[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, light poles were erected in the palace. On the 28th, colorful lights were hung everywhere, and various colored lights were hung on the light poles like a bright moon. There are so many things to see.

Because it gets dark early after winter, these lanterns are also lit up early.

When Gu Qianqian was in the room using her identification skills to appraise a jasper pipa that Qianlong had sent not long ago, she heard the suppressed excited conversation of the little maids outside.

She couldn't help being a little interested, what happened to make these court ladies so excited?

Du Juan saw that she no longer looked at the pipa in her hand, but turned her head sideways to listen to the sound outside, so she knew that she was interested, and asked tactfully, "Madam, why don't you go and ask them what they are talking about."

Gu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Go, but don't scare them."

Du Juan laughed, said she knew it, and then opened the curtain and walked out. As Du Juan's status in front of Gu Qianqian is getting higher and higher day by day, the weight of her words now is different from before, and even the tone is slightly heavier. Scared a palace maid quite badly.

This is the power of power.

Du Juan came back quickly after inquiring about the news. She walked into the room and said to Gu Qianqian with a smile: "Mother, they are talking about the lanterns in the palace. Tonight is the first day when the lanterns are lit. There are so many lights and they are so beautiful, they all want to go and have a look.”

Gu Qianqian became a bit interested when she heard this. She knew about it, but she didn't take it to heart before, "Has it been ordered now?"

"It should be on, it's getting dark now." Du Juan knew the rules of the palace very well, so he spoke with certainty.

Gu Qianqian looked around the crowd. Although Bai Ling didn't say anything, she looked at Gu Qianqian anxiously. How could Gu Qianqian still not understand her thoughts? She couldn't help laughing and said, "In this case, let's go Look."

Bai Ling's face suddenly showed joy, and the other maids were also full of excitement.

Gu Qianqian asked Du Juan to find out a rabbit fur cloak. After putting on the cloak and the hand stove, she led the maids to Qianqing Palace. Along the way, the colorful lights hanging at the gates of each palace caught everyone's eyes.

When they arrived in front of Qianqing Palace, everyone couldn't help being attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh.Nine large palace lanterns are hung in front of Qianqing Palace, and small lights are also hung on the eaves and under the corridors. Those small lights are exquisite and gorgeous, and they look like the Milky Way from a distance, so beautiful that people can't bear to look away.

What's more rare is that, even though there is a distance, if you look carefully, you can find that none of these palace lanterns are the same, and each lantern has a unique shape and is unique.

In particular, the most beautiful and largest longevity lamp is made of colored glaze. There are eight pictures of immortals painted on the eight sides of the colored glaze. , the Longevity Lantern turned around, and the pictures of the immortals circulated in front of everyone's eyes one by one, it was really beautiful.

"The colored lanterns are left and right with alchemy, and the longevity lamp brightens up." Gu Qianqian had a look of surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't help but read a line of poetry.

"Qianqian." Qianlong's voice came from behind, Gu Qianqian turned her head, and when she saw the person behind her, she was startled, with a look of surprise and joy on her face, "Long Live Lord."

"Did Qianqian recite my poem just now?" Qianlong's hands were behind his back, a layer of snow had accumulated on his shoulders, and there was a chariot not far away, obviously he just got off the chariot and walked over.

The weather was cold, a snowflake fell on Qianlong's eyebrows, he blinked slightly, the snowflakes fell, and there was a smile in his dark eyes.

Gu Qianqian's cheeks were slightly flushed, she lowered her head shyly, "Long Live Lord, when did you come? The concubine was only looking at the lamp, but didn't notice."

Seeing her shyly avoiding answering his questions, Qianlong couldn't help feeling more compassionate in his heart, and said: "I haven't been here for long, but you are looking at the colored lanterns?"

"En." Gu Qianqian nodded, her eyes turned towards the Longevity Lantern, and said: "I heard that today is the day to light the lanterns, and the scenery here in Qianqing Palace is the most beautiful in the palace, so I came to take a look."

