Chapter 77: The Last Birthday

At the beginning, Changle still wanted to find him out and beat him to death, and vent his evil anger for the imperial sister. Later, when I thought about it calmly, I denied this idea, no matter how I said it, he was the queen mother's person. Even if the imperial sister wants to kill him, she has to help say good things on the side.

But compare her heart to her heart, if she is yin and beaten half to death, she will definitely kill the other party. Thinking about it like this, she was a little ashamed.

Confused with this, Changle didn't know whether he wanted to find the little eunuch or not, in short, so far, he still found nothing.

I heard that a few people died in the Shen Xing Division, but I don't know the specific reason, and it is said that it is the automatic hand of the same relatives of the Si Gongji.

Thinking of this, Changle's eyes darkened. She knew that it was the queen mother who deliberately embarrassed the imperial sister, but she didn't know why the queen mother deliberately embarrassed the imperial sister.

She glanced at the audience with a solemn face, and Princess Anping did not come.

didn't come just in time, with the unhappiness of Princess Changle at the moment, it is very likely that she will not be able to control her words and deeds, and if she is not careful, she may bring Princess Anping an unforgettable birthday gift.

Empress Wen came slowly in a bright yellow phoenix robe and sat in the middle of the hall.

"The concubines see the queen's mother, and the mother's mother is blessed with Jin'an."

The imperial concubine took the lead in getting up and saluting, and the rest of the concubines followed closely behind, and for a while the hall was full of salutes and greetings, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Princess Changle also got up to say hello, sat down and leaned back on the chair, bored to watch the concubines fight, she decided to wait for the banquet to be halfway through, find an opportunity to say goodbye to her mother, and slip away.

Instead of wasting time here, she should go and find that damn little eunuch, even if she can't be killed, just beat a few sticks and listen to the sound.

The concubines did not stop greeting each other and sat down separately.

Women's chatter can't escape a certain circle, either showing off gold, silver and jewelry, competing with high-ranking officials, or embarrassing each other's children's interests, etc. Gossip is an eternal motivator, and every woman offers it with blood.

Emperor Xuantong's harem, after the battle of the Moon Palace, in addition to Empress Wen and the imperial concubine of the main palace, only Concubine De is still standing among the four side concubines.

Because the emperor has not established a prince, the two princes have fought to the death openly and secretly, and because they have not decided on the concubine, the ministers of the court and the central government who have school-age daughters in the family are inseparable.

Yes, seizing the opportunity, those ministers and daughters always come to the two mothers, quietly recommending their daughters, anyway, sooner or later, the honor of the East Palace will be produced in these two one day, and the family glory will be in the back position, and the like is just around the corner.

However, Concubine Liu Xian failed to retreat because of the battle of the Moon Palace, leaving a sixth prince who is now looking lonely, so everyone focuses on the four princes.

In the midst of compliments, the imperial concubine smiled coquettishly and said to Empress Wen: "Sister, I heard that the envoy Di Rong has entered the palace to meet His Majesty a few days ago?" ”

Empress Wen frowned and glanced at her, although she didn't know why the imperial concubine suddenly mentioned this, but she still hummed.

The imperial concubine pressed the corner of her mouth lightly, smiled with waves in her eyes, and said to the jade nobleman on the side: "Although everyone is praising Hang'er, this palace still thinks that the most praiseworthy is the child Changle." ”

Maikosa!

Princess Changle's half-paralyzed body was stunned, and then she looked at the imperial concubine with incomprehensible eyes. She sat well, how did she provoke her?

Yu Guifei squeezed her hand and smiled coquettishly: "What my sister said is true." ”

"What does the imperial concubine mean?" Empress Wen spoke aloud.

"Hey, doesn't my sister know?" The imperial concubine exclaimed, "This time, Di Rong's envoy entered Beijing, not only brought this year's New Year's tribute, but also made an additional request to His Majesty. ”

Princess Changle glared at the imperial concubine with unkind eyes, and always felt that what this woman said next was not a good thing.

Really......

"My sister heard that the monarch of Dijon intends to ask His Majesty to marry a princess."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. The concubines of the palace have heard of the visit of Dijon's envoy, but when it comes to courting, they know very little.

