Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

chapter 241
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Let's talk about the second day of June, the day of the queen's banquet, I carefully prepared the meeting between Mrs. Yao Ji and Pearl.That day Pearl happened to bring Xiao Que and Xiao Bao to celebrate her birthday. Because she was dressed as a golden boy and jade girl with pink make-up and jade decorations, she was begging for a good fortune to celebrate the queen's birthday. The queen was very happy and hugged the two children happily for a long time.The emperor personally attended the queen's banquet and bestowed many important things to show his honor and favor.Xichuan Wang Xuanyuan Fuli, who had lived in seclusion for many days, also personally accepted the invitation of the emperor, entered the palace to present a congratulatory table to the queen, presenting ten ivory wooden combs and two maroon satin mink robes, wishing the queen's aunt a long life without bounds.

Jinxiu saw the wind and turned the rudder, and also gave a pair of red sandalwood crystal ganoderma double-ring bottles, a yellow Hanyu poetic Kui pattern Ruyi; Dongxian King presented a small golden Buddha; A copper tortoise with a red sandalwood tooth base; and I donated a gold-entrusted East Sea red coral in the name of the King of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

It's a pity that many people know that this is a marriage contract in name only. A 17-year-old Ruhua girl married an old man who is over fifty years old just for the political status of the Xuanyuan family, and the Holy One will never let the descendants of the Xuanyuan family take the throne again .On the surface, she respects the queen, but rarely stays in Fengzao Palace. The splendor still outshines Queen Xuanyuan, and everyone present knows that Queen Xuanyuan will never have children in her lifetime.

When we arrived at the banquet, I asked Pearl to bring the two children to Changxin Pavilion to change clothes. I put a glass plate in the room, and put a bunch of duckweeds produced in the dark palace in it. I laughed, with tears in my eyes.When the door was closed, I gave her a meaningful smile and stood outside.Sure enough, not long after, I heard Pearl's soft weeping.Xiaoque and Xiaobao timidly called grandma.

Afterwards, I invited Pearl to visit my mansion under all kinds of normal names.I often take the zoo to Xifengyuan to play, and for this reason, I specially set up a few swings for the children on Meilin Road.However, Xiaohu and the other boys are still more interested in the general stage. As expected of the generals, they often wrestled and rolled in the place where Suhui and I practiced kung fu back then, staining all the expensive robes and tearing the exquisite brocade. My mother was so distressed that she almost shed tears.

I like children, and the name of wanting to have many children gradually spread among the nobles.It may be due to sympathy, Empress Xuanyuan often invited me and the zoo family into the palace to accompany her.After Jinxiu learned about it, she often interrupted our banquet with Feiliu.Fortunately, Fei Liuyin is very beautiful and has been favored by the nobles. She is quite favored by all the noble ladies, which dilutes the pressure brought by Jinxiu.Although Empress Xuanyuan was young, she was extremely wise. Afraid of causing conflicts in the family, she also called Yuan Feiyan to bring Chongyang with her.

On the fifth day of June, Feiliu was taken to hunt with the emperor. The lonely Chongyang strayed into Xifengyuan by mistake while dragging his beautiful kite that had been mended.The strange thing is that Qi Xinghe and Jin Buli didn't call the police.I wondered to myself, could it be that those divine beasts thought he was too small and harmless?

It happened that the zoo was also there, so Chongyang met a lot of new friends.The zoo is kind-hearted, remembering that their mother told them: the children of the second uncle's family are not very smart, but bullying must not be underestimated, so they deliberately showed affection to Chongyang, and everyone had a great time playing.

On the second day, when the zoo came, Chongyang secretly came to Xifengyuan again, and this time, he didn't know what method he used, but he sneaked in in front of those seven-star cranes.

I asked him why those beasts didn't bite him, he blinked his beautiful big eyes, and said, "Those big birds said that purple-eyed monsters always like to pluck their fur, so I told them, if you dare to bite Me, I let the purple-eyed monsters pluck your hair and skin you, and they let me in obediently."

I was staring at this little flower, pondering the believability of what he said, when the guards came in and said: Miss Churen from the Princess Mansion is here, and she is wandering around the gate of the garden with a panting half-centured lady. It is said that he came to look for the prince's son of Nanjia County.

