Chapter 50: On the eve of his birthday
Three days passed quickly, and there were only two days left before the birthday banquet, and Zhao Zili's training orchestra was going very smoothly, and the refining of bodhicitta was also going step by step, and the internal strength was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Boss, boss, I'm here, how about it, the show has been arranged." Fan Jian rushed into the palace in a hurry, and he was also a little anxious in the past few days.
"You don't have to worry about my errands, it just so happens that they are rehearsing, let's take a look." Zhao Zili walked to the backyard with Fan Jian, and Zhang Lifen stood in the middle of the crowd, her voice was high-pitched and loud, and she felt like she was dominating the world.
Fan Jian was deeply shocked when he heard that the fan in his hand had fallen to the ground.
The way it was performed like never before, the costumes were unprecedented, the instruments were perfectly coordinated, and everything was so good.
"Well, this show can give you a place on top of your birthday." Patting Fan Jian's shoulder, Zhao Zili was very satisfied with his expression.
"It's perfect, boss, you are really a genius, if you perform in Luoyang City, it will definitely be unprecedentedly full." Fan Jian's eyes lit up with countless amounts of money.
Zhao Zili's eyes lit up, could it be that this guy has talent in this area.
"Boss, I have a good one, I'll do this thing, after the birthday, I will use a shop to perform this kind of song, you think, if the queen's birthday program can be watched by ordinary people, it will definitely cause a great sensation." Fan Jian said with spit flying, and kept describing his thoughts.
Zhao Zili smiled, sure enough, this guy has a very keen business talent, so some things can be handed over to him.
Just as the two were talking, Gao Xiang came over from the front hall and said, "Lord Wang, the ninth princess is here." ”
"Since the princess is here, the boss will leave first, by the way, this matter must be kept secret from the princess."
"Got it, since the ninth sister is here, Uncle Xiang asked the ninth sister to wait for me in the lotus pond and get her some good things."
Fan Jian left from the back door, while Zhao Zili came to the lotus pond in the palace, the lotus flowers had been grateful, and the lotus seeds and lotus roots were also ripe, and he found that people in this world actually didn't eat lotus seeds and lotus roots.
"Brother Seven, what are you busy with these days?" Zhao Ziyu jumped up and down, obviously in a good mood.
"It's nothing, it's not the queen's birthday, it's coming soon, Fan Jian came to me to give him an idea, just left." Zhao Zili took the freshly picked lotus pod, and after breaking it open, he revealed the green chains inside.
"That's it, hey, what is this, Seventh Brother?" Zhao Ziyu looked at it curiously, and a fragrant breath came to her face, which made her like it very much
"This is called lotus seeds, and I will let the kitchen stew a rock sugar lotus seed soup for you in a while, so you can make sure you like it." Zhao Zili quickly dialed the lotus seeds and handed them to Gao Xiang, obviously this was not the first time he had done it.
Zhao Ziyu clapped his hands happily and said, "It's still the best Seventh Brother, and there are delicious ones again." ”
"Look at you jumping around, how did anything happy happen?"
"Hehe, the article I wrote was praised by my father." Zhao Ziyu looked proud.
"Awesome, my ninth sister is so good." Zhao Zili gave her a thumbs up.
"On the queen's birthday, I still send a big night pearl as before." Zhao Ziyu didn't have any good ideas, so he could only follow the past routine.
"It's okay, the sixth sister heard that she is also preparing a set of jewelry."
"Well, I've been to see it, it's exquisite." Zhao Ziyu pulled Zhao Zili around the palace, and she hadn't taken a good look at the new mansion.
"Seventh brother, this is like a prince's mansion, how exquisite, I heard that the second brother is bleeding heavily." Zhao Ziyu looked at the luxurious and exquisite palace, and couldn't help but admire.
"These are all things outside the body, and I only live for a month, and the sixth sister likes it very much, and when I leave, I will deal with it with you."
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyu's heart couldn't help but tremble, but then she also thought about it, Seventh Brother's happiness is the most important, and said: "Seventh Brother, I will miss you, when you settle down, I will go to Haining to see you, and then you can be the king of Haining, and I will slaughter you well." ”
"Hahaha, no problem, Pearl picks the biggest one for you." Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but be very happy when she saw that her sister also saw it, but the truth still had to be hidden from her for a while.
With the advent of the queen's birthday, the entire Luoyang Chen also fell into a state of jubilation, and every household hung up red lanterns to celebrate, which shows that Queen Nangong has won the hearts of the people.
The palace was even more jubilant, and the eunuchs and maids were all smiling, as long as they performed well, they could get a reward.
"Do a good job for our family, I don't need to say more about the queen's birthday, well done, Your Majesty's appreciation is very rich."
Cao Zhengchun, as the head of the inner house, must grasp every detail very well, which is also the reason why Emperor Wu trusts him.
On this birthday, Emperor Wu deliberately chose Zhiluo Palace, which was the palace where Empress Nangong lived when she was still a show girl, and it was also the place where Emperor Wu and her fell in love.
