170. 22 Feng Gong Shou Sui
These words moved everyone's attention to Concubine Xi, who had been sitting quietly on the side, she was dressed in a lake-colored plum orchid bamboo dark pattern carved silk robe, and her complexion was different from the usual snow-white of the women in the palace, with a slight hint of wheat. The long eyebrows are lightly raised into the sideburns, sharp and cold, the corners of the eyebrows fly slightly, and there is a hint of unruliness in the charm. Her lips pursed slightly, and her smile was gentle but cold, soft and uninhibited. A faint glance is like seeing a night sky full of stars, a Kong Ming lantern is shining brightly and dazzling.
Concubine Xi's name is Chu Yuanhua, she was born to the prince of Chu and the side concubine, although she is older than Chu Yunhua, but because of the difference in identity, she can only be used as a concubine. However, she was raised by the prince of Chu in the fiefdom of Yanzhou since she was a child, and she was not as gentle and moving as the young lady of the ordinary prince's mansion, and her biological mother was a grassland woman, but she had the unruliness of a grassland woman. However, Chu Yuanhua has an excellent personality and treats his subordinates very well, so he has always been praised by all parties.
"Your Majesty, if Princess Xianyu doesn't dislike the clumsiness of her concubines, the concubines are willing to take care of Princess Xianyu." Chu Yuanhua stood up and bowed slightly, lukewarm.
Situ Xuan glanced at her, his eyes were a little dark, and then he nodded, pushed Situ Sleeve Yue, and said, "Sleeve Yue, there is Sister Xi Concubine to take care of you these days, you go to her side first and get close to her." β
Hearing Situ Xuan's words, Situ Xuanyue just saluted, and then walked in front of Chu Yuanhua. Seeing this, Situ Xuan smiled slightly, then looked at the palace people beside him, and said, "Pass the meal!" β
"The emperor has a decree, pass on the food!" The palace people immediately said loudly, and soon, one by one the palace people came over with plates of exquisite dishes.
Previously, there were four dried fruits on the table of everyone in the Shou'an Palace: milk white jujube treasure, two-color gummies, fried large flat with sugar, cocoa peach kernels, and four kinds of gluttony: golden cake rolls, small bean cakes, lotus seed cakes, and pea yellows. After Situ Xuan said that the meal was passed on, these things were all taken down, and a plate of dishes was served. There are 10,000 words coral cabbage, longevity five-spice prawns, pearl tofu, shou wu chicken, baihua duck tongue, cuttlefish soup, guinea fowl, three immortal pills, crystal plum blossom buns, canned simmered mountain chicken shredded bird's nest, a total of ten dishes, meaning perfect.
At the time of eating, singing and dancing are leveled, and the music of silk and bamboo orchestra rises. Hua Qingmo sat at the table, she reached out to get the chopsticks, but the pain in her hand made her can't help but withdraw her hand when she just touched the silver chopsticks.
Seeing her like this, Bai Zixiao smiled unconsciously, the smile was as gorgeous and enchanting, and the candle flame fell on his face, as if expelling his original coldness, leaving a little warmth. Holding the silver chopsticks, he looked at Hua Qingmo and said, "Don't be reckless, you are a little reluctant to sit now, this governor feeds you." β
These words made Hua Qingmo slightly stunned, she looked at Bai Zixiao, nodded, and then told him what she wanted to eat. Although the eyes of the people in the palace are all on the singing and dancing, or they are chatting with the surroundings for fun, but those who have a heart will only pay attention to the people they care about. Others may not pay attention to Bai Zixiao and Hua Qingmo, but Situ Heng and Situ Yuanche, both of whom have a heart for Hua Qingmo, must pay more attention to her.
When Situ Heng saw this scene, there was obvious jealousy and displeasure in his eyes, he was already young and vigorous, although he had a gentle temperament, but for Hua Qingmo, he was the first to move the love between men and women, he couldn't look forward to it before, and then he gained and lost, so repeatedly made Situ Heng more persistent in Hua Qingmo.
