Chapter 797 Toast Chapter 798 Reverse Eye

Gong Mama has been in the palace for many years, and she smelled a little different in Hongluan's questioning: "What does the big flood have to do with Niangniang back then, Niangniang doesn't ask if she doesn't talk about the old slave, but don't ask again." What kind of scheming methods did the concubine and her father have back then, weren't they persecuted to death the same? If it is known that Niangniang is involved in the old things of the past, it will be a hundred pounds for your current situation. And the matter of Luozi and straw weaving has something to do with Prince Ding, and Prince Ding is not terrible. ”

She glanced at Hongluan: "But the straw weaving you asked has something to do with the original prominent martial artist, and the reason why the Empress Wu went to the immortal back then was also a hidden matter in the palace, because the old slave didn't know much about it, but until now Empress Wu is also a taboo in the palace, and she can't be mentioned casually in front of the royal people." However, the prosperity of the martial arts family declined very quickly, and the royal family did not decree, because the Empress Wu was not at fault, and it stands to reason that the martial arts family should have mourning when she died, but the martial arts family wrote a letter to resign after a hundred days. ”

"Compared with the current Shangguan family, the power of the martial arts family at that time should be said to be about the same, but the martial arts family started with military generals, so there are not too many people in the civil service; And it may also be because of the temperament of the martial arts, the martial arts family as the first family in the world and the Shangguan family are by no means the same, Zhang Yang is of course excessive, but he never deceives people and friends are not parties, and he was very praised by the people at that time. It's just that as soon as Queen Wu died, all the people in power in the martial family resigned and returned home, and the royal family did not do much to keep it. ”

"Since then, the Wu family has declined, and the Shangguan family has quickly become the first family in the world because of the absence of the existence of the Wu family, and with the Shangguan Empress after the Empress Wu, until now." Mama Gong frowned slightly: "There is no way to talk about the things back then, especially the Wu clan was suddenly attacked by a strongman a few decades ago, and the old house was razed to the ground by fire overnight, and most of the remaining living people are side branches of the Wu clan, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of the world, no one still remembers the Wu clan now, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

She glanced at Hongluan: "There are also a lot of rumors about the Wu family, especially the resignation of the Wu family and the disaster of annihilation, some people say that Queen Wu was framed by Queen Shangguan and could not confess and hung the beam, and the Wu family also resigned and left the capital because they could not confess; Later, some people naturally associated it with the rise of the Shangguan family. However, these masters, who have no evidence and no suffering, will pass after some discussion. ”

Hongluan looked back at Mama: "I have nothing to do with the Wu family, our family is in a small village in the south, Mama don't need to worry." ”

Mama Gong sighed: "The kind of straw weaving you said is the heirloom of the martial arts, and it has always been passed on to men and daughters-in-law; In the past, when the Wu clan was not noble, they mainly made a living from farming, and they would make some gadgets to supplement the family when they were not working. I haven't seen the heirloom of the Wu clan either, but the grass they use is definitely not the straw woven that Prince Ding brought into the palace, and as for the technique, the old slave doesn't know. ”

Hongluan knew that Mama Gong had become suspicious, she didn't believe that Mama Gong was just such a big deal or that the less people knew, the better: "Oh, that's it." The straw weaving brought into the palace by Prince Ding, all the techniques of our hometown, in several villages near our hometown, many people with surnames can know; However, the rules of passing on daughters and daughters are the same, and the grass used is also unique to several villages in our hometown. ”

Mama Gong smiled: "Niangniang doesn't have to say this to the old slave, whether the straw weaving technique is related to the Wu clan is not something that the old slave can determine; But Prince Ding is indeed difficult for people to see, and Niangniang still has to be careful. She reminded Hongluan to be careful about the king.

Hongluan's face was slightly red and nodded: "I can save it, Mama can rest assured." Watching Mama Gong go out, she leaned to the couch, she closed her eyes and saw her parents, and asked in a low voice in her heart, Daddy, are you human beings?

When she was drowsy in the room, Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian were leaving from Cining Palace, and it was Shangyi, the most favored by the Empress Dowager's side, who sent them out.

Snow, it's falling harder.

The next two days were very calm, but the snow never stopped. Even so, the palace is also dotted with the New Year's Festival, some things have been prepared for a long time, and they will not be done in front of the nobles, and some things will of course disturb the nobles in the palace to some extent, such as the lanterns.

