Chapter 113: Let's compete for favor together
The Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet is still two months away, because the heirs of two great powers will come this year, so it is inevitable that it will be brilliant. Although the Ministry of Rites is responsible for all the reception matters, the series of arrangements at the palace banquet are all for Yi Xiangxiang, the queen, to see.
Originally, Yi Xiangxiang's illness was rumored to be confusing, and the Empress Dowager Xiao'an must be unhappy in her heart. But at this time, when the palace banquet was being prepared, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an hoped that Yi Xiangxiang was really sick.
So when Zhao Ziqian came to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace, she said to him: "Since the queen is unwell, let Lin Guifei and Ling'er arrange this palace banquet!" ”
She didn't directly say that she asked Kang Ling to preside, but pulled out Lin Guifei, on the surface, she didn't want to appear favoritism, but everyone was still in the title, so they heard bias.
Lin Guifei, Ling'er, relatives and sparse immediately.
Zhao Ziqian replied expressionlessly: "The queen is the mother of a country, and according to the rules, the palace banquet needs to be handled by her." The concubine can rest assured that the sons have already asked all the ministers to cooperate, and they will not be tired of the queen. ”
What's what? Who is afraid of tired queens, really! The Empress Dowager Xiao'an is angry.
The concubines were also full of black lines, and they didn't know if the saint really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
However, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an couldn't hear this, so she could only follow Zhao Ziqian's words and say: "It's good that she won't be tired, I'm afraid that she is young and weak, and she can't turn around and suppress the person who is lower." ”
This is an allusion to Yi Xiangxiang's young age and overwhelmed responsibility.
"It's okay, if the people below don't listen to the order, they will be killed." Zhao Ziqian spoke very coldly, which frightened the surrounding palace people into silence, for fear that they would be killed by this jade-faced Shura if they were not careful.
Yes, no one dares to embarrass the queen's arrangements for the palace banquet now! After all, who would dare to joke with their own little life!
The Empress Dowager Xiao'an had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting her own feet.
"Look at you, you can't fight and kill at every turn! The anger is so heavy, and the queen is sick again, be careful not to scare her! ”
Unable to grab the right to arrange the palace banquet, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an began to bitterly hint at her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhao Ziqian didn't run to Changchun Palace every day, and almost said that she wanted the rain and dew to be wet.
Zhao Ziqian continued to be expressionless: "Don't worry, concubine, the ministers in front of the queen will pay attention." Now that the queen is sick, the sons should take more care! ”
So the Empress Dowager Xiao'an was blocked again, and she was not good at teaching her son directly in front of the concubines, so she explained a few more words and let her son leave Ci'an Palace.
As soon as Zhao Ziqian left, the atmosphere in Ci'an Palace instantly relaxed. For the concubines in the palace, although they really wanted to see the saint, they were afraid that the other party would kill them if they changed their faces.
It's really love and hate!
The emperor and queen "Qin Se and Ming", naturally some people are jealous and some people are envious. In addition, Zhao Ziqian said again, "The queen is sick, and the sons should take more care of ......", so the concubines in the harem became more "sick"!
The vast majority of the concubines in the harem have begun to embark on the road of "self-harm"! Many people are afraid that the doctor will find out that they are not sick, so they do not hesitate to really freeze themselves with a headache and brain fever.
What's even more exaggerated is that there was a poppy beauty in the past, who deliberately fell into the ice lake by going to the imperial garden for a walk, and it was really almost not fished up!
The lake in the Imperial Garden is particularly large, and the ice has been thick this season, and it looks like the Songhua River in winter from a distance. However, in order to catch fish in the lake, there are a lot of holes in the lake, but they are also far from the shore, and it is impossible to fall under normal circumstances!
And the point is that kind of open area, that is, if someone wants to assassinate, they don't dare to do it easily, for fear of being seen!
It's because of this poppy, it must have been made by himself!
