Chapter 24 Watching the Theater
Since Concubine He ran a fairly successful practice, she has been more active in the affairs of the six palaces. Seeing this situation, the queen really hated the root of her teeth, and even Song Jieyu, who was saved at that time, didn't treat her very well.
This is not? Concubine He plans to invite all the concubines to watch the play together.
It's a pity that Ren Yufu is so good at talking, Chu Xuan just doesn't want to go. Why? Because not to mention that this singing is boring, and it is also babbled by a group of men with heavy makeup, you must know that the phenomenon of patriarchy in ancient times was very common, otherwise where did the three wives and four concubines come from, women are not allowed to go out and show their heads. What's more, the mage that Concubine He invited had ruined a lot of good things for Chu Xuan, but it made Chu Xuan feel distressed for a while. Naturally, there is no interest in going to see any drama at this time.
Concubine He is not annoyed, now she can't be angry for this little thing, if she loses a big thing because of a small loss, picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon will be a sin. If Chu Xuan doesn't come, she won't come, and she is not the only one in the harem.
Concubine He's play was also done in full swing.
Wang Huanyi was also happy for a long time with the invitation, her current position couldn't go to Fengluan Palace to ask for peace at all, so she could only kowtow and come back. She is in the palace, and she is not even a role. Even if she had already reported to the people in the worship room, her health was almost better. The green head card has been hung up, but the emperor has never been to Jiangxue Xuan, so he has no impression of her at all.
When she was inspired to be the "heroine", she found that she had never seen the male protagonist at all except for the draft. Wang Huanyi panicked suddenly, but couldn't find any way out.
This invitation may be a good way out.
Concubine He sat on the seat and watched all the concubines come one after another, except for Chu Xuan and Concubine Lin, who had said in advance that they had not come, everyone else accepted the invitation.
Everyone sat down, but they waited left and right, but they didn't wait for the queen. Waiting for the queen's personal maid Zhuyu, I saw her walk into the hall unhurriedly, and saluted Concubine He in an orderly manner: "Concubine He, the queen's mother is not feeling good today, I'm afraid I can't come here to accompany everyone to watch the play."
When Concubine He heard this, she clenched the handrail tightly, and forced a smile: "It's okay, since the queen mother is unwell, she should also go to a doctor to take a good look, I can rest assured when I wait."
Although Chu Xuan and Concubine Lin did not give Concubine He face, the queen was a stubborn dismount. Anyway, Chu Xuan and Concubine Lin can be regarded as having reported, but the queen's position is on the table, and suddenly she can't say it. But as a queen, what can she do?
Concubine He sent Zhuyu away, and when she turned around, she asked someone to remove the queen's position, which was really an eyesore to watch. It's a pity that there is always a short-sighted one to mock two sentences.
Concubine Yi Gui twisted her handkerchief to cover her lips and sneered: "It's a coincidence, it just so happens that the queen's mother is unwell today, and it is really in vain that Concubine He's mind is wasted."
Concubine He pushed back without changing her face: "No matter whether the queen's body is cool or not, this palace should have a heart."
Concubine Yi put down her veil: "It's rare for a mother to have this heart."
Concubine He sneered: "Isn't it that Concubine Yi doesn't have this heart?"
When Concubine Yi heard this, she was stupid and said, "The concubine naturally has this heart."
Concubine He curled her lips and smiled: "Since Concubine Yi has this heart, then the palace proposed to the queen mother that you go to serve the sick, and Concubine Yi must be happy."
"The queen is ...... But he's not seriously ill, but he's not feeling well. ”
Concubine He looked at Yi Guifei, and the more she said that her confidence became more and more insufficient, and the curvature of her mouth became deeper and deeper.
Concubine He signaled that the drama on the stage could be sung, and ignored the increasingly ugly face of Concubine Yi.
And the people underground either pretend to be deaf and blind, and selectively ignore the words of Concubine He and Concubine Yi, this high-level fighting method is not so good-looking. Wen Jieyu and Song Jieyu are also indifferent, and they have nothing to do anyway.
Wang Huanyi clenched his fist and looked excited, it turned out that the high-level fighting method was like this. Forgive her for never entering the temple to ask for peace, and she almost couldn't even recognize people.
The actors on the stage were babbling and singing, but the people in the audience had different thoughts.
Wang Huanyi was confused, she didn't even understand the drama, but others listened to it with relish.
Finally someone spoke, Ma Liangyi pointed to the drama above and smiled: "This play can be regarded as a hundred years old."
When Concubine He heard this, she nodded in response: "Well, this Fan Lihua sings really well." This palace remembers that Ma Liangyi was born in Jiangmen? More interested in this play. ”
Wang Huanyi heard that someone had finally spoken, and couldn't help but interject: "This play is so good-looking, it really deserves to be handled by the mother."
It's rude to interrupt someone else's conversation, but Concubine He still smiled: "Oh? Thanks to the king's chosen servants. ”
Ma Liangyi listened and laughed, this flattering Concubine He was too blatant. But Concubine He was very used, after all, she had just taken over the power of the six palaces and was affirmed by others, so she was naturally used.