"Since you want to see it, why don't you go inside to see it. It's cold today, you look outside, what will you do if you get cold?" After Qianlong said this, he stretched out his hand and took Gu Qianqian to the Qianqing Palace.

Du Juan and others hurriedly followed.

After entering Qianqing Palace, Qianlong asked someone to make a cup of tea for Gu Qianqian, he squeezed her hand and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent some lamps today, I originally thought to send those lamps to you tonight Pick, since you are here, why not pick the one you like first."

"The concubine should be respectful rather than obedient." After being stunned for a moment, Gu Qianqian agreed with a smile. She knew that after the women in the harem knew about this, she would probably make many people jealous again.But what did it matter to her?

Li Yu immediately asked people to bring up those palace lanterns.

Those palace lanterns were exceptionally beautiful, and each lamp fully demonstrated the craftsmanship of the craftsman. Gu Qianqian felt good looking at each lamp. After she took a sip of tea, she put it down casually, hugged Qianlong's hand and said coquettishly: "Long Live Lord! , There are so many lamps here, the concubine can't choose, Long live you have a good eye, you can hold the eyes for the concubine, and help the concubine choose a lamp."

"You are not polite to me." Qianlong raised his eyebrows, his tone a little teasing.

Gu Qianqian smiled all over her face, "The concubine believes that the Lord Long Live has good eyesight. If the Lord Long Live agrees, the concubine will not lose your benefits when she turns around." When she said this, her eyes rolled, her brows and eyes were like water, and the spring breeze was like a spring breeze in Qianlong. Swept across the face.

Qianlong's throat tightened, a burst of flames sprang up from under his body, his Adam's apple rolled, his eyes darkened, "I remember your words."

Gu Qianqian smiled without saying a word.

Speaking such private words in front of so many people, Qianlong only felt an unspeakable excitement. He coughed, changed the topic, and his eyes fell on those palace lanterns, and lit a colored glazed lantern with eight treasures. Said: "This lamp is beautiful and noble, just like Qianqian, Qianqian should choose this lamp."

Gu Qianqian glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Long Live Lord really has a good eye."

After getting the lamp, Gu Qianqian did not sit in Qianqing Palace for a long time, thanked her, and returned to Changchun Palace with the Eight Treasure Glazed Lantern.Qianlong looked at her back, feeling itchy in his heart, but because it was Concubine Xian's little life these days, even if Qianlong was in a good mood, he had no choice but to give up. He looked at the remaining palace lanterns in the room, and said to Li Yu: " The rest of the palace lanterns will be sent to the harem."

"Cha." Li Yu agreed.

He made a look at the other eunuchs, and led them to the harem to deliver the palace lanterns. The first stop was the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Queen Mother didn't care much about the palace lanterns. She got countless good things, so why would she care about this one? Two lamps, but she was very useful for Qianlong's kindness.

The queen mother chose a few lamps at random to keep, and even asked Li Yu to reward them.Li Yu didn't dare not accept it, and thanked her, but she couldn't help thinking that if the Empress Dowager knew that the Lord Long Live had rewarded Concubine Xian with a lamp first, she might not have rewarded him.

However, the people above did not ask about this matter, but Li Yu dared not mention it. Who would cause trouble for himself when he is free.

However, there are some things that he can't avoid if he wants to.After the palace lanterns were delivered to the Queen Mother and Queen, they arrived at the Zhongcui Palace of Concubine Gao.

Concubine Gao Guifei had just finished drinking the medicine, and was twisting a candied fruit into her mouth, when she learned that Li Yu was here to deliver palace lanterns, her eyes swept over those palace lanterns, her eyes were full of calm, and she asked casually: "What are these?" The palace lantern, is the Long Live Lord rewarding this palace alone, or is it available in every palace?"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Yu's forehead, and he showed a smile, "The imperial concubine, every palace has them."

