Chapter 36: The Waves
Wang Rong and the clothes that went to the banquet found a water-green pleated skirt, with Ai Qing's white jacket, a long tooth-white gown, and a carmine belt around the waist. [Full text reading. The incense balls that are pressed and filled with incense pills are all selected silver products, purses embroidered with silver threads, long tassels of gradient green on white jade pendants, and clothes and skirts embroidered with wormwood ornaments. Yang Jingru touched the ornament, "It's pretty good to look at wormwood like this." ”
"There are so many clothes to be made in a year, the flowers and birds are not enough to embroider, find some that are not commonly used in embroidery, but there are new ideas." Wang Ronghe said.
"But sister, if you wear this color to the banquet, will it be too plain?" Yang Jingru said.
Wang Ronghe smiled, tied his hair on the top of his head, tied it all with a white jade lotus crown, and asked Xi Tao to find out the golden hairpin rewarded by His Majesty, and found the Sendai hairpin and inserted it on the side of the hair crown. The tassels of the gold flakes swayed at the earlobes, and the golden light flowed.
When Xi Tao was about to take the phoenix hairpin to Wang Ronghe and the hairpin, Wang Ronghe said no, "One hairpin is enough." ”
"At first, I didn't think it would be good to wait for my sister to put on this golden hairpin." Yang Jingru said, "The golden hairpin rewarded by His Majesty is too delicate and gorgeous, and the bright colors of the clothes are too rich, Zhou Yuting has always dressed up like this, and my sister collided with her." ”
"I'm not afraid of colliding with her, it's just a small banquet, we're all show girls now, it's not good to be too public." Wang Ronghe said. Zhu Yijun is going to attend the banquet, and if he doesn't bring his reward, he doesn't know what will happen to the cautious one. His Majesty's reward for the golden hairpin is already a great outstanding, if she wears it gorgeously, I don't know what kind of villain it is in the eyes of others.
Wang Ronghe looked at the makeup mirror, drew his eyebrows and made up, his eyebrows were painted with eyebrow peaks, and the eyeliner was painted a little longer.
"My sister's painting is better than the palace maid's." Yang Jingru said.
"Then I'll draw it for you?" Wang Ronghe said, "Have you believed me? ”
"Why can't you believe it?" Yang Jingru said with a smile.
When the time came, Wang Ronghe led the show girl to Cining Palace, and the show girl who danced at the banquet went to Cining Palace earlier, Wang Ronghe and other show girls asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, His Majesty also came, passing by Wang Ronghe is paused, looked at the golden hairpin on her head, and bent the corners of his mouth meaninglessly.
Wang Ronghe sat down calmly, and Empress Dowager Chen asked her with a smile, "Are you all well?" ”
"Empress Dowager Xie is worried, and her body is fine." Wang Ronghe said.
"This is the hairpin that Your Majesty rewarded you, it looks better than the one your aunt chose." As soon as Empress Dowager Chen said this, the eyes of the women present all looked at Wang Ronghe neatly, "The mourning family looks at the beautiful hairpin, and everyone is more beautiful." ”
Wang Ronghe touched the hairpin on his head shyly, bowed his head and did not speak.
"Your Majesty is eccentric, such a beautiful hairpin, the concubine also wants it." Guo Concubine said coquettishly.
"What's so difficult about this, I'll let Feng Shang send you to the palace later." Zhu Yijun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Guo said with a smile on her face. glanced at Wang Ronghe, and said, Why did a person who His Majesty like suddenly come out. Feng Shang has been serving in front of His Majesty for so long, but he still sees the wind and rain, and he has no vision at all.
This time, the show girl looked at Wang Ronghe with sympathetic eyes, but Wang Ronghe didn't have to bow her head, she sat generously, with just the right smile.
It was Zhu Yijun who looked at it, and she just smiled.
After the dance of the Teaching Workshop Division, Empress Dowager Chen said to the emperor, "The show girl has a heart, and she has arranged a dance to dedicate it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty should look good." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly, and she didn't like that Empress Dowager Chen always let show girls sing and dance, and in the future, she will be Your Majesty's woman and concubine, the more precious the better.
When Wang Zhixi recorded the video, she was dressed the same as other show girls, but her makeup was different, with extraordinarily white base makeup, heterochromatic eye pupils, bewitching eyeliner, a little red in the center of her eyebrows, and a hood made of gold wire, imitating the usual shape of Persian měi nǚ.
There is a kind of bewitching beauty.
Empress Dowager Li clasped her palms tightly, Empress Dowager Chen glanced at her, and paid attention to Zhu Yijun's expression, Zhu Yijun had already learned the emperor's quiet skills, and he couldn't see anything.
The most important thing in this group of show girls is Zhou Yuting and Wang Zhixi, Zhou Yuting knows that she has ambition and means when she looks at her eyes, and Wang Zhixi is a god-given beauty.
Empress Dowager Chen has been in this palace all her life, and naturally knows how much a woman can do, but the pillow wind blows very strongly. Empress Dowager Chen is not His Majesty's biological mother, and His Majesty's biological mother is alive, even if everything is nominally respected by her, how can she compare to Empress Dowager Li in reality.
She has been winning over His Majesty's heart, and when the emperor is older, she should start with the emperor's woman to influence the emperor.
Empress Dowager Li has never cared about this, and she is very strict with Her Majesty, and she also requires Her Majesty's women to guard their responsibilities, perhaps this is her reliance as a biological mother.
The dance ended quickly, and the show girls knelt on the ground waiting for the reward, Zhu Yijun said, "Why is there a difference here?" Are there Persians in this show? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there are no Persians among the show girls this time." Cui Shanggong said. "Xu is a show girl thinks it looks good, so she deliberately dresses up."
