Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 1 Mid-Autumn Festival
、、、、、、、
The fifteenth day of August in the third year of Yufeng was nothing more than a good day for all the subjects above and below Lingyun. It has been nearly two years since the new monarch ascended the throne, and although it is not completely peaceful, at least the world is also a calm and peaceful scene. Under the iron-fisted suppression of the war disaster in the southwest, which is known as the "killing god", all the major tribes bowed their heads and no longer dared to disobey the imperial decrees, and the northwest was also calm, and Prince An was even repeatedly complained in the secret recital to the emperor, and it seemed that all the wars and troubles had subsided before the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year.
It is still a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but it is very different from the past, in addition to a group of concubines, there are two more children held by nursing mothers. Queen Hai Ruoxin is certainly smiling, and even the other concubines are also flattering. Now the emperor already has four sons under Chenghuan, and the emperor's eldest son Feng Haoyang has reached the age of nine, and he can assist in government affairs in a few years, so whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, the mood on this day is particularly good.
The moonlight was still as bright and bright as ever, however, there was a different meaning in the eyes of Feng Wuxi. In the nineteenth year of Wanlie, it was such a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that he fell in love with the fate of the first emperor, and since then he has a bright future, which he will never forget. Looking at the concubines and a few children with pink makeup, a few relieved smiles also appeared on his face. With the mountains in hand and surrounded by beauties, it is no wonder that so many people are vying to ascend to the supreme throne, and the temptation is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing her son's stunned look, the Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Emperor, today is such a good season." You put all your thoughts on it. Although it is your duty to take care of state affairs, it is easy for them to come to the house, and you can't disturb everyone's prosperity. Empress. Do you think the emperor should be punished with a glass of wine? ”
Hai Ruoxin saw the Queen Mother speak, so she naturally understood what the other party meant. hurriedly smiled and complained: "The Queen Mother is right, the emperor is busy with state affairs all day long, and he has snubbed everyone at this time, and he really deserves to be punished." However, since it is a punishment for drinking. We have to have some fresh things, we take turns to give the emperor a drink, and then send an auspicious word, of course, the emperor will reply to us. If he can neither drink nor speak, then punish him with a host. It just so happened that Xiyi paid tribute to some various treasures, and the concubines had time to divide them in the future, so they all had the things this time. ”
Of course, the concubines were interested, and they were busy pouting the emperor on the side. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Feng Wuxian agreed with a smile, and waved his hand to order Xiao Fangzi to fetch something. When a few little eunuchs brought up a few plates of various ornaments. The faces of all the women lit up. Although they have everything in the palace, there are really not many things to see in this kind of tribute, and the outside style is very different from Lingyun. So it all looks fresh.
"The queen will reveal my shortcomings." Feng Wuxian smiled bitterly and took the wine glass handed by Hai Ruoxin. "But I have said that if you cannot drink a full cup, you will find someone among you to replace you. Don't deny it then! ”
Hai Ruoxin couldn't help pursing her lips and smiled, and then raised her glass and said: "The so-called auspicious words are nothing more than two words for the occasion, the concubine is a rough person, so naturally she can't say anything new, I just wish the emperor to stop the river, be forever, and be peaceful for ten thousand years!" With that, he drank it all, and in a moment he turned the bottom of a cup upside down for everyone to see, and a trace of blush was already on his face.
"Okay, good, I will accept your love!" Feng Wuxian poured this glass of wine with a smile, and then said, "In the two years since I ascended the throne, I have only inherited the shadow of the first emperor, but I didn't expect that as an emperor, the government affairs are complicated, but I have neglected you. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't have anything else to say, I just hope that you will stay young forever and grow old with me! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the concubines were immediately busy thanking, although the emperor had also said a lot of love words when he was fortunate on weekdays, but when he said it on such occasions, the situation was different. Thinking that the five old people in the East Palace already have children under their knees, Rong Concubine and Zhen Concubine can't help but think about it, they have been in the palace for a short time, although the emperor looks at the faces of the Kurten Department and the Sark Department with great grace, but in terms of affection, after all, it is not as good as the other women.
All the concubines were busy stepping forward to praise the saints, and the auspicious words dotted a basket, and the Queen Mother Xiao next to the emperor covered her mouth and smiled. However, there are few opportunities in the harem to be so lively, and it is rare to have a good time but also be in a good mood, so the Xiao family also messes around with them. She was already forty-three years old, and although she was well maintained, her state of mind was inevitably old. In the two years since the death of the first emperor, her life in Cining Palace has not been easy, fortunately, the queen and other concubines are well-informed and interesting people, and often come to accompany her, even He Xueming and come to walk around from time to time, and finally solve a little loneliness.
