Chapter 734: The Concubine, Please
The queen has nothing to do so far, and she is devoted to the Buddha, and she is not just turning a blind eye to the things in the palace, that is, her eyes are completely closed, and the concubines are making trouble.
In the past, on occasions like this, Concubine Zheng was accompanied by the emperor, but she suffered a great disaster in this production, and her body was not well maintained at this time, so she did not attend for fear of seeing the wind.
But the ladies can't be left unentertained, so it's the queen's turn.
The queen had a blank face, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the hall, and the female guests were speculating about her mood, and they didn't dare to show their joy, let alone congratulations - congratulating Zheng Guifei on the queen's son, didn't she deliberately stab the queen in the heart? Although Ji Yu felt that she might not care about the queen's empty appearance, she wouldn't talk too much.
In contrast, Emperor Wande's side, sometimes stroking his palms and laughing, and sometimes giving wine to his ministers, can really be called a dragon's face and a great joy.
But......
Ji Yu narrowed her eyes.
Today's Wande Emperor is indeed radiant, but for Ji Yu, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of patients, it is not difficult to see the gray color at the bottom through that layer of appearance.
She calculated, Emperor Wande should be less than fifty years old this year, and he has run out of oil and dried up in the age of no doubt......
Emperor Wande's arm trembled suddenly, and the wine glass that was raised in mid-air fell to the ground, and his face was already white and blue in the blink of an eye.
The queen noticed it, and Fan Xian, who was standing next to her, also noticed it.
The queen withdrew her gaze indifferently, but Fan Xian faintly showed an anxious look.
While the dance and music in the hall were in full swing, and no one noticed anything abnormal for the time being, Fan Xian walked to Emperor Wande and handed out his arm, using the position to block the view of the ministers, and at the same time allowing Emperor Wande to support his body.
"Your Majesty, you approved the folds until late at night yesterday, and you caught a cold, and the imperial doctor ordered you, and you couldn't ...... it."
Coincidentally, Zheng Guogong, who was closest to him, listened.
So under his leadership, the ministers stood up and asked His Majesty to return to the inner palace to rest.
Under the cover of Fan Xian, Emperor Wande handed over the overall situation to King Lao An to preside, and then forcibly said "Aiqing people are happy", and was helped down.
This happens in an instant, and most people don't even notice it.
Ji Yu couldn't eat it at all this time, and the worry in her heart deepened.
From her standpoint, she naturally looks forward to the death of Emperor Wande, but death is also timely.
If the war in Liaodong is not over, and Emperor Wande closes his eyes and leaves, then the Zheng Party will inevitably strike first, and he will only be afraid of ...... I don't have much time left on my side.
Half a day after the banquet, Jingyang Palace sent a palace maid to pass the word, saying that Concubine Zheng wanted to meet the ladies of various mansions.
There are few confused people here, and they know very well in their hearts that Concubine Zheng Guifei is doing this just to show that she is the main master today.
The queen didn't care, waved her hand, and directly agreed.
Ji Yu and the ladies went to Jingyang Palace together, and when they arrived at the place, they were told that Concubine Zheng had not yet dressed up, so everyone had to wait in the courtyard.
The atmosphere suddenly became delicate.
Ji Yu stood alone in a corner, and could feel countless tangible and invisible eyes falling on her, but she didn't know it, admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
In fact, most of the people present were all acquaintances she had made before, Jiankang Hou Mansion, Guangde Hou Mansion, Zhongqin Bo Mansion, and Huining Bo Mansion...... There is also the Jingguo Mansion.
But at that time, her identity was the daughter of the Marquis of Hanchang, so whether it was a real deed or not, everyone would give some face.
Now she is standing here, representing the Min Wanghou Mansion, and the face given by everyone will only be more, not less, but the conversation is very happy, but there is no more, and even if she is close to her, she is afraid of being suspected of colluding with the Min Wangfu, not to mention that it is in Jingyang Palace, under the nose of Zheng Guifei.
Ji Yu didn't care much.
is either the daughter of the Hou Mansion or the righteous sister of the prince, anyway, it is never her that others see, so why should she care.
