Chapter 63: All Rejoice
The Queen Mother had a calm face: "Concubine Xue is pregnant with a dragon heir, and it is inevitable that she will be flustered and confused in case of trouble." Come, take them down to rest. ”
Seeing this, Concubine Shu had a bad heart, she originally planned to deliberately let the palace maid knock over the wine jug to wet Liu Ruyue's dress after the gift, and take advantage of this to implement the plan to let Concubine Xue have a miscarriage. And although Concubine Xue looks arrogant and brainless, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Since coming to the birthday banquet hall, there has been no water from beginning to end.
However, the opportunity came out of his own creation.
She hurriedly stopped: "Queen Mother, the ink blossoms, the butterflies come true, after all, no one has ever seen such a magical thing." Concubine Xue just exclaimed for a moment, and it was understandable that she lost her voice. Why not keep her, so that the little prince who has not yet been born will also be happy. ”
For the concubine, the Queen Mother didn't like it. Since the emperor accepted the concubine, the relationship between the emperor and the queen began to stalemate. The queen was appointed by the emperor himself, and her family background was also quite powerful in the court. And Concubine Shu is just a woman from the people, with no power and no power. If it's a safe one, it's fine, but Concubine Shu is a restless one.
However, in the early years, the queen did too ruthlessly, which directly involved the issue of the imperial heir. No matter how messy the harem is, she doesn't care, but she just can't tolerate someone attacking the emperor's heir. As a result, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen was also estranged.
The emperor didn't want to embarrass the queen mother, but he didn't want to hurt the concubine's heart, so he immediately spoke.
"Xue Fei doesn't need to panic. How can there be a zài demon in this world, if you really want to compare it, it is more appropriate to call it a fairy. Mother, what do you think. ”
The queen mother saw that the emperor had the heart to help Concubine Shu, and suppressed the displeasure in her heart: "Liu Xiaoyuan is also a filial piety, tonight's ceremony, the mourning family is very happy." ”
Liu Ruyue smiled: "Concubine Xie Emperor praises falsely, and Empress Dowager Xie appreciates it." ”
Concubine Shu's heart jumped violently after hearing this, she knew that if she didn't stop it, she would really let Liu Ruyue succeed.
"According to the concubine, Concubine Xue still drank a bowl of sweet soup to suppress the shock, so as not to shout again and lose the royal face."
Concubine Xue, who came over, snorted coldly, and she wondered how Concubine Shu would be kind enough to help her, it turned out that she wanted to ridicule her. The frightened and angry Xue Concubine had long forgotten her vigilance and directly picked up the small bowl prepared on the long table.
The queen looked downcast: "Wait." Concubine Xue is pregnant with a dragon heir, and the sweet soup is cold, so it is not suitable for the stomach. Jingxiu ordered someone to re-serve the dishes that had already been hot. ”
"Yes, sissy."
Under the long sleeves of the concubine, ten fingers are clenched. Thousands of calculations have missed the queen's stubble, she is worthy of being the queen, and she even came up with the salary draw at the bottom of the kettle, I am afraid that she has been staring at Concubine Xue in the dark for a long time!
The good birthday banquet became such a situation, and the dignitaries and nobles in the hall looked at each other and were silent. There are also most people who have the mentality of watching a play, and the battle of tongues of the harem concubines is not something that everyone can be lucky enough to see.
The willow Ruyue below had bright eyes, and she didn't feel tight or embarrassed at all, and stood in place generously. The emperor glanced at it, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
"Okay, today is the birthday of the mourning family." The Queen Mother waved her hand in disgust: "The mourning family is curious, how can Liu Xiaoyuan make the flowers in the painting bloom, and how to make the butterflies in the painting come alive." ”
"Back to the Queen Mother. The concubine can make the painting bloom, but she has done a little trick on the ink and paper. After all, this is a long-lost craft, and if you are interested in it, the concubine will go to the Yongshou Palace tomorrow to disturb you. As for the blue butterfly...... "Liu Ruyue pretended to take out the glass vial from her sleeve, the bottle was about the size of a palm, and the cap was tied with a rope: "The blue butterfly is actually prepared by the concubine a long time ago, and the concubine is not talented, so she can only come up with such a method." ”
With such an explanation, everyone suddenly understood. If you think about it, you don't think it's so magical.
