This time, the king of Chu was so busy that he specially arranged for the guards in front of the palace to help Xin Hui transmit the news of Kunhe Palace, so as not to worry her

Xin Hui was originally the most conscientious person who paid for himself, and seeing that the King of Chu was so concerned, she naturally spared no effort to focus on the dinner on the second day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the banquet, there are detailed regulations on the display of delicacies, although Xin Hui has a special female official and teacher before entering Chu, but the grand state banquet, there are rules for the order and food offerings, where can she remember a lot, plus the king of Chu has been prepared early, and Yan Yin assists from the side, Xin Hui only needs to roughly remember a process, and then has its own senior female officials to assist.

This state banquet took the opportunity of the King of Chu to invite all the concubines and beauties in the harem, naturally they would not go out to accompany them, but they were just happy in the inner hall.

Xin Hui looked at the long list, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, he never expected that there were so many concubines in the seemingly empty Chu Palace, from the old Chu King and above, the concubines and concubines who were old enough were all over the famous families of the Chu State, and almost half of the famous families in the Chu State could see the corresponding surnames.

These old Chu kings, each of them are non-fuel-efficient lamps. Xin Hui looked at the past, and it was a little strange, the list was full of concubines, and there were even a few old empress dowagers who were already old, but none of the empress dowagers were still alive.

Look at the end, there are even some senior female officials, these female officials are real female officials, they live in simplicity on weekdays, but the rules, implementation, and maintenance of the Chu Palace are all implemented by them behind the process, they have existed since the first King of Chu, each with its own name, scattered in various palaces, and may not listen to it on weekdays. However, I heard that behind them are the concubines represented by various big families.

Compared with the two, the harem of the current King of Chu is quite shabby, not including a few concubines and concubines who came from Chen State with her.

Xin Hui secretly felt a little weak, as if he had gained a lot of undeserved benefits for nothing, but more of it was an indescribable joy swaying from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that she thought of the woman who was only a few slender and weak, and couldn't help but sigh again, and turned her head to look at the bronze mirror.

King Chu Xijing, the people in Yuxiu Palace walked on tiptoe, they couldn't hear the sound, the palace maids she carried were left in Kunhe Palace by the King of Chu, and they couldn't find a staff officer at the moment, a person dressed up was really boring, and the left and right were idle, Xinhui sent someone to invite the delicate maids.

The unhappiness of the Mu family sisters was on their flat faces, but the concubine of the Xin family was a little flattering, she showed several clothes sent by the embroidery workshop in the palace one by one, and only listened to the opinions of a few people with an open heart.

This time, the Mu family sisters were a little interested, and took a closer look at several fabric styles one by one, and finally chose a set of moon white clothes, Xin Congying looked at it left and right, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then chose a set of dark red.

The rest of the people had their own choices, and all the women vied with each other to recommend the clothes in their hands, and the room was chattering for a while, so it was not lively.

Xin Hui smiled and watched them turn over, and finally after the selection, there was only a set of light and delicate deep clothes left on the bed, with a wrong gold carving and jade inlaid as a hook belt, solemnly with a bit of feminine gentleness, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a smile.

It was still early to choose the clothes, and seeing that a few people didn't seem to have the intention of going back, Xinhui was in a rare mood, so he took it upon himself to leave the women to eat in the palace.

Although the lunch is simple, the amount is absolutely sufficient, but the eating speed of the women is really difficult to compliment, Xin Hui has already begun to serve the third meal, and some people have only moved a little bit in the bowl, during the banquet, the food is silent, but there is nothing to do, but Xin Hui has a toothache when he sees a few people counting rice grains one by one.

She naturally knew what they were procrastinating for, so she pretended to be careless and said, "These days, the king is busy with state affairs, and he will not go back to the palace for dinner today

。 ”

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the speed of eating was much faster.

Probably because of Xinhui's gracious invitation, and it didn't seem to be majestic, but it was easy to speak.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and cocked his tail first: "Madam, the concubine heard some rumors today, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Mu Lianying looked at the one who picked his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xin Hui was drinking the soup slowly, and when he heard it, he said, "Whose rumors? ”

“…… It's about yours, ma'am. ”

Xin Hui immediately thought that when she and the King of Chu left the palace without permission, she heard the discussion in the teahouse, and couldn't help but lose her appetite, but it was rare for the other party to be so heartfelt, and she couldn't refuse directly, so she still patiently asked, "Good or bad?" ”

The beauty hesitated a little, seemed to be quite embarrassed, wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Xinhui with a pair of eyes, and just waited for her to ask.

Xin Hui immediately raised his hand: "Stop." The bad ones don't want to hear it. ”

“……”

"Ahem......" Mu Lianying choked on her own soup, coughed violently, and stopped for a while, she patted her chest and motioned for her sister to continue.

