033: Qin Guifei's thoughts
readx;? After staying in the Hehuan Hall for half an hour, Qin Guifei wanted to change her clothes, and Lou Yueqing left with Ling'er. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rong Xin didn't talk much just now, and when she came out, her face was even more weird, Lou Yueqing looked at her with some doubts, "What's wrong with you?"
She had been quiet in the Hehuan Hall just now, and she only said a word when Qin Guifei asked, and she had never seen her so quiet on weekdays.
After holding it for a long time, Rong Xin looked at Lou Yueqing and said in a muffled voice, "Cousin, you should stay away from Qin Guifei in the future!"
Yes?
Lou Yueqing frowned, paused, looked at Rong Xin's suffocated little face, and couldn't help but speak, "Why?"
Rong Xin's words are also strange, although Qin Guifei is unclear, but Lou Yueqing can feel that she will not be unfavorable to herself, although Rong Xin is simple, but these things are also understood, why did she suddenly say such a thing?
Moreover, she and Qin Guifei do not have any conflict of interest.
Rong Xin thought about it for a while, and wondered whether to say it, but after all, he couldn't hold back, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Doesn't my cousin know that Concubine Qin used to be the regent's fiancée?"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing's face was stunned, she looked at Rong Xin, and was silent.
She didn't know about it.
Rong Xin saw that Lou Yueqing didn't speak, looked around, saw that there was no one, thought about it, and said in a low voice, "The relationship between my cousin and the regent is already well known, Qin Guifei has been looking at the favored harem all these years, but she used to be concerned about the regent, and then she was forced to enter the palace, who knows if she let go of the regent, grandpa said, this Qin Guifei is an elusive woman, she had a deep affection for the regent back then, I am afraid that she will be unfavorable to my cousin!"
This matter is not known to everyone, the old prince has always favored her, so sometimes she will not avoid her when talking about these things, not to mention, after the rumors of Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing came out some time ago, Princess Shen also told her about these past events.
Qin Guifei is the emperor's heart and favors the harem, but after all, she used to care about Rong Zhi, and a woman's affection is not something that can be put down, who knows if she will have other thoughts, and who knows if she will be unfavorable to Lou Yueqing.
That's why Rong Xin has been thinking about these things all the time.
Looking at Qin Guifei and Lou Yueqing talking happily, she was a little speechless in her heart.
After listening to Rong Xin's worries, Lou Yueqing couldn't help but say helplessly, "You think too much!"
Seeing that Lou Yueqing didn't care at all, Rong Xin was a little anxious, "Cousin, don't you know ......?"
Lou Yueqing interrupted her, "Xin'er!"
Rong Xin was stunned, staring at Lou Yueqing, she was just worried that Lou Yueqing would be calculated by Qin Guifei, after all, in her cognition, the women in the palace are not good people, although she is well protected by the Shen Wangfu, she can understand everything that should be understood, the concubines in the palace, which is not very deep in the city, not to mention your concubine, even grandpa can't think about it, who knows what she wants to do when she approaches Lou Yueqing like this.
Looking at the worry that Rong Xin's eyes couldn't hide, Lou Yueqing naturally knew that these words were indeed well-intentioned, but ......
She looked at Rong Xin and said softly, "No matter what, Concubine Qin is already the emperor's concubine, she is a smart person, she will not be unfavorable to me, you can rest assured of this!"
Rong Xin pursed her lips, still not at ease.
"Cousin, you are not in Beijing all the year round, I don't know what the women in the palace are best at, in case you ......" In case Qin Guifei has no affection for the regent, and the woman's jealousy is so terrible, who knows what she will do.
Qin Guifei was originally the wife of the first emperor for Rong Zhi, although no one mentioned this matter now, and no one dared to break it, but in the royal family, Rong Xin still knew something, it is said that Qin Guifei was very affectionate to Rong Zhi back then, when the emperor ascended the throne and named her a concubine, she was extremely reluctant at first, but the holy decree had been issued, and she couldn't help it, so she entered the palace as a concubine, and the holy favor has not faded for so many years, but Rong Xin has not seen the emperor and the concubine get along, as long as you see the people who get along with the imperial concubine, I am afraid that it can be seen that it is very weird.
Therefore, Rong Xin is very sure that Qin Guifei's heart is still in Rong Zhi, since this is the case, Qin Guifei will really be indifferent to Rong Zhi's sweetheart?
