Chapter 250 Chapter 248 Beauty Strategy (Part II)
In the Shangyu Palace, the concubine Mu Qingya saw was still beautiful and moving, even more pale and weak than before, but she wore a bright red palace dress today, and her skin was white and snowy, and her body was like a green willow, which made people have the urge to take her into her arms to appease and pity at a glance.
When Concubine Li saw Mu Qingya, she hurriedly got up and greeted her, with a kind and natural smile: "Qingya, are you here?" ”
"Qingya has seen Concubine Li." Mu Qingya saluted respectfully.
"Hurry up, my Shangyu Palace has been banned for a long time, and there is no good tea to send over, here is the flower tea I prepared, you can taste it if you like." Concubine Li said self-suffering words, but her expression was peaceful, as if this treatment had been endured countless times.
"Concubine Li Niangniang has suffered, every time I think of Concubine Li's experience in the past few days, I feel uneasy, after all, if I didn't live in Concubine Li's palace, I wouldn't let Niangniang neglect to take care of the palace maid, causing the fire to almost cause a catastrophe, and also causing Niangniang to be grounded for more than a month...... Mu Qingya apologized.
Concubine Li smiled gently: "Don't say that, it's all my fault, okay, don't talk about this today, I just heard that some time ago you seem to have had some conflicts with Situ Ye and Situ Yanran of the Situ family, you have to pay more attention, those two people are not easy to think with, you don't know the reason for the first time, the Situ family is definitely not an ordinary family, it is the Han family behind the queen's mother, and everyone who meets the Situ family has to give three points." ”
Concubine Li's words were extremely gentle, and the worries in her ears were even more sincere, Mu Qingya laughed sarcastically in her heart, if she didn't know Concubine Li's purpose, I'm afraid she really thought that Concubine Li invited her to come over because she was worried, since she had already laid the groundwork, she didn't mind sending this favor.
"Niangniang, thank you for your concern, Qingya also knows how powerful this is, I will deal with this matter well, but the two people of the Situ family are also too arrogant, by the way, Mama Zhao will not invite me today, I will also come over, Niangniang, you have been grounded in Shangyu Palace for too long, and it will be the emperor's birthday in five days, I don't know what Niangniang has planned?"
Concubine Li lowered her eyes slightly, and a clear sorrow crossed her eyes: "It's rare for me to even see the emperor now, what are your plans?" In this harem, the most important thing is to have beautiful women, I am in my thirties, I am already the age of old pearls, where can I make the emperor remember it? ”
"Niangniang must not be so arrogant, originally Qingya thought that Niangniang had her own plans and did not come to ask Niangniang, since you didn't prepare anything else, then can you do Qingya a favor?"
"What's the hurry, you say come and hear it." Concubine Li's heart was surging, but her face was still full of sorrow.
"Qingya choreographed a dance according to Yuhan's score for the past two days, and if she wants to celebrate the emperor's birthday, she is lacking a dancer with a magnificent appearance and a charming style."
"Dancer?"
"Yes, this dance is called the Wide-sleeved Fairy Dance, which is said to be the most beautiful fairy gift to the Jade Emperor, although the dancer is not allowed to have too many fancy movements, but it is the soul of the whole dance, a hundred flowers bloom, ten thousand birds contend, set the aura of heaven and earth in one, the knot landscape and the spirit show in one, Niangniang, if you appear in front of the emperor like this, how can the emperor be willing to let Niangniang grounded again!"
A trace of heat flashed in Concubine Li's pupils, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, and condensing all things, if she could achieve half of the effect, then she was absolutely confident that she would capture the emperor's heart in one fell swoop. When the time comes, her emperor will no longer be excluded!
"Qingya, although what you said is good, but you also know that I am no longer a girl of twenty-eight Fanghua after all, where can I still ......" Concubine Li forcibly suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart, and said in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, since Qingya can say it, she can naturally do it, and please allow me to bring those girls to rehearse in the past two days, and the clothes you need that day Qingya will also be ready." Mu Qingya said with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll let Mama Zhao arrange it." Concubine Li's eyes were bright, and a stone in her heart faintly fell to the ground, this Mu Qingya, she has made people investigate, her father was just a minor official in Lin Jiangcheng, and she was able to rely on her influence to let her father climb to Yuhan Kyoto step by step, she was almost named the queen, how could she survive until now without two unique skills in her hands, I believe that with this opportunity, she will definitely catch the queen off guard.
The two of them were naturally very satisfied with this conversation, and in the next five days, Mu Qingya put all her time on the rehearsal of the dance, Concubine Li was full of confidence in this performance when she saw the dance for the first time, and she was shocked for a long time when she saw the effect of the last rehearsal, and her attitude towards Mu Qingya was a little more intimate.
