Zong Qiongyao's Yongji

Before Qiushou, the palace ushered in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a cloud-moon screen was erected in the east of the imperial garden. The moon is as round as a mirror, and the clouds are as thin as gauze, vividly.On both sides of the screen are cockscombs, edamame branches, taro, peanuts, radishes, and fresh lotus roots.In front of the screen, there is an Eight Immortals table with a large moon cake placed on it, and pastries and fruits are placed around the moon cake as offerings for offering sacrifices to the moon.Worshiping the moon is also very solemn. Since Yongji was reborn, she has believed in ghosts and gods, so she bathed and changed her clothes early and changed into sacrificial attire.

During the moon sacrifice, Qianlong led all civil and military officials to conduct the moon sacrifice. After the moon sacrifice, the members of the royal family would stay to participate in the reunion family banquet.The empress dowager has been in Wutai Mountain this year, and the empress sent mooncakes and other things there a month ago.

Because of the intention of reunion, Little Swallow also sat at Gege's table, and the etiquette was much better during the walk, without other Gege's pleasing to the eye, at least it can be seen.The clan only looked at her for a while, and didn't care too much.Anyway, he is not favored, so why bring it up at this time to make the emperor feel unhappy.

However, it's not that others don't trouble her, so she can avoid mistakes.Little Swallow is not someone who can settle down.Sitting next to her is He Jing, who is Princess Gu Lun who has been honored and favored since she was a child, she simply ignores her, and whispers a few words with He Wan from time to time.She wanted to talk to He Wan, but He Wan just looked at her with a smile and never answered her.She felt bored, so she left the table and went to Yong Qi's side, yelling that it was too boring.At that time, Yongji was holding up the white jade cup to look at the moon: "Third brother, this sweet-scented osmanthus is as amber in color, it looks very good with this white jade cup."

Yongzhang was seated next to Yongji, with a light and gentle smile, and he only cared about serving Yongji's dishes all night.

After hearing what he said, Little Swallow took Yongqi's wine glass to look at it, but ended up pouring Yongxuan's bowl. The sound of the bowl falling to the ground was not loud, but soon the whole imperial garden became quiet.Yongxuan's face was sullen, this kind of thing is very unlucky, and I don't know what Qianlong will think.

"Come here, send Zhugege back to Shufangzhai. You don't have to come out for such a family banquet in the future." Qianlong's face was light, "Let's reward the fourth brother with a pair of luminous cups." Yongxie's face softened, and Yongji handed over the cup The wine passed: "Suppression."

The big mooncakes for offering sacrifices to heaven were cut into small pieces, and each person tasted a little symbolically, as a sign of the "meaning of reunion".

Yongji actually likes to eat mooncakes very much, and the mooncakes in Yuqing Palace come in different styles. Qianlong saw that he really liked it, so he rewarded him with two more imperial chefs.

Yong Xing and Yong Xing went to Yuqing Palace to play, and all the cakes were replaced by moon cakes.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn hunting began in Mulan Paddock. Although a palace was built, Qianlong still brought everyone to live in tents.

In fact, the tent is not bad.Yongji's tent was only slightly smaller than Qianlong's. The low-footed bed was covered with an extremely soft quilt. The quilt was stitched and sewn from unknown fur. It was thin and light, but very warm.

The third elder brother was unable to make the trip due to illness, and the fourth elder brother did not come with some excuse, so the fifth elder brother Yong Qi was next to Yong Ji's tent. Although Yong Xuan was old enough, he was slightly lame and refused to leave the palace.Yong Xing and Yong Xing were still too young, so they didn't come either.He and the prince stayed in Beijing, and the eldest son Yongbi followed.

Although the Mongolian princes came a lot, Yong Ji was cautious in his words and deeds and dared not have anything to do with them.Qianlong was in his prime of life, and it was nothing to him to have certain views on the government, but it was a big heart to extend his hand to Mongolia.

His advantage is that he is young, can afford to wait, and has the patience to wait.

Therefore, when hunting, he only showed a little riding and shooting, showing that he has not lost the true qualities of a Manchu man.He didn't want to be Batulu, and he didn't like this kind of thing very much, but he urged Hailancha to show off a lot and caught Qianlong's eyes.

Yong Qi brought a guard together with his companion, and there was an extra Fucha Haozhen.He was deeply impressed by Prince Shuo's son-in-law, because from the age of 12 to the present age, there was only one thing about him in Beijing: Fucha Haozhen's kind deed of catching the white fox and releasing the white fox.

If it's not that there are too many merits that can be shown, it is not necessary to talk about the 12-year-old thing over and over again.What's more, if you want to publicize your good life virtues but let go of your prey during autumn hunting, autumn hunting is a tradition, and Qianlong likes autumn hunting very much. With such a big publicity in Beijing, Qianlong must not like this Fucha Haozhen very much.No wonder it takes so long for adulthood not to be reused.

Yongji soon lost interest in the fifth elder brother and his party, and turned to look at Duolong who didn't know what he was talking about with Yongbi.Duolong is also well-known among the Eight Banners. Although his reputation is not very good, he is a very righteous person. He has a big social circle and he is very good-tempered with the prince.

Patting the horse's neck, the mount slowly walked towards Yongbi and Duolong. He reached out and touched Yongbi's horse: "Sure enough, it is still suitable for Yongbi."