Lou Yueqing smiled faintly, her face was not impatient or impatient, and she said softly, "Xin'er, you are too worried, don't talk about these things in the future, now that the overall situation has been decided, even if Qin Guifei and Rong Zhi have a marriage contract, it is also a matter of the past, now she is a concubine, and she is Rong Zhi's imperial sister-in-law, no one can change this, not to mention, Luohua is intentionally no match for flowing water and ruthlessness after all, do you understand?"
As long as Rong Zhi doesn't have this mind about Qin Guifei, then Lou Yueqing doesn't have any worries, in the final analysis, in her heart, Rong Zhi's love is more important than anything else, so as long as Rong Zhi likes her and she likes Rong Zhi, she will not be afraid of any factors.
No matter how affectionate Qin Guifei is, it doesn't make any sense.
When Rong Xin heard this, he didn't seem to understand.
She was still worried.
Lou Yueqing is her cousin, and she also regards this cousin as her own sister, so she is naturally worried, she is not an ignorant person, and she also knows some things about the court, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is cruel, indifferent and ruthless, how many people have been killed over the years, the honor of the princess regent has to pay a price, in fact, if there are not so many crises, the regent is indeed a rare man, the dragon among people, handsome and extraordinary, and it is enough to match the cousin.
It's just that no matter how much it matches, it's not as important as Lou Yueqing's safety.
Lou Yueqing didn't care about what Rong Xin was worried about, and said softly, "Okay, it's not early, the time for the palace banquet is coming, I'm afraid that my mother and aunt are waiting for us, it's not good to go late!"
Rong Xin saw that Lou Yueqing really didn't care at all, but he didn't say anything, he bowed slightly, "Hmm!"
Sure enough, at this time, a lot of people had gathered in the imperial garden, and a huge open space was full of banquets, and the ladies of each province gathered together in twos and threes to exchange their eyebrows, which was very lively.
The palace maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth, arranging the things on the palace banquet.
Lou Yueqing saw from a distance that there was a high platform in the open space of the imperial garden, and there were nearly 100 seats on both sides of the high platform.
Lou Yueqing quickly saw Mrs. Ning Guo standing in a chrysanthemum bush with several women in Chinese clothes, and walked over directly.
Walking all the way, many girls greeted her, Lou Yueqing smiled lightly, ignored the tentative gazes of these people, and walked directly to Mrs. Ning Guo's side.
With Mrs. Ning Guo, there were also Princess Shen and the ladies of the two mansions, but there was a woman in a lilac palace dress Lou Yueqing who didn't recognize it.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Ning Guo hurriedly smiled and beckoned, and Lou Yueqing walked over with a smile.
Mrs. Ning Guo pulled her and asked softly, "I heard that the noble concubine asked you to go, why did you go for so long?"
Lou Yueqing smiled lightly, "The concubine kept me to say something, so I stayed longer, which made my mother worried!"
"Out of the way!"
The woman in the lilac palace dress smiled and said, "Could it be that this is the little county lord of the Ningguo Mansion?" said, looking at Lou Yueqing tightly.
With her voice, Mrs. Ning Guo smiled, bowed her head slightly, and then said to Lou Yueqing, "This is the princess of Xining County!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows and slowly blessed her body, "The princess is well!"
In fact, it stands to reason that she doesn't need to salute this princess of the county, her identity is here, not lower than the king of Xining County, but as a junior, the number of etiquette is naturally indispensable.
Seeing this, the princess of Xining County hurriedly helped Lou Yueqing up, and said busily, "County lord, don't be polite, where can I afford this gift from you!"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Ning Guo, and said with a smile, "I have always heard that the county lord's demeanor is no less than that of Mrs. back then, and sure enough, when I saw it today, I felt that this was true, Mrs. really gave birth to an excellent daughter!"
Mrs. Ning Guo raised her eyebrows, "The princess praises falsely!"
Princess Shen on the side spoke at the right time, "I haven't seen the county lord of Yiyang for a long time, but she is so marked, I don't know if the princess of the county has ever promised her a match?"
As he spoke, he looked at a young woman beside the princess.
The woman was wearing a light pink dress, wearing a delicate head and face on her head, her face was beautiful, although she was not endless, but she was also pretty, with a light smile on her face, she was looking at Lou Yueqing, with a look and doubts in her eyes, and when she heard someone call her name, she hurriedly looked at Princess Shen, her face was a little nervous.
