Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.
Hang wormwood, calamus on the palace gate...... Drinking rice wine, eating green dumplings, the palace is lively.
This is the first Dragon Boat Festival after Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, and the ladies in the palace have changed their tricks to spend this Dragon Boat Festival.
As usual, the palace will reward the ministers with colorful silk threads and wormwood.
The queen got up early in the morning, and in response to the solar term, Ruixiang tied a colorful longevity wisp to her arm, and put on the five poisons to ward off evil spirits.
"Isn't the emperor in the Qianqing Palace?" She asked about the coral that had been standing aside without speaking, waiting for her to freshen up after she came in.
Two days ago, the emperor said that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he would work with the queen to reward the ministers with colorful silk threads and wormwood for the festival, so before dawn, she asked Coral to go to the Qianqing Palace to see when the emperor would get up, so as not to delay the business.
The look on Coral that came in had already made her understand everything, but she still asked unwillingly.
"The emperor rested in Chengqian Palace last night and has already gotten up." Sango's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"Since the emperor got up, why did you come in and didn't speak, and you still looked like this?"
Sango's face was unhappy, "The emperor said that he would reward the ministers today, and he would also go with Guo Guifei." โ
The queen closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them, her expression was as usual, and she was not unhappy about this matter, "I know, you go and prepare." Since it is the emperor's intention, he happily responds, don't let people think that the people of our Kunning Palace still need to compete for these favors. Liuli, change clothes for the main palace. โ
In Kunning Palace, everything was prepared in an orderly manner, as if there was no difference between this day and peace.
After rewarding the ministers in the main hall, Guo Guifei looked at Emperor Hong Xi and smiled, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the tea from the concubines was delicious yesterday?" It's better to have lunch today, go to the concubine to use it, and the concubine will make a pot for you after the meal. โ
looked at the queen a little provocatively and said: "Sister doesn't know, the tea that the concubine got this year is even better than forgetting worries, Qin Sishan got it from her sister, saying that there is only that little bit this year, and it is all given to the concubine." โ
Qi Si Cuisine has been out of the palace to marry a few years ago, it is said that the marriage is the person who gave her tea back then, it is also a good story, although her cousin Qin Sishan does not have her good taste, but she is kind to welcome, quite the favor of Guo Guifei, so after Emperor Hong Xi ascended the throne, he went to the Shangshi Bureau to serve as a chef.
The tea that Qin Sishan got this year was obtained from Qi Si Cuisine, because this tea is rare, and it has not been successfully concocted for many years, so even the queen has not drunk it in these years.
The queen was not in a hurry, and smiled indifferently, "So, congratulations to my sister for having a good mouth." โ
"That tea tastes good, so let's go and taste it with the queen." Emperor Hong Xi seemed to sense that there was some unhappiness between his concubines, in the middle and in the mud.
"The emperor and Sister Guo taste it slowly, this is the Dragon Boat Festival, many women are going to enter the palace to congratulate, and the concubines have to greet them, so I won't bother Sister Guo."
The emperor pondered for a moment, "What the queen said is reasonable, those women are in charge of the inner house, so that my courtiers can do their best, I should also go and meet them, Danyi, you go back first, and I will go over later." โ
Guo Guifei smiled with a smile, "The emperor can't lose his trust in his concubines, the concubines will invite the sisters in the palace to Chengqian Palace to wait for the emperor, don't let them wait in a hurry." โ
The queen didn't seem to see Guo Guifei's foxy appearance, and stood aside waiting for the emperor.
She's figured it out.
Every time, as long as she punished Guo Guifei according to the palace rules, afterwards, Guo Guifei could get a lot of compensation, and then, the limelight became even stronger. So she simply ignored it, let Guo Guifei publicize, she didn't believe it, as she Guo Danyi grew old, she could always get such favor from the emperor, and when she was old, she would have her bitter fruits to eat.
As long as you have no fault, you can keep the back position, the position of the prince of Zhan'er, and the rest, you don't have to fight for a while.
The emperor was going to Chengqian Palace, and the concubines in the harem were eager to go, so they got the invitation of Guo Guifei, except for Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Zhang Jing, Concubine Zhao Nian, and a few other people who shirked something, and several young concubines, like Tan Zhaorong, Wang Zhaorong, and Huang Jieyu, all arrived.
