Chapter 138: Listening to the play
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an. Such as the concubine Niangniang auspicious, Zhuang Concubine Niangniang auspicious, Cheng Concubine Niangniang auspicious! Kang Guiren was the leader, and behind him were Enfei and Wanyan Guiren, and the three of them saluted in unison, with a sweet voice.
The emperor was slightly stunned, and it took a long time before he said, "It's Mianmian, right?" ”
Kang Guiren smiled happily and nodded: "It's the concubine." ”
Concubine Zhuang raised her eyebrows, stepped forward unhurriedly, and looked at Kang Guiren carefully, before she wondered: "How can the emperor recognize Kang Guiren?" But the concubines couldn't tell the difference. ”
Concubine Cheng covered her lips and seemed to be smiling: "Concubine Zhuang doesn't know anything, Kang Guiren has a dense and supple temperament, and you can see it when you speak." And the beautiful noble girl is pregnant, with a little bit of a little daughter's attitude, lively and lovely. ”
"Oh, I see." Concubine Zhuang suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, it's really the fault of the concubine." It has been a while since the two nobles entered the palace, and the concubines neglected to care for them, so they didn't know it. Thanks to Sister Chengfei's meticulous observation, otherwise I'm afraid I would have made a joke! ”
The emperor didn't mind, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mianmian and Sufu are twin sisters." It's really hard to tell from the appearance alone, and it took me a long time to not be indistinguishable. ”
Kang Guiren bowed gently, like a trembling delicate flower in the breeze, the beauty was fresh and refined: "The emperor doesn't know, my sister wants to show her strengths today, sing for the emperor and your sisters, and appear on the stage!" ”
"Say what?" Concubine Cheng thought she had misheard: "Are you saying that the noble people are going to perform for the emperor in person today?" But I don't know which one to sing? ”
"The Legend of the White Snake." Kang Guiren spoke softly and slowly, just right. "I wonder if it's in line with the emperor's and your sisters' wishes?"
Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and her eyes finally hid the light of ridicule. "The white snake is loved in his heart, and he has gone through hardships and dangers, which can be described as really infatuated. It turned out to be a rare precious truth in the world, but it was difficult for the noble people to be so obsessed with this play. ”
The emperor frequently bowed his head and said unconsciously: "According to legend, this play has been passed down to the world since the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a long history today." It's been a long time since I've heard this play, and it's time to learn from the past. ”
Only then did Ruyue hand the Xiaowei in her hand to Chang Niang, who was standing on the side, and unconsciously stepped forward: "Since the emperor has Yaxing to hear it, the concubines and others should accompany them." It's just that Xiaowei seems to be a little tired, so why don't Chang Niang take her back to Sister Zhuang's palace to sleep peacefully, it will also disturb our interest in listening to the play. ”
Concubine Zhuang nodded slightly and agreed: "Yes, Xiaowei is still young." I'm afraid I can't understand these affectionate dramas. It's better to take it back and save it the wind. ”
The emperor promised, glanced at Xiaowei reluctantly, and instructed Chang Niang: "You take care of yourself, I will listen to the play, and then go to Yonghe Palace to see her." ”
It was an unintentional remark from the emperor, but it was not so comfortable in the ears of others.
Kang Guiren is, Enconcubine is, and Sula is also.
Obviously, he was listening to the play in Qixiang Palace, but the emperor refused to stay with the two nobles. But she is pregnant, but she can't get any pity from him, can it be said that the work of the emperor's heir is not as good as the work of raising Concubine Zhuang?
The emperor doesn't know how much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered for this child!
Sulla is still young after all, and she has a lot of signs of being unable to hold her breath. I panicked with grievances in my heart, and the grievances in my eyes slowly flowed to vent. Enconcubine's gaze only touched her for a moment, and she finally realized her heart. I couldn't help but shrink my heart.
"Concubine Zhuang said that this white snake is an infatuated woman. That's a distant thing, and the concubine can't see the innocence. However, there is no shortage of such infatuated women around the concubines, but I don't know if the emperor can see it. En's concubine pursed her lips and gently touched Yan's back with her shoulder.
Sula didn't expect Concubine En's concubine to suddenly bring the topic to herself, and hung her head a little shyly. "The concubine said that the concubine laughed, the concubine's heart for the emperor is just the same as the sisters and sisters in the harem."
When Concubine Zhuang heard this, she coughed lightly and then laughed. After Yan Guiren's words, he grabbed the thoughts of all the sisters and sisters in the harem, and he insisted that he was affectionate. The emperor listens, how touching it is. ”
"Lady Wanyan?" Ruyue gently agreed, and slowly spoke: "It's the concubine who is not thoughtful." The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared the title for Yan Guiren, and the concubines have also asked the queen mother. But for some reason, the minions have not yet reported this matter to the emperor. ”
The emperor listened to Concubine Zhuang's vinegary words, and his heart was sweet. Hearing that Concubine Ru mentioned the title, he motioned for Concubine Ru to sit down and talk about it. "Which word?"