Yi Xiangxiang sat in the circle chair in front of the red sandalwood bookcase in Changchun Palace, and complained helplessly: "There is something wrong with everyone!" This is really sick and dead, how can it attract the favor of the emperor? The emperor will only worry about being sick or weakened, so stay away! ”
How could Zhao Ziqian really visit those sick concubines, if they had been favored before, they might have taken a look, and those who had not been happy said that they were sick, and they felt that it was impossible to attract the emperor's pity.
What a stupid death! This is Yi Xiangxiang's summary.
Yi Ruofu laughed when she heard Yi Xiangxiang's words, she handed in the post on the pretext of visiting the patient, because she appeared in Changchun Palace at this time and heard such a funny thing.
"I was afraid that you would be bored in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be so fun! Oh, I'm laughing to death! Yi Ruofu really laughed and burst into tears.
Sheng Changhong's backyard is currently the only one in her because she has never seen a woman so desperate for favor. Really, even when I was in the second room of my mother's house before, I didn't see any aunt who almost ruined herself!
"It's not boring, it's boring! A bunch of things every day! Yi Xiangxiang glanced at Yi Ruofu.
Yi Ruofu was disdainful when she heard this: "You have it!" Do you think I don't know that the Holy One has hired four grandmothers for you to help you take care of palace affairs? Pretend to be a busy man! ”
"Oh yes! You know this! Yi Xiangxiang was very surprised.
She kept this matter a secret, for fear that some people would think that it was the power of the grandmother, so that the queen's orders would become less authoritative.
"When my son went home to see the third sister-in-law a few days ago, she was worried that you would have no relatives in the palace, and the third brother told us in order to comfort her. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret, I didn't even tell Sheng Changhong! Yi Ruofu said and began to explore the things in Yi Xiangxiang's Changchun Palace.
The third brother and sister-in-law that Yi Ruofu said are naturally Yi Luochuan and Jiang Jingshan.
Yi Xiangxiang felt a little lonely when she thought of her relatives who she hadn't seen for a long time, but she immediately thought of happy things again, so she asked, "Is the third sister-in-law in good health?" Is the joy serious? ”
Before, the Yi family handed in the news, saying that Jiang Jingshan was pregnant, and it was estimated that Yi Xiangxiang had it when she entered the palace, which diluted their worries at that time.
And because the wedding with Yi Xiangxiang was a double happiness, Zhao Ziqian also deliberately said that he would personally name the child of the Yi family when he was born, which made the families in Kyoto City even more envious of the Yi family's favor.
Of course, although Yi Xiangxiang knew that Zhao Ziqian was deliberately giving the Yi family face, she still complained to him, "Why do you want to give the name of someone else's child, you have the ability to give birth to one!" ”
Zhao Ziqian couldn't deny this at that time.
Yi Ruofu was dangling in Changchun Palace, looking at the symbols of the palace system on many utensils, which meant that she couldn't take the sheep by the hand, so she said with some interest:
"It's okay, it looks quite energetic. The doctor you invited is very effective, what kind of food supplement did he use, and raised the third sister-in-law to be fat for nothing! ”
The doctor invited by Yi Xiangxiang that she said was the evil spirits of Huanxi Pavilion. Because her sister-in-law was the first child, and she heard that the joy was serious, Yi Xiangxiang deliberately asked the evil spirits to help the fetus.
"That's good, you can help me bring some supplements out to my third sister-in-law." Yi Xiangxiang felt that it was still good to have things in the palace, so she had to stuff some into her home, but she pondered for a while and said, "The things you bring out will be checked by evil spirits before they are used." ”
Yi Ruofu felt that something was wrong when she heard this, so she came over and muttered, "What?" Something wrong? Someone is trying to assassinate you? ”
She had anxiety on her face, she was really worried about Yi Xiangxiang's safety.
"Where do you want to go, I just think you should be cautious, just in case!" Yi Xiangxiang really just thinks it's more reassuring to be careful.
"That's good, you yourself are in this palace, you have to pay more attention to yourself!" Yi Ruofu is rarely serious.
