Chapter 41: Birthday Gifts
Mo Guhan felt that he liked such a pleasing dress, but because he liked it, he was paradoxically bored in his heart. She must have put a lot of thought into dressing today, just to please herself.
As the saying goes, I am disgusted in my heart, everything I do is wrong, and it is wrong not to do it.
He didn't answer, and indifferently ordered Shao Ziqing behind him: "Take the Empress Dowager's reward." ”
Rong Xiang was holding a wooden box in his hand, and he couldn't spare his hand, so Shao Ziqing stepped forward and bent down to pick up the golden bowl in Yuehua's hand.
The slender fingers stretched over and brushed Yuehua's fingertips, Yuehua's hand trembled, like a fire, and the golden bowl slipped down!
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, if the golden bowl fell to the ground, even if it would not break, on such a day, it would be very unlucky! Especially, this is the emperor's longevity bowl!
At the last moment, the golden bowl was in front of Yuehua's eyes, and the volley paused for a moment. Then Shao Ziqing quickly copied it into the palm of his hand.
Yuehua blinked, thinking that she was dazzled, so how could the golden bowl stop in mid-air? It's not a trick.
But now the golden bowl has landed firmly in the palm of Shao Ziqing's hand, which is an indisputable fact! Unless, unless, someone secretly manipulated and used an incredible invisible internal force to stop the momentum of the Golden Bowl's fall!
Who's helping themselves?
Yuehua looked up in surprise, but Shao Ziqing didn't even look at herself, turned around and went back behind Mo Guhan, standing solemnly, like a jade tree in the wind.
Shao Ziqing doesn't know martial arts, but he is just a weak scholar, so it is impossible to have such shocking kung fu. Could it be Mo Guhan? Will he come to his aid? I'm afraid that I wish I could make a joke and break out of my crime!
What's more, she and Shao Ziqing are facing each other in pairs, which just blocks the eyes before and after, and outsiders may not be aware of the changes in Shicai at all. Yuehua was puzzled, her eyes wandered for a week, and there were many unfamiliar faces.
She stood up, bowed her head suspiciously and retreated behind the Empress Dowager, Rong Xiang took a step forward, knelt in front of the Empress Dowager, and presented the congratulatory gift prepared by Mo Guhan with both hands.
It was just a square box, with natural colors, simple and clear, and no delicate and cumbersome carvings. Mo Guhan stepped forward and stretched out his hand and gently pressed the copper button on the top of the box, and the four walls of the wooden box suddenly opened, revealing an antique room, carved beams and painted buildings, ridged beasts, golden and brilliant, completely a miniature version of the palace.
Everyone in the Fushou Hall was curious, and they all stretched their necks to look here, and saw that it was a delicate wooden palace, and they didn't know the mystery.
After a while, I only heard the sound of Zazalian, and Mama Lin next to her was surprised: "Ah, the door is open!" ”
Yuehua fixed her eyes to see, the palace's closed carved doors and windows were slowly opened, showing the landscape of the palace, the screen couch, the smoker dressing table, everything, as if it was a woman's boudoir, and the gilded golden toad incense burner actually spit out cigarettes, implying a faint aroma of plum.
The hundred officials behind him couldn't see the scene in the hall clearly, but when they heard that everyone in front of them was amazed again and again, they wondered in their hearts, stood on tiptoe, and rushed to see it. From the back window, I saw that although the sparrows in the wooden house were small and complete, they should be delicately furnished, and this craftsmanship was indeed ingenious.
Before everyone's exclamations fell, Yuehua was the first to discover the mystery, her eyes widened in surprise, and she almost exclaimed out in disarray.
Because behind the screen, a lady slowly stepped out, also carved from wood, with silk threads at her hands and feet, wearing a smoky purple tulle skirt, with a towering cloud bun, a purple peony flower on the oblique hairpin, and lifelike eyebrows and eyes, like a pocket villain. The lady squirmed and walked to the side of a plan, there was a piece of yellow silk pressed by the ruler, and bent down to pick up a brush with the thickness of a wheat straw on the case, and the inkstone, dipped in thick ink, in the amazed exclamation of the onlookers, rolled up her sleeve with one hand, and waved calmly. Then neatly put away the pen, put it aside and wash the pen, grabbed the yellow silk on the table, slowly walked to the door of the hall, and was able to bend the knees fluttering, and then unfolded the silk cloth in his hand, and wrote a neat "Shou" word.
This is really such a rare object, Yuehua feels like a shadow puppet show in the hands of an old man walking the rivers and lakes on the street, but it still needs to be at the mercy of ten fingers, but this villain is completely dependent on the mechanism, every move, just right, not bad.