The imperial concubine is currently the most favored by Emperor Xuantong, even if she was almost involved in the rebellion case of Liu An, she still retreated from the glory and favor continuously, and her words naturally could not be wrong. She specially came to tell Empress Wen about this, could it be that His Majesty has already decided to marry Changle Yuanyuan?

Concubine De glanced at the appearance of the imperial concubine, and calculated based on her years of experience in palace fighting, the imperial concubine was here to block Queen Wen today.

She rubbed her handkerchief, followed the words of the imperial concubine, and said to Queen Wen with sad eyes: "I don't know which princess Your Majesty will refer to, these children are all grown up in this palace, and they really want to marry far away, don't mention how sad this palace is." ”

Queen Wen's eyebrows did not move, and she was silent when she looked at the delicate appearance of the two of them.

She understands what the imperial concubine means. It's just that she only has two daughters under her knees, but she has a son by her side, so she doesn't have to worry about her children staying away.

It's here to make her angry.

The imperial concubine covered the corners of her lips coquettishly, and smiled again: "Concubine De's words are wrong, and being close to the country and the people is a major matter, it is a great righteousness, if the princess marries to appease Di Rong, it can not only make my Dajin border peaceful, but also promote the friendship and prosperity of the two countries." ”

He said to Queen Wen again: "This kind of thing, ordinary princesses can't do it well." The elder sister is dignified and virtuous, and she teaches Changle very strictly, making her know etiquette and abide by the rules, and she is a model for the children of today's royal family. Although His Majesty has not yet spoken, but my sister thinks about it, only Changle is a child who can do it. ”

her stinky fart!

Regarding the imperial concubine's nonsense that obviously deviates from the facts, in normal times, Princess Changle rolled her eyes and listened to it. But today's flattery not only pierces the heart, but also intentionally or unintentionally points to the fact that her father may take her to kiss!

She looked up at Empress Wen and saw a flash of hesitation on Empress Wen's face, obviously unaware.

the legs!

It's over!

Judging from the current situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, Princess Changle also knows that harmony is the best choice. The Great Jin Dynasty has not fought for many years, and the emperor is worried that he will not be able to fight in the war, so he simply sends a daughter to ask for peace.

This kind of thing, her father, who is used to drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, can really do it.

Choosing is a good choice, but it doesn't mean that she has to sacrifice her personal happiness to achieve the happiness of all people in the world. This kind of righteous and cloudy act has never been the style of Princess Changle.

Under the knees of the emperor today, there are three princesses of the right age, one is she, one is Changning, and one is Anping. But seeing that the imperial concubine is so confident, Anping has obviously been picked out by her and stayed out of the matter.

Now there are only two left, her and the imperial sister.

Princess Changle is not worried about herself, with her understanding of her mother and her love for her, she also knows that it is impossible for her mother to marry her so far.

If the words of the imperial concubine are true, then the princess who is likely to marry far away is the imperial sister who is not treated by the queen mother.

Although she didn't know why the queen mother didn't like this daughter who was raised outside the palace, it was her own daughter anyway,

Even if it's not as close as her daughter, who was raised under her knees, at least there should be some family affection in it, right?

But according to her observation during this time, the queen mother seems to have a deep prejudice against the imperial sister. Several times, when she saw the queen mother mention the imperial sister, obvious disgust flashed in her eyes.

Even if you don't grow up under your own knees, you're still your own flesh and blood.

Changle didn't understand, her imperial sister had been away from the palace for eighteen years, what was it that offended the queen mother? In other words, what is wrong with the queen mother's eyes?

Princess Changle couldn't figure it out.

@@@59δΉ¦εΊ“

Princess Anping sat in Feiluan Palace, looking at the various birthday gifts given to her. Although they are all valuable, they still make her unhappy.

This year's birthday banquet was forced to be canceled because of Empress Wen. For this reason, she lost her temper in the palace, and finally her mother promised her that after today, she would definitely find another opportunity to make up for her birthday, and she was relieved.

Even so, thinking of those people in Yukun Palace, Princess Anping couldn't wait for her four emperor brothers to ascend the throne immediately, so that she would no longer have to look at their faces, she must make them look good!

"Look, princess, this is a congratulatory gift from Dongchang."