Yi Xiangxiang felt quite warm and moved, but she really felt that she had the ability to protect herself, so she smiled and relieved: "Don't worry, who can mess with me, I won't mess with others!" ”
"That's just as well!" Yi Ruofu agrees with Yi Xiangxiang's self-blackening.
Yi Xiangxiang: ......
Although the two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, they haven't talked much, after all, they can't be too casual in the court.
When the sun was setting in the west, Yi Ruofu was very satisfied with a bunch of rewards and walked out of Changchun Palace, and before going out, she also indicated that she would often come to visit the queen's mother, which made everyone in Changchun Palace cry and laugh.
It's called "not a family, not a family"! The crowd laughed.
Everyone in the palace began to self-harm, and Yi Xiangxiang naturally had to announce that she was cured! She was also worried that if the palace concubines had a flu or something in a row, it would be really troublesome in ancient times.
The queen "recovered", so she naturally wanted to recover and ask for peace, but every time she went to Ci'an Palace, she tried her best to keep silent, and the Empress Dowager Xiao'an really couldn't catch her.
The main hall of Ci'an Palace.
"This queen is simply a loach, slippery and slippery!" After everyone retreated, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an left her niece Kang Ling and complained to her.
Kang Ling didn't expect this Yi Xiangxiang to be quite sleek before, but she still didn't take her seriously. In her opinion, all the good qualities of Yi Xiangxiang's forbearance are nothing more than the weakness of scolding and not returning the favor.
"Why should my aunt be as knowledgeable as her, although she is now sitting in the position of the middle palace, but I don't like her much when I look at my cousin. As long as Lin Zhimeng is not in charge, Ling'er believes that after a long time, her cousin will naturally be able to see Ling'er's goodness. Kang Ling appeased the Empress Dowager Xiao'an.
In the rules of the Rite Dynasty, even if it is in the harem, if it is not the concubine of the main palace, it is not possible to call the queen mother or the concubine with the saint. It was Kang Ling who called her aunt according to her original habit of calling the Empress Dowager Xiao'an.
The Empress Dowager Xiao'an also understood what her niece meant, compared to Yi Xiangxiang, Lin Zhimeng was her niece's fierce rival.
"The mourning family is just angry, the Qian'er picks and chooses, and the mourning family thinks they can pick out a piece of gold! Who knows...... I'm so angry! The Empress Dowager Xiao'an was still angry.
She didn't want to think about it, no matter how her son picked, she didn't like Kang Ling, it can be seen that in her son's mind, Kang Ling is not as good as Yi Xiangxiang!
Of course, the palace maid and eunuch who was present ...... I didn't dare to wake her up.
Kang Ling couldn't dwell on this topic more, so he could only continue to comfort: "Auntie, don't worry, let her sit on the queen's throne first." After all, if it were someone else, she might not be as easy to deal with! ”
The Empress Dowager Xiao'an could only calm down the anger in her heart when she heard this, and she suddenly turned her head and thought, although this Yi Xiangxiang is not loved by her, it is also considered filial piety, and good things are always sent to Ci'an Palace like flowing water. Although Cining Palace also has a copy, it really cares about them.
Well, the contradictory Empress Dowager Xiao'an thinks about it this way, and she also feels that there is no need to be difficult and fragrant now.
"Qian'er has also been to Jinghua Palace a few times since the beginning of winter, have you let the imperial doctor see it? Is there a message? The Empress Dowager Xiao'an herself changed the subject.
However, obviously, Kang Ling, the owner of Jinghua Palace, did not want to mention this topic, because she was stunned for a moment.
After being stunned, Kang Ling quickly gathered his expression, pretending to be shy and said, "No, the little day just came a few days ago." ”
When the Empress Dowager Xiao'an heard this, there was obvious disappointment on her face: "Then you have to pay more attention to your body and recuperate more!" ”
Kang Ling naturally saw her disappointment, but he didn't say anything. Every time her cousin stared at her afterwards and drank the avoidance soup, she also gave a gag order, she naturally didn't dare to tell her aunt, it had nothing to do with whether she was recuperating or not.
