Chapter 1 Blessing Birthday Banquet
In the east of the Dahuan Palace, there is a dilapidated palace, the top of the palace has a huge blessing bead such as jade, the spine of the hall is like auspicious clouds all around, it is said: there is yellow gas under the sun, the triple is like hugging, the name is Chengfu. Therefore, the name of this temple is called Chengfu Palace. Seven years ago, His Majesty the Emperor Jing Heng had held a funeral for a woman who had not entered the palace with the gift of the queen.
But in the past few days, the Chengfu Hall has been unprecedentedly lively.
"Oh, I heard that Concubine Meng is making trouble again!" A palace maid nested behind the stone lion under the stone steps of the Chengfu Palace, opened her eyes and looked inside.
"Trouble? What's the fuss? A little eunuch beside her was puzzled,
"I don't know?" The little palace maid glanced back at him,
"Your Majesty issued an order a while ago, saying that it was going to hold a birthday banquet for Concubine Yun in this Chengfu Palace! What kind of place is this Chengfu Temple? The places where the previous dynasties held the post-sealing ceremony, but when it came to our Dahuan, it has been abandoned, and even the queen's ceremony has changed places, you said that now Your Majesty is going to hold a birthday banquet for Concubine Yun here, can the masters in the palace not be angry? The little palace maid whispered to the little eunuch what was going on.
"The queen mother has a calm temperament, and she is secretly dizzy, but what kind of temperament does Concubine Meng have, as soon as she heard the news, she actually came to this Chengfu Hall to make trouble several times!"
"Why did Concubine Meng come to Chengfu Hall to make trouble, shouldn't she go to Your Majesty?" The little eunuch asked with a blink of cute eyes.
The little palace maid sneered, shook her head and said: "It's useless, even the minister of the front court wrote to His Majesty, and His Majesty laughed at it, and the queen mother was so angry that she couldn't say half a word, and she didn't dare to go to Your Majesty, let alone Concubine Meng!" ”
The little eunuch understood, paused, and muttered: "Concubine Meng Niangniang is just here to spread anger, and it's not us slaves who are embarrassed!" ”
The goddess of Xiaogong darkened her face and nodded, deeply agreeing.
The emperor's sudden will has been busy with the palace people inside and out, and Concubine Meng's toss does not know what it will become.
"However, today, Father-in-law Qiu got the news, and he actually selected a group of guards from the arsenal, nominally to help decorate the Chengfu Palace, but in fact, it was to prevent Concubine Meng from making trouble!" The little girl added with bright eyes.
The little eunuch was undeniable, and replied with a pout: "But the guard is a guard after all, how can I do anything to the mother!" ”
When the little eunuch said this, a "man" on the stone steps dressed in the uniform of an arsenal guard nodded.
The little eunuch is really understanding, if someone can be more understanding, it would be better to let her, the false guard who came to menstruation, go back to rest.
Yun Rong leaned against the pillar in front of the hall, clutching his stomach, and sighed inwardly.
Li Huan, who entered the palace with Yun Rong as a guard, saw that Yun Rong's face was not good, and strode over.
"Brother, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" Li Huan frowned and asked,
"It's nothing, I've eaten a bad stomach," Yun Rong glanced at him, "How is Concubine Meng?" Yun Rong asked,
"What else can I do, I'll find trouble when I see someone!" Li Huan shrugged his shoulders with a bitter expression.
Yun Rong rubbed his stomach, stood up straight, and said, "I'll go find her, you keep an eye at the door, don't let people in." He walked inside.
Li Huan responded, pressed the big knife on his waist, and stood at the door.
When Yun Rong entered, he heard Concubine Meng reprimanding inside:
"Are you a dead eunuch, blind with a vase? Did you see that the main palace was here, and deliberately bumped into it? "In the main hall of the Chengfu Palace, Concubine Meng crossed her waist and was reprimanding a little eunuch.
When the little eunuch heard Concubine Meng's name, he was already trembling with fright, and knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave maid accidentally missed, begging Concubine Meng to spare her life." ”
"Spare your life? Hmph, come on, drag this eunuch who doesn't have long eyes out and beat him to death! Concubine Meng rolled her eyes and made an angry will.
"Wait!"
A small but firm voice came from behind Concubine Meng.
Anyone dared to stop her from punishing the slave?
Concubine Meng turned her head in disbelief, raised her angry eyebrows, and looked at the voice, but saw a fair-skinned and handsome little guard standing calmly beside her,
"You were talking to Hongu just now?" Concubine Meng turned around and asked in a cold voice.
Yun Rong smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but look at this famous Meng Da beauty in the capital.
I saw Concubine Meng wearing a pale yellow dress, the skin on her cheeks was as clear as jade, a pretty cherry mouth was bright and dripping, and then she looked at the pair of affectionate apricot eyes, which were as terrifying as the waves of a secluded pool, her little face was pretty, and a few small gems on the tips of her hair were gently swaying, just like the master's scrutinizing eyes, shining with dazzling light.
She really deserves to be the first beauty in the capital! Yun Rong secretly praised.
Yun Rong gave Concubine Meng a light salute, and said slowly: "Niangniang, it is an ironclad fact that Concubine Yun Niangniang is going to hold a birthday banquet in Chengfu Palace, what is the use of Niangniang embarrassing these palace maids and eunuchs here?" ”
"Humph!" Concubine Meng snorted angrily, "You are an arsenal guard, and you dare to teach this palace a lesson?" Does this palace deserve to be hit by this little beast? Concubine Meng pointed to the little eunuch kneeling on the ground and said angrily.
