Chapter 53: The Golden Nobleman
At the Chinese New Year's Eve feast, the shadows of the cups, the intertwining of cups, the laughter of men and the aroma of women were baked by the warm pots scattered in the hall, and the warmth was harmonious.
Today's seating arrangement has raised the three thrones of His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Empress, and Qin Yunyi is still sitting first on the left, but the distance from His Majesty is far away, and the Queen Mother is sitting on His Majesty's left, resting between His Majesty and Qin Yunyi, and it is difficult to even make eye contact.
Qin Yunyi just had to interact with His Majesty without worry, holding a wine glass and enjoying the singing and dancing, which was quite interesting.
After a group dance, the fish came out, and four big men carried a wooden board and danced into the hall, on the wooden board was a gorgeous velvet carpet wrapped in a barrel, and the people in the hall turned their heads and guessed what kind of program this was.
"It looks like there's a person wrapped in it?" Concubine Jia said, sitting beside Qin Yunyi.
The music turned into a simple drum beat, knock-knock-knock - four big men walked to the middle of the hall and stood still, and a palace maid stepped forward and tied the red silk to the velvet blanket,
The long silk was dragged to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, please." ”
"What is this?" Qi Zongwen took the silk with interest.
"Your Majesty will know what it is?" said the queen with a smile.
Qi Zongwen exerted a force, the velvet blanket on the wooden board rolled away, and there was a graceful body lying in the middle, rising with the sound of drums, arms like vines, soft waists, enchanting dancing up, peach-red pockets, small shirts made of silver yarn, shining in the light, and when you look closely, you seem to be able to see a white jade-like body.
It's Lu Feilu, and the people who look at it are itchy.
The hair hung down like a waterfall on the back of the head, and when it swirled, it fluttered, and the wrists and ankles were wrapped around the golden bells, and they danced and jingled.
Or barefoot.
The veil covered half of his face, his eyes were red, and when he turned in a circle, his eyes were firmly fixed on His Majesty, who was sitting on the top seat.
"That seems to be a Jin nobleman?" Concubine Jia lowered her voice and said to Qin Yunyi again, and there were also sharp eyes at the banquet who found that the dancer was a Jin nobleman, which immediately caused a small commotion.
Qin Yunyi turned his head to look at Qi Zongwen, the amazement in his eyes was obvious, with a smile on his lips, Qin Yunyi turned his head back, looked at the wine glass in front of him, and smiled, "Jin Guiren's trick is not bad." "At least it will be useful for Your Majesty.
Qi Zongwen retracted his intently eyes and coughed, picked up the wine glass, glanced at Qin Yunyi, and saw that she was talking to Concubine Jia with a smile, and did not look at him, so he was relieved.
The Empress smiled and said to His Majesty, "A few days ago, the noble Jin wanted to dance on Chinese New Year's Eve to dedicate to His Majesty, and the concubine thought that it was also her heart, so she agreed. ”
"Like her good aunt, she was flattering, unruly, and undecent. The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
Qi Zongwen raised his head and said, "Let's watch the dance well." ”
After the dance, Jin Guiren gasped and knelt down to salute, and the queen saw that His Majesty did not say anything, so she said, "Fortunately, look at the reward." ”
Not being stopped by His Majesty, Jin Guiren was a little disappointed, but he still kept his expression and left the hall.
On the first day of Chinese New Year's Eve, His Majesty is to abstain.
The first two nights are in Ronghua Palace.
The third junior summoned the Jin nobleman into the Tianqing Palace to serve, and Qi Fengwen looked at the Jin nobleman kneeling below, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, you are not so timid. ”
Jin Guiren raised his eyes to look at His Majesty, "The concubine was afraid of being reckless and rushed into Your Majesty." ”
"Between the beds, I forgive you for being rude. Qi Zongwen said.
The women in this palace are afraid of His Majesty, but there are few who are not afraid. This matter of men and women is not interesting in a step-by-step manner, Qin Yunyi is considered to have a high degree of cooperation, but Qi Zongwen loves her and pities her, so naturally he will not be willing to toss her.
Jin Guiren's body is soft, and he is bent to welcome.
