Chapter 204
March 3 is the Shangsi Festival, the birthday of the legendary Queen Mother of the West, Tong Guifei, who has been ill for a long time, specially set up a banquet in the Chengqian Palace, and invited the sisters of the palace to attend the banquet.
The banquet in the palace is generally in the afternoon or evening, after getting up from a comfortable nap, Shu Wan first went to see the three babies who were sleeping very fragrantly, and asked the grandmothers who took care of them to be careful, after all, this season is hot and cold, and it is very easy to catch the cold, and then he instructed the palace people to prepare fragrant soup, and it was very comfortable to take a bath.
Although Shu Wan is nearly thirty years old and is the so-called old woman in the eyes of many people, she does not like to wear dark or heavy clothes, and she often chooses bright or light colors full of youthful vitality when dressing on weekdays.
Dressed in a light purple dark silver silk embroidered with a hundred butterflies around the rose filigree face concubine in a regular dress, from the color to the details of the cuffs are very much liked by Shu Wan.
In addition to the customized auspicious clothes, Shu Wan's clothes, whether they are cheongsam or other clothes, she has improved them according to her own ideas and the flags on modern TV dramas.
Although the clothes of the palace concubine must follow the ancestral rules, and the wide ones cannot show the curves of the figure, sometimes the hazy and hazy ones are more interesting.
When the wind blows, a piece of clothing blows, and people can't help but imagine what a beautiful woman's graceful curves are hidden under the wide flag.
Shu Wan was not dissatisfied with this wide flag outfit, but she still deliberately improved the pattern, embroidery, color matching, and trimming style of the clothes, especially the cuffs and collar.
Shu Wan likes wide cuffs, Ying Yingyu's hands are hidden in them, which shows more charm, and the cuffs of her improved regular clothes are inlaid with two sides, one thin and one wide, which are embroidered with very delicate lines.
As for the collar, although Shu Wan prefers a stand-up collar, she does not reject the round collar, but Shu Wan still changed most of her regular clothes to a stand-up collar, anyway, she has to bring Longhua, and the round-necked stand-up collar is hidden under Longhua, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
Now, she is dressed in a light purple dark silver silk embroidered with a hundred butterflies around the rose filigree, inlaid with a light color wide brimmed standing collar concubine regular clothes, which she is very satisfied with after the improvement.
In her previous life, Shu Wan had also watched a lot of Qing court dramas, especially the gradual three-layer stacked cuff flag suit, and the Qing Dynasty's flag dress was extremely conservative, and everyone had at least three or four pieces of clothes on them.
Anyway, except for important occasions when you officially have to wear auspicious clothes or court clothes, no one cares how you wear the harem, as long as you don't exceed the rules.
Today, her light purple clothes are pink and cherry, and the innermost one is moon white, and the three layers of sleeves are embroidered with exquisite embroidery pictures of different light colors and different patterns, so as to form a gradient color, from the outside to the inside, the width and width are short, and the length is gradual, and the whole dress has a sense of hierarchy, and the front and back of the blurred copper mirror are illuminated once, Shu Wan is extremely satisfied.
As for the bun, because she is now a concubine, she can comb her hair in a higher bun, and she did not comb the one-line hair, two handfuls and tanzi that are combed more than in the palace, but combed a recently emerging shelf head.
As for the hairpin, because the concubine wears a hairpin seasonally, she wears a golden hairpin in winter and spring, and she wears a golden hairpin on the day of the beginning of summer.
Although no one cares what Shu Wan wears usually, she naturally wants to wear a golden hairpin and a golden hairpin, and she wants to wear a hosta and a hosta, but today she is going to a banquet, so she naturally has to pay attention.
After thinking about it, Shu Wan picked a set of emerald folded branches and flowers and birds, and then put two silk flowers on the sideburns, and the silk flowers also chose a light purple rose silk flower made of shiny silk cloth, and then inserted a finger drop tassel on the right side of the bun.
As for makeup, Shu Wan chose nude makeup, not only because she doesn't like to paint thick makeup every day like a harem woman, but more importantly, her skin is completely flawless, white and red, and she doesn't need extra rouge and gouache to make up for the defects.
Painted a light eye makeup for himself, and then dotted a peach-flavored colorless lip gloss on his red lips, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of everyone.
"Mother, it's so beautiful!"
Zhixing and the others who groomed Shu Wan couldn't help but be stunned, since serving Niangniang, they knew that their Niangniang was extremely beautiful, but after a long time, they were used to it, but now Niangniang is dressed up carefully, and she is even more beautiful and dare not let people look at her, her eyebrows and eyes are all very charming and gentle smiles, and her gestures seem to hook people's souls.
"Look stupid!" Shu Wan poked Zhixing's head lightly, and the smile on her face was not hidden at all.