Red lanterns are hung high all over the palace, and the lanterns are tied with five-colored silk between the lamps, and in the snow, it is more festive than the original New Year's Festival. And the flowers and trees in the imperial garden are also hung with colorful silk and colorful flowers, and the tall flowers and trees are also hung with smaller palace lanterns - falling into the eyes of Hongluan, as if the New Year has suddenly arrived in front of you.

Hongluan watched Xiao Shunzi and others busy in Qinglu Palace, if it weren't for the conventions in the palace, she really didn't want to do this: after the New Year, she would miss her father and mother very much.

The night of the Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived, and the emperor feasted hundreds of officials and ministers in the palace, and the foreign women of course held a banquet with the concubines in the palace in the harem, which was also joyful. Even if there is a holiday, people at this time will greet each other and say auspicious words, just to have a good time.

Hongluan felt even more uncomfortable because of the excitement in front of him, and he sat lazily and didn't want to move, which was naturally very unpleasant; But today, the Empress Dowager doesn't know if it's because of happiness or other reasons, even if Hongluan only toasted three glasses of wine, she didn't embarrass her.

Mrs. Shangguan was far away from Hongluan, and she didn't even look at her, but it also allowed Hongluan to be clean, and she poured herself a drink and thought about her thoughts; Just when Hongluan was half drunk, Concubine Xian walked up to her with wine and said with a smile: "Sister, my sister just called you a few times and wanted to toast you with a glass of wine, but my sister didn't hear that my sister had to come to toast in person, and my sister wants to give my sister this face." ”

Hongluan raised his head: "I eat more wine and my head is a little dizzy, I didn't hear my sister call me, I will punish myself with a cup to make amends to my sister first." She poured her wine and drank it. The bitter taste of the wine was like tears, rolling through her heart and causing her to burst into two tears.

Concubine Xian frowned slightly when she saw it: "Sister is just joking, there is no intention to ask about sin, sister, why bother?" It's when I'm happy, my sister is still ......"

Hongluan struggled to stand up and raised the cup in his hand: "Sister, sister toasts you." "She really wanted to get drunk, to forget the flood, to forget the palace, to go back to her old little village, to go back to her home and lean on her parents' side to be a spoiled little daughter.

Concubine Xian didn't raise her glass: "What does my sister mean by this, is it really angry with my sister?" ”

Chapter 798 - Reverse Eye

Concubine Hui sat on the top of Hongluan, and when she noticed that something was wrong between Concubine Xian and Hongluan, she immediately got up and walked over and chuckled: "Are you talking about not calling me a word when you eat wine?" Speaking of which, the three of us sisters really deserve to drink a glass of wine, and He Chun is also of the same heart. The last few words she said softly were nothing more than a reminder to Hongluan and Concubine Xian that the two of them were their own people and should not be upset about a glass of wine.

Hongluan squinted at Concubine Xian: "My sister doesn't dare, my sister doesn't, my sister just wants to have a reason for my sister to respect my sister, so I want to give Sister Xian a cup, but Sister Xian doesn't seem to want to give her sister this face." After she finished speaking, she drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp: "Sister, I'll do it first as a respect." ”

Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Hui angrily: "I saw that she was eating and drinking alone, for fear that she would be drunk and do something again, so I came to remind her, of course what she said was just a joke, but I didn't expect people to not appreciate it, and they came to blame me" She angrily drank all the wine in the cup and said to Hongluan: "Is this okay?" This is my sister to apologize to my sister, there is a place where I can't live with my sister, and I ask my sister to raise her noble hand. ”

Hongluan shook his head and stood a little unsteadily, but he still took the wine jug and filled it for Concubine Xian, and then filled it for himself, and raised his wine glass: "Let's drink three more glasses." "She really just wanted to get drunk, she was alone since her parents left, she was a small child at that time, how many years did she spend the holidays alone in starvation and cold? Today is the first time since her parents passed away that she has lived such a lively New Year, without cold and hunger.

But she was not happy, she would rather starve, she would rather be frozen half to death, she just wanted to be able to meet her parents today. For many years, she was half-asleep and half-awake looking forward to her parents not dead, finally finding her, and their family finally being together again.

Now this lively New Year has made her very sober, and she knows that her parents will never return to her. There can be no tears in the palace, but she really wants to cry tonight, and she can't cry when she's awake, so she cries when she's drunk: seeing off her parents, even if it's a long time late.

Concubine Xian looked at Hongluan's eyes: "My sister is really different from the past, three cups?" Okay, sister, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today" She has always been an introverted person, if it weren't for Hongluan's repeated teasing in front of everyone, she really wouldn't have spoken and acted like this.

