The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 758 Killing Eagle ([-])

After about a stick of incense, Liang Jiugong called the eunuch sent by Yin Si to drive away the carriage carrying Hai Dongqing.

"Go and quietly follow behind the procession, the emperor will hold a banquet to celebrate at night, and then you will present the eagle of the eighth master, do you understand?"

The internal supervisor responded, and hurriedly drove the car to follow behind the procession.

At night, the local officials hosted a banquet in honor of the royal family, full of rare game and fragrant wine that is not common in the palace.Since the emperor's fiftieth birthday, in order to prolong his life, he has developed a temperament of not drinking alcohol.

That is to say, the wine smelled sweet from afar today, so he broke his precept and drank two small cups.

The end of November is the coldest day, and the Rehe Palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is excellent, but because of this, the mountain cold is even more bitter at night.

The hall was filled with earth dragons, which made everyone's complexions rosy, fearing that the cold and heat would bring on sickness, Wan Yu ordered the palace staff to slightly open the hall door, and the hall became much cooler in an instant.

Afraid of the heat, the emperor took off his wild bear fur cloak, and only wore a thin lake-blue Ruyi crane gown. He unbuttoned the neckline a little, and leaned on the first seat with a satisfied face.

Wannai chose a plate of fresh fruits for the emperor, put it on the table in front of the emperor, and said softly: "The local officials have a heart, and they are full of delicacies from mountains and rivers, but they always get tired of asking for food. The emperor eats more." Some fruits are also excellent for relieving tiredness."

The emperor ordered Wanyu to sit beside him, with a warm smile on her face: "You are in a good mood, and I also think about your liking to eat this squid." A thin piece of meat was handed to Wanyu's lips: "Taste it."

Wan Yu looked around shyly, seeing that everyone was staring at her, she became more and more embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, everyone is watching."

The emperor refused, so the chopsticks stood by Wanyu's lips without moving.

In desperation, Wan Yu had no choice but to cover her lips and enter.

Before I finished this mouthful, I heard Yuwen was with the emperor, drank a cup of peach blossom drunk, and said calmly: "Is the emperor getting close to the concubine de concubine? We have been sitting here for so long. You don't have to open your eyes to take a look." She smiled lightly, and glanced at the noble concubine Rong Yu: "Looking at the fine scale fish on the imperial concubine's table, there is no more than two taels of meat, the emperor is partial."

Rong Yu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Concubine Hui is joking. I have been greedy lately, and my figure is not as light as before. If it is not enough for me, I will think about the emperor. Wouldn't it be that I want to eat a round fat man and make people laugh? .”

The emperor glanced at Rong Yu, and said in a slightly approving tone: "The noble concubine knows the general." Then he glanced at Yuwen, and said in a flat tone: "Unlike other people, the table full of delicacies can't fill her broken table. mouth."

In fact, Yuwen was not such a sharp-edged character in the past, but after the elder brother completely lost hope of fighting for the reserve, she became surly.

Wan Lai knew that she was dissatisfied from the bottom of her heart, but before the flowers fell and the deer died, it was still unknown who would have the last laugh.

She was eager to show her dissatisfaction on her face, but she had miscalculated.

Wannai raised her brows and eyes lightly, smiled and said to Yuwen: "The concubine Liang gave birth to a sacrifice, and the eighth elder brother rushed back to the palace to take care of things. He is a very filial child. The eighth elder brother was raised under the knee of the concubine Hui since childhood. Presumably, my sister taught me well."

Hearing that she intended to promote herself, Yuwen said more and more recklessly: "The one raised under my knees, I will raise him like my own son. I will not let him be short of others or short of others."

"That's right, who doesn't know that the eighth elder brother is the most filial and the most virtuous, most of which are due to my sister's credit."

Yuwen's smile faded, and she couldn't see the emperor's changed expression at all.

Just as he was talking, Li Jian walked around the back of the table to the side of the emperor, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the eighth elder brother entrusted someone to send a treasure from the mansion, and I want to present it to you."

After hearing this, the emperor wondered: "Oh? Isn't he in a hurry to celebrate Concubine Liang's sacrifice? How come he still has time to think about me?"

Wan Lai was the closest to the emperor, so she naturally heard Li Jian's whisper, so she asked, "What is it?"

Li Jian licked his smiling face with great interest and said, "It's the two big eagles. This slave has very little knowledge, but it's the first time I've opened my eyes."

"Eagle?" Wanyu pretended to be surprised when she heard the words, and said to the emperor: "I heard that there are two sea dongqings raised in the eighth prince's mansion. They are usually treated as treasures and are reluctant to show others. Now they are giving them away like this. With the emperor, it can be seen that the eighth elder brother is filial."

The emperor had also coveted Hai Dongqing for a long time in his private heart, but because of the things that Tsarist Russia gave Yinsi, he didn't open his mouth, and the emperor Ama himself was too embarrassed to ask his son for this thing.

Now that Yin Si is very knowledgeable, the emperor is naturally very happy, and hurriedly ordered Li Jianxuan to bring an eagle to see him.

When the whole hall was waiting to see Yi Rare, Wan Lai smiled charmingly, raised her glass to Yu Wen and said, "Eighth Brother still has to call her Er Niang when she meets her sister, if you want to come here to please the Emperor, there will always be a sister." Are you on your mind?"

Where did Yuwen know why Yinsi would suddenly give the two Haidongqings whom he raised as half sons to the emperor?
She froze for a moment, quickly raised her glass to Wanyu, and said with a smile as usual: "Is there anything you can't do for the emperor's joy?"

The emperor took a deep look at her, nodded and said: "You have a heart."

The door of the hall was opened, and six guards carried two huge birdcages inside.

The birdcage was surrounded by black cloth, so it was hard to see what was hidden inside.

When someone lifted the birdcage to the center of the hall, the eunuch Yinsi sent to deliver the eagle then bowed to the emperor with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the eighth elder brother sent these two Haidongqings to the emperor. The eighth elder brother said that this Haidongqing is the god of eagles, the emperor is the lord of the people, and the most honorable leader in the world. A few days ago, Tsarist Russia sent Haidongqing to the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother saw that the eagle was still young , not possessing supernatural power, so I made my own decision and raised it for the emperor for two years, until now I am majestic, so I hurriedly ordered my servant to send it to the emperor."

Yuwen Yangjuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Eighth Brother compares you to an eagle fighting against the sky, which reflects your extraordinary demeanor."

Rong Yu glanced at her, and said in a solemn voice: "The emperor is the son of heaven, and his natural bearing is extraordinary. Concubine Hui, you haven't had a few glasses of wine yet, why are you talking nonsense?"

Yuwen patted her cheek, smiled and said: "What the imperial concubine taught me is that the concubine made a slip of the tongue."

The emperor pointed at the birdcage with great interest, and asked, "Why are you surrounding the birdcage with black cloth?"

The inner supervisor replied: "This Hai Dongqing is a bird of prey. I am afraid that it will make a fuss along the way. If it is covered with a black cloth, it will only make it think it is a dark day. It will fall asleep when it is drowsy, and it will be less troubled."

Wannai looked at the emperor with eyes full of expectation, and said in a gentle voice: "I heard that this Haidong Qingcheng Eagle has spread its wings for more than a foot. The emperor quickly tells us to open our eyes too."

The emperor smiled loudly and ordered: "Open the cloth, I want everyone to see Lao Ba's filial piety."
