Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 77 Gift

The Longevity Festival was just around the corner, and just after the Chou Festival on the 10th day of the fifth lunar month, everything in Kang Ningbo's house started to move. The masters were busy dressing up, and the servants were busy preparing things.

Although Uncle Kang Ning holds an inconspicuous title, it is the emperor's fortieth birthday after all. For such an important event, the family members must be brought along.

Because Xie Hui had given instructions before, Lin Yuanzhi did not dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to take Qin Yajun with him.

Huang's heart was full of dissatisfaction. They were all descendants of the Lin family. The eldest brother's family was prosperous, but he and his children did not have this honor. Even Qin Yajun, a person of unknown origin, could enter the palace with him.

She made up her mind that her eldest brother would not interfere with the marriage in Prince Wei's palace.

The family set out at the beginning of Mao Shi and arrived outside the Forbidden City at the end of Mao Shi.

The chamberlain in the palace led Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Wenjing to the Huangji Palace. Because Bi, Lin Zisu, and Qin Yajun were female relatives, they waited in the Zhongji Palace according to the arrangements of the palace people.

Liang Wanyi and Chen Yuqi's family had prominent status. When Lin Zisu arrived, she couldn't see in front of her, so she saw Luo Yue who was not far away from her. The two of them nodded and smiled, and each knelt down in their respective positions.

The empress greeted her concubine in the Zhongji Palace, and the emperor waited for the ministers to congratulate him on his birthday outside the Huangji Palace. First, the ministers of the cabinet led the civil and military officials to chant in unison in front of the Huangji Gate, and the emperor greeted the ministers one by one.

Got reward.

At the beginning of noon, the emperor moved to the Zhongji Hall, where the wives of each family congratulated him on his birthday and presented gifts.

The eunuch read the gift list, and many people below showed mocking smiles on their faces.

Bi had no confidence in his family's gift and had been feeling uneasy. Hearing that the emperor was actually interested in the seven-wheeled fan, he stood up and said, "This seven-wheeled fan is an instrument made by Quanzi and my daughter.

It can relieve the heat."

The emperor saw that this instrument was strange in shape, and it happened to have a lifelike picture of wind lotuses painted on it, so he asked: "Uncle Kang Ning, please come and demonstrate it for me."

Lin Zisu said with a smile: "Today is the emperor's birthday, and he will be rich in gold, but I can't afford to delay it. If your Majesty needs it in the future, I and my brother will definitely go to the palace to demonstrate for your majesty."

Seven-wheel fan? What is that?

The emperor was in a very good mood today. Hearing the eunuch reciting an unknown object, he suddenly became interested and asked: "This is the first time I have heard of this seven-wheel fan. I wonder what it is?"

He intended to take the exam Lin Zisu, and asked in a long voice: "It's my birthday today, can you prepare a birthday message?"

Lin Zisu thought for a while and said: "My servant is not good at words and dare not make people laugh at her generosity. Fortunately, I have read a few more books recently, so I had no choice but to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."

Lin Zisu smiled brightly and said: "After I went back last time, I remembered the emperor's lessons and read the Five Classics again. If your majesty is free, I would like to ask your majesty for some advice."

Hearing Bi's mention of his daughter, the emperor immediately thought of the pretty little girl at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the rumors Huang Sheng said about Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu's words not only meant birthday wishes, but also echoed the blessings of Song De, which could be said to be very suitable for today's occasion. Mrs. Chang'an Marquis on the side was thinking the fastest, and immediately fell to her knees and shouted loudly

: "Long live the emperor!"

The emperor smiled and nodded.

The emperor smiled and said to Lin Zisu: "You girl, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are becoming more and more like a minister!"

Lin Zisu said, screwing up the mechanism, and the seven-wheel fan blades turned towards the corner of the hall, causing the curtains to fly.

The emperor had this intention and nodded in agreement. Lin Zisu stepped forward and finished the ceremony. The emperor was not in a hurry to give the demonstration. He first smiled at Lin Zisu and said: "Little girl of the Lin family, that wind and lotus painting was written by you.

?”

As soon as he shouted, the wives also understood and knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"

Bi didn't know much about the Seven-wheel Fan, so he bowed and said, "Please allow me to allow my daughter to demonstrate it for His Majesty."

The emperor still felt that he was not finished, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Little girl of the Lin family, you are so stingy. I haven't seen you through yet, and you are locked up."

The emperor saw Lin Zisu answering questions fluently, unlike his princesses who didn't even dare to say a few words when they met him on weekdays.

The hall was deafening and the chanting of the saint continued for a stick of incense before resting. The emperor was very satisfied and ordered everyone to stand up.

The emperor had never seen such an instrument before, so he clapped his hands and praised loudly: "I didn't expect that there are such ingenious things in the world. It's really amazing!"

"You girl are very good at painting. I never thought you could understand this art of heavenly craftsmanship."

After half a cup of tea, Lin Zisu turned off the machine and stood quietly, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

These lines come from the Book of Songs. They were written by Prince Xuan of Zhou Dynasty after his personal victory in the conquest, and his servant Shao Bo praised the emperor for his virtues. The meaning of these lines is "Praise to the emperor for a long life! Congratulations to me, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, for your good reputation spread all over the world."

The emperor implements civilized and virtuous governance, and the surrounding areas are harmonious and peaceful under his rule."

But after all, there are people with clever minds. Madam Marquis of Chang'an, who was standing in the front row, saw the emperor's face full of joy and immediately praised: "This seven-wheel fan can rotate on its own. Even with Gongshu's ingenuity and Kong Ming's ability,

Nothing more than this.”

Lin Zisu bowed again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a sharp eye, and I really admire him."

The eunuch who sang the ceremony continued to read, and when it was Uncle Kang Ning's turn, it was already more than an hour later.

"This seven-wheel fan was made by my brother. My daughter is just doing some superficial work."

Several young eunuchs carried out the seven-wheel fan with their hands and feet and placed it in front of the palace. They didn't know how to use it.

Not only the emperor had never seen it, but everyone present had never seen it before. They all couldn't figure out why the seven lotus leaves on it automatically started to rotate for no reason.

Nowadays, Marquis Weiyuan has the highest status among the lords, so he was naturally mentioned first. Marquis Weiyuan prepared a pot of ten thousand-year-old coral tree. The pink coral was shining, it was really dazzling, and everyone in the palace was amazed.

"Oh? Please tell me and listen."

The emperor laughed and asked: "Oh? There is such a device? Then I want to see it with all the ministers."

Lin Zisu bowed Yingying and said in a crisp voice: "Long live the Emperor! It is clear that the Emperor of Heaven has made people heard about him endlessly. They criticize his virtues and harmonize the four countries."

After Lin Zisu mentioned it, the emperor vaguely remembered what he had said, nodded and said: "Okay, you will come and listen to the Buddhist scriptures banquet in the palace on the 15th of May. I am still waiting for you to tell me.

A lecture on "Zhai Jing"."

Lin Zisu immediately knelt down and thanked him. The emperor smiled and waved his hand to express his displeasure, and then said to Cao Shouli next to him: "Shou Li, the treasure presented by Kangning's residence is meritorious and will be rewarded!"

Cao Shouli cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "The emperor has a decree: Uncle Kang Ning will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver and two colorful coins for his meritorious service!"

I went to bed early yesterday and forgot to turn on the scheduled release. I’m really sorry (.＿.)