As for Situ Yuanche, he was used to hiding his feelings in his heart, although this scene made him a little angry, but on his handsome face, there was no trace of abnormality. Love or love is well hidden by him.
After the New Year's banquet, according to the rules of the Chinese Dynasty, everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year. However, because of the difference between men and women, the men are in Yongle Palace, and the women are in Fengqi Palace in Yechenxue. Hua Qingmo was unwell, and she was going to go back to rest first, but it was a coincidence, no one retired first today, if she was the head, plus her relationship with Bai Zixiao now, I don't know what it would be like. And she didn't like to show it too much, so she supported her body and went to Fengqi Palace.
In the main hall, Ye Chenxue sat on the phoenix seat. From the bottom of the phoenix seat to the front of the main hall of the Fengqi Palace, there is a paving of cloisonnΓ© enamel chrysanthemum patterns, which looks luxurious. On both sides are ten chairs with dragon pattern and dragon pattern, and behind them are many pear wood engraved chairs. Originally, Hua Qingmo was just a small county lord, and she could only sit on the pear wood engraved flower chair behind her, but now she is Bai Zixiao's wife, and her status is higher than that of the princess of the Four Princes' Mansion, but she sits in the front position on the left. On the opposite side sat Ling Yanhua, and next to him sat Prince De and Princess Yulouyue.
"A few months ago, the county lord of Qinghe was still a small county lord, and he had never settled in the eyes of the palace, but now he is on an equal footing with the palace, which is really unexpected." Ling Yanhua looked at Hua Qingmo and smiled extremely charmingly,
Hearing her words, Hua Lingwei, who was sitting not far behind Hua Qingmo, smiled slightly, and said, "What Hua Guifei Niangniang said is that the marriage of the seventh sister is really full of twists and turns, but in the end, she found a suitable person, and she is really envious of others. β
"Ahem...... the women in Fengqi Palace all coughed lightly, and they generally wanted to laugh but they couldn't laugh. After all, everyone understands the deep meaning of Hua Lingwei's beautiful words, but if she really laughs, she will become a person who doesn't know etiquette, and it will inevitably make people short of words.
For this, Hua Qingmo smiled gently, and then she picked up a strand of green silk hanging from her chest in front of her, and then took a gentle breath, her movements were enchanting and charming. Then she looked at Ling Yanhua with a gentle smile: "It was indeed unexpected, how could Qing Mo have thought that such a ridiculous thing as getting on the wrong sedan chair would happen to her, even now Qing Mo also feels like a dream." β
"It's also surprising, this princess waited for the county lord of Qinghe to pass over, and then she became a concubine. But that's it, and it doesn't seem to be intentional to say it. Princess Xi picked up the celadon ice-patterned tea bowl that was placed aside and took a sip elegantly. Then she put down the tea bowl, took out the lilac embroidered hibiscus silk handkerchief on her waist, wiped her lips gently, and said with a smile: "However, this princess originally liked Ji Jin, and now although it is a mistake, it is also a good ending." Ji Jin is young, and if he stays by the side of 9,000 years old, he will finally feel that something is wrong. β
"What the mother concubine said is very true, Ji Jin is young, if she really marries at the age of 9,000, I am afraid that she will often make the 9,000-year-old unhappy, and I am afraid that Xiao Wangfu will be restless. The seventh sister is modest and steady, and the nine thousand years old are really husband and wife, Luan Feng and Ming. Hua Xijin sat behind Princess Xi, and her voice was quiet and elegant, which made people listen to it very comfortably.
Hua Qingmo listened to this, and glanced back at Hua Xijin slightly, she was wearing a rose-purple red-edged brocade robe, fresh and elegant, with green daisy earrings on her ears, showing that her ears were beautiful and petite. The fallen horse bun is obliquely inserted with a silver-gilded beaded dotted emerald hairpin, and there are coral turquoise beads next to it, and its beauty and elegance are seen in the heavenly posture and national color.
