After kowtowing to the Imperial Noble Consort, His Highness left alone. Sister still brought me to the Twelve Eastern and Western Palaces, Jing Ren, Cheng Qian, Zhong Cui, Yan Xi, Yong He, Jing Yang, Yong Shou, Yi Kun, Chu Xiu, Qi Xiang, Chang Chun, and Xian Fu. Of course, I only went to see those concubines, so I was already exhausted along the way. I think it was probably because that mother was too arrogant and domineering, so I wanted this daughter-in-law to be polite. It was a pity that my tightly wrapped little feet.
After we returned, we were arranged to rest in the wing room of the East Hall of Jingren Palace. We were probably waiting for the banquet to begin, but when we thought about seeing that old witch again, we felt a chill in our hearts.
"Young master Qin Hua, the Empress instructed this servant to prepare this for young master.”A little girl around 11 or 12 years old walked up to me. I looked down at the thing in her hand, puzzled.
The servant girl seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly explained," Little Master, the Empress doesn't like other spices. She only likes this Tianzhu incense, so the Empress instructed this servant to bathe and change Little Master's clothes to get rid of the smell on your body.”
What? Old witch? I was about to explode. Wasn't this clearly making me stink? She even beat around the bush and scolded me. I angrily took the clothes and incense tablets from the servant girl's hands. What an old witch.
"You can leave. I can do it myself.”Although he was extremely angry in his heart, he still had to put on a good show on the surface. At the very least, he still had to abide by the etiquette.
The servant girl led me into the inner room and didn't stay any longer. She was a smart servant girl. After washing up, she looked at herself in the mirror and was actually much more energetic. As expected, people had to dress up. Looking at the purple-red short jacket with golden embroidery, matched with the beautiful Shu brocade with flowers in spring, and the bright and eye-catching wide-brimmed belt on her waist, there were a total of 18 pearls, each of which was made of precious ivory. I suddenly began to envy this imperial noble consort, who had endless glory and wealth. Was it a thousand times better than waiting for the emperor's favor?
After 15:00, the outside became busy and noisy. I was also ready. A group of people followed Imperial Noble Consort Rengong. Surrounded by more than ten nannies, maids, and eunuchs, they walked towards Zhengqing Palace in a mighty manner.
Along the way, there were rows of lanterns in the shape of lotuses and goldfish. All kinds of small lanterns were hung on the surrounding trees. I think this is probably the same as the folk. But this luxury…
The banquet will begin after 10:00. We sat not far from the imperial noble consort. According to the rules of the palace, other than the emperor, the princes, princes, and grandchildren are separated from their families, so we are directly opposite the wangye.
Everyone was beaming with joy as the riddle guessing began. The Emperor set the questions, and the princes and grandchildren competed to answer them. After an incense stick of time, a few palace maids came over with lanterns. A leading maid opened a lantern riddle and read," Playing Go in secret."”
The audience was already bustling with excitement. A few of the young imperial grandchildren were eager to try, but they were stopped by their mothers. I think it was probably because of some etiquette. As expected, a man wearing a purple gold white jade crown inlaid with tire-silk, two dragon snatching beads on his forehead, a golden python white fox armpit sleeve, a five-colored butterfly ribbon, and a white jade pearl hanging from his neck. If he was not the eldest grandson of the emperor, he would not be able to think of anyone who could dress like this. His body was cold and his appearance was dignified. His eyes were like stars, and his eyebrows were like paint. His chest is broad and broad, and he has the prestige that ten thousand men can't match.
His words are dignified and his ambition is high. He was bold like a lion descending from the clouds. His bones were strong, and his muscles were strong, like a pixiu on the ground.
He was like a demon lord from heaven and a god from the earth.
This was what I saw and felt from my angle." You can't tell the difference between soap and white. May I ask if I guessed correctly?”His tone was very humble, and the emperor nodded slightly.
"The second question, you can't type a single word after sending off Guanyin.”The maid continued to speak loudly.
"Give it back." Third Prince Xuan Wei calmly replied. The Emperor looked at him and nodded.