Rong Yana finally couldn't help it, and seeing that it was already her turn, she hurriedly poured a glass of wine and greeted her. I saw that her eyes contained affection, and she lowered her head and said softly: "The concubine has no other wishes, I just wish the emperor to be healthy and happy!" She seemed to have thought of something important, and it took a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines still have one thing to ask for, I wonder if the emperor can bring the concubines with him when Mulan hunts this year?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately became cold, and the Queen Mother Xiao squinted at the queen, obviously asking if the other party knew in advance, who expected Hai Ruoxin to be at a loss at all, and even the concubines Mingxiu and Concubine Hongru, who got along well with Yana, were so shocked that they couldn't help themselves. Although Yana often shows this meaning in front of everyone on weekdays, it is all an occasion for everyone to laugh and laugh, and she can't be on the stage, but now it's different. Not to mention that there are many eunuchs and palace maids who are in charge of chores around, and even the emperor on the seat is full of shock, you must know that the palace rules are set by Lingyun Taizu, Yana's words are undoubtedly taboo.
Queen Hai Ruoxin's mind turned around, and finally reluctantly opened her mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is still young after all, it's just a joke." She is a child in this deep palace, loneliness is inevitable, if the emperor this time hunting, invite the old prince Lai Shan to live in the capital for a while, so that he can enter the palace and talk to her about family affection. The Horizontal and Vertical Kurten Ministry is now ruled by the prince of Keltai, so it will not be in the way. ”
Feng Wuxian smiled and said, "It's still the queen who thinks thoughtfully, but I didn't pay attention to this." He saw Yana's gloomy face, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart. However, this is the case in the deep palace, depending on how delicate you are that day, once you enter the palace gate, you will almost never have the opportunity to see the sun outside again for life. For ordinary women, being a palace concubine is not only a great honor, but it also means that it is a cage for a lifetime.
Out of the matter of Rong Concubine, everyone was a little interested in the banquet behind, or Lan Guifei Hairuo was happy to see the opportunity quickly, and after inviting the queen mother's decree, she summoned the royal troupe in the palace, and it took a while to disperse in the evening. The concubines had already seen the emperor's face at first, and knew that he was afraid that he would have to rest at the Yongning Palace tonight, so they all went back to the palace in twos and threes.
Only Hongru has always been good friends with Yue Qiyan, so she went to Zhonghe Palace with her first.
The people of Zhonghe Palace had already received the eunuch's report, so when they came back from the smoke, the palace had already cleaned up. However, Yue Yan obviously didn't have much interest, and after waving his hand to get rid of the eunuchs and palace maids, he pulled Hongru to sit down, and his expression was already gloomy. Hongru was already extremely surprised by the silence of today's smoke, and when she saw her like this at this time, she couldn't help but be confused, and hurriedly asked: "Concubine Xun, what's wrong with you, is there something unpleasant today?" She pondered the words of the ladies at today's feast, but she could not find the slightest place that would stir the smoke.
Yue Qiyan glared at Hongru with some annoyance, and then said angrily: "Sister Hong, there are no outsiders here, you are already one year older than me, just call me sister." The rank is a virtual thing, does it really want to disturb the friendship between the two of us? As she spoke, she revealed, "In this deep palace, although there has not been a blatant intrigue and competition for favor, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no in the future." The emperor now has four sons, and Concubine Lan is also pregnant, who knows what will happen in the future. Sometimes, I really want to get out of the way and find a way out for myself. ”
Hongru was suddenly surprised, she stared at Yue Qiyan's eyes in disbelief, and it took a long time before she burst out with a sentence: "Sister, what are these words, you are now a dignified concubine, and there are Yue adults outside to support them, and even the Yue family treats you as a treasure." Even if you want to retreat, where else can you retreat? She thought about Yue Qiyan's words just now, and suddenly thought of the key point, and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, "The emperor has not yet had the intention of establishing a prince, and even if there is, it depends on the destiny of heaven. However, sister, you have no way to retreat from this kind of thing, so you can only accept your fate. ”
"My sister can not fight, but I don't have such a good blessing." Yue Qiyan sneered, "Yesterday, a mother entered the palace and brought the meaning of her family, they are good, as soon as they know that I have given birth to a son, they are all ready to move, and they don't think about the emperor's intentions and the queen's means." Her face was filled with a helpless look, "I followed the emperor before, just to be able to show my talents, but who expected that in the end, I was cocooned and bound myself." Now once they give birth to a child, they all have the idea that the mother is more precious than the child, and they want to take the opportunity to have another chicken dog ascend to heaven. Joke, there is more than one prince under the emperor's knees, and the queen has a concubine, why are they so anxious! ”
Hongru couldn't help but break the words of Yue Qiyan and thought about it sentence by sentence, but she still couldn't understand what she meant. "Sister, if you really don't want Hao Zhun to fight for that storage position, wouldn't it be better to explain it to the queen? The first emperor also tested my meaning, and I insisted on shirking it, and the emperor seemed to be very happy. Now that the court has calmed down, if there is any more chaos in the harem, the emperor may have to be furious again. ”
"Sister, you and I are different." Yue Qiyan finally confided in the truth, "I came to you today, Luo Luo said so much, just ask my sister to take care of this child in the future, and don't let him be bullied by others." If you are still worried about the love between the two of us, you can agree to my sister's request. ”
Hong Rudun had an ominous feeling, however, she could only nod, and the doubts and panic in her heart became deeper. Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 10 Shengping Chapter 1 Mid-Autumn Festival
