Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 86 Five Hundred Kites

The taste is like Tieguanyin, but it is more fragrant than Tieguanyin, just like the first snow.

This season, this year's new tea has not yet come out, where can such good tea come from?

"Have you tasted it from time to time?"

Looking at her expression, Zhang Chang knew that she couldn't drink it.

Ding's face was a little red, and he put down the tea cup boringly.

Chen Wenxin smiled slightly, "It's just last year's Tieguanyin."

Wei agreed: "I've also drank Tieguanyin, it's not as clear as this one."

Chen Wenxin smiled and replied: "Spring water is the best for making tea, and rootless water is even better."

Rootless water is rainwater.

"I read in ancient books that there is a better water, which is the snow water from the branches of plum blossoms. I remembered it when I was admiring the plum blossoms in winter. I stored two urns of snow water, and today I took it out to make tea. It is really frivolous and wonderful. "

It turned out to be tea brewed from snow water, it was so frivolous and thorough.

Zhang Changzai was amazed, "Ms. Qin's thoughts are so clever, even concubines are so arty. How much snow can accumulate on the branches of plum blossoms? Just today's tea, I don't know how many days it will take to collect it. "

It is indeed a very elegant thing to brew tea with snow water from plum blossom branches.

It's strange that the emperor likes her.

Ding Chang bit his lip, does the emperor like ladies or talented women?
The former she can pretend, the latter...

She has never read any books since she was a child, and she only knows a few words.

It's not easy to pretend to be a talented woman.

This place is full of wine and food, drinking tea and talking, the emperor's will spread into Yikun Palace.

All the people got up and went to the front yard of Yikun Palace to receive the order, with Chen Wenxin and Concubine De at the front.

Zheng Shi and Zeng Shi were taken aback when they heard the imperial decree, and Madam Liu comforted them, "Our master is favored, and it's a very auspicious day for his birthday. It must be a good thing that the emperor has a decree."

The harem is different from the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty had a complicated relationship. It is very likely that because an official you befriended committed a crime, your home was ransacked.

Therefore, when the officials of the previous dynasty heard that the imperial decree had been delivered to their families, they would panic subconsciously, thinking that it was something bad.

People like the Chen family are better, their relationship is clean, and there is a favored concubine in the palace.If it was someone else's family, it's not uncommon for the timid wife to be scared to death.

In the harem, they are all the emperor's wives and concubines, and the emperor is more or less sympathetic. If there is no major incident, they will not be confiscated or executed.

It's not a serious matter, the emperor usually just gives him a punishment of thinking behind closed doors.

Li Dequan proclaimed the decree personally, "The emperor rewarded a pair of five phoenix and seven-bead step rockers, a pair of gold chiseled and flower-piercing heart boxes, a tourmaline with eighteen sons, a red gold plate with a chi Yingluo ring, a red gold beaded multicolored necklace, and five hundred kites. ..."

The emperor's rewards were delivered in the morning, so why is there a bunch of rewards delivered now?

That's all for the rest, these five hundred kites...

Is it to be funny?

She needs to free up several rooms to store the five hundred kites that the emperor rewarded her.

Everyone was puzzled, but Li Dequan smiled mysteriously, "Miss Qin, please look up."

Not far away, a dozen big red Double Happiness kites flew in the sky, flying higher and higher.

There are more and more kites flying up into the sky below, some are far and some are near, some are high and some are low.

After a while, the sky in front of me was almost covered by the big red Double Happiness kites.In the cold spring, this piece of red makes people feel warm.

It turned out that the five hundred kites awarded by the emperor meant this.

Everyone in Yikun Palace looked up, and saw that the kites were high and low, and the low ones were not in a hurry to fly high, but just moved their positions slowly.

"Look, ma'am, those kites seem to be arranging some kind of figure!"

Bai Lu pointed to the kite that was moving slowly in the low place, and the concubines around her also noticed it when she said it.

"It seems...it's a birthday character!" Ding Chang exclaimed.

The emperor used [-] big red kites to write the cursive character "Shou" to Chen Wenxin in the air.

Kites are inherently erratic, and there are as many as five hundred of them.I don't know how much time it will take to train every kite to stay where it should be.

The emperor's concubine is really caring...

This is more precious than any calligraphy of the emperor.

She looked at the huge birthday character in front of her, which covered the sky, and smiled unconsciously.