Seeing that she was still as if she was not married, Hua Qingmo sighed and said with some sadness: "The eighth sister looks more and more beautiful, unlike the seventh sister, who has lost a lot of weight compared to when she was in her mother's house." Although it is okay to be 9,000 years old, but in Xiao Wang's mansion day and night, there are the screams and cries of people, and every time I want to fall asleep, this sound makes my heart beat and I can't sleep. Qingmo really regrets it now, why did she carelessly get on the wrong sedan chair in the first place? I can't sleep all night now, I don't know if when the eighth sister sleeps on Heng Shizi's side every day, can you think of how much pain my sister has helped you bear? β
Hua Qingmo's words made Hua Xijin stunned, and she was a little speechless, Princess Xi, who originally helped Hua Xijin, is now not easy to speak. After being silent for a moment, Hua Xijin still smiled gently, and said: "My sister is really sorry, but the matter has come to this, only please Seventh Sister get used to it, after all, she will be older in the future." β
"yes, it's still old." Hua Qingmo chuckled and spoke.
Then, Hua Xijin sighed slightly, and her tone contained apologies: "The seventh sister has lost weight like this in less than a month since she got married, it is really my sister's fault." But in the years to come, the seventh sister has to take good care of her body, otherwise her sister will really feel guilty for the rest of her life. β
"The seventh sister feels sorry for the eighth sister, how can she make the eighth sister feel guilty for a lifetime? Eighth sister rest assured, those voices sound scary, but after getting used to it, it will be good, and I think that in a few months I will be able to sleep with that sound as a lullaby. Hua Qingmo smiled faintly, and there was an indescribable enchanting and gorgeous look on her slightly powdered face.
Listening to Hua Qingmo's words, Ling Yanhua smiled enchantingly, and then she moved the gold-inlaid emerald armor in her hand, and said loudly: "After listening to all this nonsense, the concubine feels a little tired, the queen mother, can the concubine want to go back to the palace first?" β
"Sister, it's not good!" Ye Chenxue's right arm leaned on the armrest of the phoenix seat, and the smile on the corner of her lips was generous and elegant. Her gaze fell on Ling Yanhua, and her smile was slightly profound.
"What's so bad?" Ling Yanhua stretched out his hand to help the back of his hair, and there was a trace of impatience in his eyes. The red gold phoenix's winged hair ornament is dazzling, and the ruby above reflects Ling Yanhua's beautiful face, becoming more and more charming and coquettish.
"The rule set by the ancestors is that everyone keeps the New Year together, trying to be auspicious, and my sister leaves alone, which is not good after all." Ye Chenxue still smiled gently and generously.
For this, the expression in Ling Yanhua's eyes became more and more impatient, she looked at Ye Chenxue, shook her head slightly, and said: "The emperor often says in front of his sister that the queen is good, everything is good, but she is too well-behaved. My sister often defends her mother, but now it seems that my sister is really wrong. β
Ling Yanhua's words made the smile on Ye Chenxue's face freeze instantly, and the others in Fengqi Palace naturally didn't dare to refute Ling Yanhua. But soon, Ye Chenxue's smile was still the same, she nodded, and said, "Sister is right, this palace is indeed too well-behaved sometimes. If my sister is really tired, let's leave first! If anyone else wants to leave, just talk to the main palace. β
"In that case, my sister will kneel down first." Ling Yanhua stretched out his hand, and the palace maid behind him immediately stepped forward. Ling Yanhua saluted Ye Chenxue, and then walked out of the main hall of Fengqi Palace.
Seeing Ling Yanhua leaving, Hua Qingmo thought that she would retreat first, her body was in pain now, and it was not easy to hold on until this time. But just as she was about to speak, a woman's terrible cry came from the door.
