Chapter 197: The Palace Banquet is Male and Female
Concubine Tou looked at the people around her and felt very interesting in her heart. When Xia Yuqiu looked at the invitation, her eyes were straight, this woman was not her biological flesh and blood, and even this kind of scheming could be hidden so deeply, it was really like her mother. It's just a lowly embryo, if she hadn't been kind enough to adopt it back then, I'm afraid that this girl would have died on the side of the road today. Even if it's the emperor's flesh and blood, it's not that he has no status!
"Wan'er, this is an invitation sent by the emperor here to the palace today, and the invitation says that the emperor is going to have a family banquet today, so he wants the palace to take you there. The two of you will go with the palace today to see the emperor and attend the banquet, so go back to the back and prepare. "Concubine Tou doesn't look at Xia Yuqiu anymore. Looking at the longing in Xia Yuqiu's eyes today, she knew that this woman must have been suppressed for many years and showed all of it today, so she was so curious.
"Father wants to have a family banquet? Wouldn't it be possible for us all to show our abilities in the palace again? After Xia Yuwan finished speaking, she wanted to pull Xia Yuqiu from behind, but Concubine Tou looked at Xia Yuqiu with a vigilant face, this woman was going to leave the winning country after all, and she was going to go with her favorite daughter. If it weren't for the emperor's order having come down, if it weren't for the emperor having made up his mind today, then she would definitely not give up, and she would definitely return all these things to Xia Yuqiu, and take care of Wan'er.
And now, since God has arranged it this way, then she has no choice but to go with the flow. If Xia Yuqiu can be eliminated in the future, there will be one less Wan'er competitor in Qingguo......
In the evening, Win the country Yuqiongtai.
At this time, there are already many people waiting here in Yuqiongtai, and the concubines are dressed very gorgeously, and they don't walk around the harem much on weekdays, because the queen and the concubine are fighting fiercely. Originally, a few concubines who didn't want to die had become cannon fodder under their fire, but the few women in front of them knew that they would keep to themselves, protect their net worth and life, and never say anything wrong, so they were fine.
But now these concubines are thinking of showing their brilliance in this rare family banquet today, as long as the emperor likes it, their future glory and wealth will be settled, in fact, they don't want to stand out like this, but if they want to live well and don't look at other people's eyes, what they have to do is to let themselves live quietly, get brilliance before quiet life, and illuminate the world.
The moonlight is like a bloom in front of him, and the queen and the concubine are delayed in the future. The queen's makeup appeared in the evening family banquet, which opened the eyes of all the concubines, what is called the mother's world, this is the makeup of the mother's world! I saw that her face was ruddy, the corners of her mouth were shining, and there was still color on her eyebrows that had not faded. The silk and satin on her body are even more graceful and luxurious that these women have never seen.
"The queen is really glamorous today, just the outfit on her body is something I can't afford to compare. Besides, the queen was originally a beauty, and at this time, some decoration really responded to the sentence in the painting. A concubine quietly pushed another noble beside her, only to see that the nobleman's eyes were full of envy, but she didn't say a word of praise, just smiled, and said lightly: "Hmph, you are just a person who has never seen the world, the silk on the queen's body, called the five phoenix robes, was made of a thousand gems when she was canonized as the queen.
All of the five phoenixes are sewn with gold thread, and the eyes and claws of the phoenixes are set with precious stones. This kind of workmanship is really to show that I have won a big victory and the country is prosperous. The queen mother is the mother of the world, and she never takes it out to show people, but you don't know such a precious thing when you enter the palace. ”
The queen passed by everyone, only to hear everyone knelt down one after another, and then said in unison: "Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
The queen stood next to the emperor's table, turned around, stretched out her palms, and said: "Qin this, this palace has made you wait for a long time, and I can sit down and rest as long as I wait for the queen to come." ”
The concubines had just thanked the queen for her grace, but they saw Concubine Tou coming from the east gate.
At this time, the concubine did not have the queen's swagger. It seems that because the queen's limelight is too strong, so Concubine Tou is not dressed very gorgeously, even if she has seen it all over her body, there is only such a pearl on her head, how can there be so many treasures?
It's a sketch of today's light makeup, her eyebrows seem to be a splash of oil paint in the painting, faint but beautiful and do not take away the queen's limelight, and the corners of her mouth are spitting pink rouge, not using the crimson used by the queen and various concubines. He was wearing an ordinary garment, with no gold thread or jewels on it, but a plain garment. It's just that there is a very gorgeous peony flower embroidered on it.
People who don't know think that the concubine is unwilling to steal the limelight with everyone today, especially the queen mother. After the last time the noble princess opened the coffin for an autopsy, the concubine Niangniang was a needle-to-needle confrontation with the queen's mother, and she didn't want to fight up and down like this, so naturally everyone knew. But everyone didn't say anything about it because of their face, after all, they were punished, but they didn't really lose their glory.
