That Chen Jieyu is a little mature, but she is not more than twenty years old, she wears a green robe, and a mink is wrapped around her neck, which looks graceful and noble, but her eyes are particularly slender, and she always seems to squint when looking at people, she smiled at Yue'er: "Niangniang, there are just a few of us today, and we are not outsiders, so we don't need to cover our faces with a scarf, right?" ”

Yue'er waved her hand and said, "This sister is used to it." ”

After chatting a few words, Chen Jieyu and Chu Meiren put Yue'er aside.

Yue'er didn't want to speak, so she turned around and paced in the garden.

A corner of the garden is a gazebo, what is amazing is that there is a screen on the side of the gazebo, Yue'er is close to the gazebo, a warmth will come to the face, the outside is icy and snowy, here is actually warm as spring.

There was a palace maid standing in front of the pavilion, it was Ji Hong.

"Duanfei Niangniang, the villain greets you-"

Ji Hong bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Yue'er waved her hand and walked through the screen.

In the pavilion is a stone table with melons and fruit snacks on it, as well as six dice cups, and four pots of charcoal fire in the four corners, no wonder it is not cold here.

Yue'er secretly admired, it seems that Jing Guiyi has put a lot of thought into today's plum blossom appreciation bureau, playing here, you can enjoy the flowers while playing, but it is ingenious, she turned her eyes and found that there were only four seats in the pavilion, and couldn't help but wonder: "There are five guests here today, plus Jing Guiyi herself, a total of six people, but there are only four positions, and there are still two people to stand, how to play this, is it the lower position that loses, play around?" ”

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside, and Yue'er walked out of the pavilion only to see Lin Zhaoyi pulling a woman in simple clothes to appear in the garden.

The woman has a graceful and luxurious temperament, she has a cloud bun on her head, only a silver hairpin embellished on the bun, and she is not wearing earrings, and she is wearing a Qingluo embroidered Zhai clothes, she looks only in her thirties, her complexion is fair, she is very well maintained, and her body is not fat, Yue'er recognized that this is the first concubine in the first row of the stage at the Queen Mother's banquet that day, and sure enough, she is Concubine Shu Xian.

And they came forward to greet him.

Concubine Shu Xian raised her palms and smiled: "Sisters, you don't have to be polite. ”

Lin Zhaoyi wore a red placket today, and she looked a little cumbersome, but she was young, so she didn't wear heavy makeup on her face.

"Concubine Xian is at home, and being able to come to this small gathering today is really to give my sister face."

Lin Zhaoyi's voice today was a little weird, a little hoarse, for some reason, although she said to Jing Guiyi, her face was pale, obviously thinking that she could invite Concubine Xian, or save her face.

Several concubines nodded again and again.

"Sisters, don't be polite, my sister is not in good health, and she is sick all day long, I, I am only the same as Concubine Yuan in the palace, otherwise I must often participate in everyone's small gatherings."

Concubine Yuan is the mother concubine of the fifth prince Zhaoshu, she almost stays at home, and she doesn't even participate in the daily greetings to the queen mother.

Concubine Shu Xian said politely, but her eyes looked at Yue'er.

Jing Guiyi said: "Concubine Xian's body is still much better than that of Concubine Yuan, so it would be good to participate in more small gatherings like this in the future." ”

Yue'er bowed to Concubine Shu Xian to show her salute.

Lin Zhaoyi finally spoke to Yue'er.

"Concubine Duanniang, you cover your face with a scarf again, teach us to be unnatural, why don't you take it?"

Chu Meiren echoed: "Yes, yes, I said just now, there are only a few of us sisters here, and we won't dislike the ugly appearance of the mother." ”

Yue'er sneered in her heart and said secretly: "Are you starting to embarrass me now?" She said: "My appearance, the sisters have not seen it, I really want to take it off, I am afraid that the scenery at this time will be ruined." ”

"It's okay, we're not afraid."

Lin Zhaoyi's words were sarcastic.

"Yes, let's see if the Snow Lotus Beauty and Muscle Cream of the Chagatai Khanate has any curative effect, if there is, next time which sister scratches again, I will ask the Chagatai Khanate to send more."

Chu Meiren said helpfully, and actually reached out to uncover Yue'er's tulle.