What's more, although all the women present are women, in the case that every move affects the whole clan, it is normal for people to act like this.
And it's just isolated, and there is no turning heads and scolding Huai, which is already good.
Ji Yu would not pretend to be amorous and think that this kind of "leaving a line" is for her own face, and the reason is very clear to her.
One is because the occasion is wrong.
Fang is the Baohe Palace, this is the Jingyang Palace, no matter which place it is, it is not a place for gossip in the market, let alone these cautious women and young ladies.
The second is because of King Min's mansion.
Everyone is afraid of Min Wangfu, and they are afraid that Zheng Guifei will misunderstand that her family is colluding with Min Wangfu, but she does not dare to blatantly offend Min Wangfu. After all, the dispute over the East Palace has not yet reached the time when the coffin is really closed. There are all kinds of accidents, even if this is ten points small, it will inevitably sow disasters in the future, it is better to be careful.
Ji Yu's heart is like a mirror, so in this weird silence, she leisurely admires her flowers and is not disturbed at all.
Today, the female dependents of the Marquis of Hanchang Mansion only came to Wei Jiayan.
When Mrs. Wei was ill for a long time, Wei was grounded again, and on such days, the Marquis of Han Chang refused to let her out, so she could only be replaced by Wei Jiayan.
It is indeed a bit nondescript to appear on such an occasion as her, but she has been quite close to Zheng Huarui recently, so she didn't say anything to attend on her behalf today.
Speaking of which, Zheng Huarui has recently entered the palace many times to visit the little prince, and several times she has taken Wei Jiayan with her, and she usually invites Wei Jiayan to the General's Mansion as a companion, but she has separated from Jing Mingzhu, at least not as close as before she left the cabinet.
Jing Mingzhu didn't know what everyone was thinking, and stared at Ji Yu's back not far away, her eyes and mood were equally complicated.
Putting aside the previous contradictions and awkwardness, if she was so isolated in public, although she would not be too out of shape, she would definitely not feel good.
At that time, she must have hoped that someone could stand with her......
Thinking of this, Jing Mingzhu strengthened her mind.
Just as he was about to take a step, he was pulled by his sleeve.
"Mingzhu, I recently made a new painting, and I want to ask you to taste one or two."
Jing Mingzhu turned around and saw that it was Wei Jiayan, and said a little perfunctory: "Let's do it another day." ”
Seeing that she was going to go that way, Wei Jiayan simply blocked her way.
"Mingzhu, we represent more than ourselves, you must be calm. Although I also sympathize with my sister's plight, you are my friend, and I don't want to see you either......"
Jing Mingzhu looked at Wei Jiayan and slowly locked her eyebrows.
Since Wei Jiayan and Zheng Huarui approached, Zheng Huarui gradually distanced herself from her, and seemed to have some misunderstanding about her. Later, I learned through a mutual friend that it was Wei Jiayan who told Zheng Huarui about her relationship with Ji Yu.
After Jing Mingzhu returned to Beijing, he did move around with Zheng Huarui less, one was out of the cabinet and the other was unmarried, and it was not as convenient to meet as when he was in the boudoir, and there were fewer and fewer topics to talk about.
During this period, she got acquainted with Ji Yu and got along very happily, and Ji Yu entered King Min's Mansion again, and King Min's Mansion and Zheng Guogong's Mansion were still rivals......
Zheng Huarui would think more, it seems reasonable.
Jing Mingzhu explained, but Zheng Huarui didn't listen, and she was tired once or twice.
Maybe the friendship of the young people will change after all, and manpower can't stop it, not to mention that there are still people who stir up trouble.
However, Jing Mingzhu didn't care much about this person who stirred up trouble.
has been a friend for many years, and would rather believe in others than herself, this is what really makes her sigh.
Jing Mingzhu looked at Wei Jiayan and smiled.
"I am not the only friend of yours, I heard that General Shenwu's wife entered the palace early today to accompany the concubine, why don't you go to her and talk about your paintings."
Wei Jiayan's face froze, and before she could say anything, Jing Mingzhu had already avoided her and walked towards Ji Yu.
As he approached, a maid came out of the inner hall.
"The concubine is invited."