"Mother, look, look..."

She turned her head and pulled Zheng Shi, like a child presenting a treasure to an adult, and asked Zheng Shi to look at the big cursive character "Shou".

Zheng's face showed a look of relief, she smiled and patted Chen Wenxin's hand, "Mother saw it, it's so beautiful."

The small table brought a peacock kite out of nowhere and put it in the air.

While holding the string in his hand, he handed it to Chen Wenxin and said, "Master, spring is the best time to fly a kite. Master let go of this kite, and let go of the bad luck of the old year, and the new year will be blessed and safe."

Chen Wenxin took the kite, and Bai Lu gave her a small silver scissors.

She cut the thin kite string, and the peacock flew up into the sky, flying higher and higher, until it could no longer be seen...

The sight of five hundred kites spelling out a big red birthday character in the air was seen by not only Yikun Palace, but also everyone in the front and rear palaces.

In order to spell out the word "shou", five hundred eunuchs and guards holding kites stood in the best positions in front of and around the harem.

Concubine Tong's Chengqian Palace is not far from Yikun Palace. When she heard the grandma's report, she opened the window and froze there.

The big red double happiness kite has a huge Chinese character for longevity.

The blue sky in spring is dyed with bright red, which is dazzling.

Outside Chengqian Palace, there were also a few young eunuchs holding kites, shouting something.

"Go further to the left of yours, beware of getting entangled."

"Stand farther away, our stroke is not straight enough."

……

Concubine Tong gave a bitter smile, remembering that on her birthday last year, the emperor wrote a birthday letter in hand, she was so happy.

Compared with the treatment of Concubine Qin today, what is there to be happy about?

Seeing her in a daze, the eldest mother frowned and said: "Your Majesty, remember what the emperor said, you don't have to compare favors with the little concubine. As long as you firmly hold the position of noble concubine, the emperor will make you queen one day. At that time, the empress will be a wife and they will be concubines, what else is there to be afraid of?"

The position of the imperial concubine?
That's right, she only has the position of imperial concubine, what else is there?

The emperor did reveal his intention to order her to reorganize the harem without any trouble, and to make her the empress when the time is right.

This doesn't mean that it's not a day or two. She doesn't know how long she will have to wait.

She was so tired of waiting, really tired.

Could it be that she has to wait until the second elder brother grows up and is named the crown prince before she can ascend to the next position with her son's dignity?

The second elder brother is only her adopted son, who was left by the former queen Hesheli.

If possible, she still hopes that it will be her son who will be crowned prince in the end...

She stroked her flat stomach, which looked like a ruin.

There was never a trace of a child in it.

Concubine Tong smiled wryly, and when a gust of wind blew, she shrank her neck involuntarily.

Her voice was like catkins flying outside, hoarse and messy in the wind.

"Eldest mother, I will wait, wait for that day."

Grandma looked over and frowned at Concubine Tong's action.

She is only 29 years old, how can she already look like an old woman, with the air of decay all over her body?
The eldest mother sighed silently, stepped forward and closed the window, and also blocked the dazzling red sky.

The voice of the little eunuch outside sounded faintly.

"Okay, don't move, the concubine Qin must be watching!"

……

In the front palace, the emperor looked up outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Standing beside him was Nan Huairen with brown eyes. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and he smiled as he looked at the kites all over the sky.

The emperor also had a whim, so he called Qin Tianjian to inquire about the feasibility of this kite typesetting.It was Nan Huairen who calculated the wind speed in recent days and told the emperor that the wind speed at noon today is the most suitable.

As long as there is wind, the kite will move.

No matter how suitable the wind speed is, it is impossible to remain still.

So what the emperor requested was a cursive script for longevity, even if some places were slightly distorted by the wind, it would not affect the shape of the entire character.

Nan Huairen personally supervised the matter and finally completed the task satisfactorily.

"Aiqing did a great job."

The emperor looked at the kite in the air and imagined Chen Wenxin's expression at the moment.

She will like it, right?

He really wished he could watch the kite with her by her side, but after much deliberation, he still resisted going to Yikun Palace.

The gathering of concubines and concubines in Yikun Palace today is a good opportunity for Chen Wenxin to win people's hearts.

If he went, it would inevitably arouse jealousy and hatred, wouldn't it destroy the harmonious atmosphere?

If he goes to Yikun Palace alone at night, he must ask her if she likes it...
