Chapter Twenty-Five: Little Xue's
Coincidentally, as soon as the funeral was over, Concubine Qi's illness was cured. Pillow Chun thought that after that, he would be able to see the situation of Concubine Qi Shufei and Concubine Mi fighting for power. Unexpectedly, Concubine Qi Shu was surprised, and immediately said that her spirit was not as good as before after she recovered from her illness, and Concubine Mi was very good at taking care of the six palaces, and she didn't want to accept any more heavy responsibilities. Mu Beiyi didn't care about these little things, so he allowed it.
That's weird. In the morning, please An still went to the Chaohua Hall to meet the most respectable Concubine Qi Shu, but the palace was Concubine Qi Shu and Concubine Mi sat on the highest position, regardless of dignity.
"I haven't seen your sisters for a long time, but I miss you very much." Concubine Qi Shu didn't see any sickness, but she felt that she was getting more and more plump and beautiful after resting for a while. She wore a smoky silk skirt with coral bracelets and red agate earrings. The whole person's skin is becoming more and more snow-white, and his bright eyes and teeth look dignified and soft.
Concubine Mi smiled: "Sister Qi Shufei is really good at talking, and her appearance is better than before." Today, His Majesty said that it is a good thing that you have recovered from your illness, and you will come to see it in the next court. If you see that your sister's illness is more delicate, wouldn't you be reluctant to leave? ”
Concubine Qi Shu knew that Concubine Mi was sarcastic, but she didn't move, and said softly: "When I am sick, my family is accompanied by my family, and my heart is warm, so I naturally get better quickly." ”
Jiang Concubine smiled slightly when she heard this, her voice was very tactful, and she played a round field: "Concubine Mi is also concerned." I didn't know that Concubine Qi had a holy hand in her mother's family, which could nourish her body, and she was so radiant today. ”
"Where's the Holy Hand?" Concubine Qi Shu laughed, "It's just that with the grace of Your Majesty, the sisters in the clan entered the palace to say something." It's just that there is a sister who is young and good at playing the piano and singing, which makes people happy to accompany her. ”
The corners of Concubine Mi's mouth moved, and she guessed, which was worthy of the interface: "As far as I can see, there are also female ancestors in the palace, and Concubine Qi can be passed on for fun." ”
Pillow Chun fully expected in his heart, and sure enough, the beauty hidden by Concubine Qi was waiting here.
Now that Concubine Mi is in power in the palace, she can't be said to be generous to others. Although Concubine Qi Shu is a deep city, she will be gentler in the end. Today's matter, Concubine Qi must have been planning for a long time, Concubine Mi stopped the first day of the new year, but couldn't stop the fifteenth. Simply sell a face. stared at the handkerchief in his hand, and said casually: "Concubine Qi's mother's family is the Xue family in Hedong, and I heard that it is a famous family for generations. Thinking about it, the younger sister in the mother's clan is naturally also a talented woman, and the concubines are small, but it is strange that those daughters who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't you know if you have the fate to see it today? ”
Concubine Mi's eyes were cold, and she swept towards Pillow Chun like a knife: "An Guiren's mother is a marquis, so anxious to despise herself?" ”
"An Guiren is just polite, he is polite." Concubine Qi Shufei cast an approving glance at Pillow Chun, "I'm afraid that my sister hasn't seen a big scene and will disturb you." ”
Liu Anran and Pillow Chun looked at each other, then got up and said: "Niangniang is so kind and dignified, how can you say that the Xue family is not good." The concubine also wants to meet this woman who is good at playing the piano and singing. ”
Unlike Pillow Spring and Liu Anran, Lian Yueyang has never heard such a rumor. Rao is like this, seeing the reaction of the two, she also understood, she is now the second second concubine Wanyi, gently flicked a silver bracelet on her wrist, and said: "But the eldest prince has also seen the music for the first time recently, and the concubine is illiterate and doesn't understand this." There is such a wonderful person in the Niangniang Palace today, but it can't be hidden, and let the concubines take a look. ”
Even Yueyang said so, Concubine Mi was a little helpless, her face stiffened, and she sneered and said goodbye.
Concubine Qi Shu had expected that Concubine Mi would be unpopular, and what she wanted was the current situation, so she was not in a hurry to return to the power. With a soft smile on her face, she leaned lightly on the back of the chair: "Since you sisters want to see, how can this palace hide and refuse." He instructed the palace maid beside him, "Hongyi, go and bring Miss Nine out and play a song for you." ”
After a while, I saw the heavy curtains open, and a woman in Tsing Yi with a beautiful figure came out. From a distance, it is a slender waist and shaved shoulders, black hair like clouds, white skin like mutton fat, like a boneless fairy in the painting, a little residual lotus and softness. She stepped forward with grace, and the etiquette was very thoughtful: "The people's daughter Xue Chuling will say hello to all the mothers and the little master, and the little master will be blessed with Jin'an." ”
When Concubine Mi heard this, she laughed, leaned on the cushion for a long time, and said coldly: "I heard that the concubines of the Xue family in Hedong are all the names of the concubines of the single word of clothes, and there are three clothes who are famous for their virtues. These three clothes are the three women of shirts, sleeves and robes, which take the meaning of the women of the four virtues. The dust is filthy, the clothes are fresh, and when bathing, the body is not dirty, and it is called a woman's appearance. Among them, the word is the boudoir of our Qi Shufei Niangniang, and she is the eldest daughter of the clan. His eyes fell on the little Xue clan's Xue Chuling, and he sneered, "Your name is Xue Chuling, your name is interesting, and it can still ring." ”
The implication is that this Xue Chuling is neither a concubine, nor is her name lowly nor noble, she is humble.
