Mu Yuanan found out that Mu Chenghuang came over temporarily, there was no place, and he had been standing since he sat down to speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Concubine Xi glanced at Mu Chenghuang, who was standing, contemptuously, and instructed the palace maid Huanqing beside her: "This seat has been arranged, and there is no table in front of it, Huanqing, you go and add a pier at the back for the fifth princess to sit down." Turning his head, he looked at Mu Yuanan with a meek smile, "Your Majesty, is it good for the concubines to arrange it like this?"

Mu Yuanan nodded, such a trivial matter, naturally Concubine Xi is happy to arrange it.

After adding the pier, the little palace maid moved another crane knee, and the tea, fruit, and pastries were all put up, Mu Chenghuang did not eat a drop of water from morning to now, pinched up a piece of hawthorn cake that sold very well and ate it in small bites, although Dashun does not think that thinness is beautiful, but the concubines will try to eat as little as possible to maintain their figure.

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace. Although Mu Chenghuang eats in small bites, he looks very good, and he can eat non-stop as soon as he sits down, and the concubines around him are very sideways.

One of the concubines wearing a rose-colored round-necked palace dress looked at Mu Chenghuang's good appetite, and swallowed her saliva unconsciously, but her mouth was a sentence of compassion and yin: "These five princesses, who were born and raised by the concubine Niangniang, look like hungry ghosts who have not eaten enough." ”

The other pinched the splendid hibiscus cake the size of a fingernail and said: "Sister doesn't know, now that the concubine is dead, these five princesses are not as good as before, plus the emperor likes it, and the queen mother doesn't care, I'm afraid that the food she eats in the palace now is not as good as you and me in the palace, but she is a three-grade princess, but she ended up like this, and she has to watch the play here to eat enough." ”

The conversations of the palace concubines fell on Mu Chenghuang's ears word for word, but she didn't care at all, she has always been a good person, and using her brain is also physically exhausting, if she doesn't eat enough, how can she live well in this turbulent harem.

She looked up slightly at this splendid hibiscus cake, just the size of this fingernail, she has eaten it from the beginning of the banquet until now, there is still a fingernail size left, I don't know how she eats it.

Mu Chenghuang thought like this, but heard the palace maid sitting next to him persuade: "It's better to eat less, and the concubines next to her are watching." ”

Mu Chenghuang turned his head sideways, and found that a concubine wearing a green bamboo leaf pattern branch palace costume next to her was holding a pastry in one hand, her eating appearance was a little ugly, and there was only a big mouth between her and gobbling up.

"It's a little unbearable," the palace concubine touched her already bulging belly, "Then you can wrap up this flower cake and that red date cake and bring it back to the palace, I will keep it for later, my mother said, you can't waste food casually." ”

Mu Chenghuang listened, and almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, sure enough, the harem is big, and there are all kinds of women.

The opening gong sounded.

The stage of Qingliang Pavilion is built in the style of Jiangnan, with a mountain roof, eaves and feet, and finches between beams and columns

They are all delicate wood carvings, separated from the front and backstage, the famous actors sing in the front, makeup in the back, silk and bamboo, and the sound of drums rises and falls with the rhythm of the story.

The first two plays were ordered by Mu Yuan'an, the first is "Lost Street Pavilion", and the second is "Cutting Horses", although the concubines don't like it, they also pretend to be intent, wonderful, and stroke their palms again and again, and when the scene changes at halftime, they have chosen a big one from the wooden plate containing the silver and threw it on the stage.

Waiting for the silver rain to fall a little less, there will be palace people to go up to collect the silver, but also to note down which lady in which palace how many silver taels in the first few plays, and then sing the report, this method is good, a song and a report, sometimes the two angry concubines will smash more and more, if there is no silver, throw the hairpin on the head of the bracelet in your hand.

I remember that in the early years, there were two concubines who gambled fiercely, wearing them on their heads, hanging them around their necks, and throwing them all away from their wrists, and one of them stood up and unbuttoned his clothes and said: "My clothes are colored and dark color Shu brocade palace clothes, but the emperor asked someone to customize them, and the embroidery thread is mixed with gold thread, and it is worth three hundred taels of silver." ”

Another took off his shoes and said: "My pair of jade bead embroidered shoes, the upper is inlaid with pearls, and the sole is inlaid with jadeite, thinking I'm afraid of you." ”

The concubine undressed and took off her shoes in public, how ridiculous, fortunately, the concubine stopped them in time, and they were ashamed in a few words, and went back to think about it behind closed doors.

Because of this incident, and because of many later events, the emperor felt that although Concubine Ru was weak, she had a belly and aura of convincing people with virtue, so he later chose Concubine Ru to assist the Queen Mother in taking charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces.

The silver rain was almost falling, and the palace people began to go up to collect it.

Concubine Xi is naturally different from them, Concubine Xi is full of grace, her mother's family is generous, Concubine Xi directly rewarded someone with a hundred taels of silver ingots, although one hundred taels is not much, but this is the first two plays, logically speaking, this play continues, the reward can only be more, not less.

"Concubine Xi's shot is really generous, but it seems that we are shabby. It was Wu Zhaoyi who spoke.

She is the biological mother of the third princess Mu Chenghuan, although she has fallen out of favor in recent years, she can't help but give birth to a princess.

The princess was born, rewarded, and promoted.

When the princess turns one year, she will be rewarded and promoted.

The princess was sick and cured, rewarded, and promoted.

It was sealed at once, and further up, it was the position of the fourth concubine, in Mu Yuanan's heart, although the martial arts family was talented and reused, Wu Zhaoyi still had no chance with the fourth concubine after all.

"Yo, Wu Zhaoyi is really modest, the gem hairpin on Zhaoyi's head should be newly made, it looks like it's also worth a lot of money, this scene is good, it's a priceless treasure, it can make the emperor happy, it's even more worthwhile." Concubine Xi smiled and looked in the direction of Mu Yuan'an.

Mu Yuanan only smiled slightly, and when Concubine Xi turned her head, her face sank again.

In any case, Concubine Xi has always behaved perversely, although she said this to please Mu Yuanan, but Mu Chenghuang listened, there was always a taste of being the master of the house by herself, Concubine Xi was pampered and arrogant, Mu Yuanan was spoiled by the emperor's heir, and the two really got together.

Mu Chenghuang came temporarily, and he didn't bring some broken silver, just now the green palace pretended to eat a non-stop picking girl, watching everyone throw money on the stage, Mu Chenghuang didn't move, carefully pushed his wooden plate to Mu Chenghuang, and whispered: "The princess doesn't need me." ”
