Chapter 9: Ambition is Hard to Reward (1)

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the war on the front line was not peaceful, and Bao Yuan and the Queen Mother were unwilling to be extravagant, the night banquet in the palace was not as lively as usual, only the close relatives and concubines of the harem attended.

After three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother got up to sober up and change clothes, and then I went to change my clothes and came back, Fang wanted to go back to his seat but was unexpectedly called by Bao Yuan to sit next to him, and when he sat down, he suddenly heard him chuckle in his ear: "Rui'er really knows my mind best." ”

"......" I was speechless, and for a moment I couldn't understand why he said that.

I saw him raise his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips stared at me with a smile, and I found out where the ingenuity was along his line of sight, it turned out that Bao Yuan had also changed into a Ming Huang dragon robe, and now he was only wearing a moon-white regular robe, although it was a regular suit, it was still embroidered with dragon patterns with light purple clay gold thread on the cuffs and placket...... This dress looks very ordinary at first glance, but now that the moon is fine, she feels that there is a more elegant and handsome posture...... Eyebrows and jade face, handsome and handsome, the man in front of me who looked at me silently with a cup was like a fairy in the faint moonlight and light and shadow, and people were stunned for a while.

"Snort" chuckles. When I came back to my senses, I looked at the starry eyes with a narrow smile, and my heart couldn't help but jump suddenly, but I didn't expect to be with him for many years and still couldn't withstand the "temptation" so far, and the roots of my ears couldn't help but burn.

Afraid that his mind would be peeped through by him, he hurriedly lowered his head, but saw that his current clothes - a palace dress of pink and purple lined with moon white light yarn, such as a thin silk with a dark pattern embroidered with light purple and silver threads...... Why did I accidentally have a "couple outfit" with him? At this point, I was embarrassed, and my face burned even more.

was taking care of himself and was embarrassed, and suddenly heard Ren Cao sighing beside him: "The royal brother and Concubine Hui are really smart, and they even have such a tacit understanding when they change their clothes." ”

Ren Cao was originally the prince of Jinzong, and he has always been close to Bao Yuan and has always been used to joking, and today's family banquet does not need to be restrained by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so as soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked at the two of us with a smile, and Yawang Renzhen and Peng Wang Renyu nodded on the side in agreement.

Just when I was embarrassed, Ren Cao took advantage of the situation to raise a toast and looked at me and Bao Yuan with a smile.

Bao Yuan was generous, smiled and raised his head to drink, looking back at me only with a smile.

I saw that I couldn't refuse, so I had to stubbornly pick up the osmanthus brew in front of me, the wine party touched my lips but didn't want to be taken by Bao Yuan, he smiled and said to Rencao: "Rui'er can't drink, I drank this glass of wine on her behalf." "With that, he raised his head and did it.

I was dumbfounded, muttering in my heart: When will I not be able to drink, why don't I still drink it, and I want to ...... Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Ren Cao laugh and said: "The imperial brother is so partial, there are so many imperial sisters-in-law sitting here, and the ministers and brothers have all saluted them one by one, but I don't see which one of the imperial brothers will drink on behalf of them, how come it is that Concubine Hui's sister-in-law can't drink it?" ”

Ren Cao's tone was full of laughter, but Bao Yuan didn't care, and only said lightly: "She doesn't drink like others...... he seemed to be considering, groaned slightly, and said: "Honest." ”

"Honest?!" Ren Cao playfully tasted Bao Yuan's words, looked at Bao Yuan for a moment, then looked at me, looked back at his wife Haitang, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Jingyi listened to our conversation, pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor treats Concubine Hui's sister differently, how can it be compared to us." He looked at me and smiled.

Jin Yan smiled and said on the side: "Sister Huifei has always been as smart and gentle as a flower, and the emperor's partiality is also reasonable. Saying that, Ying Ying got up, raised the wine glass in her hand and said to me: "Concubine Hui, would you like to drink this cup full?" ”

I didn't want Jinyan to be so bad, I didn't know what to say in a daze, but when I saw that Baoyuan had already beckoned Jinyan to approach, I took the wine glass in her hand with a smile and drank it all.

At this time, Jinyan's face was full of spring breeze, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles to congratulate me: "Sister Concubine Hui really has the most sacred heart of the emperor, and today I know that 'honesty' is not a good thing!" After speaking, the meaning of flirting in his eyes was even stronger.

I never knew that Jinyan would be so wise and hateful, and there was no room for half a point to be ridiculed by her like this, but the mood was very good, and I thought that she was so happy because she knew that the hand-sewn winter clothes had been handed over to the person who couldn't let go! Forget it, let's be presumptuous with her today!

I was thinking about replying to Jinyan, but I didn't want to At this time, Haitang also joked on the side, Shuluo Rencao didn't treat her like Bao Yuan treated me like this, although the words were funny, but they also provoked Rencao to explain and defend herself.

After going back and forth like this, Bao Yuan was in a good mood, and the brothers teased each other and drank a lot, but they didn't want to change the topic and run to the word "honest" in Fang Cai Bao Yuan's comment on me, so it was really getting darker and darker.

I was ridiculed by everyone like this, and I felt even more embarrassed, and I couldn't help but raise my eyes and glared at Bao Yuan, blaming him for being so good at mentioning what to drink or not! Honest, honest, you're big, how can I be dishonest.

Seeing me glaring at him, Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked innocent, as if he was saying, "This is not my fault." ”

If you don't rely on you, who do you rely on? I glared at him again.

He was probably startled by my eyes, touched his nose and was about to speak, but he heard the Queen Mother's loving voice sound: "What did you just say?" It's so hilarious. ”

Jin Yanben stood in front of Bao Yuan, and when he saw that the queen mother was busy stepping forward to help, he replied respectfully: "King Fang Cai Jia praised Concubine Hui's sister for being virtuous, and the emperor favored her." ”

"Well, Rui'er is indeed well-behaved and sensible." The Queen Mother nodded, and handed her hand to me, who had already gotten up to help her, "This time it is very rare to lead the harem to sew winter clothes for the front-line soldiers. ”

When I heard the Queen Mother's praise, I didn't dare to slack off, and I hurriedly said: "That is the Queen Mother's kindness, and the emperor is wise, so I will work together." ”

The Queen Mother was very helpful to my words, and said to everyone with kindness: "For women, women's virtue is the foundation of their lives, and it is good to be beautiful and intelligent, but they can spread their children and help their husbands in order to get their husband's pity and love for a long time." ”

I was stunned, but I didn't care too much, thinking that it was because I had known each other with Bao Yuan over the years, and the troubles of the heirs had gradually receded, and now it was not my heart disease. Then he and the concubines and relatives who were seated got up and saluted and were taught. The Queen Mother took the opportunity to tell Bao Yuan that she had not been elected for a long time, and the harem also wanted to accept newcomers.

Bao Yuan was noncommittal when he heard this, but smiled faintly and said: "I am not in a hurry to recruit newcomers, but Xuan Zhe has been married for more than a year, but I have not heard that my daughter-in-law is ......happy."

The ancients married early, and they were even more happy to give birth to a noble son early, and Xuan Zhe was the eldest son, so the heirs of Shangbaoyuan have always been important.

Concubine Xuanzhe is the eldest granddaughter of Baoyuan's "father" Zhao Jiliang, and her daughter is called Shuzhen, and her impression is that she is a very gentle and quiet daughter. Thinking of this, I looked at Xuan Zhe's seat and saw that he was talking to Xuan Yu in a low voice.