As soon as the five days passed, the palace was dressed in splendid clothes overnight, and the red colored silk hung all over the trees and branches in the palace. Red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the palace, and all the corners and wells were pressed with fine silk cloth, from the most humble palace maids to all kinds of mothers and masters, there were extremely bright smiles on their faces, even the concubines who were bitter in their hearts looked as if they had encountered great good things, and they smiled brightly.
In Jing Ning Xuan, Le Qi carefully served Mu Qingya and smoothed the wide cuffs. Mu Qingya withdrew her outstretched hands and walked to the dresser. The sleeves are fluttering, the layers of peonies are gathered into a sea of splendid flowers, the two-layer skirt gradually deepens from top to bottom, to the bottom of the skirt, the graceful peony has become the most gorgeous demon, the bright red petals are like gems, each embroidery thread is spun with the top layer of snow silk, shining in the sun.
Mu Qingya carefully outlined her eyebrows and eyes, her slender eyelashes slowly opened, and a pair of eyes blinked slightly, as if they were immersed in a smooth jade color, and layers of ripples were stirred, like a whirlpool of soul-stirring, and the sun suddenly lost its color when it hit it.
pinned her hair finely with a bead hairpin, and finally inserted a gilt flower bead to shake it, Mu Qingya smiled with satisfaction: "Le Qi, let's go." “
"Ah...... Yes, miss. Le Qi was stunned for a while, until Mu Qingya got up and looked at her for a long time, then came back to her senses, put the cloak in her hand on Mu Qingya's body, and then looked at the snow fox cloak with regret to cover the gorgeous dress, "Miss, why don't you change a cloak, the slave remembers that the emperor gave you a sable ruby cloak, which is extremely beautiful, much better than this snow fox." ”
Mu Qingya shook her head: "I'm dressed like this today because I need it for such an occasion, not to show off." After speaking, without waiting for Le Qi to refute, he walked straight out of the palace.
At the gate of Quang Ninh Palace, all the officials lined up in two columns to salute the emperor standing at the top, and the long line stretched far away, and it was impossible to see the end.
The emperor and empress stood at the highest place of Guangning Palace, looking at the kowtowing officials with a smile on their faces, and the loud congratulatory sound resounded throughout the imperial city.
Mu Qingya stood among the distinguished guests, listening to the congratulatory sound coming from the front, her lips rose slightly, at this time, the power of an emperor will be fully revealed, and it is said that it is hard for the king, but how many people can refuse the temptation of this power!
Mu Qingya turned her head to see Mo Junqing on the side, and nodded to him slightly.
Mo Junqing smiled, a warm feeling crossed in her heart, although she knew that she had no other meaning, but there was still a trace of sweetness in her heart, princess, Qingya, as long as you want to do it, I will help you achieve it!
After accepting the congratulations of the courtiers, Mo Ao returned to the Golden Palace to set up a banquet, and the officials above the third rank were able to enter the palace to participate in the banquet, and the remaining officials were not eligible to participate in the banquet opened by the emperor himself, so they went home and waited for the unified banquet time in the palace before they could eat.
Mu Qingya followed everyone towards the palace where the banquet was held, naturally there were not many restrictions at this time, and the male and female guests just sat down in separate seats.
At the gate of the palace, Situ Yanran walked over and proudly sorted out the clothes and jewelry on her body, for today's banquet, her dress was specially customized for the door, even the smallest corners were made of the finest silk threads, she was confident that she would be able to beat the crowd at the banquet. The sense of superiority in my heart rose to what point the moment I saw Mu Qingya: "This cloak of yours is from ferret?" ”
Mu Qingya glanced up at her: "No, it's an ordinary snow fox." ”
"Heh," Situ Yanran chuckled, "Really?" Hehe. He glanced at Mu Qingya mockingly, as if he had seen something disgusting, and turned his head and walked into the palace first.
Le Qi glared indignantly, and walked into the palace with Mu Qingya's hand.
Entering the palace, Le Qi took Mu Qingya's cloak and carefully handed it to Lu Liu for her to take down.
Situ Yanran listened to the compliments around her, her eyes were full of pride, but when she turned her head to see Mu Qingya, the smugness in her eyes instantly turned into anger. She glanced down at what she was wearing, and then compared Mu Qingya, she only felt like a crow showing off her feathers in front of the phoenix, and an ugly emotion rose to her heart, Mu Qingya, a slut, must have laughed at herself in her heart just now, and even pretended to be casual, hum, she must teach her a good lesson!
Mu Qingya noticed Situ Yanran's same, but she only frowned slightly in her heart, she didn't want to worry about her here, she could have such an arrogant character, she could only say that she was happier than herself, and someone could be willing to pamper her like this, making her lawless, as long as she wasn't too much, she wouldn't let her end be too miserable.