Women love beauty, and it is always pleasing to be praised about their beauty, and Shu Wan is no exception.
"Niangniang is so beautiful, isn't the slave girl fascinated by Niangniang?"
"You're poor."
"What the slave said is true, I don't believe that the mother asked them."
"Okay, this palace is not poor with you, and the hour is not early, Zhiyan, is the sedan chair ready?"
"If you go back to your mother, you have already prepared."
"Yuxuan, Yuping, and Yuhuai stay in the palace, and the palace will take Zhixing and Zhiyan to go..."
After another explanation, Shu Wan took Zhixing and Zhiyan to Yonghe Palace slowly.
Shu Wan knew that Kangxi hadn't arrived yet, after all, she had only set off after 'watching' the hour, but something unexpected happened to Shu Wan, she actually met Concubine Yi outside the Chengqian Palace.
"Niangniang, it's Yi Concubine Niangniang."
Seeing Yi Concubine's sedan chair from a distance, Zhixing lowered his voice and said to Shu Wan in the sedan chair.
Shu Wan lifted the small half of the sedan curtain to see that Yi Concubine got off the sedan chair at the main gate of Chengqian Palace, and when she saw Shu Wan's sedan chair, she also specially beckoned.
"Sister Jade Concubine." Unexpectedly, Yi Concubine was really waiting for her, Shu Wan heard Yi Concubine's voice before she got off the sedan chair.
"Yi Concubine."
Zhixing helped Shu Wan get off the sedan chair, and the two saluted each other when they met, and then looked at each other quietly.
Yi Concubine is still dressed brightly and flamboyantly, with gold patterns and colorful cherry blossom clothes, and two large combs with pink flowers and gold jewelry, which make her already bright temperament even more compelling.
"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and my sister's demeanor is better than before."
Yi Concubine looked at Shu Wan's unique makeup, setting off Shu Wan elegantly and charmingly, and her temperament was better than before, and the villain in her heart had already stepped on Shu Wan fiercely.
From her pregnancy to childbirth to confinement, it has been almost a year since she accepted favor, and she waited for a long time to finally wait for the time to come out, but she didn't expect Shu Wan to compete with her again.
Yi Concubine had a smile on her face, but the knife was secretly thrown at Shu Wan. Listening to Shu Wan's words, she still answered with a smile.
"Sister Yi Concubine is really joking, the palace is very young, naturally you are not as young as Sister Yi Concubine, speaking of which, this palace may not have seen her sister for a long time, but her sister's body is still fine? Please forgive my sister, if it weren't for the fact that the palace had just come out of confinement, the palace would have gone to Yikun Palace to visit my sister and little brother. ”
"Sister, don't say that, if my sister says that, my sister will be very ashamed, I didn't even go to see my sister give birth at that time, fortunately, my sister and Xiao Gege are safe, otherwise my sister will regret it."
The two of them tried each other one by one, and the conversation was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a joke.
"What are Sister Yufei and Sister Yi Concubine talking about? is so energetic, why don't you go in and chat directly at the palace gate, it seems that the relationship between Sister Yufei and Sister Yi Concubine is really good. ”
Shu Wan and Yi Concubine turned their heads at the same time, it turned out to be Wu Ya's family, Wu Ya's family had a big belly, and her dress was as fresh and elegant as usual, "Concubine Yu Niangniang's greeting." ”
"Get up."
Shu Wan nodded, and then Wu Yashi and Yi Concubine made a flat salute, although Wu Ya smiled and groaned, but Yi Concubine's face suddenly became embarrassed.
"This palace should have been seven months in the belly of Concubine De."
"Thank you for your concern, it's been seven months."
Wu Yashi touched her stomach with a kind smile on her face, "Sister Yufei and Sister Yi Concubine have just given birth, one is Bing Xue's smart Gege, and the other is a clever and intelligent elder brother, the concubine looks really envious, and the concubine still wants to say a few more words to the two sisters, and she is happy." ”
Shu Wan gave birth to a Gege, and Yi Concubine gave birth to an elder brother, and now Wu Yashi put the two of them together and said, I don't know what kind of heart An De has.
"Speaking of De Concubine, you are blessed, maybe Concubine De, your child will become the first elder brother in the harem this year, and the royal family can be regarded as a good start."
Shu Wan smiled lightly and accosted, and Yi Concubine also smiled and picked up.
Although the two of them didn't deal with each other, they didn't like to let Wu Yashi see jokes even more, Shu Wan and Yi Concubine thought the same thing in their hearts.
"Come on, it's almost time, let's go in quickly, don't wait for the Lord Banzai to blame."
Shu Wan waved her hand, and Wu Yashi, who originally wanted to speak, could only swallow the words back into her stomach.
