Chapter Forty-Eight: Yao Cai Nu
The Mid-Autumn Festival is nothing more than a day of reunion.
It's a pity that for Chu Xuan, it is not a day of reunion. No matter how vague her impression of home has become over time, it can't erase her sense of belonging to that place.
Chu Mansion is not her home. But Qi Ying's love for her is still vivid in her mind. She's a very protective person, there's no doubt about that.
However, although Qi Ying was promoted to a side room, she was not qualified to come to the palace to participate in this banquet. Mrs. Fang Cai Chu also knew the character of her granddaughter, and specially told her that Qi Ying was now helping Sun Yi take care of the housework. Now that Qi Ying can manage housework, it is naturally very nourishing, and Chu Xuan does not have to worry.
Originally, Chu Xuan also felt that it didn't matter if he didn't care about housework, and it was very troublesome to take care of it. Only after entering the palace did I know how many people wanted to get this palace power.
Chu Xuan was pondering, and the dishes had already been served. really responded to the sentence "The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars." ”
is so delicate that people can't get off the chopsticks, which shows that the queen and Concubine He are really thinking about it.
Concubine Yi raised her glass to toast first, and smiled coquettishly: "Concubine wishes the emperor eternal peace of the Holy Body, and may the world be peaceful."
Gu Jun also gave her face, and raised the wine bottle to take a sip.
This move made the concubines secretly hate, and they didn't toast earlier, which made Yigui Concubine out of the limelight this time. Later, some people came to toast one after another, but Gu Jun didn't accept it all.
Some concubines Gu Jun just hummed lightly without even raising their eyelids, while some concubines Gu Jun still took a sip of face.
It just so happened that Chu Xuan belonged to the latter.
Since so many people have gone to toast, she can't be disrespectful. Fortunately, Gu Jun didn't refute her face, and still took a sip.
But the women of life are concerned about this, and they all know the power of saying good things and the wind on the pillow in the palace. Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Xuan's treasury has a lot of things.
Now that the beautiful scenery is good, with delicious food and wine, how can there be less performances.
A good girl walked to the hall, and the woman who was embraced by everyone in the middle was wearing a red dress, and the flowers on her forehead also looked particularly enchanting, with a smile and a smile. makes people sigh, and she is a wonderful beauty.
Speaking of which, this woman is as beautiful as she is, but the harem is not without women who can match it. For example, Wen Jieyu and Chu Xuan, but Wen Jieyu is cold and noble, while Chu Xuan is bright and flamboyant.
The queen subconsciously glanced at Gu Jun when she saw this dancing girl, but saw Gu Jun leisurely looking at this dance, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved. She immediately lowered her head, thinking that she didn't know anything.
And when Chu Xuan saw this dance, what he paid attention to was not her person, but this dance. Qi Ying was a servant before becoming a concubine to Chu's father, and taught Chu Xuan to dance since she was a child. Even though Chu Xuan is no longer the original owner, the image of dance is still deep-rooted.
I have to say that she danced well, but she was not excellent. But maybe because the people of Lefang found a beautiful woman in order to please the emperor, it was really difficult for them.
However, the group of people in Lefang were not busy in vain, because Gu Jun still had a mind.
"You come forward." Gu Jun stretched out his hand and pointed at the man.
She stepped forward as she said, step by step, with an inevitable smile on her lips. She has been practicing in the music workshop for so long, just to wait for this day.
"What's your name?" Gu Jun stared at the people below.
"The slave's name is Zi Xiao."
"Zi Xiao ......" Gu Jun pondered, "Zi Xiao Hengdi is silent, sitting alone to the Yao window? ”
"It is the word Zixiao in this poem." Although Zi Xiao had been prepared, he was still distracted.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, Zi Xiao Hengdi was silent, and he sat alone to the Yao window? The lovesick song of Dai Shulun in the Tang Dynasty. There is nothing good about this sentence in this poem.
"Acacia?" Gu Jun became interested, "Since that's the case, let's register it as Yao Cainu." ”
Yao Cai Girl? This canonization is not unusual, but the title is unusual. In the harem, only Yigui Concubine has a title, and she has been showing off this for a long time.
Yao and Kun are both beautiful jade. - "The Biography of Confucius"
The original unique "Yi" now has an extra "Yao". undoubtedly provoked Yi Guifei's face to be bad, and she was the first to toast out of the limelight. Yao? With such a good title, she is not afraid of losing her life.
Zi Xiao didn't expect to be able to get the title, so he was naturally overjoyed, and then hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
From this point of view, it is false that Chu Xuan is not jealous. After all, her current title doesn't even have a single stroke. This Zi Xiao is a letter that has a title for the palace concubine, how can it not make people jealous.
If eyes can kill, the palace concubines present don't know how many times Zi Xiao has been stabbed and how many needles have been pierced.
However, it is a long time to come. What's more, this Yao Cai woman has a low rank, if it doesn't please the eye, you don't have to go to great lengths to design, just pull a reason at will.
With this episode, they didn't eat so comfortably at the banquet later, like chewing wax.
Chu Xuan is much more heartless than them, eating what he should eat and drinking. But it doesn't mean that Chu Xuan doesn't remember and doesn't care, how can someone like her who holds a grudge forget. It's just jealousy being pressed by reason, and selective amnesia.
There is no feast in the world.
This banquet also came to an end, and everyone was preparing to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. The mooncakes prepared in advance were also given to their mothers by the palace concubines.
Although Gu Jun sealed a Yao Cai girl today, she still rested in Fengluan Palace and shared it with the queen according to the ancestral system. He didn't want to be admonished by the civil officials in the court tomorrow and become a faint monarch who was addicted to beauty in their mouths.
Maybe today is destined to be a sleepless night, and news came from the leisurely Xuan of Zhong Cui Palace, saying that Jiang Cai was pregnant. This news shocked many people.
And Gu Jun was indeed happy, because although there were few concubines who were pregnant with the dragon heir, they were not nothing, but there was no one who could be born safely. It's not that he doesn't know the reason, but he just doesn't want to dig into it.
No one doesn't like to have a successor, so that night Gu Jun made an order to Jin Jiang Wanyan to be a beauty.
With such a toss, Gu Jun naturally had no interest at all. The night with the queen was just covered with a quilt and slept. As for the queen, she was also bitter when she heard the news, and she also wanted to conceive a dragon heir and give birth to a son-in-law. It's just that the sky doesn't treat her well, no matter how many prescriptions she prescribes and how many medicines she drinks, it won't help. However, the eldest son must come out of her belly!
The queen's clenched hand had been punctured by her own carefully trimmed nails, but she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain.