"Charm." Her eyes are like water, clear and smiling. "Sister Sula is delicate and bright, like a flower. It is the meaning of this flattering word, the concubine thinks that her sister's charming and lovely smile is very appropriate. Please also ask the emperor to approve it. ”
Concubine Cheng and Concubine Zhuang are so temperamental, they understand the intention of Concubine Ru when they hear it. Glancing at Sula's face again, Concubine Cheng nodded vigorously: "Charming, coquettish, it really is the most appropriate." Isn't Sister Sula such an infatuated cute person in the mouth of the concubine? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines also think it's very good." Concubine Zhuang's little bird was pasted up like a person: "Does the emperor think it's appropriate?" ”
"Yes, quite to my liking." The emperor didn't appreciate the artistic conception of this word too much, and he didn't take a fancy to Sula.
If you don't even look at it, you will inevitably not know how aggrieved Sula is in her heart. This word, all she thinks of is embarrassment, relying on flattery, or kitsch pandering? Sulla didn't dare to think about it, and only swallowed all her resentment. "Thank you to the emperor, concubines, thank you like concubines."
Kang Guiren has an idea after all, so he listens and looks at it without interjecting. After the Yan family recognized the title, he said: "Your Majesty, if there is no order from the side, the play will begin." I think I'm ready now! ”
"Naturally, it's good." The emperor promised, and then remembered something: "Flattering nobles, don't be polite." Sit down and listen to the play with me. ”
There was some confusion in his head, and Sula almost didn't know the emperor's words very clearly. Fortunately, Concubine Enfei and Kang Guiren had already come to help her, so she stood up calmly with the strength of her two hands: "The concubine obeys the order." ”
Ruyue and Concubine Zhuang were in charge, sitting on the emperor's side, one left and one right. The next one is Concubine Cheng and Kang Guiren. The concubine helped Sura who was already a charming nobleman to sit at the end, and both of them sighed silently.
After sighing, the concubine gently patted the back of the hand of the frightened nobleman, and said in her ear: "The emperor is just blinded, and he definitely won't have those bad thoughts." Let's say that today, none of us have the ability to compete with Concubine Ru, so we can only endure it. ”
Sula tried to keep her smile on her face and not let herself lose too ugly. But even so, the sourness in her heart still hit her heart one by one, and she almost wanted to vomit.
"Are you alright?" Enfei saw that Mei Guiren was so uncomfortable, and took off her handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her sideburns in distress.
Ruyue listened to the sound and couldn't help but look back: "It will be more difficult to conceive the imperial heir, and it will be difficult to be a nobleman." He turned his head and glanced at the emperor, and then he was dissatisfied: "The emperor is really inconsiderate, not considerate at all." My sister is so hard with the dragon descendant, and she has to come to Qixiang Palace to accompany her to listen to the play, which is really hard. ”
"Since it's uncomfortable, let's go back to the palace and rest." In the eyes of the emperor, at this moment, there are only excellent beautiful nobles on the stage. Where can I take a look at Sula.
"The emperor's concubines are fine." Sula didn't want to be driven away by Ruyue like this, so she couldn't help but say a few words: "Xu is child in the womb has become more and more naughty after watching such a wonderful scene, so he tossed the concubine." It doesn't matter in the end. Besides, I am always bored in the palace all day long, so it is better to talk to my sisters, and it is better to be lively. ”
Ruyue smiled indifferently and didn't look back, but pulled the emperor and said the words: "Look, this beautiful nobleman's figure is really good-looking." The concubine originally thought that Xu was too thin and weak to sing the white lady's obsessive and decisive affection, but she didn't want to be in place like this. Every move and style has a history, and it doesn't lose to the best corner of our capital! ”
"I sound great, too." The emperor smiled from ear to ear, and his eyes were still warmly looking at the beauty on the stage. Obviously, he didn't have time to pay attention to the beautiful nobleman behind him.
Concubine Zhuang saw all this, Concubine Cheng also saw it in her eyes, and everyone knew it.
Although Kang Guiren was a little anxious, he didn't show half a point, but just turned around from time to time to take a look. "There are a lot of sour plums newly pickled in the palace of the concubines, refreshing and appetizing, and it is best to eat at this time. Cuizhi, you take the little girls, choose some good ones. Give the emperor and your sisters a try.
Naturally, it is also suitable for nobles to enter, which can alleviate the symptoms of joy. ”
"I remember, Ruyue, when you are smiling, you are often happy, and it is very hard." The emperor couldn't help but sigh when he heard Kang Guiren's words. As if he woke up again, he turned around and told the nobleman: "Sula, you are weak, you have to take care of yourself." ”
"Thank you to the emperor, the concubines should be cautious." Mei Guiren smiled gratefully at Kang Guiren, if it weren't for her words, the emperor would not have looked at him again today.
That's how it is, even if you become a serious little master, you can only be given such a light title by others. Even if she is pregnant with the emperor's child, she can't get into his eyes, let alone his heart.
Finally, Li died, and Sula really thought that his good fortune had just begun. Unexpectedly, she just had a flower bud, so she was easily ruined, and she was not even given a chance to bloom.
How can she be willing, how can she be willing.
The clenched fists were carefully hidden in the wide sleeves, and the hatred was like a seed, quietly sprouting and taking root in her heart.
