333 Congratulations
This time the concubine gave birth to the prince, and the atmosphere in the palace was particularly strange. ε «δΈδΈβζη½γ β .β8 1β z β. οΌ£ ο½ οΌβ
Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen were both bedridden. The gate of Yanfu Palace was closed, and people passing by were eager to take a detour. Shoukang Palace is just the opposite, because the concubine Princess Yujun is sick, the imperial doctor goes in and out all day long, and it is not a secret that the emperor beat the Shang Palace of the eldest prince to take care of Princess Yujun, and everyone in the palace knows it.
Comparing the two sides, Shoukang Palace is really sick, and Yanfu Palace is obviously different.
The big joy of Yong'an Palace, Concubine Jin's side is the master of Marshang Palace, and she sent a generous gift to congratulate the concubine. Concubine Shen also sent it, but this gift was sent directly by the inner palace eunuch, and it was all the inner palace eunuchs who took the order of Grandpa Bai.
This made the rest of the palace mutter.
The two concubines didn't go to Yong'an Palace to congratulate, so should they go? Or is it the same as Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen, and the courtesy is not enough?
But there was a reason why they didn't go. Concubine Jin is really sick, and the illness is not light, I heard that I can't get out of bed these days, otherwise how would the emperor send people from Yong'an Palace to take care of Princess Yujue?
And Concubine Shen ...... Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, most people can guess a few points. The Daughter's Day Palace Banquet was the last time Concubine Shen appeared in front of people, and there was a death at the palace banquet, and since then, Concubine Shen has been "sick" and has never taken half a step out of Yanfu Palace.
Some people guessed that the emperor did not dispose of Concubine Shen in order to accumulate blessings for the concubine and the child in her womb. When this child falls to the ground, I am afraid that Concubine Shen will live to the end.
Some people also guessed that for the sake of decency, the emperor imprisoned Concubine Shen in this way, which in itself is an extremely harsh punishment - Concubine Shen can't see people in her life, and she can't leave Yanfu Palace, which is equivalent to entering the cold palace, so that life is not necessarily better than death, and it can even be said that life is better than death, how to survive the first few decades?
Some people also speculate that maybe Concubine Shen has already been secretly executed, but it is only because the emperor has other plans that the news of Concubine Shen's death is kept secret, and now the Yanfu Palace, where the palace door is closed all day, is actually empty, and someone is just making a show every day.
Gao Jieyu sent someone to inquire about the news early in the morning, and heard that Princess Yuejun and others had come, and Princess Mingwei also came, so she quickly packed up and dressed up, and brought someone to Yong'an Palace.
I haven't gone out for a few days, and when Gao Jieyu was dressing up and changing clothes, she was a little overwhelmed in front of the mirror.
She has been a long time, she has not seen the emperor for a long time, and she has not been summoned. As the saying goes, a woman is a person who pleases herself, and she can't see the emperor, and she is dressed in white.
Especially in the past year or so, Gao Jieyu has experienced many turmoil, where can she have the leisure to dress up seriously?
Danxia put down the wooden plate, which contained six or seven boxes of different styles.
"These are all sent this month, master, try it?" Danxia opened a box and held it closer to Gao Jieyu: "Look at the color of this rouge, how positive." You can smell this aroma, how strong it is. β
Seeing that Gao Jieyu didn't speak, Danxia changed another box: "This is a newly made powder, which is particularly smooth." She also deliberately picked out a little and gently wiped it on the back of Gao Jieyu's hand: "You try, what do you think?" β
Gao Jieyu also understands her intentions.
But how old is she? Standing with the concubine, even if you apply all the best fat powder in the world to your face, it can't be compared.
But today I went to Yong'an Palace to congratulate, and the emperor added another prince, which is a great joy in the palace. On such a happy day, he is not to congratulate others, but to add to people's blockage.
For the sake of face, you also have to dress up.
Danxia combed her bun on the one hand, and picked up what Gao Jieyu liked to hear.
"Master, it's beautiful today. Don't look at Concubine Jin and Concubine Shen in the past year, but what about now? So last time I persuaded my master, it was good, right? We don't need to rush, let alone take risks, they will toss themselves down. β
Gao Jieyu smiled.
She loves to hear what Danxia said.
Since she was humiliated by Concubine Shen in Yanfu Palace, the thing that Gao Jieyu longed for the most became to trample Concubine Shen under her feet.
In the past, the queen and concubine Shu did not humiliate her, but there has never been a time when Gao Jieyu was so unbearable.
Because Concubine Shen was inferior to her everywhere in the past, but once she turned over and stepped on her head.
There is another reason, Gao Jieyu will not admit it anyway.
People are not plants and trees, after so many years of getting along, Gao Jieyu has long been accustomed to having such a quiet and obedient companion by her side. When I was in the palace, I didn't know each other, but after entering the palace, especially after the queen was gone, Concubine Shen was like a master of the six gods, and she was anxious to find a new backer. At that time, she and Gao Jieyu got closer and closer, and Gao Jieyu despised her on the one hand, and on the other hand, she did give her some shelter when others wanted to bully her.
No matter how complicated the reason is, there are still a few traces of affection in the middle that are true.
But Gao Jieyu finally understood that she had never seen Concubine Shen's true face from beginning to end.
She was deceived by the sturdiness.
The silent and docile Shi Shunyi in her impression never really existed.
"Master, this hairpin is good, isn't it?"
Gao Jieyu took it and took a look: "Don't want this, I want that begonia flower." β
The concubine takes the lead, likes elegant and plain makeup and clothing, and the palace people like it or not, they all follow it.
Gao Jieyu didn't want to learn from her, anyway, she was at this age, and the emperor wouldn't look back to spoil her no matter how much she studied. It's just that everyone else learns, and she is the only one with heavy makeup and glamorous decorations, as if she intends to go against the concubine.
That's the way it is in the palace, you can't do it against the top. Just like the emperor doesn't like extravagance, no one in the palace dares to waste things, at least not on the surface. When the Queen Mother was there, she was particularly fond of listening to flattery, and many people prepared flattering clichΓ©s, and when they saw the Queen Mother, they all competed to please her.
Not everyone wants to get benefits from the Queen Mother, but at least you can't let the Queen Mother hate you in her heart.
Danxia chose two small hairpins for Gao Jieyu, and said with a smile: "This hairpin is chic and not ostentatious, and the master's vision is better than that of a slave." β
She spoke, but Gao Jieyu did not respond.
She suddenly felt that something was very important, and she quickly passed through it in her heart, but when she thought about it seriously, she couldn't remember it.
"Master? Do you think that's going to work? β
Gao Jieyu glanced at the mirror and nodded absentmindedly: "It's good." β
Danxia took the lilac shawl with clothes and put it on for Gao Jieyu, and waited for her to go out to Yong'an Palace.
Of course, it was not only Gao Jieyu who came over today, but everyone in the palace who had that dignity came over.
