Chapter 32: Changed Appearance
The last Ju beauty got up and toasted, and then Yao Chuxi arrived.
Concubine Qing and He Jieyu undoubtedly did it on purpose.
This point of rain is clear, and Yao Chuxi is also clear.
"The concubine is pregnant, so it is really not appropriate to drink." Yao Chuxi stood up and said lightly, "But today is Concubine De's birthday, and it's not good to be disappointed because of the concubine." Here, the concubines wish the mother a long life and good health. ”
After speaking, Yao Chuxi drank the honey water in the cup.
Luoyu almost answered that sentence behind his seat, and his heart was in his throat.
Yao Chuxi sat back in his seat after toasting, turned his head and smiled at Luoyu.
I think that Concubine Nade won't hurt her, otherwise she wouldn't have drunk this cup of honey water anyway.
All the people in the temple drank wine, but she drank honey water. If something really happened, Concubine De would definitely not be able to escape, how could anyone be so stupid?
After everyone toasted, Concubine De didn't feel anything, just a smile on her face.
Those good words and sentences have been said back and forth for so many years, where can I listen to them? Where can it be taken seriously?
After Concubine De entered the palace, she began to pay attention to Yao Chuxi intentionally or unintentionally.
It's been two months since she was pregnant, and before it was time to show her pregnancy, this Yao Cairen was still as slender as when he saw it in the imperial garden that day, and he exuded youthful vitality in his gestures.
It's not that she hasn't been pregnant with a child, and she has been young, but Concubine De always feels that she was different from Yao Cairen when she was young, so what is the difference between it? She can't even say it herself.
Concubine De looked at the queen with her spare eyes. It turned out that not only her, but the queen was also secretly looking at Yao Chuxi.
Yao Chuxi noticed that someone was looking at her, symbolically sandwiched a piece of braised pork closest to her, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
This red meat is evenly fat, fragrant and tender, not greasy at all.
On the left side of the braised pork is a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, this dish Yao Chuxi doesn't like too much, Yuan Shaoyu has made it twice before and she hasn't eaten it much. I can't say what it doesn't taste like, but I just don't have a good feeling.
Dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, and then look to the left, is the night shrimp. Yao Chuxi likes this dish very much, but it's a pity that it is far away, in front of Ju Meiren.
Ju Meiren Xu noticed it, and deliberately pushed the Yehe shrimp in front of Yao Chuxi.
Yao Chuxi came today just for a passing scene, eating and drinking carefully, and it can't be said that she doesn't eat or drink, even if she acts like this, no one can say anything.
What disgusted her the most was He Jieyu's eyes.
He Jieyu's position was behind Concubine Qing's seat, and the two of them leaned forward and leaned back to talk, although it was not obvious, but they could still be seen if they looked closely.
He Jieyu turned her head and glared at Yao Chuxi from time to time as she spoke, her eyes were like knives, Yao Chuxi only looked at her twice and simply didn't look at her.
There are others who talk and eat and drink, but Yao Chuxi is the only one who doesn't dare to eat and drink, and no one speaks.
"Sister, how are you doing now? Is morning sickness bad? Ju Mito asked.
Yao Chuxi knew that Ju Meiren was also a nobody to talk to, so the two tacitly smiled at each other.
"Fortunately, I may vomit for a while before and after eating, but there is no big pattern."
"Now is the critical time, sister, you have to be careful."
"Sister Xie Ju cares."
He Jieyu turned her head to look at Yao Chuxi again, but people didn't look at her, but talked and laughed with Ju Meiren, and she was even more angry.
But today is Concubine De's birthday, and the queen is here again, no matter how angry she is, she can't attack at this moment.
Concubine Qing was obviously thinking about He Jieyu, although she still glanced at Yao Chuxi from time to time, she didn't say anything.
The birthday banquet dispersed after a while, Yao Chuxi deliberately stayed for a while, and when everyone was almost gone, he celebrated Concubine De's birthday alone.
Concubine Dek asked her the same thing as Ju Meiren.
Yao Chuxi also answered her truthfully as she answered Ju Meiren.
She knew what the reason was. If it weren't for her belly, how could Concubine De think of her on her birthday? How can it be pulled to the stomach in three sentences?
It can't be said that he has bad intentions, but Yao Chuxi still kept an eye on it and hurriedly left with the rain.
Ju Meiren waited for Yao Chuxi to come out in front of the gate of Ningshou Palace, the step chariot was ready, and after the person came out, he sat up directly, and the palace people who carried the chariot walked steadily.
"I have something I want to ask Sister Ju, I may be offended."
"Sister, but it doesn't hurt to say."
"I don't think Concubine De has much in common with that portrait, but what's the reason?" Yao Chuxi asked.
The rain is really sweating.
Why does the master ask everything?
"My sister doesn't know." Ju Meiren thought for a while, "I knew Concubine De Niangniang before entering the palace, at that time my father was a supplier merchant in Niangniang's house, and I followed every time I went, so I could recognize it when I went back and forth." ”
Yao Chuxi listened quietly on the chariot, occasionally turning his head to look at Ju Meiren.
And Ju Meiren was talking about the old things from a few years ago, and she didn't notice her at all.
"The two of us entered the palace together, but Concubine De's mother's family was capable, and she was crowned Jieyu as soon as she entered the palace, and she was promoted to the concubine position within two years."
