The Fourth Master's Favorite Concubine from the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 69 Eve of Longevity Festival ()

In a blink of an eye, the day of Longevity Festival is here.

A large-scale celebration was held in the palace to congratulate Emperor Kangxi on his 60th birthday.

This is the first longevity celebration of the Qing emperor. This is probably an unprecedented large-scale celebration in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

For dozens of days, celebrations of varying degrees were held from the imperial palace to the capital and throughout the country, especially the capital.

With the imperial palace as the center, various celebrations were held day after day in the capital to celebrate the emperor's sixtieth birthday.

Thousands of birthday stars over sixty-five who came from all over the country to celebrate the emperor's birthday gathered in the capital; there were more than 300 elders in the Jiangnan area alone.

The celebrations for Emperor Kangxi's sixtieth birthday in the capital were arranged in an orderly manner.

From the main entrance of the Imperial City, Zhengyang Gate, Daqing Gate, and Tiananmen Gate, to the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, the Meridian Gate, through the Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, and Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, to Yuyuan Jingshan in the north of the Forbidden City, and then to Yuhai Beihai in the west of Jingshan, passing by Zhantan Temple, Xi'an Gate, Xisi Archway, Guangji Temple, Baochan Temple, Xinjiekou, Chongyuan Temple, pass Xizhimen, Wanshou Temple, Changchun Garden, Yuanmingyuan to reach the Summer Palace.

Along the way, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, singing and dancing, Jinfang colorful pavilions dotted here and there, and colorful sheds facing each other. It was full of lights and flowers, and it was a lively and lively scene of celebration.

Qingyou looked at the lively scene and felt a little warm for a moment. The capital was now decorated with a flourishing and festive atmosphere, giving it a New Year atmosphere.

However, knowing that Kangxi's sixtieth birthday was the day, Kangxi returned from his inspection tour of Yizhou and entered the city directly from the Summer Palace.

But Qingyou couldn't help it and started cleaning up early. After all, today's activities will last all day.

Before dawn, everyone in the yard had packed up and was waiting to set off.

Some time ago, Qingyou was busy with the vaccination of cowpox for Tuan Yuan Yuan and his wife, and then she was busy helping Yinzhen prepare gifts for the Longevity Festival, so she had no time to pay attention to him.

I didn't notice that Liu Gege's belly was already so big, but I carefully calculated the time. Liu Gege was now nearly nine months pregnant, and it was almost time.

Qingyou looked away without paying much attention. After all, it was not her own child, so Qingyou naturally didn't care much.

He didn't notice the look between Liu Gege and Uranala Fujin.

Qingyou turned to look at Wu Yagege and Nian Bianfujin. These two people knew that even Qingyou didn't care much about the backyard during this period.

The two men were now fighting in full swing in the backyard. During this period, Qingyou's attention was focused on the vaccination of two children with cowpox in the front yard, so the two felt that they were missing a strong competitor.

In order to gain Yinzhen's favor, the two resorted to many tricks in private.

Delivering soup to the front yard or dancing in the garden to attract others are already considered the lowest-end methods.

Among them, Wuyagege is the most generous, and may also realize that Yinzhen will not take pity on him because he and he are actually from the same Wuya clan bloodline, and even have trouble because of De Fei The reasons for the empress are more indifferent.

Therefore, how could Wuyagege, who had a high self-esteem, be willing to do so. Wuyagege carefully planned for several days, and finally in the still chilly spring, he danced in the garden, attracting many butterflies. For a while, everyone in the backyard said that Wuyagege was the "Flower Fairy" alive. , otherwise it would not be possible to attract many butterflies in the spring when the cold wind is steep.

Moreover, these butterflies were not looking for anyone, but just flew to Wuyagege. The rumor of this "Flower Fairy" spread to everyone in the backyard for a while.

Even Yinzhen was a little surprised, so he went to Wuyagege's yard a few more times. For a while, Nian Fujin was really jealous of Wuyagege, but Nian Fujin prided himself on his identity and couldn't do it. Why did Wuyagege lose his price like this?

Qingyou also heard about this matter, but Qingyou didn't believe the rumors in the house.

Everything has always been exaggerated by people in the backyard, causing the rumors to become more and more outrageous. Obviously these people have never seen it with their own eyes, and they are all rumored to have noses and eyes. Even Wu Yagege is pregnant with a strange fragrance. The flower fairy from the sky came to this world, and this butterfly came here specifically to celebrate it. After all, February 14th is the day when the flower fairy was said to be born.

These words were also widely circulated in the backyard. Although these rumors were suppressed afterwards, they could not stop everyone in the backyard from believing them. Even after Uranala Fujin suppressed them forcefully, they could not stop the people in the backyard. Believe.

Even Yinzhen was a little interested in the rumors, so he went to Wuyagege's yard a few more times. This time, Wuyagege was even more deified.

After Qingyou took care of the two of them, she came out to the yard and heard these rumors. They were just ways to fool people.

Qingyou came from the information bombardment of the 29th century, so she naturally knew these methods. Over the years, Qingyou had only seen on some TV series that a certain exotic princess could attract butterflies, but she had never seen it in real life.

However, there are endless methods of cheating, such as drying clothes with spices for several days and nights, so that the clothes are dyed with the fragrance of spices, and preparing butterflies in advance, the butterflies will naturally be attracted by the fragrance.

As for having a strange body odor, that is even more outrageous.

I had never heard of it before, so why are such outrageous rumors spreading now?

Just put some dried flower petals into the tub when you take a bath every day, and soak those dried flower petals in water to drink. Over time, you will have some fragrance on your body, but it won't last long.

To talk about why Qingyou knows so clearly, we have to mention that when he was young, he was poisoned by a certain TV series and wanted to be dyed with the same fragrance to attract butterflies.

Unfortunately, instead of attracting butterflies, Qingyou attracted a lot of bees and got stung a lot.

At that time, Ke Ke was laughed at by Qingyou's mother.

Qingyou shook her head and shook all the embarrassing things out of her mind.

Qingyou believes that even though these people in the Qing Dynasty have not experienced any information bombing, they can probably figure it out after careful consideration.

After all, during this period of time, Wuyagege requested a large number of dried flowers in the yard, and everyone in the backyard noticed them.

It's just that everyone is not as generous as Wu Yagege, and they don't want to be said to be picking up people's wisdom behind Wu Yagege and imitating Wu Yagege's style.

Therefore, although everyone in the backyard was jealous, they did not compete with each other.