The smile on Concubine Gao's face faded by a third, she didn't even look at the palace lanterns, "Since that's the case, who picked the palace lanterns first before this palace?"

Li Yu really had a headache in his heart, he lowered his head and said, "Long live God let the empress dowager, empress empress and—— concubine Xian choose the palace lantern first."

When she heard the Queen Mother and Empress, Concubine Gao had no expression on her face, but when she heard Concubine Xian, the expression on her face suddenly changed, a ferocious expression appeared on her calm face, like an enraged beast, "You mean Concubine Xian?"

"Yes, empress." Now that the words have been spoken, Li Yu can only break the can and smash it. Li Yu is secretly helpless. Fortunately, even if he says such words that anger the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine will not treat him. Just vent your anger.

"My rank is higher than that of Concubine Xian, why did Concubine Xian choose first?" Concubine Gao's words were almost squeezed through her teeth.

Li Yu thought to himself, Concubine Xian was not only a noble concubine first, but she was before the queen mother and empress. Lord."

He stopped talking and refused to say more.

But Concubine Gao's eyes showed a bit of anger, coincidentally, did she deliberately run into Lord Long Live by chance?Concubine Xian can't serve Lord Long Live these few days anymore, why is she still acting like a fox, insisting on pampering Lord Long Live.

"I know." Concubine Gao sullenly suppressed her anger and randomly picked out a few lamps, asking Buschren to reward Li Yu and send him away.As soon as Li Yu left, Concubine Gao angrily asked people to put away those palace lanterns. At first, she was interested in seeing these palace lanterns beautifully, but now seeing these palace lanterns, she only thought that what she got was nothing but Xian The things that the concubine didn't want were not smashed because they were afraid of not being able to explain to Qianlong.However, when the Palace Lantern Festival is over, Concubine Gao will definitely not leave these things as an eyesore.

.........

"Concubine Xian, stay here." On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, after coming out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Gu Qianqian was about to return to the palace when she heard a voice behind her. pick pick.

"The imperial concubine." Gu Qianqian showed a light smile on her face, "Is there something wrong with you asking the concubine to stay?"

Concubine Gao stood in front of Gu Qianqian, her phoenix eyes fixedly looked at Gu Qianqian, with obvious hostility in her eyes, "I heard that Lord Long Live rewarded you with an eight-treasure glazed palace lantern last night."

"Well, there is something about it." Gu Qianqian nodded.

Concubine Gao twitched the corners of her lips, showing a gloomy sneer, "Little sister, cherish the eight-treasure glazed palace lantern, maybe it will be your hope in the future."

After saying this, she lifted her foot and left.

"What are you doing, imperial concubine?" Gui Zhi's face was filled with righteous indignation, "He suddenly ran over and said such things to you, empress, it is clear that he intentionally bullied us."

"Bullying?" Gu Qianqian laughed out loud, and she glanced at Gui Zhi, "I'm bullying with just one sentence, Gui Zhi, you are still too immature, but one sentence is nothing but bullying."

Gui Zhi blushed from what she said, she faltered, lowered her head, and dared not say anything more.Her purpose was to provoke Concubine Xian to fight with Concubine Gao, but she never expected that Concubine Xian would not accept her aggressive methods at all.

"Okay, let's go back." Gu Qianqian rolled up her sleeves, and her bright peach-like face had a half-smile look on her face. It was too late for her to thank Concubine Gao. What Concubine Gao said just now was clearly telling her that Concubine Gao was hiding something. It's a trick to invite pets, but I don't know what the trick is.

Gu Qianqian was sitting on the chariot and rushing to Changchun Palace, thinking in her heart whether she wanted someone to inquire about it, but, thinking about it, maybe she didn't need to inquire about it. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve family banquet, and Concubine Gao might use tomorrow's The family banquet, after all, if it was her, she would do the same.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Forbidden City became lively at dawn.

The ladies of the palace spread sesame straws on the palace road early in the morning, and when they step on them, they will make a crackling sound.

