Chapter 405: The Banquet Begins
Queen Zhou and Concubine Huo in the middle palace came together, the work of the front and rear feet, Concubine Shu and Liu Xiuyi also came with the palace people, everyone didn't have time to take a closer look, and they were busy leaning over to salute, and the five of them laughed in front of the people, and let each other a few times, then Queen Zhou took the lead, according to the order of Gui and Shu, and finally Liu Xiuyi sat down.
After sitting down, Queen Zhou said with a smile: "Get up quickly, don't be polite." ”
At this time, everyone has been kneeling on the ground for a long time, many people because they are not on the table, so they have to kneel on the wet and cold ground, fortunately, Queen Zhou has spread a felt blanket nearby, so as not to stain the skirt, the original scattered field after this kneeling, suddenly solemn.
Su Ruhui and the other four exchanged glances, this is a dismount from the queen and others to the show girl?
"Let's all go back to the table." Concubine Shu followed the queen and commanded with a smile. After her words, the show girls who had just left the table dared to move, including Song Caisu and his party, who had not yet had time to enter the table.
Queen Zhou glanced at it and said with a slight surprise: "Why is there a vacant position?" ”
"I think it's because I missed the time and came out late?" Huo Guifei smiled softly and said to the person behind her, "Go and ask someone to put a few more lights in the direction of Guihua Palace, so that people who have not yet arrived will panic and have to take a fork in the road." ”
"It's the palace that is negligent." When Queen Zhou heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she quickly unfolded and smiled indifferently.
Liu Xiuyi got up and said: "The concubine has a body, and it is inconvenient to go away, so let's go as a concubine." ”
"It's okay, there is nothing to do with her when this palace sits here, where can you ask the nine concubines to personally handle such a trivial matter?" Huo Guifei waved her hand, and was about to continue, but she heard Concubine Shu sigh: "Don't blame the show girls, Concubine De hasn't arrived yet!" ”
"Princess Rongshou was worried about her concubine, and she didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, Concubine De was so anxious that she couldn't help it, so she sent someone to the palace to tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves her daughter, and today she deliberately took the time to go to Zhaohua Palace to accompany the princess for dinner, and Concubine De is afraid that she will not be able to get out." Queen Zhou said calmly.
Concubine Shen sighed, and Concubine Huo suddenly said: "Actually, Concubine Shu doesn't have to worry, Sister Queen has always been generous, and it's not a big deal for the show girls to be a little late, besides, in your face, Sister Queen doesn't care." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard her words, and then they immediately understood when they followed her gaze - Shen Zipei!
"Zipei hasn't come yet?" Concubine Shen Shufei also showed surprise, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, "This palace has just sent someone to remind her not to miss the hour, why is this child ......?"
When Queen Zhou heard this, she frowned and said, "Have you asked someone to remind you?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”
"Sister Queen, don't worry, Nianxin has already gone all the way to urge people to add palace lights, I think it's late, and the Guihua Palace where they live is not familiar with the imperial garden, don't go the wrong way." Huo Guifei comforted softly, but Shen Zipei, the most outstanding among the show girls, has been late so far, and the show girls below who were originally holding their breath and concentrating also have their own guesses, and suddenly there was a slight discussion.
Zhang Wei quietly approached Su Ruhui: "It won't be your ......"
"What nonsense?" Su Ru glanced at her, "I have this ability, can you still come over with the thorn in your eye?" ”
Zhang Yan's face sank when he heard this: "It is said that King Liang and the crown prince will also come over later, should she ......?"
"She is already the most outstanding person in this batch of show girls, if she still uses such a method of self-depreciation, even the palace people will look down on her." Su Ruhui shook her head, "Although I haven't seen Shen Zipei much, I think she is not such a person!" ”
"This is not necessarily, everyone knows that those of us who have been raised in the palace since childhood are safe if they are not big, but no matter how top-notch she is, it is not without variables, and she will only suffer a temporary loss, I heard that this Miss Shen is not the kind of person who cannot bend or stretch." Zhang Wei reminded, "Don't you can't find her at all, but you will come with Your Highnesses later, what will you do?" ”
Su Ruhui sneered, but stopped talking.
Although Shen Zipei is top-notch and outstanding, and she is also the niece of Concubine Shu, but as Queen Zhou and Concubine Huo, she just mentioned a word, and began to look at the girls who had arrived.
Queen Zhou is wearing a dark crimson robe today, the color is almost dark green under the lamplight, combing a simple high bun, there is no decoration on her head, only a tired silk red gold inlaid with a large ruby phoenix hairpin, but her identity as the main palace is undoubtedly revealed. And Huo Guifei, who was behind the first seat on her left, was dressed in a begonia red palace dress, with a green silk loosely pulled into a bun, and two hostas inserted obliquely, the lower abdomen under the palace dress was already bulging, and the whole person looked extraordinarily soft.
And Shen Shufei, who was opposite Huo Guifei, was wearing a fragrant palace dress, with a double ring on her head, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, Shen Shufei's appearance can only be said to be delicate, far less than her niece, but this outfit of one of the four concubines makes her look very luxurious, if it weren't for Huo Guifei's national color and fragrance, the clothes of pregnant writers are also bright and beautiful, I am afraid that she will be pressed down.
Across the empty seat prepared for Concubine Lin Defei next to Huo Guifei is Liu Xiuyi, Liu Zhurong's appearance is pretty and cold, especially when she is sitting there with a precarious feeling, her outfit is as casual as Huo Guifei, blue palace dress, cloud bun, indifferent, as if everything is none of her business.
The four of them looked down at the show girls with different eyes, but they also cheered up the show girls to greet them. Empress Zhou raised her hand and pointed in one direction, and said with a smile: "This girl looks familiar, it seems that she came to Weiyang Palace a few days ago?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, that is the daughter of Shangshu Ling Song, the girl's name is Caisu, Changtai entered the palace with Miss Su and others in the twenty-fifth year, and raised under the queen's knees for several months, and then because his mother Xiuli Junjun was weak, he went back to the house to serve the sick." Without waiting for the others to talk to An Xia, he said smartly, his voice was neither high nor low, and the show girls below could only hear a few words drifting away, but Huo Guifei and the others nearby could hear it clearly, Shen Shufei's eyes sank, and she smiled: "No wonder there is an aura, it turns out that the queen's sister has personally taught it, and it looks different from other show girls nearby." ”
"Where, it's just that she stays by my side like her dependents to pass the time, but her mother is sick, and it is always difficult to prevent her biological daughter from fulfilling her filial piety, and as a result, Xiuli Junjun's health is not good, so it has been delayed until now." Empress Zhou smiled slightly.
Concubine Shen Shu's face softened a little, but she heard Huo Guifei smile lightly: "Didn't Sister Queen say that she only saw her a few days ago?" It seems that my sister has been thinking about this Song family in her heart, and she has quietly called her to Weiyang Palace, what do you want to hide from us? Who can stop the dignified queen from hurting a beautiful little girl? ”
Empress Zhou frowned.