This is the daughter of the prince of Xining County, the lord of Yiyang, whose maiden name is Rong Yuyan.
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze from Lou Yueqing, and turned to look at her mother, as if she was a little nervous.
The princess of Xining County smiled lightly, "She just got married, and she is not in a hurry, and she will think about it for her when her brother gets married, but this child has never gotten along with people since he was a child, he is not good at words, and he doesn't know if he can find a good family!"
As soon as her words came out, the county lord of Yiyang hung his head, bit his lower lip in embarrassment, and tugged on his cuffs tightly with both hands, as if he was a little uncomfortable, which showed that what the princess of the county said was true.
Because the Xining County Mansion does not intersect with the outside world all the year round, if it is not a large-scale palace banquet, no one will come to participate, although this Yiyang County Lord is the county lord of the County Palace, but he does not get along with people, does not understand the world, but is a little childish.
Princess Shen chuckled, "Naturally, it is possible, now many young talents in Beijing have never been married, the county lord is noble, he didn't like to go out before, but he will have to come out and walk around more in the future, you are the same age as Xin'er, it is better to come to the palace as a guest, so it is best for the two to be companions!"
As he spoke, he pulled Rong Xin, who was standing beside him, and Rong Xin also smiled generously.
The princess of Xining County raised her eyebrows, then turned her head to look at the county lord of Yiyang, and then bowed slightly, and said, "In this way, I will take this child to visit Uncle Shen Wang another day, I remember that I haven't seen his old man for many years, it's good to go and see!"
"In this way, I will wait for the princess of the county!"
Lou Yueqing stood aside and watched their conversation, couldn't help but droop her eyes in contemplation, and casually turned to look at Mrs. Ning Guo, raised her eyebrows, and did not speak.
Mrs. Ning Guo also looked at her, and when she saw the doubt in her eyes, she nodded.
Seeing this, Lou Yueqing was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything.
The sky slowly darkened, and the ladies of all the houses also sat back in their respective places.
The start time of the banquet is Youshi, and now it is the end of the Shen time, and the officials and their families have returned to their positions to sit, and the status of the Ningguo Mansion is respected, and the natural position is in the front, just below the Shenwang Mansion, and the Yuan family on the other side is just opposite.
Lou Yueqing sat in her place, looking at Cen Xue, who was sitting there quietly opposite, with her eyes down, thoughtful.
Ling'er, who was sitting next to her, looked around with big eyes, her eyes were full of curiosity, the first time she saw the palace, the first time she saw the palace banquet, a child, naturally very curious.
Because the day after the dinner must be dark, so the banquet site has prepared a lot of things to wait for lighting, in the middle of the seats on both sides, is a high platform, wait for a song and dance is on it, and next to the high platform, there are also a number of braziers for lighting.
Not long after he sat down, the eunuch's high-pitched voice came from the entrance of the banquet, "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the concubine has arrived!"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw that at the entrance of the banquet, a man wearing a white dragon-patterned brocade robe walked in slowly, his pace was slow, unhurried, his hand was holding Qin Guifei in a blue gorgeous palace dress, Qin Guifei smiled on her face, and followed step by step, the two walked in front, as if a good couple walked in, very eye-catching.
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother both walked behind in gorgeous phoenix robes, their faces were flat, and there seemed to be no fluctuations.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
At the end of the ceremony, the emperor asked everyone to sit down.
Lou Yueqing found out that Rong Yan directly pulled Qin Guifei to sit on the dragon chair, not caring about anyone at all, Qin Guifei also looked natural and sat next to Rong Yan, while the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother sat in the two positions on the left side of the dragon chair.
On the right side of the dragon chair, there is only one seat, which is empty at this time, if you guess correctly, that seat is Rong Zhi's.
It's just, why hasn't he come yet?
Lou Yueqing frowned, not only him, but also Lou Yichen hadn't come yet.
Rong Yan said a few polite words on it, and the dinner began.
Looking at Rong Yan's seemingly sad look, talking to Qin Guifei beside him, I don't know what she was talking about, Qin Guifei also lowered her eyebrows and smiled, she seemed to be in a good mood.
The scene was very quiet, because looking at the emperor and the concubine above as if there was no one next to them, talking and laughing, and then looking at the queen mother and the queen with strained faces, no one dared to let go of their hearts and drink fun.
