Volume 1 The Nobles Chapter 29 Family Banquet
is just an official woman, and generally the little lord has to please him, the emperor's personal chief eunuch, and he is already merciful enough.
Qin's kneeling body collapsed to the side all of a sudden, and it was really over...... Before entering the palace, she also assured her family that she would be able to baregate the lintel and let the family live a good life, spent a lot of money to cut the clothes for entering the palace, and gave her nearly a quarter of her family's savings to enter the palace, just to get the favor of the emperor.
Your Majesty, you are really ruthless, it is better to enter the cold palace than this, Qin Yu seemed to think of the gentle look of his smile to himself when she designed to attract the emperor, but now this holy decree is so cold that it can't work.
Li Quan didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, he had seen a lot of harem battles, so he didn't waste his time on this, turned around and left, this woman is not smart, and that noble man looks like he is usually gentle and generous, but he is definitely not easy to provoke.
The queen was practicing calligraphy when she received the news from Quan, and there were so many people in the draft for the first time in this palace, and she was inevitably a little unbalanced in her heart, this is not what a queen should have, and she thought it was time to hone her heart.
After listening to what he said, the tip of the queen's pen moved, and a pair of words was ruined: "Why did the emperor tell the palace like this?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, he still has to serve the emperor, and the slave retreats first." Li Quan didn't answer this question, he bent down obediently and retreated, and the queen didn't stay, she didn't have to please a eunuch.
"Xinyu, you go and ask Xiao Lingzi to inquire." Xiao Lingzi is the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, and he is also the famous Linggong in the palace, and he is the apprentice of Chief Manager Wu, who watched the emperor grow up next to the Queen Mother, and is an extremely face-saving figure.
Ling's father-in-law went out to inquire and came back after a while, and said to the queen: "Today, the emperor demoted Qin's promise to the status of an official woman because Qin promised to offend the noble people all the time, and it is estimated that he heard that Niangniang knew about this but did not act to anger Niangniang. ”
It's this noble man again...... The woman who didn't take her to heart before, but frequently asked the emperor to make an exception and look at her differently, has indirectly given herself two hardships since she entered the palace, and it seems that the means are very powerful.
Last time, the will was rejected, and this time there was a warning, the queen crumpled the rice paper on the table and threw it to the ground, Xinyu looked at the queen and knew that she was angry, and persuaded: "Niangniang, she is just a little nobleman, and she can turn over the sky, you can come and sit for a while, practice calligraphy for an afternoon, hurt your eyes." ”
"Yes, she is just a noble person now, she can have such skills, and she has made the emperor lose the face of the palace three times and twice, so she will have it in the future?" The queen's eyes were deep, like a sea of sea.
Xinyu is no longer silent, the queen has always been sensitive and easy to think too much, plus the emperor doesn't seem to like the queen very much, and he is always worried about a lot of things, so this is not a good way......
In fact, Hua Ying never expected that things would turn into this situation this time, of course she didn't want the queen to see herself as a thorn in her side, but she hated Qin too much, and in the past two days, Qin promised and didn't know what crazy she was going to come over and pester her every night, for fear of whose plan it was, so she came up with this method, so she came up with this method, so that Hui Xin accidentally mentioned it when the emperor came up, and the lack of sleep was also true, the purpose was just to seek peace of mind.
But since ancient times, the emperor has been ruthless, and everyone in the harem also saw how much the emperor loved Qin at that time, and when he returned to the palace in the summer, he took care of her and slowed down, and it was also because of this Hua Ying that she felt that this time she could only let Qin promise to live for a while, but she was demoted to an official woman who could not get out for a lifetime.
There is a trace of guilt in her heart, and it also spreads on Hua Ying's face, Qingxu has seen the world in the end, and knows that the little master may feel guilty, even if Qin promised no matter how bad it is, he has not harmed Hua Ying's life, at most he stepped on her to take the position, even if Hua Ying is mature and stable, she still has a kind heart when she first enters the palace.
