Chapter 7: Returning the Praise (1)

Sorrow to the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake!

On the nineth day of the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor advances to the flowers, the palace servants, and the officials change their clothes from the fourth day of the day to wear silk clothes and decorate the scenery of the Double Ninth Festival.

Juhua has always been known as a gentleman among flowers, with a noble character, and has always been loved by literati. Qu Yuan regards "Eating in the autumn chrysanthemums at night and falling in love with her" as noble; Tao Weng regards picking chrysanthemums in the south mountain as a pleasure; Fang Weng uses chrysanthemums to miss the true feelings of the past: "The yellow flowers are all in a strange way, and the Double Ninth Festival is wrongly matched with the Cornus branches. The blooming becomes more and more late, which makes it laugh at the children's outdated words." The praise of chrysanthemums and the hidden hatred of juhuasanthemums for themselves and the mistress of juhuasanthemums and the hidden hatred of juhuasanthemums for themselves are vividly displayed on the paper; there is also Li Qingzhao's "Drunk Flowers": "The festival is Double Ninth Festival, the jade pillows and gauze cabinets, and it is cool in the middle of the night." "Don't say that the soul is not lost, the curtain rolls up the west wind, and people are better than the yellow flowers

Thin." It is heartbreaking to blend the love between the resentful woman and the thinness of the flowers. Some people also introduce heroic poetry into the lonely autumn. The * "Cai Mangzi" says: "Every year, Double Ninth Festival, and now Double Ninth Festival, the yellow flowers on the battlefield are particularly fragrant." "Not like spring, it is better than spring, and the vast rivers and sky are frost thousands of miles away." It shows the tough beauty of the flowers proud of frost and snow! The flowers in the palace are even more precious varieties of flowers in the world, colorful, and the Zhuyinglong is dazzling and dazzled. If they were not dealing with the question of the old concubine Liu, they would follow each other and be cautious.

"Yujian, how did that child Yingning follow you?" Old Concubine Liu was serving a blooming purple ju flower and asked Zhu Yinglong again.

"Very good, Ning'er is very good." Zhu Yinglong couldn't think of any words for a moment, so he replaced them with the word "good".

"What's great? You're so hard that you bullied me, the old woman, didn't know anything in the palace, right?" Old Concubine Liu suddenly turned around and asked with a deep face.

Zhu Yinglong's heart sank. It was just fine just now. Why did he seem to be trying to get into a crime? He looked at the queen Zhang Yan standing beside him with inquiring eyes and found that her face was also confused. Yes, it must be Wei Zhongxian's man who was making trouble in front of the old concubine. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yu Jian doesn't dare. Ning'er is the princess appointed by the imperial concubine. Even if Yu Jian has great courage, he dare not neglect her."

"It's good that you don't have it. There are many rumors about you in the palace recently. I, the old woman, watched you grow up. I understand what those people are doing, but the rumors are awesome. You have to be careful!" Old Concubine Liu bent down and helped Zhu Yinglong up with a gentle face, and said with kindness and care. It is recorded that Zhu Youjian's best relationship with Li Xuanshi who raised her, and Li Xuanshi's death was related to Wei Zhongxian. There is almost no record in the official history of this Old Concubine Liu. Unexpectedly, she cared for Zhu Youjian so much that Zhu Yinglong received a hint of maternal love in this time and space. She was naturally moved in her heart.

"Pretty, let's continue to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Look how beautiful the flowers bloom." Queen Zhang Yan cleverly pulled the old concubine Liu away and changed the subject. Zhu Yinglong gave her a grateful glance. Zhang Yan blinked her phoenix eyes and returned a sweet smile. The affection in it was not worth telling to outsiders.

After about half an hour of walking, the old concubine Liu felt a little tired. Queen Zhang Yan suggested taking a break first. Taikangbo and Zhang Guoji did not accompany her because of her age and legs. Instead, she had prepared pastries and ju flower wine in Lanxinting for them.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down around the stone table in the pavilion.