Only then did the queen speak, "Your Majesty, the concubine ordered the dancing girls in the palace to rehearse a dance, specially to celebrate the reunion today, I don't know if the emperor wants to announce them up?"
As soon as she spoke, the emperor turned his head to look at her, his eyes showed displeasure, and then he flashed by, and smiled faintly, "Since the queen is so bothered, she naturally wants to see it!"
The queen whispered to the personal maid beside her, and the maid slapped twice.
Immediately, a group of scantily clad and charming-looking dancers came up and jumped up on the high platform in the middle of the feast.
The music of the silk and bamboo orchestra suddenly sounded, accompanied by the dance on the stage, which was very pleasant.
The emperor looked at the dance of this group of dancing girls, and his expression was sorrowful, and there was no fluctuation.
It was as if those flower-like dancing girls and the graceful posture of those dancing girls did not enter his eyes at all, and after only looking at it for a while, he turned his head to look at Qin Guifei beside him, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice, "I don't seem to have seen my concubine dance for many years!"
Qin Guifei was originally looking down at the empty seat under the dragon chair, her thoughts were flying, and when she heard Rong Yan's voice at first glance, she hurriedly came back to her senses, and then smiled faintly, "I'm afraid the concubine won't be able to dance!"
After speaking, his eyes suddenly froze, looking at a woman who was dancing in the audience, with a complicated complexion.
Rong Yan was about to say something, but when he saw that her expression was different, he followed her gaze, only to see that on the high platform below, a group of dancing girls were surrounding a woman in blue and fiddling, and the posture of the movement was very familiar.
This is a dance created by Qin Guifei, called the long-sleeved dance, Qin Guifei loved to dance back then, so she created a dance, nine years ago the first emperor danced at the palace banquet of the first emperor's birthday, its dance posture is graceful, shined, praised by the first emperor, called her the first talented woman of Chu State.
This dance is even more popular in the Chu State, but no one can learn the essence of Qin Guifei, but since then, Qin Guru has never danced this dance.
The dancing woman was wrapped in a veil and wore a blue corset wide-sleeved long skirt, surrounded by a group of dancing girls, she danced one after another, because her body was thin and soft, so she danced like Qin Guifei back then.
Qin Guifei's face was slightly gloomy, obviously slightly displeased, but this trace of displeasure was quickly concealed, and her face returned to calm.
The emperor also looked at the dance below with a complicated face, staring closely at the woman in the middle who was dancing wrapped in a veil, and was silent.
Empress Yuan looked at the expressions of the emperor and Qin Guifei, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, thoughtfully.
And the people below, looking at the dance on the stage, all subconsciously looked at Qin Guifei, and when they saw her pale face, they all had their own thoughts.
Lou Yueqing looked at the things in front of her, sniffed lightly with the wine glass, and then smiled lowly.
Ling'er beside her looked at the dance on the scene, turned her head to look at Lou Yueqing, and saw that she was sniffing the wine, her two eyebrows were twisted together, she bit her little lip, and said, "Auntie, I want to drink it too!"
Lou Yueqing glanced at her, "No!"
Ling'er's mouth was deflated, unhappy.
Lou Yueqing smiled faintly, rubbed her head, and said, "Good, when you grow up, my aunt will give you a drink!"
"Humph!" again!
Lou Yueqing said no more.
Mrs. Ning Guo, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly turned her head and said with a stiff face, "You are not allowed to drink either!"
Rattle......
Lou Yueqing looked at Mrs. Ning Guo, and then looked at the wine bottle in her hand, she was about to pour it into her mouth.
Mrs. Ning Guo looked non-negotiable, and Lou Yueqing had no choice but to put down the cup obediently and continue to watch the dance in front of her.
Ling'er's gloating laughter came, and Lou Yueqing glared at her.
Little without conscience!
The dance on the high platform in front of us is nearing its end.
The faces of the dragon chair god and concubine were extremely calm, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
But there was a sudden burst of applause at the scene.
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said, "Good dance, this charm is very similar to the concubine back then!"
Then he turned his head to look at Qin Guifei, who was sitting beside the emperor with a calm face, and raised his eyebrows, "What does the concubine think?"
Qin Guifei would smile lightly, "What the Queen Mother says is what she says!"
