Chapter 279: The Emperor and the Queen
On that day, Nian's son knelt on the ground and asked for his life, but it was just a drama in the eyes of everyone, she fainted that day and returned to the palace, Fuhui still lived in the Old Summer Palace with the Wu family, and the situation of the Nian's family being suppressed remained unchanged. If this is the case, the Nian family went out of the palace privately to seek the face of the saint, but it has become the talking point of the people in the palace and the capital circle, and it has also become the trend of public opinion that Nian Qianyao and the entire Nian family will be defeated.
Officialdom, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who have seen the wind and rudder, and who are more red and white. As the Zhili relief for the displaced people and the prevention and control of the epidemic opened, Nian Qianyao and his cronies in the northwest eroded money and food, regardless of the livelihood of the displaced people in the capital. In August, the middle and low-level officials jointly played, Yinzhen remembered the past friendships, pressed no, only degraded to Ada Hahafan, and completely stayed away from the affairs of the Korean government and the military party.
The new Nian family's consciousness is ethereal, the Nian family is grounded in the deep palace in disguise, Fuhui's value has been greatly reduced, and he is no longer qualified to compete for the throne, so Huizhu has become the object of everyone's scrambling to please. In view of Yinzhen's deep hatred of forming gangs and factions, personal relations with the prince, and the princes and ministers are not easy to come forward, the female relatives behind him benefit from Huizhu's good relationship, and often take the opportunity to come to see Huizhu.
Huizhu didn't want to be in the limelight, and interacted with the female dependents of all forces, so as not to disturb Yinzhen's unhappiness, so she had the heart to dodge. Although the flood in Zhili was on track, Yinzhen no longer needed her to make suggestions, but it didn't make her have to stay in the inner study. Therefore, from mid-July to early August, Huizhu has stayed quietly on the sidelines, or doing needlework, or reading idle books, or practicing calligraphy and dealing with political affairs
Such days are casual and lazy, and I don't realize that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, because of the disaster in Zhili and other places on the tenth day of the first year.
The epidemic was fully contained, the situation was good for the displaced people to be appeased, the ministers played a congratulatory table, and Yinzhen was happy with the dragon's heart, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet was set up to show that the disaster had passed and the country and the people were safe.
On the evening of the same day, a banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace. In the middle of the hall, there is a golden cloud dragon pattern table, and a dragon chair throne is placed in the back. The left and right sides are respectively equipped with phoenix pattern auspicious cloud table case, the only difference is that the right throne is the nine dynasties phoenix, and the left throne is horizontal. At this moment, the dragon chair is sitting alone on the top seat of Yinzhen, on the left and right, the Wulanala clan sits on the right phoenix seat, and Huizhu sits on the left Jin Zhai seat.
Its lower seats are the north and south directions on the left and right sides, and there are rosewood tables on each side, and the seats of the concubines are in front of the upper seat, and the seats of the royal family are in order, and then the seats of the ministers are in order.
For a while, the sound of wine worship, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra stopped, everyone raised their glasses towards Yinzhen, Yinzhen was an imperial momentum, raised his head and drank it all, and everyone followed closely behind, and drank it all up.
The fragrant and mellow cold wine entered the throat, and the flat wine cup in his hand touched the table with a soft sound, and everyone looked left and right, talking and laughing. Huizhu didn't leave the wine cup, a pair of carefully drawn eyes seemed to be staring at it, and her long eyelashes took a shadow, and she also hid the caution in her eyes.
Nian's was banned from Yikun Palace, and she was declared sick and could not attend, as one of the four concubines, she was arranged above the concubines, and Yinzhen should be next to her.
It is unreasonable to set up a golden throne for her, and set it up side by side with the phoenix seat of the Ulanala clan. I still remember that in the evening, as soon as she entered the hall, she faintly noticed that something was wrong, in addition to everyone's seemingly non-existent gaze, the Ulanala clan also had abnormalities.
At the banquet tonight, the Wulanala clan was dressed in the queen's makeup, sitting beside Yinzhen with a dignified demeanor, and maintaining the right smile on his face as always. It's just that for some reason, there was a shallow sadness in the gentle eyebrows of the Ulanara clan, or a flash of cold light in the gaze that inadvertently came to her, which made her vigilant.
Wu Yashi wanted to move into the Old Summer Palace in order to get close to the Holy Driver, so he had a heart for Huizhu, but he couldn't enter the door. At this time, he saw that Huizhu seemed to be quite interested in the wine cup, so he patted the horse and said: "Concubine Xi, the wine cup in your hand is the same as the white jade texture of the concubines, but it is different in the hands of the mother. ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed disdain, only saying that Wu Yashi wanted to please Huizhu. Unexpectedly, when I looked at it, the wine cup in Huizhu's hand was really different, not only the complexion was pure, but also the streamer was blowing.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, and even more thoughtful people like Wu Ya's exclaimed: "It's obviously the same thing, but in the hands of Concubine Xi, it has become a good treasure, it's really incredible!" In addition to sighing, there is little flattery.
