The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 71
This time Xie Xi didn't jump into the pond again, he came and went without a trace, and no one was alarmed.

Lin Zisu fell into insomnia.

I thought Xie Xi was just an absurd prince, but after making a deal with him, they broke up.He continued to be his prince, and he was still the little girl Lin.

But after learning that the person to be treated was the emperor, Lin Zisu retreated.

Xie Xi showed that he had a lot of plots, and in order to protect himself, he was unwilling to disguise the absurdity any longer.

From the beginning, he has always had a sober judgment on the situation.He has a good grasp of when to be unrestrained and when to mess around.

From what we know now, if the emperor was poisoned, then the person who poisoned him was most likely King Wei.

King Wei is the emperor's younger brother, no matter what the purpose is, no one can say clearly what the consequences will be if he rashly gets involved.

It was late at night, the new moon had already sunk into the night, and the night sky was pitch black.

"Sister, come and see the seven-wheel fan I made, it's done!" Lin Zisu was called to Tiangongyuan by Lin Wenjing early in the morning.

Lin Wen asked Jing Hun if he didn't pay attention to his sister's sleepy face, and said excitedly: "A few days ago, when I passed by Lexing, I bought some python skins, which are suitable for making fan leaves."

When the machine was started, it was indeed a strong wind, blowing away the cool morning wind.

Lin Zisu jerked up suddenly, and woke up from the chaos in an instant, and then pulled back the idea of ​​fugue.

Brother's seven-wheel fan is really exquisite, the axles snap together very lightly, and the blades rotate without any sound, it is much more exquisite than the hydraulic seven-wheel fan in Luo's mansion.

Such a good utensil, but its appearance is bare, and the knots and scars of the wood can be seen everywhere.

Lin Zisu felt it was a pity, and said, "This seven-wheel fan, let me draw a picture on it."

Lin Wenjing felt that Lin Zisu's idea was very good, so he nodded in agreement immediately.When the two brothers and sisters ate, they all had smiles on their faces. When Mrs. Bi asked what happened, Lin Zisu explained in detail the seven-wheel fan made by Lin Wenjing.

Mrs. Bi was both surprised and delighted. After dinner, she went to Tiangongyuan to find out what happened. The servants of the Kangningbo Mansion also knew that their young master had invented a rare gadget, and they gathered in Tiangongyuan one after another. Onlookers.

Lin Zisu didn't stay in the Tiangongyuan for too long. The Longevity Day gift chosen by Mrs. Bi for the emperor was delivered to the mansion. At this time, she was in the warehouse, reviewing the gifts for Mr. Bi.

It is necessary to pay attention to preparing gifts for the emperor on the Longevity Day. If something goes wrong if you are careless, it will be disrespectful.

This year is the emperor's [-]th birthday, so it is naturally very different from previous years. The things that can be given in previous years have to be improved this year.

For example, usually the emperor's birthday, the internal officials can enter Dongzhu, but this year, they need to enter Hepuzhu.

Bi Shi obviously never thought about the emperor's preferences, nor did he think about taboos.How to prepare in previous years, this year we will take the medicine according to the order. Even if Lin Zisu made a suggestion at the beginning, the congratulatory gifts prepared by Mrs. Bi are only slightly better than in previous years.

Lin Zisu carefully inspected several gifts, and what Bi chose was a white jade carving of Hetian mutton fat that "cranes and deer are in the same spring".The crane is a fairy bird, the deer is an auspicious animal, the sage comes out, and the white deer appears. The meaning of this jade carving is naturally excellent.

But the material of this piece of jade in Kang Ningbo's mansion is a bit inferior, the water head is not enough, and the oiliness is not enough. If you look carefully, you can still see the flocculent impurities in the material.

In the mother's eyes, such things are considered treasures, but in the eyes of the palace, they definitely look down on such objects.

If the emperor sees this kind of jade, how would the emperor feel about his father?
Lin Zisu tried her best to use a calm tone, and told her mother about the taboos, but Bi was confused. It was clearly the same thing. In the eyes of her daughter, why was there such a big gap?
When Mrs. Bi went out to choose gifts that day, she happened to meet Mrs. Huang. Hearing that Mrs. Huang was picking a gift for the Longevity Festival, she volunteered to go with Mrs. Bi.

Mrs. Bi thought that her sister-in-law came from a merchant, so she must know these valuable objects, so she didn't think much, and took Mrs. Huang to go there together.

It is rare for the Bi family to make a big deal, and spent 500 yuan to select a piece of seed jade, and sent it to the jade shop for processing.

Unexpectedly, the things that have been chosen by thousands of people have become money-losing goods that cannot be sold in the mouth of the daughter.

Mrs. Bi was a little regretful, she shouldn't have listened to Mrs. Huang's words.I should have thought a long time ago that my daughter is possessed by a queen, she must have seen many treasures, why bother to look for Huang Shi?

There are only a few days until Longevity Day, and it is too late to prepare gifts now.

In addition to this piece of jade carving, there are also some trinkets such as Yu Ruyi, calligraphy and paintings, those calligraphy and paintings are all fancy meanings, regardless of the value, there are a few so-called masterpieces that can be seen as fakes at a glance.

"Mother, I have an idea here. Instead of presenting these things, it's better to dedicate the seven-wheel fan made by my brother to the emperor."

Mrs. Bi frowned, and immediately objected: "I've seen that fan made by your brother, it's really shabby, such a gift can't be offered."

Lin Zisu said with a smile: "When it comes to the value of gifts, our family can't compare with others, so we have to find another way. The emperor is rich all over the world, and he has probably seen some strange things. What we can move our minds is nothing more than new, strange, and special. "

Bi Shi remained unmoved, shook his head and said: "This is a big matter, I have to discuss it with your father."

At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Bi spoke out about the current situation and Lin Zisu's thoughts in front of Lin Yuanzhi.

Lin Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, but he smiled with his beard and said, "Elder sister is ingenious, but she can win with a clever word. But can the things made by Brother Jing be handy?"

With the experience of the Wanshou Banquet, Lin Zisu still has some confidence in the emperor. Her own paintings and her brother's craftsmanship should be fine, right?
That night, Lin Yuanzhi took advantage of the darkness to go to Tiangongyuan to see the seven-wheel fan made by his son. He was full of praise and said: "Brother Jing, the seven-wheel fan you made is really wonderful. I'm going after your grandfather."

Uncomfortableness flashed across Bi's face. The Bi family came from a craftsman family and had been excluded for generations.

It's rare that her father, Bi Suinan, made a name for himself by studying, and now he is the magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture.His father also worked as a craftsman when he was young, and Mrs. Bi was very concerned about his father's experience.

Hearing her husband rashly mentioning it, Mrs. Bi was a little annoyed, and said: "Brother Jing, everything is low-grade, only if you study well, and only if you get a good name in the exam, you will be considered a bright future."

That's not what my mother said in the past!
Lin Wenjing nodded his head half-understood, but Lin Yuanzhi didn't pay much attention, and said, "Your mother is right, such wonderful things should only be used for figuring things out, and you must never lose your mind by playing with them."
