Chapter 37: The Sin of Asking for a Hairpin (1)
The difference between Yuhuatai and Ligong is that Yuhuatai sings and dances almost every day, and all kinds of banquets of all sizes are continuous.
Emperor Jiayang was sick for nearly ten days before she gradually improved, Concubine Ning was very happy in her heart, and set up a banquet on the Yanyu Tower to entertain the concubines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At three o'clock, Su Dai woke up leisurely, Luo Zhi had already prepared the clothes for the banquet and waited aside, Su Dai glanced at the clothes in her hand and said, "Let's change to a plain one." ”
Luo Zhi was slightly stunned when she heard this, so she turned around and took a set of blue-gray dresses, and when she saw Su Dai's head, she served her to change into it.
The woman in the luodian mirror did not apply powder, and the three thousand green silk was only pulled up with a jasper hairpin, and there was nothing else in her hair. Su Dai nodded with satisfaction, and Saihan wondered: "How can the mother go to the banquet to dress so plainly?" ”
Su Dai smiled faintly: "You will find out in a moment." ”
Yanyu floor is on the Qinglian Island in the north of Ruyi Island, the building is from south to north, the front is the door hall, there are two floors in the back, the red pillar and green tile, the face is wide and five, the depth of two rooms, single eaves, there is a corridor all around. The Holy Ancestor of Great Chu once wrote a poem "The most suitable place for rain and smoke is not hindered by the sky and the earth." But the south tour is rewarded by the award, and the wind of Pinghu hands the peony and lotus incense. 1 Therefore, it was given the name "Smoke and Rain Building". Looking at it by the railing, you can see the lotus in the lake, and the lake is full of fog, like a cloud of smoke.
There are already a few low-level concubines on the Yanyu upstairs gathered together to laugh, Ying is often smiling delicately, the gold-inlaid beaded emerald hairpin between the buns flashes with a moving luster, and the Wei Xuan waiter has an envious look on his face, and smiles sweetly: "This hairpin on my sister's head is really beautiful." ”
Ying Chang was gently stroking the golden hairpin between her hair with her bare hands, and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty rewarded a few days ago is naturally much better than what Si Zhensi sent." ”
Han Xiaoyi, who was sitting not far away, raised her eyes and glanced at Yingchang with contempt, and said in a loud voice: "What kind of good thing is it that makes Yingchang such a treasure?" Why don't you take it down and let me see? ”
Ying Changzai is the only one among several low-level concubines who has a title, and Han Xiaoyi, who is ranked from the fifth grade, thinks that her family background is better than her, and her appearance is better than her, but she is not titled when she is born. And that warbler is just a dancing girl who has entered His Majesty's eyes by dancing.
Ying often saw that it was Han Xiaoyi, who was far above her, and although she was extremely reluctant, she still took off the golden hairpin in her hair and handed it to her.
Han Xiaoyi took the golden hairpin and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help cursing in her heart, this hairpin is beautiful and noble, why did Your Majesty reward this slave-born slut.
She rubbed her fingertips over the pearl cui on the hairpin, and said with a smile on her face: "What kind of treasure should I be!" It's just a golden hairpin, and my sister is really pitiful, what kind of treasure is there in the palace, and my sister has never seen it! As soon as the words fell, as if he had just remembered something, he covered his lips and chuckled: "Ah, I forgot, my sister used to be in the Taile Department, of course I can't see these things." ”
After Han Xiaoyi finished speaking, the chuckles of several concubines sounded around her, and Yingchang was holding back the anger in her heart, pulling the corners of her mouth and laughing: "Sister said she laughed." ”
Han Xiaoyi glanced at Yingchang with smugness, and said with a chuckle: "My sister is as beautiful as a flower, and I don't know how many people in the palace are jealous of my sister's good color like a flower." ”
Yingchang didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the pot, so she had to laugh with her: "My sister praised it falsely, my sister is just the posture of Pu Liu, how can she compare to my sister Yunrong and Yuexiang." My sister occasionally won the favor of His Majesty, but it was just the word lucky. ”
How could Han Xiaoyi really praise her, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Where is my sister talking about, my sister is so good-looking, she is too young, and she is too angry, and the limelight is all about robbing this golden hairpin, in my opinion, this golden hairpin robs my sister's brilliance." ”
Ying Chang smiled and said, "What my sister said is true." ”
Han Xiaoyi smiled proudly when she heard this, and inserted the golden hairpin into her hair: "But I like this hairpin a lot, I wonder if my sister is willing to cut her love?" ”
Ying Chang pursed her lips tightly, almost crushing a mouthful of silver teeth, and after a moment, she forced a smile and said: "My sister is bright and dignified, my sister thinks that she can't compare, if my sister doesn't dislike it, take it and wear it, how can I talk about cutting love or not cutting love?" ”
Han Xiaoyi's eyes were full of happiness, and she smiled: "My sister is used to talking. ”
"What are you laughing at?" As he spoke, a female voice came from behind him.
