In June of the 31st year of Qianlong, the scorching sun was like fire, and the queen Huifa Nala "revisited" the show girl for the last time, and this time the location was chosen in Shufangzhai - this is not a place to raise birds, it is the most commonly used place to watch the play in the palace.

In other words, the queen invited the show girls to watch the play.

Judging from this reply, all the show girls are among the summons.

The meaning is very simple, the show girl is about to go home, before leaving, she has to be entertained, and she will not spend a few months in the palace in vain. The show girls mentioned the palace to their relatives and friends in the future, and they could only say that they could only talk about the pigeon cage training in the West Three Institutes.

On this day, in Shufang Zhai, babbling and singing Kunqu Opera, the delicate and flower-like show girls gathered together, and it was lively! The queen also invited all the concubines in the palace who had never gone to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer - well, they are all old concubines, and Concubine Ling, who has just come out of confinement, is also invited.

Concubine Ling, who has just given birth to a seventeenth elder brother and is already a, actually has a slender waist and graceful limbs, I really don't know how many people I envy. However, after this birth, Concubine Wei's face is not as delicate as before, and no amount of fat powder can hide the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

After all, they are all women who are almost forty years old.

The queen looked at Concubine Ling's old face, and couldn't help but feel very good: "This is the first time Concubine Ling has come out after giving birth, and she looks good, so it can be seen that she is almost raised." ”

Concubine Ling was very humble and gentle in front of the queen: "Thank you for the care of the master, the concubine is very good." ”

The queen smiled and said: "It's just that this time the day of childbirth is at this time, so I can't accompany me to the Old Summer Palace, it's a pity." ”

In the face of the queen's ridicule, Concubine Ling only smiled slightly, and said ashamedly: "The concubine is already old, it is time for the younger sisters to serve the emperor more." ”

The queen's old face stiffened, "You are more virtuous than this palace!" ”

Concubine Ling showed a look of panic: "The master's mother is serious, and the concubine is just self-aware." ”

This is really ironic that the queen is old every year, but she has no self-knowledge. The queen's old face was chilling, and she couldn't wait to eat Concubine Ling alive.

Ying Yue looked at the sky, this scene between the concubines was even more exciting than the Qilin Pavilion on the stage.

The concubines who came today are not too young, Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu are all, Concubine Shu's little aunt is not young, Concubine Ying and Concubine Qing are also nearly thirty years old, and there are four or five who are wearing concubine clothes, Ying Yue doesn't recognize them, and the rest are wearing fragrant clothes, and the rank is undoubtedly noble.

Those who are below the rank of nobleman are not included in the invitation of the queen.

And the princesses, in fact, there are only two, the seventh princess and the ninth princess, all of whom came from Concubine Ling, and came with Concubine Ling. These two princesses are very demure and have no sense of existence.

All of the above have special rosewood armchairs, and there is a warping desk in front of them, and seasonal melons, fruits, and tea and snacks are prepared on the table - this is the rhythm of leisurely watching a play.

And the show girls obviously can't have such a good treatment, only one person gave an embroidery pier, and it was located under the corridor outside the main hall of Shufangzhai, one by one, a little crowded.

Although at the end of the draft, there have been a lot of signs, but the number of show girls is still considerable, crowded and occupying the entire platform outside the hall, and if you are not careful, you may fall off the platform.

But a concubine was born, and the show girls had to get up and salute quickly.

Tossed back and forth several times, until Concubine Ling came with the two princesses, it was finally all together, and she was finally born.

Yingyue's location is on the right side of the entrance of the Shufang Zhai Palace, which is very conspicuous, and the people in the hall can see it at a glance.

Ying Yue thought that the rest was just to listen to the play. But just when the Qilin Pavilion was about to end, Li Rongan walked out of the hall, "Two Fuchagege, the queen mother is invited." ”

Ying Yue felt bitter in her heart, there were either concubines or princesses in the palace, she and Baorong were show girls, what were they doing in there?

