119. Chapter 117
The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, bright and deep, unfathomable, there is no cloud, no dust can be seen, the icy and jade crescent moon seems to be "hanging" in the southern sky, but it can be seen carefully, and it is helpless, making people feel as if a sickle flew from where suddenly stopped there.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, in the main hall of Fengxiang Palace, the lanterns are colorful, lively and extraordinary, the two sides of the hall are full of concubines above the noble position, each dressed up gorgeously, with joyful faces, the concubines occasionally whisper and gossip between each other, a good scene of joy.
Qin Yuan sat elegantly in front of the main hall, smiling and whispering with Concubine Yi from time to time, and at this time, sitting in the center of the hall, Concubine An looked at Qin Yuan's glorious appearance, and then leaned over to Qi Concubine on the side and whispered, "Concubine Hui is really flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix now." ”
Concubine Qi raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yuan from afar, and then slowly bowed her head and said, "Concubine Hui's father is the daughter of the general of the dynasty, and she was named a concubine when she entered the palace, and she was born with the life of Feng Xiao, and now she naturally stands on the branch." ”
"Since Concubine Hui returned to the palace and gave birth to the fourth prince, have you seen that the emperor has stayed with other concubines? After approving the excerpt from the imperial study every day, he went to Fengzhu Palace, Concubine Hui can no longer have children, and I don't know where Fengzhu Palace is good, the emperor is so obsessed. ”
Concubine Qi looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice, "You don't look at what kind of place this is, there are many people talking, if this word reaches the ears of Concubine Hui, will it still be good for you?" Concubine Hui is the person who even Concubine Wan dares to provoke, this concubine sees that this Concubine Hui is not simple, since she entered the palace, anyone who offends her, is there still anyone alive? ”
Concubine An looked at Concubine Hui in the distance, and then said lightly, "It's just that she is favored by the emperor, and the flowers are not red for a hundred days, if there is no favor from the emperor one day, see what else she can show off." ”
"This concubine may not see, the Queen Mother and Yi Guifei are both powerful people, Hui Guifei has the Queen Mother's favor, and Yi Guifei is friendly, and now she has given birth to four princes, the emperor has sealed the second product of the emperor, that is qualified to inherit the throne in the future, the emperor vacated his own Anshen Temple and renamed it Fengzhu Palace for Hui Guifei's mother and son to live, which concubine has had such an honor in the past dynasties? Even if he loses the favor of the emperor, but there is a father who holds military power behind him, and he will definitely assist the four princes in the future. Look at Nalian's promise, isn't it because of Concubine Hui's words that she is now promoted as a nobleman? Otherwise, with such a humble status as a maidservant girl of the piano, how could she not be in the same hall with us, Concubine Hui Guifei is telling the harem that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will die! ”
Qi Concubine's words were reasonable, and An Concubine's eyes then swept over everyone, and suddenly stopped at Ning Guiren's place, looked at Ning Guiren's mouth and sneered, "Hmph, your analysis is not unreasonable, you see, some people can't bear it." ”
I saw Ning Guiren sitting naturally and elegantly in the main hall, chatting with a young woman beside him from time to time, this woman was not a concubine, but Ning Guiren's sister, whose name was Ziyan.
I saw that he was wearing a light blue long skirt, embroidered with white red plums on the skirt, with a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist that could not be grasped, and a green silk was rolled into a wishful bun, only a plum blossom white hosta was inserted, although it was concise, it looked fresh and elegant, the dark red eyes were clear and bright, but it was mysterious, and people could not figure it out, such as willow-like eyebrows, the corners of the eyebrows were full of sweet smiles, and the water was so smart that it could pinch out the water, the small and delicate nose, like a cherry, and a small mouth as thin as wings, The smile rippling on the delicate and flawless face, charming and moving, set thousands of styles and one, tempting people's hearts, fair skin has two faint flushes, baby-like skin blowing and breaking, it is really the ultimate beauty in the world.
Since she entered the palace, the eyes of all the concubines have been focused on her, and occasionally she will whisper a few words with other concubines from time to time, Ning Guiren seems to have not seen it, sitting indifferently in place, and then turned sideways to Ziyan and said, "Tonight is the best opportunity, do you know what to do?" Don't let down your mother's years of cultivation for you. ”
Zi Yan lowered her head slightly, and said in a delicate and silky voice, "Eldest sister rest assured, sister knows how to say." A trace of indifference drifted through Ning Guiren's eyes.
Concubine Yi peeled off a grape at this time, and then handed it to Qin Yuan and said with a smile, "Sister tastes this grape, it's very sweet." Qin Yuan smiled instantly, took the grapes and put them in her mouth, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's really sweet." Yi Guifei wiped the water droplets on her fingertips with a silk handkerchief, hesitated slightly, and said with a half-light smile, "Can you see the so-called Ning Guiren's sister?" ”
The corners of Qin Yuan's lips suddenly lifted slightly, and she said with a smile, "How can my sister not see such a beautiful woman like a flower?" ”
"Look at the outfit and know that it is carefully prepared, it looks like tonight is going to be brilliant."
"Then give Ning Guiren this opportunity, otherwise it won't be in vain for her to put her mind to work, but my sister has to admit that her sister is really beautiful."
