The palace door of Zhong Cui Palace was open, but Su Wanrong had no other taste except for feeling cold. These days, the palace people who come and go to deliver medicine have seen her enter the palace like a ghost, and they are afraid to avoid her. As soon as the bitter medicine soup was poured down, the stomach hurt like a fire, and she was tortured to death and come back to life, what was it for?

And the predicament of these days is undoubtedly an indelible imprint of Su Wanrong's life, deeply engraved in the center of her brain, and will never be forgotten. In addition to hatred, there is more regret. Su Wanrong didn't hate the queen for having such a trick, but hated that she was incapable of competing with the queen, but she still thought how smart she was. Regret is the same, regret that you were too rash and reckless, so you ended up where you are now.

Standing in the courtyard of Zhongcui Palace stupidly, looking at the copper ingot palace gate of the harem not far away, Su Wanrong's resentment churned in her stomach, which was already a little unbearable, and she would definitely do it again when she stepped out of this palace gate again. Until she has the ability to knock out the queen with a single blow, she will never act rashly.

"Niangniang, this is sent by the queen to Changle of the Internal Affairs Office." Xue Lan led a few rough palace maids and brought things to Concubine Chun: "If you don't like it, the slaves and maids will be placed in the warehouse, and it will be an eyesore." ”

"Wait." Su Wanrong has been wearing no makeup during her illness, and she doesn't want the queen to even reward her with rouge: "Xuelan, you personally go to thank the queen for me, wouldn't it be a pity that such a good thing is locked in the treasury." It's in my room. It can be seen and used at any time, and it is natural to always remember the queen's kindness. ”

Xue Lan could hear the words in Concubine Chun's words, but she couldn't see the slightest other look on her face, so she could only respond: "The slave understands, please rest assured." ”

On the 15th day of August, the inside and outside of the Chengqian Palace are full of flowers, and hundreds of red lanterns are hung high on the corridor, which looks like a fire dragon dancing from a distance, winding and soaring into the clouds, rendering a rich festivity. Naturally, such a good lantern is not only in the Chengqian Palace, but also in all the courtyards of the East and West Six Palaces, all of which are shrouded in such a good festivity, shining red and shining brightly on the entire Forbidden City.

And at such a lively time, the focus of attention is not the emperor. Concubine Xian went back and forth in the front hall and back hall, carefully in every detail of the banquet, and was very busy.

However, the emperor didn't see the beautiful woman for a while, and he felt a little missing, and glanced at Concubine Xian's seat from time to time. Lan Xin could see the emperor's thoughts, so he instructed Suo Lan: "Concubine Xian has also been busy for a while, you go and see if there is any help." Please take a seat, this time has been busy. ”

Hongli smiled slightly, and said to Li Yu: "Go and see if the Queen Mother's Fengyu has arrived, send someone to greet her." ”

Duo Lan hurriedly walked in, and saw that Concubine Xian was inspecting the wine, so she had to step forward and whisper in her ear: "Niangniang, please take a step to speak." ”

Panyu saw that her face was not very good-looking, as if something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"The noble Yehenara who is preparing to sing and dance in the lower courtyard is injured, and his feet are swollen so badly that I am afraid that he will not be able to dance!" Duo Lan knew that for this song and dance, Concubine Xian had put a lot of thought into it. It was another dance of excitement that the emperor and queen had been looking forward to, and it was suddenly canceled, so it had to be messed up.

"It's so decent, how can you hurt your foot?" Panyu felt that this matter was strange, and the nobles of Yehenara tried every means to dance for the emperor and queen, and they would definitely not be so careless. And at this critical time, if you don't go to that nobleman, you can't get along with yourself. "Is the injury serious?"

"The warm jade piece on the sole of the dancing shoe broke, stabbing the center of the foot. And the wound is not shallow, and the bleeding is difficult to stop. Even if he can barely dance, but if the blood flows out of the dancing shoes, so that the emperor and the queen mother can see it, wouldn't it be ......" Duo Lan didn't dare to say any more.

"In this way, when the Queen Mother comes, the emperor will announce the opening of the banquet, let the palace maids dance the "Celebration of Reunion" first, and I will go to see the nobles of Yehenara." Panyu was about to leave, but Suo Lan greeted him.

"Concubine Xian Niangniang is auspicious, the queen mother asked the slave maid to help the handle, please ask the mother to go over and rest." Suo Lan smiled happily and said, "Niangniang has been busy for a while, it's almost time to start the banquet, you better go in and rest, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." ”

Pan Yu smiled, but said: "Thank you for the queen's care, but now there is a tricky matter, and this palace must go and see it in person." ”

Duo Lan is familiar with Suo Lan, and they are excellent little sisters, seeing that Concubine Xian said this, she doesn't plan to hide it. Then he said: "Sister doesn't know, Yehenara nobles hurt their feet, I'm afraid they won't be able to dance." The dance of "Fu Lu Shengping" has been prepared for a while, and if it is temporarily changed at this time, I am afraid that it will ......"

How could Suo Lan not understand the stakes, Concubine Xian's ability to organize this feast is the dignity given by the emperor, and it is the queen's mother's opinion. If you let the queen mother and the emperor disappoint the fun, wouldn't it be disrespectful. What's more, after Concubine Xian returned to favor, she did such an unfavorable thing for the first time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such a limelight in the future.

