Chapter 232: Change (Part II)

Huizhu looked at the bright young beauty in the mirror, and stroked her red and creamy pink cheeks with some uncertainty, and was slightly stunned, it turned out that she could be so bright and shining, the dark starry eyes were shining, the dazzling look was full of confidence, and the smart demeanor was full of atmosphere, and Yongrong and luxurious made her unable to take her eyes off.

Su Xin, who was waiting on the side, Xiaojuan and the other palace people looked at Huizhu who seemed to have changed people, and they were also surprised, but they didn't expect that Huizhu, whose facial features were only delicate, was so radiant and eye-catching with her gorgeous makeup.

Everyone was looking at it in admiration, and suddenly heard a different greeting from outside, and when they heard it carefully, they knew that Hongli was coming, and the palace people closest to the door were busy opening the curtain and welcoming into the house.

Originally, Huizhu was reluctant to sit on this Zhai Yu, which attracted everyone's attention, but the palace banquet was attended, only the three Zhai Yu sedan chairs in the Forbidden City were sufficient, belonging to the emperor and queen, and the three were attached.

There are few words on the road, Hongli regained his old appearance and waited for Zhai Yu to go, the young Baolian got the words of advice, and also sat beside Huizhu like a princess, but occasionally curious, touched a few times the embroidered Zhai Ming yellow satin on the sitting surface, and then glanced at a few glances, crossbars, shoulder rods, eaves, Jin Zhai birds on the four pillars, and the little face was full of joy.

At this time, but when the sun was setting, the palace banquet had not yet begun, and all the palace concubines, Fujin, and noblewomen gathered in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace to gossip, waiting for the Fengyi of the Empress of the Wulanala clan to arrive, so as to perform the moon sacrifice ceremony.

In the side hall, everyone sat down according to their status, and when they were talking about joy, the sharp-eyed ladies had already seen the bright yellow Yu driving from the wide open door, thinking that it was the Wulanala clan that had arrived, and everyone wanted to salute, and looked at it closely, but saw that this Yu was not carried by sixteen people, and it was half a small Fengyi area, and Xiao was the imperial concubine Zhai Yu.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, the harem has not been crowned as the imperial concubine, but there is no indication from the emperor, so how can it not be used.

Thinking of this, everyone was talking and laughing unchanged, and secretly peeked above the concubine position under the emperor, and saw the three concubines, except for the presence of Concubine Qi Li, the noble concubine Nian and Concubine Xi Niu Hulu had not arrived, so they didn't know which one was riding on this Zhai Yu.

Li sat with an ugly face, letting everyone's eyes pass her and look up, her heart was full of unwillingness, and the phoenix eyes that were carefully painted also looked at Zhai Yu who was getting closer and closer, shooting out a resentful gaze, and waiting for the palace eunuch to shout: "Concubine Xi Niangniang has arrived!" Princess Gulun, the fourth elder brother has arrived! Li couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to suppress a stream of resentment, and his daughter-in-law Dong E helped him get up, and went to greet everyone with a salute.

After a while, Zhai Yu drove to the door of the inner instrument, just borrowed the Hongli, Ah Xing got off the sedan chair with the strength of the left and right support, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, the stinging pain immediately came, causing Huizhu to tremble lightly, and the pain in his mouth was so painful that the "hiss" sound was not yet heard, and it was drowned out by the greetings that rang in unison.

Huizhu's figure was stunned, staring at the people who bowed down in front of her, and there was a short moment of amazement in her heart, the people under her eyes, without exception, were the powerful dignitaries under the imperial city, and she used to see them at the banquet in the harem, and she rarely needed to salute and greet her. However, now it has only been half a year, and she has become the object of praise. This reversal of identity makes her feel the glitz and void of Gong Yu, but she is like one of them

(Between the ups and downs of her mind, Huizhu suppressed her sudden emotion, showed a kind and slightly alienated smile, and responded: "The foot injury in this palace has not healed, and it is a little late.") After the humble words that were not salty or light, he had already walked to the middle of the side hall, helped the Li family, and said, "Concubine Qi is polite." /”

Li Shi got up, raised his eyes and saw Huizhu's dignified and pleasant smile, completely condescending and forced, all of a sudden, like a fish in his throat, the vermilion plump lips trembled up and down a few times, the upturned corners of his eyes swept over the people watching the play, the silver teeth bited, straightened his back, and bowed down with an advantage higher than Huizhu, and replied: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, Concubine Xi deserves to be a concubine, but I don't know" Halfway through the words, his eyes turned to Zhai Dian outside the open door, and said with a smile: "It can be deserved." ”

Huizhu sighed secretly, ignored the deep meaning of Li's words, directly bypassed Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, endured the pain in her feet, and followed the guide to the left side of the father-in-law to sit down.