Concubine Mao Song chuckled, and the man's face turned red and white, because he asked: "I don't know what Concubine Mao is laughing at, isn't the wine cup in Concubine Xi's hand better than everyone's?" Song covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, the wine cup on Concubine Xi's case is really good." There are only two sets in the entire palace, one is used by the emperor, and the other is in the hands of Concubine Xi. ”
As soon as Song's words came out, everyone gradually tasted it, and Huizhu also understood, and said to Song with a casual smile: "What do you mean by Concubine Mao's words?" Song seemed to be confident, and said eloquently: "This cup is the Jiuquan luminous cup, sprinkled inside, as if there is a night light, so it is named the luminous cup." And the material is from the Qilian Mountain produced under the various colors of jade, the sprinkling cup, all kinds of different colors, white such as mutton fat, yellow elephant goose down, green like jade, black bird paint. ”
The Song family has always been low-key, and at this time, he actually talked about it unusually, and he must have a plan. Huizhu seemed to listen carefully, but in her heart, she thought that instead of worrying about the attack of the dark arrow, it was better to take the initiative to lead the topic. Thinking about it, Huizhu Tao Fan did not hide her surprise, and said in a flattered tone in her mouth: "Listen to what Concubine Mao said, this sprinkling cup is not an ordinary product, and the output is scarce, how can it be ......?"
Before the words were finished, someone took it, only to hear the Wulanala clan say, "Sister Xi, don't panic, this palace sees that the fifteenth moon is full today, and it is most suitable to drink with a luminous cup, so let the emperor and his sister put it on the table." ”
If you don't need it, how dare she use it as a little concubine! Huizhu sneered in her heart, but her face remained unchanged, and she hurriedly got up from her seat and said: "There is only one pair in the Jiuquan Luminous Cup Palace, since it should be used by the emperor and queen, and the concubines are really frightened, so they should not be used." Wu's eyes flashed slightly, as if unintentionally: "Since the queen mother has specially prepared, Concubine Xi has received her mind." You've used this glass, and it's not much fun to say it's not the right one. You can't let the palace people withdraw and wash it, and then give it to the queen's mother, but? ”
Huizhu's face changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, the concubine didn't mean that, how could she let you use the things used by the concubine." The Wulanala clan waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Sister Concubine Xi is the most sincere, this palace knows, you should sit down quickly." Huizhu couldn't refute it, and sat down according to her words.
A smile of amiability appeared on the face of the Ulanala clan, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and after a while, his eyes stared at Yinzhen and shook
The head chuckled and said: "The concubine was going to give this Jiuquan luminous cup as a congratulatory gift to Concubine Xi's sister, but she saw this festival and advanced it." ”
After a pause, he swallowed the hardship in his mouth, and said happily: "Forget it, there is one more thing, and I have said it in advance." ”
Everyone looked puzzled, but the Wulanala clan smiled in their eyes but did not answer, Wu got up from the phoenix seat, and made a big salute to Yinzhen: "
Concubine Xi's sister has been instrumental in raising Hongli and Baolian, and in the past two years, she has been taking care of the Old Summer Palace for the emperor and taking care of the emperor's life
Reside. And Concubine Xi is humble and humble, the emperor and everyone are clear, even the emperor often praises her. Therefore, the concubine thinks that it should be
and Concubine Xi were promoted, and the emperor was also asked for permission. ”
When the words fell, the noisy hall was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at the Ulanala clan in surprise, extremely puzzled.
As the queen, the Ulanala clan has no concubines, and the most important thing to talk about is that the palace concubine is evenly powered, so that she can sit in the back seat. And now that the Li family is in the harem, the Nian family is undoubtedly defeated, and only Concubine Xi of Jingren Palace can compete; Therefore, now the most important thing she should be prepared against is Concubine Xi, supporting the Geng family who gave birth to Hongday, why would she take the initiative to ask for her life and Concubine Xi's promotion? I have to be surprised.
Concubine Xi is one of the four concubines, and if she is promoted again, she will only be a concubine or an imperial concubine. There can be two concubines in the Qing Palace, such as concubines, plus the title "Xi" given by Emperor Kangxi, it is equivalent to the imperial concubine, and it is the deputy queen! If she is an imperial concubine, coupled with the title "Xi" given by Emperor Kangxi, isn't it the queen of peace? Everyone couldn't help but gasp and looked at Huizhu in unison.
Huizhu was also surprised, wondering what the Ulanala clan meant? In front of everyone, she asked for a promotion to the throne with the dignity of the queen, didn't the Wulanala clan know that she would agree to it if she was so reasonable.
A wisp of difference flashed in Yinzhen's eyes very quickly, and then the eagle's sharp eyes fell on the Wulanala clan with a slightly half-covered gaze, half ringing, thin lips hooked a light smile, and said noncommittally: The harem is all in charge of the queen, and the queen thinks that Concubine Xi is good and should be promoted, and I agree. : After speaking, the hall was strangely silent for a moment, and resumed the enthusiasm of the banquet, no matter what the personal thoughts were, they all congratulated Huizhu.
Yinzhen and Wulanara's unexpected actions made Huizhu stunned on the spot, and when she heard many congratulatory words, she could come back to her senses. In this way, all kinds of complicated eyes were also perceived, and even the indifferent eyes of Geng Shi, who was sitting down, were crossed with a slight envy, and she finally couldn't bear it, got up and refused: "Your Majesty." ”
Yinzhen swept away a dose of cold light, and seeing that Huizhu was no longer speechless, Fang asked: "The queen is virtuous, who is the concubine who wants to be promoted?" The Wulanala clan was bitter in his mouth, but his words were full of joy, and he discussed: "The concubine is not young anymore, and it is a little difficult to be in charge of the harem, and I want to make Concubine Jinxi's sister the imperial concubine, so that she can be in charge of the harem with the concubine, and the emperor thinks it is appropriate?" ”
(The previous chapter was really oolong, sorry for coming...... Mutter...... The name of this chapter is incompetent, thinking that Yinzhen will talk to the queen, and there will be a promotion to the throne, so he will take the emperor)