Mu Chengci smiled and said: "These words should not have been said to Mrs. Originally, but they are all the daughters of Chen Guo, and hearing such slanderous words against Mrs. makes the concubines feel really uncomfortable." ”

If she continues to talk like this, she will listen to this ugly word if she doesn't listen to it, Xin Hui sighed and pushed away the soup in her hand.

"If it's uncomfortable, why bother to make Mrs. Ben uncomfortable by speaking out? If you can't listen to it, it's just a matter of beating the rumor-monger out of anger. ”

Xin Congying said indignantly: "It's hateful here, the Qi people are still VIPs in the palace, and they don't understand half of the rules." ”

Mu Lianying had already eased up, and hurriedly fanned the flames: "That is, they keep talking about the abomination of Mrs., and they don't like the king's ......" As soon as the words came out, it seemed that he had just realized that he had said something unspeakable, and quickly covered his mouth.

"That's right, madam, the people of Naqi also say that your waist and abdomen are like wood, and you can't see your toes when you look down......" Thousands of words are omitted here.

Xin Hui couldn't help but congratulate himself that he was fast enough before, and he filled his stomach first.

A purple-clothed beauty took Mu Lianying's words, and then hugged him: "That is, I actually said that Mrs. is obese and vulgar, and she does not have the quality of Chu Guoxiu, which is really hateful, Mrs. doesn't know, when the concubine heard this discussion, her heart was simply angry...... Mrs. Tomorrow must wear that beautiful and unparalleled crown dress and slap this Qi person's face well. ”

"That's it, madam, the narrow-sleeved purple set chosen by the concubine is also quite imposing."

"The one that the concubine looks at is just right for the lady's unique temperament......"

It soon became the previous fashion promotion meeting.

Xin Hui took a breath, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Wang Shang said that he would pass through Ensi Lake from Izumotai in the afternoon to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Ah, madam, I suddenly remembered that there are still some embroideries on the concubine's body that have not been finished......" The beauty in purple was the first to react.

"Madam, the Buddhist scriptures that the Queen Mother asked for also told the concubine to send it over after copying it, and the concubine retired first

。 ”

"Madame......"

Soon, Yuxiu Palace became quiet again.

Xin Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look, there was still a person left beside her, it was the timid Xin Congying, she swallowed her saliva, she couldn't snatch others when she spoke, and the reasons were all said by others, at this moment, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of an excuse for scratching her heart and liver for a long time.

Xin Hui waited for a long time and sighed: "You go down first, I'm going to rest." ”

Xin Congying was pardoned, and immediately said goodbye and walked away.

Xin Hui burped from his stomach, turned around and went to the beauty couch, he really wanted to sleep when he was full, but I don't know, if these beauties go to the sun to bask in the sun today, will the water in their brains dry some?

When she slept in the evening of the afternoon, she woke up with a thin blanket on her body, and a lamp was lit in the house, but no one returned.

Xin Hui got up, it was hazy outside, watching the King of Chu talking to Yan Yin from a distance, the two stood not far away, the soft and brilliant sun of dusk fell on him, Xin Hui leaned on the threshold, and couldn't take his eyes off.

It was about Yan Yin who saw her, and he didn't know what to say to the King of Chu, he laughed, turned his head to look at Xin Hui, Xin Hui stood up straight with a weak heart, pretended to look at another place, and after a while, he turned his head to look again, and the two of them were nowhere to be seen.

She was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look around, but heard someone whispering in her ear, "Madame, are you looking for me?" ”

He usually doesn't like to be lonely in front of her, Xin Hui said stiffly: "Hey, I see that the weather is good." Why did the king come back? ”

King Chu looked slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Naturally, step back." ”

Xin Hui said angrily: "Tomorrow is the state banquet, and the king doesn't care if my homework is done well, so he doesn't worry about losing the face of the Chu State." ”

The king of Chu was quite helpful to this statement: "It is rare for Zhen'er to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and she begins to care about her husband's face." ”

He rubbed her somewhat messy hair: "It's okay, it's just a meal." It's just that some rules don't work, so what's the matter? ”

"But ......, "But you don't know that Qi people have now looked down on your wife and me."

"The venison in the ding, the dagger in the plate, these are just forms, the key is to see who the person who eats it, there is Zhen'er on the side, and no matter how disgusted it is, it can be tolerated."

Xin Hui's words were quite meaningful, and he couldn't help but look at them.

The king of Chu stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: "You don't have to listen to these annoying things, and you don't have to think about them." Always remember that just trust me, and you'll be fine. ”

He was originally tall, and at this moment he encircled her in his arms, and the aura of oppression and imprisonment came to his face.

Xin Hui felt that in a trance, she was like the thrush starling, rich and safe in a cage made of gold, but there was something missing.

But her eyes and lips preceded her thinking, raising the arc of a crescent-like smile.

The king of Chu raised his hand and blocked the door outside, and the wide hem of his robe reflected her face in the darkness, and then he bowed his head and kissed it gently.

Soon, after tomorrow, everything will be fine.
