The twenty-ninth day of the twenty-ninth month of the Kangxi Dynasty, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yan had just gotten up in the morning, and Eunuch Chen, the head of Changyin Pavilion, was in a hurry to report: "Niangniang, Liu Yu, who sang the great drama of the prosperous world, suddenly fell into her throat and couldn't even speak!

There are a lot of actors in Changyin Pavilion, all of whom are eunuchs. Every year when the little eunuch enters the palace, Changyin Pavilion has to select a little eunuch with a good voice and a good figure to supplement, and then slowly teach, and the stage in Changyin Pavilion is made up in this way.

For this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Zhao Yan has also been to Changyin Pavilion several times, that Liu Yu is a little eunuch who is only seventeen, and how many women are ashamed of his appearance and voice, he has been singing "Shengshi Hongtu" for three years, and he has a reason to continue singing, and he is the safest.

However, Liu Yu poured his throat......

Zhao Yan frowned: "The main palace is not instructed, the few who will be on stage on Chinese New Year's Eve must be taken care of!"

Eunuch Chen was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, "The slave has been taking good care of it, Liu Yu was good yesterday, but today he has a bad throat!

Zhao Yan's face sank, it seemed that someone didn't want Liu Yu to take the stage...... I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, she has been drugged, but now she doesn't have time to investigate the details, so she said: "Then hurry up and ask someone else to sing first." ”

Eunuch Chen looked distressed: "If someone can replace Liu Yu, the minions will not be so anxious!

Zhao Yan's face darkened a little, it seems that it is not Liu Yu who is targeted, but her!!

Zhao Yan was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, if she didn't make this bad, Zhao Yan wouldn't believe it!

Those secret connections, if they are used to murder the concubines and imperial heirs, it is unlikely, but it is still easy to use it to calculate a small drama!!

Zhao Yan was angry and hateful, and suddenly reported outside that Concubine Yi was here!

Zhao Yan couldn't help but wonder, this son, should Concubine Yi prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve night banquet in the Baohe Palace?——Chinese New Year's Eve the night banquet, the former dynasty and the harem are separated, Kangxi will give a banquet to the outer domain and the princes and ministers in the Baohe Palace, and will not return to the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in the harem after the banquet of the previous dynasty is dispersed.

Therefore, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet needs to be arranged in two places, the big banquet in front of the Baohe Palace, which is in charge of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, and the Changyin Pavilion banquet in the harem is arranged by Zhao Yan and Concubine Rong.

Zhenghu was suspicious, and Concubine Yi ran in in a hurry, "It's not good! Somehow, the tableware in the warehouse of the Baohe Palace was fine yesterday, and I went to inspect it today, but another box was broken! Sister Huifei sent me to ask, is there a surplus of pastel bat-pattern porcelain prepared for the banquet in Changyin Pavilion?"

After Concubine Yi said these words suddenly, Zhao Yan's heart sank, and she said: "The porcelain for the New Year's Festival banquet is specially fired by the imperial kiln, and there is indeed a slight surplus in quantity. But if a whole box is broken, I am afraid that it will ......"-no matter how you make up for it, you can't fill the gap!

Concubine Yi stomped her feet angrily: "I obviously told me to take good care of it, but there was still such a big mistake!"

Zhao Yan sighed: "My sister also made a big mistake there, and I am almost inseparable here......" - Tong Jia's shot, he really didn't let go of any place!

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Changyin Pavilion also had an accident?"

Zhao Yan said: "Liu Yu, who sang the drama of "Shengshi Hongtu", poured his throat, and no one could replace him!"

Concubine Yi's eyes were round, "Baohe Hall and Changyin Pavilion have all had an accident all of a sudden, and they are both in time for the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, this ......" No matter how stupid Concubine Yi is, she should understand whose calculation it is! I can't help it, Concubine Yi gritted her teeth, "Chinese New Year's Eve feasting on you, it's about the dignity of the front dynasty and the harem, she dares-"

Concubine Yi was angry for a while, and her face turned purple.