This place is not only wide, but also gorgeous, it can really be described as carved beams and paintings, and it is splendid. The four corners of the temple were raised high, as graceful as four swallows with wings ready to fly
In the dormitory, the cloud top sandalwood is used as a beam, the crystal jade is the lamp, the pearl is the curtain, and the fan gold is the pillar base.
The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.
The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts.
There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon.
The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into the lotus, the flowers become the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, the petals are fresh and exquisite, even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and the barefoot step is only felt warm and moist, it is actually chiseled with the warm jade of Lantian, straight as the jade lotus is born step by step.
Back then, Emperor Wu smiled for Nangong Ling, but he took great pains and put a lot of effort into building it
Although the queen is no longer in Zhiluo Palace at this time, she will often come here to rest, and the palace full of memories Queen Nangong still likes it very much.
The birthday arrangement is not only not necessary to build here, but also gorgeous enough, and can accommodate enough people.
"Your Majesty has arrived." Emperor Wu came with Empress Nangong, and the palace people who were cleaning immediately stopped their work and fell to their knees.
Cao Zhengchun also trotted all the way, hurriedly came to Emperor Wu and knelt down and said: "See Your Majesty, Niangniang, the arrangements of Zhiluo Palace are going well, please rest assured that Your Majesty Niangniang." ”
"Well, you're doing a good job, get up and let the palace people continue." Emperor Wu looked around, and it was still the same as it was back then.
Cao Zhengchun got up, waved his hand, and everyone shouted: "Your Majesty." Then he got up and went on with his work.
"Queen, you see that this place is still the same as before, the change is due to our age, we are all old."
Emperor Wu couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by, and he was no longer the boy he was at the beginning.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, how can you still be old-fashioned, the concubines don't like it." Nangong Ling's mouth twitched, looking very playful.
"Hahaha, the queen is right, I am still very young." Emperor Wu was also amused by the empress's cuteness.
"I am saying that His Majesty built Zhiluo Palace back then, and it was so luxurious, and the ministers did not oppose it."
At that time, Emperor Wu had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable, and he was also young and vigorous, and he only smiled for the beauty.
"Think about it, it was really too aggressive back then." Emperor Wu also shook his head, now he has a little less blood and courage back then.
"Speaking of which, after the Zhiluo Palace is repaired, the seventh child will be born, Concubine Ning's sister..."Queen Nangong sighed.
Speaking of Concubine Ning, Emperor Wu is also very indebted, when Emperor Wu was still the prince and was injured hunting and was rescued by Concubine Ning.
Not long after that, Emperor Wu ascended the throne, and Concubine Ning also entered the palace, and later passed away shortly after giving birth to Zhao Zili, and now even this son is...
"Okay, let's not talk about these big days, I have already asked Lao Qi to compose a poem, you must like it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." A hint of joy flashed in Empress Nangong's eyes, and sure enough, now the Seventh Prince is what His Majesty cares about the most.
Nangong Ling has been the queen for many years but has been childless, and for a long time his future position is in jeopardy, but she didn't expect that she was about to give up and suddenly gave birth to a son.
But the eleventh prince is still young, and Emperor Wu is still in the prime of life, it is better to let the eldest and the second prince fight and lose, and now holding this seventh prince, Emperor Wu can feel more virtuous.
The ability to overwhelm all the concubines and become a queen is not only cute, but also the best in the world.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Bugui asks to see." Cao Zhengchun walked over and said.
"Your Majesty, let's go get down to business first, and the minister will rest in this Zhiluo Palace for a while."
Emperor Wu nodded, turned around and went to the imperial study, thinking to himself that it seemed that the matter was completely completed.
In the imperial study, Zhou Bugui had been waiting for a long time, and Emperor Wu pushed open the door and walked in.
"See Your Majesty."
"Get up, what's going on."
Zhou Bugui stood up and said, "The Zero Pavilion is going well, and it has been confirmed that it has killed the core wind and flame of the calamity, and the Chen Mo who was caught not long ago is the epidemic. There are no signs of calamity in Luoyang City, but Prince Rong's body has not been found. ”
Emperor Wu pondered for a while and said, "Let the Zero Pavilion come back, this attack will also attract the attention of the calamity." As long as they're not stupid, they should know I'm beating them. ”
"Then Prince Rong?"
"Give it to Blood Chihiro, after all, my younger brother is dead, since there is a risk of being used by them, tell Blood Chihiro to destroy it on the spot once it is found."
Zhou Bugui's body trembled, Emperor Wu was really still Emperor Wu.
"Yes, the subordinates will go here, and there is one more matter, and all the people from the Seventh Pavilion have been recalled, and they are stationed ten miles away from King Song's new mansion."
Emperor Wu nodded and said, "Let Huo Xiang pay more attention to the environment around the palace, but don't get too close, Lao Qi's current spirit can't be disturbed too much." ”
"Yes, Wechen knows, Wechen retires."
After Zhou Bugui left, Emperor Wu said to the dark place in the imperial study: "Go to Wang Baoshan, and the seventh can't have any more accidents before he goes to the fiefdom."
There was a tremor in the black shadow, and as soon as the figure arrived, he quickly left the palace and ran towards Wang Baoshan.
