Before leaving the Yunfu Palace, passing through the trail, Liu Ruyue happened to meet Mei Concubine.

At this time, Concubine Mei looked at Liu Ruyue with some surprise. In my impression, Liu Ruyue's dress has always been very plain and elegant, but now she has changed her style, and there is a way that the peach blossoms on the human face reflect red. The light yarn looks simple but the workmanship is exquisite, which makes people fascinated.

"My sister also has a unique flavor when she dresses up well, no wonder she is full of confidence in tonight's birthday banquet."

Liu Ruyue was also very emotional, the purple dress in front of her, and the blooming purple kite on the light yarn was beautiful. It is said that purple is difficult to control, and I have to say that purple clothes are very suitable for Mei Concubine. The tender white skin is fully revealed, the body is as soft as a boneless, and the whole body exudes a faint charm all the time.

"Sister, I'm afraid you have put a lot of thought into this outfit, and it's really beautiful."

Concubine Mei was in a good mood, she liked this clothing very much when she saw it, and it was very suitable for herself.

"Sister Xie's praise, since we met, it is better to walk together."

"Nope. Dressed like this, this is the first time the concubine has seen it. Liu Ruyue glanced at Biqing: "Walking with my sister, I'm afraid it will be covered by your elegance." The concubine is one step ahead of this, please forgive me. ”

Biqing's eyes flickered, she always felt that Liu Ruyue seemed to have discovered herself, but this was completely impossible.

"Master, Liu Xiaoyuan must be jealous of you. She doesn't look as good as you no matter how much she dresses, and tonight will be a good time for you to shine in the harem. ”

Concubine Mei's body suddenly settled, she knew that Bi Qing was the queen's person, which Liu Ruyue had already reminded her, and she also confirmed it. Now, Liu Ruyue's words, she always feels that something is wrong.

Dress? Concubine Mei lowered her eyes. By the way, she had never seen a concubine wearing purple clothes in the palace. Concubine Yan's bright red, Yi Jieyu's orange and yellow, and even Concubine Shu's usual clothes are all bright colors, but there is no purple!

"Master......"

"Biqing, let's go back to the Hall of Mercy."

Biqing's heart jumped: "Master, why is this." ”

A cold glance passed, and Bi Qing was silent.

The birthday banquet of the queen mother was not only for the harem concubines, but also for the courtiers, and some of the invited concubines and officials were held at the same time in other palaces.

This night was not only an opportunity for the concubines, but also for officials from all sides. There are still some women in their family who have failed to choose a show girl and are almost past the age of a show girl, if they can take this opportunity to be favored by the emperor in one fell swoop, it would be the best.

Liu Ruyue sat down, looked at it, and found that there were actually quite a lot of concubines in the emperor, and she didn't know more than half of them. There were more than thirty concubines seated before her, and this was not counting the ones behind her.

The concubines have a special seating area for concubines. The sound of the piano sounded, and the hall was suddenly quiet. Your father-in-law stood in the middle and loudly announced the matter of tonight's banquet. First, there were singing and dancing performances, then congratulatory gifts from the powerful people of the DPRK and China, and then the second half was the active time for the concubines. In the meantime, you can sing and dance, you can write poems and paint, up to three hours.

After the announcement, the princess stepped back, and the dancers appeared in a well-trained appearance. They all worked hard to perform, hoping to be favored by the emperor or any big official. At the end of the dance, the dancers returned disappointed, and the most disappointed was the dancer standing in the center.

Another piece of music sounded, and the next one on the stage was a singer.

……

The invited dignitaries and nobles in Beijing were all stunned. The whole scene was joyful and lively.

"Little master, you look at the left, that one seems to be a concubine."

Liu Ruyue looked forward, just by turning sideways, she could tell that person was a concubine. It's just that at this time, the concubine changed into a light red flower palace dress.

"Little master, if you didn't remind her at the time, she wouldn't have changed her clothes, it's a pity."

"It can only be said that she is ruthless and decisive, and she is willing to give up this opportunity so lightly."

Suddenly, all the lights around the temple went out. Before you can exclaim, the melodious sound of the piano sounded accompanied by a cool singing. Everyone held their breath, and a woman danced in the dark, and the ribbon of her long skirt fluttered softly, like a fairy in a painting.

'Dengdengden' was lit with a high lamp, and the whole hall was bright again. But all eyes were on the woman, and no one cared if the light was still on.

At the end of the song and dance, the woman stepped forward with a small step, her delicate face reflected red.

"The concubine of the courtier, Shangshu, the Xia family, has seen the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen mother."

Shang Shu, who was sitting on the seat, laughed and stood up and saluted, and the accompanying servants followed.

"Weichen see the emperor, see the queen mother, see the queen mother. This is the little girl specially embroidered for the Queen Mother's longevity clothes, on the top of one hundred and eight different longevity word writing, are the little girl carefully made, I wish the Queen Mother the Queen Mother a longevity than Nanshan, ten thousand blessings and health. ”

Aunt Jingxiu next to her went down to present the shroud, the Queen Mother looked at it, smiled and nodded, and the saint was happy.

"The moon is shy of the daughter, and the fish and geese are sunk. The singing and dancing are extraordinary, the female celebrity is outstanding, and she deserves the name of the first talented woman in Beijing. Come on, reward. ”

Xia Wanqing, who was beside Shangshu, saluted and thanked her shyly. All the concubines were vigilant when they saw this scene, this woman was a fierce enemy!

Seeing that the emperor seemed to intend to include her in the palace immediately, the queen's eyes sank.

"Bengong thinks that this woman is quite good, and her mind is clear. When we come to next year's draft, we look forward to seeing each other again. ”

One sentence blocked Xia Wanqing's hope of entering the palace at this moment, and Concubine Shu, who was against the queen, couldn't agree when she saw this.

"With such a beautiful woman, it would be a good thing if she could enter the palace in the coming year."

Xia Wanqing's face suddenly turned pale, and she pulled Shangshu's father beside her. Shangshu raised his long sleeves and saluted first.

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, Wanqing will be sixteen at the end of this year. The little girl asked herself if she was talented and beautiful, and she was thinking about entering the palace, but the minister really didn't want her to be unhappy all day long, so she had to be cheeky and beg for mercy here. ”

After all, it was the Queen Mother's birthday, and Qian Yimo didn't want to upset the Queen Mother, so he turned to look at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads in her hand, took a sip of tea, and put it down in disgust. Clear tea is the best famous tea prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But no matter what kind of famous tea it is, as long as you are used to drinking the flower tea sent by Liu Ruyue with aura, you will feel inferior.

"Since this is the case, I will leave her in the palace, so that I can accompany the emperor."

"The Queen Mother!"

Without waiting for the queen and Concubine Shu to stop her, Concubine Yan, who was quietly present, immediately got up. In the past six months, the emperor has finally been able to go to see her. If she recruits concubines into the palace now, and then a new round of drafts in half a year, she will be able to see the emperor less often.

The Queen Mother looked at it and sighed secretly in her heart. Concubine Yan has a pure temperament, and she has been pampered since she was a child, which is really not suitable for the intrigue of the deep palace. Although she doesn't like Concubine Yan's innocence, she is always her niece, and she is obedient. As long as she doesn't make big mistakes on weekdays, she will still protect her.
