As he spoke, he took out a delicate pendant from his bosom, a half-moon-shaped high-grade blood amber, and the flower shell insect in it was still clearly visible, "This blood pearl is Yuwei has worn since childhood, and today I want to give it to the queen mother to enjoy, and I hope that the mother will not dislike it." ”

The extremely bright blood-red color, lined with white hands, is more bright and dazzling, and at a glance, you can see that it is a rare good thing.

Queen Zhang looked at it with a smile, instructed the maid to take it, and said with a smile: "It's hard for my sister to be so heartfelt, and she is willing to give away such a superb blood amber, so the palace has no choice but to be disrespectful." ”

All the women seemed to regret a little, and they were all secretly sighing that they had missed such an opportunity to please them, but the maids of Fengyi Palace did not wait for them to pick up things, so they hurriedly led them out of the hall.

"Niangniang---- The eyeliner eunuch arranged by the queen in the palace hurriedly trotted over, attached himself to the ear of Queen Zhang, and said in a low voice: "There is news from Yingchuan in front, saying that Princess Ding is pregnant again, and now she is preparing to enter Beijing with King Ding." ”

"Song Zichu is pregnant again?" Queen Zhang was taken aback when she heard this, withdrew her gaze from the body of the show girl in the distance, raised her hand to retreat from the palace people in the corner of the hall, frowned and said: "This is not a small matter, does the emperor know?" ”

"Yes." The man nodded again and again, and asked, "The slave is a little worried, this time King Ding and Princess Ding returned to the palace, and the emperor seems to treat it very seriously." I don't know what the mother is going to do? ”

Queen Zhang naturally understood what he said, Jun Yuxuan was so attentive to Song Zichu before, and later Shangguan was polite. These two women are enough to verify that the emperor is a long-term and dedicated man, otherwise, how to explain that in the nearly a year after Shangguan Wanshu's death, there has never been a real favorite concubine in the harem?

is now Concubine Xi, but because the emperor passed by her palace one night after drinking, she was invited to go back and rest for a night. In a daze, the two had such a thing. Afterwards, it is said that the emperor sent someone to give her a child-avoiding medicine very calmly, and in order to seal her mouth, he gave her a seemingly glorious concubine. Of course, at the root of it, it is because Concubine Xi's maiden family is a powerful arm of the emperor in the court, otherwise, if you change someone else, you may not know what to do!

As for how Shen Guifei's position as a noble concubine came about, it was even simpler. The queen knew everything about Shen Rongrong, and naturally knew that the emperor only gave her such a position for the sake of her mother's family.

It's not a good thing to go on like this, as a queen, no matter how unfavorable she is, she must have a son of her own, so that she can sit firmly in the middle palace.

Empress Zhang raised her hand to stop her eyeliner and spoke, "You go down first and let the palace be quiet." ”

As the time for the newlyweds to enter the palace passed day by day, the emperor's attitude towards the newlyweds gradually became different. Among them, Ge Guiren is delicate and lovely, has a lot of sex and laughter, and has a bit of a girl's unscrupulous words and deeds, and is the most fortunate among newcomers.

In addition, Jiang Jieyu in the same palace also has a bit of grace, and the two of them are close together, and even the errand of the Jade Cui Palace has become hot for a while.

The originally peaceful harem was slightly turbulent, but except for Shen Guifei, who often complained a few words when she gave the queen a quiet time, Concubine Xi was at ease with this, and the remaining concubines were not favored in the past, but now after seeing the newcomers enter the palace, they are even quieter, so most of the time has passed, and they are all right.

After the newlyweds enter the palace, it is customary to let the concubines and concubines of the palace get together.

This time, the flower-viewing banquet is set up in the backyard of Fengyi Palace, and the banquet is full of fresh melons and fruits, candied fruits, small snacks, etc., but it is placed in response to the occasion.

However, dozens of self-made flower teas made by Yucui Palace are particularly novel, such as Tutu water fragrance, new lotus jade dew, peony spring, Muxi dew, citron soup, etc., which make people dazzled with all kinds of patterns, or fresh, or rich, or moist and sweet, all of which make the young palace concubines feel fresh and interesting, and are amazed.

Seeing that the opening time was approaching, the concubines of each palace had already taken their seats in order, and the flowers on the table were full of flowers, and the warblers were singing and swallowing, but only Concubine Xi was missing.

Jun Yuchuan glanced at the empty seat on the left, his face was slightly displeased, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of many concubines, frowning and ordering: "Send someone to urge, do you want everyone to wait for her?" ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he knew that Concubine Xi was losing her temper again, so he hurriedly led people to Enxi Palace to invite him, but the news he brought back said that Concubine Xi occasionally felt unwell and was inconvenient to come when she was sick.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Xi's sister is unwell, the emperor will go to see her another day, come, moisten your throat first." Queen Zhang said that she personally brought a snow water fragrant plum dew, and a few hosta petals floated on the light honey-colored soup to take its fresh aroma.

"Since Concubine Xi's sister is unhappy, we don't have to wait, and we will let someone send some food to the table later, and she will know the emperor's intentions."

Jun Yuxuan listened to her gentle and tactful, but laughed and said, "What you said is so kind, can I refute it?" It's rare that everyone has come, and today should be even more lively and enjoyable. ”

The queen smiled silently, raised her hand to signal the start of the banquet, and suddenly the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.

After the opening show of the song and dance workshop, it was the turn of the new concubines to show their talents, the first one was the Yunyi floating wave dance accompanied by Ge Guiren's performance of Xiao.

