"Your Majesty's birthday?"
Wei Xi was stunned, "When?"
But this birthday, why don't you dare to say it in front of Your Majesty?
”"Back to Niangniang, it's the first day of September."
Wu Huan's voice paused before he continued, "Your Majesty's birthday will be held in the cold palace when Your Majesty's mother, Concubine Shui Ji Niangniang, is alive and lively, but since Shui Ji Niangniang passed away, Your Majesty has never had a birthday, and we people have not dared to do it in front of Your Majesty." ”Wei Xi was silent for a while, then nodded towards Wuhuan, "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”"Yes."
When Zong Xu entered the inner hall, Wei Xi was quietly in a daze with his palm supporting his head.I didn't even notice that someone had come to the side.Zong Xu had no choice but to speak, "What are you thinking?"
”Wei Xi's fugue outside the world was suddenly pulled back, and he turned his head to look at Zong Xu who didn't know when he sat next to her.Whether it was when she was stupid or after she got better, every year when she celebrated her birthday in early March, her family would make a birthday banquet and give her carefully prepared gifts, every year, without a year of interruption.What does Zongxu look like every year on his birthday?
Except for his mother, no one remembered or cared about the date of his birth, and even if they did, they did not dare to mention that the day of his birth was no different from the other three hundred or so days of the year.If Wuhuan didn't mention it this time, she wouldn't think Zong Xu would remember her birthday.People who have not had their birthday for a long time remember what birthday banquet and what birthday gifts.It doesn't matter, she gives!"
I'm thinking it's almost September in the blink of an eye, and time flies.Now that the weather is getting colder, will Your Majesty take me out of the palace to have fun one day?
”"Okay," Zong Xu agreed without hesitation, got up and took Wei Xi's hand, "Let's go to dinner first, and when it's time for the rest of the day, we'll leave the palace." ”After lunch, the two still went to the imperial study together.Wu Huan followed behind, silently calculating that the first day of the ninth lunar month was not a day off, and seeing that the queen learned of His Majesty's birthday and was not ready to mention it at all, she couldn't help but be secretly anxious.The queen mother shouldn't be too troublesome to prepare for His Majesty's birthday, right?
He would have reminded him before that he was thinking that the queen would re-hold a birthday banquet for His Majesty!
When he arrived at the imperial study, Wei Xi first took a piece of dragon pattern paper and wrote a letter.Put it in an envelope and hand it to Xiao Qi, "Send the letter to Zhou Yuan." ”Xiao Qi took the envelope down, Wei Xi met Zong Xu's gaze, and said calmly: "Tell something." ”The things she wants to prepare are really not available in the palace, so she has to ask for foreign aid to help.Taoyuan Town.After reading the letter sent to him by Wei Xi, Zhou Yuan almost guessed what she was going to do, but there were other things written on the letter, and even he didn't know what it was for, so he was a little confused.However, what should be prepared still needs to be prepared.Early on the morning of the third day after the letter was delivered to Taoyuan Town, the things Wei Xi wanted were transported to the palace, and finally stored in an uninhabited palace in a corner of the palace.And in the past three days, Wei Xi also did two things.She directly asked Lin Qiuyuan to buy a workshop specially used to make lanterns.The lantern workshop told her to go down, but she still had to make some things herself.There is also a task for Kyoto's Ruriba.The days were hectic all at once.Taoyuan Town and the Medical Bureau don't have to worry too much about her, everything is in order.Lin Qiuyuan's industrial integration is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and Wei Xi can receive letters or account books from him every few days.After that, every time Zong Xu saw the account book in his queen's hand, he never asked again, so as not to prick his heart once he asked.In addition, there is also the progress of the construction of Yixue, and Wen Jiuming also reports on it every few days.After such calculations, although Wei Xi was not as busy as Zong Xu, he was not able to be idle.Fortunately, there are no palace affairs to take care of in this palace, and the only palace affairs that manage the palace maids and eunuchs to assign errands to distribute the moon silver have all been handed over by her to Yingluo and Jade as full responsibility.She wasn't the material to do these things, and she was impatient after only a few days at first.Now in addition to the above affairs to deal with, Wei Xi has other things to do.As a result, except for lunch and the time after lunch, it is difficult to see her all morning.This was the case for several days, and Zong Xu finally realized that something was wrong."
Queen, what has she been doing these mornings?""
Back to Your Majesty, the minions don't know.The queen mother and the little seven and eight girls beside her seem to be deliberately hiding. ”Wu Huan guessed whether the queen mother was quietly preparing a birthday gift for His Majesty, but he was not sure.But if he is really quietly preparing a birthday gift, then he should not show his stuff here with His Majesty.I didn't ask from Wuhuan here, and Zong Xu asked me directly during the meal."
Xi Xi has been missing people all the morning these days, what are you doing?"