The lantern riddles were carried out one by one. Xuan Li also tried her hand, but Xuan He and Xuan Qi did not say a word. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong.
Only then did I realize that the woman called Wanqi Yan was sitting next to me. She was nervously gripping the handkerchief in her hand. I was a little disappointed. That's right, I almost forgot about that matter. Perhaps I never wanted to remember it.
The Emperor didn't say a word, only glancing at the Eighth and Ninth Wangye.
"I'll write a poem based on this situation." The Emperor looked down the stage and suddenly said excitedly. I know that this is nothing more than a test of the princes and grandchildren's studies, and Xuan He and Xuan Qi's performance naturally won't satisfy this father.
" The fire tree and silver flower combine, the Star Bridge Iron Lock is unlocked.
The lamp tree shone with a thousand rays of light. the bright moon comes chasing after people.
The courtesans are all plums, and the plum blossoms fall when they sing.
Gold and silver cannot be restrained at night, and jade cannot be urged.”
Xuan Li stood up and said loudly.
"Alright, alright." Following the Emperor's praise, the concubines all applauded. It's just that Imperial Noble Consort Rengong's expression is a bit ugly, I can't help but worry for them.
"Thousands of doors are unlocked, and ten thousand lights are lit, moving the capital in the middle of the first month.
The three hundred wives danced with their sleeves, and as soon as they entered the sky, they sang.”The eldest grandson was unwilling to be outdone. Seeing that the two of them were unwilling to admit defeat, he forgot that they were uncle and nephew. They were more like brothers.
The applause below the stage was still thunderous, but the Emperor's expression was getting worse and worse. I was a little nervous.
Xuan Qi, kneel down." The Emperor finally flew into a rage. Perhaps he was making use of this topic to make a fuss, but at this time, his expression was already extremely bad.
I knew what Xuan Qi was feeling awkward about. At the very least, it had something to do with me. Seeing that the Emperor could no longer hold his temper, I mustered my courage and stood up.
"Emperor, please allow Qin Hua to tell you a joke.”I looked at the emperor respectfully. Some of them looked confused, some laughed at me for making a fool of myself, and some looked down on me. But it didn't matter as long as I could save him.
"Yes." When the emperor saw that it was me, his tone softened and he slowly sat down.
I looked at Xuan Qi on the ground and bowed." Once upon a time, there was a king. He had two beautiful daughters and the king decided to find a marriage partner for them. The king asked the guards to lead an elephant to the riverside and said," If anyone can make an elephant jump into the river with its butt covered, I'll marry my eldest daughter to him! The princes could not think of a way. At this moment, a Persian prince walked over to look at the elephant. Suddenly, he took out a needle from behind and stabbed it into the elephant's butt. The elephant immediately covered its butt and jumped into the river.
The king had no choice but to marry his eldest daughter to the Prince of Persia. Wait until his second daughter got married? The king gave another question: Who can make the elephant nod first and then shake its head? He would nod his head and jump into the river, and he would marry his second daughter to him!
Coincidentally, it was still that elephant, but the princes of the various countries could not think of a way! Finally, the Prince of Persia came over and said," If I can do it, will you marry your second daughter to me too? The king agreed. The Prince of Persia walked over to the elephant and said," Do you still recognize me? The elephant nodded. Then do you still want to be like last time? The elephant shook its head. Then do you know what to do? The elephant nodded again, then covered its butt and jumped into the river!”I deliberately said this calmly, but the emperor and concubines on the stage were already rolling over with laughter.
"You little girl, you're so mischievous. Xuan Qi, I'll let you off today. I know what you're up to. Xuan Qi, reflect on yourself. If you continue to act like you're about to die in front of me, I won't let you off easily. Hehe, little girl. Come here."
The emperor waved at me and I obediently went over. The emperor pointed to the side and a concubine immediately gave up her seat." Sit beside me." I bowed and sat over. I knew how dangerous I was to be in the limelight and push myself into the limelight, but what else could I do? Xuan Qi, do you understand?