Looking back, I saw that the woman's ink-like green silk was pulled into a spiritual snake bun, and the dotted green phoenix on the sideburns shook her extravagantly, and a silver and red peony brocade magnolia skirt was so flamboyant that it was difficult to take off her eyes, although the woman had a smile on her face, she was full of arrogance.
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen Sheng Jieyu." ”
Sheng Han'an raised his hand lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Get up." ”
After everyone got up, Sheng Han'an looked at Ying Chang Zai and sneered: "How is Ying Chang dressed so plainly? Didn't Your Majesty call you to bed, and you wouldn't even be able to take out a decent jewelry? If this palace is you, you can't wait to hide in the palace to avoid seeing people, and when you come out, you can make people laugh at the face of the heavenly family. ”
Ying Chang bent his knees slightly, lowered his eyes and said softly: "What Niangniang taught is that concubines must follow the teachings. ”
Han Xiaoyi sneered in her heart, and stepped forward to laugh again: "Niangniang is beautiful, where can she compare, if she can have one-ten-thousandth of Niangniang, she will not just be a permanent presence." ”
Sheng Han'an glanced at her, and said with a smug smile: "Han Xiaoyi's mouth is still so sweet, it can always make the palace happy." However, speaking of which, Yingchang Changzai also won His Majesty's favor by dancing, and his servility is so that he naturally can't get into the hall of elegance. ”
Han Xiaoyi ate and smiled: "What Niangniang said is very true. ”
After the two sat down, Wei Xuanzhi looked at the silent Ying Chang with some pity, and then said softly: "Sister, don't worry, Han Xiaoyi has always been like this, holding high and stepping low." Sheng Jieyu is not something I can offend you or me, my sister should relax and don't go to her heart. ”
Yingchang recalled that after her first bed, on the way back to the palace after visiting the virtuous concubine, she was found by Sheng Jieyu and punished for kneeling on the long street for two hours, and now she is ridiculed in public about her origin. Thinking of this, she was angry, but because of her bad position, she had to pull a stiff smile and said, "Thank you sister for reminding me." ”
After a while, the palace concubines came one after another. Rong Bingye and Concubine Ning were the last to come up.
Concubine Ning sat down with Xiaoyang's hand, and her eyebrows were full of smiles: "What happened a few days ago was depressing, and today I specially invited all the sisters to get together." After that, the phoenix eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and said lazily: "The virtuous concubine has been getting tired and tired before, and now she has a head and a bad disease, so she can't come." But Concubine Yi's sister is also unwell? Why don't you send someone to inform you? Shao Wanyi, you have always been close to her, do you know what's going on? ”
Jiang Mi got up slightly and saluted, and replied with low eyebrows: "Back to Concubine Ning, the concubine doesn't know, it's too late to come to Concubine Yi because of something." ”
When Concubine Ning heard this, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Rong Bingye and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's enjoy the singing and dancing first, and wait for Concubine Yi's sister." ”
Rong Bingye smiled slightly: "Then so be it." ”