Liu Ruyue's eyes swept around, and she curtsied to the Queen Mother: "It's summer, and it's the season when the lotus lake flowers bloom." The so-called Liansheng lotus seed, Concubine Xue happened to be pregnant with a dragon heir, which is a good omen. The concubine took this opportunity to present the blue butterfly lotus picture, wishing the queen mother happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, longevity than the Nanshan immortal pine, blessing and double happiness, and the children and grandchildren are full of auspiciousness. ”
The Queen Mother's face was full of pleasantness: "Good! Good. Liu Xiaoyuan is really sensitive, ingenious, and the mourning family is full of surprises. Your Majesty, since Liu Xiaoyuan is so painstaking, after all, she is your concubine, and you don't treat others badly. ”
The emperor squinted his eyes: "Erchen understands." Come on, reward. ”
……
After the gift, there were concubines competing to show it. Liu Ruyue returned to her position, and when she looked up, Concubine Fang was sitting on the seat with a gloomy expression.
didn't wait for a while, it was the turn of Concubine Mei to play. The center of the hall dances and is extremely feminine. However, with the dream dance shadow of Shangshu's daughter before, everyone just thinks it looks good.
At the end of the dance, Concubine Mei first threw her eyebrows and saluted the emperor as usual.
The queen sat on top, her hand wearing a phoenix armor and swinging back and forth.
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the whole palace is dressed up in new clothes, so it is good to go to bad luck. Mei Concubine, your dance dress looks familiar to this palace. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Concubine Mei's eyes, and sure enough, there was something wrong with her purple clothes.
She bowed her head and obeyed: "Back to the queen's mother, most of the concubines' dance clothes are of this color, which fascinates your eyes, and the concubines are deeply sorry for this." ”
The queen mother gave a cold eye, and the queen, who just wanted to speak, was silent.
The birthday banquet ended perfectly, and the concubines returned to their respective palaces through a special passage through guò under the guidance of the palace maid and eunuch. At the end of the day, your father-in-law found the small table and whispered a few words, and the small table immediately left happily.
In Yuyue Palace, Liu Ruyue was lying on the table softly, and Lu Yin was busy preparing hot water.
"Little Master...... Little Lord! Overjoyed, the emperor said that he would rest in Yuyue Hall today. ”
Liu Ruyue's eyebrows curled: "Small table, the emperor is resting in Yuyue Palace, how do you feel that you are more excited than me." ”
"Of course, the small ones are mainly favored, and the minions have also gained face in this harem."
Liu Ruyue raised her eyebrows, it seems that the process of dealing with the small table should be accelerated.
"Little master?"
"Small table, you let the palace maids and eunuchs outside the house go to rest. You have to work this matter, and if the emperor comes later, you have to spread it loudly. ”
"Yes, the minion is going."
The small table turned around happily, and only a few steps out of the courtyard did not appear in surprise. He curtsied and spoke.
"The Emperor...... The emperor, the minions see the emperor. ”
"Huh? Go down and rest. The corners of Qianyimo's lips turned up: "There is no need to keep vigil tonight." ”
"Yes, slave Emperor Xie."
The small table hesitated to say it out loud, looking down at the situation in front of him, and he shrunk his head and decided to go to Green Yin for comfort.
Inside the house, Liu Ruyue noticed that someone pushed the door and entered, and without thinking about it, she knew that it was Luyin. It's just that today's green sound seems a little abnormal? I didn't hear the sound of pouring water. Sensing that the green voice slowly came behind her, the corners of Liu Ruyue's mouth curved slightly, planning to make a good teaser, who made her feel good today.
"Green Yin, so rubbing, don't you really plan to take a bath with me, don't be thin-skinned and blushing later!"
