Chapter 256: The ancients are so good at playing

The man twitched his lips, and said quietly: "There is no distinction between men and women in chess, and only chess skills can be compared. It has nothing to do with Lianxiangxiyu."
"Yes, yes, everything you say is right." Ruoyin cleaned up the chessboard perfunctorily.
After a cup of tea, Ruoyin waited for the Fourth Master to change clothes.
She blew out the candles and lay down both when they were both wearing only their shirts.
As soon as he lay down, the man's sturdy body was pressed up, as if to insert her into his body.
"Don't move, give your father a character," he said dumbly.
So, in order to realize the great plan of getting a girl at an early date, the Fourth Master worked hard until late at night...
------
In the next few days, Ruoyin prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday.
The best carpenter in Beijing was hired to order something specially.
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, she took the prepared gifts and followed the Fourth Master into the palace.
Because it was too cold and it was snowing again, Ruoyin put Hongyi in the house, and thanked the grandmother and the nurse to take care of him.
After arriving at the Ciren Palace, Ruoyin heard lively voices and laughter as soon as he entered the hall.
Looking up, Kangxi and the Queen Mother were already sitting on top.
Although the queen mother is not Kangxi's biological mother, in Kangxi's eyes, she is better than her biological mother.
When he was two years old, his biological mother died early.
He was the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and she grew up with her.
Later, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, and the only elders closest to him were the queen mother.
The key to the queen mother is the Mongolian people on the Horqin grassland, who is open-minded.
I never interfere with the regime just because I am a queen mother.
On the contrary, she eats and drinks every day for fun.
There are several batches of the prince and Grid who grew up under her.
She often travels to various places, so she is so happy.
Precisely because of this, coupled with her childhood teachings, Kangxi respected her very much, and basically responded to her requests.
At this time, long black lacquered cases were all over the sides, and many elder brothers and couples and concubines had already been seated.
The appearance of handsome men and beautiful women is always eye-catching.
As soon as Siye and Ruoyin entered the hall, they attracted the attention of many people.
Fortunately, Ruoyin and Si Ye have high-key appearances, but they are low-key.
After the two entered the hall, they bowed to Kangxi and the Queen Mother and took a seat on the side.
Since the Queen Mother does not live a full life, there will be no officials on this birthday, only members of the royal family.
After a while, Kangxi took the lead in presenting gifts to the Queen Mother.
Ruoyin watched, everything was extremely valuable.
From hairpins to hairpins, from bracelets to armor, and even food, and all kinds of silk and satin worn on the body.
It's dazzling.
Then, the princes followed closely, offering gifts.
The same is also very valuable.
Finally, it is time for the women to present their gifts.
The first is the gift of concubines.
Then the prince Fujinli, the first to bear the brunt was Princess Zhijun, "Old ancestor, this is the longevity sheet that my grandson-in-law embroidered a few months ago."
If the sound was heard, the spirit came.
I saw the maids holding the sheets folded like tofu, unfolding little by little.
The last thing that appeared in front of everyone was a deep red quilt, which was embroidered with various patterns with gold thread, and the golden birthday character.
Seeing Ruoyin was stunned, she embroidered a small thing, all crooked, ancient people can play so well.
In this comparison, those embroidered handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs, as well as purses, are all insignificant in front of this sheet.
"You are too careful." The queen mother said with a smile, but there was a slight distance in her eyes.
"Respect the old ancestors, the grandson and daughter-in-law should do it." After Princess Zhijun said, she retreated and sat down.
"Oh, sister-in-law, it's a coincidence this year, I embroidered quilts too." The princess smiled and walked to the middle to salute.
Then, there was a group of court ladies, unfolding them holding sheets that were also folded into tofu.
Ruoyin glanced at Princess Naojun, and there was a faint smell of embarrassment similar to Zhuangshan in the air.
I saw that the princess was right, and the gifts of the two were similar.
The background color of King Zhijun is deep red.
The crown of the princess is red.
Moreover, the princess's bed linen looks very smooth and silky.
The four corners are embroidered with classic borders with gold and silver threads.
In the middle, gold and silver threads are used, as well as a variety of colored threads, embroidered with various patterns of Fushou.
"Old ancestor, this is a complete brocade quilt made by grand-daughter-in-law using fine silkworm silk for longevity. It covers the body and has the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer." The princess said proudly.
Upon seeing this, Princess Naojun looked embarrassed.
The smiling face of King Zhijun collapsed in an instant.
Kangxi came to accompany the Queen Mother today, he did not speak, and gave the Queen Mother the right to speak.
The queen mother stretched her neck and looked at it carefully, and said with certainty: "Well, this has a good meaning, you are interested."
After the prince, according to seniority, it is Sanfujin.
"My grand-daughter-in-law was lucky enough to get a piece of precious jade, so she went to a craftsman in the capital to specially create a pair of Jingfu long hairpins." Sanfu Jin said.
Ruoyin breathed a sigh of relief when it was heard that it was Jingfu's long hairpin.
She thought she was going to hit a gift with Sanfujin.
However, how did she see the rare sensibility from Sanfujin's face?
Doesn't this person seem to be tricky, like to make troubles, is it not pleasing to see her?
As a result, Sanfujin seemed to know that she was paying attention, and smiled slightly at her.
With a smile, Ruoyin returned a perfunctory smile, then withdrew his eyes, not even hearing what the Queen Mother said.
She only heard the third master on the side teaching the fourth master: "Fourth, see you, woman, if you are not obedient, you will have to cold her severely. Look at your third wife, are you submissive now? Will stab people everywhere."
The fourth master sipped his tea lightly without speaking.
But Ruoyin's mouth twitched. Third Master, please don't teach Fourth Master, her house is already cold enough for Fourth Master, no need to be cold anymore.
If she knew that it was the third master who was first taught by the fourth master, she might vomit blood on the spot...
Just when Ruoyin was startled, someone bumped her with an elbow: "Fourth siblings, it's your turn."
Ruoyin returned to her senses and found that it was Sanfujin who reminded her.
Then he smiled slightly, meaning to be polite.
Then, she motioned to Mother Liu and walked to the center of the hall.
First, she smiled brightly at the Queen Mother, and said: "The gifts prepared by the ancestors and grand-daughter-in-law are relatively ordinary, but you shouldn't have seen them."
As soon as the voice fell, Mother Liu and Qiaofeng carried a wooden bucket in.
The wooden barrel is as Ruoyin said, ordinary, and relatively small, with traditional Chinese characters for life engraved on the edge.
All of a sudden, those concubines who watched the excitement and troubles started to chat.
"What is this, it's not as big as the tub I take in."
"Yes, when the foot basin is still about the same."
"Cut, I don't even want to give this kind of foot basin made of the lowest grade fir." It was Jiufujin who said this.
