Story of Yanxi Palace - Chapter 116

小÷说◎网】, ♂小÷说◎NET】,

Soon, the Longevity Celebration officially began.

The back lake of Yuanmingyuan, the clear lake water is like a flawless emerald, and the lake and mountains are reflected on it, like the pattern in the emerald. Hongli stood in a small pavilion by the lake. With a wave of his hand, several eunuchs carried two large iron cages, all of which were filled with various birds, or Shu Ling spreading feathers, or chanting songs.

Hongli: “Please release the queen mother.”

The empress went up with a smile, and gently brushed the iron cage with her hand, and said, “Release.”

The **** stepped forward to open the iron cage. All the birds fluttered their wings and flew to the sky at once, covering the sky and the sky for a short while.

Everyone sang together.

The ritual of release is available every year, but unlike in the past, countless wings fell from the sky, and the group of flying birds actually went back and returned to fall back into the iron cage.

The concubines could not help but talk.

“What’s wrong with this bird, so decent, how come they all flew back?”

“There was never such a thing in the previous release ceremony!”

“It’s really strange.”

Several eunuchs stepped forward and shouted, but for a long time, the birds did not go, half of them flew around the bird cage, and the other half got into the cage again.

The empress was well-informed, and was the first time to see such a spectacle, holding the hand of the maiden to walk forward, turning around the bird in the cage a few times, curiously: “Who is feeding the bird?”

The crowd separated, and Wei Yingluo walked out from inside, saluting: “The slaves give the queen, the empress, and the queen, please masters. Before the birds are released, the slaves are responsible for feeding and training.”

Empress: “You said that these birds should have flown to the sky, why did they suddenly turn around and why did they refuse to leave?”

Wei Yingluo said in an orderly manner: “On the day of the Queen Mother’s Longevity, the example of open birth, God has a good life. Although the animal is a livestock, but also knows the good news, the Queen Mother is kind, the bird is grateful, and will hover again and again. Leaving. It must be the return of God’s kindness to you, and it is also a sign of longevity.”

The queen mother threw a laugh and the others laughed. Whether it is or not, everyone loves to listen to such auspicious words, and besides, the queen mother laughs, and the others still do not laugh?

In this laughter, the sigh of the pure concubine appeared extremely abrupt.

“The queen’s mother is kind and tolerant of others everywhere. But the court lady made up absurd reasons for the sake of appreciation. She deliberately fooled the queen mother, and it was clearly flattering.” The pure concubine came to her hand and sighed. , “If everyone in the palace learned her, wouldn’t it be a big mess?”

Wei Yingluo turned to look at her: “The minions don’t know what the mother meant.”

“Queen Mother.” Chun Guifei didn’t look at her, only smiled at the Queen Mother, “Everyone said that a trained bird, let it fly, let it stop, it’s not the same as training a horse. ?This maid, bought a batch of carefully trained birds in advance and let them go back and forth, deliberately to please you and eager to receive a reward!”

Next to the jade pot, he said: “Wei Yingluo, how dare you dare to lie that the bird knows how to repay her, and deliberately deceived the queen mother and the emperor. Do you know that this is the crime of bullying the king!”

The empress smiled and did not say anything. He did not say right or wrong. He only glanced at Hongli lightly, and he was the one to let him decide.

After years of absence, it does not mean that Hongli has forgotten Wei Yingluo. On the contrary, he recognized this **** maid at a glance. The relationship between these two people is also strange. Hongli Ping is always a joyous and incomprehensible king. But in front of her, somehow, it burned a little… When the following sinks: “Pull Wei… Pull this maid down!”

Wei Yingluo glanced at him secretly, and then knelt down quickly: “Please, the queen mother, let the slave finish!”

The two eunuchs had left and right, grabbed her one arm, but did not take the next step, because the queen mother suddenly said: “They all said you deliberately fool me, how do you explain?”

Wei Yingluo knelt on the ground and slowly looked up at her: “The queen mother, the slave has a way to prove himself.”

Pure Concubine smiled faintly: “Are you looking for trained animals to release?”

Another concubine opened her mouth, but it was Nalan Chunxue who had been leaning on Hui Hui’s concubine: “The Queen Mother, don’t be fooled by her anymore. So many people are fooled by a maidservant. The concubine said, pull it out now and beat the 80 boards hard to see if she can tell the truth!”

