Chapter 230: Praise-style debasement, Dogwood
At this moment, Qian Yan saw the few tired concubines with a look of surprise and loss.
Those concubines thought that they could brush their faces in front of the emperor, show their proud posture, and win the emperor's love.
Who knew that the next moment, he fell into the trough.
It sounds good to let them rest for a while and then go down the mountain the same way.
To put it mildly, the emperor annoyed them and kicked them out in advance!
So how do they compete for favor? How to fight the rest of the concubines? And how to hook the emperor's heart to them?
Hey, they're thinking too much.
The emperor never pities the jade in the bed, let alone at this time?
After Jiang Cairen heard this, he said with a bewildered face: "Emperor, Emperor, the concubine suddenly feels that she is not so tired, and she has strength." ”
Another concubine chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, climbing the mountain is actually quite good, good for the body." ”
However, Ying Zhan smiled unrelentingly, "Climbing the mountain during the Double Ninth Festival is based on personal physical condition, since the concubines are tired, why should they be reluctant to be alone." ”
As he spoke, the man paused slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "Or is it to say that the concubines are so rebellious, are they bullying the king?" ”
Ying Zhan's eyes glanced at the concubines sharply, and her eyes were full of indifference and arrogance that people dared not approach.
For a while, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, even a little cold.
was so frightened that the delicate concubines didn't dare to look at the emperor, but said in unison: "The concubines don't dare." ”
Seeing this, Ying Zhan clapped his hands slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come on, send a few Jiang Cairen back to the dormitory!" ”
With that, he turned around and continued his way up to the heights.
The rest of the minions and concubines followed.
Next, something like Jiang Cairen happened, and the concubines next to him didn't dare to shout tired.
Even if it was a real foot pain, he gritted his teeth and persevered, not daring to complain in the slightest.
Nearly an hour later, everyone finally climbed to the top of Longyu Mountain.
When I reached the top of the mountain, there were chrysanthemums all over the mountain.
Those chrysanthemum-flowers glow golden in the golden autumn sun.
There is also a splendid palace and three pavilions on the hill.
Tilt Yan glanced around and saw a group of armor-clad Foresters waiting there early.
There is a high platform at the top of the mountain, on which an incense table is set up.
On the incense table are offerings such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, and wine.
Under the arrangement of the palace maids and eunuchs, Ying Zhan took the palace concubines to worship the emperor and ancestors in front of the incense table.
During the sacrifice, Qian Yan and Liu Guiren were arranged together.
Liu Guiren suddenly approached Qian Yan and said quietly: "The concubine is about the same color as the concubine's clothes today, but white doesn't seem to suit you very well, because you are too plump." ”
This sounds like a boast of Tanyan's good figure, but in fact, it is secretly poking and poking at Tanyan to say that Tanyan is fat.
Tilting his face turned his head, he looked at the smiling eyes of the noble man of Kamiyanagi.
She also smiled and glanced at Liu Guiren.
I don't know where to say that Liu Guiren deliberately appeared to be kind, but in fact, he said something to her.
In order to deliberately provoke her and make her lose her temper in public.
In this regard, she had a gentle smile on her face, calmly attached to Liu Guiren's ear.
In a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, he said, "Yes, white is fat, and it is more suitable for slender people, so I added red lines and plum blossoms to this dress." ”
"And this palace is really envious of Sister Liu, who is so petite and lovely. I would like to ask you, what is your maintenance secret? How do you make it difficult to distinguish between the front and back when you just look at the body and not the face? ”
The translation of this sentence is: you are small and flat, and your body is not a little curved.
In fact, Liu Guiren's figure is not very flat, but because of his skinny body, the curve is extremely obvious.
But Liu Guiren belongs to the kind that is too skinny, and his face belongs to the kind of flesh and bones.
In this way, Liu Guiren is naturally more petite and flat than Tanyan.
Who made Liu Guiren praise her face on the surface, but in fact, she was sarcastic and fatter than her.
Then, the face also seems to praise Liu Guiren for being petite, and in turn despise Liu Guiren Ping.
Who wouldn't hide needles in the cotton?!
Hearing Yan Yan's words, the smile on Liu Guiren's face became stronger, but there was a faint anger burning in his eyes.
In the eyes of everyone, Qian Yan and Liu Guiren were chatting like a spring breeze.
But only the two of them know how much they don't like each other.
After scolding the Liu nobles, he poured his face like no one else, and inserted incense into the incense burner.
Liu Guiren followed closely behind to insert incense, and the personal palace maid beside her whispered: "Little master, I think she is jealous of you, she lives with you in the Pear Palace, and seeing that you have been favored by the emperor recently, she deliberately made things difficult for you, saying unpleasant things to ridicule you." ”
"Besides, if you weren't favored, when the emperor came up to pour the pear hall, she would follow the light, so that the emperor was favored a few times, what is there to be proud of?"
I have to say that the master and servant feel really good about themselves.
Obviously, they were the first to speak disrespectfully, but it turned out to be deliberately difficult.
It is also obvious that Liu Guiren is stained with the light of favoring his face, but the palace maid thinks that Liu Guiren is the most favored, and she takes advantage of it.
And from beginning to end, they are the most proud.
"Be quiet." Liu Guiren said in a low voice.
After the sacrifice, the emperor held a banquet in the pavilion.
