One hundred and five full moons
In front of the main hall of Yong'an Palace, a thick layer of felt mat was laid on the ground, and the two Shang Gong helped Xie Ning to kneel down on the felt mat, and the eunuch who came to announce the decree of the inner palace was already very old, and even his eyebrows were white, and he was still full of anger when he read the will, and his voice was loud. After he finished reading and Xie Ning thanked her, the two Shang Gong came over to help her stand up, and the others congratulated her and saluted.
After the decree was announced, the guests of Daohe also arrived. There are not many women from the clan, and all the concubines in the palace have come. Among such a group of beauties with their own merits, Chen Jieyu's beauty and style are still top-notch. She wore a silver-gray trimmed magenta embroidered Xiangyun palace dress, and underneath was a flowered hibiscus skirt, lined with snow-white skin, and her lips were rubbed with a touch of bright red, which made her lips look a little more and more cherry. If you want to say that she is chic, I am afraid that she is the most top-notch among the people who came to Yong'an Palace today.
It's a pity that Chen Jieyu's delicate dress was originally intended to show the emperor. She is conceited, beautiful and clever, as long as she can see the emperor, she will definitely be able to regain the emperor's favor. It's a pity that her news is not well informed in the past, today Yong'an Palace is just a small banquet, and the emperor took the second prince to the Qianqiu Palace. Her dress did not attract the favor of the emperor, but it attracted the envy of many others.
When Chen Jieyu came today, in fact, the palace maids around her also advised her not to dress up too eye-catching. Today is a good day for Yong'an Palace, even if Xie Jieyu is a big-hearted person again, Chen Jieyu is dressed too top-notch and steals her limelight, and it is inevitable that people will feel uncomfortable. There are three hundred and sixty days a year, and it doesn't matter if there is no sign of it, but on a good day for people to give birth to a son and be promoted, why can't they rush to show off their power at this time, right? Is that to congratulate or to make enemies?
But Chen Jieyu only thought that she couldn't miss today's opportunity, and she didn't listen to a word.
There are many guests who come, but Yong'an Palace has already prepared. The side hall couldn't greet so many guests, so he simply set up a shed in the back garden early, and the banquet was placed in the garden. At this time, it is already late spring and early summer, and the flowering period is at the end, but it looks brilliant and prosperous. The breeze is breezy under the flower shed, and the flowers outside the flower trellis are full of flowers, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and it is much stronger than setting up a banquet in the hall and being stuffy and crowded.
After Xie Ning received the order, she went back and changed her clothes, although today was a good day for her promotion, she did not wear red brocade, but an elegant apricot yellow embroidered butterfly flower and grass palace dress, under the snow skirt, in addition to the hairpin ornament on her head, she also brought a hanging bead to wipe her forehead. This forehead is newly made, and it is inlaid with jade that her uncle brought back from outside, a crystal white stone, not jade, and a smooth luster like moonlight, I heard that the locals call this moonstone, Xie Ning likes this, so he deliberately made jewelry to wear.
This gemstone had never been seen in the palace before, and Shainin immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as he wore it. No one took the liberty of asking her where the jewel came from, and in their minds, such a treasure was of course a reward from the emperor.
That look of envy and envy was on the faces of many people.
Chen Jieyu didn't come forward to talk to Xie Ning.
The first time she saw Xie Ning, she was just a small talent, and she was fortunate to be summoned by the emperor a few times. Chen Jieyu didn't really take it seriously when she went to Wangyun Pavilion, she was always like this, giving this kind of new head a little bit of power, showing off the prestige of her current favor.
In the past, those people swallowed their anger and avoided her, and Chen Jieyu's arrogance became more and more arrogant. She never even seriously thought about how she would deal with someone who was not afraid of her or even confronted her.
Xie Cairen was not afraid of her, and even stabbed her back in person, which made Chen Jieyu angry. She sued the emperor not only to breathe a sigh of relief, but also to preserve her status and dignity. If such a small talent doesn't take her in his eyes and is safe and sound afterwards, then who will still treat her as a Jieyu in the future?
But unexpectedly, the complaint was sued, and Xie Cairen's holy favor became more prosperous, and he was successfully promoted to a beauty.
Although no one in the palace laughed at her face-to-face, Chen Jieyu felt that countless people were pointing fingers and sneering behind her back.
After the hand stove incident, her personal palace maid committed suicide, and Chen Jieyu was locked up for a month, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling in Chen Jieyu's heart when she came out again.
They must have thought she had fallen out of favor, and although no one had stepped on her head yet, that day would not be too far away.
The more this happens, the more she can't fall down the shelf, which makes people see the decline.
However, after more than a year of hard work, Xie Cairen has become Xie Jieyu, and the momentum of Jinfeng is even faster than that of her back then. What's more, she Jieyu has fallen out of favor, but Xie Jieyu has just given birth to a prince, and it is time for the sun to shine.
Chen Jieyu watched a bunch of people come forward to curry favor with Xie Jieyu, it turned out that the location of the center should be hers.