She looked at the villain intently, quite fondly, and there was already a lot of tsk around her.
"Can grandson's 'Magu Birthday' be able to make the emperor's grandmother happy?"
Mo Guhan's eyes floated past Yuehua, taking in her obsessive expression, and the corners of her lips were slightly smug
Mo Guhan's move made the Empress Dowager quite happy, she smiled from ear to ear, and pointed at the villain to make fun of Yuehua: "Look at how that villain's dress is so similar to you?" ”
Yuehua paid attention to this, only to feel embarrassed, and her face was flushed: "Then it should be Yuehua borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and offer her birthday to the Queen Mother." ”
Mo Guhan saw that she was being teased, and her face was as embarrassed as the brocade in the sky, spreading directly to the root of her ears, and her heart opened up, and she had the intention of teasing, and it was rare that she didn't have a horizontal eyebrow and said coldly: "Then you can take it and try it?" ”
Yuehua glanced at Mo Guhan, saw that he was serious, but it didn't seem to be a joke, and then looked at the villain who had been stiffened, and really mustered up his courage, and when he got closer, he stretched out his fingers and picked up the pair of yellow silk in the villain's hand.
The ladies emptied their hands, and made a continuous sound, blessed themselves again towards the position of the Empress Dowager, and then retreated to the screen, and the palace doors and windows slowly closed and returned to their original state.
Yuehua didn't expect the villain to move, she was shocked, took a step back in a panic, covered her mouth, opened her eyes, and her thick and curly eyelashes like butterfly wings flickered lightly twice, adding a bit of childishness.
Mo Guhan saw that she was frightened, the corners of her lips twitched invisibly twice, and then she regained her old-fashioned and cold face.
The Empress Dowager stroked her palms and laughed: "It's rare that the emperor has this mind and coaxes my family as a child." ”
The Queen Mother on the side also made fun: "Look at the queen mother, you are full of red face, aren't you an old naughty boy?" ”
Her words were immediately echoed by the sound of a warbler and a swallow, which was the hundred charms and thousands of girls in Mo Guhan's harem.
The Queen Mother greeted a few people with a smile: "The emperor has already paid homage to his birthday, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to the Queen Mother?" ”
A gust of fragrant wind swept by, the ring was tinkling, Yuehua only felt that the ring was fat and thin, dazzling, all kinds of distant mountain eyebrows, phoenix eyes and apricot eyes, red cherry lips mixed together, where to remember their eyebrows and eyes? I just felt that they were all Yaochi fairies, and I was amazed.
It is said that Mo Guhan is not lustful, there are few concubines in the harem, and they are not as good as the concubines in the rich families in the countryside, but they are just a few small masters. Today, I can see that the flowers are red and willow green, and all the beautiful things are incomprehensible, and they have been all over the world.
The Empress Dowager said "good" in a loud voice, and commanded: "You all have a heart, mourning the family is very happy, enjoy the feast!" ”
The hundred officials in the hall immediately turned over and bowed to the ground, and congratulated in unison: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward, and the Empress Dowager will live with Tianqi." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled, and was about to pardon everyone, when two people broke in in a panic outside the hall.
Yuehua raised her eyes and saw that it was not the Lian family and Chang Lingyan who were dressed up.
Because the two of them ran in a hurry, their temples were crooked, and they were a little embarrassed, regardless of the guards outside the palace, they ran in panting, and it was when everyone in the hall bowed their heads, so the pestle was particularly eye-catching at the door.
The Empress Dowager raised her hand quietly, and all the officials were flat, and they were all in place, so she whispered to the wife on the side to prepare for the banquet as a birthday celebration.
Chang Lehou secretly turned to Lian's side, a little anxious: "If you two don't go to Ci'an Palace to pay homage to her old man's birthday, where did you go?" Why are you here now? ”
Lian and Chang Lingyan fell into the trap of Rong Lu, the eunuch of Ci'an Palace, and they didn't know where they went. When the god was tired, the little eunuch who led the way casually found an excuse to disappear and left the two of them halfway.
After the Lian family straightened up, the Hou Mansion had declined, and he had never entered the palace, so he had already changed direction. walked with Chang Lingyan and the others all the way, inquired all the way, and complained to each other all the way, but they became more and more desolate, and they actually went to the Huanyi place.
The grandmother there saw that it was the marquis of the court, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she sent a palace person to take the two to Ci'an Palace, the time was already late, and she knelt at the door for a long time to plead guilty, and was reprimanded by Qin Mama for splitting her head and covering her face, only to know that the Empress Dowager and her party had already gone to Fushou Palace. In a panic, he inquired all the way and trotted over, and he was already anxious.