Yun Rong glanced at the little eunuch and saw that he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but sympathize.
"Is Niang Niang really going to hurt a living life in vain to vent her personal anger?" Yun Rong still asked with a faint expression,
"Yes, Hongu willingly! You can handle it! Concubine Meng raised her head and didn't look at him, if it weren't for the fact that these guards were sent by His Majesty's side Gonggong Qiu, she would have sent him away.
"What if the mother kills him? I'm afraid that Concubine Yun will be even happier if she finds out! Yun Rong's voice was indifferent like a cold wind, which made Concubine Meng's face feel a bitter pain.
Concubine Meng was shocked and gritted her teeth, yes, Yun Rong was right, Concubine Yun would indeed be happier, happy that she jumped to her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. Concubine Meng bit her lip, but refused to accept this fact.
Yun Rong secretly looked at Concubine Meng's expression, smiled in his heart, lowered his head and approached Concubine Meng, and said in a low voice: "If the minister has a way to solve Niangniang's worries, can Niangniang spare this little eunuch!" ”
Concubine Meng Huo Ran turned around, and a cold light swept towards Yun Rong, with a sense of disbelief and anger:
"You little guard still dare to speak out, you are so foolish when this palace is not you?"
At this moment, the shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside the hall, which transferred Concubine Meng's anger.
"Concubine Yun has arrived!"
When Concubine Meng heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned, she glanced at Yunrong, did not speak, but raised her head, crossed Yunrong, stood in the hall, looked at the door, and looked at the posture of waiting for a moment.
"Slave maid to meet Concubine Yun!" The eunuchs and palace maids at the door saluted in unison.
"Get up!" The lazy voice exudes luxury and arrogance.
"Xie Niangniang!"
"It's Bengu's birthday in two days, are you all ready?" The sound of the door gradually approached and became clearer, swirling in Yun Rong's mind like an echo,
She trembled all over, tried to turn around, her black eyes were slightly raised, and she saw a woman in a long blue dress with a pretty headdress walking in, only to see her thin red lips bright and dripping, her cheeks were round like jade, and her smoky eyelids were slowly raised, and a light swept in her eyes, which was charming with a fierceness, so frightened that everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to meet them.
What a momentum!
The originally relaxed mood was dispelled away without a trace by this voice, and was replaced by indifference in the eyes.
The eunuch who was hiding far away because of Concubine Meng's troubles floated out of the side hall at this moment and hurriedly saluted.
"Back to Niangniang, the slaves are preparing!"
Concubine Yun raised her eyes and ignored him, but she was looking at Concubine Meng with a cold face in the hall, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she smiled: "Ouch, it turns out that Concubine Meng's sister is also here!" ”
Concubine Meng and Concubine Yun have never dealt with each other, and they are not easy to get along with, she had a cold smile on her face, and blessed Concubine Yun, and said, "My sister is going to hold a birthday banquet here, and I have to come to give my sister a snack!" ”
"Hehe..."Concubine Yun snorted lightly, sneering unconsciously,
I think you're here to make trouble!
"It's enough to worry about Your Majesty, where do you dare to bother your sister!" Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly,
Concubine Meng's eyes were even more cold, His Majesty favored Concubine Yun the most, this is a well-known thing, but she still had to show it off, which made Concubine Meng's eyes angry.
But Concubine Meng is not easy to handle, she suppressed her anger, the corners of her mouth curled, she sneered, and said slowly: "Where is it tiring, sister, I have the will of the Queen Mother, and I have come to help arrange the birthday banquet!" ”
After Concubine Meng finished speaking, Concubine Yun's face darkened, and she felt uncomfortable, although the current queen is the niece of the queen mother, but the queen mother's favorite is Concubine Meng in front of her.
Concubine Meng's name is Meng Wanchou, known as the first beauty in the capital. Her grandfather is the chief assistant of the court, coupled with Concubine Meng's national beauty and fragrance, her piano and dance skills are outstanding, and she has long been famous in the capital. She was fifteen years old and the suitors of her family broke through the door of the Meng family.
Meng Wanchou is a collection of thousands of favors, and she has been pampered since she was a child, so she has developed an arrogant temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth. In the face of a group of suitors, they were even more arrogant in refusal, until last year's Lantern Festival, Meng Wanchou met the emperor on the Yanque platform next to the Luohe River, and was impressed by the demeanor of Emperor Jingheng.
This incident caused a storm in the city, and everyone knew that the original suitor dared to rob the emperor of a woman, so no one in the capital dared to go to the Meng family to propose marriage. Meng Xiang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he didn't have any way to take her, if this was a son, then he would ask for a kiss for him, but this was still the eldest daughter, which made the Meng family's face go where to go!
His Majesty the Emperor himself is like no one else, only a little girl makes a small character, but the Queen Mother can't sit still, and in the end, she is the old man, and chooses Ji Na Meng as a concubine, and directly named one of the four concubines, which can make women inside and outside the harem jealous for a while.
What's more, Concubine Meng was married to the Queen Mother, and after entering the palace, she was all kinds of courtesy to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother liked her hearty and jumpy, and she was like a daughter.
Because of this, she is the only one in the palace who dares to compete with Concubine Yun openly!
Concubine Meng saw that Concubine Yun was unhappy, and she became even more proud.
Seeing that these two masters were tense and no one would let anyone, the eunuch in charge and the attendants in the hall couldn't help but sweat, but Yun Rong had a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a good look of play.