Wei Yingluo glanced at her. Based on her words and the timing of her opening, she could guess that this person had mostly turned to the new lord. The new lord was not someone else. It was the pure concubine who appeared to be a fairy in the world.

The rest of the concubines either hung up high, or gave the face of the pure concubine, and counted Wei Yingluo together. Not so many people, only one Lu Wanwan had a conscience and said to her: “The Queen Mother, This maidservant is also to make you happy, concubine courageous, please take it lightly.”

This man’s temperament is the same as that of the same year. At that time, she and Nalan Chunxue entered the palace as a show girl. Lu Yuba and the show girl bullied the new palace girl. Nalan Chunxue stood on the sidelines, but Lu Wanwan couldn’t bear it. .

It’s just that the result was the same as that of that time. She had a weak temperament and a low status.

Through the dialogue of the people, Wei Yingluo slightly checked the veins of the harem, and then he said: “Dare to ask the slave, the world often talks about bird training, have you ever mentioned fish training?”

Everyone’s words, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the empress smiled: “I have lived for so many years, I have never heard of such a thing as training fish, why?”

“There are many koi carps in the goldfish pond of the Old Summer Palace, and the minions are brave. Please use the koi carps to try them out.” Wei Yingluo respectfully said, “Look at whether it is God’s will or the lie is lying.”

“Emperor.” The Queen Mother was moved by what she said, looking at Hongli. “Wan Shou Ri is the first time to encounter such an interesting situation. I want to try it. Seeing that my kindness touched God, or this maidservant In order to deceive rewards, deliberately deceive.”

Hongli did not immediately agree to come down, only staring at Wei Yingluo.

“Wei Yingluo.” He shouted suddenly, “You… really confident?”

previously called her maid, now call her Wei Yingluo.

Wei Yingluo gave him a weird look, she could not understand the man, he sometimes resisted her abnormally, and sometimes worried about her, why is it so contradictory?

shook her head inwardly. She felt that she was still too young to understand what men thought.

“Yingluo sentence is true, don’t dare to bully.” Wei Yingluo bowed his head, “If there is a half-truth, I would like to sink the lake to feed the fish.”

She has nothing to do but can only use her life as a bet.

The corners of her eyes swept to the face of the pure chaise, and she saw a sneer in her heart. Wei Yingluo knew that she wanted her own life, so she would not say anything to stop.

But soon, afterglow from the corner of his eyes swept to the Hongli face… how did he make this expression? Could it be stopped?

“If the emperor really wants to experiment, it should be funny, but…” Chun Guifei thought about it, and she finally said, “However, she can’t choose this koi by her. In the first place, it is fair and just.”

She wanted Wei Yingluo’s life with all her heart, just in case, she chose a bucket of koi by herself, carried by several eunuchs, and returned to the small pavilion.

The queen mother walked to the edge of the barrel and stroked the edge of the barrel as usual, then said: “Let’s put it!”

Thumping, thousands of koi carps along the barrel and plunged into the lake, instantly dyeing the lake water colorful.

Everyone was surrounded by the lake, the atmosphere could not breathe, staring closely at the koi in the lake.

Princess Concubine laughed suddenly: “They are all gone.”

The koi swam in all directions, the colorful lake returned to the blue, and the pure concubine turned her head and said: “There are still people who dare to fool the queen mother in public. It is not enough for one time, but for the second time. This is really bold. The emperor should Severe punishment must not be flattered!”

Hongli frowned, looking at Yingluo without a word.

Ying Luo was staring at the lake surface where the ripples were flattening, and he looked attentively and deafened.

The pure concubine was afraid of Hongli and changed his mind, saying, “Come here!”

The guard stepped forward and was about to take Wei Yingluo away. The queen mother suddenly raised a finger: “Wait… look.”

The sound of the water is from far to near. I saw the five-color silk gathered from all directions to the small pavilion. Look closely. It is not the five-color silk, but the five-color koi.

In the exclamation of everyone, the koi car suddenly lined up in a row, and nodded in the direction of the small pavilion, as if the courtiers bowed their thanks to the empress dowager.

If it is said that the worship of the Hundred Birds is unprecedented in his predecessors, this thousand fish knocking is hard to see for the rest of his life.

Ying Luo knelt down suddenly and said loudly: “The Queen Mother, Longevity is released, and she will be moved to heaven, and then there will be a spectacle of bird gyration and fish knocking on her head. Blessed by heaven, Xianshou must be long, Hongfu will be full of heaven!”

everyone’s attention fell on her, on the koi in the lake, no one noticed Hongli.