For Qi Zongwen, it is a good choice to relieve boredom.
On the fifth day of the first month, Concubine Lu found out that she was pregnant.
At the beginning of the fifteenth dynasty, the second prince was given the name Fudan, the eldest princess was named Princess Wenjia, and the second princess was named Princess Roujia, and for the first time the harem concubines were promoted, Yao Concubine and Lu Concubine were promoted to concubines, and the two Huang Jieyu were given titles, and Jin Guiren was promoted to Zhaoyi. is the only concubine in this harem reward who has skipped two episodes in a row.
After receiving the order, the golden nobleman went to the Ditai Palace to thank her, and the empress pulled her and said that it seems that the dance on Chinese New Year's Eve was not danced in vain, Your Majesty remembers you in the end, this is also your creation, serve Your Majesty well in the future, and open branches and leaves for Your Majesty as soon as possible.
Since she was already Jin Zhaoyi, the nobleman's yard was naturally small, and the queen asked her opinion, knowing that she didn't want to move to the courtyard where she lived, so she asked the other two little beauties living behind the courtyard to move elsewhere and vacate the yard for her.
Concubine Li called Jin Zhaoyi over, "You are enlightened now, I am really comforted." ”
"It's all taught by my aunt. Jin Zhaoyi bowed her head and said.
"The master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual. Concubine Li said, "I was favored by His Majesty at the beginning, and I also jumped in a row, but after two or three promotions, I became a concubine, and you have only started now." ”
"The most important thing is to give birth to the prince while His Majesty's holy family is in full bloom. Concubine Li followed the temptation.
Jin Zhaoyi nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart, if she was pregnant and gave birth to a child, she would not be able to serve Her Majesty for ten months, and then the child would be there, but where would Your Majesty remember her. Without holy grace, giving birth to a child is just pitiful.
Jin Zhaoyi has already made up her mind, at least until she is a concubine or above, or she has an old relationship with His Majesty, so that she can have children with confidence.
She didn't ask Concubine Li why she supported others, it was pointless to pursue this now, anyway, they were a family, she was favored now, and other people who were supported by her would also wonder if she was really planning for them.
Concubine Lu found out that she was pregnant and sealed the concubine, which is really enviable, Concubine Yao looked at her, "It's also your blessing." ”
"Your Majesty has not forgotten you either. Concubine Lu comforted her and said, "The child will always come." ”
Concubine Li has the same starting point as them, and now she is just a concubine, and she can't hang up her face, so she doesn't like to come to them, Concubine Song has a higher starting point than them, but now she is on an equal footing, but she still endures the sour feeling in her heart and comes to greet them.
Qin Yunyi was repairing the flower branches, well, gem potted plants, she used tourmaline petals to fix them with silver wires to make flowers, and then changed them to the potted plants, Miaoqing looked frightened, "Niangniang, it's better to let the inner division change it and send it over." ”
"I deliberately asked the inner division to make a style that can be changed by himself, just to play today. Qin Yunyi said, "Is the wisteria trellis erected?"
The wisteria on the shadow wall has risen too much, and it has to be pruned every year, Qin Yunyi just said with a smile, it is better to use the wisteria as a shed to connect the Ronghua Palace and the Tianqing Palace, and Your Majesty and I can go back and forth under the wisteria.
Qi Zongwen asked people to do this, and when the frozen soil melted in spring, there were craftsmen tinkling outside the palace walls.
"The shelves have been erected, but we just want to transplant the wisteria at the gate of our palace, and it won't have time to grow to full coverage this year. "But the lady said that she would not let the wisteria from other places be used, and now the craftsmen are discussing how to make this shelf not ugly." ”
"Don't bother to cover it up, don't go over there on weekdays, let them grow slowly. Qin Yunyi said, "I just said it casually, but Your Majesty took it seriously." ”
"Your Majesty will always be so attentive to Niangniang. Miaoqing said.
In March, a courtier came to the table, saying that His Majesty's harem is empty now, and he can hold another draft, but Qi Zongwen refuted it, "My harem is still enough, but the two royal brothers are about to become adults, and they can look like the princess this year." ”
The emperor's son was crowned a prince, and if the emperor's younger brother had to wait until his brother ascended the throne before becoming a prince, whether he could be crowned a prince depended on the mood of the emperor's elder brother.
