Chapter 118: The Thousand Autumn Festival (Recommended Votes 5800)
May 15, the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival. The harem www.biquge.info the pen is naturally very lively.
The news of the harem spread quickly, although at this time, I am afraid that everyone will know that she, the noble concubine, annoyed Yu Wenhong yesterday and is likely to fall out of favor, but those who should pretend to be nothing still have to pretend to be nothing.
Yuwenhong has not come back to look for her since she left Zichen Palace yesterday, although Jiang Yu is very worried about what Yuwenhong will do to her, but since Yuwenhong did not tell outsiders that her concubine is fake, then she has to continue to pretend to be a fake concubine in the harem.
Being able to pretend to be a day is a day, and being able to live a day is a day.
Jiang Yu got dressed and walked out of the screen, checked his makeup and hair bun in front of the bronze mirror, and touched his face, it was still stunning, cold and glamorous, well, Jiang Yu was very satisfied.
Gu Wei was next to her to sort out her slightly wrinkled clothes, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw Moyu on the side, she smiled and said: "Niangniang looks good, and if you wear this dress and dress up, you will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd at the Thousand Autumn Festival." ”
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Can't I be glamorous if I don't dress up on weekdays?"
Gu Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes, she hadn't praised a few words, she was proud again, not to mention that it wasn't her own face, what was there to be proud of.
Thinking that the emperor already knew that she was not a concubine at all, and he didn't know what to do with her, he sighed with a sad face. finally knew that her sister was reborn in the concubine, and then found out that her life was in danger, and I didn't know how long the emperor could let her live.
raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yu again, and saw that she was still fiddling with her face in the mirror, but she couldn't see any sorrow, she was relaxed, and she was a little resentful.
After Jiang Yu cleaned up himself, he took Gu Yu, Mo Yu and others to Taiye Lake in the Royal Forest Garden.
In previous years, during the Qianqiu Festival, it was the foreign women who went to the Qianqiu Festival to greet the queen, and then sat down and went back after lunch. But this year, the queen suddenly had a whim, and she had to set up a platform on Taiye Lake to make the Qianqiu Festival here, and invited the Xiaoqing class outside to come into the palace to sing, so this year, the place where the foreign women asked for peace was naturally changed to Taiye Lake.
There is a saying that "when things are impermanent, there must be demons", so she also wants to see what some people in this palace want to do.
It rained yesterday and the ground was wet. The palace people spread two layers of carpet on the ground, but the water can still be seen in the rain.
When Jiang Yu arrived, the internal and external women had already arrived. The queen sat on the upper seat, and beside her sat Jiang Wan and the eldest princess of Xunyang, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. On both sides of the lower row sat the harem concubines, and then the foreign women who sat in rows.
The Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, it stands to reason that Yu Wenhong, the emperor, should also attend to show respect for the queen, but I don't know if Jiang Yu hit him too hard yesterday, Jiang Yu didn't see Yu Wenhong's shadow - in fact, it's okay to avoid the embarrassment of two people meeting, not to mention that Jiang Yu is still a little afraid of seeing Yu Wenhong now.
Jiang Wan is dressed plainly today, about the last time she was scolded by Jiang Yu because of her clothes, so she changed her style today, her plain white clothes and light makeup are like wearing linen and filial piety, which is in line with her widowhood, but it is not suitable for the scene when she entered the palace today to celebrate the queen's birthday.
The queen was shaking the hand of the eldest princess of Xunyang, and her face was gentle and loving, as if she was persuading the eldest princess of Xunyang: "...... Xunyang, it is not a way for you and your brother to always live apart like this, how can a husband and wife live together and not sleep in the same bed. Yes, my brother is sometimes a little romantic, but men, it's always inevitable to play on the scene occasionally, and women should be more considerate, just turn a blind eye and forget it. Although you are a princess, you are also the wife of your brother, and you should be more virtuous and generous with your wife, so that women all over the world can see the example of our royal princess, don't always worry about some maids, and be more gentle to your brother. Listen to the words of this palace, another day, this palace will let my brother go to the princess's mansion to apologize to you and take you back to the palace, and you will also get off the donkey and follow your brother back to the Anguo Marquis Mansion to live, don't always play the princess's temperament......"
But the eldest princess of Xunyang just looked at the queen and smiled, as if she wanted to hear what the queen could continue to say, and did not say a word.
