"The imperial concubine is blessed with Jin'an."

The imperial concubine looked at the three girls in front of her, who were generous, virtuous and dignified, like a slim gentleman's orchid. Because his eyebrows resemble his father, and Li Xunzhuo is Xiao Li Gelao, his beautiful face shows a little heroic, and at a glance it is everyone's demeanor. Although Jinhua is the youngest, her figure looks slender and slender, not inferior to her older sisters at all. She looks charming and pitiful, handsome and elegant, but her face is a little thin, and her face is pale, and her eyes are flickering, which makes the imperial concubine a little bored.

Shaohua's head was buried at the lowest, and the imperial concubine didn't see her appearance clearly, so she only asked faintly: "Who are Li Wuniang and Li Qiniang, where did they run away, why can't they send someone to find you." ”

Jinhua's figure shook, and she trembled involuntarily, Shaohua helped her weakly, and then took half a step forward and saluted the imperial concubine again. "The folk girl is Li Wuniang. Fang Cai accidentally broke her foot because Qi Niang was greedy for beautiful scenery, and the folk girl rubbed her foot for her to delay. Please also ask the mother to forgive her sins. ”

Hearing Shaohua say this, everyone seemed to understand Jinhua's unstable standing.

The imperial concubine was a little surprised: "You can still heal?" ”

Shaohua shook his head, his voice was slow and powerful, "I don't dare, it's just that the folk girl was playful when she was young, and it was inevitable that she would bump and bump, so she knew a little bit." Hearing this, Hongfang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and sneered, how could it be that he was playful when he was young, and he didn't see it any better when he grew up.

But on this point, the one who touched Yan Kaizhi the most, but he didn't even look at it. Hongyi deliberately stabbed him, and Yan Kaizhi raised his head at this time, just in time to see her demure side face, which looked so quiet and elegant. It's a pity that he knows in his heart that only in this situation like the current situation will Shaohua show such a mature appearance.

"It's so versatile." The imperial concubine nodded, seeing that Jinhua was still swaying, and asked, "Li Qiniang, how about the foot injury, do you need to call the imperial doctor." ”

"No, no." Jinhua was so nervous that his voice was hoarse, and his head was buried lower.

"Xie Niangniang cares, Qi Niang is just a little injured, and it is not in the way. It is already a great favor for the mother not to blame, how dare she work hard and disturb everyone's interest. Shaohua heard the imperial concubine snort dissatisfiedly, and immediately took over.

As a result, after listening to Shaohua's words, the imperial concubine chuckled, turned her head to Hongyi and said, "Erlang, you said she was raised in the countryside?" I don't look like it, but I look like a serious lady. ”

Hongyi replied to the imperial concubine gently: "Mother, after all, she is also the granddaughter of Li Gelao, and she is originally serious. His eyes fell on Shaohua's face, and when he saw her secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he immediately felt funny.

"Look at what I'm saying." The imperial concubine smiled at them and said, "I heard that in the old mansion of Li Ge, all of them are beautiful and talented, and you sisters are also outstanding in piano skills." Why don't you show it live? ”

This can also scare Wanhua, obviously when the other ladies came in, they just said a few words and left. Why did they ask to perform when it was their turn, was it because of Jinhua's belated relationship? Shaohua didn't answer, didn't want to respond, and didn't dare to refuse, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, Hongfang came out to relieve the siege: "Niangniang, it's better to let them perform after taking the table, I'm hungry." ”

"Hongfang, don't be rude." The third princess's words were still cold and indifferent, and she couldn't hear that she was reprimanding her son at all.

The imperial concubine didn't care, waved her hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my own negligence, a few of them are busy with official business outside, and it's because of Rouwan's girl that they deliberately took the time to come over, how can they be hungry." Command to go down and open the table. ”

At this time, Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at Shang Hongfang's smiling eyes, and felt very conflicted for a while.

According to etiquette, it should be the same seat as the younger siblings or sisters of the same age who have not left the cabinet, and the person who is in charge of the abbot. When the feast begins, the attendants get up, resign from the same table, and sit with their brothers and elders, that is, say goodbye to childishness and the meaning of growing up. However, although Rouwan is the eldest daughter of the emperor, the other younger brothers and sisters are all low-level concubines and are not qualified to participate at all, and the fourth prince Hongwei is unwell and did not come. So I omitted this and sat directly with my mother and brother.

The girls ate around the table, but their eyes were slanted to the only three men in the feast.

After lunch, I don't know who proposed that let the ladies come out to perform their skills, which can be regarded as a blessing to the eldest daughter of the emperor and Lu. This proposal was quickly agreed by most of them, and everyone scrambled to show themselves in front of the imperial concubine and the third princess. Everyone knows that this time more or less, there is a meaning of taking a concubine for Hongfang, although these people are not necessarily candidates today, but almost all the people on the list are gathered here.

Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, chanting, the girls are trying their best to express themselves. Because Song Yun was at the scene, some people gave up playing the piano, because there was this person who had been praised by the emperor, and they couldn't help but have a sense of getting an axe. It's just that more people are looking forward to Shaohua showing his skills, after all, that fighting skill is really amazing.

It's a pity that Shaohua didn't fulfill their wishes and deliberately dialed a few wrong notes. Although the song is just as fluent and pleasant, it seems to be missing something.

After playing a song, Shaohua got up to thank him, raised his eyes and saw a faint smile on Yan Kaizhi's mouth.

The imperial concubine did not praise or disparage, just smiled and nodded, after making trouble for a long time, she was already tired, and she didn't keep it much, so she asked people to notify all the families and governments to come and welcome the ladies back.

