Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 200 Wanxian’s Birthday ([-]) (Flowers will be added)
After Kangxi was fully dressed, he got on the sedan chair and took Liang Jiugong to Danningju.

Wanxian was served by Nurse Gu, Yunxia, ​​Qiaoguo, etc., and put on a fragrant dragon robe, because in spring, she deliberately did not wear an azure-colored blouse.On her head was a diamond with folded flowers and longevity characters that Kangxi gave to Wanxian two days ago specially for Wanxian's birthday.

The mother-of-pearl is decorated with various kinds of flowers, including pearls, corals, jade, tourmaline and other beads, with green lining and gold-plated copper base.The floral decorations include auspiciousness, longevity, butterflies, coins, cranes, Ganoderma lucidum, orchids, longevity peaches, wishful thinking, pens, gourds, flower baskets, dragonflies, geraniums, pomegranates, auspicious clouds, etc., which mean longevity and good luck for generations to come.The beautiful meaning of this diamond is exactly Kangxi's affection for Wanxian.

Nanny Gu carefully put on Wanxian the diamond with the Chinese characters for longevity and longevity on it. While putting it on, she said, "Mother, please take a look at this diamond for yourself. It's so delicate. You can tell at a glance how much Lord Long Live loves you." .”

"Ah, it's so heavy. Nanny, I know that Long Live Master is good to me." Wanxian said happily while touching the hairpin on her head.

"Your Majesty, look at how beautiful this necklace looks when you put it on." Qiaoguo said jokingly behind Wanxian.

"No, I originally thought that my Majesty is too young to be able to suppress this piece of hair. But I didn't expect that after My Majesty put it on, she looked even more majestic and energetic." Yunxia also picked up nice things to say to Wanxian.

Wanxian also said: "I originally thought that wearing it would make me look old-fashioned, but I didn't expect it to be so appropriate."

"How could this be inappropriate? Madam, I heard what Eunuch Liang said. Eunuch Liang said that this diamond was specially made by the House of Internal Affairs for you." Nanny Gu said truthfully.

"I'm hungry, please let someone pass the food around." Wanxian touched the hair on her head, stood up carefully, and said.

Yunxia and Qiaoguo quickly supported Wanxian on both sides.

Wanxian waved away Yunxia and Qiaoguo's hands and said, "Although this diamond is heavy, it is still lighter than Chaoguan. I can walk by myself." After saying that, Wanxian walked out carefully.

Yunxia and others quickly followed Wanxian.While talking, Wanxian sat on the Eight Immortals table.

Wei Zhu quickly instructed the little eunuch outside the door to bring the food box in quickly.The maids hurriedly presented the dishes again.

Nanny Gu carefully brought a bowl of longevity noodles in front of Wanxian and said, "Mother, this is longevity noodles. Lord Long Live specially ordered her to use all the bowl of longevity noodles."

"Okay, I'll eat it all." Wanxian happily picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up the longevity noodles and put them into her mouth.After Wanxian finished the bowl of longevity noodles, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

By chance, Wei Zhu hurriedly walked in and reported: "Empress Qi, Empress An and noble Bu are here."

Wanxian hurriedly ordered: "Please come in quickly." Wanxian stood up and hurriedly went outside to greet him.The front was just in time to meet An Bin and Bu Guiren who were coming.

Concubine An was supported by Lady Bu and Grandma Yun, and the eunuchs and maids behind her were carrying gifts decorated with red silk.

As soon as Concubine An saw Wanxian, she boasted, "It's your birthday. As soon as you came in from the outside, you saw that the whole room was hung with red silk. How can others have such a blessing?"

"No, these slaves were all beaming with joy as soon as they came in. Needless to say, you must have given them wedding money." Since the Bugui people knew that they were expected to be able to become concubines, their spirits were different.In fact, when the Bugui people were young, they also thought about being promoted.But year after year, year after year, the older I get, the less hope I have.I had given up the idea at first, but when it was suddenly brought up, I was naturally happy.

Wanxian smiled and said sheepishly: "They kowtowed to me early in the morning to celebrate my birthday. The Lord Long Live made the decision and rewarded them with two months of monthly income."

"This is a rare grace, and it is also your dignity. In all these years, I have never seen Master Long live with such care. The hairpin on your head must have been rewarded by Master Long live." An Bin has always regarded Wanxian as her daughter. Yes, her daughter is doing well, and An Bin is extremely happy.

Wanxian listened to An Bing's boast, quickly reached out and touched the hairpin on her head, and said, "It's a new reward from Lord Long Live. Empress, Lord Bu, let's go in and talk." Wanxian then invited An Bing and Bu The noble man came into the hall to talk.

