Chapter 106: Branches

At this time, it was hot in the summer, and the palace was built in the middle of the mountain, but it was cool.

Banquet open lakeside, surrounded by ancient trees towering to the sky, the lake breeze is breezy, although not as cold as high autumn, but also refreshing and pleasant.

Concubine Xuan Rui was appointed to preside over the palace banquet for the first time, although it was not the kind of banquet of the New Year's Festival, but it was also full of energy, the tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks, screens, incense burners were carefully selected in person to the treasury, and the surrounding scenery complemented each other.

More from the mountain down thousands of pots of jasmine. Li. Flowers, decorating the banquet, make the whole banquet fragrant.

He also ordered red-crowned cranes, deer, parrots and other birds and beasts with beautiful and gentle temperaments to be released on the shore of the lake.

also asked Yun Fenglian to check the musicians and musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division together, and even rewarded the palace concubines in his palace with clothes and jewelry, and told him to practice diligently...... Qing Ren and the other attendants looked at them in a hurry, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Niangniang, Concubine Xuan Ruifei is too much of a limelight these days, and in the long run, the former harem is afraid that they only know the two of them, but they don't know Niangniang." ”

"That's what I want." Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, "After all, the identity and ability of people's fathers and brothers are there, if they are always pressed, and don't say whether other people's fathers and brothers want to mumble, just say what does Your Majesty think?" He must have felt that this palace was really powerful, and a noble lady like Concubine Xuan Rui couldn't do it...... In the long run, how much pity can Your Majesty have for this palace? ”

"It's better to let Concubine Xuan Ruifei rush in front, it seems that we really come out of a small family, and nothing can be achieved without the support of His Majesty, so that Your Majesty can rest assured, and the palace is also relaxed."

Qing Ren was a little sad when he heard this, and sighed: "Niangniang is such a talent, but it is the Xie family who has dragged you down." ”

"The Xie clan also carefully cultivated the palace back then." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "It's not that they forced the palace to enter the palace to be rich and rich, and there is such a thing as a lintel...... Hongu doesn't blame the family, and you shouldn't say such things. ”

She said slowly, "After the Ji family's incident, Your Majesty must have learned a lesson, and you will never allow a concubine in the palace to cover the sky with one hand." So now that Concubine Xuan Ruifei is in the limelight, don't be anxious. Your Majesty must have seen it all. The more they stand out, the more Your Majesty will support us. ”

"Moreover, the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest daughter of the emperor are raised under the knees of the palace, and the middle palace is disgusted by His Majesty. The cards in our hands are actually not bad, and the plan for today is to seek stability. can't make the same as when you just entered the palace to have a position, no position, no favor, no favor, no favor, and try every means to fight for the edge. ”

The Qing people thought about it, so they asked: "Then at this banquet, do you want to tell the palace concubines in our palace?" ”

"Of course you have to tell you!" Yun Fenghuang looked at the fan in his hand and smiled slightly, "Our Xuanqing Palace is famous for its many beauties, if you let others compare, where will the face of this palace be placed?" You call the Yi clan Qu clan and they all cheer up, no matter what method they use, anyway, they have to give this palace a solid reputation for our Xuanqing Palace's talents! ”

Yi Xingen and Qu Hongzhen were very frightened when they received the order, especially Qu Hongzhen: "The concubine is from a humble background, she can't read words, and she has no talent...... What should I do? ”

She can be selected into the palace layer by layer purely by her face, but her face is not as good as Yi Xingen,

At this time, the lord asked her to compete with other palace concubines, and she had to win, which is too difficult for a strong person, right?

But Qu Hongzhen didn't dare to say it, and after being embarrassed, he went to discuss with Yi Xingen.

Yi Xingen is better, but compared to the palace concubines in other palaces, she has no confidence, the two discussed with the other palace concubines, and jointly went to find Yun Fenghuang's close attendant Qingdu, and asked for an expert from the Teaching Workshop Division to guide one or two.

Qingdu consulted Yun Fenghuan and allowed them.

So these people practiced hard, didn't dare to relax day and night, and finally stayed up until the banquet, followed behind their respective lords, and watched the palace concubines in the other palaces dress up one by one, and they all felt bottomless and more nervous.

Of course, Yun Fenghuang and other high-ranking positions are calm, and they are dressed up and huddled around Chunjia, smiling and smiling, coquettish, as if there is no intrigue between each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Xuan brought it up and said: "There are only a few tricks every year, and it's not interesting, today is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders, why don't you let the sisters show their hands to help the fun?" ”

Chunjia heard the wind early in the morning, and he didn't mean to object, so he smiled and agreed.

So Concubine Xuan arranged for a talented person surnamed Di in her palace to come to the stage to throw bricks and attract jade, this Di Cai's coquettish life, a pair of narrow and charming eyes, like fox eyes, is the kind of appearance that the world thinks is not suitable for the main room. She wore a peach shirt and a pine green skirt, ordered peach blossom makeup, and walked up to the high platform built by the lake with a long shawl.

On the high platform, after Di Cairen stood still, he signaled the musician to take up the silk bamboo, and sang a song of the predecessors' gorgeous wording and beautiful palace words, Jin Shengyu Zhen, quite ear-catching.

Yun Fenghuang took the lead in saying the word "good" after hearing this, and the imperial concubines praised it one after another, and each had a reward.