"Could it be that Qian'er is not good for you?" The Empress Dowager Xiao'an caught the loneliness on Kang Ling's face and spoke suspiciously.
At this time, Kang Ling really blushed, and could only say, "Okay...... Cousin is fine. ”
In Kang Ling's opinion, although his cousin is restrained in sexual affairs, he also has men's desires, but fortunately he is not rude to her. Although she doesn't feel her cousin's emotions every time, she will also be drowned in his desires.
She knew her cousin didn't love her, but she loved him dearly.
As long as her cousin is willing to go to her Jinghua Palace, she thinks he is very good.
It's just about the dodge-ko-yu, she doesn't know why her cousin did that. She originally guessed that her cousin wanted her eldest son to come out, but she took advantage of her aunt's momentum to secretly buy off a palace maid in Changchun Palace, only to know that her cousin did not have a round house with the queen, because when her cousin stayed in Changchun Palace, the queen's living room never asked for water at night.
So she couldn't guess her cousin's intentions, and she wasn't sure if he only let her cousin drink the soup.
However, this is also the reason why she is not in a hurry to deal with Queen Yi Xiangxiang, but is in a hurry to compete with Lin Zhimeng. She thought that if Yi Xiangxiang's position as queen was just a cover, then the person her cousin wanted to protect was Lin Zhimeng?
Kang Ling couldn't figure out Zhao Ziqian's intentions, and Zhao Ziqian didn't expect that he was a little secret.
......
Time is gradually entering the New Year, because the concubines below the title can not enter the palace banquet without permission, so the women who are not enough in the harem are more energetic than before to compete for the holy favor, intending to squeeze into the palace banquet to make a show.
These people are really doing their best!
There are those who play and sing on the holy path!
There are people who show their big white breasts and deliberately fall in front of the saint when they ask for peace!
There are even those who squat in Changchun Palace!
Among these people, the most fierce actors are naturally Hu Jieyu and Li Meiren, who "fight into corns".
The two became enemies because Li Meiren cut off Hu Jieyu's brand before, and now every time they meet, they either step on each other's feet or blatantly barrigate. If it weren't for Yi Xiangxiang pressing with the identity of the queen, it is estimated that bloodshed would be created every day.
Yi Xiangxiang originally thought that Hu Jieyu was a member of the Hu family in Tongzhou, and she wanted to help one or two. Later, Qing Xuan deliberately went to find out, only to know that this Hu was not the other Hu, and he turned a blind eye to their trouble.
In fact, in Yi Xiangxiang's opinion, if you don't find something to do, these harem women will definitely be depressed! So she is happy to watch them fight a little, mainly not to lose interest in life.
Of course, she also understands that sometimes the fights in the harem are not as simple as petty fights, but she can't control too much.
Eh, let's talk about it, leave it to fate!
Hu Jieyu and Li Meiren pinched each other, one relied on a higher position, and the other relied on the favor of the saint and did not back down. However, the two naturally not only pinched each other, but they also did not let go of the "temptation" of the saint, after all, the main thing in the harem is to win the favor of the emperor.
"I heard that yesterday Li Meiren danced in the imperial garden in a gauze dress, and attracted a lot of butterflies!" As a "tabloid reporter" in Miyagi, Yingdong brought the latest gossip very quickly.
Butterflies in the winter?
Although Yi Xiangxiang didn't read biology too seriously when she was in school, she also knew that after mating and laying eggs, ordinary butterfly adults died before winter came! And only some varieties will migrate to the south for the winter!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, the structure of life cells in this world is different, and the "butterflies" here can live until winter! But now that the snowflakes are fluttering, people don't want to go out, how can butterflies fly in flocks in the snowflakes?
Spread falsehood, right?
Or is it some illusion?
Yi Xiangxiang began to think about it, thinking that she was wearing a cultivator in the realm of immortal cultivation, but she hadn't found it before?