An Bin was arranged by Wanxian to be the first seat on the left side, and she was very satisfied. After all, she respected the left side.

The nobleman sat down under An Bin and said: "What you are wearing today is noble and spiritual. It's just that your neck is empty, which is not good. You may wear a string of beads or a collar. They are all excellent." Bu Guiren pointed at Wanxian carefully.After decades in the palace, Bugui people still have this sense of aesthetics. "Okay. Nurse, please go to the room and get a string of beads." Wanxian nodded and responded.

After hearing this, Nanny Gu immediately walked to the bedroom. "etc."

Concubine An stopped Nanny Gu and said, "I remember, didn't Long Live the Lord reward you with a gemstone collar years ago? Just wear that one, it is both decent and beautiful."

"Yes, I'll go right away." After the nurse Gu saluted, she immediately walked into the dormitory.After a while, he held out a fine rosewood box with both hands.

Nanny Gu carefully placed the wooden box on the table in the main hall, and then carefully opened the wooden box, revealing a pair of pearly silver and gold-plated coral gemstone necklaces inside.

Wanxian put the collar on her neck under the service of Nurse Gu and Yunxia.

"Look, such a noble empress can only be raised in the palace." Concubine An looked at the bejeweled Wanxian beside her with satisfaction and said proudly.

Bu Guiren looked at Wanxian, although there was envy in his eyes, there was no jealousy.How great it would be if I had this dignity and honor back then.After all, Wanxian is lucky.When he thought of this, Bu Guiren finally remembered the business and hurriedly said to the palace maid behind him: "Quickly, bring me the birthday gift."

The palace maid quickly handed the congratulatory gift to Bu Guiren.

After Bu Guiren took it, he quickly brought the gift to Wanxian.The nobleman opened the gift and revealed a pair of peach blossom head and face made of red agate, which was extremely delicate.He said to Wanxian: "This appearance was given to me by Lord Long Live the year I gave birth to the princess."

Wanxian quickly took it and thanked Mr. Bu: "Thank you, Mr. Bu, but how dare you do this?"

"It's nothing. I was young then, but now that I'm old, I don't wear it anymore. Now that I think about it, it's still suitable for you to wear it. This is a gift for you, so you can't refuse it." Seeing Wanxian's refusal, Bu Guiren said quickly.

"Then Wanxian would be disrespectful." Wanxian said and gave Bu Guiren a blessing gift to express her gratitude.

"Then take a look at my congratulatory gift. When I was young, my favorite item in my wedding was this pair of jewel-patterned blond hairpins. These were treasures handed down from the Ming Dynasty. They are still shining brightly after so many years." An The concubine handed a small box to Wanxian and explained while handing it to Wanxian.

Wanxian took the small box and opened it, revealing a pair of hairpins inside.The pair of jewel-patterned blond hairpins: One end of the hairpin is long needle-shaped, making it easy to insert and wear.The top of the hairpin is made of silk craftsmanship, and three layers of jade flower pieces are stacked on top, creating a strong sense of hierarchy.A ruby ​​is set in the center of the flower, and small petals are carved in gold on the gem base for decoration.Under the jade flower is a silk butterfly shape, with a sapphire inlaid in the middle.The special feature is that there is a small silk ball on the upper end of the butterfly's wings, which can be slightly swayed as it walks, adding a sense of agility.The lower end is decorated with a circular flower decoration, the center of which is a ruby, and eight silk leaves are decorated around the center of the flower. The shape is simple and yet gorgeous.Wanxian touched the lines on the hairpin, quickly closed the box and handed it to An Bin and said: "How can your Majesty give me such a precious thing? I should keep it by myself."

"It doesn't matter, this is what you deserve. If I am really lucky enough to leave the palace and go home, this will be the last time I give you a birthday gift in person. For the sake of the friendship between us, you should accept it Come on." An Bin pushed the box to Wanxian's side and said.

"Empress." Wanxian said movedly.

An Bin crossed the table and patted Wanxian's hand and said, "If I really leave, you can live a good life with Lord Wanzai. As well as Bu Gui, you should take more care of me."

Wanxian nodded solemnly and said: "Empress, don't worry. I will take good care of Mr. Bu. I will also live a good life with Lord Long Live."

"Empress." Bu Guiren also moved to An Bin's side.She herself did not expect that An Bi was still thinking about her future life at this time.

An Bin patted Bu Guiren's hand to express comfort.Just as the three people in the main hall were looking back on their past kindness.

Wei Zhu came in and reported back: "Ms. Qi, Yiren is here with the young master and the young lady."

Many thanks to Akina Nakamori for her floral support, thank you very much.