Hongli suddenly gave a glance at Li Yu beside him. Li Yu understood that and greeted the eunuchs and the court ladies beside her. A group of people all kneeled down towards the empress: “Heavenly Xiangrui, congratulations to the empress, empress Hexi! Congratulations to the Empress! Empress Hexi!”

All of a sudden, He Sheng was full of gardens.

The empress can’t help but laugh: “Good, good, good! On the day of longevity, the sky is auspicious, proving that I have been to the Buddha for many years, and my merits have not been done in vain! You are also a good boy, what reward do you want?”

Wei Yingluo Zhizhi Wuwu for a long time: “The Queen Mother, the minions miss the Forbidden City very much and want to go back…”

The Queen Mother saw her thinking for so long, and when she wanted something terrible, in the end it was such a trivial matter that she couldn’t help but wonder: “Just this?”

Wei Yingluo looked at her carefully: “The grace of the Queen Mother, moved to heaven, the slaves are cheeky, willing to serve the Queen Mother…”

Not waiting for her to finish, Hongli resolutely said: “No!”

The queen mother looked at Hongli: “This girl is clever and clever, I like it very much, and I want her to come to Shoukang Palace to serve, why not?”

Hongli glared at Wei Yingluo angrily, suspecting that she was ingeniously plotting to borrow the queen mother: “The queen mother, this girl’s slick mouth is very tricky.”

The queen mother glanced at him: “I came to serve me, but not to serve you. Being able to speak kindly, being happy and just right, I still feel that life is too boring!”

“Yingluo Xie Empress Dowager…” Seeing that Wei Yingluo was about to bow down to Shane, Hongli was anxious.

Rather than placing this scourge next to the queen mother, it is better to watch by her side and make a determined decision. Hongli hurriedly rushed ahead of her and said: “The queen mother is not my unwillingness, but… I want to enclose her as a promise! ”

Empress: “Agree?”

Hongli gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, she Wei Yingluo is just a palace girl, a slave of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I have signed a promise, which is already exalted.”

The empress looked at Hongli, then Yingluo, and saw some clues, and smiled: “This child made me happy at the longevity festival, and it was also due to a filial piety. In my opinion, it is just right to be a noble!”

Wait for the opening of Hongli, Yingluo has tapped his head and thanked him: “The minions thank the empress dowager!”

Hongli gritted his teeth and looked at Yingluo down the donkey.

The Queen Mother: “Gui Wei, you come here!”

Yingluo stepped forward, the queen mother took her hand, took the bead of her wrist and put it on her: “You are a clever child, there will be blessings in the future!”

Yingluo: “Yingluo is brave, there is another request.”

Hongli: “Wei Yingluo, you don’t have to measure in!”

Yingluo didn’t speak, but the queen mother looked at her with great care, and smiled: “It’s okay, let her talk!”

Yingluo turned to salute the pure concubine: “The concubine, the minions and Mingyu are waiting at the Changchun Palace together. The feelings are deep and difficult to separate. Please ask the concubine to show mercy and allow Mingyu to accompany the minions!”

Hong Lisheng was afraid that Wei Yingluo would continue to measure in, and quickly opened his mouth: “It’s just a maiden, so give it to her if she wants!”

Although the pure concubine was unwilling, when Hongli Chrysostom opened, she could only frown: “Yes.”

Ying Luo smiled and said: “Minions… No, concubine thanking the Emperor for his grace.”

The celebration was over and everyone left with enthusiasm. There were so many things happening at the celebration, which was enough for them to talk for ten days and eight months. They rushed back to share with friends and relatives, and the Summer Palace quickly fell into a cold state.

Gang Habitat, Ming Yu has been allocated to Wei Yingluo as a maid, and naturally stayed behind to clean up her salute.

“Ying Luo.” She said again, “Are you for me…”

The words didn’t finish, the door suddenly opened, and the rain was coming. Yuan Chunwang looked somber in front of the door. As a rainy rain rolled into the door, he turned to Mingyu and said, “Go out.”

Mingyu glanced at Wei Yingluo, Wei Yingluo said: “Mingyu, please go out first.”

looked at her and Yuan Chunwang. Mingyu put down his unfinished clothes, pushed out the door, and closed the door with his backhand.

The four heads are relatively long, Yuan Chunwang asked one by one, “Why?”
