Chapter Twenty-Four: Feng Guifei Yueqingfang
Yesterday, Concubine Yun gave birth to two little princes, and early this morning, it spread in the palace.
It seems that the deeper the palace is lonely, the more interesting and curious this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts are about the birth of new life.
When the prince was born, the happiest natural number was the emperor.
Before dawn, the emperor issued a holy decree, promoted Concubine Yun's concubine, promoted to the rank of concubine, and gave her the title of Ying.
Secondly, three days later, the emperor and the concubines will go to the imperial temple to pray for blessings, and then hold a feast in the Shangyuan Hall to celebrate the birth of the prince.
When the courtiers heard the sound, they went back to their homes to discuss with their parents and wives what kind of congratulatory gifts should be given during the three court ceremonies, so as not to fall into the cheesy and take the lead.
After all, the emperor attaches so much importance to it, and these courtiers naturally want to compete to leave a good impression on the emperor, and it is promising to be promoted to the knighthood in the future.
β¦β¦
In Baguio Palace, Concubine Ying rested for a while and finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the emperor resting beside the bed with his chin propped up and his eyes closed.
Concubine Ying spoke, her voice a little hoarse: "Your Majesty ......"
The emperor was excited and nervous all night, and finally at dawn, he immediately issued a holy decree, and hurried back to the Baguio Palace.
I finally relaxed, and I fell asleep without squinting.
Hearing that Concubine Yun was calling him, the emperor hurriedly opened his eyes.
"How does the concubine feel?" The emperor asked anxiously, and folded the quilt with his hand, so as not to catch a cold on the bed.
Concubine Ying smiled softly: "After a good night's sleep, it will be much better." Your Majesty, lie down in bed and sleep for a while, don't get tired. β
The emperor smirked: "No need, I'm happy!" "Jin'er, you are now a person who has made great contributions, and you are the hero of my Universiade Dynasty!"
The corners of her mouth were still a little pale, and she said embarrassedly: "Giving birth to Lin'er for the emperor is a matter within the concubine's responsibility. Your Majesty, you are the Ninety-Five Supreme, you don't need to do this, now you are ashamed of Jin'er. β
Hearing this, the emperor was even more moved in his heart, and was busy thinking about how to better compensate and reward the beloved concubine in front of him.
β¦β¦
Last night, the mysterious person who was looking for Di to track down the changer, all the way to Dongcheng District, but he didn't expect that the person disappeared in Yueqingfang in the end.
From the silk, frowning and pondering for a long time.
Yueqingfang is the largest green building in Dongcheng District, when it opened a few years ago, the battle was quite large, and many dignitaries and nobles loved to go there.
After that, it strongly attracted most of the business in the imperial city.
With such a strong enemy on the face, he never thought of fighting with it.
At the beginning of the year, she had planned to reopen all the Qinglou properties in the imperial city, but due to various complicated matters, it was delayed until now.
I heard that the origin of the master behind Yueqing Fang is not simple, and even unfathomable. Now combined with last night's incident, Congsi feels more and more that Yueqingfang is a strong opponent.
In the evening, after going to Baguio Palace from Si to see Concubine Ying, he made sure that he had recovered a lot, so he went to Yueqing Fang with Xun Di.
At night, the streets are lit up, and the warm yellow candlelight pours down the entire market.
The two disguised themselves as playing men, dressed as scholars, holding folding fans, talking and laughing.
After passing through Qixiang Street, it is Yanliu Lane.
Yueqing Fang, it stands majestically in the middle of the position. Entering the alley, both sides of the road are full of green buildings and bathhouses, which meet the various needs of visitors.
Although these two industries are nothing more than ninth-rate things in the eyes of the world. But it is precisely with these ninth-rate things that countless poor families are fed.
The high-ranking people in the imperial city, who lived exquisitely, said that they looked down on these lowly industries, but they proved with their physical actions that they had terrible desires and dirty hearts.