Concubine Yi's face seemed to be unintentional, but her expression was deeply approving, and she said slowly, "But she chose the wrong path, and she will not be long after entering this deep palace, so it is really in vain for her delicate beauty." ”
Qin Yuan lowered her fan-like eyelashes, and thought for a moment before saying, "Can my sister let my sister do it this time?" Concubine Yi raised her eyes instantly, looked at Shang Qinyuan's deep eyes, pursed her lips for a long time, and bowed her head gently, "Okay, then my sister will sit and wait to watch my sister's good show." Qin Yuan suddenly smiled confidently, lowered her eyelids, and was silent.
At this time, I only heard the eunuch report, "The emperor has arrived...... The Queen Mother drove to ...... The queen drove to ......"
I saw Qing Cang, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, dressed luxuriously and walked out of the back cabinet, all the concubines and concubines got up to do cumbersome etiquette, congratulating the three of them on the blessings of Jin'an, and when the three of them sat behind the main hall, Qing Cang slowly said, "Let's all sit down." The concubines then thanked him and slowly got up and sat down.
Qing Cang quickly swept over all the concubines, and then Qin Yuan stayed for a few seconds, a smile flashed on her lips, and then she said solemnly, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this banquet is specially arranged for reunion, and the concubines don't need to be too restrained." ”
"Concubines/concubines/concubines, obey the order."
Then the music of the main hall played, and the dance was carried out as usual. The women stepped forward to show their dancing, every banquet is like this, there is really nothing new, all the concubines and concubines were still sitting upright at the beginning and looked carefully, but after a long time, they got tired of it, they all talked and laughed with each other, the emperor and the queen mother and the queen let everyone smile, and for a time the hall resumed the lively atmosphere of Fangcai.
A few pieces of music stopped, danced. Female waka. The ladies retreated, the hall became quiet, and the queen then asked the concubines, "How does the crab taste this year?" Are the concubines still used to eating? The concubines replied in unison, "Very good, thank the queen for her kindness." ”
Concubine Yi then smiled and opened her mouth, "This year's crabs taste very fresh, the queen must have put a lot of thought into it." ”
The queen smiled and bowed slightly, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good season for tasting moon cakes and eating crabs, and the palace should choose the best products." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a little more lively than in previous years." ”
The queen replied, "What the queen mother said is that there are a few new concubines in the palace this year, so it adds a bit of excitement." ”
The Queen Mother then looked at Her Royal Highness's silent Concubine Hui, and said with a soft smile, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't Concubine Hui dance a song?" Qin Yuan smiled humbly when she heard this, "The concubine has just given birth to the imperial heir, and her body is still healing, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to smile at the Empress Dowager, but the concubine heard that Ning Guiren's concubine's sister has exquisite dancing skills, why not let her dance a song?" ”
The Queen Mother then looked at Ning Guiren, and then said with a smile, "But the woman next to Ning Guiren?" ”
At this time, Ning Guiren and Ziyan got up and saluted, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it is the concubine who has a sister, and the emperor is gracious, and the concubine's sister is allowed to live in the palace for a few days. ”
Then Zi Yan bowed and said in a soft tone, "The people's daughter Zi Yan asks for peace to the emperor, to the queen mother, and to the queen." ”
The queen then smiled and said, "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." Zi Yan then slowly raised her head, the queen couldn't help but be surprised by Zi Yan's beauty, the queen has been in the palace for many years, and she has naturally seen a lot of beauties, but a woman like Zi Yan is so enchanting but not glamorous, elegant and vulgar is really rare.
At this moment, Qing Cang looked at it for a while, and then the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he took a sip of the teacup, and his demeanor did not have a trace of staring, as if he was not interested in the slightest, the Queen Mother's eyes were mixed with depth at the moment, and she looked at Ning Guiren without cutting her eyes, and a smart person like the Queen Mother naturally knew the intentions of Ning Guiren.
The queen then smiled slowly, "Miss Ziyan is really beautiful, even the palace was amazed when she saw it." Zi Yan smiled humbly, faintly mixed with self-satisfaction, Ying Ying said, "The queen's mother is serious, how can the people's daughter's face be compared to all the ladies here." ”
The Queen Mother then said in a clear tone, as if a pearl had fallen to the ground, without any tone, "The mouth is quite sweet, what does the emperor think of this woman?" Facing the Queen Mother's question, Qing Cang raised his lips for a while and said, "It is indeed a rare beauty in the world." ”
Concubine Wan flashed a smile at this time, "Is it okay for the emperor to accept him as a concubine?" The charm on Concubine Wan's lips at the moment seemed to be a joke, and it seemed to be a little serious, and the concubines in the hall had different expressions as soon as these words came out.
How do you know that the corners of the emperor's mouth hooked up a perfect smile, and said calmly, "I now have Concubine Hui by my side, there is no need to serve in many people, there are still many talented sons of civil officials and generals in this dynasty, and I can promise a good family for him." ”
All the concubines and concubines also turned their eyes to Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan was not moved at all, and happily accepted everyone's eyes, as if everything was as it should be, and Qing Cang's words made Zi Yan, who was originally happy, suddenly feel a little lost, Concubine Wan smiled at this time, "The concubine is just a joke, since Miss Zi Yan is talented, why not show it?" ”
Zi Yan then bowed her head humbly, "Yes, then the people's girl will be ugly." ”