Gu Qianqian knew about this custom, so after dressing up early in the morning, she smiled and said to Du Juan and the others: "I don't need anyone to wait on me now, why don't you go out to step on the new year, and come back after a good omen."

"It's not very good, how can our family wait for someone to leave your mother alone to serve." Xiao Zhuzi was a little moved, but felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, you go, anyway, we have sesame stalks outside." Gu Qianqian said, "Go all, you have worked hard to serve me for a year. Maybe it will be safe and sound, and the wind will go smoothly."

After hearing Gu Qianqian's words, the crowd dared not refuse any more, and all smiled. After saluting to Gu Qianqian, they invited their friends and companions to go outside to step on the New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is one of the busiest days of the year for the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it is also one of their happiest days.On this day, it is not allowed to be famous in the palace, and it is not allowed to swear.The court ladies and eunuchs will even get two new clothes, and if the master who follows them is generous, they will also get a lot of rewards.

Gu Qianqian was not stingy with her actions, she directly sealed everyone's red envelopes, as many as Xiao Zhuzi and Du Juan, and there were gold ingots inside, some made of peanuts, some made of small ingots, and some of them contained gold ingots. At least ten taels of silver.

This heavy reward made everyone in the Changchun Palace smile when they came in and out.

Could they be unhappy?The reward this time is more than their yearly quota.

In the near future, dinner at Aixinjueluo's family is about to begin.It's dinner, but it's just too late.

Today's New Year's Eve family banquet has no outsiders except the royal family.However, even so, today's family banquet was extremely grand. Gu Qianqian put on auspicious clothes, sat in her seat, and shook her head secretly while looking at the dishes placed in front of her.

Today's family banquet is actually not without richness. There are 40 courses of cold meals and hot meals, 20 courses of wine and tea meals each, and 108 courses of soup, porridge, candied fruit and other snacks.

On the banquet, there are dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear's paw and foie gras, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. There are all kinds of dishes, such as Jianghuai cuisine, Yangzhou cuisine, Shandong cuisine and other cuisines.

It can be said that such a banquet is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

However, after these dishes were served, everyone would only shake their chopsticks symbolically. Apart from being afraid of being impolite at the family banquet, the more important reason was that the taste of these dishes was very ordinary, far less delicious than it looked.

Gu Qianqian was only thankful that she ate something to fill her stomach before she came, otherwise she would really be hungry all night.

She drank the wine carelessly, and her eyes fell on those elder brothers who were accompanied by eunuchs and set off firecrackers in the corridor. These elder brothers seemed to have grown up a lot after a while, and the oldest elder brother, Yong Huang, was Light the firecrackers by yourself, and the sound of the firecrackers will add a bit of New Year's atmosphere.

Although the family banquet is said to pay attention to the rules, it is much more relaxed than the palace banquet.It was also Qianlong's acquiescence for the brothers to set off firecrackers, in order to make the empress dowager happy.

This is not so unusual, Qianlong can be said to be very respectful to the queen mother for his filial piety on the surface.Even on the Empress Dowager's birthday, he once personally staged a colorful dress to entertain relatives, and it was in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Compared with this, letting the brothers set off firecrackers is nothing at all.

After setting off the firecrackers, the queen mother had a bright smile on her face. She waved to those elder brothers who came back from setting off the firecrackers, motioning them to come in.

Brothers all walked into the Qianqing Palace one after another, bowing their knees to greet the queen mother, "Grandson pays respects to the emperor's grandmother, and may the emperor's grandmother be blessed and safe."

"Okay, okay, you're all good boys, get up." The queen mother smiled all over her face, and beckoned her elder brothers to stand up. She looked at several elder brothers with satisfaction, pointed to a cup of mutton soup on the table, and said : "It's cold today, my brothers just came in from the outside, let's warm up with a bowl of mutton soup."

"Thank you, Grandmother." Yong Huang and the others expressed their gratitude.

When the queen mother gave an order, a eunuch brought a bowl of mutton soup to the brothers' table.

