Chapter 433 Cining Palace, the Queen Mother asks for a plan
"How can you not afford it, you see that the spirit of the two of you has always been better than mine, I don't have a face when I wear such clothes, but the faces of the two of you are lined by these clothes, but it is very suitable. Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, her eyes were sincere, she walked over, picked up a piece of clothing and gestured it in front of He Yufen, with a kind and gentle smile on her face, "The two Miss He are beautiful and fragrant, and if you wear such clothes and enter the palace, you will definitely be more beautiful, and Concubine Zhao will also feel happy." β
Hearing Mo Xuetong specifically mention Concubine Zhao, the vigilance in He Yufen's eyes slowly receded, replaced by a kind of pride, glanced at Mo Xuetong, and snorted coldly in her heart, she didn't believe that Mo Xuetong didn't want to please Concubine Zhao, and she was so shameless to the He family before, not because Concubine Zhao didn't say anything.
As soon as I heard that my sister could also enter the palace this time, I must have guessed that it was Concubine Zhao who was stretching out her hand behind her, where she didn't try to please her, no wonder I saw my sister today, Mo Xuetong looked flattering, smiling, and politely sending clothes, not all because she had Concubine Zhao behind her.
He Yuxiu had already fallen in love with a set of dresses, and when she saw that He Yufen didn't say anything at this time, she pointed to the set of clothes unceremoniously, pretending to be shy, and said to Mo Xuetong delicately: "Cousin-in-law, this set of clothes is really beautiful, the peony pattern surrounded by gold thread is really beautiful, I have never seen such beautiful clothes." β
"Since Miss Second likes it, I will give it to Miss Two, this dress looks like it matches Miss Two's complexion, and it matches those with fair complexion. Mo Xuetong waved her hand generously, "Come, Mo Lan will take the second lady out to dress up." β
"Yes, Second Miss, please come with the slave. Mo Lan picked up the set of clothes and smiled at He Yuxiu.
Listening to Mo Xuetong's praise and generous clothes, He Yuxiu immediately nodded happily, although she felt that this was Mo Xuetong wanting to slap Concubine Zhao, but she didn't forget to say politely: "Thank you, cousin-in-law, or cousin-in-law loves me the most." β
After speaking, she didn't have time to wait for He Yufen, so she followed Mo Lan to change her clothes, and she gritted her teeth secretly with hatred, but her hands were a little slower, and the most beautiful set of clothes fell into He Yuxiu's hands, and that set of clothes was also her fancy, and she was thinking about taking it in the name of Concubine Zhao, but she didn't expect He Yuxiu to be one step faster than her, why didn't she hate her.
I hated it in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, although my smile was still a little stiff, but I was not reckless after all.
"Miss, what do you think of this set? This set of clothes with a peacock skirt will definitely dominate the crowd after entering the palace, the eldest lady is such a gentle person, but this dress is just right. Mo Xuetong smiled and pointed to another set of dresses, and recommended to He Yufen, "Oh, this sachet is not bad, it seems to be on the second lady's clothes, but it also matches this set of clothes." β
The pink sachet is indeed very beautiful, placed on the peacock skirt, it plays the role of the finishing touch, He Yufen liked it at a glance, fortunately He Yuxiu didn't see it when she picked it, it was just right, it was her own.
"This ...... I'm really embarrassed, how can I ask for my cousin's clothes casually!" He Yufen's face was polite, and the greed in her eyes couldn't hide herself, looking at the gold silk embroidery on it, her eyes didn't blink, Mo Yu believed that if she wasn't here, this Miss He would have jumped up and hugged her clothes in her arms.
At this time, I endured it and pretended to be steady, which was really ridiculous.
"What's so embarrassing about this, Miss He is dressed beautifully, and when she sees Concubine Zhao, her face will not be brightened. Mo Xuetong smiled affectionately.
It's Concubine Zhao again, I'm really afraid of Concubine Zhao!
I didn't expect Mo Xuetong to be so timid, the words were full of Concubine Zhao, and then when she entered the palace, as long as Concubine Zhao stood behind her, Mo Xuetong was so afraid, He Yufen immediately felt in a good mood, and suddenly felt that she couldn't look down on Mo Xuetong, since this is the case, where should she be more polite, Mo Xuetong must be afraid that she would say bad things about her in front of Concubine Zhao, and at this time she tried her best to please herself, since this is the case, don't be in vain, don't be slow, the shameless He Yuxiu came out, and he couldn't say that he would fall in love with this set again, and he really wanted to cry and had no place to go when the time cameγ
"Thank you, sister-in-law. This time, He Yufen no longer pretended to be reserved, and raised her hand with a smug face to Mo Xue's pupils, and her demeanor was very contemptuous.
This time, it was Moyu who took her down to change her clothes.
After a while, the two of them all changed their clothes, He Yuxiu was wearing a glittering golden thread of red and pink gauze all over the place, with a pale pink skirt underneath, a string of Yingluo necklaces hanging on her chest, and her falling hair and temples were combed into palace costumes, which was very sultry, painted with thrushes, and decorated like a bride who was about to get married.
On the other side, He Yufen was wearing a light green peacock skirt with gold makeup, a small jacket of the same color, a pearl jade belt with a small cyan tassel at the waist, a few jade pendants hanging from the waist, and a pink sachet.
The two of them walked together like this, and they were just as beautiful, but between the actions of this jade pendant sachet, He Yufen added a bit of style, and immediately compared He Yuxiu.
"Miss He is really good-looking, if she is favored by that nobleman, she will not be able to rise to the top. Mo Yu clapped his hands on the side.
Being praised in front of so many people, even if He Yufen is proud, she must be an unmarried daughter's family, and she lowered her head shyly, but she didn't happen to see the cold jealousy in He Yuxiu's eyes that could not be concealed.