And now the queen is still the owner of the East Palace, although the emperor has not seen anyone for so long, but the positions of the two have not changed at all. It's a punishment for them. Today, Concubine Tou is wrapped in light makeup, I'm afraid she wants to give all the limelight to the queen, right? Is it true that the concubine has already returned to the queen and is ready to show her good? Everyone's eyes widened, waiting to see the attitude of the queen and the concubine before making a decision.
"Throw the concubine to see the queen's mother, the queen's mother's mother, the queen's mother, Futai An'an." Concubine Tu nodded slightly, squatted halfway, and did not perform such a big etiquette like everyone else. Everyone looked at Concubine Tou's eyes and was slightly stunned, didn't Concubine Tou reconcile with the queen?
The queen originally knew that this woman had fought with her all her life, and she must have no good intentions, but now it looks like this! Everyone thought that Concubine Tou was unwilling to steal the limelight with her today, but they didn't know that Concubine Tou knew that everyone would be dressed up to attend today, but she found another way to dress herself up in blue, obviously wanting to be the butterfly that took the color of the peony!
I saw that Concubine Niangniang had just turned sideways and saw a very charming butterfly on the side of the peony flower. The butterfly has a pair of slender and agile wings, and there are beautiful patterns on the wings. It's just that it has been skillfully decorated by craftsmen. The butterfly is twice as big as the peony flower that blooms so beautifully!
is really a scheming concubine, and she can hide all her schemes, and let those stupid people think that she has no intention of competing for favor. The queen glared at Concubine Tu and gritted her teeth, but she could only be in her heart. Still said to Concubine Throwing with a pleasant face: "My sister is so beautiful today, although she is wrapped in light makeup, she is also very beautiful!" Take my sister's peony flower as an example, my sister's peony flower is really beautiful. Even the butterfly on the top is so beautiful, even more delicate than a peony. ”
The queen's meaning is naturally obvious, that is, even if you are smart, don't play tricks in front of this palace, this palace will know how many catties and taels you have at a glance. Concubine Tou didn't care, got up slowly, and said lukewarmly to the queen beside her, and said unhurriedly: "Thank you for the queen's praise, the queen's mother is called the concubine's sister, it really hurts the palace." This palace has just come out of the cold palace, and it still knows that it is restrained, since the emperor still cares about the love for many years, then the palace can't live up to it, and must repay the emperor's kindness. ”
The queen is very angry! Concubine Tou is obviously warning the queen that she has just been freed from house arrest, don't make a statement, otherwise there will be no good end! As soon as Concubine Tou finished speaking, she heard the eunuch behind her shout: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
When all the concubines heard this, they also quickly turned around, kowtowed to the emperor behind them, and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Haha, all the concubines are flat, I'm already very tired today, it's rare to drink and have fun here with everyone, feel free, everyone enjoy it! It's all kneeling, take a seat! Xia Chuxiong's words seemed casual, but he looked at the clothes of all the concubines in this gap. Although the palace beauties are three thousand, the queen and the concubine are more impressive.
"Emperor Xie!" As soon as the concubines got up, they saw the emperor walking in front of Concubine Toh, holding Concubine Toh's hand in his hand and saying: "Concubine Ai's light makeup wrap today is a special taste, this faint layer of rouge can't cover your beautiful temperament, I am very happy, come and sit down with me!" ”
Xia Chuxiong pulled Concubine Tu from the bottom of the steps to the top, until he pulled Concubine Tu into the seat and looked at it a few times, then he looked at everyone. Li Xi shouted that the banquet began, and he hid in the crowd, it is rare not to serve today, even if this table is placed in the corner, he is also happy, such an honor, he is the only one!
The queen stumbled back to her seat. Although she is indeed a scorching crowd today, she let Concubine Tou, a scheming woman, steal the limelight! If it weren't for the fact that she didn't pay attention to this guy's stubborn nature on weekdays, she really thought that it would be what everyone said, Concubine Tou worshipped the Buddha in the palace!
Staggered, singing and dancing. Her happy appearance made Xia Yuwan in the corner happy, it was the first time she had grown up to participate in this kind of night family banquet, and there was no nasty ghost like Xia Yinhuan, so she was really happy! On weekdays, my father is busy with military and national plans, and he doesn't have the heart to come here to socialize, but today is really rare!
The emperor was on the rise, and the song and dance were still going on, when he heard a small minion behind him running to Xia Yuqiu and Xia Yuwan's side to think, and whispered: "Two masters, the emperor let the two go up!" ”
"Father called us?" Xia Yuwan laughed loudly, quickly took care of her makeup, and went up with the people behind her. Re Xia Yuqiu followed Xia Yuwan's pace closely, she was always a little apprehensive in her heart, didn't the emperor want to let them go out in advance?
