The son crosses every night

After celebrating the results of the preliminary examination, Tang Hua soon came to the Longevity Festival.

Today, I am diligent and frugal, and the Longevity Festival has never had the intention of holding a big event. If it is not a whole birthday, there will be no banquets, no rituals and music, and I will only take my subordinates and family members to another village for a joy.

The Empress Dowager originally lived in Lingding Peak Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but she came back as the Longevity Festival approached.

In previous years, the empress dowager would not come back specially, but this year when she came suddenly, Jianghua only prepared the gift of the empress, not the empress dowager. After receiving the news, she almost broke out in a cold sweat.

The empress dowager came back at the beginning of the month, and Tang Hua didn't know it at the time, so she sent a tribute to the palace, which was all the filial piety to the empress, especially the empress empress, who spent a lot of money to send a jade necklace to match it. This necklace will cost tens of thousands of silver.

Tang Hua originally wanted to make a name for himself in one fell swoop. The cost of making clothes and necklaces was not considered, and the workmanship was meticulous and slowly honed.

As soon as the Empress Dowager came back, Tang Hua was so anxious that she was sweating. The Empress Dowager was an elder, even if she didn't have enough time to make clothes and jewelry slowly, she had to pay more attention to her filial piety, so as not to lose her etiquette and cause trouble.

Tanghua asked Ruan Shijie for help, and after listening to his advice, the special orderer bought a box of high-quality rubies and pearls with a lot of money, and planned to make another necklace.

These days, Tanghua urged his subordinates to hurry up and work, and he was busy with the exam, and finally passed the exam. Today, the subordinates finally came to report that the mirror had been made.

The mirror is a formula that needs to be kept secret. Tang Hua specially recruited three groups of people, Gu Zhun to burn the glass, and He Zi to make the mirror.

It is not difficult to make a mirror. You only need to melt tin and pour it on smooth marble, then add mercury to form an amalgam, and then put glass on it to form a mirror.

This is also a rare technology that is not difficult for those who meet, but not for those who are difficult.

The craftsmen brought up the mirror, and when the box was opened, the bright mirror reflected the mirror light, which made the room brighter. Tang Hua was overjoyed, and immediately asked Gu Ende to help pass the post asking for a meeting.

Zhu Huat checked and found that there are still people who can burn glass, and there are occasional records in historical books and articles, but glass mirrors are unique to him in the whole country. Even foreigners, there are no related records of mirror making.

Such a good thing is enough to send anywhere, and there is no fear of being late for a good gift. If such a gift is sent, no matter how big a faux pas it is, it should be able to make up for it.

Tang Hua was full of confidence, but who knew that after he handed in the post asking for a meeting, it took some time for the post to reply.

After Enzhun's order to enter the palace came down, Tang Hua changed her clothes, and nervously led someone into the palace with three boxes in their hands.

He is considered to enter the palace quite often, so he has a bit of face, and the process of entering the palace went very smoothly.

When he arrived in the palace, just as the wives came to pay their respects, there were quite a lot of people in the Compassionate Ning Palace, he heard people talking and laughing outside the main hall.

He couldn't help feeling numb.

The eunuch had already passed in the news of his request to see him, and the inside quickly agreed.

Tang Hua went in bravely, and greeted the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager under the watchful eyes of a group of middle-aged and elderly women.The dozen or so girls present all stared at Tang Hua's figure, making him extremely uncomfortable.

After he finished kneeling, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Get up, come closer to me and have a look."

The Empress Dowager looks like a very kind middle-aged woman. Although she is over 50 years old, she is well maintained like a person in her [-]s or [-]s. She has a gentle temperament and a very good appearance.

Tang Hua saw that her words didn't seem to contain disgust, so he calmed down and approached slightly.

The Empress Dowager looked at his face and said with a smile: "What a handsome young man, Ai's family is not often in the imperial capital, and I never thought that such a handsome young man would be born in the imperial capital."

Suddenly someone interrupted, "You don't know that Tang Hua is not only good-looking, but also first-class in talent. He is currently on duty in the household department."

Tang Hua was startled by the sudden appearance of the male voice, looked intently, and found that the fourth prince Gu Ji was also in the Compassion Ning Palace at some time, looking at him with a smile.

Tang Hua glanced at it, and hurriedly withdrew his mind.

"Really?" The Empress Dowager had a better impression of Tang Hua because of these words. After giving her seat, she pulled Tang Hua and said with a smile, "you are young and promising."

The house is full of women, even though these women are from the generation of mothers and grandmothers, Tang Hua is not at ease, his face is always a little red.

Eldest Princess Boning smiled, "He is really a handsome child, and when he blushes, he has the beauty of Xiayin Baiyu."

As soon as she said this, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Tang Hua's face, and Gu Ji's eyes were especially intense.

The empress laughed: "Tanghua is indeed good-looking. It is rare to have such a good-looking son in the family, and it is rare to be so filial. He will share the worries of His Majesty at a young age."

Tang Hua's necklace was probably not given away for nothing, and the atmosphere in the room was better with the queen's protection.

When it came to filial piety, Tang Hua quickly took the opportunity to answer, "Sharing Your Majesty's worries is the duty that ministers should do."

"That's a good statement." The queen mother agreed, "If everyone thinks so, the country will not be afraid of prosperity."

Tang Hua hurriedly said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compliment."

"They are all from my own family, why are you so unfamiliar, you just call the emperor's grandmother along with Gu Ji." The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "I don't know what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Tang Hua followed the ladder and said, "Someone under my command has made new silk cloth. I heard that the imperial grandmother is back, so I asked them to hurry up and make clothes to honor the imperial grandmother."

