Chapter 77: Competing for the Harem Show
They are all nobles, so they can sit together.
The difference is that the one who spoke just now has a straightforward temper, although there is no backstage in the palace, and he is usually not the master that everyone can mess with at will, so the other two stopped talking when they heard this.
But looking at her gaze is not good.
Mi Yue took a shallow sip of the wine in the glass, and then got up and left the table.
The bad things about women in this palace are bad in their mouths, and she didn't want to say more, but the two of them kept talking about the length of Concubine Wan through her, and she couldn't even hear the rhythm at all, so she was a little depressed.
Out of the Imperial Palace, the cold air outside hit his body all of a sudden.
Mi Yueqing wrapped her cloak a little, looked up at the night sky, and said to herself: "It's noisy, I really don't want to go in." ”
"Right? I think so too. Someone responded to her.
Mi Yueqing turned her head and saw Zhuang Siyan standing in the light not far from her.
A faint yellow light poured down from the top of her head, blurring a small patch of light, and her brow shone brightly in that light.
"Say hello to Concubine Wan." Mi Yue Qing bent and saluted.
Zhuang Siyan approached her, held her hand and said, "What's polite, it's just that the sisters came out to talk." ”
Mi Yueqing smiled lightly.
Zhuang Siyan also smiled and said: "Standing here and looking out, it's quite beautiful, there are lights everywhere, and the snow and ice that haven't been cleared are all colorful." ”
Mi Yue Qing: "Isn't it? It's a little cold in winter, but it's clean and beautiful, and it's still good. ”
"Well, yes, but what do you mean by the word clean?"
Mi Yueqing pointed to the unmelted snow in the distance and showed her: "Sister, look, is that snow very white?" They came down from heaven and covered all the filth and unworthiness of this earth, and the whole earth was clean. ”
When Zhuang Siyan heard this, he glanced at Mi Yueqing more.
"It makes sense, but has my sister ever thought that after the snow melts, it will still be dirty, so the snow is not the main reason for making the earth clean, it just whitewashes the peace."
Mi Yueqing didn't expect that Zhuang Siyan would reply to her words like this, and she didn't expect that Concubine Wan, who was vulgar and unbearable in everyone's mouth, would have such an understanding, and she actually had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend.
"My sister is right, my sister has been taught."
Zhuang Siyan also smiled and said: "It's just small talk, it's good that you won't be annoyed, but then again, I have seen many people in the palace, and it seems that I rarely see you." ”
Mi Yueqing hurriedly saluted again: "My sister's position is low, and my mother's family is not powerful, so although people are in the palace, they rarely walk around." ”
"Oh, you know, if you don't go out, you won't have trouble, it's a good way to protect yourself, you're very smart."
Mi Yue hurriedly said: "My sister praised it. ”
While the two were talking, someone from the palace came over and called them, saying that Concubine Miao was going to play the piano.
Zhuang Siyan immediately pulled Mi Yueqing and said: "Let's go, let's hurry up and take a look, this fairy sister is beautiful, and she plays the piano well, I am fascinated as soon as I see her." ”
Mi Yueqing didn't feel that her movements were abrupt, but there was a sense of intimacy, so she went with her.
On the main hall, Miao Guifei's piano had been set up, she was dressed in fairy clothes, and as soon as she sat in the middle, everyone present suddenly lost her color.
Even Ling Tiancheng, who boasted that he only loved Zhuang Siyan, couldn't help but move his eyes to her.
Concubine Miao first glanced at Ling Tiancheng, then went to see Empress Dowager An, and then put her slender hand on the strings.
The sound of the piano like a waterfall came out, and it sounded, sometimes like a mountain stream, and sometimes like a waterfall.
Zhuang Siyan, who didn't even understand the rhythm of the music, was stunned, looked at her with dead eyes, and kept shouting in his heart: "No, no, no, Lao Tzu is going to bend today, and I will rob this fairy sister to the palace in a while, and take a good look at her." ”
However, at the end of the song, everyone had not yet returned to their senses, and Concubine Miao had already gotten up: "I wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday, a long and healthy life, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Miao'er was a little tired today and retired first. ”
After saying that, the person had already waved his sleeves away, like a delicate butterfly, and flew away like this.
Zhuang Siyan had already gotten up from the chair and followed her outside.
was stopped by Lan Xin and Ping'er at the door.
Zhuang Siyan's eyes were still at Concubine Miao, who was far away, and he said anxiously, "What are you two doing?" Don't stop me, I'm going to see Sister Fairy. ”
Lan Xin lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang, calm down." ”
"How do you calm down? Such a good-looking person, it's rare to see, why didn't the emperor let me go to her, I really wanted to live in the same palace with her, and finally slept in the same bed...... ”
Lan Xin swallowed hard and accentuated her voice: "Niangniang, can you take a look back?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "Why look back, although the back are all beauties, they are all cabbages compared to the fairy sisters, so I don't want to look at their ......." ”
That being said, but still turning his head a little.
Then she saw the palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, emperors, including the queen mother, all looking at her with a strange look.
Zhuang Siyan immediately turned his face back and blamed Lan Xin: "What's the matter, what are they looking at?" ”
Lan Xin: "Niangniang, they're watching you." ”
"Nonsense, what do I have to look at?"