"It's ugly." Zhu Yijun said that he didn't raise his eyebrows and said very usually, "I don't like Persian women, I don't allow Persian women in my harem, if there are show girls who like to dress up as Persian savages, they will all be sent out." ”
The women of the harem regard the emperor as heaven, and now they are said to be ugly to death by the emperor, what a cruel sentence to the emperor's women. The concubines and show girls at the banquet all held handkerchiefs to cover their mouths, and everyone knew whether they were to block the fright or the joy.
Wang Zhixi was prostrate on the ground, her body couldn't help trembling, but she couldn't even open her mouth to argue. This is different from what she thought, Empress Dowager Li likes Persian měi nǚ, she didn't expect His Majesty to dislike it, no, if Empress Dowager Li really had been taken care of by Persian's favorite concubine, Empress Dowager Li would definitely open her mouth to intercede.
Wang Zhixi looked at Empress Dowager Li expectantly.
The son spoke for himself, Empress Dowager Li breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and her fingers relaxed, she had been humiliated by the Persian concubine during the banquet of the first emperor, and the favorite concubine with blue eyes pointed at her at the banquet of the concubine of the first emperor and said, "The concubines and concubines in Your Majesty's palace really can't remember so much, just like this sister, if she hadn't seen it here in Your Majesty, the concubine would have thought it was the palace maid of which palace." ”
What did Your Majesty say, yes, Your Majesty said, you are not wrong about Ai Concubine, she is a palace person.
That day was a shame, and she must remember it even if she died.
His Majesty said for her in front, she would not be furious and the Queen Mother had embarrassed a little show girl, but said indifferently, "A group of people dance, she is different, it is obvious that she is a motivating thought." This thought is too petty, even if it is smart, it is not used in the right path. ”
"Cui Shanggong, send this show girl home." Empress Dowager Li said.
"It's not a mistake for a show girl to want to show herself in front of His Majesty, and a woman is a person who pleases herself." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile. "Now to send her out of the palace alone, it is to send her to death. Your Majesty's good deeds are right in front of you, and you can't afford to be provoked by such a killing. stayed in the palace, and how much did a show girl eat. ”
"Punishment without teaching is abuse. Thinking that she was a first-time offender, she stayed in the palace first. If someone repeats it in the future, there is no place for discussion. Zhu Yijun said.
If you make such a fuss, there will be no reward. Zhou Yuting secretly hated Wang Zhixi, after receiving the eyes of the Empress Dowager Chen, she saluted and retreated, but Wang Zhixi softened her feet again, the people in front of her walked fast, and she stayed on the stage alone, and when she got off the stage, she found that Wang Zhixi did not keep up, but no one was willing to go back to give it a hand, the more anxious Wang Zhixi was, the more she couldn't do it, and she almost cried out in panic.
Wang Ronghe sighed, got up and saluted, and went to the stage to help Wang Zhixi go down. Seeing that no one was willing to help her, he sent her back to Chuxiu Palace directly.
"Sister, sister, what should I do?" On the way, Wang Zhixi cried.
"Don't cry." Wang Ronghe said, "Do you want people to go to His Majesty and say that you are dissatisfied with his words?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to send me out of the palace." Wang Zhixi couldn't help crying, but her tears jumped in strings, "Now everyone is decided, if I leave the palace, people outside don't know what to think of me, if I think I have committed a big taboo in the palace, I will only have a dead end when I go home." ”
"Didn't Your Majesty say to let you stay in the palace?" Wang Ronghe said. Thinking that she knew that it would be so easy to get out of the palace, she also gave it a try. If no one dares to ask for a marriage, she will find a mountain to set up a nunnery, lead the practice, and be free.
"I didn't mean to." Wang Zhixi said, "It was when someone told me that the Empress Dowager liked Persian měi nǚ, so I dressed up like this." ”
"In the palace, even if you say it face-to-face, you have to chew three points before you can listen to it, and you can listen to such things as you say." Wang Rong and Dao.
"But I also went to ask others, I asked the aunt of Chuxiu Palace, and she also said that Empress Dowager Li is indeed different from others to Persian beauties." Wang Zhixi said worriedly.
"But now Your Majesty doesn't like it." Wang Ronghe said that she couldn't tell whether Zhu Yijun really didn't like it or fake it, and if so, what was the reason? There are no Persian beauties in his palace, and there are about them in the palace of the first emperor, but how can they offend him.
Wang Zhixi cried and cried all the way, and when she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Wang Ronghe said. "Don't cry, wash your eyes off quickly, if you can't wash them off, your eyes will be the same color in the future, and they will be broken."
Fang Ruo came in with a copper basin, "Why did the girl come back alone first." ”
"It's all you, you hurt me so hard." Wang Zhixi is going to fight Fang Ruo. "Say, 'Who are you?' Why do you deliberately harm me? I asked myself if I treated you well, why are you so vicious and want to ruin my life. ”
"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Fang Ruo blocked a few times, and was caught by Wang Zhixi, and said sharply. "Is the girl crazy?"
"Silence." Wang Ronghe shouted, "Dare to say anything? ”
"Go and bring you girls a cup of hot tea." Wang Ronghe commanded.
Fang Ruo put down the copper basin and went out unwillingly. Wang Zhixi sat on the edge of the kang in despair, Wang Ronghe twisted a handkerchief to clean her face, "There is no room for a crazy word in the palace, if you want to stay in the palace, you can weigh it yourself." ”
"Sister, I only have my sister now. My sister won't leave me alone. Wang Zhixi held Wang Ronghe's hand earnestly, "Sister, you are my own sister." ”
