Eighteenth Palm Song and Dance
As soon as the banquet began, the teaching department began to have dance music coming up, and then the people in the imperial dining room in the harem began to have palace maids come to serve food in front of various cases.
Everyone was enjoying the song and dance seriously. This year's songs and dances are all new dances and new music rehearsed by the Department of Education. Wen Hui hasn't seen any of this either. From the time she walked through, because she was a girl in the back house, she couldn't go to the singing and dancing hall to watch, so she never had the opportunity to see this ancient song and dance. At this moment, it seems that it is still very beautiful, those dancing girls are all beautiful and skilled, this kind of pure natural beauty is not available in Wen Hui's previous life. The skills of these dancers are also solid, and their every move is beautiful. Therefore, Wen Hui watched it with relish.
This may be the best dancer of this era, watching the water show flying all over the audience, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but sigh that he is still royal rich. You see these kabukis, they are all young and beautiful, with slender waists, beautiful appearance, and skilled skills, which are not cultivated overnight, this should be exercised from a young age. Not to mention, just the brocade dance costumes worn by these kabukis, the gold and silver jewelry on their heads and hands is a big expense, which is different from the performers that Wen Hui saw in her previous life, and those singers and dancers in her previous life also wore shiny jewelry, but most of those are man-made jewelry, many are made of acrylic, zircon, and even plexiglass, which are cheap and good, and the cost is not much. However, these materials are not available in this era, so these Kabuki people wear real money on their heads and hands, and it really costs a lot of money for ten minutes to please the people in power.
Chen Wenhui was calculating how much this song and dance would cost in this little family, when she heard Princess Lichuan say: "These Kabuki performances are also good, but the dancing posture of this dancing girl is far worse than that of the concubines in the palace." ”
Wen Hui didn't know this, Wen Hui asked, "Who is Concubine Li?" Didn't come to the banquet? ”
Princess Lichuan said: "Concubine Lichuan is a harem favored by her father, she was born from a low background, and she is the dancing queen of this sect division, but she was born as a dancer, and her dancing posture is called beautiful, let alone her father." It's just that we can all be fascinated by it. When her father first got her, she was also very favored, but after a long time, she never gave birth to a child, and her natural grace declined. In addition, Concubine Wande often deals with her, so her life in the harem is not very good now, if it were not for her mother's kindness and frequent care of her, maybe she would have died of the serious illness this autumn, where could she still come to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. ”
Wen Hui was embarrassed to hear it, this is a typical harem failure to compete for favor, it's really bloody. It's just that his eldest aunt is so kind to take care of such an ordinary disgraced concubine. It's really suspicious of her intentions. It's certainly not as simple as being kind.
Just thinking about it, the singing and dancing had stopped, Wen Hui found that a gaze fell on her, and she hurriedly looked up, it was not good. I'm really afraid of something, it turned out that the emperor was looking at her. I saw that the emperor looked at her, and then said a few words to Chen Guifei beside her, Chen Guifei looked at her with a smile, and also said a few words to the emperor. Wen Hui's heart was ringing for a long time, which was really not a good sign.
In the midst of his thoughts, the next part has begun. The emperor first toasted his uncle, then his eldest sister and eldest princess, and then the princes and princesses toasted to the emperor.
Princess Lichuan went to toast, and brought her three children with her. Xu Qing's cute appearance is very much to provoke the love of the emperor and Chen Guifei. The emperor even carried Xu Qing to sit between himself and the concubine, and teased her for a while. Everyone inside and outside the main hall envied Princess Lichuan. is really favored by the emperor, and even her daughter is also favored.
Of course, when Xu Qing returned to the middle of his seat, he still brought a lot of rewards from the emperor and concubines. Chen Wenhui smiled and teased Xu Qing: "Little princess." You went out for a while and got rich. ”
Little Xu Qing didn't understand what it meant to be rich, but she thought it was a good thing, and she was very happy, and said happily: "Get rich, get rich." "It's so cute.
Liu Yan also took his concubines and concubines to toast the emperor and concubines. Maybe it's because the emperor loves the concubine, and Aiwu and Wuxia are also very kind to Chen Wenfeng, and they also praised a few words, which is nothing more than saying that Chen Wenfeng is a virtuous helper and a good daughter-in-law of the royal family. These few words immediately made Chen Wenfeng's position stable and arrogant. The emperor loves Chen Wenfeng's son very much, after all, this is his first grandson, and he is very cute, wearing the little robe of the prince, like a little doll, which is naturally very cute. The emperor and the concubine were very fond of it, and they also gave many gifts.
