The emperor's eyes were soft and he looked at Concubine Hui: "Your niece is really clever. I look at today's birthday gift and hers is the best."
Concubine Hui replied: "It will make your majesty and empress smile. This girl has been thinking about it for many days."
The emperor smiled and asked: "It's just that I don't understand the mystery. How does this hundred-flower embroidery attract bees and butterflies?"
Concubine Hui pursed her lips and smiled: "Xiuyi, you tell me."
Wen Xiuyi bowed her head and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter may seem strange, but it is actually simple. These bees and butterflies were raised in the greenhouse. My aunt just ordered people to move them back from the greenhouse yesterday. As for the embroidery thread, it was previously in the pollen.
It has been rubbed, so as soon as the painting is unfolded, bees and butterflies will fly over after smelling it."
"That's it! It's wonderful and simple. However, you can come up with this idea, which can be said to be a clever mind. It's rare that you have such thoughtfulness. I would like to thank you on behalf of your concubine. Do you have any wishes?"
This is a reward!
Concubine Hui was so happy that she was about to answer when a sudden voice came out: "Your Majesty, although this birthday gift is interesting, it is too shabby. You want to say that she is the best, but I will not accept it."
When the emperor saw it, it was Yang Shu again.
He said helplessly: "You kid, you say something bad about her, but you should come up with something better!"
An Wang also joined in the fun: "That's right, your big coral is nice to look at, but it's far from interesting."
Yang Shu said: "I don't have it myself, but I know someone is ready!"
"oh?"
The emperor followed his gaze and saw Mingwei beside Mrs. Bolinghou.
He laughed: "I see. Well, if Miss Mingqi has a better birthday gift, how about I reward her as well?"
Yang Shuxi smiled broadly and said, "You are the emperor, and you must speak your words and keep your words."
"Of course."
Mingwei was pushed out by him, what else could he do? He could only come out, give a gift, and said: "Ms. Wen's birthday gift is so unique that I can't compare to it. I don't have her embroidery skills nor her ingenuity."
However, Miss Wen said something that my daughter doesn’t quite agree with."
Wen Xiuyi's eyes flashed and she whispered softly: "I don't know what Xiuyi did wrong. I would like to ask Miss Mingqi for advice."
"I don't dare to give you any advice. It's just that Miss Wen just said that my daughter has a different opinion about Ruixue's loss of color."
Wen Xiuyi showed a puzzled expression.
What's the problem with this sentence? Snow is beautiful, but it's too monotonous. Can she make the snow colorful?
Mingwei reported to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, as you know, my daughter has no other skills. She has only learned mysticism for a few days and knows some minor skills. I may need to use some things. Please allow me."
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "That's right."
Mingwei thanked him and waved to him.
Wan Dabao was stunned and pointed at himself.
Mingwei nodded.
Wan Dabao came over and asked, "What are your orders from Miss Ming Qi?"
He thought to himself, this Miss Mingqi is really brave. She is His Majesty's personal attendant, how can others dare to give instructions? She is not polite at all.
Mingwei leaned over, whispered a few words in his ear, gave him another stack of talisman papers, and finally asked, "Did you hear me clearly, father-in-law?"
Wan Dabao nodded, looked at the emperor with his eyes, and after receiving his consent, he bowed and said, "I will go and prepare now."
Soon, Wan Dabao returned.
"Miss Mingqi, you are ready."
Mingwei nodded and said, "Then let's get started."
"yes."
Wan Dabao gave an order, and the waiter hurriedly went to deliver the message. Everyone heard a dull explosion and looked outside following the sound.
But I saw a firework soar into the air, set off suddenly, paused for a moment, and then dispersed with the wind and snow.
What is this for?
Their eyes all turned to Mingwei.
What's so strange about setting off fireworks? Why do you call Ruixue colorful?
Just as I was thinking this, another firework shot up into the air.
Someone discovered something strange and shouted: "Look! Those snows!"
In mid-air, the flurries of snow were floating in the wind, as if being pulled by fireworks.
One, two, three... As the fireworks set off, the snowflakes became more and more dense.
Another firework flew into the sky, and they finally saw the snowflakes suddenly blooming with the fireworks, turning into flowers.
The fireworks shone on the snow beads, reflecting colorful light, and the dark sky suddenly lit up, colorful and colorful.
This scene made everyone's eyes wide open.
"So beautiful." Princess An exclaimed, "It turns out that snow has so many colors."
The fireworks continue to go off.
Those snowflakes rolled up again and formed new patterns.
At one moment flowers are in full bloom, at another moment magpies are ascending plum blossoms, at another moment auspicious cranes and fairy grass... various auspicious patterns are unfolded one by one.
The last firework is a landscape painting.
Those flying snowflakes also condensed into mountains and rivers.
When the fireworks went out and the colorful light reflected faded, what everyone saw was a painting of thousands of mountains dyed with snow.
At this time, Mingwei replied: "My little girl borrowed the fireworks from the palace to congratulate the Queen on her birthday with a picture of thousands of mountains in auspicious snow."
Concubine Pei was full of admiration and said with a smile: "You are too modest. Is this called a trick? I never knew that snow has so many colors."
Ming Wei smiled and replied: "My little girl is just trying to freeze the snow temporarily. To be honest, it's not worth mentioning. The ones who are really skilled are the craftsmen who make fireworks."
Concubine Pei looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The emperor said: "Although it is a small skill, it shows that I have put my heart into it. I will do what I say. Miss Ming Qi, what do you want? I will satisfy you today."
Mingwei thought for a while and felt a little troubled: "The Holy One really asked my daughter. As for my wish...it is just family reunion and a healthy family. Thanks to the Holy One, my little girl has got everything now. I can't say anything else."
The emperor laughed and said: "You are really embarrassing me. You have no requirements and it is the most difficult to satisfy. I don't know what to reward you."
Yang Shu interjected: "How about your Majesty give her some dowry?"
The emperor laughed: "You kid! Just wait here, right? Did the Imperial Master say you can get married?"
"Well..."
The emperor said: "If you are free, why not take a walk to Xuandu Temple? When your destiny is resolved, it will naturally be as you wish."
Yang Shu looked downcast: "I know."
The emperor looked at Wen Xiuyi again: "Miss Wen, you are also very clever. Since I have said it, I will naturally reward you. If you have any wish, just say it."
Wen Xiuyi was flattered: "Your Majesty, my daughter..."
"Say it!" Concubine Pei said with a smile.
Wen Xiuyi hesitated for a long time, then her heart changed and she knelt down: "I only have one thing on my mind, and I want to ask your Majesty to fulfill it. My aunt has been in poor health recently, and I know that she is thinking about someone. Please have mercy on your Majesty!"
Before she even said her words, many people heard her.
The smile on the emperor's face slowly faded, and he said, "Oh? Let's talk about it."
Wen Xiuyi leaned down and begged: "Your Majesty, please ask my aunt to see my cousin!" (To be continued)
