Chapter 409 Birthday Gift
Gu Wanning pinched her pink cheeks: "You can't say this again, you will inevitably cause trouble when you are heard." ”
She has never put the lord of Furou in her eyes, a woman with no brains, it is not too easy to clean up, but she didn't expect her father to be so ruthless, not only took back her fief but also beat people with twenty rods, what a pity!
Lin Qingyin blushed and said, "The concubine is not so stupid, so she won't go out and talk about it." Everyone here is their own people, who would spread this kind of words? ”
Sun Qiuyu also echoed: "That's right, that's right, it's not that I want to say anything in my own house, anyway, everyone has been sent out by the princess, and Sister Lin doesn't have to worry about being passed on if she says anything." ”
"Okay, okay, as far as you are smart, count me as nothing."
Everyone laughed for a while, and Lin Qingyin suddenly said: "The emperor's birthday next month, although it is a small birthday, and the emperor has been thrifty, the princes and harem concubines still have to get together to celebrate the emperor, is the princess ready for gifts?" ”
Gu Wanning nodded: "I have some ideas, but I don't know if my father will like it." ”
Lin Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have an idea, anyway, there is still more than half a month left on the emperor's birthday, with last year's picture of "Hundred Carp Celebrating Birthday", the princess doesn't need to be in the limelight this year, the gift is almost enough.
Ten days passed in a flash, and King Ming Xuan also waited for a reply from Xirong Kingdom, and King Xirong was eager to save his son and agreed to exchange 3.5 million taels of gold for the prince, and 3.5 million taels of gold were already on the way to Daxing, asking Daxing to exchange the prince at the border.
At the same time, the emperor also received a secret letter from the secret agent lurking in Xirong, the old emperor of Xirong State is indeed ready for gold to be transported to the border, and the old emperor seems to really want to negotiate peace this time.
Although it was 500,000 taels less than the four million taels of gold proposed by Gu Xian, this price had already exceeded the emperor's expectations, and he naturally agreed.
So after King Xuan of Ming handed over a reply letter from Emperor Xirong, the two sides signed a contract of compensation, and the amount of compensation was 3.5 million taels.
Because there is no need to sign a hundred-year good agreement at the border, bah, it is a contract of friendship between the two countries for 30 years, and the emperor directly issued two holy decrees, ordering Commander Li of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to lead an elite army to send Prince Xirong to the border in exchange for those gold.
The second is to order Gu Xian to compensate for the women of Ganzhou who were sent to drive the hexagram.
The emperor also sent a team of secret guards to Gu Xian very intimately to protect him.
In the court, all the courtiers quietly looked at Gu Xian.
Gu Xian looked at these people with a calm face, he really didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would still be able to be a Qincha!
The next day, the team escorting Prince Xirong set off, Gu Wanning personally went to the city gate to see off her father, it may not be safe on the way to Ganzhou, she is also very worried, fortunately, she knows that her father is protected by secret guards, and the eldest brother is also by her father's side, so she is a little relieved.
……
Before the emperor's birthday, Gu Wanning nested in the room for more than ten days, and also dragged Ye Hanyu to mess around together, and was busy in Jiucuizhai for three whole days, and finally got a birthday gift, on October 13, the two couples entered the palace with gifts.
At this time, the palace was already full of red silk, a beaming look, and after completing all the processes, it was finally time for everyone to offer birthday gifts in Chaoyang Palace.
The concubines, the princes, the princesses, and several important ministers sat in their respective positions, and there were palace maids who came in and put exquisite dishes on the table.
Somehow, in previous years, everyone was to see which prince or concubine gave the most valuable gifts, but this year it has changed.
Everyone's eyes kept sweeping to Yujun Wang and his wife.
The angry prince An Wang and others who gave the birthday gift first were depressed for a while, but their birthday gift took a lot of effort to find it, but as a result, no one cared about it by the old six.
Hey, it's no wonder that those people look down on the gifts they give, who made the gift given by the sixth last year too brilliant, it's a good thing that can't be exchanged for silver, they also want to have it, but unfortunately they don't have that life!
However, it was useless for these people to be in a hurry, because the two of them had applied in advance, saying that their gifts would not be sent until the last one, and the emperor had already agreed.
When Ye Hanyu and his family came on the field, everyone's eyes looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and the emperor also had a strong sense of expectation.
"Erchen prepared three small gifts for his father this time, all of which were made by the princess, not worth any silver, and I hope my father will not dislike it."
Gu Wanning hurriedly said: "These are not done by the sons alone, the prince is also involved, although things are very ordinary, but I still hope to please my father and the emperor." ”
"Okay, okay, you two don't forget to ask for credit for each other when you give a birthday gift, hurry up and send your birthday gift, I'm in a hurry."
Only then did the two stand up, and as soon as Ye Hanyu clapped his hands, eight little eunuchs carefully carried things into the main hall.
The object was tightly covered by a fiery red cloth, but judging by the size, it should be a screen.
Waiting for the little eunuch to put the things away, Ye Hanyu personally walked over and picked up the red cloth on the screen, followed by everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, this is indeed a screen, made of Nanmu frame, carved with beautiful patterns, and the screen is painted with flowers of different shapes competing for fragrance and beauty, and there are bees and butterflies flying in the flowers, it seems that the scenery on the painting is like living.
When everyone first saw it, they felt that the embroidery skills on this screen were indeed fascinating, but after seeing it for a long time, they were a little disappointed.
No matter how good the embroidery is, there are embroiderers who can embroider it, which is really not too rare.
Gu Wanning explained with a smile: "Father, the pattern on this screen was painted by the prince of the county himself, and the pattern on the frame was also carved by him, and I hope my father likes it." ”
The emperor stood up and walked to the screen, he sat on the throne, a little far away, the painting on the screen was not too clear, and because Ye Hanyu just lifted the red cloth and put it on the frame, he couldn't see the patterns on the frame, so he directly ripped the red cloth apart.
As the emperor's action fell, there was a gasping sound behind the screen, and the emperor asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Changhai walked behind the screen and glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Your Majesty, there are words behind the screen." ”
The emperor immediately walked around the back of the screen, and then he saw the big words behind the screen: Long life without borders!
Six feet long, three feet high embroidered cloth, these beautiful italic characters, pleasing to the eye, take a closer look, these four words are all composed of a small longevity word, one side of the screen is a hundred flowers, the other side is completely irrelevant longevity!
