Approaching the banquet of the Queen Mother, the Yongshou Palace is also busy.

Baoqin took a few new clothes made by Shangyiku for Concubine Zhang Xian, and asked Concubine Zhang Xian while letting the palace people hold them: "Niangniang, I ordered Shangyiku to make the clothes and send them, which one do you wear?" ”

Concubine Zhang Xian glanced at the clothes, and her eyes showed satisfaction, "This Shangyiku is very sharp, and it was sent so quickly." ”

Baoqin lowered her eyes, and there were only Han Guifei and the queen in this harem above her own mother. Han Guifei is a man, she doesn't like red clothes and loves arms, so naturally her mind is not on this.

The queen has always admired thrift in front of everyone, so how could she add some clothes because of a banquet.

Even though Yingmei has been in the limelight recently, she is still a beauty after all, and she has no family background, so Shangyiku naturally focuses on her own mother first.

Although she knew this truth in her heart, she still complimented her face: "What Niangniang ordered, they naturally dare not slack off, after all, Niangniang is the person on the tip of everyone's hearts." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian chuckled at her compliments. Even though I know that there is a lot of hypocrisy in these words, it is still very pleasant. "It's still sweet in your mouth!"

Bao Qin smiled respectfully, she took a moon-blue smoke gauze loose flower dress in the hands of the palace people: "Niangniang's moon blue color is more white-skinned, bright and moving, plus this is a new pattern studied by Shangyiku, it will definitely make Niangniang dazzling at this banquet!" ”

Concubine Zhang Xian listened to her words, raised her head lazily, and looked at the dress in her hand. After looking at it for a while, he said in a lazy voice: "Then this one." ”

"Yes." Baoqin was overjoyed in her heart, and while instructing the palace people to put away the dress, she gave the waiter at the entrance of the palace a look.

Lai Shun suddenly understood in his heart, he glanced at the dress in Baoqin's hand, turned around and ran out of the hall quickly.

Baoqin was just about to instruct the palace people to take away all the dresses, when Concubine Zhang Xian suddenly pointed to a Yanluo Zizi Wangxian skirt and said, "It's not bad to look at this one." ”

Baoqin was stunned, took the dress from the palace man's hand, and ordered the person to stand aside with the previous one. She asked, "Do you want to wear this?" ”

Concubine Zhang Xian's gaze swept back and forth between the two, and after half a sound, she slowly spoke: "It's better to look at this one, just wear this one." ”

Baoqin looked outside the hall, and Laishun's figure was long gone. She forced out a smile and instructed Gong Ren: "Put this one away, and put the rest away." ”

The queen mother's banquet came as scheduled in everyone's expectation, and the harem concubines all learned through the grapevine that Concubine Zhang Xian would wear a smoky purple dress tonight, so everyone avoided all the colors that were bordered by purple.

Hua Qingrao was slowly helped by the snow kite to the main hall, and the hall was like a hundred gardens at this time. She glanced at the hall, and there were all pink, blue, and green, except for a touch of purple.

She lowered her head and chuckled, it seemed that everyone was afraid to avoid Concubine Zhang Xian.

Baoqin carefully helped Hua Qingrao to her position, the position of the seat was arranged according to the position of the harem, and her position belonged to the back.

According to the position, the position next to her should be Hui Jieyu's. But at this time, Hui Jieyu is afraid that she has not yet arrived, and the position is empty.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall: "Queen Mother, Virtuous Concubine Mother has arrived!" ”

The two of them appeared at the same time, apparently to everyone's surprise, and everyone's eyes converged on the door of the main hall. After a while, two bright reds entered everyone's eyes.

The queen was dressed in a red peony phoenix pattern palace dress, with only a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and a pair of gold-inlaid Dongzhu earrings swaying left and right with her steps. Although she is dressed simply, she shows everyone from head to toe that she is the most noble woman in this harem and the only queen of Daliang.

And Concubine Zhang Xian did not wear the Yanluo purple Wangxian skirt spread by the grapevine, she was wearing a pomegranate red wisp of gold auspicious cloud pattern flower dress, three thousand green silk obliquely rolled up a tassel bun, and a gilt flower play bead step swayed and inserted in the bun.

Compared with the queen's dress, Concubine Zhang Xian is much brighter and more flamboyant. The dazzling garnet red seems to prove that in this harem, only her status can be compared with the queen, and even shoulder to shoulder.

The queen and Concubine Zhang Xian walked to their respective positions with a smile in the limelight, and there was only one Han Guifei between the two.

After Concubine Zhang Xian sat down, her eyes showed a hint of arrogance, she liked this kind of high-profile feeling very much. She stroked her hair with her bare hands, the sleeves of her shirt slid down the soft skin, and the red gold pomegranate bracelet exposed on her wrist was particularly dazzling.

All the concubines stared at the red on Concubine Zhang Xian's body, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Those concubines dressed in peach and pink had even more ugly faces.

Outside the hall, there was another shout: "Everyone, the Queen Mother, Hui Jieyu has arrived!" When they heard this, they all stood up and greeted the holy car.

"The concubine (Weichen) see everyone, the queen mother."

Hua Qingrao also stood up, she glanced at the still empty seat beside her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The Queen Mother was accompanied by Zhao Xuan on the one hand, and Hui Jieyu walked in with a radiant support. She scanned the entire hall with an impeccable smile on her face.

Hua Qingrao raised her head and peeked at the famous Empress Dowager Zhao, dressed in a bright yellow satin palace robe, embroidered with a lifelike phoenix on the robe, with a delicate outline outlined by thin silver threads, and the eyes of the phoenix seemed to be as vivid as life.

The pair of Qilian Mountain white jade bats on her earlobes were hung upside down with beads, and with the swing of her steps, the white neck became more and more slender and elegant.

Time seems to have deliberately preserved her beauty, and there seems to be no sign of aging on her face, which is still gorgeous and beautiful.

Hui Jieyu helped the Queen Mother to sit down, and just wanted to turn around and return to her position, she was pulled by the Queen Mother. She looked back at the Queen Mother and glanced at the seat next to her, and surprise flashed in her eyes.

She hesitantly turned her head to look at Zhao Xuan, who also smiled at her and bowed, and then she sat down with peace of mind.

Zhao Xuan turned his head and instructed Ding Zhen beside him. Ding Zhen immediately said in a loud voice: "The banquet begins!" ”

At the sound of the order, the court musicians who had been prepared for a long time plucked the strings, and the dancers wore light-colored gauze skirts and floated in to the cheerful melody.

With their bare white feet, they gave birth to lotuses step by step on the main hall, and twisted their graceful bodies with the music. Sometimes he raised his wrist and lowered his eyebrows, sometimes he lightly Shu Yun's hand, and he was extremely beautiful with a smile.

Zhao Yu looked directly at Hua Qingrao, who was sitting behind, through the graceful posture of the dancing girl. Today, she wore a lotus blue inlaid thousand water skirt, and a white jade brocade belt tied the slender waist that was unbearable.

She has a little powder on her face, her bright eyes are good, and she looks forward to the glass, and there is a particularly fresh and refined beauty in the heavy makeup.

Just as he could see his god, Hua Qing raised his head suddenly, and the eyes of the two collided unexpectedly. Instead of dodging, he raised his glass and raised it towards her.

Hua Qing's pretty face flushed, and she scolded him angrily in her heart for his bold behavior. After looking around and seeing that everyone hadn't noticed, he was slightly relieved.