Yue'er reached out and grabbed Chu Meiren's wrist and twisted it hard, and Chu Meiren immediately bared her teeth in pain.

"Oops, it hurts me to death, sister, what are you doing!"

Jing Guiyi was busy playing the round.

"Concubine Duan is unwilling, so don't be reluctant."

"Who said I don't want to, I just don't work for my sister!"

Yue'er said, taking off the veil, her human skin mask is very close, and the face revealed at this time has changed a lot from the last time, although it is still pitted, but the outline of her facial features appears, and it does not look ugly.

Concubine Shu Xian sighed.

"Sister, is this the effect of using Snow Lotus Cream?"

"Yes, sister."

"Then you can use it a few more times, right?"

"I don't know, but the bottle given by the Queen Mother has run out."

Yue'er deliberately said this, so that these people extinguished this thought.

Sure enough, Lin Zhaoyi and the others were a little disappointed.

Chu Meidao: "Sister, today you are the east, wait and play, what a big bottom, my sister is so poor, don't play too much." ”

Lin Zhaoyi pursed her lips and said, "I heard that Li Fengjun and them are all one hundred, and today the virtuous concubine is here, there must be two hundred, right?" ”

"Okay, good, two hundred sisters can afford it!"

When Chu Meiren said this to Jing Guiyi, she squinted at Yue'er.

Yue'er sneered in her heart, sure enough, as soon as they came, they wanted to make a fool of themselves, but fortunately, she won Jin Cai yesterday, and she brought all her belongings today, which amounted to more than four hundred taels.

Jing Guiyi said: "Today, Concubine Xian has the final say. ”

Concubine Shu Xian covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "I rarely participate in such small gatherings, anyway, I will play as big as everyone plays, as long as you think it is appropriate." ”

"Okay, then two hundred."

"Oh, Concubine Duan, do you have any opinions?"

Chu Meiren asked deliberately.

"I have no opinion."

"Oh, I almost forgot, Concubine Duan's luck, but it's amazing, you don't have to do it, you can draw the last lot!"

Jing Guiyi led the five people around the garden.

After turning to the pavilion, Yue'er saw a guqin on a stone table behind the screen, and there were also two positions here, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't go down when she walked to the pavilion just now, and she didn't expect that there was an arrangement behind the screen.

Jing Guiyi said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone is from a famous family, this piano is played very well, I have time today, please try my sisters, how about it, let's see who is the best?" ”

Lin Zhaoyi applauded: "That must be the first virtuous concubine, the emperor was shocked by the song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" by the mother, in the harem, who dares to get an axe in front of the virtuous concubine?" ”

A few days ago, Yue'er asked Zhou Shanggong for the piano, but Zhou Shanggong kept dragging it.

Chen Jieyu, who had never spoken, shook her head at this time and said: "No, no, Sister Shu is here, who of you still has a show, my sister thinks that she should be the judge and see who is the most powerful among us." ”

Concubine Shu Xian smiled and said, "Yes, my sister has never heard a few sisters play the piano, so it must be amazing." ”

Chu Meiren deliberately pouted and said: "Unfair, unfair, except for the virtuous concubine, the most powerful must be Sister Ting, so ah, in the palace, the virtuous concubine is the first, and the second sister Ting!" ”

The Lin family has been an official for generations, so Lin Zhaoyi has excellent conditions, she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, her father Lin Chengyong, is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and there are three mountains in the Dawei court, they are Sikong Man, Gao Taiwei and Lin Chengyong.

Jing Guiyi looked a little confused and asked, "If that's the case, how can you compare?" ”

Chen Jieyu said: "It's better to be the most rusty, who is at the bottom, who will be fined three glasses of wine?" ”

"Okay, okay—"

Chu Meiren immediately applauded.

Jing Guiyi said aggrievedly: "Then Concubine Xian Niangniang and Lin Zhaoyi don't have to make a move, just the four of us." ”

"Four is four."

Chen Jieyu had a clever smile on her face.

Yue'er saw that they didn't ask for their consent, so they set a punishment, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, Lin Zhaoyi really wanted to punish her for drinking, but she might not be able to do it.

Chu Meiren was the first to sit on the piano platform.

"Then my sister will be the first to offer ugliness, please ask Concubine Xian to evaluate it."

Concubine Shu Xian nodded, looking full of interest.