A small leather drum is held in front of Princess Anping, the drum body is round, inlaid with several delicate gems, and several strings of white pearls surround the head and tail of the gems; I don't know what kind of animal leather the drum skin is, it is slightly yellowed, and it is extremely carefully handled.

Princess Anping frowned in disgust: "Xue Jinian will give this thing?" ”

"Today is the master's birthday, how dare Admiral Xue send worthless things." Mama Wang, who was in charge of the treasury of Feiluan Palace, took the tray to Anping's side, bent down and smiled flatteringly, and said: "The princess doesn't know, the material of this leather drum is excellent material, just this wooden frame, I am afraid that it will cost thousands of taels of silver on the market, not to mention the gems inlaid here, the old slave looks at this color, I am afraid that it is the red jade in the far north, and the market value is hard to find." There is also this East Pearl, although it is not big, but it is better than the uniformity, so many beads of almost average size are extremely rare. ”

"I don't know what the Admiral has put into it, this leather drum still smells fragrant." Mama Wang smiled like a chrysanthemum, and handed it to Princess Anping coincidentally: "Princess smell, this fragrance is intoxicating?" ”

handed it all to the front, and Princess Anping lowered her head and sniffed it, it really smelled good. Like an orchid like a musk, indescribable fragrance. I was far away, but I didn't smell it, but now that I got closer, I suddenly felt that my brain was a little more awake.

However, Princess Anping is used to pretending, even if she is satisfied with this thing in her heart, she still snorts, stretches out her hand to knock on the leather drum with a look of disgust, listens to the knock, and asks casually: "Can you play drum music?" ”

Mama Wang hurriedly waved her hand: "Oh, how can the old slave be so elegant, if the princess wants to try the sound quality of this drum, the old slave will immediately ask the teacher to bring a few musicians who are proficient in music and rhythm over." ”

"Forget it, it's not a valuable thing, why do you need to work so hard."

Although she hates Xue Jinian, the things he gives are quite eye-catching, and she likes all valuable things.

"Yes, yes, yes" Someone on the side immediately replied: "What the princess said is, no matter how Xue Jinian is, he is just a minion, what good things can he come up with?" How can it be compared with the four princes. "The answer was an old palace person, who had just been transferred from Huanyi Palace to Feiluan Palace, and the imperial concubine felt sorry for her daughter, and was afraid that the subordinates of Feiluan Palace would not be able to serve her properly, so she transferred two of her right-hand men to Anping.

In the end, it was the person next to the concubine, Princess Anping was quite polite to her, and when she heard this, she said: "Oh, does Mama Liu know what gift the fourth emperor brother is going to give to the palace this year?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the fourth prince loves the princess the most, and he changes his way to make the princess happy every year. This year will certainly be no exception. The four princes are extremely intelligent, and his high-level tricks can be figured out by the dull brain of the old slave. ”

This is the same as not saying it, but Princess Anping is still very happy, she said proudly: "That's natural, my imperial brother is the best." ”

As he was talking, a palace maid came outside to report, saying that the fourth prince invited Princess Anping to Huanyi Palace.

Princess Anping jumped up from her chair happily, and as soon as they talked about the four princes, the four princes came with a message.

"Congratulations to the princess, Princess Hexi, the old slave said, among all the princes and princesses in the harem, these four princes love our princess the most." Mama Liu said as she picked up her sleeves and wiped her eyes, looking moved by this brother-sister drama.

Mama Wang secretly spat in her heart, this old witch is used to pretending, and her kung fu is first-class, since she came, the princess has complained a lot about her treasury.

Although she was unhappy in her heart, Mama Wang's face was extremely festive, and she followed Mama Liu's words and congratulated her princess a few words.

Princess Anping asked her to change into new clothes for her, and at the same time asked the little palace maid who was born with eyes, "Who are you?" How come Hongu has never seen you? ”

"Back to the princess, the slave maid was transferred to Huanyi Palace a few days ago, today the imperial concubine Niangniang took Aunt Yunlin to the banquet, the slave maid was on duty in the courtyard, and I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

A few days ago, the mother concubine was angry and executed several palace maids, thinking that she found that there were not enough people, so she asked for a few new people.