She said that she picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then poured her own wine and drank two glasses in a row before looking at Hongluan: "Sister is satisfied, right?" There are many words without mistakes, and my sister will return to her seat. Her fingers were pinched on the glass, their tips slightly white.

Concubine Hui was so anxious that she couldn't persuade this or that, and when she saw Concubine Xian's appearance, she had to say, "Sister Concubine Chun, what's wrong with you tonight?" There are unhappy words to say, no matter what, the three of us sisters have been holding hands until today, wouldn't you hurt your sisters' hearts like this. ”

Hongluan shook her head: "I didn't, Sister Xian walked slowly, I didn't dare to force my sister to stay." Even if she was half-drunk, she could hear the anger in Concubine Xian's words and the dissatisfaction in Concubine Hui's words, and her heart became even more unhappy, and her words were not so beautiful.

Concubine Xian stared at Hongluan and nodded: "Okay, good." She looked at the concubines and foreign women on the left and right, and finally pushed the cup in her hand in front of Hongluan: "Sister doesn't dare to disturb the pure concubine's sister Yaxing, retire." She turned around and left, and even Concubine Hui ignored her.

But as soon as she turned around and didn't take two steps, she heard the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground and shattering behind her, and she turned around again to suppress her anger and stare at Hongluan: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Hongluan's body shook a few times: "I just want to send my sister." ”

"No need, no need, don't dare to drive" Concubine Xian's face turned red with anger, in front of the wife of the Manchu Dynasty, Hongluan actually smashed her cup and undoubtedly slapped her in the face: "Your pure concubine Niangniang is the current first-class celebrity in the palace, the emperor favors you alone, of course I don't put it in your eyes." It's because I can't do it, and I apologize to you for offending the pure concubine, how about you raise your noble hand a lot and let me go? "She's really angry.

Concubine Rou got up and took Concubine Xian's hand: "Let's go, who told you to go to Gaopan's house?" Walked back to her seat, sat down and looked at Hongluan and said, "Concubine Chun Niangniang is a smart person, and she must know how to leave three points of leeway for others in everything." ”

The queen smiled when she saw it, she didn't expect such a good show in this dull New Year's banquet: "Sister Xian, it's not the palace that said you, since you know that the harem of the pure concubine is the queen, you still dare to be rude to her, alas." Come on, give wine. Concubine Xian, don't be angry, accompany the palace for a drink, come, everyone celebrates the Spring Festival together. ”

Hongluan shook and pushed Liu Er's hand away: "Queen, Concubine Xian, are you dissatisfied with the toast I just made, or are you dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive favor of me?" She was really drunk, and she asked sharply, but she shouldn't have said it.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "Come, accompany the mourning family to have a glass of wine to celebrate the spring." Although she said this, there was a touch of joy in the depths of her eyes, which showed that she was also happy to watch the play now.

Hongluan looked at Concubine Xian: "I haven't said good things for you in front of the emperor, and Concubine Hui has said good things, and the queen mother, how many times have I persuaded the emperor to go to Kunning Palace to ...... you?"

"Shut up" The queen and Concubine Xian opened their mouths and drank in unison, and Concubine Hui also frowned and looked at Hongluan with great dissatisfaction.

It is a good thing for Hongluan to speak well for the palace concubine in front of the emperor, but such things can only be said by them in private, and cannot be made public: how do you let everyone think of the queen, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Hui? Without her pure concubine, would the three of them be beaten into the cold palace or would they not be able to enter the emperor's eyes at all? It's a question of a person's face.

The Empress Dowager put down her wine glass: "What kind of system" After a thin reprimand, she sighed: "How about a good festival, how about you let the mourning family have a cup of wine?" Now no one should speak, and they will all sit down and eat wine for the mourning family. ”

Hongluan looked at the Empress Dowager and sat down with a shake: "The concubine didn't lie......"

Concubine Xian's face turned blue and gave a salute to the Empress Dowager and the Empress: "The concubine is a little dizzy because of her drunkenness, and she accidentally got some wine on her dress, and the concubine asked her to go back and change her clothes." "She just couldn't sit down anymore.

The queen didn't want to agree, and the queen mother didn't stop her, Concubine Xian glared at Hongluan a few times and took people away angrily, obviously hating Hongluan for making her so ugly today.

Hongluan didn't care about continuing to eat and drink, and Concubine Hui looked at Hongluan's brows furrowed, she really didn't know where the pure concubine who was cautious and planned everything before moving had gone.
