Festival near the Dragon Boat Festival, this year's emperor's longevity celebration was held ceremoniously, this year is a good day for the emperor to ascend to the pole for ten years, and Xianfeng is 30 years old, Su Shun in March after the household silver ticket corruption case, on the excerpt please celebrate the emperor's 30th birthday in accordance with the Kangqian two generations of emperors of the longevity celebration specifications, Xianfeng's heart is extremely happy, but the face is not revealed, just the Su Shun fold left in the middle, so that the ministers do not know what the emperor means? Although it is a day of peace and tranquility for internal and external troubles, but the emperor wants to be happy, to be decent, who will not be funny, more and more enthusiastic to fold the excerpts to the emperor's Halloween Festival special event, although Prince Yi is a wine bag and rice bag, in the end is not stupid, now although Suzhou has fallen, but this Suzhou's best female Dan drama still spent a lot of money to collect it and send it to the Old Summer Palace, I don't know how many concubines waiting for the emperor's favor almost hated Zaiyuan. The emperor finally pushed half and half done, and the queen added fuel to the fire, and then ordered to organize the longevity festival, and went to the Qiansu banquet program where the two generations of emperors of Kangqian and Qianqian celebrated the longevity festival, and other "imitation of the Qianlong year".

Now as long as the emperor is happy, Xingzhen has no reason to do so, what kind of money is there? There is no inner library, as long as you ask Su Shun for it, just nod your head casually, who wouldn't spend money?

By the beginning of June, the feudal officials and officials of the central government in various places had to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. On the day of the Wanshou Festival, on the ninth day of the sixth month, the emperor ascended to the throne in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Old Summer Palace and accepted the congratulations and contributions of the princes and officials. The birthday gifts paid by the princes and officials are very particular. Basically, it can be summed up by the words "fine, rare and strange". Most of the birthday gifts are ruyi, bonsai, clocks, interstitials, lacquerware, weaving and embroidery and other exquisite handicrafts, and the content is based on the theme of blessing, longevity and auspiciousness. Birthday gifts highlight the meaning of blessing and birthday celebrations from both the ornamentation and the shape. After the birthday gift, the emperor had to give a banquet to his ministers. The royal Golden Dragon Feast is extraordinarily sumptuous and has strong Manchu characteristics. The "Birthday Banquet" has a total of 20 hot dishes. Twenty cold dishes, four soup dishes, four side dishes, four fresh fruits, and twenty-eight melons and fruits. There are 29 items of pasta such as dim sum, cakes, and cakes, totaling 109 items. The dishes are mainly chicken, duck, goose, pig, deer, sheep, pheasant, and wild boar, supplemented by fungus, bird's nest, mushrooms, mushrooms, etc. After the emperor is seated, the banquet begins, and hot dishes and soup dishes are served. After eating, offer milk tea. Finish, withdraw from the banquet table. Then the wine and food are served. The birthday banquet lasts for four hours, is set up at noon, is held from time to time, and ends at the end of the day. During the Wanshou Festival, slaughter is prohibited by the people, and the killing of criminal prisoners is officially prohibited. It is forbidden to wear plain clothing, and all must be bright clothing. From the imperial court to the local governments, they ignored the government affairs related to criminal cases for several days.

On the second day, the prince and the ministers of the sect held a banquet in the depths of the cave, and on the third day, June 11, the emperor was impatient to deal with outsiders, and the banquet of the Mongolian kings and the living Buddha of Tibet was canceled in the Chengxin Hall of Qichun Garden, and only in the Qingyin Pavilion the concubines who lived in the garden were summoned to listen to the play for fun. I ordered a few favorites, and asked the concubines to click out one in turn, and the concubines knew that the emperor was impatient to watch the lively scenes of fairies and ghosts, and they loved those lyrics and songs the most. Those who sang the timeless lingering little drama did what they liked, and ordered a few of the most brilliant plays in the southern opera, such as the Peony Pavilion Jade Hairpin Ji Peach Blossom Fan Nan Kemeng, which attracted the emperor to nod again and again, and the iced imperial wine was one cup after another.

Xingzhen finished watching the "Farewell to the Long Pavilion" of "The Legend of the West Chamber", and pretended to be Zhang Sheng and said to Cui Yingying: "What words do you have to tell Xiaosheng?" ”

That Cui Yingying made a soft intestine and a broken liver and intestines. Facing the affection in Zhang Sheng's eyes, he wanted to stop talking, and the small gong behind him urged urgently, Cui Yingying could only sing with tears: "You don't worry about the blessings of the text, I'm just afraid that you will stop your wife and marry again." Hugh wants a spring fish and geese without news! I have letters here that Qingluan has to send frequently, but you are on the "gold list without a name and vow not to return". In this section, you must remember: If you see the flowers and plants in a foreign land, you will rest as if it is too late to live here. ”

Hearing the last section of Concubine Li's eyes, the tears couldn't help but roll down, no matter how she wiped it with a handkerchief, Xingzhen looked funny, but is it just a play, look at the time, the emperor stared intently at the stage on the side, Xingzhen stood up, Anqian stepped forward to support herself, Xingzhen turned around, went around to the screen, and walked down the Qingyin Pavilion, "What about Xiao Anzi?" ”

"There's a lady waiting over there," Ancy obviously knew where the queen was going, "and those heads are ready, just waiting for the lady to use them." ”

"Okay, take me there."

The emperor read the "Adopted Son" of the White Rabbit in a row, and this party was satisfied, so he took a sip of ginseng tea with his wishful hand, turned his head and wanted to say a few words to Xingzhen, and when he saw that the queen was not at the table, he asked Fan'er, who was waiting on the side: "Where did the queen go?" ”

Fan'er bowed her head slightly, "Back to the emperor, Niangniang went to change her clothes, and said that she would come back immediately, and there was no need to wait for her." ”

"Maybe the queen has never liked to listen to dramas, so let her go," Xianfeng nodded and asked the eunuch standing behind Shengping, "What's the play?" ”

"It's Xipi Erhuang outside, and a new drama has been discharged," the eunuch in charge of the Shengping Department was extremely eye-catching, "Everyone knows that Long Live Lord is the most proficient in the pear garden, and I don't dare not take a look at the emperor first, check it!" ”

"Huh?" The emperor was interested, "What is it?" ”

"The name is Guifei Drunk, and it tells the story of Yang Guifei during the time of Emperor Tang Ming."

"Then let's get on it, I haven't seen a new drama in a few years, but I want to see how it goes." The emperor urged repeatedly, and the eunuch in charge of the affairs hurriedly responded, ordering people to start the play.

Jinghu sounded, babbling, and the emperor smiled at Yang Qingxi: "This Jinghu is not bad," Yang Qingxi smiled: "With him, when he comes to the Lord of Long Live, he can see what the style is clear." The Emperor wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a towel, "Let's take a look." (To be continued.) )