The gazebo is very large and has two marble tables of eight immortals.
Ying Zhan sat at the main table with the concubines above the concubine position.
The rest of the low-ranking concubines sat at another table.
The minions spread chongyang cakes, pengbait, chrysanthemum wine, snacks and so on on the table.
The chongyang cake has nine layers, like a pagoda.
Two lambs were made on it to conform to the meaning of "Chongyang".
There was also a bunch of dogwood on top of the cake.
Here, during the Double Ninth Festival, wearing dogwood, eating canopy bait, and drinking chrysanthemum wine can make people live longer.
If you stick chrysanthemum branches and leaves on doors and windows, you can also remove the evil and attract good luck.
Originally, the concubines could still fly paper kites, but because they were tired of climbing the mountain, where did they still have the strength to fly kites.
One by one, just sit in the gazebo to rest, drink tea and eat snacks to replenish their strength.
The color of the yang cake is bright.
There are five colors: bright red, turquoise, tender yellow, white, and bean paste, so I think it looks good and should be delicious.
She asked Aunt Qin to help her get a piece, but when she took a bite, it was sweet or sweet.
Even the red and green preserved fruits are sweet and greasy, not to mention the bean paste-colored bean paste.
Eating a small piece of pastry is as filling as cutting a cake!
During this period, Tilt Yan accidentally ate a red and bright dogwood.
Because the dogwood is sour and astringent, it relieves the sweetness of the face.
Tanyan's eyes swept over the table, there was a dogwood, which was originally inserted in the chongyang cake.
Nowadays pastries are cut into small pieces, and dogwood has long been placed on the table.
He quietly took the string of dogwoods, held the branches and leaves in one hand, and ate the dogwoods on it with the other.
Even though the dogwood was sour and astringent, she was getting more and more energetic the more she ate.
Ying Zhan originally swept it casually, and saw that there was a woman who was different.
Others are drinking chrysanthemum-flower wine, appreciating flowers, and eating dogwood cakes.
She was the only one who was carelessly pinching the dogwood and eating.
Even when she dresses up, she is different from others.
The concubines next to her were dressed in red and green, dressed up in a fancy way.
Otherwise, it is extremely elegant, or clean.
She was the only one wearing a one-shoulder top and trousers.
Others wear one-shoulder clothes, which are all pulled below the collarbone, and the clothes are hung on the body by the figure, which is not ungaudy.
Her straight shoulders are just right, revealing only a snow-white swan neck and sexy collarbone, as well as half a rounded pearl shoulder.
The fiery red belt and the red lines on the collar added a bit of charm to her.
The makeup on the face is not too bright, but fresh and sweet.
The whole dress is classical with a bit of femininity, pure and charming, and a sense of cleanliness.
The tassel earrings swayed with her movements, adding a bit of agility to her.
In the end, Ying Zhan's gaze fell on the dogwood in the woman's hand.
When she raised her hand to put the dogwood in her mouth, the cuffs slipped, revealing her wrists as white as clotted fat.
However, he didn't look too much, and withdrew his eyes after just one glance.
Yan Yan was eating dogwood, not paying attention to the emperor.
Concubine Jing on the side saw her eating dogwood, and she also pinched one and tasted it.
As a result, after tasting it, he spit it out in disgust, "Xiao Yanyan, how can you eat this kind of sour tooth thing?" ”
"Sour?" Qian Yan ate another dogwood, "The sour is also better than the sweet and greasy Chongyang cake." ”
For a while, the conversation between the two attracted the attention of some concubines.
Especially Concubine Wen and Concubine Hui, looking at the dogwood in Yan Yan's hand, they couldn't help but turn their eyes slightly.
They are all people who have been pregnant with the emperor's heir, and those who are pregnant are the most sour.
"That's right." Although Concubine Jing is very arrogant on weekdays, she is actually very delicate.
At this moment, she felt the strange gazes of the concubines, and hurriedly echoed her face, "Come, I'll eat a few more to relieve the sweetness in my mouth." ”
So, Qian Yan and Concubine Jing ate dogwood together.
The concubines who were originally staring at Yan Yan saw that Concubine Jing was also eating happily, so they felt that there was nothing strange about it, but they were thinking too much.
Besides, the emperor has always given concubines to avoid children.
Even if Concubine Jing is pregnant, it is impossible for a concubine to be pregnant.
Moreover, when they heard Concubine Jing say that, they also felt that the chongyang cake was sweet and greasy, and even wanted to eat dogwood.
However, there was only one dogwood on the table, and it was all in the hands of the concubine.
But they were not familiar with the concubines, so they couldn't eat the dogwood in the hands of the concubines like Concubine Jing, so they had to drink some tea to relieve their greasy.
After about half an hour, everyone had eaten almost all and rested.
Li Zhong reported the time in the emperor's ear.
As soon as he heard that it was noon, Ying Zhan lifted the corners of his robe and got up, saying that he was going down the mountain to return to the palace.
The concubines sweetly replied "yes".
At the same time, their attention was all on the bag hanging under His Majesty the Emperor's shirt.
The emperor's clothes covered the bag, and only the corner of the bag was exposed, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that the emperor lifts the hem, the whole bag is presented in the eyes of everyone.
It was a bright yellow solid color bag, and the stitches were extremely unstable, like a centipede crawling.
