Chapter 390: The Red Lady
The Baihua class is an all-kun class, and all of them are women, from the class owner to the dragon set. In the past two years, the palace has celebrated festivals, and all the people invited are the Baihua class.
The head of the Baihua class is named Red Lady, when she was young, she was a famous Hua Dan in the south, and later when she got older, she pulled up the opera troupe, and became an instant hit, from the south to the capital, and now the dignitaries in the capital want to invite the Baihua class to sing in the house, and pay a deposit three months in advance. In addition to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, even if Concubine Mao wants to invite them into the palace to sing, she must not do it until three or five days in advance.
Although even the imperial doctor said that Mao Guifei's leg injury was not serious, but after a hundred days of injuries, the emperor felt sorry for the concubine and insisted on letting her not move around at will, so the emperor asked people to set up a stage in Yuehua Palace overnight, so that Mao Guifei could watch the play in her own bedroom.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the emperor's favor for the concubine, and this favor is not comparable even to the dead Concubine Lin Shu, not to mention the queen who has always respected the emperor like "ice".
For this reason, these Jieyu and beauties who only entered the palace last year are envious, their status is low, even if they are favored by the emperor, they will not have this kind of favor, unless...... Unless they can conceive a prince and princess, yes, even if it is a princess, the emperor does not have a child at the moment, even if it is a daughter, it will be highly valued.
Of course, this is just the thoughts of these low-ranking women, and if the queen hears it, she will only smile coldly.
Princess? What is the use of the Queen Mother asking for a princess? Can the princess sit in that chair instead of the emperor?
On the day when the Baihua class came to Yuehua Palace, although Concubine Mao also sent an invitation to the queen, the queen did not come.
The queen is jealous!
As early as when Concubine Lin Shu died, the queen's reputation for jealousy had long spread throughout the court and the opposition, and now Concubine Lin Shu is dead, but Concubine Mao is favored again, and the favor is far greater than that of Concubine Lin Shu back then, of course the queen will not be happy, let alone give Concubine Mao her stinky feet.
Although Mao Guifei's father, Mao Yuanjiu, is a secretary of the ministry, and his position is like Zaifu, Mao Guifei can also be regarded as half of the Yang family. But compared to the queen, the real Yang family, it is still a little worse.
If you talk about the foundation, of course, it is the queen who is deeper.
Isn't it a fool to offend the queen in order to curry favor with Concubine Mao?
Therefore, the Baihua class sang lively on the stage, but there were only three masters in the Yuehua Palace, Mao Guifei, Meng Meiren and Jiao Meiren sitting in the audience.
The concubines in the other palaces all had such and such unavoidable reasons, this stomach hurt, that head hurts, in short, none of them came.
Concubine Mao rolled her eyes, this palace didn't want you to come over from the bottom of her heart.
But this matter still reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was distressed, and he didn't even participate in the court meeting after the next dynasty, and hurriedly returned to Yuehua Palace to listen to the play with his concubine.
For the courtiers, it didn't matter whether the emperor participated in the court meeting or not, he was just a decoration, so whether he wanted to go to the theater or go to the court in broad daylight, no one would say anything.
But Meng Meiren and Jiao Meiren were very embarrassed, they finally saw the emperor, but the emperor made it clear that he didn't want to listen to the play with them, and the two ate a few soft nails in a row, so they went back to their respective rooms under the pretext of dizziness.
In the end, only the emperor accompanied Concubine Ai to listen to the play, and after listening to it, the emperor picked up Concubine Ai and went into the house, leaving only the actors of the Baihua class babbling on stage.
In the afternoon, the emperor was still in Concubine Mao's house, except for the water at the beginning, he didn't call anyone in again, thinking that he was very tired and asleep.
Concubine Mao's henchman Yang Mei came out and informed the Baihua class that she could go back today and come back tomorrow.
The next day, the emperor did not have an early dynasty.
It wasn't until near noon, when the Baihua class came to Yuehua Palace to sing for Mao Guifei again, that the emperor reappeared in front of people, and this time he did not continue to accompany Mao Guifei to watch the play, but went to the imperial study.
Compared with the day before, the young son of heaven was in good spirits, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were bright spring rays that could not be hidden.
In Chaoyang Palace, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Let the people from the Tai Hospital go and check the emperor's diet and incense in Yuehua Palace, and see if there is anything that should not be used for the emperor." ”
Soon, the people from the Tai Hospital came over and told the Empress Dowager that even the garbage thrown out of the Yuehua Palace had been checked, and there was nothing unusual.
It seems that the only thing that can make the emperor look new is the concubine on the bed.
Of course, the news that the Tai Hospital came to check the Yuehua Palace did not hide it for long, there was no impermeable wall under the sky, and the next day, when the emperor did not have an early dynasty again, it spread throughout the harem.
Concubine Mao is really a vixen, is she going to eat the emperor and wipe it clean?
The Empress Dowager sent supplements, and the queen naturally followed, and the other concubines saw it, although they didn't dare to send supplements, but they also changed their tricks to send things over.
The Baihua class sang in the Yuehua Palace for three days, and the emperor did not go to the early court for three days.
In the night, two figures flashed into a courtyard, they were a man and a woman, the man's appearance was ordinary, so ordinary that people couldn't remember his appearance; The woman is charming and gorgeous, like a blooming rose.
The male is Xiao Dong, and the female is the proprietress of the red sleeve trick and the red sleeve.
And waiting for them in this courtyard is the red lady, the head of the Baihua class.
"What about people?" Zhao Hongsleeve didn't greet him, and asked directly.
The red lady pointed to the moon cave door behind her and smiled softly: "It's turning the dragon and the phoenix inside." ”
Zhao Hongsleeve smacked his tongue: "For three days in a row, in the future, the one should not even be able to hold back the, and it will flow smoothly." ”
The red lady scolded with a smile: "You have such a mouth, and you don't scold your little brother." ”
Xiao Dong, who was following behind Zhao Hongsleeve, was indeed blushing, he involuntarily twisted his farts (shares), and suddenly found that the two women were looking at him, and hurriedly lowered his head.
The Red Lady and Zhao Hongsleeves covered their mouths with handkerchiefs to eat and laugh, but immediately after, they flashed into the moon cave door like two carps.
They didn't even tell Xiao Dong whether to go in with him or to take the wind outside.
Because there is no need to think about these things at all, the fact that the red lady can wait for them here shows that the people who Mao Guifei put here have been restrained.
At this moment, the people in the Moon Cave Gate are already in their pockets.
Walking into the moon cave gate, there is an exquisite garden inside, with flowers and trees sparse, and gurgling water surrounding several fine houses.
The red lady stretched out her finger and pointed to the house that showed a warm light, indicating that the person was inside.
Zhao Hongsleeve stopped, she looked at the light, and smiled at the red lady.
"Senior Sister Hong, you are doing well in the south, why do you remember the capital?"
The red lady was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "At this time, why did you remember to ask this?" ”