I asked the guards to lead the two of them in.Seeing that Chongyang was safe and sound, the two were visibly relieved.

"Little, little...Liu...Yanpu is the teacher of Nanjia Shizi...and now he is... in charge of the household department," the old master knelt on the ground, out of breath, non-stop Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, it took him a long time to finish his sentence, "Today, today... the prince has not recited the "Three Character Classic", the princess... ordered the villain to punish the prince to copy, copy one... ...Hundreds of "Three Character Classics". The villain is looking for the prince everywhere, and I don't think he came here secretly. Please go back with the old man, the prince, otherwise, otherwise the princess will find out, and the prince and the villain will be severely punished."

Chu Ren endured it for a long time, finally waited for the old master to finish speaking, and immediately said to Chongyang with a stern face, like a cannonball: "My son is so unreasonable, why did you escape here to disturb Jin Wangfei? The son forgot the princess's most important thing." Don't you love your son running around?"

She said in a frightening way: "My dear son, listen to your master quickly, and go back with your servants, otherwise the princess will be punished to copy the Three Character Classic two hundred times if she finds out."

The present zoo looked at Chongyang who was being trained in amazement, and a dozen pairs of small eyes silently glanced back and forth at the three of them.

Chongyang pursed his mouth, just grabbed a handful of dried apricots in his left hand, and a pile of backgammon in his right hand. He looked at the old master and Churen, who was elusive, and then chose to cry, "Chongyang hates memorizing books the most. I have to copy it, and I have to copy it a hundred times each time, and Chongyang's hand is broken, so why did it become two hundred times this time? Mother is so cruel."

Everyone in the zoo looked at Chongyang with great sympathy.Xiaoque sighed pitifully: "My mother also forced us to recite books, and if we couldn't recite books, we had to copy them. I also hate copying books the most. Fortunately, we only asked us to copy them up to ten times before we quit."

Huzi gently tugged on Xiaoque's sleeve, and the little girl fell silent.

However, Chongyang, who received the sympathy of the public, felt that the mother of other children was much more fair and reasonable than his own, so he cried louder, and then rolled all over the floor.

Churen and Liu Yanpu started to panic, trying to persuade Chongyang not to cry.Chu Ren was not as nervous as usual, she looked nervously at the guards around her, and said in every possible way: "Your Majesty, follow me and wait to go back, this is not the place we should come to, we will be too late if it is too late."

I didn't understand what she meant at first, but I just ordered people to bring out a bunch of delicious food to coax Chongyang.The zoo also coaxed them together, and Huzi said very righteously: "Don't cry in Chongyang, we will copy it for you. Five of us can each copy it forty times for you. You can copy it ten times more, your mother." After reading it, I must think that you are a hardworking and good boy, so I won't blame you."

Chongyang miraculously stopped crying, sucked back a long snot from his red nose, and earnestly hoped: "Really?"

Huzi was about to nod, but someone said coldly: "Whoever dares to copy books for the son, I will sue the emperor to punish him for the crime of bewitching."

The hat was quite big. Although the zoo couldn't understand it, it understood that it must be a terrible crime, so it was horrified there.

But outside the glazed bead curtain, several beauties in gorgeous clothes appeared with cold faces, followed by four tall and strong warriors with solemn faces.The warriors of Xifengyuan also surrounded us nervously, knelt down to pay their respects, and stood in front of the bead curtain, separating us.

The leader is the one with skin as white as snow, with long eyebrows reaching into the temples, phoenix-eyed eyes shining gracefully, thin golden powder flying obliquely at the corners of the eyes, not angry but majestic, black jade-like hair tied with a super complicated and gorgeous deer-wisp bun, each side There are two delicate golden phoenixes hanging on the beads, and a row of red gold chains are held in the mouth of the phoenix, each with round cat eyes; on the swan-like pink neck is hung a golden and eight-treasure wreath; Wearing a brocade and lotus-colored double-breasted ice-crested shirt, Jin Tiaotuo hooked Qiansuhong long silk, shining on the ground, showing off the beauty's tall and alluring figure, and wearing a golden-embroidered peacock with a hundred tails on it. Pleated fairy skirt.