Princess Anping hummed and asked again, "Did the imperial brother tell you why you went to the palace of the concubine?" He also said before that he would come to Feiluan Palace to help me celebrate my birthday. ”

"Back to the princess, His Royal Highness has said that the princess's birthday should be a family reunion, he has communicated with the imperial concubine, and has prepared a big surprise for the princess."

When An Ping heard this, his heart suddenly bloomed.

I went out in good spirits......

@@@

The flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden continues, whether it is the people on the field or the people off the field, although they look at the banquet with a smile and a smile, they know the filth in their hearts.

Listening to the imperial concubine's remarks, Princess Changle was quite bad. But now that she is on the field, she can't pull down her face and ask the imperial concubine directly.

You can't ask, asking is a slap in the face.

Her queen mother is the queen of the middle palace, and the queen doesn't know about it, so she wants to ask a concubine, and she can't lose her face. If she dares to ask now, the queen mother will definitely clean her up, and she will not be soft.

Hey, she's not brainless.

Glaring at the imperial concubine, Princess Changle raised her head and took a sip of the Baihua Brew in front of the case, she decided to drink a few more cups of strong courage, and go to her father to ask for clarification in a while.

None of the people on the field are not people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, although Queen Wen has nothing unusual on her face, but they still guess that Queen Wen is probably unaware of the courtship.

This topic is obviously a bit cold, and when the jade nobleman saw that something was wrong, he immediately changed the topic, and everyone hurriedly followed, and in a few words, they turned over what happened just now.

The imperial concubine sat on the left side of Empress Wen, her face still had that soft and smiling appearance, with a hint of pride and mockery in her smile.

She could see the grievances in Empress Wen's heart, and she could almost imagine that after the banquet was over, Empress Wen would definitely ask Emperor Xuantong for verification, and with the character of the emperor, maybe there would be a quarrel.

It's good to quarrel, and it's only when you quarrel that she has a place to play.

The banquet has been going on for more than half of the time, and this time Emperor Xuantong is estimated to have something to do, so he did not participate. Those harem concubines who were originally coming for the emperor sat and sit, so they didn't have any thoughts.

I couldn't go and couldn't go, so I had to beg the gods of all parties in the bottom of my heart to let the two big Buddhas on the throne do something, so as to end today's flower party early.

Princess Changle also wanted to leave, she had already eaten five cups of flowers, she felt full of courage, and she was completely confident to run in front of her father to brush up on her presence.

It's not that Princess Changle is afraid of His Majesty the Emperor, with Emperor Xuantong's favor for her, Changle can go to brush every day, so she has to drink to strengthen her courage, in fact, the bigger reason is because of Queen Wen.

Her idea is very simple, after drinking wine and strengthening her courage, she doesn't have to think about how to face her mother after she goes to her father to verify the matter of marriage.

The more she drinks, the clearer her brain becomes, she must be married to the royal sister, she doesn't have only one imperial sister, but she only recognizes Changning, the imperial sister!

She didn't understand the queen mother's thoughts, but she didn't want the imperial sister of Changning to marry away from home. She must stir up this situation before her father and mother reach a united front!

The reason?

The reason hasn't been thought of yet, it doesn't matter, two more drinks, maybe there will be.

Just as Changle was hypnotizing himself, suddenly a palace maid stumbled in, and before she got close to the imperial garden, she fell into a big fight, and she didn't care about wiping the blood on her face, and ran towards the center of the venue with a rolling belt, crying and shouting: "Oh no, no, no." ”

"Bold, who's making a noise here?" The two eunuchs who were shaking off the dust pulled their faces and rushed forward to stop the little palace maid.

The imperial concubine smiled with a smile in her eyes and said coquettishly: "Sister, sister, look at the slave in a hurry, I think there must be something important, it's better to let her come in and talk about it." ”

This is a little palace maid born with eyes, and the imperial concubine only glanced at it and knew that it was not from Huanyi Palace. It must be a big deal to be able to break in so indifferently at the queen's banquet.

It's good to have big things, and there are big things that give her a chance to perform. I'm afraid that the harem will be full of birds and flowers, and she will use any excuse to go to His Majesty to offer "good words".

Empress Wen was very bored in her heart, she knew that Liu Ruyue, a woman, would not stop, she kicked the other party's birthday banquet with her front foot, and the other party came to disrupt her flower viewing party with her back foot.
