223 The Humiliation of the Broken Arm (Three Watches
These words, sure enough, said that Shen Wan should have been in labor for the sake of the nobles of Zhongjue Zen, and Shen Wan should have given birth a long time ago, but the Jue Chan clan had nowhere to inquire, and the palace had been disturbed by Concubine De's childbirth, the fourth elder brother was sick, and the witch Gu and so on have been disturbed so far, Wen Guifei has a heart that the emperor likes it, and took the initiative to ask her for fear of being disgusted.
"A little boy? Hello son. Jue Chan smiled with satisfaction, "No matter how full of money a woman is, it is just an idle thing to pass the time, only a man can use it in the world, and it would be nice if his son could be as smart as him." ”
Seeing that she was emotional, Concubine Wen couldn't help but remind: "In the palace, if it's in the palace, you can just talk about it in front of me, but be careful of being heard." I looked at it coldly, and Xianghe didn't know either, right? ”
Juechan smiled bitterly: "How dare you casually say to people that the concubine is the emperor's woman in the Forbidden City after all." ”
Concubine Wen Guifei sighed: "I really admire you, the high wall is a person who can't see him once in a year and a half, you can still think of him like this, you have no fate in this life, it would be good if you could be together in the next life." ”
"Who is who in the next life, the concubine is not extravagant." Jue Chan said, took out a few things given to her by Concubine Wen Guifei, and called Xianghe to carefully store them, only to hear the concubine say, "Last time you said, you used my family to cross the river and tear down the bridge, this time I really wanted to shake my face to show them, but they seemed to have learned to be obedient, and they didn't stammer into the palace to see me, they just sent some things." And the emperor really likes me and my family as you said, but in this way, I can't show anything in front of the emperor. ”
Jue Chan smiled bitterly at Concubine Wen's persistence in his heart, and said on his face: "They see that Niangniang is now liked by the emperor, which is what they want, so what are they bothering you for?" In the past, it was you who were unsatisfactory, and they were in a hurry to give you advice, but you didn't want to appreciate it, so it froze. ”
"That's right." Wen Guifei was proud, the woman was in a good mood, even her skin would shine, she stood down in front of Jue Chan's dressing mirror in the house, looked at herself from the beginning, and looked back at Jue Chan, and said in disappointment: "I thought this dress was very good-looking in my room just now, but I was eclipsed when I saw you, I really envy you." ”
"What's the use of a concubine looking good, it's just to spend the rest of your life here, Niangniang has her own place that you let the emperor like, her face is easy to age, and people's hearts can be eternal." Jue Chan said these words, came over and changed the hairpin beads on her hair bun to wear, it really did not look like the cumbersome appearance of Fang Cai, and suddenly became chic and atmospheric, Wen Guifei liked it very much, and hurriedly pulled her and said, "You can also dress up, much stronger than Dongyun, and teach me in the future." ”
Jue Chan bowed his body, and before he raised his head, he heard Wen Guifei ask thoughtlessly: "Speaking of which, do you want to meet that Shen Wan, what does it look like?" ”
"The mother laughed." Jue Chan tried his best to hide the embarrassed state in his heart, and refused with a forced smile, "She can't enter the palace unless she is ordained, and the concubines can't leave the palace, so she never dares to think about it." ”
Concubine Wen tilted her head and thought about it: "I don't know if the emperor will hunt in autumn this year, no matter what, there is always a way, if I am you, you will definitely want to see what that woman looks like, you and wait patiently, I will think of a plan for you." ”
Jue Chan was insincere, and said: "The concubine is not extravagant, please don't bother." A few days ago, I asked myself what I had to wish for in this life, and what I thought of at that time was that I wanted to see Shen Wan, knowing that it was impossible, I smiled bitterly and changed, but I didn't expect to be broken by Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen seemed to be determined to do this, and said seriously: "It's not easy to do this well, there must be some chance for her to appear with Nalan Rongruo, and wait for me to think about it slowly." ”
At this time, Dongyun came over and told the two of them: "The imperial concubine Niangniang sent someone to spread the word, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival will hold a family banquet in Chengqian Palace, and the emperor and the ladies of the palace will get together, which can be regarded as a reunion, and come to invite the maiden to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Concubine Wen pointed to Juechan and asked, "What about the nobles?" ”
Dong Yun didn't know much, so he said: "People who came said that they were going to the six palaces, why don't you go and have a good time." ”
Naturally, the imperial concubine held a family banquet in Chengqian Palace, and it was asked for instructions, although the empress dowager and the empress dowager had no objections, but they couldn't refuse, only Xuan Ye promised to come and sit, and the imperial concubine hurriedly sent news to the palaces, Wen Guifei muttered unconvinced: "I also want to hold a family banquet in Xianfu Palace, but unfortunately I don't have such a big face, who calls her the imperial concubine"
In the blink of an eye, it is a festival, although the palace is not as big as in previous years, there is no lack of festive atmosphere, Chengqian Palace has already set up a banquet, Prince Yu enthusiastically sent in two classes of plays, in the afternoon the women gathered together to watch the play, and waited until the night fell when the moon was empty, and then ushered in the holy car.
Under the imperial concubine, Wen Guifei, Huiyi Derong four concubines, and then there are concubines and concubines, and the next nobles are often agreeing, and the ladies sit in turn.
