Chapter 127: Picking up gifts from the trash
The struggle in the harem surrounding Chengqian Palace is hidden under the hustle and bustle of October.
After the gold awarding day, while looking through the glass documents, Lu Pheasant began to worry about Si Age's gift.
She didn't feel anything at first.
However, in May of this year, Si elder brother spent so much time celebrating her birthday.
Although he finally attracted the emperor, he was robbed of the limelight.
However, Lu Pheasant has always cared about Xiao Liangren's thoughts.
At the end of the month, it was Brother Si's birthday, but Lu Pheasant had not yet found out anything about it.
Wuya Yuese was originally the Si Zuoguan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He had always been kind to others, and the person in charge of Liuli in the Si Zao Office had never been taken seriously.
Yue Se made two dates with the other party for drinks and quickly went through the whole process.
After writing down the procedures and details of the manufacturing office, Wuya Yuese even brought two carts of quartz sand before sending the news to Si Age's house.
One thing, two things, nothing to do.
After Lu Pheasant received the handwriting and raw materials from his maternal uncle, he called Dai Yi and Huang Zhong.
She wrote the improved glass prescription and asked Huang Zhong to try it himself, with Dai Yi supervising the work.
Huang Zhong was obsessed with imitating Ru porcelain, and was not happy at first.
Dai Yi wants to pull him.
Lv Zhi said: "It is not easy to come up with new ideas by imitating Ru porcelain. It is better to try other things. Maybe you can get inspiration from it."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong quickly followed Dai Yi.
I don’t know when we will be able to pull out four square pieces of glass that can be used as windows.
Lu Zhi turned around and thought, the glass is a new item, even if it is burned out, it can still be sold at a good price in these 49 cities.
If it's properly burned, it might just be a gift for Brother Si.
After all, Huang Zhong and Dai Yi have been following Si Age for so long, how can they be infected with his aesthetics?
Let’s hope so.
Brother Si didn't know that his beloved wife had already planned to pick up a birthday present from the glass trash heap for him.
As soon as he left the palace today, he saw someone waiting for him on the palace wall for a long time.
"Dear guest, I belong to Dingshengxuan. I have a letter that I want to deliver to you personally."
Fourth Brother's footsteps paused, Ding Shengxuan actually had news.
Shopkeeper Lu, whom he had captured earlier, was imprisoned for a long time. After he couldn't say anything, Fourth Brother ordered him to be given a stick and let him go.
After waiting for so long, we finally have news.
Brother Si was a little anxious, so he rode directly to Dingshengxuan.
That night, the fourth elder brother did not return home. He only had someone deliver a letter, saying that Dingshengxuan had sent the news.
Lu Pheasant immediately understood that it was probably Monk Zhu who showed his head.
It didn't take long. Brother Si and Monk Nazhu had to deal with each other several times.
First, the couple almost fell into Monk Zhu's trap, but later they succeeded in catching the traitor, Shopkeeper Lu.
It’s a one-and-done kind of thing.
This time, if Monk Zhu is allowed to run away again, not only Si Age himself, but also Lu Pheasant will have doubts about Xiao Liangren's abilities.
If someone wants to be arrested, the Fourth Prince can no longer make the decision himself.
Tonight, I'm afraid I have to go to the palace, and if I lose the key, I won't be able to come back. That's normal.
It was not her turn to worry anyway, so Lu Zhi still had a good sleep.
The next day, before there was any news about the fourth elder brother, Lu Zhi was preparing to leave for the eldest princess's mansion to attend her birthday party.
Even after the regiment's favorite Princess Heshuo Chunxi got married, her birthday banquet was still a day that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the palace would organize grandly.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is very busy in the garden of Cining Palace.
The eldest princess's mansion became lively first.
This was Ninth Prince Yinzhen's idea. He wanted to thank Princess Chunxi for her help. After a while of shouting, the eldest princess couldn't resist him, so she had to agree to have a fun with the juniors in the mansion first.
Then he entered the palace to attend the birthday dinner that opened in the afternoon.
The eldest princess sent someone to deliver the message and specifically told her to arrive early.
No one is keeping an eye on Ninth Brother's monkey, so he might cause some trouble.
The eldest princess felt worried and asked Si Fujin to come over early to help.
Saying to help is just an excuse for the eldest princess to want to see Ulanara as soon as possible.
She couldn't go back to Beijing for too long, and she felt close to Si Fujin, but they couldn't talk well during the October festival.
For this reason, Lu Pheasant had no choice but to put aside the matter of Fourth Brother's arrest of Monk Zhu and rush to the eldest princess's residence.
As soon as the eldest princess saw Si Fujin, she took her hand and started walking around the garden without worrying about the banquet.
Now that she's in her position, the only people in the capital who need to be taken seriously are still the three in the palace.
They are the biological father and mother of the eldest princess. Now that they see her, they mostly obey her orders.
"Ninth Disciple has a quick temper, but he is really good at hosting banquets."
Lu Zhi smiled: "Those who are willing to spend money are most suitable for such an occasion."
"You, how can you speak so sharply at such a young age." The eldest princess patted the back of her hand, "Actually, the ninth brother is not just for me, he also wants to take this opportunity to take the tenth brother out to relax. Noble Concubine The empress also hopes that he will not stay in Chengqian Palace all the time. A lively and cheerful child will not even laugh."
No wonder Brother Jiu was so interested this time.
The tenth prince was not in good spirits, so he could refuse the banquet given by the others, but he had to give it to the eldest princess and the ninth prince combined.
"Tenth brother is a good boy. The imperial concubine will gradually get better when the spring comes." Lu Pheasant has not yet visited Chengqian Palace, so he can only talk about the situation at the moment.
The eldest princess looked gloomy: "Originally there were a lot of things going on in Beijing, so I wanted to leave early. Looking at the appearance of the imperial concubine, I'm afraid she will have to spend the New Year in Beijing this year."
Lu Pheasant heard the eldest princess's unfinished thoughts. Historically, Concubine Wen Xi did not survive the winter of this year.
But after her, Kangxi never had another noble concubine in his harem.
Lu Pheasant, who had been thoroughly informed in advance, could probably understand Kangxi's choice.
Hesheli, the former head of Yuan Dynasty, was twenty-two years old and died of dystocia and massive hemorrhage.
The Niu Hulu clan had just been crowned queen, and less than half a year later, at the age of twenty-six, she died without even leaving a child.
Moving on to the third place, the emperor's cousin Tong Jia was originally named a noble concubine at the same time as Niu Hulu. In the future, she only dared to be named an imperial concubine, with the same position as the deputy empress, and actually held palace power, but Kangxi did not dare to do it again. Giving my cousin the title of queen too early.
Even with such care, the imperial concubine Tong Jia only became queen for one day after the emperor raised the flag for her mother's family, and she died before she was thirty-five years old.
Nowadays, Concubine Wen Xi is two years younger than the imperial concubine back then, less than thirty-three years old.
Such a young life was slowly wasted in the Forbidden City.
Even though the emperor did not believe in fate, he did not dare to risk the lives of so many Manchu noblewomen.
As if sensing Lu Zhi's hesitation and intolerance, the eldest princess changed the subject: "Right now, many people in the capital are guessing who will win in the rice dispute. Sifujin, what do you think?"