"Oh? Is that your Xiangyun yarn?"

"Exactly."

"The Ai family heard about it outside, but you have to take a good look." The Queen Mother asked: "Did you bring in the fabric this time?"

"Returning to the emperor's grandmother, it's not the cloth, but the clothes."

The queen mother became more and more curious, "Why did you still make clothes? Show them up and have a look."

"Yes."

With permission, the eunuchs hurriedly presented the casket they had been holding, and the eunuch next to the queen mother opened the casket.

The first box contained folded clothes.

The set of clothes that Tanghua designed for the Queen Mother was made of dark Rui pattern, and the waist was slightly narrowed, the chest was widened, and the waistline was raised.

This set of clothes is more exquisite than the one made for the emperor. Except for the dark pattern covered with gold leaf, all the buttons on the clothes are made of black jade inlaid with gold pinch.

Grandpa Bo Ning smiled when he saw it, "The clothes are beautiful, and Tanghua really lives up to its reputation. There are always some ingenious ideas. Queen Mother, hurry up and try it."

The queen mother also laughed, "The clothes are really well made."

Tang Hua hurriedly said: "There is also a set of jewelry at the back, which can match this set of clothes, look at the emperor's grandmother."

The eunuch brought up the second box, which contained a set of ruby ​​heads.

It is rare to have such a ruby ​​in the capital. It contains a whole set of face, the ruby ​​is as red as blood, as moist as jade, each grain is beautiful and majestic.

In this set of rubies, the largest is the necklace with pearls and rubies, followed by the hairpin, and the bracelet is the baguette.

The Queen Mother fell in love with this set of jewelry at the first glance, and couldn't help admiring, "Sure enough, this gem is really unique."

Princess Bo Ning smiled and said: "Emperor's sister-in-law also has a set, and she is also a filial piety, but it is different from yours. You should be more graceful and look good. Queen Mother, otherwise you will wear it in your clothes." Shall we open our eyes?"

Mrs. Jiang Zehou, who was able to talk in front of the queen mother, laughed and said, "The little general presented this clothes for some reason. The servants saw that the clothes were quite different from other clothes."

Gu Ji interjected, "It's not the same, this dress is waist-tucked."

The queen mother was aroused by curiosity, and she glanced at her grandson, "You know this?"

Gu Ji smiled, "Grandmother, your figure is there, and the clothes are slightly drawn at the waist at first glance. If you don't believe me, just try it and you will know."

There was nothing left and right, the queen mother was instigated to become curious, and she was a little moved immediately, but she was not very embarrassed, she glanced at the smiling wives in the room, and said in her heart, "Doesn't Wanning have another way? You go and wear it together, we mother and daughter will try it together."

The queen responded with a smile, and said gently: "Then the concubine will go and change it, and come back later."

"You hurry up."

As the queen mother said, she ordered the palace servants to carry the casket and go to the back to change clothes, leaving Princess Bo Ning to entertain the guests.

Princess Boning is a lively character, with her, the atmosphere will never be cold.

Tang Hua sat among a large group of girls, listening to them asking questions from time to time, feeling embarrassed, so he could only answer honestly with his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart. From time to time, the girls next to him laughed, and the tips of their ears became redder.

Gu Ji smiled and said, "Don't tease him, Auntie. If you tease me again, he will have to find a hole in the ground."

Princess Bo Ning laughed a few times, "How could it be? I think Tang Hua is the best. If this princess has children and grandchildren like this, she will wake up laughing from her dreams."

Tang Hua said: "Brother Chongliang can learn everything about cultural relics, much better than Xiaochen."

Mu Chongliang is Princess Boning's youngest son, and she is the most fond of her. Hearing what Tanghua said, Princess Boning's mood became better, and she couldn't help laughing, "This mouth is sweet."

A woman next to her answered, "Young General's words are true. Who in the whole emperor doesn't know your family's great future?"

The wives quickly shifted the topic to which family's children in the imperial capital are going to be successful, enjoying themselves for a while.

Soon, there was movement outside, and everyone got up to greet her, and it was indeed the Queen Mother who came in.

She is tall and slender, and the clothes with pinched waist and high waistline make her look slimmer. She is in her sixties, and she looks like she is in her thirties from a distance.

The black and gold-sprinkled dark-rui pattern clothes set off her fair and delicate skin, which is very different from the past.

She didn't wear any other jewellery, only the set of Zonghua's jewellery, which wasn't too much.

Different from people at the time who liked the appearance of a head full of jewels and emeralds, this set of jewelry hairpins presented by Tanghua has only two handles, which are inserted between the black hair and serve as the finishing touch.

There are not many head accessories, but the necklace is a rare large piece of jewelry. Usually, no one has such a big necklace. At most, a young woman wears a wreath, but this unique necklace has attracted everyone's attention.

Such a necklace makes everyone's eyes focus on the Queen Mother's neck. Wearing the necklace, her neck is lined up more and more slender. Compared with the other people who are full of jewels and emeralds, the necklace makes the center of gravity shift down and is no longer top-heavy. feel.

Even if they are used to seeing good things, everyone's eyes can't help but be amazed. Although this thing is good, the producer's thought is even more ingenious. A set of clothes and jewelry can make people look completely different.

Eldest Princess Boning sighed half sincerely and half flatteringly: "The queen mother's clothes look like the queen mother in the sky."

The Empress Dowager was in a very good mood, but she still smiled and said, "How can you be so exaggerated? What about Wanning? What happened to her clothes?"

Just as she was talking, there was another commotion outside, and the woman smiled and replied, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is here."

"Hey? Pass it on!"