Fortunately, Qi Zongwen is not a stingy person, and he gave his two younger brothers the title of prince, and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for canonization and other matters, which also made the people who said they have a bottom in their hearts.
The famous ladies of the right age entered the palace in waves for the queen mother to see, and Concubine Li looked envious, "The county king is two years younger than those two, and they can also be seen together." ”
She wanted Jin Zhaoyi to take a sip in front of His Majesty.
Jin Zhaoyi thought to herself, even if His Majesty agreed to look at each other together, who in this Manjing would like to marry his daughter to the county king, the county king and his father are still imprisoned, maybe when His Majesty doesn't like it, he will follow to eat melons, but she didn't show it on her face, and only said that she would mention it when His Majesty was happy.
Qin Yunyi painted her little flowers, Qi Zongwen first drew a pair on the side, she followed the description, Qi Zongwen sat at the other end of the study and read, and when she was tired of reading, she came over to see her results, "It is said that you are so diligent, why can't you draw well?"
"I did it on purpose. Qin Yunyi said. "I've finished drawing, isn't Your Majesty, the master, about to get out of class?"
"I'd rather get out of class than spread the word, because I don't have a way to teach them. Qi Zongwen shook his head and said with a smile, "The drawing is wrong, this one has to be turned here." He grabbed Qin Yunyi's hand and turned it to the side.
"You can draw whatever I want. Qin Yunyi was still unhappy, "I'm going to add another sum later." ”
"Isn't that redundant?" Qi Zongwen said with a smile.
"I'd love to. Qin Yunyi deliberately pretended to be fierce and said.
"The princess who showed the imperial brother, have you gone to see it?" Qi Zongwen suddenly asked.
"I didn't look at it. Qin Yunyi said, "There is the queen mother and the queen, and the biological mothers of the younger brothers are still speechless, what should I do to join in the fun?"
"No one comes to your self-recommendation and relationship?" Qi Zongwen said with a smile, "I have only seen the portraits a few times, and I always feel that they all look the same, ask them, they all say that they are at my command, but this husband and wife are a lifelong thing, you said that if I choose them badly, and I will resent my husband for a lifetime, then I don't want to go." ”
"Your Majesty thinks a lot. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.
"I'm telling you seriously. Qi Zongwen said that he and the queen are like this now, not without regrets, if his father had chosen a reasonable and generous wife for him, maybe it would not be the case today.
"Husband and wife are a lifelong thing. Qin Yunyi said, "It's a lifelong thing, as long as you have a heart, you can get along well, if you don't have a heart, Your Majesty is the chosen immortal, and you are also a pair of resentful couples." ”
is also in a hurry, no one has come to Qin Yunyi to speak for the emperor's brother to choose a concubine before, and on the second day, the princess handed over the post to Ronghua Palace to see Niangniang.
Qin Yunyi let her in. "Do the courtiers still think that the lady will not see me?" said Princess Li with a smile after saluting.
"Isn't that a joke? I'm not sure I'm going to meet you, so I handed the post in. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "Last year, you and Princess Xin sent gifts to Ronghua Palace, and I appreciate it." ”
"Last year, I got along with my mother in the palace, and I was overstepping. Princess Li said with a smile.
"I see you're looking good. Qin Yunyi said, "I heard Your Majesty say that the cats in King Li's house always overturn the flower shelves, and the bruises on their bodies are so pitiful. ”
Princess Li pursed her lips and smiled, "If you don't listen to what you say, if you lose your temper, he's honest." ”
Qin Yunyi looked at her, this is the confidence of his wife, even if she is not happy with the prince, she can lose her temper regardless of the anger on her head, and she doesn't have to worry about anything else. She has His Majesty's love, does she dare to really lose her temper with His Majesty?
Don't dare.
"To tell you the truth, I don't hide it from my mother, I came to the palace this time to ask for a meeting, and I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Princess Li said, "I am here for the princess of the twelfth brother." ”
