Chapter 142: Before Chinese New Year's Eve
If you want to say what Qi Shen thinks in his heart, he doesn't like Cheng Suhan much, and he has a slight affection, but such a woman who agreed to marry him turned her head and became the concubine of his imperial nephew, such a betrayal made Qi Shen only feel embarrassed, although outsiders didn't know what was going on between them.
That's why Concubine Xian was so uneasy and nervous when she faced Qi Shen.
She knew that Qi Shen was not a person who was willing to give up, but she hadn't met Qi Shen for so many years, and Qi Shen was still in a normal position, so now that she saw Qi Shen, of course she was a little scared.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, and I won't pursue the past again." Qi Shen said coldly.
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, but then she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, raised her eyes and looked at him cautiously: "Then ...... you come?"
"I haven't seen you for years, I've come to see you." Qi Shen spoke casually.
Although Qi Shen and Concubine Xian are still able to meet a little bit every year at the palace banquet, they are only limited to seeing each other from a distance, and it is today that they can really speak.
Concubine Xian heard Qi Shen's words but became uneasy again, she didn't think that Qi Shen would have any feelings for her, so now she didn't know what Qi Shen came to her for.
Qi Shen looked at Concubine Xian's uneasy eyes and smiled, that smile had a hint of evil spirit.
"Of course I'm here for something......" Qi Shen said.
……
Until Qi Shen left for a long time, Concubine Xian was still sitting there stunned when Ziyun came in.
She couldn't believe what she had heard.
Qi Shen, he actually ......
"Master." Ziyun saw that Concubine Xian had been in a daze, and shouted carefully.
Concubine Xian came back to her senses, and then raised her head to look at Ziyun, she didn't even find out that Ziyun was Qi Shen's person before, how could an ordinary maid have such an ability.
It seems that Ziyun is also Qi Shenbu's chess bar, and it is the earliest......
"Don't worry, the master, the prince only lets the slaves and maids serve the master well, and there is nothing else." Ziyun bowed down and said, although she was the person Qi Shen put next to Concubine Xian, but Qi Shen had indeed never contacted her before, nor had he given any orders to her, otherwise I am afraid that her identity would be very difficult to hide.
Concubine Xian sneered.
Even if she didn't give any orders, her every move was still in Qi Shen's hands.
"Master......" Ziyun looked at Concubine Xian with some apprehension.
Concubine Xian waved her hand: "That's it, you have indeed made a lot of contributions by my side for so long, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many tricks I would have won, I should thank him......"
Although this kind of caught her off guard.
But that's okay, she still has to think about what Qi Shen said before.
Think about it.
It's only been two days until Chinese New Year's Eve, and there hasn't been any more snow recently, but the weather is still cold.
There is a hot earth dragon burning in Qifeng Palace, so there is no need to wear too thick clothes, and the concubines sitting in their respective seats have removed their heavy cloaks and are wearing ordinary skirts.
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and it will still be a routine palace banquet, if any sister wants to show any program at the palace banquet, they can report it to the palace," Song Yuanyu's eyes glanced at the people sitting below, "There is no need to be shy, this is also a great opportunity to show your ability." ”
The folk customs of the Great Yan Kingdom are not closed, and it is common for the concubines of the harem to perform at banquets, especially the annual Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, which is the best opportunity to attract the emperor.
However, relatively speaking, the high-ranking concubines are not very enthusiastic about this, after all, the status is different.
"The concubine wants to play a pipa."
The first person to speak was Zhen Jieyu in a blue shirt, although she was from an average background, but she played the pipa very well, and she was elected to the palace because the Empress Dowager Guo played her pipa more profoundly.
"Zhen Jieyu's pipa is wonderful, but." Song Yuanxuan nodded, and then ordered the palace maid on the side to record the show.
Although Song Yuanxuan is not in charge of Fengyin, many things in the harem still need to be arranged by her, the queen, such as this kind of rehearsal program, and no one of the two queen mothers will come out to interfere.
Now that Zhen Jieyu is the head, the other concubines are naturally not to be outdone, some want to paint on the spot, some play the guzheng, and some dance, there are a lot of programs.
"The sisters are so versatile, it's a blessing for the harem." Song Yuanxuan said with a smile.
And the four concubines sitting below, Concubine Xian, Concubine Yue, Concubine Wan and Concubine Yu, none of them spoke, they were all drinking tea calmly, for them they did not need to surrender their identities to dance.
Song Yuanshu wanted to let Yang Yueshu perform at the palace banquet before, but at that time, he thought that Qi Yuan didn't love Yang Yueshu enough and wanted to pull her again, but now it's only a lot of effort, but the pattern of the harem has changed greatly.
However, although Song Yuanxuan didn't mention Concubine Yue, someone came to mention it.
"Sister Yuefei is not here to show it, now the whole palace wants to see what Sister Yuefei has to offer!" The person who said this was Concubine Wan, she looked at Yang Yueshu who was sitting opposite her, with a provocation in her eyes, she just didn't understand why her cousin didn't like her, so she doted on Yang Yueshu so much.
In particular, Concubine Wan was very embarrassed that when she went to Qianxi Palace to deliver soup to Qi Yuan before, Qi Yuan was so cold, and naturally hated Yang Yueshu even more.
The other concubines also focused their eyes on Yang Yueshu's body.
Yang Yueshu felt Concubine Wan's bright hostility and the eyes of others watching the show, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth: "Sister Concubine Wan, sister, I have been in the palace for many years, and now this is the most important performance of the palace banquet to give to the younger sister." ”
Then Yang Yueshu looked at Concubine Wan's face, and continued: "But my sister is young, although she is in the position of concubine, she doesn't have to scruples, she can show her style!" ”
Yang Yueshu's words made Concubine Wan's face ugly, because Concubine Wan heard what Yang Yueshu actually meant that although she was in the position of concubine, she should attract the emperor's attention in the palace banquet with those palace concubines with little seniority.
Concubine Wan's face was dark and calm.
"Yes, Sister Wanfei doesn't have to care, her sister's dancing skills are outstanding, so let's feast our eyes at the palace banquet." It was Concubine Xian who said this, and her fluttering words didn't seem to be anything special, but she was faintly talking to Yang Yueshu.
Hearing Concubine Xian speak, Song Yuanyu's eyes also fell on Concubine Xian, she didn't know when Concubine Xian and Yang Yueshu were so consistent, could it be the two of them...... (To be continued.) )
