Chapter 211 Birthday Red
"Wow!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, staring curiously at the parrot on Yuan Ziyu's wrist.
A smile appeared on the corner of Huo Xifei's lips. When Yuan Ziyu told him not to worry the other day, he knew that Yuan Ziyu would definitely have a way to deal with it, but he didn't expect it to be so surprising and delightful.
Yuan Ziyu specially asked Qingying to buy this parrot. Parrots are smart to begin with, and after being fed with spiritual spring water, they become even more clever and lovable. Yuan Ziyu also taught the parrot some auspicious and lovable words.
Before entering the palace, Yuan Ziyu took the parrot into the Qiongjiang Pavilion. Now the parrot had just come out of the Qiongjiang Pavilion. Seeing the unfamiliar environment and the large crowd, it did not fly around in a panic. It just stayed obediently on Yuan Ziyu's wrist, looking left and right, with a cleverness in its eyes that was really pleasing to the eye.
The Queen Mother was a Buddhist and had always been kind-hearted. She was already delighted to see the parrot, and when she saw how well-behaved and clever it was, she fell in love with it even more. "Girl from the Yuan family, what's the name of this parrot?"
"Give me a name, give me a name, Your Majesty, give me a name!" The parrot tilted its little head and blinked at the Queen Mother. A clear voice came out clearly from the parrot's mouth.
"Oh my!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh: "This little guy doesn't even have a name yet?"
"That's right, Queen Mother!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "Please give me a name, Queen Mother!"
"Give it a name! Give it a name!" The parrot jumped twice on Yuan Ziyu's wrist and said crisply.
That clever and playful look made Emperor Wen of Qi laugh and said, "What a clever little fellow indeed. Mother, please give this little fellow a name!"
"Good! Good! Good!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, squinting her eyes and saying three good words in a row. Then she thought carefully and said with a smile: "Let's call him Shouxi!"
"From now on, your name will be Shouxi!" Yuan Ziyu said to the parrot with a smile.
The parrot was very intelligent, and its clear voice was filled with joy: "Happy birthday, happy birthday!"
"Oh, what a smart boy! He knows his own name!" The Queen Mother laughed heartily.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and stretched out his arm, saying, "Shouxi, go to the Queen Mother!"
So, in full view of everyone, Suki spread his wings and flew towards the Queen Mother.
The eunuchs and maids around the Queen Mother panicked for a moment and hurried forward to protect her. The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Everyone, step back. It's okay!"
After saying that, the empress dowager also imitated Yuan Ziyu and raised one hand, and the Sukiyomi landed on the empress dowager's wrist.
Shouxi landed on the Queen Mother's wrist and flapped his wings. A clear voice echoed in the hall: "Good luck to the Queen Mother, good luck to the Queen Mother!"
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, he continued, "I wish the Queen Mother happiness as vast as the flowing waters of the East Sea, and a long life as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains!"
The tone is regular and every word is clear.
Everyone in the hall, except Yuan Ziyu, opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
This parrot is simply a spirit!
"Your Majesty!" Prince Kang stood up and said to Emperor Wen of Qi with a smile, "This parrot is so clever and intelligent. He spoke auspicious words to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday, and he spoke them so smoothly and properly. This is a good omen for our Dali period!"
Emperor Wen of Qi thought carefully about what he had said, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Prince Kang was right. Although parrots have been able to speak human language since ancient times, they are still animals. How can they speak as clearly and fluently as humans? And now, even if Yuan Ziyu had taught him in advance, it is extremely rare for Shouxi to speak so clearly and fluently.
Isn’t it a good omen for the Dali Dynasty that such an auspicious bird appeared at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet?
"Hahaha!" Emperor Wen of Qi laughed heartily, "Second brother, you are absolutely right!"
The Queen Mother teased Shouxi and smiled happily: "Not bad, not bad, this birthday gift is very pleasing to me. Yuan family girl, you are very good, Suyin, give me a reward!"
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Suyin bowed with a smile, then took out a set of pink crystal headwear and presented it to Yuan Ziyu.
"Your servant thanks the Queen Mother for the reward!" Yuan Ziyu hurriedly took the headdress and thanked her for the reward with a smile.
"Yuan Ziyu, do you have any other interesting tricks?" Emperor Wen of Qi seemed to be still unsatisfied and asked with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and handed the newly acquired headpiece to Huo Wan, who was walking over, and asked her to take it back. Then she said with a smile, "Your servant has a bouquet of flowers to present to the Queen Mother!"
Flowers!
Everyone was shocked again and looked at Yuan Ziyu's sleeves in surprise. There was a parrot hidden in his sleeves, so how could there be a bunch of flowers hidden in it?
"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked extremely interested and said with a smile, "What flowers are these? Bring them here quickly!"
The Empress Dowager was also a flower lover. There were porcelain vases everywhere in her bedroom, filled with various broken fresh flowers.
"Please look, Your Majesty!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and held the brocade in her hands again to cover the wide cuffs. Then she shook it quickly. When she took the brocade off, Yuan Ziyu's hands were filled with flowers, and it turned out to be a bunch of elegant and beautiful longevity red!
"Oh, this is Longevity Red!" Someone who knew flowers exclaimed in surprise!
"Oh my god, it's Longevity Red!" Someone else exclaimed in surprise, "How could the second daughter of the Yuan family actually grow Longevity Red?"
You should know that longevity red is extremely difficult to cultivate and is not often seen. If you can offer a bunch of longevity red on your birthday, it means that the person celebrating his birthday will live a long and happy life.
This is a very auspicious meaning.
Yuan Ziyou respectfully held the longevity red to the empress dowager: "Your servant wishes the empress dowager a long and blessed life!"
"Haha, good, good, girl from the Yuan family, your birthday gift today is very much to my liking!" The empress dowager's face was flushed with joy. On her birthday, she was able to receive the birthday red, which was a great blessing.
Just think about it, who doesn't want to live a long life? What's more, she is now the empress dowager. Even the emperor has to obey her. She can be said to be the most noble woman in the world. How could she be willing to give up all this?
Yuan Ziyu's bouquet of red birthday red really touched the heart of the Empress Dowager!
Suyin naturally knew what the Queen Mother meant, so she hurried over to take the bouquet of birthday red and held it in front of the Queen Mother.
"Send it back quickly and find a jade bottle to preserve this longevity red!" The Queen Mother ordered hurriedly, fearing that if she was a moment late, the longevity red would wither.
When the birthday red appeared, both the empress dowager and Emperor Wen of Qi were very happy. Therefore, in front of everyone in the hall, Yuan Ziyu received a lot of rewards, which made Miao Yin and others' eyes red with jealousy.
Originally, he had intended to make Yuan Ziyu look bad in the hall and end the Queen Mother's love for Yuan Ziyu. However, he had actually ended up making things worse. Now it seems that the Queen Mother's love for Yuan Ziyu is not just love, it's doting on her!
This is simply...shooting oneself in the foot!