"In my opinion, this Li Shaohua is nothing special." Rouwan has changed out of the triple wide-sleeved dress, removed all kinds of hairpin rings, and only took a hosta and came to look for the imperial concubine. "She is not as beautiful as her sisters and sisters, her face is round, her eyes are round, and her body is round. The mouth is neat, but I heard that I grew up in the countryside, probably because I have no rules. ”

The imperial concubine reclined on the soft couch, her eyebrows were pale and her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping.

Suddenly, a pair of red lips opened lightly: "Do you think she has no rules today?" "The beautiful eyes are slightly drunk, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and she seems to be smiling," the Li family specially invited Mama Rong to be Mr. Boudoir, how could she teach a lady who does not have rules. If it weren't for the later gaffe, even Jinhua would have impressed her.

"Even so, it's nothing, more than her well-behaved lady. I look at Laneige very well! "Rouwan pushed the sisters in the boudoir.

The imperial concubine sighed, "Lanzhi grew up with you since she was a child, but her identity is not as good as yours, and the others should lose her." The implication is that Laneige and Shaohua are not of the same grade and cannot be compared.

Rouwan didn't care about this, and coquettishly next to her mother, "Isn't it that A-Niang has taken a fancy to her?" I thought she was not good, and I thought that I was excellent at the piano, but I was nervous and made mistakes again and again, wasting my expectations in vain. What stupidity! ”

The imperial concubine said, "Do you really think she is nervous and made a mistake?" A person who can answer calmly and clearly when she enters the palace with her head back, even if she is flustered, she will not even be wrong about her piano skills. The imperial concubine smiled meaningfully, "The people next to her are offering tricks, but she only cares about showing her clumsiness, which shows that she is an assertive lady." ”

Rouwan frowned, she really didn't find out where Shaohua was as good as her mother said.

At this time, the female officer came in and said, Hongyi came over to say goodbye. The imperial concubine nodded, Rouwan hurriedly helped her get up, went out of the inner room, and saw Hongyi, and the smile on the imperial concubine's face unfolded. This is all her hope, and for him, she has endured many ups and downs and grievances.

"A-Niang's spirit is better." Hongyi asked.

The imperial concubine shook her head and looked at Rouwan lovingly, "It's okay, it's just that I'm too old to endure it for so long." I'm just such a lady, no matter how tired it is, it's worth it. Rouwan felt that her eyes were a little moist, and the imperial concubine turned her head, looked at Hongyi and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's nothing, A-Niang has seen so many ladies today, do you have a favorite?" Hongyi was very much like his father when he laughed, which made the imperial concubine a little distracted.

However, she quickly replied, "Song Yun from the Marquis of Anqing Mansion is not bad, and her momentum can be suppressed, either with a show or a tree." There is also General Pingnan's family, although he is not brave enough, but he is quite eye-catching, and there are Prime Minister Zuo and the Zhenguo Mansion, which are all okay. As outsiders speculated, in addition to being a maid to the gentle ceremony, the other is to let the imperial concubine look at it.

It's just that the imperial concubine is not for Hongfang's palm, but for the nephews of the He family. After the daughter of General Dingguo, that is, the niece of the imperial concubine, married Hongyi, she volunteered to look at several Langjun of General Dingguo's family. You must know that one day, if Hongyi ascends to the throne, these people will be the pillars of the future country and the important ministers who will assist the government.

Although the emperor was reluctant to give the decree, the imperial concubine was eighty percent confident that this throne belonged to her son. In order to give him more peace of mind, and after he ascends to the throne in the future, the imperial concubine is very tight on the controllable chess pieces.

As everyone knows, Hongyi is not as deep as she thinks.

"What does A-Niang think of the five mothers in Li Ge's old mansion?" Hongyi took a sip of tea, and Rouwan immediately frowned, not understanding why Shaohua had become so popular, and everyone had to mention her.

"Do you have an idea?" The imperial concubine picked up the teacup, gently pushed away the tea, took a sip, swallowed it, and then asked.

Hongyi smiled and said: "I heard that she is quite close to Kaizhi, and Kaizhi is not young, I want to ......"

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, the imperial concubine interrupted him. "Hongfang also fell in love with her, and I heard that she also came to the door."

Hongyi frowned slightly, and complained, "There are too many Hongfang photos, can you accept them?" ”

The imperial concubine let out a leisurely breath, "Now the Three Princes' Mansion is still a risky move, there is no need to fight with them, if he likes it, he will go." "The main thing is Hongfang's step, which the emperor owes him, and the imperial concubine doesn't want to be unhappy with the Three Princes' Mansion on this point. This is left with two percent of the certainty, and the final decision is on the Three Kings' Mansion, or Hongfang.

"What about Kaizhi?" Hongyi was a little unhappy.

"Naturally, I won't lose him." The imperial concubine didn't care, and then changed the topic and pulled back to Hongyi, "You have been married for so long, as if there is no news yet?" Don't always think about other people's business, you are the most important thing. Anyway, Mr. has a son out, you look at Dalang, let his daughter-in-law take his son into the palace every once in a while, although your father is the most noble, but he is also a man, and he will also want to have fun with his family. ”

"I see." Hongyi's eyes sank, and he nodded in agreement.

Hearing her son's obedience, the imperial concubine smiled, "Now that you move out of the palace, it's not easy to come in, stay and eat together." ”

Hongyi put down the teacup and stood up, "I promise to go back." ”

The imperial concubine didn't stay, and immediately got up to see her off, "Then you should go back quickly, the palace door will be closed later." ”