The sharp eyes of the peacock on the fairy skirt are inlaid with a rare large ruby ​​from the Western Regions, which is as big as a pigeon egg and is cut and polished brilliantly.And the peacock's green feathers are all made of finely arranged small crystal sapphires, all the way to the edge of the brocade skirt.Looking from a distance, every time the beautiful woman moves lotus steps, the sun shines through these precious gemstones and jade, and one feels the flowing light is magical and purple, which is fascinating.It is the princess Annian, the beloved daughter of the Holy Majesty, Yuan Feiyan.

Although the zoo followed their mother into the palace, they finally saw the world. Seeing the grandeur of Princess Annian, they couldn't help being dumbfounded. They all stared blankly at the big peacock on the princess's skirt, and their little jaws dropped one by one. down.There are countless stars in Xiaoque's eyes.

Speaking of the peacock-spread pleated fairy dress worn by Princess Annian, it draws out a court allusion.

The king of Nanjia County attacked Bazhou. Butler, the lord of the city, was from the Western Regions. He was shot to death by the rebels on the way to escape. Because Butler gathered people to make a living as Silk Road bandits in his early years, and did a lot of robbing of passing business travelers. He is a famous Turkic figure. The bandit tribe was later wiped out by the former Turkic Yehu Guoerren. He fled alone and came to the Central Plains, hiding his name and continuing to kill and rob.Later, with these bloody wealth, he donated the local officials of Dou Zhou, and recruited soldiers and horses to become the lord of Bazhou City.People in Bazhou rumored that he buried most of his jewels secretly in an unknown place. The deputy general who surrendered to curry favor with Song Minglei copied Butler's mansion and dedicated all the copied treasures to Song Minglei.

No matter who Song Minglei was, seeing that many of them were treasures from the Western Regions, he decided that the legend was true.With the help of a calligraphy and painting by Butler, the location of the treasure was found out.Using only a team of troops, without gunpowder or any force, he dug up Butler's hidden grave overnight by virtue of his extraordinary skill of dunjia, and opened the tombs of his wife and parents who had passed away many years ago , Dig out all the funeral jewels under the mausoleum, and transport ten carts in full.

Song Minglei spared the lieutenant general, and made several royal robes out of brocade overnight according to the size of the emperor, and ordered people to smash some of the Western Region jewels, and carefully embellished them with colorful cloud patterns, bat patterns, twelve chapter patterns and other auspicious patterns according to different colors. , and melted gold into countless gold pieces to inlay on the scales and claws of the five-clawed golden dragon, inlaid rare black gemstones on the longan, and dedicated all the remaining treasures and the property of the rebel generals of Lianzhou City to the emperor.

The Sacred Heart was naturally overjoyed, leaving half of the gold and silver as a reward to the generals of the Linde Army, most of the jewelry was given to Princess Annian, and the rest was kept in the treasury.

Princess Annian loved her husband and wife affectionately, and the jewels awarded by the emperor did not dare to enjoy them all alone, so she ordered the top ladies in the clothing bureau to tear off the newly tributed pieces of Shu embroidery satin, which took dozens of days and nights of hard work to make. A phoenix feather skirt with wings spread, and a pleated fairy skirt with peacock spread out. I dedicated that Phoenix feather skirt to the queen, and kept the peacock fairy skirt for myself.The queen liked it very much.On the second day, when the Empress was wearing a phoenix dress to accept the worship of her wives, Jinxiu frowned and sighed: The Emperor was lamenting that the treasury was empty in the palace last night, and the money and food at the front line were very tight...

The queen heard the implication, so she had no choice but to donate the Phoenix Ruyu skirt. Jinxiu ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tear the exquisite Ruyu skirt to pieces, leaving only the jewels and giving them to Qiao Wan and Fengding. Military generals, euphemistically called appease heroes.For this, the emperor greatly praised the queen and Jinxiu, who can be set as an example for women in the world.Although Princess Annian didn't say anything, she spent a lot of money to make wedding clothes for Jinxiu, so she was naturally displeased, and the conflict with Jinxiu deepened.

