The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 515 Spring Flower

In response, the two eunuchs of the Changchun Palace, dressed in tight dark black patterned brocade clothes, first juggled somersaults to greet the emperor and the two empress dowagers.Then he walked up to the emperor's table, flicked his hands empty, and suddenly a warm-colored white jade appeared, the index finger hooked the brocade belt and hung the jade under the palm of his hand, shaking it at the emperor.

The emperor thought it was just a small trick and nothing new, but he was taken aback when he looked at the white jade carefully, he hurriedly looked at his waist, it turned out that what the man was holding was the waist ornament that he wore on his waist all day long.

The emperor praised it wonderfully, and the probing head wanted to take back the white jade from the inner eunuch, but the inner eunuch lifted the brocade belt and closed his fist with the jade in his hand.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

The inner eunuch took two steps back, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully: "What does the emperor want?"

"Of course it's the waist jade in your hand."

The inner eunuch pretended to be surprised and let out an 'oh', and suddenly spread his hands.

The palms are empty, where is there any white jade?
Everyone was wondering about the discussion, and the eunuch said: "Your Majesty, you don't dare to joke with your slaves. The jade you bring is priceless, and it won't be worth it if you sell your slaves, right?" He paused, and looked at the emperor with bright eyes waist: "Isn't your waist jade pinned to your waist?"

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and looked, the white jade seemed to have grown legs, and at some point it ran back to his waist.

She couldn't help clapping her hands and said with a smile: "There are always three desks between you and me, how did it become?"

The inner eunuch smiled without saying a word, and the two of them stepped forward together, took out a pink thumb-sized ball from their bosoms and handed them to the Empress Dowager Renxian and the Empress Dowager, saying: "Please help the servants get one for the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Renxian played with the ball in her hands, and said with a slight smile, "It's fine for Aijia to hold it for you, but you have to agree with Aijia's wishes, right? If you can turn this ball into a flower, Aijia will reward you very much!"

The inner eunuch walked forward slowly, gave a salute, and said with a smile all over his face: "May I ask what flower the Empress Dowager likes?"

Empress Dowager Renxian glanced at the smiling Empress Dowager, and said: "Emperor Niang likes Yao Huang Peony, which is also a seasonal item. But Ai's family only loves Aoxue Hanmei. Now that it's spring, you Do you have the ability?"

The inner eunuch nodded, and the two of them took two steps back together, and clapped each other's hands, a lot of red gold powder emerged out of thin air between their palms, which floated in the air profusely, glistening even more with the flicker of the candlelight.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, and after a while the golden powder was sprinkled, and suddenly heard Concubine Rong Xiuyan who was present said in surprise: "Ah, everyone, look at the Empress Dowager's table."

Looking at the reputation, I saw that the pink ball just now had disappeared, and instead there was a Yaohuang peony in full bloom.

Amidst the admiration, the Empress Dowager picked up the peony and sniffed it lightly, only to find the fragrance pleasant, and boasted: "The Ai family has lived for most of their lives, and has never seen such a strange thing."

The Empress Dowager Renxian looked at the pink balls still standing on her table, smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Emperor Mother, don't be too busy to be happy, I don't see winter plums blooming on my son's table."

Before she finished speaking, the pink ball rolled gently by itself under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The movement came from the inside and the outside, as if something wanted to break the shell of the powder ball and rush out.

Empress Dowager Renxian had never seen such a battle before, so she hurriedly ordered Qingzhu to take the powder ball away.But before the green bamboo came forward, the center of the powder ball had already exploded, and a dead branch of bare wood gradually spread out from inside.

The inner eunuch suddenly stepped forward, took the wine glass on the Empress Dowager Renxian's table, said a word of impoliteness, and poured all the wine into the pink ball.

In an instant, Bald Zhi bloomed red plum blossoms under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Surprised, there was applause.

Especially the Empress Dowager was still not confident. She picked up the pink ball and looked at it for a long time. Seeing that the city was full of fertile soil and nothing else, she kept repeating in her mouth like stumbling: "It's amazing! It's really amazing! Look at it! Green bamboo, look at it! "

The emperor turned his head and saw Wan'er's smile, he was quite appreciative and said: "There is such a capable person in Wan'er's palace, why didn't you say it earlier than me, and just enjoy yourself quietly?"

Wan Yu covered her lips and let out a coquettish smile, and sighed: "The most beautiful things must be kept on happy days to share with everyone to enjoy, isn't it?"

While talking, Wanyu pretended to glance at Yinti casually. Yinti was still full of energy watching the trick, but his expression became depressed the moment his eyes met Wanyu's.

He got up and walked in front of the emperor, bowed to everyone, and said: "Emperor Grandmother, Emperor Ama, I am exhausted." He did not forget to rub his dry eyes.

Seeing that he was sleepy like a cat, the emperor said softly: "Then go down and rest."

The Empress Dowager also said: "It's getting late, elder brothers and princesses are led back to the residence by the nanny, let's rest earlier."

When the wet nurses led the princes back and the rest of the adults were in high spirits, they all watched the two inner eunuchs conjure up some rare tricks.

There was a smile between Wanyu's brows, and she said slowly: "Isn't there still a big gift? Don't be tricky."

The eunuch ordered, and took out a piece of black and long cloth from a cloth bag, walked around the table full of concubines, and shook the black cloth in front of the table at every place.

After a circle, don't forget Rongyue and Wanyan who are in the first place.

Just thinking about what he was doing, suddenly the two of them threw the black cloth into the air, the black cloth flew to the highest point and burst open, exploded into colorful petals and fell down.

Flower petals were flying all over the hall, and the fragrance of the flowers was even stronger. Seeing the two inner eunuchs kneeling together, two bouquets of fresh flowers appeared in their hands at some point. .”

Hearing the words, he did as he said, but took out several bouquets of flowers of various colors from the bottom of the table one by one.No one knew when the two of them put the flowers under the table, so they naturally held them in their hands and carefully watched for a coincidence.

Wannai Rongyue also took the bouquet and came out, but the emperor leaned over and asked in confusion, "Why didn't I have one?"

After the words fell, the empress dowagers of the two palaces also said: "The same is true for the Ai family."

Only then did Wan Lai get up suddenly, and knelt down in the hall holding flowers.

All the concubines understood, they all came forward with flowers and knelt down according to their positions, Rong Yue was stunned as she sat down and was startled by the battle in front of her, then her brows furrowed, she had no choice but to hold flowers and kneel down in the same row as Wan Yu .

Only then did Wan Lai lead the group of concubines to say: "The concubines (concubines) wish the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager the best of health and longevity. May the Qing Dynasty prosper, the people be like spring, and never suffer! "

The emperor was overjoyed, he clapped his palms and made everyone flattened, even the Empress Dowager Renxian who didn't like to smile had opened her eyes today, and she laughed from ear to ear with the empress dowager.

After returning to their seats, the two eunuchs received the rewards, and after respectfully thanking them, they said: "Today, the servants celebrated the Spring Festival banquet with spring peanuts and spring fragrance. It is enshrined in the brochure beside the case of the emperor, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine. I also invite the emperor, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine to watch it together, so that we can have a good time."