"Little master, you have to get used to it in the future, there are many innocent women in this harem, and she will be buried here for the rest of her life, she is not happy with herself, and you don't have to blame yourself, little master. It is estimated that there will be many more such things in the future. He laid out the futon for her, and lit her with soothing incense: "The little master hasn't slept well in the past two days, go to sleep." ”
Hua Ying knew that she still had some glass hearts, and secretly scolded herself for being soft-hearted, and after listening to Qingxu's words, she didn't think much about it, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there is also a cheerful atmosphere in the palace, and everyone from top to bottom begins to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Sister, I have a palace party to go to tonight, it's really annoying." Ming often runs around in the palace these days, and he has to treat it as his own home, and the most troublesome thing is to be restrained, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is naturally attended by everyone.
Hua Ying really can't do anything about this sister, listening to the next person say that Ming Chang goes to pick chrysanthemums for a while and flutters butterflies for a while to pass the time, she was a little worried that Ming Chang is more eye-catching when she goes out, but when she comes to see that she is really cheerful, she is also quite clever in case of trouble, so she goes.
In fact, although Hua Ying has always called her sister, the two of them are only more than half a year apart, and their personalities are very different.
"You, like a little madman these days, the emperor still likes you, let me tell you, there will be fun after the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet."
Ming Changzai's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? ”
"Yes, although it can't compare to the excitement outside, there should still be lanterns or something at night, so don't worry."
"Okay, by the way, sister, you're cute drinking?"
"I can drink some but I don't like it, what's wrong?"
"I just miss the osmanthus wine I make at home." During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I used to drink osmanthus wine, and I often watched it crazy, but now I am a little homesick.
Hua Ying pinched her face: "Don't have this expression, we still have to walk a lot in the future, so it won't work?" Isn't it a strong Ming'er? ”
Ming Changzai immediately returned to his original state: "No! ”
Cut off the laurel in the moon, and the clear light should be more. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hung in the sky like a mirror, and they gathered at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to welcome the arrival of the emperor and queen.
"Let's all be even, today is the Golden Autumn Festival, you don't have to be too restrained." The emperor sat on top in a yellow robe, and the queen also changed into a golden flag suit and sat on the right side of the emperor.
"Today, the palace specially asked people to take the fermented osmanthus wine, which is very mellow and thick, and everyone tastes it." With a dignified smile, the queen asked her servants to come up with wine and pour a glass for each little master.
"Is the Queen Mother still coming today?"
"Aunt Zhu Li next to the Queen Mother came just now, saying that the Queen Mother is in good health just now, and the Imperial Doctor said that it is still not easy to go out, so she just came." The queen replied immediately.
The emperor nodded: "Then let's start." Then several well-trained dancers stepped up on tiptoe and began to perform songs and dances.
Hua Ying glanced at the dancer waving her water sleeves from time to time, and there were places between the tables on the left and right, and it was not convenient to speak, so she only ate the dishes that were already a little cold one bite at a time.
"The little master eats less, and if he eats too much, he will easily get into his stomach, and the slave will peel some lychees for the little master to eat." Qingxu picked up the fresh lychees from the crystal glass plate next to her, peeled them off and put them on the small plate in front of Hua Ying.
"On a good day like today, how can you just watch these dancing girls perform, there are so many talented people in our sisters who don't want to perform?" Concubine Ling is dressed as bright as ever today, and she does not lose the queen at all, and she always likes to take the lead in speaking.
Many of the concubines present were a little weird, and some of them may feel happy, because they can show their style in front of the emperor, but they are more worried.
"The concubine thinks it's better to forget it, today is a casual day, and the concubine is afraid that if you say this, you will all compare your talents." Concubine Jiang was the first to object.
Concubine Ling glanced at her: "The concubine thinks that this will be more interesting, and you can take a look at the good skills of our harem sisters, what does the emperor think?" ”
The emperor seemed to see the-for-tat situation between the two of them: "In this way, they don't have so much time to come together, do you want to come up on your own to warm up the scene?" ”
Mao Sui recommended this kind of thing Hua Ying was not interested, just stay aside and watch the play, her eyes looked at Ming Changzai, and when she threw a grape into her mouth, she knew that she thought the same, so she relaxed and waited to watch the play.
After being quiet for a while, I heard a soft female voice say: "The concubine wants to try, although it may be a little unqualified, but it is good to make the emperor and the sisters happy." "It's soft.
