What Shen Huan is holding is the jade Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi, which is carved from brown-red agate. The handle is engraved with various patterns, with white jade as flowers, gold wire as the core, inlaid with flowers, leaves, butterflies, etc. It means good luck, longevity, and prosperous descendants.
Today happens to be Di Ji's birthday again, so this capture has some meaning.
Xichen looked back and saw the warmth in Shen Huan's eyes. It was the peace she had not seen for a long time, and she felt comfortable in her heart. Then she thought that she had not given the title to the Emperor Ji. Although her birth mother status was not high, she was still hers. The daughter then said softly to Cao Ronghua: "Since today is Di Ji's birthday, why not give her a title and a name!"
Cao Ronghua never expected to receive this honor, so he hurriedly knelt down to thank him. Shen Huan took the opportunity to hand Ruyi into Di Ji's hands and smiled gently at her.
Xichen pondered for a moment and then said: "Di Ji's title starts with the word '和', and this child's title is He Yu. As for the name, let's call her Ruyi."
Xiao Shizi next to him immediately went to convey the decree. The emperor's daughter without a title could only be called the emperor's concubine. After having the title, she would be a princess who entered the ancestral temple.
Cao Ronghua thanked Cao Ronghua again, and Concubine Qing and others congratulated each other, and ordered people to send more gifts, but I didn't know how many of them were sincere.
Halfway through the banquet, Cao Ronghua leaned forward and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for your kindness. I have nothing to repay. However, I recently heard a new song, which was like the sound of nature. I wonder if the Emperor is interested in it?"
There was a slight smile on Shen Huan's lips, and Xichen said nonchalantly: "Okay."
Cao Ronghua walked to the window and clapped his hands twice outside.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounds, and a breeze blows. From far to near, there is a little faint sound. The singing is soft and graceful, caught in the cool breeze, it is a little trance, but if you listen carefully, it is like an oriole coming out of the valley, which is touching.
The song gradually approached, and everyone looked out the window at the apricot blossom tree. Under the tree was a young woman wearing a light pink gauze dress. The woman had a graceful face and a slim figure. The gauze dress swayed in the wind like a butterfly fluttering its wings, with patches of apricots. Flower petals were scattered on her cloud-like hair, and she didn't even notice it, she just sang passionately
"Butterflies are lazy and warblers are lazy. Halfway through spring, the flowers are falling in the strong wind. The small courtyard is full of red at noon. Drunk yet to wake up. The sun is red and the evening is dark. There is no one behind the curtains at dusk. The clouds roll around. The hair on the temples is pine-browed and the eyebrows are light. I am always worried about the matchmaker. Who am I trying to complain to for entertainment? I don’t believe it. It’s hard to relate. Trip, Yanghua still has the east wind pipe"
This is Su Shi's "Butterfly Loves Flowers", but it is not one of the most popular songs handed down from generation to generation. Cao Ronghua listened with a smile, Xia Zhaoyi and Fang Jieyu were also fascinated by it, but Concubine Qing's eyes wanted to spit out fire.
Xichen was startled when he heard this, and was startled again when he saw the woman's appearance. Seeing that everyone was entranced, he glanced at Shen Huan quietly, and saw a smile on her lips, her eyes slanted towards Concubine Qing, and her eyes flashed away.
Not only did I understand it in my heart, but I also had an idea
When the woman finished singing, Xichen smiled while stroking her palms
Cao Ronghua saluted and said: "I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xichen smiled and said: "I can't appreciate such a beautiful song, so how can I punish you? Please come over and sit down with me!"
That's right, the person singing was none other than Concubine Li, who was drugged by Concubine Qing and nearly lost her voice!
Concubine Li walked up to the emperor and saluted the emperor first. When she stood up, she caught sight of Shen Huan from the corner of her eyes. The two of them exchanged glances before saluting everyone at the table. When they passed by Concubine Qing's face, she saw that Concubine Qing was still looking at her with anger. She couldn't help but feel happy
"Li Bin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder how you are doing?"
Concubine Li nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. I also want to thank Sister Ronghua for taking care of me."
Upon hearing this, Xichen looked at Cao Ronghua and comforted: "I knew you were a hard-working and virtuous person. Since Princess Heyu has been canonized today, the status of your biological mother cannot be too low. Why not rise one level and be promoted Name her Jieyu!"
Cao Ronghua was a little surprised by this unexpected surprise, but he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"
Li Bin smiled and congratulated: "Sister, I am very happy."
Xichen smiled again and said, "How could I know that you are not happy? Concubine Li is beautiful in appearance and gentle in temperament. She was given the title of Wanyi by the Jin Dynasty."
Concubine Li was moved and smiled, and she knelt down to thank her. There seemed to be tears in her voice.
After sitting down, they exchanged glasses of wine. Shen Huan looked at all this with cold eyes. Concubine Qing could only swallow it after she broke her silver teeth. Li Wanyi would look at her from time to time. Xia Zhaoyi remained indifferent. Fang Jieyu was nothing at first, but Cao Cao Jieyu was actually on the same level as her, she looked very unhappy.
After the banquet, everyone returned to the palace
Xichen was slightly drunk, and the people in the palace were waiting for him to change clothes. He waved his hand and asked them to leave, leaving only Shen Huan.
"Did it go as you wanted today?" He went over to hold Shen Huan's hand and asked with a smile.
Shen Huan lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful.
Xichen held her in his arms, and she instinctively turned her face away, exposing the fine, white and tender hair on her neck. Xichen breathed harder, lowered his head and pecked her, and while sucking gently, he whispered: "Look at my woman's fighting skills, isn't she very good?" interesting?"
Shen Huan only felt numbness in her neck, tilted her head and shrank her body.
Xichen laughed softly, and the sound seemed to turn into a lingering whisper in his ears.
Shen Wen pushed him away and he fell on the soft bed. Shen Wen didn't care about pleading guilty and ran away in a panic.
His teasing laughter came from behind, and Shen Huan glared at the oncoming pebbles angrily.
Xiao Shizi's face was filled with grievances, and he was wondering why Shen Huan's face was so red.