He glanced at Baorong, got up hurriedly, and followed Li Rongan into the hall.

Ma Yu knelt down and bowed, and said: "Say hello to the queen's mother, and the mother will be blessed with gold." ”

The queen sat on the throne of the place where the concubines held the moon and the stars, and smiled kindly: "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

The two of them stood up, their eyes lowered and they were silent.

The queen smiled slightly, pointed to the two concubines on the right wearing golden auspicious clothes and said, "Concubine Yu didn't come today, this is Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu." ”

Ying Yue Baorong hurriedly bent her knees twice, "Let Concubine Niangniang Wanfu, Concubine Yu Niangniang Wanfu." ”

The queen pointed to the three slightly younger concubines on her left and said, "This Concubine Shu, Concubine Ying and Concubine Qing." ”

Ying Yue and Bao Rong hurriedly bowed again, this knee is bent so much that it is called a standard and numb.

Concubine Ling smiled gently: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the character of the Fucha family, this etiquette, the concubines can see the shadow of Empress Xiaoxian back then." ”

This big hat was obviously directly buttoned to his head, and Ying Yue hurriedly said: "The mother is too famous, and the slave doesn't dare to be it." ”

Sneaking a glance at the queen again, but seeing the queen with a smile on her face, she didn't think she was embarrassed at all, and the queen pursed the corners of her mouth and said: "Although Fuchagege's appearance is not very similar to Queen Xiaoxian, but there are two or three points in appearance. ”

Ying Yue said secretly, the queen thought that she would be assigned to marry the twelfth elder brother. Therefore, she was praised for her demeanor, and the queen was proud. Ying Yue lamented in her heart, how proud she is today, and if her calculation fails in the future, how resentful the queen will be.

Concubine Ling smiled charmingly: "The master is going to be a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law is looking at the future daughter-in-law, so naturally everything is good." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Ling in surprise, she obviously didn't expect Concubine Ling to say such a pleasant thing out of her mouth. The queen covered the corners of her lips reservedly, and coughed twice reservedly: "It hasn't been decreed yet, and it's too early to say anything." ”

As she spoke, the queen smiled and looked at Ying Yue's dignified and gentle face, and couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied: "But these two qualities of the Fucha family, this palace is very satisfied. If they can all stay, it will be great. ”

Ying Yue's heart froze, what the queen meant by this...... Don't you think that Baorong will be given to the eleventh elder brother to marry, and she will refer to the twelfth elder brother??

Xiu Ling is already the son of the world, it shouldn't be difficult to marry the Gege of the Cheng'en Mansion, Qianlong should have allowed it, right? Why doesn't the queen even know? His Majesty Qianlong's tone is really strict enough.

Concubine Ling said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this year's show girls are really outstanding, I heard that Concubine Shu's sister has a niece from her maiden family, her appearance is first-class and good, and the embroidered blessing bag is also delicate and tight, and I don't know who can be blessed to marry back." ”

The queen smiled faintly: "The door of the Yu Palace, I think it is worthy." "A few days ago, Concubine Shu also specially requested to summon the Zhang family of King Yu's side Fujin, presumably to see the age of the last son. The Gege of this Nara family has the reputation of a scholarly family, and all the families in the clan are eager to marry back, so as to increase their faces. Although Concubine Shu is cheaper, but now that the concubine is ordered to return to favor, it can only be cheaper Concubine Shu.

Fortunately, there are few men in the Nara family who use it......

Concubine Shu hurriedly bent over and said, "Thank you to the queen for your success." ”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, then said to Ying Yue and Bao Rong: "The sun is poisonous outside, you two will listen to the play in the palace." The right is to accompany Bengong and Concubine Shu. ”

After that, the queen asked the eunuch to move the embroidered piers of Yingyue and Baorong into the palace, and put them under the hands of the seventh princess and the ninth princess.

This treatment clearly regards her and Baorong as royal daughters-in-law.