That Xue Chuling was born with a weak and beautiful appearance, and there was mist in his eyes. is that Gu Pan has her own gentle style, she is neither humble nor arrogant: "If you return to Concubine Mi Niangniang, the Xue family's upbringing of the daughters of the concubines is generally strict. As he spoke, he looked up at Concubine Mi and did not shy away from it, "I heard that Concubine Mi's name is Shi Linlang, which means beautiful jade poetry, and it is extremely noble." Linlang also said that the crisp sound when the jade collided, Huan Pei Linlang, isn't it also a sound?"
"You're sharp-toothed." Concubine Mi was very disgruntled, "It seems that Concubine Qi has found a treasure." ”
Pillow Chun secretly thought in his heart, but he was a clever and clever person. Concubine Qi Shu's chess move is interesting, isn't she going to sing a big drama in the future?
As he was saying this, he heard Feng Tang singing outside, and Mu Beiyi got off the morning court and strode into the Chaohua Palace. When everyone heard this, Suo Suo stood up and sang. Mu Beiyi is wearing a red and Xuan two-color court dress today, with a jade crown with wide shoulders and a majestic and upright crown. He glanced at it, and saw Xue Chuling in the middle of the hall: "Which one is this?" ”
Concubine Qi Shu greeted her again and again: "This is the concubine in the concubine clan, who entered the palace by His Majesty's grace to serve the sick." Now that the concubine is well, she will talk about her with her sisters. ”
Lian Yueyang replied: "Exactly." said that this sister Xue was good at piano music, so she came to her to feast your ears. ”
"Hmm." Mu Beiyi bowed his head, "I will listen to it too." After that, he sat down in the hall with his sleeves and took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by Concubine Qi.
Concubine Mi closed her eyes, and her face showed a very tired face, knowing that she was powerless to return to the sky now.
Xue Chuling had no stage fright, and kowtowed: "The folk girl is clumsy, and she is ugly for His Majesty and the little masters, so she will play and sing the song "Silk Preparation". ”
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines and royals exchanged ears. Liu Anran was stunned, but his face was red when he covered his face with a silk. Pillow Chun leaned back in the chair, and looked at the little Xue family. It's gentle and shy, but it's bold when you open your mouth.
“…… Tonight, what night, see this beloved. Zi Zi Xi, how can such a good person ......"
Xue Chuling's rhythm is really exquisite, and it lives up to Concubine Qi's calculations. The most rare thing is that its timbre is graceful and high-pitched, lingering around the beam, making people have endless aftertaste. I saw the jade-colored finger plucking the piano, and the red lips and teeth opened and closed slightly, which was a tender and sweet singing, and it was the eyes and ears that felt comfortable.
“…… Tonight, what is the night, see this encounter. Zixi, what ...... such an encounter?"
The song "Silk Preparation" is a song often played in the market for marriage, which is about the Silk Dress, and the husband and wife are concentric. The song pays attention to the auspicious joy of a strong affection and honey, and is sung by Xue Chuling, which is a little affectionate. This kind of song is not sung by women casually, and the harmony and encounter sung in the song are embarrassing for famous daughters like Liu Anran. But if you want to say that she doesn't sing well, and the poem is innocent, who dares to stand up and reprimand her obscene words and songs.
“…… Tonight, what night, see this canon. Zi Xi Zi Xi, how can you ...... such a canteen"
Xue Chuling flicked his fingertips, the strings were broken, and it ended crisply. His face did not change color, and his eyes were affectionate towards the superior.
Although Mu Beiyi is still handsome, there are now more than a dozen concubines in the inner palace, which can be regarded as a taste of male and female affairs. There is no need to delve into whether Concubine Qi Shufei intends to arrange it in front of her, it is enough for Xue Chuling to be very satisfied. I saw him nodding, praised lightly, and said while taking tea: "The piano skills are good, and the Xue family teaches their daughters well." ”
When everyone saw such a scene, they knew that it should be the name of the Xue clan in the future, and they all praised and got up and retired after a few words.
Concubine Mi was unwilling, but she had to say coldly: "If it is true that the Xue family is a famous family, and the concubines are carefully trained, the concubines are really eye-opening." Then he got up, "It's time to go and see the trivial matters of the Sixth Palace, and the concubine retires." ”
