Chapter 10: The Full Moon Feast
Dongfang Chen didn't stay in Shoukang Palace for long because of government affairs, but Wei Qingguan stayed until Shen Shi waited for the Queen Mother to go to bed before leaving.
At that time, her mood was not affected by the Wei family, and she had a smile on her face.
However, not long after Wei Qingguan left, the Queen Mother, who had already closed her eyes and slept peacefully, sat up from the bed, alarming Aunt Roufu who was waiting beside her, Roufu took a golden silk soft pillow for the Queen Mother to cushion behind her, and the Queen Mother said quietly.
"You have tempted the queen for a long time today, but as the rumors in the harem say, the queen is possessed by evil spirits!"
"It's not as powerful as the people in the palace say, it's just that this queen has become incomprehensible to us now, as if she suddenly has a nine-song exquisite heart. And looking at the emperor like that, I'm afraid that in the future, if it's really as the queen said, the emperor won't be able to let go! ”
didn't plan to play haha with his master, Roufu said everything in his heart, with some sadness on his face, and the queen mother on the side just smirked coldly, "That girl has grown up!" ”
"Dead once but alive more transparent than the mourning family, her words today but evoked some of the past in the heart of the mourning family, if at her age, the mourning family can be as open as her, now the mourning family does not need to be in this Shoukang Palace desperately for themselves for Tao Yao, hard work!"
A long sigh from the bottom of his heart made the master and servant two can't help but recall the past, in this harem for half a lifetime, once favored, now for power, struggling to survive.
"The eldest princess is smart, and the old general Shangguan is a sensible person, the eldest princess can't endure hardships in Shangguan's family, after all, there is you and the emperor behind Princess G!" The queen mother only has these two children in her life, and in her early years, she struggled for the throne for Dongfang Chen, and then for the marriage of the eldest princess, she looked at it and calculated, for fear that marrying the wrong Lang Jun would make the princess suffer for a lifetime!
Hearing Roufu's relief, the Queen Mother only pulled her lips and said lightly: "Your Majesty! Now I really can't see through him, the old general Shangguan is powerful, but the affairs of this inner house have always been handled by his wife, Tao Yao has been married for five years, and he has never had a child, I heard that Mrs. Shangguan has been anxious to find a concubine for the concubine in the children of the family......"
"The royal family has always been ruthless, you don't know, now the Shangguan family has a face in front of the emperor, if they want to take concubines for the concubine because of the heir, the emperor can not allow their request, the queen said that she can lose this right, but the mourning family can't be lost, and if the mourning family is lost in this Shoukang Palace, it will really become an old woman who cares about it for many years, for the sake of Taoyao, for the entire Gu family behind the mourning family, the mourning family can't rest now......"
Five days later, the full moon of the little prince of Dongfang Yan will arrive. For the sudden death of Wei Qingguan, the little prince's washing banquet did not make a big deal, and now it is regarded as compensation Dongfang Chen ordered the Ministry of Rites to make sure that there was any mistake at the full moon banquet of the little prince, and the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to make any mistakes after receiving the emperor's order.
Since Dongfang Chen's accession to the throne, the first amnesty in the world is today, and this move makes all the people more and more sure that the queen's position in the emperor's heart is extraordinary! But the people in the palace have their own thoughts, and they have to recalculate for the future.
From early in the morning, Wei Qingguan began to bathe and change clothes, and a few girls around him cleaned up and fiddled for themselves.
The woman in front of the mirror has a graceful figure, and her hands are soft and delicate, and she depicts exquisite makeup with a careful brush. The red placket embroidered with a hundred birds and a phoenix flutters on the long skirt, the bright red Kodan with a pair of red lips, slender eyebrows and eyes, and the twelve-winged phoenix crown is extremely prosperous and enchanting.
Wei Qingguan smiled to himself in the mirror, very satisfied with his appearance at the moment. And Bang Chun on the side looked at the glamorous appearance of the person in the mirror, and couldn't help but think of those four words, Phoenix Nirvana! At this moment, the master in front of him really has the appearance of a queen!
Because Dongfang Chen attaches great importance to it, for a whole day, Wei Qingguan took the little prince Dongfang Yan to be congratulated by the imperial court in the Taihe Palace, and laughed at her with a mask-like face that she couldn't help herself, and the little prince in her hand slept very sweetly on her.
It wasn't until the evening that she finally had a moment to stop. At this moment, in the Yongning Palace, she sat next to the emperor at the top, the Queen Mother was on the right and she was on the left, and the next was Concubine Xian, Concubine Min and Concubine Ying, and Li Zhaoyi did not appear because she was still thinking about today's feast.
Concubine Min and Concubine Min are also dressed up very carefully today, Concubine Min has gained real power, and now it is the time for the spring breeze to be proud, wearing a snow-blue Danfeng Chaoyang's Hunan embroidered dark flower placket palace dress, and the flying fairy bun with eight treasures on the golden branches, falling beads, swaying on the sideburns.
Concubine Xian also does not lose any momentum, the purple Suzhou embroidery blooms rich and elastic ink brocade long skirt, and the peony embroidered with gold thread extends from the corner of the skirt to the waist, not bewitching, showing nobility. A pair of jasper and phoenix on the phoenix bun shook the wind to blow Ling Ling, and the momentum of the two did not give in, but it made Concubine Ying, who was only dressed normally, as smooth and elegant as the Jiangnan in March.
