Chapter 949 Birthday
Wuxue said: "My slave just saw a few termites in the backyard. I was worried that the wood would be damaged, so I kept looking for their nests in the back."
"Termites? Did you find it?”
“I found a place under the rockery in the backyard. I just boiled water and poured it down. It should have been scalded, but I don’t know if it was. Only that place, I searched for a while, and just heard Sister Sheer calling, so I came a little late, please forgive me."
Shang Ruyi shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Be careful, there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants in spring. If you find any, deal with them as soon as possible. If you can’t handle them, just tell the Shanggong Bureau and ask them to send someone to deal with them.”
Wuxue said: "My slave understands."
A few people worked for a long time before finally counting the gifts and arranging the gift list. When everything was done, the sky darkened, and Shang Ruyi had some hasty dinner. Then he went to bed and slept.
The next few days were uneventful.
On this day, Shang Ruyi was practicing calligraphy in Qianqiu Hall again. He had just written two words when he heard someone say that Tao Wanyin was coming.
She immediately put down her pen, stood up and went out to greet him.
When she walked to the gate, she saw Tao Wanyin wearing a lotus green soft silver Qingluo dress, with her hair neatly combed into a bun. Different from her previous plainness, today she wore a head full of pearls, which made her skin even more beautiful. The fat is condensed, and the face is like a peach blossom. Seeing her walking forward, Shang Ruyi immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Tao Jieyu."
Tao Wanyin was originally smiling, but when he heard her say this, he was stunned.
Then he said: "The princess already knows?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "My father canonizes you as Jieyu. This is great news. The people below have already spread it. All over.”
Tao Wanyin also She was a little surprised. After all, the emperor had just delivered the decree this morning. Unexpectedly, everyone knew about it. Looking at the bright and transparent look of Princess Qin, she didn't say much and just said with a smile: "I have done nothing." I feel ashamed to receive this salary.”
While he was talking, Shang Ruyi had already led her to sit down in the palace, and then said with a smile: "Jieyu's words are too self-effacing. My father is responsible for everything and works hard every day. Jieyu can serve him well, which is a great contribution to the country. She canonize him." It's reasonable."
Tao Wanyin still smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Tu Sheer brought tea, and Shang Ruyi ordered: "Let Shangshi Bureau bring some more snacks, and I will talk to Tao Jieyu for a while."
Tao Wanyin said hurriedly: "No need, I brought some over."
After saying that, he turned back to signal and followed her over. The palace maid Qiao Shu immediately brought a food box and put it on the table. When she opened it, she found several lifelike peach blossom cakes and lotus cakes. Tao Wanyin smiled and said: "The food bureau has come to me in the past two days." There are a lot of fresh snacks sent over there. I want to use them with the princess, but I hope you won’t dislike them.”
Shang Ruyi smelled the faint floral fragrance from the shortbread and said with a smile: "No, I happen to like this."
She originally didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and she couldn't care about who Yu Wenyuan favored. Concubine, where are you? She stayed overnight in the palace, but because she specifically borrowed Tao Wanyin's mouth to deliver soup to Yu Wenyuan that day, she also understood that she had sold a favor to go out, so Yu Wenyuan favored this beauty in the past few days and canonized Jieyu today. , she was paying attention silently.
The people from Shangshi Bureau were not slow to react, and they were so quick to flatter me.
But this Tao Jieyu did not feel proud of being favored, or immediately sent some gold and silver to express her gratitude. Instead, she came over with snacks. This kind of gesture of gratitude that was neither humble nor overbearing, but also a bit homely, made Shang Ruyi I felt a bit more close to her.
So the two of them were eating and chatting about daily life.
As they talked, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other. Shang Ruyi heard that she came from a scholarly family and had gone to school for several years. She was an extremely elegant person, especially her last husband was a talented man. They were very good friends. Reciting poems and making fun of the moon can be regarded as the harmony of the harp and the harp. During the days when she was treated coldly after entering the palace, she mostly read and learned the harp in the palace, and even wrote and painted. Yu Wenyuan often went to her place in the past two days and met her. Her calligraphy is also very good.
She said, looking up at the desk next to her: "When I came in just now, I seemed to see the princess writing too."
"Yes,"
Shang Ruyi said, got up and led her over there, smiling as he walked: "It's just me The word is ugly and shameful." Tao Wanyin did not speak immediately, but went around behind the desk and looked down carefully, and then said softly: "Qinghai is covered by long clouds and snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. The golden armor will never be returned until Loulan is broken.”
She thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, this should be the one that won the first prize in the poetry competition after the Fufeng War, right?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Exactly. ”
“The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken...”
Tao Wanyin recited the last two lines again, and then said with a smile: "Although there is no Fufeng in this poem, only Loulan, it is indeed well done. There is also the word Princess, Gao Gu Vigorous and powerful.”
“……”
"Only by writing in such words can the heroic spirit of this poem be vividly expressed on the page."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Jieyu praised Miao. I am just idle and full of strength. No place to use it "
Tao Wanyin said with a smile: "How could it be possible?"
"..."
"Words are like people, and practicing calligraphy can also sharpen people's hearts."
"..."
"If there is a chance, I would like to write with the princess, so that I can ask for advice."
"I dare not, and I can't ask for it."
Two While the person was talking, someone suddenly ran outside The little eunuch walked up to Qiaoshu and muttered a few words. Qiaoshu came up and whispered: "Jieyu, just now Eunuch Yu came to send a message, saying that the emperor is coming over in the evening, and asked you to go back and prepare to pick him up."
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Tao Wanyin suddenly became nervous, and then turned to look at Shang Ruyi shyly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Actually, she came here to say thank you today. She was too embarrassed to speak, so she just talked about it for a long time. She even praised Princess Qin. After all, she had not even met the emperor before. There were very few opportunities, but after getting advice from Princess Qin, she stayed in bed for several days. Today, she was directly promoted to Jieyu. This made her happy and grateful to Princess Qin.
Qiao Shu whispered again: "And there is -"
Tao Wanyin immediately thought of something, his cheeks turned red again, and then he smiled at Shang Ruyi and said: "Look at me , I only talked about useless things for half a day, and I forgot about the real thing. It happened that Zhang Jieyu and I were together. The birthday falls in this month, and it is also the time for the canonization. The emperor plans to hold a banquet in Baifu Hall in three days for everyone to get together. "
He said with a soft smile: "I thought of others to spread the word. We are already separated, so come here by yourself if Princess Qin gives you a favor——"
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "What are you saying, Jieyu, I will definitely be there."
Tao Wanyin smiled and said: "Then I will be waiting for you."
After saying that, he took the Qiao Shu left.
