Chapter 145 Words to appease
Because she had been safe and sound during this time, Su Wanqing thought that Shen Qingyi had changed her temperament, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile clearly, and sat down on the chairs on both sides with Princess An and Princess An.
A few people sat down, the queen took Shen Qingyi's hand, and continued to talk with the ladies under the seat, whether it was the New Year's Festival or not, after a short cold scene, the palace returned to the previous lively and harmonious atmosphere.
While talking and laughing, Su Wanqing lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Shen Qingyi's gaze.
She understands that here, she is still careful in her words and deeds.
Fortunately, the queen didn't seem to see her, so Su Wanqing didn't take the initiative to answer, and was always silent, but she also quietly observed everyone.
Before entering the palace, Su Wanqing heard Su Yuanyi say that Concubine Tong was not happy and did not come to today's banquet, because the other concubines lived in the palace, Su Wanqing had not seen a few, and she couldn't recognize them completely, and the princesses had nothing to do with her, so Su Wanqing did not pay attention to them.
As for the rest of the female dependents, not to mention the side, let's look at the wives of several county kings nearby: the concubines of the three princes are respectful and thoughtful to the queen everywhere, seemingly flattering, but they make people faintly feel unspeakably awkward; Princess An is polite and courteous, maintaining her usual friendliness and closeness to people; The sixth princess didn't talk much, and a few occasional words could make Su Wanqing realize that she was a clumsy and scheming woman, and she couldn't see anything from her attitude towards the queen; As for the Nine Princesses, they are weak and weak, and at first glance, they are the same as the Nine Emperor Princes, who are obsessed with poetry and books, and have no time to think about other books.
The woman in the backyard and the front yard are self-contained, what is the attitude of the princes towards the Shen family. At this point, it's a rough idea.
Su Wanqing thought about it like this, lowered her eyes and was silent.
Time flies. As the sky darkened, the palace maid stepped forward to light the palace lamp, and the hall was bright.
Su Wanqing always paid attention to everyone's conversations, but unconsciously, she noticed a woman who had never opened her mouth like her, dressed as a palace concubine, and looked about forty years old.
To know. In front of the queen, the concubine was not respectful, but the woman didn't care. This made Su Wanqing a little curious.
In the line of sight, the woman lowered her head lazily, her mind seemed to be completely absent from the things in front of her, and she occasionally raised her head. let Su Wanqing see her appearance clearly.
on that face. The traces of the years are not profound, and her still beautiful appearance is enough to see the peerless elegance of her youth, compared to the queen's thousands of phoenixes, perhaps this woman's beauty is better.
Just as Su Wanqing was thinking, everyone's topic unconsciously touched on the matter of the New Year's worship shrine.
This has nothing to do with Su Wanqing, but she can't help but raise her eyes, because at this moment, the queen's gaze is directly on her.
ββ¦β¦ It's a pity...... Only in the main palace. In order to be recorded in history, enter the back shrine, and be worshiped by future generations. The world's emperor has three thousand beauties. But who can remember the concubines of the past generations? The queen's lips opened and closed, and she sighed faintly, as if she was sorry for the countless women who disappeared silently in the deep palace.
"Why do aunts have to sigh for them, the main room is the main room, since ancient times, there is a difference between the dignity and inferiority of the concubines, and they can't mess up the rules, no matter how the concubine room is the light of the candle, how can it compete with the bright moon?" Shen Qingyi bent her lips and smiled, looking at Su Wanqing intentionally or unintentionally.
There was some silence in the hall for a while.
Although many of the ladies present were not in the main room, there were not many who were stupid and took the initiative to pick up words to make themselves unhappy.
Don't talk about the bottomless palace, just say that today's princely mansion, don't look at the scenery on the surface, the plain is very smoky, not even more peaceful than the battlefield, in such an environment, which boudoir woman has no twists and turns in her heart, how can she not understand who this is talking to?
Since it was an infighting in King Yi's mansion, they didn't have to get involved.
Realizing this, everyone did not answer as if nothing happened, waiting for the queen's reaction.
"As far as your mouth goes." The queen snorted lightly, glanced at her with disgust, but there was a faint smile on her lips, "You, this palace only hopes that you can give birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, and pass on the incense of the concubine to the fifth child, so that your father can rest assured." β
That's a clichΓ©.
It's just that the queen doesn't know what Shen Qingyi's current situation is, but Su Wanqing understands, and only feels that these words fall in his ears, which is really funny.
Before Shen Qingyi could answer, she suddenly walked into an inner servant from the outside, walked into the hall, stopped her steps, and saluted respectfully: "The slave greets the queen mother, the time has come, and the saint invites you to move to the Yuqing Palace." β
Hearing this, the queen put away her thoughts, smiled and nodded, "Well, this palace knows." β
After the attendant bowed and retreated, the queen brushed her clothes, stood up with Shen Qingyi's support, and said to everyone who followed suit: "Okay, let's go over." β
With that, she walked out of the main hall with her head held high.
The ladies answered "yes" and followed her.
Su Wanqing stood up and was about to leave, when suddenly, a deliberately lowered voice came from her ear, "If you come, you will be safe, the most important thing is to live well yourself, and you don't listen to the gossip of others." β
Hearing this, Su Wanqing's footsteps faltered, followed the prestige, and saw that it was the woman who had been silent who spoke to appease her, so she couldn't help but be stunned, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you." β
"Not necessarily." The woman glanced at her, smiled lazily, and walked forward past Su Wanqing.
In the sky, snowflakes fell, and the earth gradually turned white.
As soon as they came to the gate of the Yuqing Palace, they saw that the hall was full of red lights, and in the wide open main gate, there were faintly reflected dancing costumed dancers, and the sound of dance and music was curling around the beams, adding a brocade to this festive night.
The queen's sedan chair stopped.
With the support of Shen Qingyi, the queen walked towards the place where the sheng music came, and the rest of the ladies followed closely and entered the palace in turn.
On the main seat of the main hall, the emperor wears a bright yellow regular dress with a dragon out of the cloud pattern and sits upright, one side is not far from the queen's couch, the north and south sides of the main hall, each is four rows of several cases, sitting many royal relatives and nobles.
Seeing the queen enter the main hall, everyone stood up and saluted, and the emperor took two steps out and personally brought her into the banquet.
It wasn't until the emperor and queen sat down that everyone sat down, Su Wanqing's position was in the second row on the south side, adjacent to Shen Qingyi and the six princes, and in the row in front of her, there were concubines above the concubine position.
At this moment, the hall was already full, and the palace maids began to wear flowers to enter, and on the faces of everyone, they arranged wine, meat, vegetables and fruits.
Taking advantage of the palace maid walking, Su Wanqing turned her eyes and looked around the scene in the hall, it can be said that she has never seen most of the guests, and she can only judge the identity of the other party by the position where they are sitting.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped on a person.
In the sight, the woman who had just comforted her, how could she sit at the end of the front row?!
Su Wanqing was stunned, tilted her head slightly, and took a closer look, making sure that she was not mistaken, she was a little surprised.
This location...... is like a concubine, and she has only reached the concubine position at such an age, so it can be seen that she is not a favored concubine. (To be continued......)
