Volume 1 The Noble Chapter 54 The Flower Season
"Today's birthday of the Ying noble, the concubine respects the Ying noble, and I wish the Ying noble a safe year."
Today's Huaying birthday banquet, although there was no big event, but also invited several palace concubines as guests, several of them were also uninvited, I am afraid that in order to see the emperor, they all rushed to Huaying Palace.
Now there is one person who holds the wine glass, it is Concubine Jiang's inner Ren who agreed, I don't know which tendon is wrong, and I also came to join in the excitement, and now I also toast with Hua Ying: "The emperor also held a birthday banquet for the Ying nobles, which is really favored." ”
Concubine Xiu was the first to say: "If I remember correctly, Ren promised to pestering the ladies in high positions every day before, and later she only talked to Concubine Jiang. ”
Ren agreed to pull the corners of her mouth, but Concubine Jiang wanted her to come, Concubine Jiang didn't want to see the noble Ying, so she forced her to see the emperor and let her join in the excitement of Huaying. But who doesn't know that Concubine Jiang is powerful, so where does it take so much effort to let Ren promise to meet the emperor, not to mention that Ren promised to rob Rou Chang's favor, just like the day.
Concubine Jing saw that she was embarrassed, so she gave her a step down: "Maybe Ren promised to want to be friends with Ying Guiren a long time ago, right?"
"Yes, yes, Concubine Jing is right, I hope that the noble people will not dislike the simple gifts of the concubine." Ren promised to climb along the pole: "I have long wanted to visit Yingguiren, but I have never had a suitable opportunity." ”
"If this is the case, Ren promised to come, and it was also a face for me." Hua Ying said: "Don't be too restrained if you agree, Sister Xiu Concubine and Sister Jing Concubine are both people who are familiar with me, and it is also possible to speak more directly." ”
"The concubine understands." Ren promised to breathe a sigh of relief, but although he saw that Hua Ying was easy to get along with and didn't have so many rules, but halfway through the banquet, the emperor hadn't come yet, Ren promised a little disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't show it.
Yu Changzai was even more straightforward, and when he saw that Ren promised to always look at the door, he said directly: "If Ren promised to come to Jingyang Palace just to see the emperor, it would be really painstaking, it is better to go to the emperor now, so as not to suffer from lovesickness like this, and his eyes have never left the door of the palace." ”
Ren Yu's face was embarrassed and embarrassed, he didn't expect his performance to be so obvious, and he was directly pointed out by Yu Changzai next to him.
"The visitor is a guest, I thank you sisters for coming to me to cheer here, but I am pregnant with a dragon heir, and it is not suitable to drink, so I will replace wine with water." Hua Ying couldn't drink, so she drank the water in the cup, and by the way, she helped Ren promise to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Sister Ying is polite," Ming Changzai was happy, as if it was her who celebrated her birthday: "I prepared a pair of jade chopsticks for you, I wish you a good appetite, and I want to wish you a smile, do you like it?"
This simple and unpretentious gift made all the concubines laugh, and even Ren Yu, who had just been given a cold reception, laughed: "The concubine doesn't have anything good, only a bottle of glazed painted double-chick carved vase was prepared for the Ying nobles, a small gift, I hope the Ying nobles will give me a face to accept it." ”
As soon as Hua Ying let Qingxu Haosheng take care of it, she heard a familiar and loud voice preaching outside:
"The emperor has arrived!"
Hua Ying and the concubines hurriedly stood up: "Welcome to the emperor, the emperor is blessed with gold." ”
"Everyone's excuse me, Ying'er, hurry up." The emperor personally helped Hua Ying up, pinched her hand affectionately, and then sat on the main seat together and said: "Today's birthday of Yinggui, your concubines are not more formal, just treat me as if I don't exist." ”
It seems that the emperor is in a very good mood today, and he is also very fond of Hua Ying, Ren promised to observe the emperor's expression, but he couldn't help but speak: "The emperor's Qianqiu Festival is also coming soon, I don't know if the emperor will do a big thing this time?"
The emperor's birthday is on October 9, and there will be less than two months, which is indeed fast, in a word, the concubines are thoughtful, but the emperor is a little unhappy.
