Chapter 192

As the birthday of the son of heaven, Wanshou Festival is a three-day holiday according to the rules. How can the celebration of the day be lively. In an important sense, it is before the saint birthday of the Empress Dowager and the thousand Autumn Festival of the Queen's birthday.

However, after a long time of decoration, the emperor of this dynasty is more and more reluctant to appear in the public. In addition, Wanshou Festival happens to be a summer resort in the emperor's mountain. The scale of the imperial palace is not as large as that of the Imperial City in Beijing, and many of the rehearsals cannot be put aside. So every year, the emperor will give the will of "caring" and say that it's OK to pass.

Of course He said no.

Don't say that this year happens to be the 40th birthday of the emperor. It's impossible for the emperor to "sympathize" with the topic of making a reserve.

Everyone knows that the king of Qi and the king of Yan have been preparing for the Birthday Ceremony since a long time ago. How can the atmosphere of celebration not keep up with this moment of showing filial piety?

So this longevity Festival is so powerful that the previous several times can't be compared!

Just out of the Fangfei Pavilion, the mountain wind blows, and the thick fragrance of jasmine and flowers comes.

After entering the palace, it is more like stepping into the sea of flowers. In addition to numerous flowers, there are also a variety of rich utensils, Royal special guards of honor and furnishings. If there is no palace people leading the way, the palace is like a maze for those who can walk here with their eyes closed.

Princess Yang led the people into the main hall where the banquet was held today. Many people had already arrived at the meeting.

Because it is to enter the palace to celebrate, all of them are wearing gorgeous and bright colors, looking at the colorful, not gorgeous!

After sitting down, she immediately noticed several unfriendly views - it was Princess Shouan and others. She shrugged, waited, waited Princess Yang has greeted several noblewomen nearby, but she can't see Gu's family coming to ask for trouble. Look again, Gu Arana and her family are talking to each other.

Just think about it, you will know that the other side does not want to come here and pick things. Ten out of ten is afraid of the empress Jiang.

"It's easy to lean on the mountain and plagiarize!" Autumn drag LAN secretly sighs, she is to understand that when Jiang Yadan was talking on the court, where did that careless atmosphere come from.

Just thinking of Jiang Yadan, I saw Jiang Qizheng coming here with a woman in green. Princess Yang hurriedly reminded her, "the lady in green is Tao qianbin, the eight young ladies of Jiang family. They should come to you."

This is the wife of the fourth room of the Jiang family. She will not neglect her. When they are not far away, she confirms that she is looking for her. She quickly gets up to meet them: "Your Highness is looking for me? This is? "

"This is our sister-in-law." Jiang Qizheng said with a smile, "she hasn't seen you before. When the fourth aunt hasn't passed on, she asks me to come and have a look with her!"

Qiutiailan slightly bowed her head to show her shyness. She remembered qiujinglan's advice to Ruan Ciyi. Before she passed the door, she would not change her mouth. She just laughed and shouted "sister Tao". She asked them to sit down, and then she poured tea and snacks in a smart way. This surprised little Tao. She thought, "isn't it that she is so powerful that she even jumped at the foot when she was angry? Why don't you look like it now? "

Princess Yang secretly scolded: "Xiaojian. People can be loaded!" However, he had to speak out to enliven the atmosphere, "I haven't seen the eight young ladies in some days. How are they looking these days?"

Little Tao smiled gently: "Princess Lao remembers that recently the cook's newly made mung bean and Lily soup is very appetizing, probably because she often drinks it."

"It's true that mung beans and lilies have the effect of clearing away heat and calming the nerves. It's the most nourishing thing to drink in the summer......"