The aroma of tea in the Chengqian Palace was overflowing, Wang Zhaorong pursed his lips and smiled, and personally refilled the tea for Guo Guifei, "The emperor is really fond of the concubine, I only came to your palace yesterday to rest, and I have to come over to eat together at noon today. โ
Guo Guifei laughed loudly, no longer the prudence of being a good yuan and a good woman in the East Palace, replacing the pure temperament of the white lotus in the past, it is a group of peonies as rich and gorgeous, "This palace should speak for you, but the emperor likes to go to whichever palace, and this palace can't control it." โ
Huang Jieyu laughed dryly, "Where is the concubine Niangniang, in this palace, except for the queen mother, she is the mother with the highest position, but when it comes to pampering, the queen mother is not as good as you, if you mention it to the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree." She paused, "The emperor, not according to the mother's invitation, in this palace, a few of us, only know the concubine, not the queen." โ
Listening to Huang Jieyu's confession, Guo Guifei was full of pride, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's all your own sisters, you don't have to be so polite, the queen is the master of the middle palace, just talk about it here in the palace, don't chew your tongue outside, otherwise the queen will take the wrong place, even the palace won't be able to protect you." โ
The palace people brought up the tea, Guo Guifei took a few sips of tea, and continued to gossip with Wang Zhaorong, Tan Zhaorong smiled, "The grace of the concubine is already heavy, and if you get such a good tea, the emperor will not treat you like a jewel, and when he is in charge of the phoenix seal in the future, there are a few concubines, and the concubine Niangniang should take it to heart, don't just care about your own happiness." โ
Tan Zhaorong held that he had served the king at the same night with Guo Guifei, and his feelings were different from others, so what he said was straightforward and explicit.
Guo Guifei took a sip of tea with a deep groan, and said lightly: "The queen's grace is heavy, and it is the Spring and Autumn Period, she is generous, and she is in charge of the middle palace, which is the blessing of all the sisters in our harem, why did Tan Zhaorong say this?" Are you dissatisfied with the queen? Hongu didn't understand it. โ
Tan Zhaorong hurriedly said: "The concubine naturally has no such intention. โ
Wang Jieyu on the side covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Sister Tan Zhaorong means, I just think that the queen mother is old after all, and it is detrimental to her body to work day and night, if the concubine is in charge of the phoenix seal to manage the six palaces, first, she can share the worries of the queen, second, it is also where the emperor's sacred heart is, and third, the concubines and others follow you, and the tide is rising, so I say this." โ
Tan Zhaorong hurriedly said: "Yes, Wang Jieyu's words are exactly what the concubine thinks, you concubine, you have to conform to the will of the people." โ
Guo Guifei gently bumped the lid of the cup on the teacup, "Sisters, be careful!" The emperor's thoughts, where can we guess, don't speculate. Having said that, this palace is quite popular with the emperor, according to the palace rules, it is also fortunate that it is not three, and in addition to being favored, I want to persuade the emperor to go to you, a few young concubines, all of them are already old and decrepit, whether your position can go to the next level, you have to work hard. Now the emperor is here, drinking this tea, it must be a miracle, you drink this tea, your body is delicate and soft, just complement each other. Last night, the waiters in the palace were tired, and today, you should make good use of the snacks and don't let down the good tea in the palace. โ
Her voice was so quiet that only a few of the concubines in front of her heard it.
Wang Zhaorong was slightly blessed, pursed his lips and smiled: "In this way, the concubines will go to make up, and when the emperor comes, they will wait." โ
Guo Guifei named her, "Wang Zhaorong, Tan Zhaorong, Huang Jieyu, Wang Jieyu, the four of you will stay today, wait for the emperor to eat for a while, and the others will all disperse." โ
The famous joy and joy, the unnamed secret chagrin, thinking that next time I have to be like a few of them, and I will be a good concubine.
Guo Guifei summoned the palace maids to take Wang Zhaorong and them to the side hall to prepare, revealing some sleepiness.
Those who have vision naturally hurriedly leave, and everyone got up one after another.
Guo Guifei swept them around with cold eyes, "After going out, what you heard here in this palace, what you should say and what you shouldn't say is tightly closed, if you let this palace hear a little bit, you can know the means of this palace." โ
The concubines were silent, and they confessed their loyalty.
After they dispersed, Cai Qing on the side had a worried face: "They are holding the master one by one, but it is just for the emperor, why does the master have to think about them everywhere, even the emperor has to give it to them when he comes today?" โ
Cai Qing is Guo Guifei's confidant and palace maid.
When Guo Danyi married Emperor Hongxi, she was still the crown prince Liangyuan, and she saw Cai Qing who was working in the princess's palace, which was quite suitable for her eyes.
Because of her delicate eyebrows, Cai Qing was very jealous of the red man Yu Mama in front of the crown princess, and every time she sent heavy work and dirty work to her, even in winter, her hands were covered with chilblains, and she couldn't do less, Guo Danyi saw that she was bullied pitifully, and couldn't bear it, so she reprimanded Mama Yu heavily, and also gave the ointment to Cai Qing to smear, and then simply asked the princess to ask her to be by her side, Cai Qing was grateful, and she was loyal to her as a cow and a horse all these years.
Guo Guifei glanced at Cai Qing, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes, "Who will use whom, I can't say, why, are you still afraid that your master will be used by a few of them?" Just a few of them, can they also use the palace? If this palace didn't look at how beautiful they were, young and young, and some use, do you think this palace would perfunctory them? โ
Cai Qing laughed out loud, "Yes, it's the slave who is confused." What kind of talent is the concubine, can you still let them play with it? Niangniang is like this, and there is a mother's truth in it. After a pause, he said, "Niangniang's current favor, no one in the palace is comparable for a while, attracting envy and jealousy, and finding some people to divide people's attention to Niangniang is indeed a good strategy." โ
