242 New Pattern
Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Guan noble concubine Du Shi, Shu cautious Cheng, Duan Lai Roujia, Duan Fang Zhili, bow Duan Su, Jin to Guan Concubine, Qin this.
On the eighteenth day of the winter month, it is advisable to sacrifice, pray for blessings, crown flutes, ask for heirs, and travel.. It's the only good day of the year when everything is not taboo.
The palace came out early in the morning with good news, the Guan concubine before the Jin Feng was the Guan concubine Niangniang, the news has not been covered in the mouth of the people, the sky has sprinkled with light snow, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, the people are naturally extraordinarily happy, praying for a good harvest in the coming year, and they have sighed that the palace of the Guan Concubine Niangniang is an auspicious person.
In the afternoon, the emperor ordered people to hold a banquet for the concubines in Changle Palace, and invited in addition to the concubines of each palace, there were also some princes and princesses, and naturally Fang Xing was also among them, and everyone pretended to be joyful, as if they had forgotten the thrilling of the previous Qianqiu Festival.
"Concubine Guan, in the future, you need to remember to be diligent and diligent, extend the heirs, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible."
"Thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother."
Incense curled up, snacks and drinks were placed on the table, the queen smiled faintly and sat back as if she had completed her mission, no longer ready to say more, Concubine Guan smiled with the emperor and sat down.
The emperor is naturally in the main seat, and the queen's table is slightly oblique and placed on the right side of the emperor, and the left side is not the concubine, but the concubine Guan.
"Congratulations to Concubine Guan."
"Your Highnesses are gracious."
Concubine Guan got up again and picked up a cup of sake, raised her head slightly and took a sip, the complicated pearl jade on the hibiscus bun immediately made a crisp sound, and then looked at the royal children led by the prince with a smile, like today's treatment, although she was named a concubine, she was not qualified to accept it, to put it bluntly, it still depends on the emperor's face.
"Look at those concubines, one by one they are not happy..."
"People smile so brightly, which eye do you see that people are not happy."
Fang Xing's expression swept over the harem women opposite, and replied to Bai Yuxiu in a low voice, Bai Yuxiu didn't dare to agree, sat up straight and continued to eat snacks, his eyes couldn't help but look at Concubine Guan over there, intentionally or unintentionally.
Jujube red brocade dress, the wide sleeves are embroidered with gold thread with auspicious cloud patterns, covered with a pale yellow shoulder, full of pearls, with a five-tailed phoenix hairpin in the middle, the skin is like condensation, the air is like a quiet orchid, such a luxurious outfit, but it was worn by Concubine Guan with a trace of elegance and vulgarity.
"Congratulations to Sister Guan."
"Sister Xie Guifei."
The concubine's fingers holding the wine glass shook slightly, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes after drinking the wine, she was not jealous of Concubine Guan's favor, but she wanted to be commensurate with her sisters, and she was unhappy in her heart, just because the concubine had natural noble blood flowing in her bones, and naturally she would never look at a woman like Concubine Shangguan.
Don't look at those concubines who are not high-ranking and respectful, I am afraid that they are already jealous and about to go crazy, they were born in the family of the eunuchs, and none of them are concubines, and Concubine Guan, a prostitute, in their eyes, is not as decent as a slave, and can actually surpass them.
Especially because of Bai Yuqi's rebellion, so many people died before and after, but Concubine Guan was not affected at all, everyone knew that she was Bai Yuqi's person before, and the emperor didn't know...
It is not a trivial matter to become a concubine, look at Concubine De, it was also because the emperor married Bai Yan to Su Zhan, so her identity was raised, what about Concubine Guan, Concubine Guan didn't even have a princess... It's even more infuriating.
"Concubine Guan, concubine will give you another drink."
"Concubine Guan's alcohol is not good, don't drink it.."
Hearing this, Bai Yuxiu deliberately poked Fang Xing with his elbow, Fang Xing lowered his head and didn't look at everyone's expressions, the toasting concubine clenched the wine glass and sat back with a dry smile, the corners of her mouth cramped with laughter, which showed how jealous she was in her heart.
After the emperor finished speaking, he seemed to feel that the favor was not enough, and he gave Concubine Guan a plate of food on his own table with high force, which was really an undisguised lift, as if to warn everyone of Concubine Guan's weight in his heart, don't have bad thoughts one by one.
Concubine Guan glanced at Fang Xing just now, but before her eyes met, she withdrew her gaze, so that everyone couldn't think of the relationship between the two of them.
Excluding the relationship between Concubine Guan and Fang Xing, Bai Yuheng, and Bai Yuqi, just if she is a harem concubine, if Fang Xing is the emperor, she will also like a simple woman like her.
The emperor has always liked to listen to the piano, but Concubine Guan is a good kite, the emperor loves a gentle woman who speaks softly, and looking at the harem, there will be no such lovely person as Concubine Guan, a single point, that is, everyone can't compare, she has no mother's family, she has nothing to do with the previous dynasty, just serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and there is no chance to have any side thoughts.
Especially these days when the emperor is sick, Concubine Guan has been staying in front of the emperor's bed, even if the emperor is in a state of sleep for a long time, Concubine Guan will not leave for a moment, only this thought, how can the emperor not be moved!