Under the sun, the unknown gemstone jewelry on Xie Jieyu's head had a shining and soft light like flowing water, and the misty halo made it almost impossible to see her face. That is the sign of favor, and it is also the light of the stars holding the moon, and it is the limelight that Chen Jieyu can't catch up with no matter how stunning she is.
On the pavilion across the water in the garden, the servants of the Teaching Workshop Division are showing their strengths, not to mention singing, dancing, playing and singing, and there are also people performing rope plays, juggling, fire plays and other thrilling and wonderful tricks, which is rare in the palace to be so lively. The palace people shuttle back and forth, pouring tea and serving dishes, like butterflies fluttering back and forth among the flowers.
Today, after discussing this dish with Xie Ning, the food supervisor made three lists, and finally chose one of them. There are hardly many meat dishes and dishes, and there are no stewpots and the like. The weather is too hot, people are also impetuous, and getting some big fish and meat is just for people to see, and no one will eat it at all.
Most of the dishes on today's table are cold dishes, hot dishes and soup dishes are mainly vegetarian dishes, stewed bird's nest cups for one person, tofu soup, melon dishes and so on are also served in this way. The last sweet soup to come up is sherbet. In this kind of weather, the sherbet in the palace is often chilled, and it is refreshing. But the sherbet today is warm. It's really not as pleasant to drink as cold, but after drinking it, it feels very comfortable.
Xie Ning was a little worried about the second prince, and he was taken away for a long time, although the two nurses followed, and the two old Shanggong took care of him, so he should be fine. But she just felt very uncomfortable that her hands and hearts were empty.
She misses her children.
It's only been so short since we were separated, and I started to miss it, what should I do when the child is older and really wants to study and move out of Yong'an Palace? At that time, it would be nice to see each other once a day and talk for a while.
Chen Jieyu knew that the emperor would not come, so she kept a cold face and didn't speak. She didn't talk to others, and naturally no one took the initiative to find her. Although he was also sitting in the crowd, he was alone and alone, not to mention the awkwardness in his heart.
Fortunately, the person sitting next to her is not the person who had a relationship with her in the past, but there is not much friendship.
Shi Shunyi has no conflict with anyone, this person is docile and quiet, not like a high-ranking concubine at all, some people often say behind her back that she is a palace maid, even if she becomes a master, she is still a slave.
In the past, Chen Jieyu didn't pay attention to people like Shi Shunyi, but now fortunately, this person is sitting next to her, so she is more comfortable. Chen Jieyu didn't speak, Shi Shunyi basically didn't make a sound, and the two only said a few words from beginning to end. That is, the soup is good, the soup tastes refreshing, and so on.
Sitting like this, Chen Jieyu had nothing to say, pointed to the dense flowers like a pile of snow that were blooming not far away and said, "This flower is blooming well." ”
Shi Shunyi turned his head to look at it and said softly, "This is Bei Chunhua." ”
Chen Jieyu asked: "What is Beichun Flower?" ”
On the side, Cao Shunrong interjected in a loud voice: "When the flowers are finished, as soon as the flowers bloom, the spring will be over." ”
It turned out to be a tulip flower. Chen Jieyu has heard of it, but she has never seen it before. She just asked in passing, but she didn't expect to ask this.
As soon as she heard that it was this flower, how could Chen Jieyu feel so awkward in her heart, she always felt that this flower was not a good sign, and turned her face to pretend to enjoy the song and dance.
Cao Shunrong is also one of the few talented women in the palace, and she is also quite proficient in the art of music, and said while listening to the music: "There is a person who is good at pipa in the teaching workshop today I don't know if she has come, I remember that she has a long song that is very beautiful."
Shi Shunyi said: "But Zhao Ling? ”
Cao Shunrong nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
"She's just a good long-running water, and she listens comfortably. Playing the others has a kind of golden drum to fight, which makes people feel uneasy. ”
"Yang Quanshi has been old and lacking in energy in the past few years, and I heard that his apprentice's flute fire has become blue."
Chen Jieyu can also insert two sentences in these words, but she feels less uncomfortable than at the beginning.
Separated by the palace walls, Yanning Palace and Yong'an Palace are not far away, the sound of music is light and fluttering with the wind, and the concubine sitting in the side hall of Yanning Palace raised her head slightly, and her withered face showed a strange expression.
If others see it, they will not dare to believe it or recognize it, the concubine who looked plump and fresh like a bloom a month ago, has lost weight like this in just one month, it is simply unrecognizable.
"Where's the music?" Today is not a day of festivities.
Without waiting for the palace maid Biyue who was guarding the side to reply, Concubine Shu remembered herself: "Is it Yong'an Palace?" Is it a full moon feast today? ”
Biyue replied cautiously: "We are close to Yong'an, it must be from over there." ”
"Full moon feast, so soon, it's already a full moon." Concubine Shu's fingers were intertwined, and her nails, which were originally three inches long, were broken, and she had no intention of maintaining them. The emperor didn't abuse her, but the food she sent tasted like chewing wax, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she had nightmares, she saw Princess Yuyao being bullied wantonly in a place she couldn't see, and she also saw the Lin family's house collapse, and the family was ruined, such silent torture made her so thin that even Biyue didn't dare to recognize her in a month.