Seeing this, the palace concubines were very hot-eyed, and the original tension was diluted a lot.

These people can be elected to the palace, although the real girls of poor families are all masters who are illiterate in big characters, let alone singing and dancing, but some of them have learned first-hand talents for various reasons.

At this moment, I used my spirit, and for a while, I sang and danced, and there were really a few people who were both talented and beautiful, and even the special tricksters of the Teaching Workshop Division were ashamed of themselves.

Chunjia is a person who knows the goods, and he praised a few words, one of which was the palace he entered when he got married, but because of the favor of the high-ranking concubines in the early days, they have been sleeping very few times so far, and it is difficult to get the royal Wan who is in front of Chunjia and is also taken by the jealousy of the high-ranking concubines.

But it is a good voice, tactful and loud, and his voice is like a yellow bird, which is better than Di Cairen.

Concubine Xuan looked at it a few times, and felt that this Yuwan was also old, and her complexion was just ordinary in the palace, so she asked Chunjia to promote her to a position, and she was promoted to Baolin on the spot.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the uterine concubines rose, and they worked harder and harder - in order to show their attention to the Zhou Palace, and because the two newcomers were second only to Jieyu in the registered concubines, they were arranged for the finale.

By the time the two came out, Chunjia was already a little dazzled.

It's just that Princess Lin's carefully selected people still have some real skills

, the waist is as soft as a snake, and the smile is all moving...... If it was just the two of them dancing, there would definitely be surprises.

However, after all kinds of performances by the palace concubines, Chunjia only felt that it was okay to look at it.

For the sake of King Zhou's face, after all, he praised a few words and gave a reward.

But the overall complexion was calm, and there were no surprises.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang and Concubine Xuan Ruifei exchanged tacit glances and put their minds at ease.

What is surprising is that at this time, Zhaoyi Yin Qian suddenly got up and volunteered to dance a song of Ling Bo: "After watching Concubine Chen and Concubine An, the concubine body can't help but itch." In the past, at home, I often played Lingbo with my sisters, and I am willing to cheer for Your Majesty! ”

At this time, she dares to stand up, and she must be full of confidence in her dancing skills.

The problem is that the tacit understanding at this time is that the palace concubines are only on the list, and the concubines just don't move.

After all, although there is no shortage of concubines who can sing and dance in all dynasties, the harem situation of the dynasty is special after all: a group of old people led by Mrs. Yaoning rushed to the decline of imperial power when they entered the palace, everyone relied on their family background to eat, and the emperor's favor was not to be ashamed, and the high-ranking concubines disdained to try their best to please the emperor, and the low-level palace concubines did not dare to please the emperor...... Over time, the old people developed an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance in front of the emperor.

And the emperor himself was defensive and even distrustful of the concubines who entered the palace at the time of the wedding, and he had no idea of getting close to them.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was in power, and the status between the emperors and concubines gradually returned to the right path, that is, the emperor's favor began to matter, but before Yun Fenghuang stepped on Yuan Neem Niang to become the chief favorite concubine, and then there were newcomers such as Concubine Xuan Ruifei who were gaining momentum.

Mrs. Yaoning, these old people are embarrassed.

In terms of position and situation, they have not yet fallen to the level of a noble concubine, and they do not need to put down their dignity to please the emperor in order to give themselves and their families a chance to survive. In this case, Yunfeng Huangxuan Concubine Rui, a latecomer who was calm and relaxed, accompanied the emperor with a reserved attitude, and did not have the slightest intention of personally pleasing the Son of Heaven, let them go?

This is too shameless.

Gu Zhen is a person who wants face, she really can't do this.

Therefore, he only privately taught a few palace concubines with good colors to fight, and he still maintained the coldness of a high-ranking concubine and was a pure audience.

She thinks so, and the others are also in similar thoughts, well, for example, Jia Yuye didn't think that face was not so important, and she couldn't be too reserved if she competed for favor, but reminded her left and right that Yun Fenghuan was by the emperor's side, and would give her this kind of life of first voting for the concubine and then the queen?

Jia Yuye doesn't play anymore, Xingxu Concubine Xian Niangniang is now a noble person who forgets things and forgets to find faults.

As soon as she went up, okay, Yun Fenghuang remembered the new hatred and old hatred, that is, no matter how good Jia Yuye's performance is, can she not be relegated to the dust with Concubine Xian's ability to pick bones in eggs?

Even Yun Fenghuang didn't need to be picky, just one sentence: "It's really not easy for the Jia family to come to power at such an age." ”

It's enough for Jia Yuye to be self-conscious.

And the reason why Yun Fenghuang didn't come to power was very simple, she really couldn't do it at that level......

Privately

The eyes of the spicy emperor were coquettish, and he asked him to say yes.

Isn't it stupid to show your ugliness in public?

As for Concubine Xuan Rui, of course, it is because they feel that they are the ones who want to be queens, dignified and reserved is right, and those who can sing and dance to win the emperor's favor are all things that are favored by concubines, and it is not that they have not relied on this to be queens, but who has a good ending?

Therefore, the tacit understanding of everyone today is that the concubines sit and watch the palace concubines do their best to show off.

As a result, Yin Qian stood up at this time...... Yun Fenghuan immediately went to see Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan looked dazed, looked at Concubine Rui, Concubine Rui was stunned, and looked at Yin Qian.

Okay, the concubine didn't get any news!

What the hell is going on with this Yin Qian?