Carefully observe the surrounding shops, and every house has hung proud signs, especially the green building, which is full of lights, red, green, pink and purple.
The whole alley was filled with the hot smell of fragrant soup wafting from the bathhouse and the smell of rouge gouache in the green building.
In front of each shop, there are beautiful women and handsome young men who shout at customers.
"Guest officer, do you want to come to my bathhouse to bubble?!"
"Here, we can get pedicures and pinching feet, massage massage, and take care of fashionable hairstyles!"
On the other side: "Guest officer, don't go to their house, come to us." β
"Our shop has recently launched a ginseng bath and a snow lotus bath! The ones used are all authentic Changbai Mountain ginseng and Western Regions Snow Lotus ......"
"The effect of the medicine is absolutely top-notch! Keep that you soaked the first time, and you want to soak it a second time! β
In front of the Qinglou on the opposite side: "Guest officer, what kind of fragrant soup and bath soup it is, it's best to come to the little girl first!" β
"In our workshop, we not only provide delicious food, but also have beauties to accompany us!"
"Regardless of whether you want to be a performer or not, our girl here is a first-class good!"
The two of them are dressed handsomely, especially Xun Di, who is eight feet long, with an elegant posture, thin snow and frost posture, and a domineering attitude.
The two were warmly invited, but they looked at each other.
Especially when a scantily clad Qinglou woman suddenly threw herself into her arms like a butterfly, she was so frightened that she immediately pushed people to Xun Di, as if the beauty surrounded by the fragrance was a hot thing.
The two couldn't push and pull, and hurriedly ran into Yueqing Fang.
When everyone saw it, their faces were immediately displeased. It's Yueqing Fang again!
β¦β¦
Entering the gorgeous and wealthy gate of Yueqing Fang, the old bustard who was covered with fat powder greeted him with a smile, and greeted him with a silk fan in his hand: "Ouch, which son is this!?" is so handsome and elegant, presumably excellent in learning, full of poetry and books! β
"The girls in our Yueqing Fang are all extremely talented, not only familiar with poetry, but also good poetry! Even the officials in the court praised the girls in our workshop as rare talented women! β
Unhurriedly, he said, "Ohβis it? Then mom has to pick a few smart girls for the two of me. My eldest brother likes such a woman the most! β
Xun Di on the side looked cold, and a pair of starry eyes looked at Congsi, as if he wanted to nail him to the big pillar at the door.
Congsi continued to add oil and vinegar, and took the initiative to get close to the bustard's ear: "My eldest brother - I also like those who not only have handsome faces, but also handsome bodies, Mom, are there such girls in your workshop?" β
When the old bustard heard this, he laughed and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Yes! Some! In our workshop, there is no shortage of such girls! Guaranteed to satisfy your brother! β
From Si Gang's whispering, he had already been heard clearly by Xun Di, who had deep internal strength.
I saw that Xun Di's face was even more expressionless, and his face was about to turn into ice. But in the eyes of the old bustard, it will be a pretending to be serious.
The old bustard smiled proudly in his heart, and he praised it again, and laughed so much that his eyes were gone.
"Youlan - Lizhu, Yingying, Miaoqiu - quickly brought the two sons into the table!"
The old bustard pestered the two of them, pinching his throat and shouting, almost deaf his ears.
Not long after the words fell, I saw four or five beautiful and pretty girls greet me: "Mom, but these two sons?" β
A few girls were shy, pinching their handkerchiefs and smiling, but they were like flowers in spring, with a variety of charms.
The old bustard pushed the two silk into the arms of those girls, and instructed: "My good daughter, you must serve the two sons well, don't let the sons lose their interest!" β
A girl in a long peonized green dress pursed her red lips high: "Mom doesn't believe me?" β
"Hmph, let's go, two sons, the little girl must serve the two sons well today, so that her mother will not look down on her!"
As he spoke, the two of them were pushed and hugged by a few girls with fragrant powder, and went straight to the elegant seat on the second floor.