Xunyang eldest princess Yuwen is the only daughter of the first emperor, and her biological mother was the palace maid next to Liang Shufei, who was once favored by the first emperor and named a beauty. The palace maid died soon after giving birth to the eldest princess of Xunyang, and the then Concubine Liang Shu remembered the young loss of her mother and the righteousness of the master and servant of her mother, and raised the eldest princess of Xunyang under her knees. Because she was the only daughter of the first emperor, the first emperor was quite fond of her.
Later, when it was time to get married, the eldest princess of Xunyang was married to the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cui, the eldest son of Cui Wen, the Marquis of Anguo, Cui Mian, that is, the younger brother of Queen Cui.
This eldest princess of Xunyang is a powerful woman, but the reputation of powerful and amazing women in this era is generally not very good.
Cui Mian, the son of the Marquis of Anguo, is famous, and in the second year of his marriage with the eldest princess of Xunyang, he had an affair with the maid next to the eldest princess of Xunyang and caused the maid to become pregnant. When the eldest princess of Xunyang found out, she killed the maid in a fit of rage, and dissected the fetus in the maid's womb, and then threw the maidservant girl and the dissected fetus onto Cui Mian's bed to show him.
This incident shocked the government and the opposition at that time, and the eldest princess of Xunyang has since left a reputation for abusing slaves and maids, being jealous and cruel. At that time, the first emperor was still alive, and he deliberately favored the princess, and he was already dissatisfied with the Cui family, so he just summoned the eldest princess of Xunyang into the palace and reprimanded him a little.
Cui Mian was therefore unsympathetic to the eldest princess of Xunyang, and the husband and wife fell out of harmony ever since. Until now, the husband and wife live in the princess's mansion and the other in the Anguohou mansion, and they must sit together during the New Year's holidays.
The palace people on the side reported: "The concubine has arrived!"
The women in the seat looked in the direction where Jiang Yu came from, and stood up to salute Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu nodded slightly to get up, and then walked over to salute the queen.
The queen has always been directly expressed on her face, frowning, but she looks like she ignores Jiang Yu, let alone screaming.
Jiang Yu didn't bother to look at her face, so he got up directly.
The eldest princess of Xunyang on the side looked at Jiang Yu, but raised her eyebrows and smiled very brightly, and said, "The concubine and sister-in-law are here." ”
In the emperor's harem, there is only one queen who can be worthy of the princess's "sister-in-law". But the eldest princess of Xunyang's "sister-in-law" is called interesting, especially since the eldest princess of Xunyang is married to the queen's brother-in-law, and these two should be a family.
Jiang Yu laughed, glanced at the queen, and saw that the queen was glaring at the eldest princess of Xunyang with some annoyance, and said deliberately: "Xunyang, I haven't seen you for many days, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang walked over, held Jiang Yu's hand, and smiled sweetly: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the concubine and sister-in-law are becoming more and more bright and moving." As he spoke, he half-covered his mouth and smiled, looking funny: "No wonder the emperor's brother loves his sister-in-law so much, and he rests in Zichen Palace every night, making the harem seem to be a fictitious existence." ”
This made the queen angry half to death, and couldn't help but warn: "Xunyang!"
The eldest princess of Xunyang continued to be coquettish as if she hadn't heard her words: "If the emperor's brother likes it, Xunyang will like it too." Xunyang has always wanted to get close to his sister-in-law, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity, so Xunyang will sit with his sister-in-law today and talk to him. As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at the queen, and said: "Every time Xunyang enters the palace, the queen's sister-in-law always likes to count Xunyang's 'women's morality' and 'women's rules', and Xunyang doesn't dare to sit with the queen's sister-in-law anymore." ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang is probably angry with the Cui family today, so she deliberately embarrassed the Cui family and Queen Cui, and after speaking, she kindly helped Jiang Yu to sit down in her position, and then sat next to Jiang Yu and leaned on Jiang Yu's body slightly, pointed to the pastries on the table and smiled and said to Jiang Yu which is delicious and which is not delicious, and she looks like an aunt and sister-in-law.
After Jiang Yu sat down, he smiled and dealt with the eldest princess of Xunyang, raised his eyes and glanced at the foreign women sitting in the row below, and then saw Lin Yu in the first row.
Lin Yu was also looking at her, and when she saw Jiang Yu, she smiled respectfully and nodded slightly. Jiang Yu also smiled at her and nodded, which was regarded as a hello.
At this time, Meng Xuanyu, who was sitting on the other side, did not have a good face, raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Yu, and then slowly lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.
