Peony Feast (2)
The painting fell into deep contemplation, and even the tranquil elegance began to be stunned.
Is it really as Shen Wan said, if you want to be alone in the harem, it is absolutely impossible?
Shen Wan saw that they were thinking about something, so she stood up and said: "I still have something to do there, so I won't stay much, you can take care of your body after painting, and let's go to Meixiayuan to watch the peony another day, the peony there is very beautiful." ”
Shen Wan returned to Shangyang Palace from Jingyi Palace, and Xichen saw her and said, "I just made a will to restore Pei Zhaoyi to Concubine Pei, what do you think?" ”
Shen Wan replied expressionlessly: "The emperor's will, the slave and maid dare not say it." Then a thought flashed in his mind, and he looked up uncertainly and asked, "Is the army of the expedition to the west going back to the court?" ”
Xichen laughed and said, "I know I can't hide it from you, that's good!" The western country voted for an armistice, and the army of the western army returned to Korea in a few days. You're about to meet General Shen. ”
"General Shen?" Shen Wan narrowed her eyes and asked.
"Well, Shen Lan is really heroic on the battlefield, General Pei has many praises in the recital, and when he returns to the court, I will make him the general of the second rank of the expedition to the west!"
Shen Wan pursed her lips and was silent, after her brother came back from an expedition, he was the general of the expedition to the west, and he was appreciated by General Pei, I don't know if the direction of the wind in the court will change suddenly? Shen Wan seemed to have noticed that Shen Xiang's henchmen were about to move.
Not long after the will went down, Concubine Pei personally went to Shangyang Palace to thank her.
She is wearing a violet wide-sleeved gauze dress today, and her clothes are fluttering, like walking in the clouds. He wears eight treasures on his head, and wears a five-tailed phoenix with emerald beads on his side, with exquisite makeup and a gorgeous gait. was already born with a very beautiful appearance, but because of the joy, it was even more outstanding.
When she knelt down to thank her, she was surrounded by a clanging sound, the sound of pearls and jade colliding. Only then did Shen Wan notice the beautiful jade on her waist, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Xichen motioned for her to get up, and said: "My father is of great use in our country, and you act hard in the harem, how can I not know that I made you wronged some time ago, and now you are restored to the position of concubine, you can give birth to the eldest son of the emperor." ”
Concubine Pei thanked: "The concubines thank the emperor for their kindness, and they will definitely not disappoint the emperor's hard work." ”
When she got up, she glanced at Shen Wan behind Xichen, and the smile on her lips, and the original smug mood, somehow there was a hint of displeasure. But thinking that after all, she is the only daughter of General Pei, and she is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, and now that she has also recovered her concubine position, she doesn't have to worry about a little imperial Shangyi. Therefore, I was relieved in my heart, and there was more arrogance in my eyes when I looked at Shen Wan.
"Your Majesty, the peony of Mei Xia Yuan is blooming, and the concubine is preparing to invite several sisters from the harem to enjoy the flowers together in a few days, I wonder if the emperor has time to go to the banquet?" Concubine Pei asked with a smile.
Xichen said: "I'm afraid I can't be idle, you can feast others yourself." By the way, Pang Guiren has been wronged, you remember to invite her, it can be regarded as comfort. ”
Concubine Pei's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, fleeting, but she still smiled: "What the emperor said is very true, even if the emperor doesn't say it, the concubines will arrange it like this." ”
Xichen nodded and said, "That's good, you go down, I still have something to do." ”
"Yes, the concubine retired."
On the day when Concubine Pei set up a banquet, after going down to the court, she looked for Shen Wan and didn't see her, so she asked Xiao Shizi, who smiled and said: "Lord Shangyi said that Concubine Pei set up a banquet, and she also went to have a good time." ”
Cherish the dust and think about it: Shen Wan is not the person who likes to join in the fun now, what must be the purpose, or is she afraid that Pang Guiren will be suppressed again? I knew it in my heart, so I took care of the things at hand and went to appreciate it.
At this time, in the Meixia Garden, more than ten palace beauties walked in the court, people admired the flowers, the flowers reflected the people, and the red makeup was still a flower for spring.
Peony is the king of flowers, and peony is the phase of flowers, followed by wealth.
The general peony blooms in April, but the peony in the Mei Xia Garden is still fragrant and splendid, and it is absolutely extraordinary.
Concubine Pei dressed up carefully before she came, and her words and smiles were bright, although she was old among the crowd, she had a mature charm in her gestures, which was beyond the reach of those little masters.
Concubine Qing also came in full costume, and when she saw her, she smiled extraordinarily brightly, and said: "Congratulations to my sister, now that I have been promoted to the concubine position, I heard that General Pei is about to return to the court, these two happy events really complement each other together!" The implication is nothing more than that she was promoted to the concubine because of her father.
Concubine Pei was unhappy on her face, but she smiled in her mouth: "Huh? Didn't the emperor let Concubine Qing's sister teach Xia Guiren in the palace? My sister thought you didn't have time to come, so she was negligent. ”
Concubine Qing was choked by her words, and was about to refute, but Xia Zhaoyi hurriedly pulled her and smiled: "Look at the few peonies over there, let's take a look." ”
Over there, Huazhi and Xue Ling also came, and unlike in the past, Xian Ya actually came along.
Seeing that Xianya was displeased, Xia Guiren stepped forward to stop the three of them, and sneered: "Is Sister Shangguan's illness cured?" How can you also have the leisure to attend the banquet of the harem concubines? Oh, I almost forgot, Sister Shangguan has been seriously ill and hasn't slept yet! It's not the emperor's woman! ”
The painting was about to refute, but he heard a person behind him say slowly: "Noble Xia's words are wrong, as long as it is a woman in this harem, whether it is a concubine or a palace maid, she is the emperor's woman." ”