This horse was rewarded by Qianlong on the day of Yongji's tenth birthday. It is said that it is the king of horses.As a result, his temper was too strong, Yongji didn't like it, and was almost thrown off, so he notified Qianlong and sent Yongbi to him.

No matter how good the thing is, if it hinders the master, it is impossible to have it.

But Yong Bi likes strong horses very much, he has tamed them for a long time without even taking lunch.

"Duolong, I heard that your relationship with Fucha Haozhen is not very good." Yongji lowered her head and fiddled with the reins, her tone casual.

Duolong's face was visibly froze: "Jiuye..."

He combed the horse's mane with his hands: "If it's not good, it's not good. You can still fight in the street and tell me what's going on."

It turned out that it was only for a weak woman.

Duolong and Fucha Haozhen's concubine brother Fucha Haoxiang have a very good relationship. They had lunch together at Longyuan Building that day and were going to listen to a book, but the storyteller turned into a pretty girl who played the pipa. There was an old man who played the huqin.

Anyway, it was for singing, so he went downstairs with his entourage and asked two people to go upstairs to sing some tunes for him and Haoxiang, but they were unwilling, so he felt disappointed and wanted to turn around and go back to have a drink with Haoxiang.Seeing Haozhen, he thought he was also attracted to this girl who sold singing, so he teased a few words, but Haozhen suddenly got into trouble, he didn't react, and was hit on the chin, so he started fighting.

"Jiuye, the slave really just said a few words, didn't even move his hands..." Duolong seemed to be infinitely wronged, Yongji pursed his lips and smiled: "Why, you still feel that you have lost money? Want to make up for it? "

Yong Bi gave Duo Long a look: "How could he have the guts?"

Yongji frowned, he was not very happy when he saw those young but obviously regular Baqi children in the theater last time, and there were also those who fought for women... Baqi really wanted to rectify, let it go on indulgence , isn't it going to rot to the root?

At the end of the autumn hunt, whether true or not, Qianlong and the Mongolian princes appeared to be on good terms.Qianlong's imperial guards were extraordinary in strength and strong intimidation, and the goal of autumn hunting was also achieved.

The next step is to prepare a gift for the Longevity Festival dedicated to Qianlong.

Longevity.longevity.

After Yongji returned to Beijing, she kept running outside the palace, and even reported to Qianlong that she was going out to prepare a birthday gift for him.Treasures in the world were not new to Qianlong, and the gift he wanted to give had to be his heart.In order to surprise Qianlong, every time Yongji went out of the palace, he just asked someone to pick up Qingrong from Zhuangzi every day to accompany him, and then sent Qingrong back.

The autumn hunt was in late August, only one month away from the Longevity Festival, and Yong Ji stayed outside the palace for a month, and always returned to the palace after a stick of incense in front of the key under the palace gate.

The Ministry of Rites has also been busy for a month, and Yongzhang returned to the Ministry of Rites to help when he was in better shape, but he must find time to meet and talk with Yongji every day.

This year's Wanshou Festival is Qianlong's fiftieth birthday. During the day, there are gifts from all over the world. In the evening, there is a private family banquet, which is the gift from the princes and clans to the emperor.

Some gave jade, some calligraphy and painting, some gave birthday curtains, and some gave antiques.Yongzhang's congratulatory gifts are without merit, and Yongxuan's and Yongxuan's are not outstanding either.Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi and several court ladies performed songs and dances.It's very strange, Yong Qi is obviously troubled by the little Yanzi and her favor is not as good as before, but she still wholeheartedly guards the little Yanzi. If it is not a brother and sister, Yongji thinks that Yongqi can do something to accept the little Yanzi.

Not bad, just Na.Although the crown prince doesn't know what Yong Qi thinks, but no matter what, he can't marry Xiao Yanzi as his regular wife.

Yongji was the last one to present the birthday gift.

He saluted Qianlong first, then clapped his hands and asked someone to lift up a screen.At first glance, the screen appears to be nothing more than the word "longevity" written in vermilion on a black background. If you get closer, you can see that the characters on the black background and vermilion are all different characters for longevity. .Although the embroidery is exquisite, it is not unusual.Everyone listened with bated breath to why he gave such a gift.

"The whole world belongs to Huang Ama, and I can't think of anything rare." He smiled a little shyly, "The only thing I can dedicate to Huang Ama is this kind of heart. So this son is outside the palace. A family of 1 people was interviewed, and [-] characters for "shou" were returned, and each character for "shou" is the people wishing the emperor Ama a long life."

He pointed to a birthday character: "The person who wrote the birthday character was an old man surnamed Zhu from the east of the city. He said that in this life, he would not worry about food and clothing or war, and this was brought to them by Huang Ama's sage. He moved his white fingers to the side, rubbing the embroidery thread with his fingertips, "The person who wrote the birthday character was the head of a household surnamed Liang in the south of the city and his son. ...these are the people under Huang Ama's rule, and they are grateful for Huang Ama's benevolence in their hearts, and the words of longevity cannot be more sincere." He lifted his clothes and knelt down, "The prosperity of Huang Ama's rule is like this, son I respectfully wish Huang Ama long live long live, and that the Qing Dynasty will prosper endlessly!"

"Good! Good!" Qianlong got up and helped Yongji up himself, "Your congratulatory gift shows your pure filial piety! Good boy!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the prince, thousand years..." Fu Heng took the lead and knelt down and shouted, Qianlong hugged Yongji's shoulder and laughed like a bell.

On the night of Longevity Day, Yuqing Palace received another bunch of rewards.