Concubine De was weak due to childbirth, and she almost did not appear on such occasions outside the Lantern Festival banquet. And the emperor toured the east in the spring, and was busy with government affairs and many cumbersome things in the harem in the summer, and everyone gathered in the Chuxiu Palace last time they were all afraid to look at the emperor more, and it was not easy to have such a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere today.
The emperor gives face, the happiest is naturally the imperial concubine, since she was named the imperial concubine, she has not really shaken the majesty of the deputy queen, today sitting alone under the emperor, compared to the Lantern Festival banquet with Wen Guifei left and right shoulder to shoulder, more noble, which makes her face more arrogant, and Wen Guifei under the seat, the face is naturally not good-looking.
But now that Concubine Wen has learned to be obedient, she knows how to really make the emperor happy, the emperor likes generous and sensible women, she just doesn't have a taste in her heart, and she won't show her face, and the other ladies are more or less well versed in this, laughter and laughter during the banquet, and children are coquettish and frolicking, reflecting a full moon, and it is finally complete.
After three rounds of drinking, the princess and her brothers came to toast, children can't drink, Xuan Ye drank for them, listening to Yinzhi and Yinzhen reciting Yongyue poems in style, when Xuan Ye was happy, there was a sudden scream during the banquet, everyone followed the sound to look over, and a palace maid somehow went crazy and pushed all the things on the table of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi to the ground.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were pushed down by her, she scolded and yelled in her mouth and didn't know what she was talking about, and she was going to pounce on others, screaming, soon a guard rushed in and dragged the palace maid down after subduing her, the concubines were frightened, but the imperial concubine said calmly and majestically: "Don't mess up, someone will replace the banquet of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi with a new one, the emperor hasn't moved the chopsticks much here, and the banquet is as usual." ”
The princess and brothers were also frightened, Xuan Ye just hugged Yinzhen, coaxed him a few words at the moment before letting the nurse take it, and he also comforted the female dependents: "Don't panic, I'm happy today, it's just a trivial matter." ”
Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi went to change their clothes, and they came back after a while, and before they could sit down, they heard the imperial concubine say: "I heard that the palace maid who was dragged away just now is Concubine Hui's person?" ”
Concubine Yi looked like she wanted to clear up the relationship with Concubine Hui, and moved aside a little, Concubine Hui stood there abruptly alone, and responded with an embarrassed face: "It's the concubine's palace maid, and the concubine is trying to wait for the banquet to disperse, please ask the concubine to take her back, don't dare to trouble you." ”
The imperial concubine motioned to Qinglian to pour her wine, and the slender jade fingers picked up the jade cup, and smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter if she is sick or stupid, but she is just a slave, who does Concubine Hui like, this palace will send it to you tomorrow, the one just now, she has the rules of the palace to send her, so you don't have to worry about Concubine Hui." ”
Someone in the seat said: "Don't you know the imperial concubine?" This palace maid was originally Concubine Hui's personal person, and she was by her side when she went in and out, but it was only later that the Empress Dowager rewarded Baoyun in the past, so she was not very close. There are good palace maids, intimate ones are hard to find, and the concubines have humble opinions, so it is better to return this palace maid to Concubine Hui to dispose of herself. ”
The imperial concubine remained silent, but someone else said: "It's not, let the guards take it, I don't know how to interrogate and interrogate, after all, it was the person who was close to Concubine Hui in the past, if she said some secret words in the boudoir that shouldn't be said, where would Concubine Hui's face go." ”
There was a commotion among the female dependents, who didn't have some private affairs in the room, thinking that if Concubine Hui's palace maid talked nonsense to the guards, Concubine Hui's face would really be lost, and there were many people who were sorry for her, and there were many people who gloated.
Concubine Hui's face was white and red, her eyes slowly swept over everyone, as if she wanted to keep in mind the few sluts who fell into the well, and inadvertently saw Concubine De sitting on the opposite side, she was looking at herself calmly, the eyes were clean and terrifying, as if she could shine her ugly and twisted heart from the inside, Concubine Hui hurriedly put aside her gaze, and set her mind, the other party only turned a deaf ear to a few gossips, and she was steady, and respectfully thanked the imperial concubine: "There are enough people in Changchun Palace, one less is a lot, this palace maid, just dispose of it according to Niangniang's wishes." ”
She looked up at the emperor slightly, but the emperor ignored it indifferently, and was smiling and Wen Guifei didn't know what to say.
Concubine Hui's heart was cold for a while, she couldn't remember how she sat down, she only knew that Baoyun said that she was uncomfortable today, and pushed her henchman to accompany her to the banquet.
Concubine Yi on the side also noticed that things were inappropriate, so she couldn't hide from the same table with her, fortunately, Concubine Hui had self-esteem, and she didn't want to talk to anyone at this moment, so she ate the whole Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with a dignified and steady manner, and when she returned to Changchun Palace, her legs were weak as soon as she entered the door, and she didn't even have the strength to enter the dormitory.
And the emperor who stayed in the Chengqian Palace on this side was looking at the excerpts in the clean side hall without distractions, and the imperial concubine Zhang Luo was outside the matter, coaxed Yinzhen to sleep, and then came in with tea, put down the tea and asked Xuanye: "Your Majesty, are the concubines doing a good job?" ”