Hongli was worried about Huizhu, took the flower tea brought by the palace maid with his own hands, frowned and glanced at the two Li who were sitting on the right, and said: "Eniang, don't take it to heart, this Zhai Dian is the emperor's Ma Yun." Huizhu took the celadon tea cup with satisfaction, looked for the end of the tea, and lowered her head to sip Xiaochang.

Prince Yi Fu Jin Zhaojia, who was sitting behind, said with a smile: "The fourth elder brother is really sensible and filial, at a glance in this side hall, only the fourth elder brother is with his own mother, Concubine Xi is blessed, but she envy the concubine." Hearing this, Huizhu put down the teacup, turned her head and said with a smile: "Don't praise him, I am by my side in the palace today, not because of the fact that the palace has not healed, but it is good that Hui Gege (Yinzhen's adopted daughter, Zhaojia's biological daughter) is a smart ice and snow, and the palace is very fond of it, and the little Baolian of the palace is also Sister Hui's non-stop." Zhao Jia's family also listened to it, so he smiled and greeted the nobles in the palace.

The two were talking speculatively, when they heard the palace eunuch shouting: "The queen mother has arrived!" After a pause, he said, "The young concubine has arrived!" In this way, Huizhu stopped talking and hurriedly called someone to help her up. I saw a little eunuch from Chuxiu Palace running over from the corner of the hall, and said to Qian'er: "Concubine Xi is auspicious, the queen has made a decree, your foot injury has not healed, so you don't need to come forward to greet you." Huizhu bowed slightly, indicating that she understood. But having said that, when the Wulanala clan and the Nian clan entered the hall, she still asked Ah Xing to help her get up and stand in front of the seat.

The Wulanala clan and the supreme sat down, and at a glance, they saw that Huizhu's appearance as a powerful princess was not as good as that of the Nian, An, and Wu clans, but the dignified and graceful momentum was a cut higher than them, but it did not make people feel sharp and pressing, but there was a sense of spring breeze, which was kind.

At a glance, the Wulanala clan had already measured it in the bottom of her heart, remembering last night's bed, Huizhu suddenly suffered a foot injury, Yinzhen had a gift to Zhai Dian today, and for no reason she was a little threatening and vigilant, and she unconsciously narrowed her eyelids, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, but saw Huizhu take a half step forward with difficulty, performed a complete set of palace salutes to her, and respectfully asked Andao: "Concubine Xifei welcomes the queen's mother." ”

The Ulanala clan retracted his scrutinizing gaze, and said in a thousand words: "Sister Xifei, you have a foot injury, and this palace has already exempted your sister from saluting, how can my sister still be so polite." Huizhu still replied: "The queen's mother is kind, and the concubines are exempted from the courtesy of the concubines, but the concubines must not forget the dignity and humility, the palace rules and regulations, and they should salute the queen." After saying that, Huizhu was a blockage in her heart, a little sarcastic about her hypocrisy, but she also understood that this was an opportunity, that is, to show everyone that she was not a reckless person, (the incident of Junxian during the New Year), and restrained the limelight of Fang Cai a little.

After finishing speaking, Huizhu looked at Nian Shi from the corner of her eyes, and saw Nian Shi looking at her with a cold gaze, she wanted to give her a flat salute, but she hit back again, and when she turned around, she motioned for Ah Xing to help her back and sit down.

With such a royal city of women, the Wulanala clan is the queen's honor, everyone is talking and flattering, and the bell rings outside, and the sky is already blue. The Ulanala clan summoned people to ask a few words about the sacrifice, and when they heard that it had been arranged, they pondered slightly: "It's the hour, don't miss the auspicious time of the sacrifice moon." At the end, there was a gentle word: "Sister Xifei, you have difficulty moving", so you don't need to be together. And if there are women who worship the moon and don't worship men, the palace will let Hongli stay here to accompany you, and wait a while, you go directly to the main hall. After explaining, he immediately got up and led a group of female dependents to leave.

The arrangement of the Ulanala clan was in Huizhu's arms, and she took advantage of the time when everyone was worshipping the moon, so she left a gap to go to the table and sit down early, so as not to limp to sit in place in front of everyone, and then attract everyone's attention. With a measure in her heart, she sent Xiao Ranzi to follow Baolian, so she sat with Hongli for a while, got up and went to the main hall.

After about a quarter and a half of walking, I saw the lights under the dark night sky from a distance, and the sound of laughter came from the main hall, Huizhu was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "Ah Xing, you go and see, why there seem to be a lot of people in the hall." Ah Xing responded, and left in a hurry with her front feet, and the little eunuch who was already in the back saw Huizhu and her party, and hurriedly knelt down to pass the message: "Concubine Xi Niangniang has arrived!" The fourth brother has arrived! ”
