Chapter 12 Encounters on Birthdays Hurt and Pain
The weak light of the afternoon sun illuminates the entire palace, dry and cold cold, the frozen sun also stiffens the eyes, today is the birthday of the queen mother, the palace is full of lights, red and green, so lively, adding a bit of warmth to this cold winter day, the palace people are wearing bright and festive colors, and walking is also in a hurry.
Qin Yuan is sitting in the Jinhua Palace, today she wore a bright pink face jacket skirt, the corner of the skirt is embroidered with a light blue butterfly that is about to fly, a few threads of lace are hooked on the front placket, and a gold belt is tied around the waist. The whole body exudes the sweet aroma of bluegrass, delicate and charming. It's just that his face is still a little pale, presumably because of the wind cold.
Aunt Lan came in from outside the door, shook the snow off her body, walked into Qin Yuan's side and said, "Master, the time has passed, and if you don't move to Chongde Hall to participate in the Queen Mother's Birthday Hall, it's too late." Qin Yuan answered, picked up the hand warmer beside him, got up and walked out of Jinhua Palace.
Qin Yuan sat in a silver-topped yellow-covered red-silk sedan chair carried by four people, listening to the cold wind outside the sedan chair, her heart seemed to be blown afloat, Qin Yuan was obedient to her father's words since she was a child, she never considered whether her father was right or wrong, she only knew that she obeyed, she knew that she was just a chess piece that her father placed next to the emperor, but so what? She could not appoint anything but marry a king with three thousand beauties, and she had no choice.
She felt very lonely and helpless, watching countless beauties around her cry for a man and a man laughing, she felt very desolate, if she married Prince Mu as his wife and became an upright princess, is she now spending time with Prince Mu and having a long relationship with her children?
Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of this, did she still have any qualifications to hope for now? The road under her feet is her own, blame herself for not having the courage at the beginning, blame her for falling in love with a person she shouldn't love, Hou Men is like a deep sea from then on Xiao Lang is a passerby, Qin Yuan has tears in her eyes, she hates, she is sad, she thinks Lang is heartfelt.
The sedan chair suddenly stopped, Qin Yuan quickly wiped the tears in her eyes, stabilized her mood and got off the sedan chair, and entered the Chongde Hall under the report of the eunuch.
Qin Yuan and the concubines sat in a row, and the opposite row was a row of officials, the seats were all sat in order of rank, Qin Yuan glanced at it, and suddenly stopped abruptly at Prince Mu, she not only pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, the color of mixed feelings in her eyes, so that people could not read whether it was joy or sadness, and since Qin Yuan entered the Chongde Palace, Prince Mu's eyes have never left Qin Yuan, at this moment the two looked at each other, Prince Mu gritted his teeth, how he hoped that at this moment, get up and rush to Qin Yuan's side, let Qin Yuan give her an explanation, but he couldn't.
Suddenly, Qin Yuan felt some pain in her chest, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough lightly, Prince Mu almost got up excitedly when he saw this, and his hands on his knees couldn't help but clench into fists, is she sick? Doesn't the emperor love her very much?
After Qin Yuan coughed lightly, her eyes were still looking at Prince Mu, and Prince Mu's worry and pity at the moment made her even more uncertain.
"Ahem...... cough ......", Qin Yuan heard the voice, it turned out to be a deliberate cough from his father, General Xue had a sharp look in his eyes at the moment, glanced at Prince Mu in front of him, and then looked at Qin Yuan unhappily.
Qin Yuan knew what her father meant, and then lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Prince Mu, and then the noble concubine beside her said, "Sister Hui should pay attention to her body, it's not good to feel cold in this cold weather." ”
Jing Gui Concubine smiled slightly, a pair of young and ignorant spirit beads, smooth as pearl and jade, her eyes were clear like a stream under the ice, not stained with a trace of dirt in the world, such a pure beauty is from Yiying Palace, with a third princess, named Wanting.
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Xie Jing cares, and my sister should pay attention." ”
Concubine Jing then smiled and said, "The emperor specially ordered someone to arrange for you to be at the top of the concubine position, so you can see how much my sister has a sacred heart." Qin Yuan then smiled and said, "It's just a seat order, no matter how much you are favored, you can't compare to Qiao Guiren." ”
Jing Gui Concubine raised her lips and said, "Now Qiao Guiren is really graceful and tolerant, hey, it's just that Qiao Guiren is too public, you see, she is sitting there with a posture, as if she has really sealed your concubine." Qin Yuan's eyes turned to Qiao Guiren, at this moment, Qiao Guiren was dressed luxuriously, his abdomen was slightly raised, and he was chatting with Ning Guiren beside him, Qin Yuan immediately replied to Jing Guiren, "I haven't seen Qiao Guiren for a month, but now I have a little more charm, and my clothes are much more glorious than before." ”
"The emperor can't wait to put all the good things in the palace in the Chengfu Hall now, and look at the way she wears gold and silver all over her body, but it looks vulgar."
Qin Yuan turned around and said, "Guiren Qiao and Guiren Ning had a very happy chat, and it seems that they have a good relationship. Jing Guifei nodded slightly, "They entered the palace in the same draft, and the relationship between the two was very good when they were still show girls, and then they both became nobles, but Ning Guiren's family is a big family in Jiangnan to make silk jewelry, and now the high-grade silk in the palace is from Ning Guiren's mansion, and his identity is naturally more noble than Qiao Guiren." ”
"Sister, didn't I hear that Qiao Guiren's father is not Qipinzhi County?" , Jing Guifei glanced at Qiao Guiren in the distance, and then said in a subtle voice, "Qiao Guiren's biological mother is just a singing girl in the brothel of the Red Mansion, how can she compare to the big Jiangnan industry on the rich side." ”
Qin Yuan nodded with relief, and then smiled at Jing Gui Concubine, "Sister Xie told her sister that since she entered the palace, she has never talked to any concubine about this. Jing Gui Concubine replied, "Why does my sister need to say thank you? This concubine appreciates your pampered, humble and polite temperament, so I would like to chat with you a few words. Qin Yuan then replied to the concubine with a faint smile.
At this time, I only heard the eunuch's unique shrill voice preaching, "The emperor is married, the queen mother is married, and the queen mother is married to ......."
The emperor, the queen mother and the queen walked into the main hall from the back of the palace, the emperor and the queen mother sat in the right position, the queen sat in the partial position, and everyone in the royal highness got up together, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Minister/concubine, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live, long live, see the queen mother, I wish the queen mother a long life and good health, a thousand years old and a thousand years old."
