Chapter 873: Birthday Banquet (2)
Among the beautiful girls who are fourteen or fifteen years old, the oldest but only sixteen years old, the eight-year-old Miss Xie Si is particularly eye-catching.
Miss Xie Si has delicate eyebrows and eyes, a childish face, and combs her hair, which is very cute......
It's just that he is short and hasn't grown up yet.
The orders of the people looked at Xie Rouxi silently for a while, and then, their eyes fell on the Xu family, whose face was as thick as a city wall.
The Xu family, who was born in a secret prostitute and has a rough temperament and speaks directly, is particularly eye-catching and out of place among the ladies who have ordered them. However, Xu Shi was not half uncomfortable, and nodded with a smile at the people he knew from time to time.
One has to admire the strength of the skin.
Because Lin Weiwei and Xie Mingxi are close friends, Mrs. Lin is always a little closer to the Xie family's daughters. took the lead and smiled at Xu: "I haven't seen the old lady for some days, and my complexion has been really good recently." ”
Xu smiled: "Those villains outside with sores on their tongues and pus on the soles of their feet are chewing their tongues behind their backs. My wife sat upright, ate well, slept well, and looked good. ”
The ladies around them, who had ears and eavesdropping, looked away without changing their faces.
Mrs. Lin smiled secretly, looked at Miss Xie Si carefully, and praised with a smile: "Miss Xie Si is very delicate and smart, and if you look closely, she is a little similar to the queen's mother." ”
Xu immediately reciprocated the favor and praised the beautiful and square girl beside Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin has only one daughter, Lin Weiwei, under her knees. The girl with me today is the daughter of the Lin family's next room.
Mrs. Lin Yushi Lin didn't want to block the queen's mother, and wanted to pick a niece who was not outstanding to bring into the palace. However, the people of the Lin clan moved their minds and sent Miss Lin Qi, who was the most talented, to Mrs. Lin.
has the same helplessness as Mrs. Lin, as well as Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Lu.
The temptation to enter the palace to give birth to an heir for a concubine is too great, and the people can't be moved.
In the past half a month, the family has almost started fighting for the candidate for "congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday". The selected ladies, all of whom are outstanding in appearance and outstanding in learning, gather together today, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, dazzling.
Empress Dowager Yu has not yet appeared, and all the orders have been led to the side hall to wait. While Xu and Mrs. Lin were gossiping, the rest of the edicts were also whispering and praising each other.
"This girl beside you is born with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful country!"
"The little girl looks vulgar and doesn't dare to praise it. In my opinion, the girl next to Mrs. Fang is the graceful and touching in the show! ”
"Where, Where, ......"
Then, Xu's loud voice sounded loudly over everyone: "The Queen Mother's birthday, let everyone bring the younger generations into the palace to congratulate the mother on her birthday." My wife looked at it today, yo, it's really a Peugeot water spirit of the race! It's not like coming to celebrate a birthday, but it's like a beauty pageant. ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Lin to speak, Xu laughed.
Everyone: "......"
The Xu family has a reputation, and no one dares to provoke her. Everyone felt disturbed when they heard this harsh words, and each twitched the corners of their mouths.
……
Half an hour later, the neatly dressed Empress Dowager Yu sat on the phoenix chair in the Jiaofang Palace.
Xiao Yuhan and Xie Mingxi sat on the left and right sides of the Empress Dowager Yu, and next to each other were Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao. All the concubines in the palace were present.
Next, everyone ordered to enter the temple one by one according to the grade to congratulate the birthday. The birthday gifts presented are all rare and precious.
With a young girl on the side, these rare treasures suddenly looked dull.
Empress Dowager Yu was in a very good mood today, and asked Xie Mingxi with a smile from time to time: "How does the queen think of Miss Lu?" ”
"How is Miss Zhao?"
"This Miss Mei Si was born like Concubine Mei when she was young!"
In front of everyone's eyes, Queen Xie looked calm and smiled slowly: "Miss Mei Si has an elegant temperament and a beautiful appearance. The daughter-in-law looks fantastic. ”
Everyone: "......"
Concubine Mei was a little uneasy, and subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at Xie Mingxi. Seeing that Xie Mingxi did not look angry, he was a little relieved.
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly, Zhao Changqing hung his head and was silent as usual, Yin Xiaoxiao's natural chivalrous heart, seeing Empress Dowager Yu acting like this in public, her heart was angry.
There are rules for choosing a concubine.
Even if you want to choose a concubine, you should also make a charter, and the queen of the middle palace will choose it herself.
Empress Dowager Yu asked in public like this, obviously deliberately losing Xie Mingxi's face in public.
"The daughters-in-law were also outstanding and top-notch ladies back then." Yin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth coldly, and her tone was full of sourness: "The queen mother only has these famous and noble girls who have entered the palace for the first time in her eyes today, where is there a daughter-in-law." ”
Xiao Yuhan took over the conversation very cooperatively, and sighed with a smile: "Isn't it? It's Sister Fu'er, and the queen mother didn't take a look at it today! ”
In fact, this little battle is really nothing to Xie Mingxi. She had already planned to deal with it.
But Yin Xiaoxiao's righteous insistence and Xiao Yuhan's efforts to protect him made Xie Mingxi's heart feel warm.
She is no longer alone as she was in her previous life. In this life, although she is in the palace, she is accompanied by her beloved husband and has friends standing by her side.
A trace of anger flashed in Empress Dowager Yu's eyes, and she smiled pointedly: "The mourning family loves you the most on weekdays. If you neglect a little bit today, you will not forgive. That's it, the mourners don't look at them next, they look at you. ”
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled, pun intended: "The queen mother said yesterday that the most painful thing was her daughter-in-law, but she said it casually to coax her daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law will not dare to believe her mother's words in the future. ”
Everyone laughed.
The Jiaofang Hall is still lively and "harmonious".
Xu was originally full of annoyance. At this time, seeing that Xie Mingxi could handle it with ease, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I still muttered in my heart.
The beautiful girl with delicate and lovely eyes is either elegant or dignified or pretty or charming, and even she, an old woman who is half-buried in the loess, is pleasing to the eye.
Later, the Son of Heaven will come to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, looking at the beauties in the hall, how can you not think about it?
……
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at it quietly, and sneered in her heart.
There is no cat in the world that does not steal.
No matter how much the man is in love, when he sees the flowers in the garden, he will also have the idea of folding one or two flowers. This time it didn't work, and there was a second and third time......
Didn't the Empress Dowager Li use this method to make Emperor Jianwen and her have different hearts little by little?
Once he loses the favor of the Son of Heaven, no matter how many means Xie Mingxi has, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the palace!
On that day, Xie Mingxi could only lie at her feet and snort at her......
"Empress Dowager Qiyu," Zhilan stepped into the hall and opened her mouth to report: "The emperor came to congratulate Niangniang on her birthday." ”
It's finally here!
The show is about to begin!
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Empress, you go to greet the emperor." ”