Zhuang Siyan had already brought out the smile on his face as he spoke, turned around and greeted everyone and said, "Hehe, hehe, I'm all looking at Sister Miao, she is really good-looking, it's a pity that she left so early, it's a pity, it's a pity to ......." ”
The words are very wrong, but if you explain it again, it will only get darker and darker.
I can only pretend to sit back in my place as if nothing happened, as if nothing happened.
Ling Tiancheng's eyes widened, and he didn't want to make her ugly in front of so many people, so he said to the court: "Don't be stunned, Concubine Rong's zither is the best, I like it very much." ”
When Concubine Rong heard this, she didn't have the heart to go to see Zhuang Siyan again, so she quickly got up, and after also saluting the person on top, she took her own zither and played it.
Zhuang Siyan, who was relieved, took a breath in his position.
In the end, she was still thinking about Concubine Miao's temperament, and she would glance at the door from time to time, but she didn't even hear what Concubine Rong played.
But the other palace concubines heard it clearly, and they were still observing Ling Tiancheng's face.
Secretly guessed, it turned out that the emperor liked the zither, and he had to learn it himself in the future, although the playing may not be as good as Rong Concubine, but this thing will be practiced.
And then a little unconvinced, isn't it good? Let's not say that it can't be compared with Miao Guifei before, but it's even worse than herself?
Concubine Rong really suffered a lot, in fact, her zither playing was good, but she was temporarily called up by Ling Tiancheng and placed behind Concubine Miao.
With this kind of string skills, I am afraid that my front and back will be super good, and my moment will be turned into slag in seconds.
When Concubine Rong first got up, she still felt that the emperor valued her, but when she flicked and flicked, she found that something was not right, especially when she saw the contemptuous eyes of other concubines.
Her heart was also messed up, so the second half of the play was even more unsatisfactory.
At the end of the song, Concubine Rong got up, her mood was already extremely bad, and her face was not very good-looking.
However, Ling Tiancheng spoke at this time: "Sure enough, Concubine Rong is the most heartfelt, but today's song is a little more anxious, later, how about I go to your palace and play a song alone?" ”
The tears in Concubine Rong's eyes were about to come out, and she knelt down with relief, and said with a lot of tenderness: "The emperor wants to hear it, and the concubines are naturally waiting, not to mention a song, even if it is played until dawn, the concubines are also willing." ”
Ling Tiancheng relieved her, she could still see it, but this heart, regardless of whether the emperor still went to her palace, made Concubine Rong grateful.
In fact, Ling Tiancheng's idea was very simple.
Behind these concubines, there is a courtier hanging in each, and Ling Tiancheng's attitude is not afraid of not being favored or suppressed.
Most of his current energy is in ruling the world, and some ministers in the court can really do things, and they can't affect the affairs of the previous dynasty because of a certain concubine.
He can handle the severity clearly, so these concubines, if they don't commit crimes against him, he generally won't care too much, and will even deliberately give them face.
He won't have a relationship with them anyway, and it's good that everyone is okay.
Later, another palace concubine went up to perform, no matter how good or bad, Ling Tiancheng still praised her, and even rewarded some things.
The night is getting deeper, the cold is getting heavier and heavier, Empress Dowager An is already a little sleepy, so she wants to end it early, and Zhuang Siyan's magic weapon has not yet been played.
She wasn't in a hurry, it was a big deal to go back and perform alone for Ling Tiancheng to see.
However, there are still people who remember her, and she is still remembered by an old acquaintance, a concubine.
She came from the door, the clothes on her body were not thick, her frozen lips were purple, and when she knelt down to greet Ling Tiancheng, she coughed a few times.
Ling Tiancheng didn't blame her for going out of the cold palace without permission, but said: "It's cold, why come out, Li Gui, take my cloak to Concubine Xian." ”
The rain and dew are all in this realm, and the eyes of all the concubines are round, and the concubines are so moved that they cry on the spot.
I was afraid that I had painted my makeup, so I was busy wiping it with a handkerchief and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines should have abided by the palace rules and stayed in the Qixiang Palace, but today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has always loved her concubines, so she took the liberty to come and hope that the emperor will forgive her sins." ”
"What's the sin? The concubine is filial, the queen mother knows, I know even more, get up. ”
As soon as Concubine Xian got up from the ground, her eyes turned to Zhuang Siyan's body: "Your Majesty, the concubines also want to play a song to celebrate the Queen Mother." ”
"Aifei, you are not in good health, you seem to have a cold wind, so let's rest!" Ling Tiancheng's tone was already a little cold.
From the way she glanced at Zhuang Siyan just now, he had already guessed this woman's intention to come today.
However, Concubine Xian finally came out today, just to make Zhuang Siyan ugly, how could she let go of such an opportunity.
Asked again: "The concubine is fine, but the concubine only plays the music a little monotonous, I heard that Concubine Wan's dancing is amazing, I don't know if you can perform together?" ”
Ling Tiancheng didn't speak, there was frost on his face, and his eyes became sharper, staring at Xian Concubine from afar.
Zhuang Siyan also looked at her, but with a funny face.
It turned out that she had been preparing for a long time, just wanting to pull herself into the water, but she still didn't give up.