"The Concubine, Empress, Prince Xin, please try the Chongyang cake made by the old minister?" Taikangbo Zhang Guoji said attentively.

When the old concubine Liu heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not easy to eat what Taikangbo made by himself. It's just like this one a year, and the old woman doesn't want to miss it." After that, she picked up a piece of crystal clear pastry and put it into her mouth. After a while, her eyes were filled with joy and applauded.

Queen Zhang Yan also stretched out her slender jade finger and took a piece, and slowly put it into her tempting little mouth. She naturally knew what her father made. After entering her mouth, the familiar sweetness penetrated into her six internal nerves. An intoxicating smile rippled between the corners of her eyebrows, which made Zhu Yinglong look at her bloody impulse and intoxicated in the charming movement just now.

"Prince, do you also taste one?" Zhang Guoji suddenly found that Prince Xin didn't seem to have taken action, and couldn't help asking.

"Ah!" Zhu Yinglong's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly used his smile to hide his loss of composure just now. He reached out and quickly took a piece and put it into his mouth. It was indeed delicious, with a faint sweetness, a strong fragrance, and did not stick to his teeth. After chewing it for a moment, he slipped into his stomach, making people unable to help but eat the second piece, so he savored its deliciousness carefully, and praised: "It tastes delicious!"

"Zihe, go and take the ju flower wine brewed by our palace." The queen is also a lonely woman in the palace. Even if she is favored, the emperor will not spend all her time on her. In this way, all the concubines and palace maids in the palace like to find something they like to pass the time. Some palace maids even take over the work outside through eunuchs, so that they can earn some private money. Of course, most of them are deducted by greedy eunuchs. Some of this private money is saved when they leave the palace to get married as dowry, and some use it to bribe Shangguan as a gift for promotion. In short, when entering this palace, simple people will be eliminated sooner or later. Queen Zhang Yan's favorite thing is cooking and winemaking.

Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen's cooking skills were more sophisticated than those in the imperial kitchen, and the winemaking skills were even less said. The tributed wine outside was not too much. When she heard that Queen Zhang Yan wanted everyone to taste the ju flower wine she brewed, Old Concubine Liu showed a look of yearning. Needless to say, Taikangbo and Zhang Guoji, if it weren't for the loss of manners, the saliva would flow down. Only Zhu Yinglong lacked interest in drinking because he did not have the talent to taste wine. Any wine almost tasted the same when he came to his mouth. Sometimes he had doubted whether he had some problems with his taste buds, and he would automatically close all his feelings about the wine.

In a moment, Zihe came over with a small jar of wine and patted Kaifeng mud. With a slight sound, a strong aroma of wine was emitted. Unfortunately, she was sitting in the orchid Pavilion where flowers were blooming around her. The smell of flowers in the wine was difficult to reflect, but it was different when she drank it. The fragrance of flowers filled with teeth and cheeks went straight into her nostrils, faint and not disgusting. The color of wine was yellow, which was different from the yellow wine of my daughter's red, but was light yellow, just like the color of the champagne wine he drank in that time and space. Could this be champagne wine? The feeling of drinking it in the mouth was obviously not, and he was confused. How could he know that he belonged to the lowest level of society in that time and space, and had just entered society. What he had seen was that kind of small champagne, which was made of alcohol, water, glucose and pigments, which was a world of difference from the real big champagne.

"The emperor is here!" I was tasting the ju flower wine brewed by Queen Zhang Yan himself. Suddenly, the dragon of Emperor Tianqi came over. All except the old concubine Liu, the rest of the people knelt down and bowed down and said, "I am my brother, I am my husband, I am the old man, I am the old man, I am the emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Tianqi looked good. With the help of Wang Tigan and Wei Zhongxian, he left the dragon chassis, looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Let's just flat, I'll just come and have a look."