Not only Yao Chuxi listened, but Luo Yu also paid attention to this matter.
"At that time, she was similar to the portrait, and her appearance was feared by everyone in the harem, and later I didn't know who took advantage of Concubine De's pregnancy to poison her, not to mention that Longzi had a miscarriage and changed her appearance."
"Changed your appearance?" Yao Chuxi asked in surprise.
"Hmm." Ju Meiren responded, thought about it for a while and continued, "Actually, it hasn't changed much, and then I had a miscarriage, and I drank Chinese medicine for a long time to recuperate, and my body was swollen from drinking, and some places were hollow in, and it didn't look like before." I went to see her back then, and she looked much worse than she does now. ”
This explains why the current Concubine De is not like the portrait.
Bu Yuan walked and walked into the back garden.
The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, shining warmly on his body, Yao Chuxi squinted his eyes slightly and was lazy, and the whole person seemed to be paralyzed on the step.
Luoyu thought that the master was uncomfortable, and asked softly, Yao Chuxi said that he was just basking in the sun, and Luoyu relieved his heart.
When Yao Chuxi opened his eyes again, Bu Yuan was passing by the door of Sanssouci Pavilion.
"Stop." Yao Chuxi said anxiously.
Several eunuchs immediately stopped and waited for Yao Chuxi to come down.
Ju Meiren and Yao Chuxi returned to Guishuang Pavilion after saying goodbye.
"Little master, what are you doing here?"
"Go see Xiao Meiren." Yao Chuxi said as he walked towards the door of Sanssouci Pavilion.
Meng Cairen was the first to see her and greeted her.
Yao Chuxi also replied politely.
Xiao Meiren then came out of the hall and greeted Yao Chuxi with a smile on her face.
"Sister Xiao is polite, I just happened to pass by and wanted to come and see you."
"My sister can think of me, it's precious."
I don't know if it's Xiao Meiren, she deliberately picked up the nice ones and said it, or if she really thought so.
Yao Chuxi could feel that she had obviously changed, and she had changed differently from before.
"My sister is here to Ning Shou Palace?"
Yao Chuxi nodded.
"Concubine De Niangniang celebrates her birthday today, can you see her?"
"I saw it, Concubine De Niangniang's face is kind, her appearance is very thoughtful, no matter how you look at it, she is a beauty."
Xiao Meiren paused, deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Concubine De, she didn't look like this before. ”
Xiao Meiren also got a post from Ning Shou Palace when she was still Xiao Zhaorong, and she also gave a lot of valuable things when she went to celebrate her birthday.
According to her words, Concubine De's appearance is incomprehensible, but it is different from Yao Chuxi's appearance, she can't help but look at it, in fact, it's just like that after watching it for a long time, it's not like Yao Chuxi, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
Of course, Xiao Meiren was careful when she said this, and deliberately picked out the euphemism, although the meaning was that meaning, it couldn't be faulted.
Yao Chuxi only sat for a short while, and walked back to Yunyan Pavilion with the help of falling rain.
As soon as she arrived at Yunyan Pavilion, she had morning sickness, and Han Shanggong specially invited the imperial doctor in order to be safe, and finally made sure that the master was okay before relieving his heart.
"What did the little lord drink in the Ningshou Palace?"
"Well, honey water to drink."
Han Shanggong smiled after hearing this.
"What's wrong, Han Shanggong? But what's wrong? ”
"The slave and maid know that Concubine De can't do anything harmful, so she dares to let the little master go to Ningshou Palace, otherwise if you change someone else, the slave and maid don't dare to guarantee it."
"I look at Concubine De Niangniang and she is also very kind-looking, not like a person who does bad things."
But how many people in the palace can determine whether they are good or bad by their looks?
Just like the queen, Yao Chuxi paid attention to her for a while today.
At first glance, she is the image of the Lord of the Six Houses. Graceful and generous, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and after she came, the whole hall seemed to have lost its luster.
I can't say where it's beautiful, but no matter how you look at it, I think she deserves the best.
But she's done bad things too! Although Yao Chuxi didn't know much, at least she knew that she was not easy to mess with.
Even if you don't take the initiative to provoke you, people will come to you.
In the afternoon, the emperor came up and asked about the situation in Ningshou Palace, and had dinner by the way.
Yao Chuxi didn't dare to eat a few bites at the birthday banquet, he was already hungry at this time, and the dim sum he used when he came back was like entering a bottomless pit.
Yuan Shaoyu seemed to know her thoughts, and served two small buns for dinner.
When the cage drawer was opened, it was still steaming hot, and it was fragrant.
Yao Chuxi tasted one, which was filled with shrimp.
The emperor also ate one, which was filled with fresh meat.
"The concubine remembers that when I was a child, the steamed buns made by the house next door were particularly delicious, and they tasted delicious once and thought about the next time, at that time, I always went to her house to eat when I played with Jingxue, and later my father said that women should have face, and if they went to play, they would never eat her buns."
The sudden mention of a sentence made the emperor not know how to answer, so he could only continue to listen to her.
"Her mother's bun is also filled with shrimp, and it seems to be able to flow juice when you bite into it, which is a bit similar to what Mr. Yuan made this time."
"You try this again." The emperor picked up the buns from another cage drawer and placed them on her plate.
"It seems to be vegetarian stuffing, and the concubine has eaten shiitake mushrooms." Yao Chuxi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
