Chapter 236: Plum Wine (1)
Since Chu Huotian left the table with Ouyang Zhen at the peony banquet, the entire Chu Palace has been talking about Ouyang Zhen's favorite, plus Ouyang Zhen had beaten Zhou Yanchun before, and gradually the wind direction has changed, and all kinds of gossip have come into being.
Ouyang Zhen heard that Mingying came back to report, but he only smiled. Wan Hui said worriedly: "Niangniang, now the people in the palace are pointing the finger at Niangniang, in case ......"
Ouyang Zhen waved his hand and sighed with a smile: "Forget it, it's inevitable, this is what the emperor meant, I have to do that bait." The left and right are just being said, and people can see something from it. ”
Wan Hui sighed softly: "Niangniang should also be careful, Niangniang is pregnant with a child now, the emperor really shouldn't pick Niangniang to this cusp at this time." ”
Ouyang Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's better than watching him pick other women, let me eat it when the time comes." Don't worry, aunt, it's okay like this, in the emperor's heart, our 'Yunxiang Palace' will be the first one. ”
……
Chu Huotian almost went to Ouyang Zhen to take a look and sit almost every other day, and the rewards were endless, and he moved in like flowing water. The harem was calm on the surface, but the wind was surging secretly, and gradually some ministers began to accuse Chu Huotian of favoring the concubines of Huadi, and some officials pointed out that Ouyang Zhen confused the monarch's heart.
And so on and so forth.
In order to be pampered, the new show girls secretly ventilated with the ladies of the palace, humanely "three people become tigers", and gradually, when Ouyang Zhen went to ask the queen for peace, he heard a lot of sour words.
The queen stood still, looking like she was out of the way, and Mrs. Liu Guo's attitude towards Ouyang Zhen did not change much. Ouyang Zhen was like a touchstone, and gradually let Chu Huotian try out the depth of the harem.
In mid-May, Chu Huo Tiancai selected a few show maids to divide them into categories, Li Mingqian was a talented person from the sixth grade, Pei Lingling was a noble person with the sixth grade, and a few people were selected to change clothes, choose waiters and so on.
There are only ten people in total. Compared with the hundreds of show girls who entered the palace at the beginning, it is really few.
Ouyang Zhen looked at it coldly, and the arrogant Guo Minghong was also among them, and Chu Huotian promoted her to the selection of servants. Ouyang Zhen heard Ming Ying say, she was very unconvinced, and smashed several beauties in her house.
Ming Ying smiled at Ouyang Zhen and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, she boasted to everyone before, saying that she has a beautiful appearance, and she will definitely make the emperor look at it at a glance, and it is not a problem to seal the concubine." ”
When Ouyang Zhen heard this, the tea in his mouth was about to be sprayed. Wan Hui hurriedly stepped forward to beat her back: "Niangniang, take it easy." Ouyang Zhen raised his head and said with a smile: "This Guo Minghong is not a daydream, right?" ”
Mingying pursed her lips and said, "Who knows." There are always some people who don't know how many pounds and taels they have. ”
Ouyang Zhen smiled slightly, too, there are always some people who feel that they are better than others, and once they can't get what they want, they will be furious. Ming Ying said some small things again, Ouyang Zhen listened to it with a smile, and no longer paid attention to it.
After a few days, I heard that the plums in Shanglin Yuan were ripe, so Mrs. Liu Guo invited several palace concubines and show girls to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery in Shanglin Garden, saying that they wanted everyone to gather together to drink boiled plum wine and go to get rid of moisture.
Ouyang Zhen was just over, but he still liked to eat sour, and after listening to Mrs. Liu Guo's invitation, he couldn't help but be moved. That day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the blue sky is like washing, a look at the past, the clouds in the sky are rolling up, and it is very refreshing to look at.
Ouyang Zhen was wearing a rosy pink palace dress, embroidered with all kinds of peach blossoms, deep and shallow, very beautiful, she threw her hair on her head, and put a pink silk flower on the sideburns, looking at the peach blossoms on the human face, people are more delicate than flowers.
She instructed the attendant who raised her shoulders to walk slowly, and the forest and mountains were all in front of her along the way. The air is filled with the scent of plants and trees. When you arrive at the Shanglin Garden, in the shade of the trees, you can see a small pavilion standing tall among them.
There are also many concubines dressed in bright palace costumes. Ouyang Zhen arrived, Dexuan helped her forward, Mrs. Liu Guo was already sitting on the main seat, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Look, the main one is here." But it's a lot late, and it's time to punish it. ”
Ouyang Zhen stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Lady Liuguo Wan'an." The concubine was greedy for the scenery, so she was late, so she asked Mrs. Liu Guo to forgive her sins. ”
Mrs. Liu Guo stepped forward with a smile, took her hand and took her seat, and said with a smile: "Come on, pour three cups, this time the palace will not spare you." ”
As he spoke, someone from the palace stepped forward to pour wine. The rest of the palace concubines and show girls also giggled and watched.
Ouyang Zhen saw that the wine was green, and a sweet and sour smell rushed up. Smell the mouth salivation.
She was still in the early stages of pregnancy, looked at it, and drank it with a smile. After drinking a cup and laughing: "Concubine Rong screamed, where is this concubine late, it is obvious that the sisters and sisters are early." Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Liu Guo's pair of crescent eyes narrowed into two good-looking arcs with a smile, and said with a slight sneer: "Look, this mouth can speak, it is obvious that you are lazy and don't go out." It's to blame that we came early. ”
As he spoke, he urged her to drink the other two glasses. Ouyang Zhen was urged by her, so he had to drink, the plum wine was slightly lukewarm in the mouth, sweet and sour, very delicious, and he would not get drunk if he drank too much.
When everyone saw her simply, they all smiled and wanted to come forward to toast. Ouyang Zhen hurriedly said: "Sisters and sisters, please spare me, if you drink it again, you will be really drunk." ”
Mrs. Liu Guo also smiled and said: "Go, you drink yours, why does this palace want to drink two cups with Sister Ouyang, you also come to intervene." Don't feed her, but I don't see that she's still pregnant. ”
Then the people dispersed. But I saw a show girl dressed in a light purple palace dress stepped forward and saluted: "The concubine wants to drink this cup of Rou Fangyi Niangniang, and the concubine still has a lot of things to ask Rou Fangyi Niangniang for advice." ”
Ouyang Zhen looked at it, it turned out to be Guo Minghong, her face was full of spring, and the light purple palace dress made her slightly childish face a little mature.
Ouyang Zhen said with a smile: "Little Master Guo said that he wanted to ask the palace something, and the palace would dare to drink this glass of wine." ”
Guo Minghong stood up, looked Ouyang Zhen up and down with a pair of eyes, and then said with a smile: "The concubine wants to ask Rou Fangyi Niangniang, how can she win the emperor's favor." ”
As soon as she said this, the people in the pavilion fell silent. Ouyang Zhen's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at her face, only to see two clusters of flames shooting out of her smiling eyes, and that expression was as if he was going to eat her.
Ouyang Zhen smiled: "Then I can't drink this wine." ”
Guo Minghong was stunned for a moment, and said with an aggrieved face: "What does Rou Fangyi mean is that she doesn't share this secret to the emperor's favor with the sisters?" ”
All the palace concubines and show girls sat at the bottom, and they all looked at Ouyang Zhen, and they all made it clear that they wanted to watch a good show.
Ouyang Zhen was not in a hurry, turned his head and smiled at Mrs. Liu Guo: "Mrs. Liu Guo, take a look, if you follow what Junior Master Guo wants, should the concubine ask Mrs. Liu Guo for advice on how to get a man in one fell swoop." ”