Qianlong also rewarded each elder brother with a dish of hanging oven duck. This duck was delicious at today's family banquet. After all, the hanging oven duck is roasted. with.

After the banquet, it was time for the palaces to give gifts to the queen mother and the emperor.

The gifts that Gu Qianqian prepared this year were lukewarm. The gift for the empress dowager was a consecrated Guanyin statue. When the empress dowager saw this gift, her expression turned a little ugly. Gu Qianqian thought she probably remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival gift she gave earlier.

However, although the Empress Dowager was not happy, she knew what day it was, so she didn't say much, and just let people accept it.

This attitude is exactly the same as her attitude towards the queen and others just now. Du Juan and others secretly felt wronged for Gu Qianqian, but Gu Qianqian didn't take it to heart at all.

She only looked at Concubine Gao with her eyes, seeing her secretly excited expression, she couldn't help showing a bit of curiosity in her eyebrows and eyes.

"Recently, my concubine was lucky enough to get the "Picture of Ladies with Hairpin Flowers" by Master Tang, and I dedicated it to Lord Long Live as an annual gift." Concubine Gao said excitedly, the corners of her lips curled up, and she gave Buschren a look.

Holding the painting scroll in both hands, Buschren stepped forward a few steps.

Surprised expression appeared on Qianlong's face, he nodded at Li Yu, and after Li Yu passed the scroll to him, Qianlong couldn't wait to open the scroll, and when he saw the lady on it who looked like a Tang Dynasty beauty, his eyes There was joy in his eyes, "Okay!"

The smile on Gao Guifei's lips became brighter, she knew that Long Live Lord would definitely like this painting.

"The imperial concubine's gift is very heartfelt." Qianlong put away the scroll with satisfaction, put it back into the box, and acted extra cautiously, "You have the heart, what do you want?"

"Long live God can like it, and the concubine will be satisfied, there is nothing else to ask for." Gao Guifei said.

Qianlong's eyes showed some satisfaction, "How is your health recently?"

"The body of the concubine is almost ready." Concubine Gao said with a blushing face.

Qianlong nodded and didn't say much, but Concubine Gao retreated contentedly. She knew that starting tomorrow, her green head card would reappear in the respect room, and she would seize this opportunity to regain the Long Live Lord favorite.

This time she didn't just search for "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers", she also has other calligraphy and paintings in her hands. Although those calligraphy and paintings are not as valuable as "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers", they are still rare.With those calligraphy and paintings, she can slowly plot, and use the calligraphy and painting to learn from the Lord Long Live. At that time, the red sleeves will add fragrance, and the room will be full of charm...

Concubine Gao showed a look of determination in her eyes.

She involuntarily looked towards Gu Qianqian, wanting to see her astonished expression at this moment, but found that Gu Qianqian was not looking at her, but was looking at the painting instead, with a somewhat inexplicable look on her face.

What is Concubine Xian thinking?Concubine Gao frowned, meeting Gu Qianqian's gaze.

The two looked at each other, and Gu Qianqian withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, with a friendly smile on her face, she couldn't see her thoughts.

Her expression made Concubine Gao feel frustrated as if she had punched cotton.

Is Concubine Xian not worried at all?Concubine Gao was secretly annoyed.

How did she know that when Gu Qianqian saw the "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers", the first thing she saw was the word "fake" in front of the "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers".

Sending a fake to Qianlong, Gu Qianqian really didn't know what expression to make to Concubine Gao.She didn't laugh on the spot, she was already doing Gao Guifei a lot of face.

After Concubine Gao "beads and jades come first", the gifts given by others paled in comparison.

It was Gu Qianqian who gave Qianlong a Tianhuang seal carved by herself, which Qianlong liked very much and was praised by Qianlong. It's nothing more than the praise of the Long Live Lord, but if Concubine Xian gets a seal carved by herself, the Long Live Lord also praises it, what is that? !
