Chapter 51: The Dinner Party Begins

The palace maid went into the closet and took a few clothes, put them on the bed and picked them out, and said with some distress: "Miss Long, Niangniang's clothes, I'm afraid you don't fit them!" ”

Long Chuxia looked at Concubine Shu's plump body, a little annoyed, "Concubine Niangniang, do you have any smaller clothes?" ”

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and snickered, "You are taller than this palace, why are you so thin?" Luckily, there's still some material on my chest. You're going to eat more from today! "After tonight, Concubine Shu won't say this to Long Chuxia again.

Long Chuxia finally picked out a long palace dress with lake green, embroidered with gold thread butterflies on the sleeves, silk and light, Long Chuxia, a tall and thin person, wore it, but it was a little fluttering. Long Chuxia touched his neck, there was no decoration on his neck at all, he wore a simple bun and a jasper hairpin stuck obliquely. She looked at Concubine Shu again, Concubine Shu was dressed extravagantly, with a pair of slender gold earrings set with diamonds hanging on the earrings, with the tassels of the hairpin swaying one by one, a string of dark green jade chains hanging on her white neck, a concubine bracelet of the same color on her left wrist, and a few small gold chains circled in her right hand, with a very different pattern, and then put on a string of dark green jade bracelets.

The jade belt is good, and it is very noble.

Concubine Shu took out a pair of jade earrings for Long Chuxia to bring, and then found a violet jade chain to hang around Long Chuxia's neck, so clean up a little, the whole person suddenly glowed, Concubine Shu looked a little stunned, "Early Summer, in fact, you are really beautiful!" ”

Long Chuxia looked at himself in the bronze mirror and smirked, it was really three colors and seven points of dress, so with a little jewelry, the whole person became extravagant. It's just that she looked at it, and she didn't feel like herself, forget it, tonight is a big occasion, it's always right to dress neatly, and maybe you can find one or two handsome guys in it to talk about love or something.

Concubine Shu's beauty is a little sexy beauty, in vulgar terms, she is a mistress, but her demeanor and actions are very elegant, I believe it is related to her family education since childhood. These official ladies, if they are not a little rude, they are still lovely.

"Concubine Shu, do you love the emperor very much?" Long Chuxia always had a sadness on her brows when she saw that she hadn't seen her happy.

Concubine Shu was stunned, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just asking, the women in the harem seem to love the emperor!" Long Chuxia said thoughtfully.

Concubine Shu smiled slightly, "No, in the harem, only Sister Ying and the queen mother really love the emperor, and the others are the glory and wealth that the emperor can bring them." Including Hua Guifei, in fact, once love is involved with the powerful, it will not be pure, but the emperor never believes in love, he doesn't ask the women in the harem to love him, what he wants is that everyone in the harem is very obedient and don't make trouble for him. ”

"Men are selfish!" In modern times, which of these women is not superior, they want to be literary and talented, those who have scheming, those who want martial arts, and those who want martial arts, it can be said that in modern times, they can stand alone, but now for the sake of an emperor, all of them are carrying their tails to be people, and they dare not do what they want to do, and even go back to their parents' home, they have to apply for three applications and four guarantees.

"That can't be said, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and if the affairs of the harem still bothers him, it will be too undeserved." Concubine Shu smiled softly.

"What about you? Don't you love the emperor? Long Chuxia heard her say that only Concubine Ying and the Empress really loved the emperor, a little strange, didn't she love the emperor?

"It's not that this palace doesn't love, but that you don't dare to love, and the women in this harem are more scheming than the other." Concubine Shu said this, a little hesitant, "Forget it, don't talk about it." ”

Yafan interjected next to him: "The emperor used to love Niangniang very much, but some people just saw that Niangniang was too favored, so they were ruthless to her behind her back, and almost killed Niangniang....."

"Ya, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Shu scolded angrily.

Yafan closed her mouth and didn't dare to say any more.

Long Chuxia is silent, in fact, it can be imagined, if the emperor favors a concubine, it will definitely attract the jealousy and rejection of many concubines in the harem.

In the end, she said: "Life will pass quickly, I really can't stand it!" ”

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly: "Now, this palace is also planning to do so. ”

Looking at the sky, Concubine Shu said again: "Okay, it's time to go." We first went to Shouning Palace to meet the Queen Mother, and then accompanied the Queen Mother to Yangming Palace. "Yangmingdian is the place where tonight's dinner will die.

"Good!" The dragon answered in early summer.

On the shoulder, he went all the way to Shouning Palace, Concubine Shu asked about Concubine Ying's condition, and Long Chuxia also told her one by one, Concubine Shu had palpitations, and said: "Fortunately, there is early summer you are here, otherwise, this palace will never see Sister Concubine Ying again." ”

Long Chuxia remembered that Concubine Ying's hair had been burned out, and she couldn't help but feel distressed, Concubine Ying was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and now she had no hair, which added a bit of pity and pitiful, making people not feel ugly at all, but in the end it was no longer as charming as before. "It's a pity that her hair is burned out. Fortunately, there is no damage to the scalp, otherwise there would be no hair growth in the future. ”

When I went to Shouning Palace, the Queen Mother was also ready to go, only to see that she was wearing a black embroidered gold peony dress, covered with an off-white transparent light yarn, which added a layer of elegance.

The queen and the concubine were all there, and several concubines were also standing behind the queen mother, each dressed up more beautiful than flowers.

The Queen Mother teased: "You girl, how can you wear the clothes of a concubine?" You see, they are all loose, like children stealing the clothes of adults! ”

Everyone laughed, because they knew that Long Chuxia was very favored now, although she was not the emperor's woman, but the queen mother valued people could not be treated lightly, so Long Chuxia inevitably listened to a few words of praise, she was not a person who did not know the times, she took it all according to the order, and also praised the concubines, everyone was hypocritical for at least a quarter of an hour.

The lights in the Yangming Hall were bright, and the eunuchs and palace maids lined up outside the palace, and when they saw the masters coming, they all took their seats.

Since it was a family banquet, the ministers were not invited, and the concubines and princesses of the harem also came. Long Chuxia saw Princess Qingping and King Qingping sitting in the main hall from a distance, surrounded by several richly dressed young people, Long Chuxia couldn't recognize any of them, but look at the clothes, they should be princes.

Before the emperor came, the Queen Mother sat on the table next to King Qingping, King Qingping and Qingping stepped forward to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother teased: "The mourning family said, how long will you delay?" ”

Princess Qingping pretended to be angry and said: "Queen Mother, your sons are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "You are in your twenties, and you are already the oldest princess in this dynasty who has never been married!" ”

Princess Qingping glanced at King Qingping and said with a smile: "If your son wants to marry, someone must marry her!" ”

"This is not like I said it to this palace, Qingping, this precious daughter of the mourning family is dissatisfied with you!"

King Qingping laughed, "The princess wants to marry, that man is from the capital all the way to the border, but it's a pity that the princess has a high heart, and she hasn't taken a fancy to any man yet, it's a pity!" ”

Princess Qingping's face was not good-looking on the spot, but she couldn't be angry, she only glared at King Qingping resentfully, and King Qingping couldn't see it.

Concubine Shu and Long Chuxia also sat down, and when they saw this situation, they were silent, so as not to be resented.