Both of them are senior ladies. They are very skillful in the conversation on the scene. They are very lively in a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Qizheng pulled the autumn billows aside: "you are not asking who has beautiful flowers these days. Do you want to change some plants to green snow villa? Today's longevity Festival, there are all kinds of flowers in the palace! After everyone walks around at will during the banquet, you recognize the dream peach in front of me, and ask her to take you to choose two pots, and when you leave the palace, you can directly carry on the carriage! "

"Autumn drag LAN Leng way:" can still like this

"If you don't take it back, you'll have to move." Jiang Qizheng disagrees, "it's inconvenient to walk with so many flowers every day! Don't worry, it's past Minglu in front of Sigu, and you're not the only one to take it. It's not easy to move so many flowers down the mountain. It's common to bump into some damaged ones. "

Just a few pots of flowers, only a few money, there's no need to dig this corner

Autumn drag LAN has the heart to refuse, but looking at Jiang Qizheng's face, "see how much I care for you, how much I care for you", hesitated for a while, and nodded his head wisely: "thank you very much, your highness!"

"It's just a small thing." After Jiang Qizheng finished speaking, he went back to little Tao's side. Seeing this, little Tao casually said two sentences to finish the conversation with Princess Yang and left.

Princess Yang and others look at qiutiailan - it's obvious that Aunt Jiang came here to talk to her in private. People are curious about what she said, just think about qiutiailan's temper Seeing that she didn't mean what she said, everyone had to be silent.

Before long, a palace official came in and told them that the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress were coming. They were busy checking each other's appearance, stopping chatting and preparing to welcome them.

After a while, the internal attendant lengthened his voice to inform the emperor and Empress Dowager that they had arrived in the way of the Empress Dowager. They all hurriedly left their seats and bowed down. They all asked the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress to be happy. When all three of them were seated in the hall, the emperor ordered them to get up and kneel down again. This was the ceremony of congratulating longevity. They paid thirty-three respects in total, which made them feel depressed in autumn.After hearing the emperor's voice again, Xue Chang, the prime minister, came to the palace on behalf of all the officials, wishing his majesty a long life, while the Emperor gave him tea and soup After these ceremonies, the people can return to the table.

At this time, Qiulan noticed that there were not only three empresses, but also several concubines in the temple.

However, there are not many. The first gorgeous woman under the Phoenix seat looks like the graceful valley of Princess shou'an after she grows old. You don't need to ask, she must be the princess of the valley. Princess shou'an can be called a beauty. The princess of the valley has an extraordinary appearance. She has been in the palace for many years and cultivated a dignified demeanor. Although empress Jiang has a strong demeanor and suppressed the whole palace, she is quiet Dignified living under the queen, but also not lose the dignity of the imperial concubine.

It's just that there's a touch of bitterness between the eyebrows of the princess Gu. It's hard to avoid some conflict in today's occasion.

"I don't know if it's been bullied by Empress Jiang recently?" The Empress Dowager Gu has no choice but to take empress Jiang. The concubines in the harem, let alone the concubines, are as good as little white rabbits in front of the empress. Qiutiailan thinks of the battle for the throne that is about to be unveiled, and speculates, "if the empress can't get rid of the support of the king of Yan, empress Gu will take out the anger of his mother, Princess Gu..."

Next to Princess Gu is a woman who is only 16 or 17 years old, but has been combed in a bun. She has a goose egg face and a fresh Li cheek. Her eyes are like autumn water. In terms of her looks, she is no better than empress Jiang and Princess Gu!

This lady in autumn also knows that she is the lady in the new book. Yes, the former lady, the one who asked the cowardly emperor to ask the queen for four months, because she had an affair with Jiang Yadan. Although she was mixed up with her nephew after the incident, the Empress Dowager knew that So two years ago, he was killed.

For this reason, the emperor was sad for a long time. At last, empress Jiang became impatient and asked people to find the Yin family. As expected, the Yin family, who was not under the lady's beauty, soon comforted the emperor. Within two years, she was promoted to the position of the fourth Princess.

In addition to these two, there were three concubines present. Qiu Tailan speculated that if the queen was to take people out according to her share, it would be princess De, Princess Xian, and Lady Zhen.

