Chapter Eighty-Four: Piano, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting Can't, But!
Qing Yezhuo is getting more and more slaves.
This man who gathers thousands of people in the world, just a book saying that it is inevitable that the people and money will be thrifty, so the simple and simple birthday banquet has shrunk by more than half. It's just that these big and small officials are suffering, how should the gift be sent?
They didn't know the emperor's thoughts, just to prevent someone from having a chance to make trouble, plus their own little wife had to hold it in their mouths for fear of being seen by others. I just thought that the emperor got his idea from somewhere, if this is really the case, then this gift can't give some gold and silver things, but after all, it's something in the palace, you can't take it out of your hand!
Before Tao Yao arrived, this hall was filled with people, Qing Yezhuo did not invite foreign people, even Qing Siyi and Qing Tianhao were not nearby, but the two countries and these two still sent people to salute in advance, and the vacant position of this hall added a lot of ministers' families.
"Do you know the new princess?"
"Yes!"
"Huh? What kind of person, I heard that it's just a civilian woman. ”
"What a civilian woman, this woman is amazing. Let me tell you, after she entered the palace, the emperor stayed for three days and three nights! ”
"Then she and the former Peach Princess—"
"Tao Yao'er is quite a beauty, but everyone who has seen this new concubine in this palace says that she looks the same as the peach concubine who went!"
"Huh?!"
"Be quiet, don't let anyone hear it. This lady is no better than the old ......."
"What do you know?"
"I've heard that this lady is amazing. As soon as he entered the palace and was sealed as a concubine, he gave the palace a downward spiral, and specially went to the cold palace to insult him——"
"Really?"
"It's true! The girl next to me and a maidservant in the palace are twin sisters, and this can't be wrong! ”
"What are you guys! It has been spread all over this palace, and this lady is jealous because she can't give birth. In the past, there was an accident before the child was born, and there is no heir in Beigao Dao now, I heard that if anyone gave birth to a child, it would be the prince of the dynasty! ”
"Huh? Originally, I thought that Concubine Rou would definitely be the queen, but this time there is a very favorite lady, it's a pity! ”
"What a pity, I said this is fate!"
"Don't say it, if you listen to it, it's not a small sin!"
Although the whole hall is not as beautiful as the night pearl of the previous years, but it is also a splendid and luxurious, the three or three people who sat down whispered and talked until the main lord arrived one by one, and then turned his eyes to them.
"Concubine Rou has arrived—"
"Graceful people have arrived—"
"Noble Luo has arrived—"
The three of them are brightly dressed, one is very feminine, one is delicate, and the other is clear and pure. The three of them sat together, since Jiang Shaoqing became a concubine, the gentle temperament on her body dissipated, and the indifference she showed seemed to be scattered from her bones. It is Luo Xin, who has been in the deep palace for a long time, although she came out of the ceremony after the peach was sealed, but she was not claustrophobic in the cold palace, but people became more and more cold.
"The emperor has arrived--his Peach Concubine has arrived-" What made everyone divert their attention was that the current emperor directly took Concubine Tao's hand and appeared, but Concubine Tao did not sit down, but sat directly on the dragon chair, which made everyone shocked.
"The ministers are brave, the emperor's birthday banquet is supposed to be celebrated by the whole country, if there is a yin color to accompany it, this is unreasonable." In the next moment, a courtier stepped forward to advise.
"What does Aiqing mean that I don't have the right to decide who can sit here?" Qing Yezhuo's voice was much colder, and people couldn't help but shiver.
"That's not what the minister meant, it's just—" The courtier insisted on admonishing.
"Aiqing doesn't need to say much, it's a day of celebration, you can do whatever you want." Qing Yezhuo interrupted the other party's words and said lightly, but the tone was clear and unquestionable.
"Yes." The courtier hesitated for a moment, but then retreated.
None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have seen this new concubine, and the most surprised is Liang Gaoliang, he is suspicious and ashamed of Tao Yaoyao, this contradiction makes him feel unbearable, but today he saw this woman and Tao Yaoyao look almost the same, but his mind is blank, I don't know why. Of course, he knew that she was not the one who died in the fire that day, but the edge of the cliff was gone, and his hope gradually weakened after such a long time.
Tao Xiaoyao is also helpless, I wanted to quietly pretend to be an X, who knew that this product was too high-profile, and I couldn't wait to announce it to the world, which directly shattered her little wish.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu is right. The ministers were frightened, and the peach concubine did not salute and sealed the edict, not with the etiquette. Your Majesty, for the sake of the mother, it is always necessary to check the internal affairs department, and it is good to ...... the mother."
"You mean, this palace is just a wild girl in Nansu, and she is not worthy of being this imperial concubine, is it?" Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, Tao Yaoyao directly interrupted her words, and her feelings were even rougher than Qing Yezhuo.
"Weichen is just expressing his opinion, and please forgive me." It seems that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't talk about her in their eyes, too, after all, she is a civilian girl with no backing, who wouldn't dare to bully her?
Liang Gaoliang still didn't speak, and Mingyue, Jiang Huai, Langsheng and others didn't speak, and Jiang Huai even looked at Tao Yao with doubt and disbelief on his face.
"This palace doesn't want to forgive, it's hard to be a minister if you treat others like you." Tao Yaoyao opened her mouth gently, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was cruel.
"Come on, remove the official position, and hand it over to the Criminal Department." Tao Yaoyao then whispered two words in Qing Ye Zhuo's ear, and Qing Ye Zhuo frowned, and then gave the order.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! Such a demon girl has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the emperor has seen it! The courtier didn't expect things to turn around like this, crying and shouting on the one hand, and hating Tao Yao on the other hand.