"Can you find someone to replace you?" Suo Lan glanced at Concubine Xian's face and asked tentatively: "The dance of "Fulu Shengping" is choreographed by the dancers in the palace, and many dancers can dance. Now that the nobleman Yehnara is injured, the solo dance is not possible, can it be changed to a group dance? ”

When Concubine Xian heard Suo Lan say this, she felt that her brain was spinning very fast and very clever, no wonder she could serve by the queen's side. "Group dancing is good, but even group dancing always needs a flexible dancer to lead the dancer. in order to bring out the extreme of this dance. ”

Duo Lan also felt that it was inappropriate: "This dance was originally designed for the nobles of Yehenara, and the new music was adapted to increase the difficulty. When it rotated, the rhythm was accelerated, and I was afraid that the palace maid didn't understand, and it was difficult to control it for a while and make a fool of myself......"

"The Queen Mother has arrived." Gao Xiang's voice was very penetrating, and the three of them couldn't help but tremble.

"The Queen Mother is here, won't she have to dance soon, this ......" Duolan's anxious face turned white: "The slave maid went to tell the musician, go to "Celebrate Reunion" first. A dance kung fu, you can have another idea. ”

At this time, Panyu's heart was also a little confused, knowing that this was designed by others, how could she plant it. "Suo Lan, do you know who else in the palace concubines has excellent dancing skills. How can the dance of the little master be completed by the slave and maid instead? ”

Suo Lan also felt quite reasonable when she heard this, and suddenly heard the song of "Celebrating Reunion", her heart suddenly shook, and she happily replied almost with laughter: "The slave maid remembered that a few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a few new dance clothes for the nobles of Xianfu Palace. When the nobles of Melle entered the palace, they also danced for the emperor. ”

A suspicious shadow flashed in Panyu's heart, but he didn't say it. "Without further ado, go and ask the nobleman Mailer to come over and ask her if she would like to do this dance."

Suo Lan nodded: "Concubine Xian Niangniang later, the slave maid will go." ”

Could it be her? Panyu was very skeptical. If this nobleman was also good at dancing, then no one would hate Yehnara more than her. And if Yehenara is injured, she can take her place, and what better way to fight pets than this? Of course, I don't have time to think about these at this time, how to survive the feast in front of me, without deviation, is what Panyu is most worried about.

The legs and feet were neat, and it didn't take long for Suo Lan to invite the Mellor over.

"Concubine Xian called her concubines over, I don't know what to order." Yizhu behaved very calmly, but when she learned that "Fu Lu Shengping" was replaced by "Celebrating Reunion", she already understood everything in her heart.

"I've heard from this palace that the nobles of Maile are good at dancing, I don't know if that's the case?" Pan Yu is right, and his tone is slightly serious.

"Concubines have been dancing since childhood, and they are not good at dancing, but they can always dance." Yizhu was slightly puzzled: "Why did Niangniang ask her concubine about this at this time?" ”

Panyu couldn't tell whether she was really confused or pretending to be confused, and said simply: "The noble Yehenara sprained her ankle and can't dance, are you willing to dance a "Fulu Shengping" on her behalf to dedicate to the emperor, the queen mother and the queen." ”

"This ......" Yizhu hesitated slightly, then turned her eyes and smiled: "Don't hide it from Concubine Xian, the concubine doesn't have such an opportunity, how can you miss it if you come for nothing." But the concubine didn't prepare dance clothes and shoes, what should I do? ”

"You're pretty honest." Panyu saw that she didn't pretend to refuse, and was a little relieved: "The Internal Affairs Office has prepared a few more sets of clothes, and they will be put in the side hall, and let Suo Lan wait for you to change your clothes, and the next song is." Are you confident that you can jump well? ”

"Concubines should do their best." Yizhu smiled warmly, her expression was calm, there was no fluttering joy, and she was not cramped and uneasy.

"Suo Lan, I have to trouble you to wait for the nobles to change their clothes, and the palace will go to the banquet first to explain the reason to the emperor." Panyu always felt that things seemed to be forced step by step, but when I thought about it, it didn't look like it was arranged in advance. How could it be so coincidental that he was injured during the main banquet. How could it be such a coincidence?

The dancers danced enchantingly, showing their beauty, which inevitably disturbed the Queen Mother and the emperor's Yaxing, and Pan Yu only quietly walked into his seat from behind. Gently blessed and greeting, and did not make any sound.

Seeing that Suo Lan did not come, and the order of singing and dancing had changed, the queen already knew it. When he borrowed the wine, he leaned close to the emperor's ear and said: "Sister Xian is smart and clever, and she has a unique mind, maybe there will be unexpected surprises today." The emperor will be able to feast his eyes. ”

Hongli smiled, drank the wine in the cup and said: "The palace has not been so lively for a long time, I miss such a good time, but I know that this situation is not easy." Thank you, Lan Xin. ”

The Queen Mother on the other side of the emperor's side also heard these words, but she didn't make a sound. On the contrary, he enjoyed eating the delicacies in front of him, and his face was full of joy.

Yafu took advantage of the opportunity to offer wine to the Queen Mother, and whispered in his ear: "The slave maid heard that today's banquet was organized by Concubine Xian, and she also invited a few concubines and concubines. But it was not as good as the queen mother's heart, and even the person the queen didn't want to see was invited. ”