However, none of them was able to receive the courtesy of the ministers, and she did not know whether it was true or not.

At this time, empress Gu, as the Royal representative, had finished her opening remarks with Xue Chang, as the representative of his subjects, and entered the stage of offering gifts - the things the empress gave to the emperor and the gifts the empress gave to the emperor were similar to those of the previous years. Anyway, these two did not need to please the emperor, just to say it.

I don't know if it's the meaning of Empress Dowager or empress. The ceremony of concubines is simply not mentioned. It's directly up to the princes and princesses - the first one is the king of Qi!

The air in the hall was suddenly filled!

Even empress Gu listened attentively to the list of rites.

"The king of Qi presented 33 crystal mirrors, 33 bronze mirrors, three pairs of white deer, one pair of seven foot high coral inlaid jade trees, two pairs of jadeite boxes, ten pairs of red crowned cranes..." The waiter who was responsible for reading the list read it aloud. At first, the palace listened quietly. Seeing that he had not finished reading it for a long time, he gradually had a whisper --

"what a big hand of king Qi!"

"It's the Queen's favorite The auspicious white deer can make up three pairs... "

"This time, his Highness the king of Qi will take the lead!"

"Shhh, the next one is his royal highness, don't speak too early!"

"Also Have you read this list for a long time? I don't know when I can finish reading it? "

"I don't know what his highness Yan Wang will give you."

"I'm afraid he's not under the royal highness of Qi, or how can the king of Yan look dignified but not worried at the moment?"

…… In the sound of stealing, the waiter finished reading the long list of rites. When he read the last few, the poor waiter was obviously hoarse.

When it came to Yan Wang's turn, he had to change an internal servant. As expected, it was not surprising that Qi Wang's birthday ceremony was ferocious, and Yan Wang was not willing to show weakness. Apart from the familiar objects, what fire cicadas are soft, clear heart and silk, but cold curtain A lot of things that most people don't know are coming out.

After listening to the discussion, Qiu Tailan has different opinions about the Birthday Ceremony of the king of Qi and the king of Yan? Otherwise, where can we fight?

After these two Highness's birthday rites, they are all in line with the rules - everyone is not a fool. This year's longevity Festival seems to be the prelude to the battle for reserve. Who dares to take the lead in the future?

It's easy to finish the ceremony. As the scene said, kabuki people came in and the feast was officially started. With the cover of singing and dancing, the atmosphere was relaxed and everyone spoke boldly.

Qiu Jinzhu asked Princess Yang with a low voice: "congratulations from your highness Can your Majesty's inner Treasury be put down? "

"What did you say?" Princess Yang said with a smile and a smile, "the eyelids are shallow. Is there any place for Tianjia to collect these things?"

Autumn drag LAN is not interested in greeting ceremony, but cut in and asked: "aunt, why just concubines?"

"The empress came up to them and was not pleased to mention them." Princess Yang said in a low voice, "if you see any concubines in the presence of a mother, you should treat her as a set-up, especially don't talk to her!"“…… This is the Lord of the six palaces! " "Autumn drag LAN corner of the mouth a smoke," the Jiang family to seize the reservoir failure, not to be stepped on in the future will never be strange This is a concubine. It's just a concubine bought by ordinary people for several liang of silver!

Although the Jiang family has only one choice to go to the end, it doesn't matter if it is in autumn. It's in wealth and danger. How can we get something for nothing in this world?

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Princess Yang was about to seize the opportunity to ask her questions and brush her feelings. Unexpectedly, a girl in pink suddenly came from behind and pulled the sleeve of qiuzhulan lightly. She called out: "Princess!"

Autumn drag LAN turn a look, it is Jiang Qi Zheng's big servant girl dream peach, can't help but stay: "now even in the banquet?"

She went to a few banquets, but also knew that at least a few dishes had to be removed from the feast? Now she only picked up her teeth!
