Act 94 A Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
Remember in a second
In a blink of an eye, it has come to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Queen Mother looks a little sad and sad because of this festival, and her already thin face looks even cooler.
"Queen Mother, let's be happier today, after all, the emperor deliberately arranged it for the mother." Father-in-law Xin An whispered on the side, and Yuxuanxun said with relief after hearing this, "What my father-in-law said is that the emperor also hopes that the queen mother can take this opportunity to feel better." ”
Everywhere I went, red lanterns were hung, rendering the festive atmosphere very festive, and I saw three ladies waiting there from a distance.
The Queen Mother patted Yuxuanxun's hand with relief and smiled lightly, "Only when Xiao Yu'er is here, the mourning family can be comfortable." ”
"The concubine has seen the queen mother." The three princesses led by Concubine Xin respectfully greeted her, and they were all full of hostility towards Yuxuanxun on her side.
The Queen Mother said perfunctorily, "Red tape is all free today." He smiled and said to Yuxuanxun, "Xiao Yu'er come over and sit next to the mourning family." ”
Yu Xuanxun couldn't sense the hostility from them, and hurriedly replied solemnly, "Xiao Yu'er is just a slave, how dare she be presumptuous, just serve on the side." ”
"Queen Mother, although the jade girl was invited by you, but the emperor's attitude towards her is well known, and on this festive season, don't make the emperor unhappy for a little palace maid." Concubine Xin sat down next to the Queen Mother.
Sheng Cairen saw that Concubine Xin had already spoken, and hurriedly agreed, "What Sister Concubine Xin said is that a palace maid who was abandoned by the emperor appeared here, wouldn't it make the emperor's heart blocked?" ”
"Who's blocking me?" With hearty laughter, the emperor appeared without warning with a brisk pace, which shows that she is in a good mood today, "The queen mother's health has improved recently, and I am busy with government affairs and can't ask for peace, so let them accompany you tonight." ”
The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said to herself, "The mourning family is old, and I can't figure out the emperor's preferences anymore, but I was accompanied by a girl I like a lot, but I didn't expect to collide with the emperor." ”
The emperor followed the Queen Mother's words and looked at Yu Xuanxun beside him, glanced at each other hurriedly, and said lightly, "The Queen Mother likes it, who is so unruly that she dares to say that the Queen Mother is not?" ”
"The ladies do this because they don't want to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet." Yu Xuan looked for a light and heavy return, and took it from the palace maid who served the food and put it in front of the queen mother, "I heard that the father-in-law of Xin'an said that the queen mother can't eat anything these days, so you might as well try this appetizer to ensure that your appetite is great." ”
Concubine Xin couldn't help but sneer at the plate of dried shrimp and winter melon, "How noble is the identity of the Queen Mother, to take such rough food, what is Yuxuan's intention to find you." ”
The Queen Mother didn't take her words to heart, and took a small piece of winter melon into her mouth without taking care of herself. It may be that you are accustomed to the luxurious vegetarian dishes made in the imperial dining room, and occasionally taste the light side dishes to feel particularly refreshing, and your appetite is greatly increased.
Yu Xuanxun saw that the Queen Mother had a satisfied smile on her face and was not in a hurry to put down the chopsticks, so she boldly spoke, "If the Queen Mother likes it, she will eat more, and the slave maid has prepared more dishes today." In fact, the festival is not about how luxurious the dishes are or how rich the atmosphere is, but the people who accompany you are important. ”
His eyes involuntarily turned to the emperor, but he was decisively ignored, and Yun Meiren, who had never been very accommodating, rarely seconded, "This is a bit reasonable, the emperor began to order people to prepare for tonight's banquet earlier, in order to spend more time with the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled lightly, her eyes full of comfort, "The emperor's heart is clear to the mourning family, but ......" said the expression dimmed a little, "If the emperor is willing to agree to what the mourning family will say to you that day, it will be the greatest comfort to the mourning family." ”
"The Queen Mother tastes this." The emperor chose to ignore this topic, took the initiative to put the dish in the queen mother's bowl, and then quietly drank and ate.
The atmosphere became a little condensed for a while, Sheng Cairen took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and proposed with great interest, "The emperor has recently advocated frugality, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has also eliminated all kinds of performances. ”
Concubine Xin also said as if she was watching a good show, "I have seen the jade girl's kung fu before, and her heroic posture is amazing, but I don't know how this dance skill is, you might as well take this opportunity to open our eyes." ”
"Sisters, my sister is starting to look forward to it." Yun Meiren also joined in the fun.
Yuxuan didn't twist when he looked down, and responded happily, "Thanks to the love of the mothers, the slave and maid are respectful and obedient, then it will be ugly." ”
In the past, when I was with my sister, I learned some dance steps from her, although it was not as beautiful as her dancing, but I was always able to do it. So he danced slowly in everyone's expectation, but after all, he hadn't skipped it for a long time, and he was a little stiff at the beginning, and he was inevitably ridiculed by the girls.
Receiving the encouraging eyes of the Queen Mother, Yuxuanxun settled down and gradually got better, from the original rustiness to skill, and his movements were also smoothed out in his gestures.
