Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Qiaoqing
After avoiding the scorching sunlight at noon, after a nap in the afternoon, Yongyan ordered people to set up a banquet in Penglai Yaotai, inviting everyone to watch the hibiscus in the water in the garden.
Penglai Yaotai is a place to build a summer retreat in the lake, the whole house is a "swastika" in the water, the water surface is open, and the scenery is beautiful. I sat at the table with bright yellow curtains and looked at Yongyan in the upper seat, and I always felt that Yongyan's smile today was like a broken desolation, and it was no wonder that no one in this harem treated him sincerely.
Yongyan looked at the crowd in a circle, and Lu Calyx got up with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine respects the emperor with a glass." ”
Yongyan glanced at the green calyx unhappily, snorted muffledly, and did not drink the cup, and the green calyx sat down in embarrassment. Yongyan looked at everyone coldly, and slowly spoke: "I know in my heart that when there will never be a calm in this harem, I am calculating my own people again and again, and there is a miasma!" ”
When he said the words "black smoke miasma", Yongyan slapped his hand on the table angrily, and the green calyx trembled unconsciously, Yongyan glanced at me gently, and said coldly to everyone: "I say a word here, whoever dares to beat Jin and promise the attention of the child in the womb, I will never spare it." ”
Concubine Ru smiled heartily, got up and said elegantly: "The emperor's words are serious, the concubines and others don't dare even if they have a hundred guts, besides, the concubine and Jin promised a deep sisterhood, and her child is the child of the concubine, who dares to beat Jin's idea, the concubine is the first to spare her." ”
I laughed softly, the corners of my mouth showed sarcasm, Yongyan raised his glass and drank it all, lightly: "I understand that you don't have such thoughts, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't." Clever nobleman, isn't it? ”
The green calyx was slightly stunned for a moment, and got up in a panic: "The concubine doesn't dare, the emperor laughed." ”
I got up and raised my glass and walked to the green calyx, and said gently: "Qiao Guiren, I know that you and I have some misunderstandings in the past, but please believe me, one day I will clear my injustice." This cup is my salute to you. Green Calyx reluctantly picked up the wine glass, touched it gently, took a sip and sat down slowly, Yongyan looked at me with satisfaction.
Concubine Ru's charming eyes glanced at me, and whispered: "Sister Jin is now five months pregnant, I heard that it has always been Dr. Liang's consultation, I heard before that it was Dr. Lu's consultation, never pretending to others, although I recently took leave, but the Liang Taiyi and Dr. Lu are also friends, it seems that Sister Jin and Mrs. Lu have a lot of friendship." ”
I smiled lightly and replied: "How can Niangniang even keep such a trivial matter in mind, Niangniang probably doesn't know that Imperial Doctor Lu is my sister and my brother-in-law, and relatives will naturally take care of each other." The mother is really worried. ”
Rufei let out a faint "oh", her scarlet lips looked disgusting, and I didn't want to look at her. Concubine Ru got up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you call someone to come up and dance to cheer up." ”
Yongyan nodded, and a few light women came up with a light palm, and the wide sleeves were lightly thrown into a round bud, and the music sounded, and the Qing nobles jumped out of the wide sleeves lightly with a tactful smile, beautiful dancing, and a smile was charming.
Lan Guiren touched my arm lightly, and said disdainfully, "Who should I be, it turned out to be her." Lan Guiren snorted coldly, and my eyes motioned for her to be silent.
The Qing nobleman has wide sleeves and flicks lightly, a lotus-colored light yarn, and the head is decorated with pink beads, the whole person is like a slim lotus flower, and the palace maid who dances next to him immediately loses her color, accompanying the delicate Qing nobleman. Yongyan looked at the Qing nobles with a smile, and the Qing nobles jumped more and more confidently.
After the dance, the Qing nobles stepped barefoot on the red carpet and walked in front of Yongyan, and dedicated a delicate lotus flower to Yongyan. You are like this lotus now, which I love very much. ”
Qing Guiren nodded shyly, and the green calyx muttered disdainfully: "What kind of fox ...... thing?"
Qing Guiren glanced at me and smiled: "The concubine doesn't dare to make a mistake, I heard that Jin promised to be the best woman in the palace to dance, I think it was a dance that moved the emperor, the concubine's little carving insect skill is nothing, you have the right to be entertainment." ”
Concubine Ru took the slender hand of the Qing noble, and sighed in admiration: "The concubine likes the Qing nobleman in her heart, she is smart and kind, who doesn't like such a gentle Jiangnan woman." ”
I smiled at Lan Guiren, knowing in my heart that she hated Rufei as much as I meant. The green calyx looked at Qing Guiren unhappily, and snorted softly on the side of his mouth. The lotus-picking boat rowed across the river, and everyone got up and gathered around the white marble railing to watch.
The green calyx got up and squeezed through the crowd angrily, Lan Guiren pulled me over to avoid the reckless green calyx, the green calyx stretched out his hand alone and wanted to pick a lotus flower, suddenly a stumbling fell into the water, the green calyx struggled desperately in the water, but no one on the Yao platform was familiar with the water nature and could only look at it, I almost lost my mind and shouted: "Come quickly, it's important to save people!" "Qing Guiren was the first to scream when he stood behind the green calyx, and in the panic, the crescent moon stopped me behind me for fear of being bumped into.
I calmly looked at the screaming Qing Guiren, because I clearly saw her pair of skillful hands gently push the green calyx, this action is too familiar to me, but I suddenly thought of the green calyx's birthday that day was she pushed me.
I thought blankly, the green calyx had been rescued by the boat on the lake, and Yongyan said helplessly: "How can you fall into the water, quickly pass on the imperial doctor, and send the Qiao nobleman back to the residence." ”
The green calyx's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth began to overflow the lake, although it was summer now, the lake was still cold, and if she fell into it, she would definitely fall into a disease, I stared at the Qing noble, she looked at the green calyx, and the corner of her mouth showed a sneer, and then changed her face and said to Yongyan: "The concubine is really damned, she didn't stop the Qiao noble." ”
Yongyan waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, I suddenly remembered that you have been a noble person for some time, and I decided to promote you to the position of Qing Concubine." ”
Qing Guiren knelt down happily to thank him, I stepped forward and said with a smile: "The emperor is too partial, wouldn't the Lan Guiren have been doing it longer than the Qing Guiren." ”
Yongyan thought for a while, and said open-mindedly: "Okay, I forgot that Lan Guiren should be promoted, then Lan Guiren will be named Lan Concubine." ”
I blessed my body and smiled and congratulated Lan Guiren: "Congratulations to Lan Guiren," Lan Guiren happily held my hand, and I said silently in my heart: Wan Dieyi's ability is really great, and she will definitely be able to compete with Concubine Ru in the future, how can she take advantage of it.
