It turns out that these three transplanting places have a lot of articles. The first place is the hometown of the Empress Dowager when she was a child, where all the memories of her mother are left. The second place is the place where the queen mother went to her grandfather's house after her death, where she met the great ancestor who was on the southern tour at that time, and she has been entangled in her life since then. The third place is the place where Emperor Gaozu paid tribute to the mausoleum with Mount Tai as his successor, and it was also the place where Gaozu traveled for the last time in his life.
When everyone at the banquet learned of the hidden situation, they all praised the Sixth Highness for his diligence and filial piety. Thinking to himself, He Yi, the Sixth Highness, is probably the last queen.
Zong Zhenglin's ingenuity made the rest of the princes gloomy. The prince was especially resentful, thinking that Zong Zhenglin, the obvious princeling, clearly had a draft, but he didn't know it at all. It was really bad intentions to go straight to the past and show off in front of the queen mother and the emperor.
It was precisely because of the open and secret struggle at the birthday banquet that the prince saw that Zong Zhenglin was a cold face and made it clear that he did not want to see him. This also made Yuan Chengdi increasingly disappointed with the prince.
What the prince thought, Zong Zhenglin didn't bother to pay attention to it. He was as serious and upright as before. After bowing, he returned to his seat and sat up straight. But in my heart, I was very interested in the little woman's troubles in Huizhou, and the things that were covered up tightly.
Mu Xiyao was surprised when she saw Zong Zhenglin's ceremony. I didn't expect that he and I would go there together, all playing emotional cards, and they really had a good understanding of each other. He tilted his head and gave him a sly smile, then turned back and waited for his big gift to appear.
Most of the gifts given by female relatives are hand-copied Buddhist scriptures or female red embroidery. The only things that stood out were the only copy of the Vimalakirti Sutra presented by the Crown Princess and the double-sided embroidery for the birthday of the boy completed by the Fifth Prince, both of which were highly praised.
When Mu Xiyao was giving her birthday gift, she saw two little eunuchs carrying objects as tall as one person, covered with dark green satin, and walked forward like this.
Everyone is joking that they are indeed a family, and even the way they appear is so similar to that of the sixth prince, Zong Zhenglin.
After the two eunuchs stood still, they carefully removed the cover from both sides at the same time. The silk satin fell, immediately causing exclamations.
I saw a screen-like ornament standing in the center of the hall. The main body was actually colorless glass that had never been seen before, and the whole body was transparent. Surrounded by a carved huanghuali frame, the center is inlaid with two enlarged Vanda orchid plants. The flowers are lavender, and the branches are dark green.
The whole Vanda orchid, whether it is petals or vines, is shining brightly, extraordinarily luxurious. The shape of the flowers is unique and elegant.
A closer look reveals that the enlarged Vanda orchid is actually made up of countless small flowers and vines. These small flowers and vines are all made of real Vanda orchid flowers and leaves, and the surface is sealed by crystal pouring. Through the crystal, you can see that every flower and every leaf has distinct veins and lifelikeness, as if a breeze is blowing and swaying. All the flower plants sealed by the crystal retain the most beautiful form when they survived, which is vivid and dazzling.
The entire screen has hundreds of flowers, and the vines are intertwined. The craftsmanship is complicated and exquisite. In the lower right corner of the screen, there is a goose-yellow silk label with a handwritten calligraphy by a woman: Splendid Vanda Orchid. The flowers are splendid, and the fragrance is eternal.
As soon as this screen came out, everyone at the birthday banquet was immediately amazed. More surprising than others were the Queen Mother and Emperor Yuan Cheng. However, the reasons for moving the two are completely different.
Among the hundreds of flowers, the Queen Mother only loves Vanda orchid, which is well known throughout the dynasty. When Emperor Gaozu met and knew her, he gave her this flower many times, and praised "Lan Xinhui, Shuyi Dexin." So the Empress Dowager had a special liking for Bandai Orchid all her life.
Yuan Chengdi was amazed at the craftsmanship of the screen, which was so ingenious and unique in the world. Today's Huizhou Orchid is already an important tax item for the Great Wei Dynasty. If this unparalleled craftsmanship can be added, it will surely achieve another grand occasion. Yuan Chengdi thought of the source of the screen, and directly asked Mu Xiyao to come forward to ask questions.
Mu Xiyao got up calmly, first greeted the Empress Dowager, and then replied gently.
"Long live the remarks, this screen was made by the slaves and maids when they were admiring the orchid in Huizhou, and then brought the craftsmen to make them."
When the queen mother heard that it was made by Mu's own hands, she was a little more satisfied. The above process is so complicated, it can be seen that it is really hard.
"Ms. Mu, how many flowers are in this screen? Aijia looks like there are hundreds of flowers?" The Queen Mother was a little curious.
Mu Xiyao smiled and said in a clear voice, "If you return to the Queen Mother, the whole Vanda orchid shares more than 270 flowers, and the shape of each flower is unique and unparalleled in the world. Therefore, the entire screen is also the only one in the world. ."
The queen mother was happy when she heard it, and she was carefully carried back to the bedroom. Recalling that the sixth prince's side concubine Mu Shi was pregnant, she was rewarded with Mu Xiyao's feather brocade, and even the unborn one in her belly got the longevity lock and Yu Ruyi. The female relatives who saw it were very jealous.
Yuan Chengdi was even more overjoyed. Unexpectedly, this craftsmanship was owned by the Mu family. This surprise was really too big. Emperor Yuan Cheng was very excited, and he felt that this concubine had been promoted well, which was really wise at the beginning.
On the spot, he explained that Zong Zhenglin would come to see him in his study tomorrow, and praised Mu Xiyao as an example of a noble daughter of the Wei Dynasty.
As soon as Emperor Yuancheng said these words, all the women present were envious and jealous. Seeing Concubine Namu salute and thank her, she sat back next to His Highness the Sixth Highness with a graceful appearance, and all the women were eager to replace him, and the eye knife even greeted Mu Xiyao.
Concubine Shu on the side was very happy, she felt that her son and Mrs Mu had given her a face, and they were more pleasing to Concubine Mu. I muttered in my heart that it seems that since she entered the mansion, her son has also been very smooth. Could it be that this is really lucky
If Concubine Shu knew how unusual this woman's luck was, it would not be a surprise, but a fright.
As soon as Mu Xiyao sat down here, Chao Zong Zhenglin winked in smugness, and poked his thigh with his little hand under the cover of his sleeve. The typical look is asking for praise and reward. Seeing Zong Zhenglin smirk in his heart, he patted her small buttocks, but his face was not revealed at all.
The fifth prince, Zong Zhengming, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and glanced at Mu Xiyao, feeling unwilling. Such a smart and beautiful woman was taken away by Zong Zhenglin. Emperor Yuancheng just asked Zong Zhenglin to go to the study tomorrow, which is obviously related to this screen, and it seems that he still attaches great importance to it. Zong Zhengming's eyes were dark, and he secretly thought about going back to discuss with the advisors in the government, to see that there is room for action here.
This night's birthday banquet for the empress dowager, the Sixth Prince's Mansion dominated, and the two birthday gifts were talked about with relish, and it was rumored that everyone in the streets and alleys of Shengjing knew about it for a while.
After the birthday banquet, Zong Zhenglin took Mu Xiyao back to the house, and Mu Xiyao was smugly begging for the reward in the car.
The Sixth Highness readily agreed, and when he returned to Danruo Garden, he put the person on the bed, so that he could clean up. It is said that she responded to her request in the car, and she deserved a lot of rewards, which she will never forget.
