below followed suit.

"I used to listen to the prince playing the flute all day long, but I didn't think that the sound of the prince's flute could be harmonious with people?"

"I'm afraid this princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"The princess is really a strange woman, you don't know that she humiliated Mrs. Mei that day and humiliated Mrs. Mei to shame herself."

"Really? The princess is really a strange woman, who doesn't know that Mrs. Namei originally came as a courtesan, and walked sideways in this palace all day long, and now a princess came out, and she was cured. ”

"The princess is a concubine?"

"You don't know, this is really a shameful thing, she and the concubine in the palace are sisters."

At this time, Bixiang walked into the kitchen with tea, "What kind of princess is also what you talk about casually?" ”

"Miss Bixiang, why are you here?" The little girl greeted her in a panic.

"My young lady wants to eat osmanthus cake, let me get some back."

"I'll give it to the girl."

Bixiang returned to the cabinet with osmanthus cake and freshly brewed tea, threw the refreshments on the table with an unhappy look, and the red sleeves leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" I went to the kitchen, and I was so sad. ”

"That starter is talking about Miss! I didn't say anything, but I didn't feel comfortable listening to it. ”

"Then why don't you clean up the kid?"

"Why should I do it, if I do it, I will only cause trouble for the young lady." Bixiang said with a sad face, but Red Sleeves burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I see that you are usually silent, and you are calm when you encounter things, but you don't think that you have no idea."

"What do you say?"

"In this palace, in addition to the masters, are you and me not respected among the girls? If they are disrespectful to the princess, you and I can deal with it, where will it affect the young lady, it will affect you and me. The red-sleeved eyes flickered, and he smiled ghostly. Bixiang laughed when she heard this, "You." What should I say about you, your and my behavior represents Miss, how can you dispose of people at will, even if you have this right, you can't use it, right? ”

"My good sister, are you really serious?"

"Begging for a beating."

Jiuyu walked in from outside, shook the snow off her body, and then inserted the red plum in her hand into the white porcelain vase, "Why are you two fighting again?" After a while, the prince came, and when he saw this, he wanted to say that I had no way to discipline me. ”

"It's the prince who has no way to discipline him!"

"You are a stuffy gourd, I see you talking little on weekdays, but today you are talking fast?."

"Why is Bixiang so upset today?"

Red Sleeves pouted, "It's not like picking up the child, and it's really ugly to talk about what happened to the young lady as a joke." ”

"What's unpleasant? I'm a concubine, they say let's go, I always listen to what others say, won't that keep me alive? I am in this palace, and as long as I can live in peace, I will be content. ”

"Miss endures, I can't help it! If they sin by my hand one day, let them look good. After saying that, Red Sleeves picked up a piece of osmanthus cake on the table and put it into his mouth, and Bi Xiang laughed, "I'm afraid I'm going to choke." "Seeing that my subordinates are the two of you in charge, when will this red sleeve's temper burst change? You should learn more like Bixiang. Jiuyu said with a smile.

The palace concubine Niangniang is preparing a congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother, originally wanted to embroider a longevity picture, but her own embroidery work is really general, so she searched around for a high-skilled Xiu Niang, did not think that day when wandering in the imperial garden picked up a handkerchief, embroidered with a phoenix peony, the embroidery is excellent, after some investigation, found the owner of this handkerchief, is a Huanyi Bureau of the palace maid. The next day, Wan Tian sent this person to Chuxiu Palace.

"Lift your head up and let me see." Wan Concubine was in the hall, holding a handkerchief in her hand, the woman kneeling in the hall slowly raised her head, Wan Concubine smiled coquettishly, "This handkerchief is from your hand?" ”

"Yes."

"The embroidery is excellent, this peony seems to come to life, it's just a peony flower, only the queen can be used, and now you embroider it on a handkerchief, but offended?"

"Slave maid...... The slave maid did not mean this. ”

"If you want me to make this matter smaller, do me a favor and I'll keep it down."

"What's the busy?"

"Help me embroider a picture of longevity."

The people in the hall didn't respond for a long time, and Chu Xue scolded loudly, "Come on, drag this person down and hit the thirty boards!" The woman cried out, "Mother, spare your life!" Mother's life! ”

"Have you figured it out?"

"The slave and the maid do as they are."

"Okay, from today onwards, you will move from the Huanyi Bureau to my Chuxiu Palace, what is your name?"

"Back to Niangniang, slave Mo Yi."

"From today on, you are the personal maid of this palace, and this palace gives you the name of Shengqiu."

Mo Yi thanked Wan Concubine and returned to the Huanyi Bureau, under the leadership of Chu Xue, packed up her things, moved to Chuxiu Palace, sorted out the silk thread all day long, embroidered this longevity map, and did not leave the room for half a month as if imprisoned, half a month, the embroidery of the longevity picture has been completed, Wan Concubine looked at the longevity picture in front of her, and smiled with her eyebrows, "It's really good." But if you let others know that you have embroidered it, you will punish me. ”

As soon as Concubine Wan wanted to say something more, Manxia stopped Concubine Wan, "Niangniang, if this longevity picture really makes the Queen Mother happy, if in the future, let Niangniang embroider something, wouldn't it be a miss?" ”

After thinking about it, Concubine Wan decided to keep her alive for the time being, and Sheng Qiu has been following Concubine Wan, trembling all day long, for fear that if something goes wrong, she will be dragged out and cut off.

On this day, the queen mother's birthday, Su Zisheng, the king of Changping, brought the princess Murong Jiuyu; Su Zizhi, the king of Junping, brought his side concubine Yao Qingzhu; Emperor Su Ziqian brought the virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, and concubines; Su Xun, the third prince of the emperor's son; Su Ran, the ninth prince; Su Yu, the tenth prince; The six princesses Su Ci were all present to celebrate.

"Queen Mother, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Wan have all prepared birthday gifts."

"Oh? Come up, please. ”

The eunuch took the birthday gift one by one, and the concubine prepared a piece of Shoushan stone, which looked like the word longevity in the official book, which was natural. Concubine Xian prepared a picture of the birthday star drawn by herself, and Concubine Wan took the picture of longevity.

"You embroidered this?"

Murong Wantian slowly got up and saluted, then nodded, "Yes." ”

"Concubine Wan is so skillful, she is really virtuous."

"Niangniang has won the award, the concubine's embroidery is not fine, embroidered for more than a month, it is still so clumsy, and now this work can be liked by the mother, and the concubine is overjoyed."