"Today is a good day for the noble people, not to mention my Thousand Autumn Festival." The emperor said displeasedly, shook Hua Ying's hand, and Hua Ying blushed slightly.
Although those superficial feelings may be directed and acted by Hua Ying, asking her to show what she wants to show to the emperor, but in that moment, Hua Ying really felt a trace of sweetness in her heart, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and Hua Ying cannot be indifferent to the emperor's goodness, if the emperor really loves her......
Because of this sudden psychology, the emperor on the side was still saying something to her, she didn't listen carefully for the first time, or Ming Chang called herself, seeing that she seemed to be out of state, worried: "Sister, the emperor asked you if today's meal is still appetizing, why didn't you suddenly speak?" Isn't it uncomfortable?"
"No, I was just overjoyed, and I didn't react for a while." Hua Ying pretended to be very happy and covered up her abnormality: "The emperor is already very satisfied to be a concubine, and even today's food is much more delicious." ”
"As the saying goes, a pregnancy is stupid for three years, and looking at Ying Guiren like this, I'm afraid it will be stupid for five years." Concubine Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since today is the birthday of the Ying noble, can the emperor give the Ying noble a gift?"
"Then naturally I have to send it, Li Quan!" The emperor clapped his hands and informed Li Quan, who was waiting outside.
"The slave is here, this is the birthday gift prepared by the emperor for the little master Ying." Li Quan carried a delicate carved sandalwood box and sent it to Hua Ying, Hua Ying also took it carefully, and after getting the emperor's affirmative eyes, he slowly opened the buckle.
The contents of the box glow with a faint and soft halo, which looks inconspicuous, but gives people a sense of self-obscurity of treasure, and it is impossible to take your eyes off it at a glance.
"This is the most plump and mellow night pearl found in the South China Sea in recent years, the emperor knows that when the little master Ying falls asleep at night, he always has to leave two more lamps to fall asleep, so he sent someone to make a table that matches the beads, and put it at the head of the bed, it will not be dazzling." Li Quan explained with a smile, after finishing speaking, the other concubines in the audience were either amazed or secretly sighed, of course, Ren agreed to be jealous.
"The emperor really worked hard for the Ying nobles, and the Ying nobles are really blessed." Ren promised to be sour, but he didn't dare to say anything excessive in Hua Ying's place.
"That's for sure, the emperor has always treated his sister well." Ming often looked at her and said some sour words, so she naturally spoke to Hua Ying: "My sister also has a lot of blessings." ”
Hua Ying glanced at Ming Changzai with a smile, and then said to the emperor: "Thank you for the emperor's gift, the concubine likes it very much." There was a hint of a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows when she spoke, and it was also because the emperor always remembered that she had been sleeping unsteadily recently, and she wanted to leave two more lamps, and she brought two points of sincere affection in it.
"Ying'er likes it." The emperor was happy to see her, and he also felt that his heart was not in vain.
Although Hua Ying was pregnant, the emperor still stayed in Hua Ying's palace that night, and these were also deserved, and the concubines each said goodbye and returned to the palace.
Changchun Palace.
"You really didn't notice anything unusual about that person's belly?" Concubine Ling frowned tightly and questioned Concubine Ji in front of her, Concubine Ji had also been in Huaying Palace tonight, but she didn't talk much, reducing her sense of existence.
Concubine Ji lowered her head and didn't look at her gaze: "Back to Niangniang's words, yes, the concubine observed carefully all night, and her appetite was normal, and she didn't feel any discomfort." ”
"This is strange...... Concubine Ling said to herself, it stands to reason that there should be some reaction, could it be that the noble Ying pretended to be in front of everyone?
Ji Concubine thought she had heard it wrong: "What's strange?"
"It's okay, since you don't know, you can hurry back to Yanxi Palace, the palace will also sleep peacefully." Concubine Ling ignored her after speaking, and walked to her bedroom by herself: "By the way, teach more Dagege, so that she can speak in front of the emperor, and she can also help the palace." ”
Concubine Ji has long been accustomed to her virtue, and she turned her face and didn't recognize people when she didn't help her, or she threw it aside when she ran out: "The concubine knows." ”
