Chapter 024: Discord Meter
Wen Miao's heart jumped, and she asked anxiously: "But what happened to Jingjing in the palace?"
Zhuang Hanxue sighed and said, "It's all this time, you are still worried about her safety, but you don't know that she is ...... with the prince when you are unconscious."
"What is the same as the prince?" Wen Miao asked softly, but his heart set off a lot of waves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The night you were poisoned and didn't wake up, someone saw that the girl was carried into the wing room by the prince, although it is normal to say that there are three or four women around the prince, but Cheng Jingjing's girl chose to be with the prince at that time, it is really ...... Of course, sister, don't be angry first, all this is just empty rumors. ”
After Zhuang Hanxue finished speaking, she glanced at Huaizhu, and Huaizhu, who knew about it, continued: "Princess, where is this empty talk, it is really seen by the people over there in Furong Courtyard, if it is too dark, it is still possible to see the wrong face." ”
After listening to the two masters and servants singing and harmonizing there, although Wen Miao didn't fully believe it in his heart, he was also confused. She already felt that Prince An was different from ordinary people to Jingjing, but she didn't know that the two of them were concubines. Then why did Jingjing keep deceiving her and choose to linger with Prince An when she was seriously ill?
Thinking of the picture of the two of them enjoying fish and water on the bed, Wen Miao only felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and the pain was mixed with a trace of hatred.
Looking at Wen Miao on the bed who was flustered in her plan, Zhuang Hanxue held her cold hand and comforted: "This kind of thing sister should relax and look at it, even if there is no Cheng Jingjing, I can't guarantee which maid the prince will fall in love with on a whim in the future, the most important thing now is that you take care of your body." ”
"Thank you sister for reminding me, no matter what, I won't blame Jingjing. ”
Wen Miao said weak words in his mouth, and he felt that his whole person was shaking, as if he was about to fall into the darkness at any time.
After Zhuang Hanxue returned to Luofeng Courtyard with Huaizhu, Huaizhu couldn't help but say: "The princess's trick is really wonderful, and this gentle and stupid can be, she actually believed the rumors." ”
"It doesn't matter if the rumors are true or not," Zhuang Hanxue raised the orchid and pointed to her heart, "The key is to see if your heart chooses to believe it or not." ”
"But the slave maid has a question," Huaizhu said puzzledly: "Why did the princess target Cheng Jingjing's girl this time?"
"This princess noticed her early in the morning," Zhuang Hanxue took a string of beads to play with in her hand, and said faintly: "That girl is much more powerful than her master, she has been entangled with the prince many times, and she has acted flamboyantly, and she will definitely set off storms in the future. ”
"The person in the princess's mouth, does she mean Wen Miao?" asked Huaizhu in a low voice.
Zhuang Hanxue smiled and said nothing, as if everything was under her control.
The day of the emperor's birthday soon came, and the whole country celebrated the amnesty for three days, and all civil and military officials were invited to the palace to celebrate. All officials from the fourth rank or above can go to the Hanyuan Hall to participate in the banquet, and the princes can also bring their families to attend.
"Hahahaha, good dancing, reward. ”
On the dragon chair directly above the Hanyuan Palace, Emperor Yang Zhong looked at the dancing singers in the hall with satisfaction, and said to the queen on the side: "I heard that Concubine Xiao Aifei has also prepared a program tonight, why didn't you see it?"
"Back to the emperor," Queen Zhuang Mingxue replied respectfully: "Sister Xiao has always acted mysteriously, and she won't tell her concubines about anything, and the concubines only know that Luan En Palace has been preparing intensely during this time, probably because she wants to give the emperor a big surprise." ”
"Haha, it's worthy of being a concubine, I like her temperament!"
Seeing that Emperor Yang Zhong did not have the slightest reproach, Empress Zhuang could only smile on the side, but she hated Xiao Jinyuan a little bit in her heart.
She originally wanted the people from Shangyi Bureau to cause some trouble for Xiao Jinyuan, but she didn't expect that the dead girl found a team of people out of nowhere, and a group of people were making some strange things there every day, and the eunuch who inquired about the news couldn't tell the reason when he came back, but she only knew that those singing operas were floating in the air all day long.
"Your Majesty," at this time, Xiao Jinyuan, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, walked up from the side, bowed her head and asked: "The birthday gift given to the emperor by the concubine has been prepared, can the emperor order the hundred officials to move to the lotus pavilion outside the palace together?"
"Concubine Xiao, you can act willfully on weekdays, today is the emperor's birthday, how can you let hundreds of officials mess around with you?"
"Hey, the queen is making a big fuss," Emperor Yang Zhong looked at Xiao Jinyuan who was dressed up obsessively, and said with a drunken face: "Concubine Ai can do whatever she wants, I promise you." Chang Fu, order all the officials to go to the Lotus Pavilion with me!"
"Your Majesty, but the following show has not been performed, and the banquet is only halfway through. Chang Fu said hesitantly.
"It's all scattered," Emperor Yang Zhong waved his hand impatiently, picked up a bunch of grapes and threw it on his head: "You old thing, you are the emperor, or I am the emperor, hurry up and pass the order." ”
"Yes, yes, the minions are confused. ”
Chang Fu hurriedly announced to the people below: "Your Majesty has an order, all the princes and officials will go to the Lotus Pavilion together." ”
The people below looked dazed, they had questions in their hearts but didn't dare to say, so they could only follow the emperor and leave the Hanyuan Hall in an orderly manner, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so anxious that they were sweating profusely and moved the food table and other things to the lotus pavilion in advance.
When the emperor came to the lotus pavilion with a group of people, he saw that there was a small stage in the center of the pond in front of him, which was surrounded by large lanterns and red curtain tents, and a gust of wind blew through the lanterns and swayed, and the warm yellow light sprinkled all over the ground, making people yearn for that mysterious place infinitely.
"Aifei, is this going to sing a big opera?" asked Emperor Yang Zhong with great interest.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is a singing opera and not an ordinary singing opera," Xiao Jinyuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty will know if you watch it, it must be a play that you have never seen." ”
"Oh, and what I haven't seen before?" Emperor Yang Zhong teased her half-truthfully: "If Concubine Ai breaks her word, I will punish you." ”
While the two were talking and laughing, bursts of clouds rose on both sides of the stage at some point, and a melodious music played by a flute solo came, only to see a woman in white falling gracefully from the sky, singing in her mouth: "Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain, this body has been cultivated in the cave for thousands of years." ”
Everyone thought for a while that the fairy was descending to earth, and if she was in a fairyland, Emperor Yang Zhong couldn't take her eyes off it, and even Concubine Xiao Aifei was left behind by him.
Although Cheng Jingjing looks average, the typhoon is first-class, and with the costumes and stage special effects, she is no worse than those harem concubines with beautiful looks from a distance.
At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids of Luan En Palace behind the stage are working together to divide and cooperate, the powerful eunuchs are responsible for pulling the rope to hang Weiya, and the palace maids are responsible for preparing smoke on both sides, these are all taught to them by Aunt Qingfeng, so that everyone praises her wisdom.
"Sister, is the person in white on this stage your maid?" On the guest side, Zhuang Hanxue deliberately said: "I can sing and dance, no wonder the prince likes her so much, even my sister I am moved when I see it, my sister is really blessed." ”
My sister laughed. ”
Wen Miao's heart was full of tastes for a while, she was so envious of Cheng Jingjing, she always made people forget her, even Prince An looked at the white figure on the stage with all his attention, and he didn't notice that the wine glass in his hand was dry.