After that, the king happily watched this scene and seized the opportunity to praise a few words, which made Concubine He frown. This is too obvious, but now is indeed the time for her to employ people.
Jiang Wanyan looked soft and weak, and it was hard to say whether this was really the case in her bones. It is naturally not easy to be favored, and in comparison, this Wang Huanyi seems to be much more brainless, but it is suitable for being a gunman.
At the end of the play, it is natural that each person will go back to each palace and go his own way.
Wang Huanyi was walking dejectedly, she flattered Concubine He so much when she watched the play, why did Concubine He look indifferent. This appearance doesn't look very pleasant, sooner or later it will be cannon fodder, and it's still pretending to be like this.
Wang Huanyi was complaining, and the big palace maid beside Concubine He followed. Wang Huanyi was almost not shocked when she heard the footsteps behind her, only to see her arrogant face, and her nostrils were about to soar to the sky: "Wang Xuanzhi, my mother is affectionate."
Wang Huanyi threw the words he had complained about just now out of the clouds, raised his feet and followed her. walked all the way to Zhongcui Palace, and saw Concubine He holding a tea cup and sipping tea.
When Concubine He saw her coming, she put down the teacup in her hand: "Come and make it."
Wang Huanyi was much more restrained: "Concubine Xie Niangniang."
The palace people next to him served the tea cup and pastries, and Wang Huanyi put his hands on his knees and didn't dare to touch them.
Concubine He looked her up and down without disguise: "If this palace is not mistaken, the king chooses to serve in Yanxi Palace?"
Wang Huanyi hung his head and replied, but his voice was not loud: "Yes."
"Yanxi Palace has no other concubines except for Wang Xuanzhi, it's really deserted."
"I ...... Concubines and concubines also think so. ”
"Why don't you choose the king to move to Zhongcui Palace? Hongu said hello to the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
"But it's up to the mother."
"Well, that's it. You go back and pack up your things and move to Yanqing Pavilion. ”
"Yes."
Concubine He stared at Wang Huanyi's departing back and squinted her eyes. This is much easier to use than Jiang Cairen, not as much as Jiang Cairen's eyes. Jiang Cairen's heart is big, as long as Wang Huan wants her heart to be not so big, and she is a little more comfortable, she doesn't mind helping her.
Jiang Wanyan leaned on the soft couch and pondered, which was very different from the usual pitiful and pitiful appearance. It was not that she didn't see Wang Huanyi leaving Jinse Hall just now, and when she remembered Wang Huanyi's various flattery for Concubine He when she was watching the play, she also saw it in her eyes.
It's not that she didn't think about taking refuge in Concubine He, but she was all bypassed by Concubine He. The more Jiang Wanyan thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she pulled out the elastic ink pillow on her side and threw it to the ground.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan insists on scooping the mung bean soup and eating it. The weather is also very hot, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun to supply ice, and the ice cubes for each palace have been formulated. However, for a person like Chu Xuan, who is afraid of heat, how can the ice cubes of the noble people be enough?
But her little life is very comfortable. Don't use her extra ice cubes to get anywhere, it's all deducted from others by the people of the Internal Affairs Office. Stepping on the low and praising the high, the people in the Internal Affairs Office have long been handy. Although Chu Xuan's position is not high, the number of times the emperor goes to her Yihuaxuan is more than a star and a half compared to going to some concubines with a higher rank than her. I didn't see that even Wen Jieyu was squeezed down, is Chu Xuan still staying in the favored list?
Anyway, Chu Xuan can do it as long as the ice cubes are enough, and the attitude she holds for others is that it doesn't matter to herself, whether they have enough ice cubes or not, whether it's hot or not? If she is not favored, maybe she will be the same as those people, and she will not be able to say anything after being detained. If you say fair in this kind of place, then you are wrong. Success or defeat, only those who stand at the top are worthy of fairness.
Wang Huanyi let people carry large bags and small bags and moved into Yanqing Pavilion, and Yanqing Pavilion had already been cleaned up. Even the ice cubes on the case were put up, and Wang Huanyi felt comfortable as soon as he entered the hall. You must know that she is not favored, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long deducted the few ice cubes in her case. But who will it be given after the deduction? It is nothing more than those who are favored and have a high position. So she could only fan hard in Jiangxue Xuan and open the window wide for a little coolness.
Wang Huanyi asked people to add the things they brought, and the people in the imperial dining room brought the food over. You must know that on weekdays, Wang Huan has to send someone to the imperial dining room to get food, and people may not give it or not, but this time it is really rare.
The meal was delicious compared to what she had eaten before. Duck in soup, lotus root with rice and rice, grilled elbow, assorted tofu, gold and silver tofu soup.
Such a good treatment made her make up her mind, and she followed Concubine He to eat meat first.
In fact, these were not arranged by Concubine He, but they were made up by the Internal Affairs Office itself. Who knew that this Wang Huanyi would actually get Concubine He's blue eyes and stay in Zhongcui Palace. For Concubine He's sake, they naturally want to make up for it. You must know that Concubine He is now in charge of the six palaces. Even the dishes served by the people in the imperial dining room are much better.