Zhao Yan hurriedly reassured: "It's useless for Sister Yifei to be angry now, so let's hurry up and think about it." ”

Concubine Yi was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again: "What can I do?

Zhao Yan thought for a moment, and then said: "I remember that Yu Jing Dejin presented a batch of pastel Fulu Shou pattern dishes, which are suitable for the New Year's feast." I just don't know if I have used the ......" - Chinese New Year's Eve feast, naturally use new porcelain, implying a new year and a new atmosphere, and it is impossible to use old things.

Concubine Yi's eyes lit up when she heard this, "It shouldn't have been used yet, I'll go and take a look!"

Concubine Yi ran away in an instant.

Eunuch Chen, the head of Changyin Pavilion, said with a sad face: "Niangniang, what can we do about this matter?!"

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "What should I do? Since Sheng Shihongtu can't sing, let's change to another big play!"

Eunuch Chen was stunned: "I used to sing this all the time, but if I changed the ...... on the side."

Zhao Yan's face was calm: "The palace rules did not say that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet must sing "Shengshi Hongtu", as long as it is changed to suit the occasion, naturally there is nothing to do!"

Speaking, he called for a list of Kunqu opera repertoire, Zhao Yan carefully read it, and finally finalized: "This song "Eternal Reunion" is good, Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a day of family reunion, very suitable!"

Eunuch Chen smiled and said: "This is not difficult, there are many people who can sing! The slave will go back and pick the best singing, Niangniang, please do it!"

Zhao Yan sighed quietly, and said: "Prepare to warm the sedan chair, this palace is going to the flower room to take a look!" - the most lively drama has been canceled, although the eternal reunion is also suitable for the occasion, it is inevitable that it will be a little inferior. In this way, it can only be arranged in the arrangement of flowers and trees.

It was so busy tossing and turning that it was not until the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve that the Changyin Pavilion was finally arranged.

Changyin Pavilion is the largest theater garden in the inner palace, and it is only used for major celebrations such as Chinese New Year's Eve, Wanshou, and Chiaki.

Concubine Rong has been here for a whole day, this time her son twilight will fall, the red palace lights will shine, and the charcoal fire will already burn the entire Changyin Pavilion to the ground. The concubines in the palace and the wives outside the palace have arrived one after another, and they have been arranged to their respective positions in an orderly manner.

As night fell, a shrill voice of a eunuch came from outside: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!

The two palaces are also rarely wearing grand court clothes today, and the demeanor is solemn, the concubine Tong is supporting the queen mother, and Wen Guifei is supporting the queen mother, and she is in Changyin Pavilion.

For a while, Zhao Yan and Concubine Rong were busy with the concubines of the six palaces, the royal family's close branches, Fujin, and Gege knelt down to greet the two palaces.

This Changyin Pavilion is arranged in a strange way, the entrance will see a pair of huge Danfeng Chaoyang pastel vats, in the vats are actually two plum trees with strong branches, the red plum clusters on the tree, the plum fragrance paves up, it is really gratifying!

The Empress Dowager smiled and said to the two jars of red plums: "The mourning family remembers that it is cold this year, and the red plums have not yet opened, this is ......"

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the plum blossoms are glued to the silk flowers one by one. "——The craftsmanship of the embroidery lady of the needlework bureau is amazing, and the palace flowers made are exactly the same!

When Concubine Wen heard this, she looked curious, and hurriedly pinched it, "It's really a silk flower!!" Saying that, she said "Huh" again, sniffed deeply, and exclaimed: "But this plum fragrance ......"

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "The silk flowers are specially smoked with the plum blossom fragrance of Princess Shouyang for two hours, so there is such a plum fragrance!"

Concubine Wen couldn't help but praise: "Concubine Jia is really ingenious!Empress Dowager, do you say yes?" Concubine Wen looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.

The Empress Dowager's old face smiled like a flower, and she couldn't stop nodding, "Concubine Jia is an elegant person, and the Changyin Pavilion is much more elegant than in previous years!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tong almost crushed her silver teeth when she arrived, which means that she is a layman, and the layout in the past is indecent? !
