Two hundred and seven toasts
"I'm probably going to disperse later, so if you come back first, rest first. 81 Chinese 1 8. δΈ8ζ1ε «Z Chinese. TEXT COM"
Xie Ning habitually wanted to nod her head, but as soon as her head moved, the bead hairpin rings collided with each other with a pleasant crisp sound, and she had to stop: "The concubine knows." Don't drink too much wine, if it's too late, don't go back to Yong'an Palace, just rest in Changning Palace. β
"Just a few steps." The emperor took a smooth look at her collar: "But if it's too late, I won't come to bother you." β
Xie Ning sent the emperor to the door, and reluctantly confessed a few more words. Qing Yan stood on the side of the screen where the emperor was standing just now, pursed his lips, and looked at the concubine and the emperor standing at the door of the palace.
The emperor is so heroic and majestic, but he is so gentle and affectionate.
The concubine is really blessed......
The eldest prince and the second prince were all led away by Bai Hongqi, and they left together on the emperor's step. And Xie Ning is the only one left here with Princess Yuyao to accompany her. Princess Yuyao also wore a brand-new willow yellow brocade palace dress, with a fox fur cloak on her head, and a little cinnabar red on her eyebrows.
"Our princess is just like the one on the painting."
Qinghe smiled and said, "The painting is not so good-looking." β
The cloak wrapped around Xie Ning was exactly the same as that of Princess Yuyao, and it was specially made by the Needlework Bureau and sent it, saying that it was ordered by the emperor.
Princess Yuyao looked at Xie Ning with her head slightly sideways, and Xie Ning asked her with a smile: "Does it look good to wear like this?" β
Princess Yuyao said seriously: "It's good-looking." β
Xie Ning smiled and took her hand and stepped up together.
Qinghe needs to follow and serve, and everything can only wait for the banquet.
When she was serving her master to change clothes just now, Qingyan was distracted, and Qinghe didn't think much about it at that time. VIII 1 Chinese Netnet VIII. VIII 8 1
But after the emperor arrived, Qinghe had one thing.
Qing Yan's eyes seemed to be a little wrong.
Slaves and maids should not look up in front of their masters, and they were taught on the first day they entered the palace that they should not look up and face their masters, which is rudeness. Except for the master to ask them to look up, and when they need to look up when they are waiting, they have to lower their eyes at other times, and they don't have their presence in front of the masters.
Qing Yan's expression and gaze just now were definitely getting better.
This girl wouldn't have any thoughts she shouldn't have, would she?
That's right, the emperor is good, and Qinghe also admits that even if he is not the emperor, his appearance, demeanor, talent and ability are far beyond human comparison.
But that is the emperor, they are the palace maids of the noble concubine, and they must not have that kind of unsightly mind.
If the emperor himself has a crush on someone, it is because of the smoke coming out of her ancestral tomb. But if you dare to be delusional, you don't have to do it with your master, and Gonggong Zhou and Fang Shanggong can clean up people quietly.
Qing He could only bury this matter in her heart first, but she had already decided that as soon as the palace banquet was over tonight, she would have to figure out what Qing Yan was thinking about in her heart, and then pinch it as early as possible when this matter first started.
The lights in the Qingfeng Hall shine high, and the courtyard in the hall is reflected as daylight.
Shainin remembered what happened during the Chinese New Year last year.
At that time, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian were still there, she was pregnant, and she fainted when she was about to leave the table because of the hand stove...... Then she never returned to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and then moved directly into Yong'an Palace.
It turned out to be a year.
No, she had a strange feeling at the same time.
Was it only a year?
There are too many things she encountered this year, she became a mother, and there were more princes and princesses Yuyao around her, and she encountered things like Princess Mingshou's rebellion, and she became a concubine. Bayi Chinese Net Bawen. VIII 8 1 VIII Z a. Net C text O M
Xie Ning took Princess Yuyao's hand and walked into Fengqing Palace.
The seat in the middle and the best position is, of course, hers, and on the left and right are the positions of Concubine Shen and Concubine Jin. This arrangement is really helpless, Xie Ning and the two of them have nothing to say. It's not as good as last year, although she sits on the side, leaning back to the corner, but the relationship between her and Li Zhaorong Liang Meiren was still harmonious at that time.
Princess Yuyao sat with Xie Ning.
By the time Xie Ning arrived, there were almost all the people inside. This is already a routine, in the past, Shainin was also the one who came early to wait for the opening of the table, and now she is qualified to let others wait here for her arrival.
Xie Ning took Princess Yuyao's hand and entered the palace gate, and all the people in the hall, whether she was familiar with it or not, standing close or far away, saluted together to welcome the concubine.
Xie Ning raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, today is the New Year, everyone sits down and talks and has fun, no need to be formal, be sure to have fun at will." β
After Xie Ning took a seat, he could start the banquet, the courtyard in front of the hall set up a cloth canopy, the silk and bamboo drum music sounded, and the "Greeting the New Year" was played, and those people wearing red and green sang and danced, and the scene was very lively.
Everything seems to be the same as it was last year, the music played and the songs sung.
It's the people who sit in the seats.