I remember that my sister once said that if you meet someone you like in the future, you can dance to him, and now being able to dance this dance in front of the emperor can be regarded as fulfilling one of my sister's wishes.
The regret caused in this life, I hope that the next life can continue the previous edge.
After the dance, he was ready to take a step, but he didn't know when there were many more beads under his feet, and the soles of his feet were slippery and he couldn't stand steadily, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and just when he was about to land, the emperor suddenly got up and pulled her into his arms.
Yu Xuanxun, who was reluctant to withdraw, looked at the emperor directly, and said with a smile, "Thank you to the emperor for coming to the rescue." ”
"I just don't want you to lose your interest." As soon as she withdrew her hand, she pushed her aside, even if she stumbled a few steps and almost hit the pillar, but her heart was full of joy.
"Xiao Yuer's dancing is good, and it can be regarded as a good start." The Queen Mother proposed with a smile, "I think Concubine Xin, you are also versatile, so it is better to take this opportunity to perform in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can see your talents." ”
The emperor picked up a small glass of wine and put it in his mouth, "It's okay, I'm busy with government affairs and neglect you, so I'll take a good look at your skills tonight." ”
"The concubine will not disappoint the emperor." Sheng Cairen couldn't wait to volunteer, and as he spoke, he got up and took a handful of Xiao from the hand of the personal palace maid and put it to his mouth and played it.
This talent made Yu Xuanxun a little surprised, I have known each other for a long time but I never knew that she would do this, it seems that Sheng Cairen has deliberately concealed it from the beginning.
Yun Meiren suggested to Concubine Xin, who was eating by herself, "My sister heard that my sister is good at the piano, why don't you play a song with Sheng Cairen?" ”
Concubine Xin didn't want to agree in her heart, but she didn't dare to refuse directly in front of the emperor and the queen mother, so she could only reluctantly agree, "This proposal is not bad, Ning'er will take the qin." ”
After a while, Concubine Xin also sat next to Sheng Cairen with the piano in her hand and played. The Queen Mother has never been very interested in this, so she shows a lack of interest.
Yuxuan found that his special pastry had been delivered, so he took it from the palace maid and sent it to the emperor, "Please enjoy it." ”
The emperor frowned slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked at something with a strange shape in front of him, "What is this?" ”
"It's pear blossom cake." Yu Xuanxun actively began to introduce, "Although the appearance is not very beautiful, the slave has tried it herself, and the taste is still good." ”
Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to make a move, Yu Xuanxun continued to explain, "The slave knows the position of the white pear girl in the emperor's heart, and I am afraid that there will be no one to replace her in this life." Previously, the slave maid made a mistake for a while, but this time she specially made pear blossom cake to make amends to the emperor. ”
"Why, figured it out." The emperor still refused to do anything.
Yuxuanxun paused, nodded and said, "The slave maid has already figured it out, the white pear girl can make the emperor so obsessed, she is a strange woman." At best, a slave is just a servant girl who does not understand the world and does not understand the rules, and she cannot be compared with it. ”
"Don't think that if you're so self-deprecating, I'll be impressed with you." The emperor poured wine into the cup again.
Yuxuanxun smiled lightly, "The slave maid just said what she thought in her heart, not to strive for the emperor's approval." Seeing that the emperor drank it all again, Yu Xuanxun picked up the wine glass and prepared to refill the wine, "The emperor must be missing the white pear girl, but it is better to drink less wine if it hurts his body." ”
The wine that was just about to be put into his mouth paused and put it back, stared at Yuxuan for a while, and then picked up the pastry and tasted it, and the taste was probably only known to the emperor himself.
"How it tastes, the mourning family will also taste it." Yuxuan Xun picked up a piece and sent it to the Queen Mother.
At this time, Concubine Xin and Sheng Cairen had finished playing, and sat back with a displeased face. When Yun Meiren got up, the palace maid had already prepared the four treasures of the study.
"Concubines don't know how to sing and dance, it's better to write a calligraphy and painting."
The emperor didn't pay attention to it, only buried his head in eating pear blossom cake, while Yu Xuanxun watched silently from the side. After a long time, Yun Mei spoke, "The concubine also asked the emperor to take a look." ”
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
The emperor didn't say anything for the second half of the day, and finally dismissed everyone at the banquet on the grounds of sending the queen mother back to rest earlier, but left Yuxuanxun alone.
"Pear blossom cake is good, but I won't canonize you because of it."
The emperor said seriously, but Yu Xuanxun smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, the slave doesn't have extravagant hopes." ”
"And what are you trying to do?" Slowly approaching, he suddenly pressed her against the pillar, "Do you want to be a maid?" ”
Yuxuan raised his chin and played with the taste, "Even if the emperor agrees, the slave and maid will not dare, the slave and maid just want to see the emperor happy." ”
"That's it?" The emperor still had a trace of doubt.
Yu Xuanxun's face was suddenly smeared with a faint layer of loss, "The slave and maid do not expect the emperor to be able to fulfill the promise, the slave and maid just hope that the emperor will let go of the past and not let himself live so depressed." ”
"I have prepared a big gift for you, go back to Naruhito Palace and take it for yourself." The emperor pulled away and turned around, leaving straight away, leaving Yuxuan to stand in place and look at his back in a daze.
