Chapter 120, Horse Thief
April 25 is the birthday of the twelfth elder brother, because he is the son of the middle palace, even if he is still young, he will also hold a lively and grand birthday banquet for him, all the princes have arrived, even the eldest princess has brought her husband and children.
What's even more rare is that even Yongying, a lonely brother, is smiling and pleasant to the twelve elder brothers all day long. But as for birthday gifts, you don't have to expect it to be anything new and valuable.
Yongying gave his twelfth brother a hand-copied Analects, but it was exactly the same word.
Giving such a gift, everyone is already surprised.
Yongying delivered the gift, and then sneaked to the seat of the eldest princess's family, and bumped Yongxu with his elbow: "That set of colorful little wooden horses, give me a look first." ”
Yongsu was holding a candied fruit in her mouth, and her eyes widened, as if to say: How do you know?!
Yongying was not polite, and saw that Yongxu's personal maid was holding a square box with a red eight horses, so he simply took it and opened it directly.
Yongying smiled secretly in his heart: Sure enough, Fucha Yingyue is coaxing like a child when she is the twelfth brother!
So he smiled and closed the lid of the box, and whispered, "Not bad, quite interesting stuff." ”
Yongxu's eyes were shining: "Yes, yes! Yueniang is really, why didn't she give me such a fun and interesting thing! As she spoke, Yongsu pursed her lips and looked unhappy.
Yongzhen: You're still a little hairy girl who hasn't grown up......
This set of paint-filled ponies is not valuable, but it is the favorite of the twelve elder brothers. After that, I just asked someone to check it a little, and when I saw that there was nothing unusual, I was relieved, and I couldn't help but admire this loyal and brave princess's Hui Zhilan heart.
In May, Qianlong took the children of the concubines to the Summer Palace of the Old Summer Palace to avoid the noise and listen to the government, and all the courtiers who had summer resorts in the northern suburbs also dragged their families and followed.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Princess Hejing held a lotus viewing banquet and invited relatives to go to Shujing Garden to taste wine and visit the garden.
The lotus flower at this time is naturally a water lily, which is in full bloom, so the lotus tasting banquet is set up in the water pavilion by the water lily pond.
Fortunately, with such a princess cousin who likes to hold all kinds of fancy banquets, Yingyue can finally be temporarily relieved from the heavy etiquette rules and have half a day of leisure.
Minyi's sister-in-law was heavy, so it was naturally inconvenient to go, so Eniang took her with her.
In Shujing Garden, the lake alone accounts for half of the area, and the lotus leaves on the lake are rippling, and a lot of flowers and bones have been raised.
Yingyue held a tin pot and sat in the promenade by the lake, blowing a breeze and drinking a little wine, which was called a pleasant.
"You didn't go to see the newly blooming water lilies, but you came to see the flower bones!" There was a banter behind him.
Ying Yue hurriedly got up and saluted, "The eldest princess invited the female relatives today, what kind of eleventh elder brother...... "You are a flower viewing banquet, what are you doing here?"
Yongying shook his eyebrows: "It's because there are mostly women on the side of the water lily pond that it's hard for me to come over." Thinking that the lotus flowers on the lake had not bloomed at this time, they should be the most pure, but I didn't expect to meet you. "-It's strange, I guessed that you would come to such a pure place.
Ying Yue couldn't help but smile and raised the tin pot in her hand, "Do you want to have a drink?" ”
"What wine?"
"Lotus stamen." Today is to enjoy the lotus and taste the wine, in order to meet the occasion, the eldest princess prepared the lotus stamen.
"It's okay." Yong Ying had a reluctant expression.
Yingyue: ...... This stinky little old man!
So he asked Qingmei to run and get another glass wine cup, which was shaped like a budding lotus flower, and also came with a lotus-shaped chrysoprase tray, just like a lotus flower blooming on a lotus leaf - the eldest princess was really a graceful person - a very rich elegant person.
And the color of this lotus stamen, is a faint gold, such as the color of lotus stamens, thick as pulp wine with the delicate mouth of the tin pot gently injected into the bud-shaped wine cup, green leaves and safflower light golden stamen, the end is elegant!
Yong Ying picked up the wine cup, took a sip lightly, and said, "This is the lotus stamen that has been cellared for at least fifteen years. ”
- This door-picker has a dog's tongue.
Yong Ying suddenly smiled and said, "The gift you gave to the twelfth brother before was very interesting, and it was the most suitable to coax a child like him." The seven ponies were in different shapes, and they were cute and cute, and the twelve brothers liked them very much. ”
Ying Yue was stunned: "Seven??" "One less for Mao?
Yongying looked suspicious: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
The corners of Ying Yue's mouth twitched a few times: "I gave eight ponies, which is just enough for eight horses." ”
Yongzhen: Those cute little ponies are actually eight horses??!
Ying Yue's face showed a strange look: "When I handed it over to Yongsu, there were still eight in the box." ”
Yongzhen: "When Yongxu was handed over to the twelfth brother, it was seven. ”
Yingyue's black line: So, whoever embezzled that one was the lice on the monk's head.
"Poof!" Yongying couldn't help but burst out laughing, "No wonder, I just saw Yongsu playing with a pink pony, it turns out—"
Yingyue has a black line, you are the daughter of the princess! Do you want to be so embarrassed? A paint-filled pony is actually corrupt?! Unpromising!
Huh? The pink pony you lost? Yes, Yongxu saw this one at a glance that day, and I couldn't put it down.
Therefore, Yongsu really didn't let go! -_-||
Ying Yue held her forehead, revealing a helpless look.
Immediately, I only heard the coquettish voice of Yongsu from the depths of the flowers and trees behind him: "Don't pull and pull!" ”
Hearing this voice, Ying Yue hurriedly stood up, and she subconsciously wondered if Prince Ding Miande refused to accept the reality and came to pester Yongsu?
However, the voice of a puffing boy sounded next: "You still don't admit it!" Let's go and confront Fuchagege! ”
Yingyue showed a strange look, what are you confronting me? And this voice, why is it a little familiar? She glanced at Yong Ying suspiciously.
The corners of Yongying's mouth were raised high, "It seems to be the twelfth brother." ”
Yingyue: ...... Heheda, you were called corrupt, and now you have been caught, right? It's just that how did the twelfth elder brother know that Yongxu had embezzled one?
Soon the answer came out of the flowers: "I feel strange, obviously there are eight horses on the box, how can there be seven in it?!" You handed it over, and you must have deducted one without permission! You pay me back! ”
Ying Yue nodded, very smart baby!
Yongxu was anxious: "I, I don't have it!" ”
Yongying glanced at Yingyue, "What are you going to do?" Do you want to get out of the way? ”
Ying Yue sighed helplessly, "I'd better go over and explain." So he put down the wine cup, walked out of the corridor, and along the winding stone road, found the two nephews and uncles who were blushing and thick-necked in the middle of the road.