Xie Ning took care of Princess Yuyao and didn't let her eat cold things, while looking at these people at the table.
I haven't seen Gao Jieyu for a few days, she hasn't said a word to Concubine Shen from the beginning today, and she doesn't even look at her. It seems that Gao Jieyu and Concubine Shen have formed a feud since Chongyang, this is not true, at least Gao Jieyu is holding a grudge against humiliation.
If someone else made Gao Jieyu ugly, maybe she wouldn't be so resentful. But this humiliation comes from Concubine Shen, who has always been very humble in front of her, and in front of so many people. Gao Jieyu's hatred is only afraid that it will be remembered for a long, long time.
Cao Shunrong sat on Concubine Jin's side, Concubine Jin didn't bring Princess Jade out at all, saying that Princess Jade Jue had coughed again in the past two days, couldn't go out to blow the wind, and went to bed early when it was dark. Cao Shunrong looked at Princess Yuyao who was sitting next to the concubine, and then thought about the impenetrable Princess Yuyao who was protected by Concubine Jin, and felt really emotional in her heart.
Needless to say, just such a comparison makes a judgment. The concubine really knows how to raise children, and the three children are well raised, and in today's scene, the concubine also brought Princess Yuyao generously, and did not have a grudge against her because of the matter of Concubine Shu, and tabooed her from appearing in front of people.
During the banquet, several concubines toasted to the concubine, which is also common sense. In the past, it was a concubine who sat in this position, but now it has been replaced by a concubine. People have changed, but the etiquette and customs have not changed.
Concubine Jin sat on Xie Ning's right hand, which made her very uncomfortable. She thought she could sit on the left. This arrangement is unclear, does Concubine Shen want to be a step higher than her?
So when she wanted to toast after the banquet, Concubine Jin preemptively toasted the concubine once.
The wine used at the banquet is suitable for the concubines to drink osmanthus wine, rose wine, etc., and the fragrance of flowers is better than the aroma of wine. Even so, Shainin didn't dare to drink it, she knew that her alcohol consumption was not good. However, the toast turned out to be a formality, even if she just stood up and made a show, no one dared to find fault with her.
Concubine Shen didn't seem to care about Concubine Jin's preemption, and after Concubine Jin, she also toasted to Concubine Guifei once, and the auspicious words she said didn't have much new meaning, similar to previous years. In fact, Xie Ning felt that maybe they would say the same auspicious words as a toast every year. But for Shainin, it was the first time she had heard it anyway, and it was quite fresh.
At this time last year, she didn't have the qualifications to toast to Concubine Shu, but this year......
Xie Ning turned his head sideways and glanced at Princess Yuyao.
She was holding a kumquat and watching the song and dance in front of her intently.
After Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen, it was Gao Jieyu who came over to toast. Cao Shunrong, Li Zhaorong and others also followed.
There are really not many concubines in the emperor, and the Fengqing Hall is spacious, and the seating arrangements in this hall are also very relaxed. So it was, and the temple was not full. can count, there are names and surnames, just a dozen people.
Compared with the record of pampering 300 different beauties a year during the time of the first emperor, today's saint can be said to be as pure as a saint.
Chen Jieyu is dressed up decently, not as bright as her previous favorite preferences, but also chic. Her bun was curled like a cirrus cloud, and she wore a pearled flower with silver branches and jade stamens, which looked silver in the light of bright candles, like stars embedded in the night.
In terms of appearance, Chen Jieyu is indeed a well-deserved beauty. It's just that compared with when Xie Ning first saw her, there is no longer the brazenness and wanton of the time, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes reveal a sense of resentment.
Chen Jieyu could guess what Xie Ning was thinking. Xie Ning took the position, Chen Jieyu fell out of favor, the two had a grudge because of a pot of camellia at the beginning, Chen Jieyu was grounded because of her, and then fell out of favor, Chen Jieyu didn't hate her in her heart.
"The concubine will pour a cup for the concubine." Chen Jieyu's voice also revealed a grievance and delicate energy. She walked to the front of the banquet, picked up the pot and filled Xie Ning's wine glass, and served Shaining with wine in both hands: "The concubine was ignorant from the past, and she offended her mother a lot, but now I think back that it is really difficult day and night." I also hope that the lady will not care about the villain, be lenient, and don't worry about the concubine. The concubine wishes the mother all the best in the New Year and her youth for a long time. β
Her strength made Xie Ning's goosebumps rise one after another, and she was uncomfortable.
Chen Jieyu is really not a master of acting, her demeanor is so unwilling, at a glance, she knows that what she said and what she did was against her will, just because Xie Ning was a concubine, and because Xie Ning was favored, she had to please her.
This is almost written on her face, do you still expect Shainin to take her words seriously? Is it really enough to release the suspicion with her?
Chen Jieyu drank all the wine in her cup, and then lifted the pot and poured herself a glass: "The concubine is now confused about what she did in the past, and she regrets what she said bastardly. I will not make the same mistake again. β
She tilted her head and took another drink.
Xie Ning also tasted it at this time.
Chen Jieyu, is this an apology or a forced palace?
What does this mean?