Concubine Guan relies on not the power of her mother's family, not the support of her heirs, she completely lives by the emperor's grace, so she must be sincere to the emperor, which is what the emperor thinks.
"Guan Niangniang, your fruit seems to be delicious, can Hao'er eat it?"
"Naturally, please enjoy it to His Highness the Seventh."
Concubine Guan looked at Bai Yuhao lovingly, and held a plate of fruit he liked in front of his eyes, Bai Yuhao smirked and took one and stuffed it into his mouth, seeing that Concubine Wan didn't move, he took two more, Concubine Jing in the distance sighed secretly, she was really worried about his son from time to time.
"Hao'er, what have you learned with Fang Xing these days?"
"Huh? When he returned to his father, he learned a lot of the art of war. ”
As soon as he heard the emperor's question, Bai Yuhao hurriedly swallowed the things in his mouth, he really regretted running in front quietly, stiffened his neck and glanced at Fang Xing, who was staring at him, and made a swing in his heart, if this answer is not good, Fang Xing may not know how to punish him...
"The Art of War. Very good, what about leg and foot kung fu, didn't Master Fang Xing teach you? ”
"Back to my father, the teacher said that the son was anxious and too impetuous, and the matter of practicing martial arts would not be considered until the son had written the words."
A few slight laughter sounded between the concubines, and Concubine Jing also nodded at Fang Xing who couldn't laugh or cry, and Fang Xing dared to say this, but Bai Yuhao was embarrassed to say it, and the emperor nodded, and didn't say anything more about Bai Yuhao.
"Fang woke up empty, and also entered the palace to talk to Concubine Guan."
"Yes."
Fang Xing got up and replied, Concubine Guan was immediately flattered and stood up to return the salute, everyone was even more surprised at this time, the intuition used to underestimate the woman Concubine Guan, the emperor loved her so much, and even wanted to tie her to Bai Yuhao Fang Xing, in the future. I'm afraid it's not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"The emperor mentioned that the concubine remembered that the concubine's brother had written in the past two days saying that he wanted to send his sister-in-law to Beijing to study, I wonder if Fang Xing would like to bring more students?"
"King Yu might as well build a school in the future, and those who want to study will probably break through the threshold."
The queen said in a weird way, this is what the queen would say before, but Fang Xing was very grateful in his heart, the emperor loved to stop her from doing anything, and the concubine liked to see the stitches, and she didn't want to give up Fang Xing's side.
"Mother, my son-in-law has found the school.."
"Yes... That Fang woke up as if the palace had never mentioned it. ”
The prince waited for a while and saw that the emperor didn't react, so he knew that he didn't want to, if he deliberately approached Fang Xing like this, he would definitely make Fang Xing unhappy, and he didn't even have to do the previous friendship, but the gains outweighed the losses, Bai Yuqi's bloody lesson, the prince would not forget.
"What's wrong?"
"A new game begins."
Bai Yuxiu sighed when he heard Fang Xing sit down, and said with concern, Fang Xing smiled at him sideways, it was an extremely mysterious and treacherous smile, Bai Yuxiu couldn't help but feel creepy, and nodded and dragged the chair to the side.
The prince's virtue is certainly much stronger than Bai Yuqi's, but the concubine is not only the prince's help, but also the prince's shortcoming, she is too smart and too strong, which is not a good thing for the prince who will ascend to the throne.
The current emperor, including the former emperor, is trying his best to curb the cronyism situation in the court, vigorously promote the imperial examination, recruit useful talents, if the crown prince ascends the throne, the concubine's mother family will immediately spread all over the government and the opposition, and then the Su family is afraid that it will be the first force to be reduced.
But some things will not be carried out as everyone thinks is logical, such as the Juxian Building in Beijing, the relationship between the shopkeeper and Bai Yuqi, and it is well known, everyone thinks that after Bai Yuqi falls, the dust will be rolled up and the cover will be changed to another place, but the Juxian Building will not be affected at all, and the obedience of the prince and grandson Gongzi who came to the door to find trouble before.
Fang Xing's peach blossom eyes with a smile fell on Concubine Guan, no matter how much power Fang Xing cultivated among the people, he never thought that there would be a secret pile like Concubine Guan who could gain a firm foothold in the harem, although she was not expected to do anything for herself in the future, but if she had an imperial heir, would she change her original intention?
"By the way, why didn't the crown princess come today."
"Said he was sick."
If you are sick, you are sick, what does Bai Yuxiu mean by such a yin and yang weirdness, Fang Xing smiled when he heard this, I have to say, her little sister Ye Ruying is really capable, and after she is pregnant, she can worry about the nursery rhyme, for fear that her child will become the next prince, so isn't it...
The crown princess did not show up last time during the Qianqiu Festival, and Fang Xing vaguely remembered that Luochen had mentioned that the crown princess had a lot of musk in her hands before, so Fang Xingcai really didn't expect that someone would spread the news of pregnancy before her.
Standing up, if Ye Ruying's child is born, her name alone should not be underestimated, but with a smart woman like the crown princess, how could she not figure out how such a rude absence is too different from her style.
A palace banquet ended when it was dark, but the snow never stopped, Fang Xing looked at the snow particles spread on the ground, stretched out his hand to take some snowflakes and melted them in the palm of his hand, feeling the cold touch..
A new pattern has begun.
