Chapter 8 The Lonely Goose The wind is sparse and the rain is sluggish
Today, the palace is also full of lights and celebrations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And this celebration is not deliberately prepared for Fuxiu to enter the palace, but today is the joy of the canonization of Concubine Shen Jiang Yunlin to be promoted to Concubine Shen, and congratulations to Concubine Shen.
Shen Guifei Jiang Yunlin is the only daughter of Prince Jiang, who grew up with the emperor since she was a child and has a deep friendship with the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Jiang canonized Prince Zheng's only daughter Zheng Xueyi as the queen for expediency, then today's queen would be this very gracious concubine.
At this time, in the White Dew Palace.
Concubine Shen sits on the top of the main hall, wearing a very plain blue cloud dress, wearing a dazzling array of pearl hairpins on her hair bun, swaying, Huasheng, a pearl on the only gilt multicolored hairpin is shining, reflecting her flower-like appearance, which can be described as really full of spring. However, now is indeed the time when she is full of spring, as soon as she was canonized as a concubine, the emperor gave her the right to associate the six palaces, and there are few people in the palace who can compare with her grace.
In the palace, except for Queen Zheng Xueyi, all the other palace concubines have already come, and they have all come to congratulate Concubine Shen Jiang Yunlin on her promotion to Concubine Shen. The concubines who came to congratulate her on her promotion included Duan Concubine Mu Xinyan, Rong Concubine Na Yurong, Xiang Concubine Mo Yuqing, Lan Concubine Wu Ya Yilan, An Guiren An Xiuyu, and Tong Guiren Guan Tong. Among them, Concubine Rong and Yurong are Fuxiu's eldest sister.
In the palace, Concubine Shen smiled and said: "Sister, you are so polite, the eighth day of the first month of next month is the official canonization ceremony of the palace, why do you need to rush to give gifts to the palace so early?" ”
As he was talking, Concubine Duan and Concubine Rong began to walk towards Concubine Shen, and when they were about to walk into Concubine Shen's side, Concubine Duan suddenly pushed Concubine Rong behind her. Then, he walked straight to Concubine Shen.
After approaching Concubine Shen, Concubine Duan said: "My sister knows that the closer to the official canonization date, the busier Sister Shen Guifei will be. So we prepared a congratulatory gift in advance and wished my sister the joy of canonization in advance. Immediately afterwards, Concubine Duan ordered someone to bring the congratulatory gift, and said: "This pair of jade carved pig dragon and jade phoenix means that Sister Shen Guifei and the emperor's dragon and phoenix are auspicious." ”
After hearing this, Concubine Shen smiled and said, "It's really kind, Concubine Duan's sister really has a heart." ”
After Concubine Duan gave the gift, it was Concubine Rong who began to give gifts, only to hear Concubine Rong say: "My sister sent two pairs of blue and white porcelain pillows and shadow celadon pillows, I wish Sister Guifei peace of mind." ”
After Concubine Duan gave gifts, it was Xiang Concubine, Lan Concubine, An Guiren, and Tong Guiren began to give gifts.
"Yuqing gave a white jade to Guanyin, wishing the concubine Niangniang and the emperor hundreds of sons and grandchildren."
"Yilan sent a pair of jasper butterfly earrings and purple jade butterfly earrings, and congratulated the concubine and the emperor on both pairs."
"Xiuyu gave a pair of white jade bracelets, wishing the concubine sister and the emperor will never be separated."
"Tong'er sent a pair of chopsticks to dispel poison, and I wish the concubine and the emperor a happy prince."
After everyone finished giving gifts, Concubine Shen got up and said with a smile: "You all have your own thoughts today, and this palace is really very happy." In order to thank your sisters, this palace has prepared some thrush things, and I hope you will like it. ”
After speaking, he motioned to the maid to present the gift. When the gift is presented, it is covered with a red cloth.
Concubine Shen pointed to the gift with her finger and smiled: "Sisters, guess what's inside?" ”
As soon as Concubine Shen finished speaking, everyone guessed. At this time, An Guiren suddenly laughed, as if he was confident.