Returning to his seat, Chen Wenfeng squinted his eyes and glanced at Concubine Bai, Bai Yujing was very angry in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face, she just lowered her head and took a sip of wine, and the warm imperial wine was like a fire in her stomach. Bai Yujing thought in her heart: No wonder people say that mothers are more expensive than children, this Chen Wenfeng gave birth to a good son, not only won the respect and favor of the prince, but also fell well with the emperor. It can be seen that no matter how capable this woman is, no matter how high her position is, no matter how supportive her mother's family is, if she doesn't have a son, it will be a bubble. It's a pity that he only gave birth to a daughter, if it is a son, he can also compete with Chen Wenfeng. Now it is far more difficult for me to be in the house than when I was in Jiangnan. In the capital, Chen Wenfeng's friends and friends are all over the social field, and every time there is a banquet, the prince is always used to taking Wenfeng out. There is no way, although Bai Yujing is also from a family, she stays in the clan land all the year round, and most of the celebrities in the capital don't know her. That's it, in the mansion, even the concubine Wang Yaozhen gave birth to a son, and her status was naturally shaken. And now there is a young, lively and pretty new side concubine in the house, Ma Fang Concubine, she is the same position as herself, but younger. In addition to the concubines on the side of the horse, there are many new concubines in the house, all of whom are young and beautiful, and they all have backstage backgrounds of different sizes. Therefore, Bai Yujing deeply felt the crisis.
Thinking of this, Bai Yujing couldn't help but put her eyes on Chen Wenhui, who was talking to Princess Lichuan's daughter on the seat of Princess Lichuan. If it weren't for the help of this little girl and her parents, the Bai family would not have been able to grow cotton in the northwest, and she would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the palace so quickly. However, at this time and that time, the princess was stupid, and she didn't know how to make friends with her uncle's family, so she wanted to put on a stinky shelf, and the money from the concubine naturally annoyed the Xiao Chen family. Now that the power of the Xiao Chen family is getting bigger and bigger, after Chen Wenfeng suffered a loss, he naturally changed, and began to get close to the Xiao Chen family at any cost, after all, they are related by blood, and after Chen Wenfeng's can make up for it, the relationship will naturally be good. Now that she is in difficulty, will Xiao Chen's family still help her?
Bai Yujing was thinking in her heart, there was another person who was also looking at Chen Wenhui with vicious eyes, and this person was Chen Wenjin. She attended the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet as she wished, and specially dressed up flowers and branches to set off her beautiful beauty even more beautifully. But when she arrived at the main hall, she found that the seats in her house were so far away from the central passage, and then looked at the people in the two rows in front of her, there were her lobby sisters, there were her little cousins, and among the sisters, she always thought that she was the best. Isn't it? Although there are six girls in the Chen Mansion, there are only three of them, one is Wen Feng, one is her, and one is Wen Hui, although Wen Hui is a concubine, but Wen Hui's father is a concubine, so it cannot be included in the list of concubines. There are only two left, her and Wen Feng. Although Wen Feng is from the big house, the big house has always been unpopular, and his uncle often gives the eldest lady no face. Only the second room of his own house is most loved by his grandmother, his mother is from the Li family, and he is the talented daughter of the Li family and the Chen family. Noble status, noble birth. Not to mention, in terms of daily expenses, the eldest lady doesn't care about the family, the dowry is not much, and she is not favored, so her life is tight, and Wen Feng's clothes and jewelry are rarely added except for the ones issued by the public middle school every year. Look at yourself again, because of her mother's housekeeping, it can be said that the entire Chen family except for her grandfather and grandmother has the best supply, and there are countless clothes and jewelry, and when she attends the banquet between those celebrities, she is very showy with her excellent beauty, excellent family background, new clothes and jewelry, and talent for painting and writing poetry. At that time, the big sister was not comparable to her.
However, the sisters are all married, the eldest sister actually became a princess, now the royal daughter-in-law, and may become an empress in the future, look at her, although she has become the wife of the noble family, but the mother-in-law is very critical of her, her husband often spends all day drinking, and there are a lot of concubines in the mansion, these are piled together, at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Chen Wenjin is completely angry. Why is it that the same girl from a family, why can she only sit in this back seat to deal with all kinds of difficulties from her mother-in-law? Why didn't she have those officials and relatives to greet her?
Chen Wenhui didn't know about her third cousin's mental journey, and at the moment she was dealing with the little Haiqing princess Xu Qing, who had a lot of problems. How can this little cute baby have so many problems? It's really 100,000 whys, in comparison, her brother Xiao Zhengtai is calm and looks very sensible.
When Chen Wenhui was interacting with Xiao Xu Qing, a eunuch suddenly came to her side and said to her: "Miss Chen, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang summoned you to come over for questioning. ”
Chen Wenhui was taken aback, she was really afraid of something, if it was possible, she really didn't want to face the emperor, this is the biggest Boshi in the world, and she can make all her efforts come to naught at any time. But passive resistance is useless, let's think about getting through this.