Wei Qingguan, who was indifferent to Dongfang Chen's concubines, was more interested in her mother's family tonight, and her eyes fell on the place that belonged to her mother's family after she sat down. Father Wei Mian and mother Wei Jiang took their youngest daughter Wei Tingcheng into the palace today, while grandmother Mrs. Wei fell ill in the spring and has been bedridden to recuperate and has never come.
Compared with her eldest daughter, who is not favored by her parents, her sister has been held in her heart by her mother since she was a child, and her temperament is naturally very pampered, looking at her dress today, Wei Qingguan has some thoughts in her heart, and looks at her shy and timid gaze from time to time on the man next to her, she can't help but want to laugh in her heart, the girl Erba is also the time to think ~ spring!
It's just that this sister seems to have fallen into the problem of liking to grab her own things since she was a child.,This problem hasn't changed when she grows up.,She used to be cowardly and fiddling with her.,But now it's not good.。
The man who was finally hooked by his side, how could he be coveted by others, especially that person who still made him annoying, he really owed a lesson.
"The little girl of the Wei family is also becoming more and more beautiful, in the end, she is the same mother as the queen, look at it, it is really bright and moving!"
When everyone below was still bowing their heads and whispering to each other, a voice from the Queen Mother focused all their eyes on Wei Qingcheng.
The cherry red moire dark flower brocade long skirt fits the bumpy waist, the white and tender complexion, the shy and timid delicateness, with the convergence of many sights, Wei Qingcheng stood up generously, and respectfully blessed the queen mother.
The Queen Mother hurriedly sat down, and then said to Dongfang Chen beside her as if she remembered something: "Some time ago, the Ministry of Rites was busy with Zhang Luoyan'er's full moon banquet, and the mourning family didn't say much, but now when I saw the Wei family's girl, I remembered the draft." It has been three years since the emperor ascended the throne, and it should be a timely general election, and the heirs of the abundant harem are! ”
As soon as the words fell, the people below seemed to explode the pot, but Concubine Xian's face changed from expressionless at the beginning to a clear pride. Concubine Min, who had just gained the power, had a sneering look on her face, but she just glanced at the queen who was above and looked like she had nothing to do with herself, so she gave up.
However, Concubine Xian smiled and followed the Queen Mother's words, adding: "The Queen Mother must have taken a fancy to the queen's sister at a glance!" After speaking, he looked at the queen who looked at her in a provocative manner, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
"Sister Xian Concubine really wants to stubble this time, this sister of the palace has already promised someone, the palace remembers that it was still the master of the grandfather when he was alive, because the palace had promised the emperor at that time, so the sister no longer considered the draft, so the grandfather promised her to be a parent, the palace remembered that her husband's family was a famous family in Yuncheng, but not in the court, but his father used to be kind to us, so my grandfather promised this family when he was alive. Thinking about it, Sister Xianfei can't get this good sister from this palace to enter the palace and watch her draft? ”
Wei Qingguan's salty and non-salty words silenced the originally proud concubine, and her face was light. And Wei Tingcheng, who was originally praised by the Queen Mother, was not very happy, and his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and there was a layer of mist in his bright eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Looking at Wei Qingcheng's helpless appearance at the moment, Wei Qingguan's heart couldn't help but feel happy, what about slapping them in the face, once upon a time, the so-called relatives sitting under them didn't even give themselves faces, but it was just one moment and another! With Dongfang Chen's support behind him, he has obtained this earth-shattering wealth, and he always has to act recklessly!
"Niangniang doesn't know, the person who originally had a marriage contract in Allure went away because of the epidemic a year ago, so Allure has no marriage contract now!" When Wei Tingcheng didn't know how to deal with himself, Wei Jiang, who has always been a mother, stood up busily to resolve the embarrassment for his little daughter, and the meaning was also very clear, Wei Tingcheng was going to enter the palace draft.
But Wei Qingguan didn't think so, she smiled coldly, "Hehe, it's because the palace is estranged from the family, and the palace doesn't even know about such a big thing." However, fortunately, the man went early, otherwise he went before his sister got married, wouldn't his sister have become a widow, tsk...... That's really missing out on a lifetime of happiness! There was no feeling of pity for her sister in those ridiculous words, and the information mixed with it was just that the Wei family had snubbed her as a queen for a long time, so she was just an outsider now, and she didn't need to be sad about her sister's affairs!
Her words completely made Wei Jiang's and Wei Tingcheng's faces change, Wei Jiang's had long heard that his eldest daughter's temperament had changed greatly, but he never thought that the daughter who had never dared to speak loudly and disobeyed himself had such a clever speech, but Wei Tingcheng bit his lower lip tightly, his face was a little blue, and he looked at his sister with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.
The rest of the people never thought that the queen would attack her mother's family in front of the public like this, and her face was also embarrassed, but everyone here knew that the Wei family was not kind to her daughter, and they only said in their hearts that they deserved it!
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder and colder, Wei Qingguan didn't intend to give them any face, and his eyes turned lightly to his sister's gentle comfort, "It's nothing, I'm just curious to ask that sentence, but I don't want to make my sister sad, I think my sister is also thinking about that person." But there are many young talents sitting here today, otherwise let the emperor point you to a good one, this time I will find you a strong and healthy one, and I will not let my sister have such a sad thing happen! ”
Wei Qingguan seemed to be deliberately embarrassing Wei Tingcheng, and the appearance of another voice at that time was like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, which hit Wei Qingcheng's throbbing heart even more, "What the queen said is that on a rare good day, Miss Wei San can take a look, if you close your eyes, I will give you the grace to marry you as the county lord, and you will definitely not lose any of your face, and it can be regarded as a piece of filial piety of the queen!" ”