Ge Guiren is dressed very gorgeously today, deliberately combed a peach heart bun, a double-headed and pedicel Danzhu winged long hairpin, a few beads and emeralds, and the eyebrows have a pretty forehead yellow, lining the sweet smile on her face like a spring flower.

Jiang Jieyu also changed into a slender light silk dance shirt, a long skirt with golden light and shimmering weaving birds, and the skirt was decorated with fine broken spars, and slowly stepped onto the stage, and suddenly rubbed a string of "squatting" sounds on the brocade carpet.

Ge Guiren tilted his head slightly, his lips opened slightly, and the soft and long sound came out from the jade flute, gradually spreading along the breeze, lingering and encircling everyone in it. Jiang Jieyu's dancing posture is quite similar to the previous Dieji, walking in a graceful and soft way, she lowered her waist and spread her hands to rotate rapidly, the faster she danced, the longer the slender skirt also rotated and flew all over the sky.

Jiang Jieyu's appearance is delicate and elegant, and she does not have the enchanting and charming temperament of the dancing girl in the palace, but because of the dancing flow, she has an extra elegant posture, which is as beautiful as flowing water.

After reading it, Jun Yuyu couldn't help but take the lead and stroked his palm, and said with a smile: "The two complement each other, and the dance music is wonderful." ”

Ge Guiren handed over the jade flute to the palace people, pulled Jiang Jieyu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jiang Jieyu has been practicing hard for today's dance for half a month, and the concubines are also ashamed of themselves. ”

After Jiang Jieyu finished humbling herself, she said: "The emperor is happy today, so the concubine has a reluctant request, Jiang Jieyu has worked hard for a long time, and she deserves to be rewarded twice, so let's put the concubine's share in the past." ”

Jun Yuchuan smiled and said, "That's good, I'm right." ”

The concubines followed the praise, and the atmosphere in the banquet gradually became lively, and then Yao Cairen congratulated the banquet with calligraphy on the spot.

The two little palace maids each came up with a pair of red silk, stood on both sides, and there was a little eunuch kneeling in front of him holding a pen and ink, Yao Cairen stepped forward and picked up a jade pipe wolf hair with one hand, could it be that he planned to do both?

The concubines couldn't help but smack their tongues in shock, and the emperor, who had an indifferent expression, also came to the spirit, only to see Yao Cairen staining the two wolves with thick ink, and the two pens quickly and hurriedly wrote in one go, and finally closed the pen neatly before smiling slightly.

The little eunuch hurriedly held it in front of the emperor, the words on the two red silk were different, the left book "Plaice Love", the right book "Qin Se and Ming", Yao Cairen stepped forward and said: "The concubine has no strength, only to offer it in this doublet, may the emperor and the queen raise the case with eyebrows, love is long, and the blessing is broad and Ze is the concubine and others." ”

"Good, good." Jun Yuxuan looked extremely happy, looked back at Queen Zhang with a smile, and instructed Liu Chandao: "It's hard for Yao Cairen to be so careful, send these two red silk to the Ware Museum, paste them and then send them to the queen's palace, well----, hang them in the queen's small study where she usually writes, be careful not to damage them." ”

Liu Chan hurriedly went down in person like a treasure, and the emperor ordered Yao Cairen to be rewarded heavily, which was very commendable.

In this way, it is inevitable to strip away a lot of the scenery of the pioneer Jiang Jieyu.

Queen Zhang stared around at the beauties, with all kinds of expressions in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Thank you Yao Cairen for your kindness, this palace deeply remembers the sisters' care on weekdays, and thank you one by one another day." ”

Ge Guiren was also silent, and when he looked sideways, he saw that Shen Guifei was a little distracted, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice: "Sister Guifei, your tea is about to spill." ”

Shen Guifei looked down when she heard the sound, and the flower tea in her hand was almost spilled out obliquely, and her face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, Jiang Jieyu next to her had already helped her hold on, so she smiled and hurriedly sat up straight without mentioning it.

Concubine Xi sat beside the queen, got up and picked up a few preserved fruits and walked over, and whispered in her ear: "Queen Mother, look at their appearance, in the days to come, our palace will be lively." ”

Jun Yuqi smiled sideways and asked, "Concubine Xi, what are you muttering about?" ”

"It's nothing ----" Concubine Xi didn't expect the emperor to hear her words, so she quickly pulled her shirt lightly, went back to her seat and sat down, turned around and smiled at the emperor: "The concubines saw that Jiang Jieyu and they had been rewarded, and they also wanted to ask the emperor for something." ”

When Queen Zhang heard this, she took off the red musk lettering bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Concubine Xi, "Are you embarrassed to say this month's words in front of the newcomer?" Really, you're older than them now, don't be childlike before, put this on, and stop being naughty. ”

Concubine Xi smiled and said, "Yes, the concubine Xie is the reward of the queen's mother." ”

Jun Yuxuan looked tasteless, just shook his head, and it happened that there were Yang sisters at the bottom with a plate of small purses, colorful, chic, and very fine needlework, one of them said: "The concubine sisters are dull, and they can't do other tricks, so they embroider a plate of flower seed fragrant purses, and each person embroiders one side, and chats to count as a little heart." ”

The purses in the middle are of different sizes, and the patterns are also different, the two most gorgeous in the middle are naturally dedicated to the emperor and the queen, and the two next to them are dedicated to Concubine Xi and Shen Guifei, and the remaining purses are slightly reduced according to the grade of the palace concubine.