The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace is very lively today, not only the jade concubine who is pregnant with Liujia, but also the concubine Zhao who favors the harem, Ling Rui'er, the princess of Chu, You Yue'e, the princess of Yan, Ling Mingyan, the wife of the prince of Mingguo, and the daughters of some families, young ladies, can be described as beautiful women like clouds, coquettish voices, and whispers in the ears.
When Mo Xuetong arrived, the Queen Mother invited her to the main hall, and when she arrived at the main hall, she saw the Queen Mother sitting in the center, kind and kind-eyed, and in good spirits, but it was not the legend outside before, and she was about to die.
On the left side sat the jade concubine, her belly was already visible, wearing a goose yellow pomegranate dress, beautiful eyes and delicate, smiling and talking to the queen mother, from time to time attracted a burst of joyful laughter from the queen mother.
On the right side of the Queen Mother is Concubine Zhao, she is wearing a set of light green dresses, compared with the plump body of Concubine Yu who is pregnant with a child, Concubine Zhao seems to be a little weaker, with a smile in her charm, but she is very amiable, but she does not have the arrogance of the harem for ten years.
Laughing with the Queen Mother on the side, and interjecting a sentence from time to time, you can also get a hint of a smile from the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother, the Jade Concubine, and the Zhao Concubine, it can be said that in addition to the Queen and the Su nobles, these two women who are in the limelight in the harem are the best candidates.
Look at the lady in this hall, miss, half of the family in the court is involved!
The Queen Mother, who has always been faintly hidden behind the scenes, is quite suspicious when she comes up with this one.
"Give Princess Xuan a seat. Mo Xuetong finished the ceremony, the Queen Mother smiled and beckoned someone to give her a seat, and Mo Xuetong sat on the side with a smile.
When everyone was almost here, the Queen Mother said the reason why she specially summoned everyone to the palace today, saying that by wanting to get together with young people, she was really using everyone's ideas to help think about how to help the emperor celebrate his 60th birthday.
In previous years, on the emperor's birthday, it was the queen who controlled the palace, but now the queen is not in good health, and this matter falls on the queen mother.
The Queen Mother took over this year, and she thought about whether she could change her tricks, so she called all the young ladies and ladies of all the families to listen to the opinions of young people.
"All of you here are a number of ladies and young ladies from all over the family, and even the three princesses have been called by me to think of ideas, you are all young people, and you have long ideas, so help the mourning family think about it and see if there are any new ways to make the emperor more happy." The Queen Mother sat on it and smiled, her eyes sweeping over the people present.
To celebrate the emperor's birthday and think of a few fresh recipes, it is really suspicious to pass on the young ladies and ladies of the family to enter the door with such fanfare. Although Mo Xuetong didn't know what the queen mother's motive was, she still smiled and accompanied her, anyway, this lady in the hall is young.
Just pretend not to understand, just watch the development of the situation.
Raised his eyes and looked at the many ladies and ladies below, and sure enough, he saw two familiar faces inside, and as expected, the He sisters rushed into the palace when they left their Xuanwang Mansion, and they arrived a little earlier than themselves.
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, the young ladies and ladies immediately chattered and gave the Queen Mother ideas.
For a while, the hall was bustling with activity.
In the end, Ling Ruier also deliberately set up a list for the Queen Mother, no less than forty or fifty, sure enough, there are many people with great strength, Mo Xue Tong is comfortable pretending that she doesn't understand, and only accompanies the smiling face on the side.
But some people just can't see her good, and sure enough, after a while, Ling Rui'er turned to her with a smile and said, "Princess Xuan has always been smart and clever, why don't you help the Queen Mother come up with ideas?"
This was said as if Mo Xuetong deliberately wanted to save face for the Empress Dowager.
Although the Queen Mother sitting on it was still smiling and talking to Concubine Yu, her eyes swept over Mo Xue's pupils.
Mo Xuetong raised her head under the glance of the Queen Mother, smiled at Ling Rui'er, and said with some shame: "Princess Chu said that she laughed, how can I understand this, this is the first time I have heard someone talk about the emperor's birthday banquet, when I was in Yuncheng before, I only heard about the emperor's birthday banquet, which was extremely gorgeous, and when I heard it here today, I only felt that the ideas of the ladies and ladies were good, but they couldn't tell the difference." β
As she spoke, her slightly childish white face showed a little uneasiness, and she looked a little embarrassed to be asked.
The eyes of the Queen Mother sitting on it became more and more scrutinizing and deep.
Mo Xuetong is from Cloud City, and has not been favored before, and then returned to the capital to soar into the sky, first got the eyes of the eldest princess, became the lord of Anping, and then married to the Xuan Wangfu in the name of Chongxi.
Then, the always debauched Xuan Wang Feng Jueran actually had the intention of turning back, not only drove all the women in the backyard together, but even faintly had the meaning of being the sole favor, and even the affairs of the court were no longer as if they were talking about it before, and they also helped the emperor to start the council.
The change is so big, is it really just a little girl who doesn't know anything and is super lucky?
"Princess Xuan doesn't have to be polite, today I am here only about the love of ancestors and grandchildren, if you have any good ideas, just say and listen, you have to let the mourning family know what good ideas Princess Xuan has, and the young people's ideas are always more bright than the old people of the mourning family. The Queen Mother sat on it and looked at Mo Xuetong kindly, and smiled.
Ling Rui'er replied with a smile this time: "Where is the Queen Mother old, now it looks like I am a sister, last time the Queen Mother's father also said that the Queen Mother's face remains the same as when she was in the previous province, where is the age." β
This is the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Dingguo Mansion, and the ladies and ladies approached and immediately flattered Ling Rui'er's words.