Tao Yaoyao didn't sympathize with him at all, who was greedy and who was clear in this Manchu Dynasty, she had already checked through Xianchi Tower, and naturally knew the details of this person. Not to mention that he has been in cahoots with Li Mingtao for so long, even the money he was greedy for was enough to kill him. It's just that on the big day, she doesn't want to make a big move.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song is loyal to the court, if the emperor is for the sake of the family, it may be difficult to convince the public!" Lord Yu, who was choked back by his words before, opened his mouth.
Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips, it was clearly a gang.
"What does Aiqing mean that I don't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and I am vainly compassionate?" Qing Ye Zhuo didn't laugh angrily.
"I don't dare." Lord Yu lowered his head, as if he was a little weak-hearted.
"On the day of the spring equinox, Lord Song received 10,000 taels of gold from Gu Zhixian, the prince of Nansu, which was used to directly connect the twelve locks on both sides of the estuary, and these twelve boats were full of swords and halberds. Lord Song, have you forgotten what this palace said? It doesn't matter, when the imperial examination was reopened, Lord Song treated Qingzi harshly and charged two silver taels, could it be that he also forgot? Tao Xiaoyao continued and said slowly.
"This is a false accusation, Your Majesty! Wechen is wronged! Weichen is wronged! After hearing this, Lord Song's body trembled violently, but he still didn't give up, although this girl didn't know how to know in his heart, it was definitely just hearsay without any evidence.
"It doesn't matter if Lord Song forgets it, as long as the concubine you raised in the western suburbs doesn't forget it." Tao Yaoyao sneered.
Lord Song sat on the ground and looked at her blankly, not knowing how he was erected out of the hall by the guards. And in the main hall, there was silence at this time, and everyone speculated in their hearts, who is this woman?
"Lord Yu?" After seeing that the people were taken away, Tao Yao looked at the one who was still standing in the temple with a smile.
"Weichen ......" Lord Yu didn't know what to say, as if everything he said just now was a slap in the face.
"Lord Yu, didn't you forget to remind this palace too?" Tao Yaoyao tilted her head and reminded kindly.
"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare!" Lord Yu hurriedly glanced at Tao Yaoyao, hurriedly returned to his original position, and almost fell on the edge of his seat.
"Your Majesty, today is a day of great joy, so let the concubines present a song to congratulate." Jiang Shaoqing stood up smartly, and what he said directly eased the embarrassing atmosphere at that time.
Qing Yezhuo nodded slightly, Jiang Shaoqing took out the guzheng as if nothing had happened just now, and sat in front of the zither Su finger lightly plucked the strings.
Tao Yaoyao looked at her like this, and her heart was even more shameless. Not to mention that this piano is her original, and this is how it is also an imitation of her, is it that she even abandoned herself for a man who doesn't love herself, and would rather pretend to be another person? Or even someone you hate?
The sound of the piano is like an empty valley orchid, flourishing and solitary, quite a bit of peach dying. Since the day when Tao Yao died, this piano has slowly spread out, and it seems that Jiang Shaoqing has been practicing for a long time.
Everyone is still in the sound of this piano has an endless aftertaste, Jiang Shaoqing has already sat back in place, and when everyone turned back, there were already a lot of dancing girls in the hall, and the noble people were caught in it, like a bright moon shining in the sky, Tsing Yi was dwelling, and thousands of silver threads swayed gently along the waist line with the waist.
Tao Yaoyao watched it with great interest, as if she was watching a play in a drama theater, not to mention that this song and dance is not comparable to those ordinary actors, this is a national level. Qing Yezhuo also peeled a few grapes or stuffed them into her mouth from time to time, which can be described as leisurely and uncomfortable.
After a few shows, Tao Yaoyao couldn't wait to applaud, and Qing Yezhuo looked at her dotingly, gently wiping the food stains from the corners of her mouth. And this scene happened to be seen by Jiang Shaoqing, and she was full of jealousy, but she couldn't face it, so she had to give Li Wanfeng a look.
Li Wanfeng was also depressed, although this person jumped into the pit that he had carefully prepared, he was not injured at all, and sat in the pit well. She saw Jiang Shaoqing's eyes, then turned to Tao Yaoyao and opened her mouth with a smile.
"The emperor's birthday is happy, Niangniang must have carefully prepared a congratulatory gift, Wanfeng is curious, I don't know what Niangniang is preparing?" After Li Wanfeng finished speaking, everyone looked at this woman in unison, and even Qing Yezhuo couldn't help but look at her curiously.
"This gift from this palace is not as pleasing to the eyes as the sisters' sadness, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to see it." Tao Yaoyao replied lightly.
"Niangniang laughed, Niangniang is so intelligent, she must have transcendent talents." Li Wanfeng couldn't wait to hold the peach to the sky, so that she could fall even worse.
"However, this palace can neither play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor sing and dance." Tao Yaoyao shook her head and said with some embarrassment.
And some of the young ladies present couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, who in this hall is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, this woman doesn't know anything, it's also funny.
"The mother laughed." Li Wanfeng was proud in her heart, civilians are civilians, how can they be compared with them.
"However, if everyone insists on watching it, it will be a great gift from the palace to the emperor, and I wish Beigao a prosperous era and eternal green!" Tao Yaoyao stood up, and what she said was magnificent, although simple, but not to be underestimated.