Closer to home.In this room, Yuan Feiyan stood proudly outside the curtain, and I was about to put on a smiling face to greet her, but I didn't want her to look down immediately when she saw Chongyang holding the food in her hand, and stepped on the door without waiting for the slaves to lift the glazed curtain. The white jade clogs from Tianshan came in through the curtain with melodious steps, and immediately knocked off my little hand holding Chongyang.She yelled at Chu Ren with a pale face: "Stupid servant girl, how dare you let the prince eat the food here."

Before I could dodge, the enamel finger cot on her hand drew three deep red marks on my hand.

The glazed curtain shook so that people became anxious.Because it was a family reunion, the male attendants were all waiting outside, Wu Rutu rushed in with a few warriors when he heard the voice, and stood in front of me with a cold face, "Princess, it is Xiao Shizi who came to the west by himself. When visiting Fengyuan, don't hurt your peace."

Xiaoyu saw that I was injured, regardless of whether she was the current princess, she pulled out the Dali small silver knife with a straight face, and shouted: "How can Princess Annian hurt my husband for no reason?"

Weiwei has experienced wind and rain and has made great progress. Although she still looks at Yuan Feiyan with a pale face, biting her lower lip with no blood, this time she firmly supports my arm, her gaze is firm Staring at Princess Annian, conveying the message "How dare you come to my territory to act wildly".

Furiously, Wei Hu drew out his broadsword with one hand, and the waiter who was originally Feiyan also drew out his weapon at once, and the guards of Xifengyuan surrounded him nervously.All of a sudden, swords were on the verge of breaking out in the Shangxin Pavilion, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Now I understood what Churen meant.I was annoyed in my heart, do you think that everyone is as harmful as you and your husband, even children? !But for people like them, poor explanations are useless.

Churen and Liu Yanpu had already knelt heavily on the ground, their faces turned pale, and they kept kowtowing.Chongyang was too terrified to cry anymore, sobbing and saying: "Mother, don't blame it, it's all Chongyang's fault, not Mr. He Xin, nor the purple-eyed demon... Aunt, Chongyang came in by himself."

Adhering to the principle of making big things small and small things small, I politely asked the guards to put down their swords and said with a pleasant face, "It's just a skin injury, so it's okay. Last time I destroyed the princess's armor in front of Qiwu Hall, and I didn't know until later It is the relic of the princess's own mother, Empress Xiaogong, and I feel very uneasy, and I have always wanted to apologize to the princess, but now I can be regarded as even with the princess."

Yuan Feiyan seemed a little surprised, looked at me up and down, then lowered her head and hugged Chongyang, and waved her hands with a cold face.The guard withdrew his sword and stood aside.

Yuan Feiyan and I must have been at odds with each other. Every time we get together alone, our relationship grows rapidly towards the negative side.Last time I peeled off three of her enamel nail sets. I heard they were her mother’s relics. She didn’t want to throw them away, so a skilled craftsman used another set and inlaid them with red gold. The finished gold nail set is her revenge.But I hope she doesn't hide poison in this armor.

She sneered and said: "Princess Jin, don't worry, I didn't use poison, anyway, no matter how poisonous I am, I can't poison you two sisters."

Hey, as expected of the emperor's favorite daughter, she guessed exactly what I was worried about!But why do I feel that what you said seems to be talking about the two of you, husband and wife?
Well, you and Song Minglei are a good match!
This was the first time that Yuan Feiyan and my sister-in-law and I got together formally alone, and the result was not very good.I invited her to drink tea very politely, and she was not polite if I didn't want her, so I sat down with a face, and said to Chongyang with a straight face, for my sake, I won't copy books today, let's go play .

It's just that I was stared coldly by her beautiful phoenix eyes.Despite all my business and political savvy trying to talk to her, she just ignored me and just looked me up and down for a long time.She is here, and I can't do other things, and I can't let the children into the Shangxin Pavilion to meet Yao Ji, so we can only hold teacups and watch Chongyang and the zoo boredly.The sun was setting, and I was thinking about whether I should be polite and let her eat with Chongyang. Fortunately, she took Chongyang back who refused to leave, and avoided my malnutrition in time.

I thought she would never come again, but the next day, when the zoo came to play again, she also came frowning, followed by Chu Ren holding Chongyang who was silly and happy, so there was another period of mutual care and silence... I couldn't sit still , with a sullen smile, said: "Perhaps Chongyang is hungry, auntie will make chicken heart cakes for Chongyang."