After that, he walked to the side of the gift and patted it one by one: "Guifei Niangniang, you just said that it is a thrush thing, in this world, there are only two kinds of items that can be thrushed." One is the ink of the thrush, and the other is the snail Dai that can be used as the ink of the thrush. Immediately afterwards, he said: "Niangniang, the concubine guesses that the red cloth must be covered with Luo Zidai, since it is the concubine Niangniang who sent us, she will definitely not send anything else, it must be this Luo Zidai." Guifei Niangniang, is the concubine right? ”
After listening to An Guiren's words, Concubine Shen clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Sister An is really smart!" What this palace wants to give you is this snail Dai worth ten gold," he said, and took away the red cloth that was covered.
After the red cloth was removed, it was really this "lazy snail Dai eyebrow marks, wiping Longquan bold" snail Dai. When everyone saw it, they hurriedly surrounded it because of their curiosity. In the entire palace, the only people who can use the snail dai thrush are the queen and the queen mother, as everyone knows, Shen Guifei also has this snail dai, and there are so many. Grace must have been unmatched in the entire palace.
At this time, Concubine Lan said: "It's still the concubine who knows how to be considerate of us sisters, unlike the sick queen, who knows that lying in bed in one day is really a medicine jar!" As she spoke, the people around her seemed to see something and immediately stopped their voices. When Lan Concubine turned her head to look, she suddenly saw a maid standing behind Lan Concubine.
When Lan Concubine saw it, she seemed to be shocked, "Aunt Xiaohan, it turns out that you are here!" "It turns out that the maid behind Concubine Lan is Xiao Han, the personal maid next to the queen.
Xiao Han glanced at Concubine Lan, and then walked straight to Concubine Shen's side. "Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid is ordered by the queen to send you a congratulatory gift to congratulate Niangniang on her promotion."
After Xiao Han handed the congratulatory gift to the palace maid who was in charge of collecting the congratulatory gift, the palace maid said: "The queen mother will give eight gold and silver ingots, a pair of purple coral bracelets, and a pair of white jade and jade Ruyi." ”
Xiao Han saw that the congratulatory gift had been ordered, so he said: "Concubine Niangniang, since the congratulatory gift has been delivered, then the slave maid will retreat first, and will not disturb the mother." After speaking, Xiao Han led the palace maid who had just come in and retreated.
After seeing Xiaohan go out, Lan Concubine breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally went out, I thought she would ......." As soon as the word would come out, Lan Concubine knew that she had lost her words, so she stopped talking.
Concubine Duan sneered, "Sister Lan, doesn't she know what misfortune is in the palace?" Aren't you afraid that Xiao Han will go to the queen to talk about her sister? ”
Seeing this, Concubine Lan said, "Sister Duan, my sister naturally knows, so I don't need my sister to remind me." As soon as the words fell, Concubine Lan knelt down with Concubine Shen and retreated.
After Concubine Lan withdrew, Concubine Duan said to Concubine Shen: "Sister Concubine, look at Concubine Lan's temperament. Shen Guifei said: "It's okay, let her go!" Immediately afterwards, he said: "Since everyone has nothing to say, and the palace is also lacking, you can retreat!" ”
After Concubine Shen said, everyone retreated one by one. Before leaving, Concubine Shen also said something to Concubine Rong.
"Yurong, this palace heard that your sister Fuxiu will enter the palace today, so you can prepare for her! The emperor gave the palace the power of the six palaces, which means that the palace wants the palace to share the burden on the queen's shoulders. This palace handed over your sister's entry into the palace to you today, what does it mean, presumably Yurong already knows it, right? ”
"Yes, Guifei Niangniang, the concubine must only be the edict of Guifei Niangniang."
"Then stand down!"
As soon as Concubine Shen finished speaking, Concubine Rong quietly retreated.
Looking at Concubine Rong's retreating figure, the corners of Concubine Shen's mouth suddenly raised a puzzled smile.