Wei Xi calmly took a sip of soup, "I'm making something, and His Majesty will be able to see it when it's done, so keep it secret now." ”Zong Xu: "It's good if you're happy, but don't be too tired." ”Wei Xi nodded in agreement.Wuhuan stood aside and was shocked when he heard it, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.In a remote palace in a corner of the palace.Wei Xi patted off the saltpeter powder accidentally stained on his hands, and Yu Guang saw Xiaoba hurriedly come in.I simply went aside and poured a cup of tea."
Mother.""
How's going on at the Lantern Workshop?""
30,000 have been produced.""
Almost, help me tell the people what I want.""
Where's the glass field?""
I'm still checking the number you want, Niangniang.""
Let them hold on.""
Yes."
That day.A corner of the capital.One knocked on the door of an ordinary family.The man in the house opened the courtyard door and saw that it was a person he didn't know, "Who are you looking for?"
”"These big brothers," the visitor brought a pasted sky lantern and explained his labor, "my lord will celebrate his birthday on the first day of the ninth lunar month, and my wife wants to put some sky lanterns for her husband on that day to pray for blessings, I wonder if the eldest brother is willing to help?"
”The man looked down at the sky lantern handed to him, "Your lady is sincere to your master, okay, it doesn't take much effort to leave and right, I help to put it can be regarded as helping to wish your lord and wife a long time of affection." ”The person who came hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, and please put up the sky lantern when the eldest brother arrives." ”This scene happened in every corner of Shangjing City, 30,000 lanterns, Xiao Ba and Wei San's subordinates, it took seven days to send them to the homes of the people in the city who were willing to help pray for blessings.On the other side, Liulichang also sent the finished things over.Because it was in the palace, Wei Xi could only ask Luo Sheng and the people from his secret guard camp to help, and she had to hide it from His Majesty, so she had to tell her purpose, and Luo Sheng said that even if His Majesty asked, he would keep his mouth shut.I didn't reveal half a sentence when I got it.The tallest building in the palace is the Star Pavilion.It is also a place that Wei Xi has been optimistic about for a long time.By the time Luo Sheng and the others listened to Wei Xi's command, it would take another three days to finish their work.It's almost the end of August.Zong Xu finally met his queen in the morning."
Done?""
Well," Wei Xi let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm finally done." ”looked at Shang Zongxu curiously, "But it's not yet time for Your Majesty to see." ”He wouldn't know that Wei Xi wanted Luo Sheng and the people from the Secret Guard Camp to leave, but even when Luo Sheng came back, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.Zong Xu is becoming more and more curious now."
When will you see it?""
Your Majesty, don't worry, it's going to be soon."
Zong Xu looked at Wei Xishen's mysterious appearance, so he had to smile and nodded, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
But tomorrow will you rest and go out of the palace to relax?
”Wei Xi was stunned when she heard this, she almost forgot about this stubble, and nodded hurriedly, "Go." ”These days, she is almost so busy that her feet don't touch the ground, how can she not go out of the palace to relax.Early the next morning, the emperor and queen changed into civilian clothes and left the palace in microclothes.Even a person with money did not let the subordinates follow on the bright side, eating, drinking, and playing for a whole day, until the moonlight came, and then returned to the palace.Wei Xi was tired of playing and went to bed early when she returned to Fengyi Palace, and Zong Xu got up after she fell asleep to finish dealing with the urgent send, and then quietly lay back to sleep.The next day was another busy and ordinary day for Zong Xu.After Wei Xi finished breakfast, he began to prepare the ingredients to be used in the birthday banquet, all of which were secretly transported to the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace while Zong Xu was not there.In the blink of an eye, it is the first day of September.Zong Xu got up early in the morning to prepare for the court as usual, and on the way to the Mingtai Hall with Wuhuan in the past, he suddenly said: "Why are you absent-minded?
”Wuhuan was still thinking about how the queen would give His Majesty's birthday, and almost didn't react for a while when she heard the voice, "Minion, the slave is thinking about it, it's September, time flies so fast!"
”Zong Xu glanced back at him, "Don't learn from the queen."
Also, who borrowed your guts to lie to me. ”Wuhuan will almost cry.Zong Xu looked at him with a pitiful look, "That's it, don't say it if you don't want to say it, as if I'm embarrassed for you." ”Wu Huan: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”Zong Xu: "There is no one on this snake with the stick.When I arrived at the Mingtai Palace, I saw Luo Sheng, who was acting as a guard in front of the palace.Zong Xu: "Another absent-minded!
It seems that they have been comfortable for too long!
It was rare for Wei Xi not to go to the imperial study with Zongxu on this day, and took everyone from Fengyi Palace to spend an afternoon personally playing her highest level to prepare a birthday banquet.and arranged the side hall for dining, just waiting for the birthday star to come back.The Imperial Study.Seeing that His Majesty was still watching the recital in the evening, Wuhuan hesitated for a while but couldn't help but remind, "Your Majesty, do you think it's time to go back to Fengyi Palace?"
”Zong Xu glanced at the few remaining copies, "It's not dinner time yet, I'll go back after I finish approving these copies." ”After a pause, he added, "Why do you seem more anxious than I am?"
”Wu Huan: "The feeling of knowing and not being able to say it is really uncomfortable!
