Chapter 1991 Six Volumes 46 Same Joy (7 More)
Wanxi has already tidied up and is waiting for the emperor's decree, and then they will go back to the palace to celebrate the queen mother's birthday.

Hu Shijie came to see him off in person, and after entering the door, kneeling on both legs, he was able to get up, but asked to kneel on one leg again.

Wanxi laughed, "What's wrong with Mr. Hu? Could it be possible that even those who celebrate the New Year kneel down in advance and want to ask me for a big red envelope?"

Hu Shijie, who had always had frost on his jade face, with stern eyebrows and eyes like a living Hades, at this moment, his cheeks couldn't hold back because of Wanxi's words, and he blushed.

"Master Ling, this servant is kneeling on behalf of the soldiers guarding the garden. The emperor rewarded them with an extra month's money and food, but they all knew that it was thanks to Master Ling, but they never had a chance. Kowtow to thank you in front of Master Ling, then I turned a corner and begged my slave to kneel on his behalf."

Wanxi laughed, "Tell them not to think wrong...it was rewarded by the emperor, so they can only thank the emperor in their hearts."

Hu Shijie knelt down and couldn't afford it, "What the master said is, but the slaves always understand in their hearts-these three years have been when the imperial court has used troops, and the military expenditure has been huge, and the palace has tried to save money as much as possible; Besides, this month is the Empress Dowager's birthday, so there is a lot of room for money. Why did the Emperor suddenly reward the guards with a month's worth of food at this time?"

"If you want to talk about the big event in the garden this year, there is only one, that is, the master finally gave birth to the seventh princess. If the emperor rewards it because of a happy event, it must be because of this big happy event in the garden. This is the blessing of Master Ling and the Seventh Princess."

"What's more, even if the outsiders don't know, how can the slave not know that this money is not from the palace, but from the silver treasury of the Yuanmingyuan—this money is what the master has been trying to control the lotus ponds and fields in the garden all these years. Out of all the money you get, the ones that are still surplus after the daily maintenance of the garden are excluded.”

"So besides thanking the emperor for his grace, how can the servants stop thanking the master?"

Wan Xi laughed, "Then I thank them for guarding the garden well this year, so that the Seventh Princess can give birth safely."

Hu Shijie's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Master will accompany the emperor on the southern tour in the first month of next year. But please rest assured, master, the servants are still in the garden. As long as the seventh princess is in the garden, the servants will definitely spell out My own life must also protect the seventh princess."

Wanxi finally smiled reassuringly, nodded and said, "With Mr. Hu's words, even if I walk with the emperor for a few months, I don't have to worry about it."

The guards guarding the Old Summer Palace sounded as if they were all on the outskirts, not as important as the eunuchs and women.But if you pass items from the outside to the inside, the first pass is the guards guarding the door.As long as they put their minds to it, the risk can naturally be reduced by half.

November 25, the Empress Dowager's birthday.

The emperor sent officials to sacrifice to the back hall of the Taimiao.

The emperor went to the Shoukang Palace in person and celebrated the Empress Dowager.Minister Wang saluted at the Cining Gate, and all officials saluted at the Meridian Gate.

After the ceremony, the emperor sent the empress dowager to the Chonghua Palace to celebrate, and the emperor personally served the banquet.

Because it was winter and such a family banquet was held in Chonghua Palace, the emperor and the harem felt more at ease.Then someone suggested that the empress dowager might not eat the usual imperial meals even if they were not fresh.It's better to take advantage of the snow in winter, set up a charcoal stove in the hall, and roast some fresh meat to taste.