"Where do butterflies come from in the winter? Don't talk nonsense! Jimei shouted out what Yi Xiangxiang was thinking.
Yingdong stomped her feet, and she was very annoyed when she was not convinced: "Really, many people have seen it!" Mother, mother! You have to believe the slave maid, the slave maid heard that Li Meiren stepped on the snow barefoot, danced smartly, and danced beautifully! ”
She pulled Yi Xiangxiang and sought the approval of her master.
Now Yi Xiangxiang no longer pays attention to butterflies, and the word "barefoot" in Yingdong's mouth gave her goosebumps, and she gasped and said, "Such a cold day? Dancing barefoot in the snow? Crazy, right? ”
It's winter now, and you can build hundreds of snowmen in the snow in the Imperial Garden! Yi Xiangxiang felt that Li Meiren's brain was not very clear.
"What's crazy! People call it inspirational! Niangniang, you should learn from Li Meiren! "Jimei is not scared of the "butterfly" of Yingdong at this time, but hates the lesson of his own queen master.
Which lady in the palace is not riveting enough to go to the saint's side, but their mother is very Buddhist!
Xiao Dan was fiddling with the silver charcoal in the charcoal basin at this time, and scolded when he heard the words: "Jimei, don't be rude!" ”
She found that the entire Changchun Palace was about to be raised by her mother without rules, and it was not good to continue like this.
Not far away, Qingxuan was originally debugging the Juanyin Huanpei purple lacquer piano, which is a famous piano, because the back of the piano is above the dragon pond seal "Juanyin Huanpei" four words, so there is this name. This piano was originally stored in Yifu Yongleju, a few days ago Yi Xiangxiang asked Qingxuan to listen to the music, and it was the last time Yi Ruofu entered the palace, she was specially asked to bring it in.
After all, Qingxuan is a well-known "string lady" in the rivers and lakes, and her weapons are all strings, and her piano skills are not bad!
Oh well, let's get back to business.
Qing Xuan was originally adjusting the piano equipment, but after listening to Xiao Dan's words, he got up and walked over to her and said, "It's okay, as long as you are polite outside." Xiaodan, you don't have to be too restrained, Niangniang prefers you to relax. ”
"That's right, don't be too nervous!" Yi Xiangxiang also said to Xiao Dan.
She remembered that on the first day of entering the palace, she seemed to have thrown her face at Xiao Dan, and she had guessed that it might be this reason, which made Xiao Dan not very open in front of her. But later she also found out that Xiao Dan is a more well-behaved person, or it can also be said to be more stable.
Xiao Dan smiled.
Yi Xiangxiang couldn't take her, so she said to Jimei: "Jimei, let me tell you, even if I kill your queen mother, I will never go to dance in the snow!" ”
She shivered with cold just thinking about it!
Jimei already knew what kind of virtue she was as the queen's master, and she could only comfort herself when she heard the words: "If you don't jump, don't jump, anyway, jumping may not be useful!" ”
"How useless! Last night, the saint was resting in Li Meiren's Ling Han Garden! It is said that when I entered Zhongcui Palace, I didn't go to Concubine Ning's palace, and went straight to Ling Hanyuan! Yingdong said very excitedly.
Ling Hanyuan is in the Zhongcui Palace, and the owner of the Zhongcui Palace is Concubine Ning, Su Jingxiang.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't believe it when she heard this, Zhao Ziqian didn't look like a person who was in a hurry, these words must have been deliberately arranged by Li Meiren.
Besides, Zhao Ziqian spoiled a concubine, and even she, the queen, had no reason to stop her, so did she still have to report to Concubine Ning? It's normal not to see Su Jingxiang.
Hearing Yingdong's words, Ji Mei was very sad and looked at her queen master again, and then she could only comfort herself again and said:
"Hmph, it's just a trick! Have the ability to get a ten days and a half month of pet! ”
I didn't expect Jimei to become a prophecy.
Li Meiren really won the favor for ten days!
