Volume 4 Xiao Wall Chapter 4 (1)
In the Forbidden City, any news is transmitted quickly, and what just happened in the morning has already been in an uproar in the afternoon, and everyone knows about it.
Standing under a peach tree in the Imperial Garden, she watched the petals flutter and fall, listening to the chatter around her. Remembering this morning's events, her smile grew.
It's been a long time since I've seen them like that, and it's really enjoyable.
As soon as the sky was bright, Chunxi was woken up from her sleep by Mu Hui. Maybe it was the words with Yan Wan last night that made her sleep very peacefully and have a good night's sleep.
"Today, you have to dress up." She sat in front of the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and showed a meaningful smile.
Behind her, Xiao Qinzi took a wooden comb to sort out her long hair that had fallen asleep, and her movements were extremely gentle. Mu Hui stood in front of the huge wardrobe, carefully selecting the clothes that Chunxi was going out today. Fu'er had already led a few little palace maids to set up breakfast for her outside the curtain.
Fu'er was the first to finish the task at hand, she opened the curtain and came in, and saw that Mu Hui was still struggling with the two clothes in her hand, and she didn't know which one to choose.
Chun Xi was thinking about things, so she naturally ignored Fang Cai's few greetings. Seeing this, Fu'er immediately pointed to the robe with a round collar of beeswax yellow folded branches and peony flowers and said: "This one is the most suitable, and the peony is the king of a hundred flowers." Today, it's time to suppress the arrogance of those people. Since I'm going to the theater, I naturally have to dress more appropriately. ”
When he held the robe in front of his eyes, the other party only glanced at it a few times and did not speak. She reached out and took the dresser, a pair of butterfly hairpins with red gold and ruby were handed to Xiao Qinzi behind her, and a string of delicate glass water beads and tassels were handed over.
After breakfast and a change of clothes, Chunxi swayed and walked out.
As soon as he came out of the door of the front hall, he saw Chun Yin who had been waiting outside for a long time. When Chunyin saw her, she was stunned for a moment before she came over with a smile: "Today's sister is dressed differently than in the past." ”
Chun Xi nodded slightly, then took Mu Hui's hand and walked forward, and Chun Yin and the others immediately followed.
Chunxi looked down at the robe on her body, today is indeed different from the past. At least this kind of suit, she couldn't look at it before. She doesn't like peonies, even if she is the king of ten thousand flowers, she is rich and rich, but it is not suitable for her.
Since this robe was sent, Chunxi has never worn it, and today just happens to be her favorite, it is a good time to wear it out for people to take a look.
The robe is made of Shu brocade, and the peony embroidered on it is also double-sided embroidery, with exquisite workmanship and lifelike patterns.
When passing by Kunning Palace, Chunxi suddenly stopped, looked at the huge palace, the locked palace gate, and remembered what Yan Wan said last night. She had never seen Empress Renxiao, but for some reason, she had a sad feeling standing here.
I don't know if it's because of the Empress Xiaozhao who once fought side by side with her, or because of the strange Empress Renxiao. Both queens had spent the last of their lives in this Kunning Palace, and they were once respected, but now they have been forgotten.
But even in such a place, there are still people who sharpen their heads and want to go inside.
Chun Yin watched Chun Xi stand still, and began to feel a little uneasy. I don't know if it's the peony-style robe on Chunxi's body, or her current contemplation in front of Kunning Palace. Chun Yin was a little confused, she didn't understand what Chun Xi was thinking at this time.
Could it be that she has also begun to covet the back position?
gave birth to the prince, and won the favor of the queen and the empress dowager, that is, she and Concubine Tong Guifei competed for the best bargaining chip for the throne.
"Sister." Chun Yin whispered to her, hoping that she would give herself a hint of response, and she might be able to guess her intentions today.
Xu was woken up by the sound of Chunxi, and with an "um" sound, he moved his steps again and continued to walk forward.
In the Chengqian Palace, the concubines who had already arrived were shocked by the appearance of Chunxi. Or, because they were stunned by her outfit, everyone guessed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Concubine Tong's face changed, she accepted the invitation with a gray face, endured the fire in her belly, and watched her sit elegantly on the chair that belonged to her.
At a glance, everyone is actually wearing fancy clothes. After all, it's the time of spring and summer, and this season is the most enjoyable. For a few days, the sun was also good, shining warmly, and naturally I wanted to disperse for a while and ask someone to go to the imperial garden and other places for a walk.
In this way, she calmly tasted tea in everyone's strange eyes, and her movements were elegant and generous.
Although the one on her body is not as good as Concubine Tong's gold-trimmed robe with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, the exquisite workmanship and the lifelike peony on the robe have already compared the graceful and luxurious Concubine Tong.
You can almost see from her fingers that Concubine Tong is using her hands wearing gold wire armor, pinching and loosening, her face full of forbearance and incredible eyes.
Xu waited until everyone arrived, and then he heard Tong Guifei's voice: "Today's ......" she chattered, and the people sitting below either listened carefully, or still kept their eyes on Chunxi's body absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, an inappropriate voice came from the banquet. A sound of retching made everyone look sideways.
Dai Jia Xiangling covered her mouth, with a look of shyness and apology: "I'm really sorry, I've been feeling a little unwell in recent days." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't sit still, and they started talking as soon as you said a word, completely forgetting what Concubine Tong was talking about just now. Chunxi didn't speak, sitting quietly in a chair and waiting to watch a good show.
"Is this a sign of joy?" I don't know which one opened up to express everyone's doubts.
Dai Jia Xiangling pretended not to understand, and her tearful eyes blinked, which was really pitiful for me.
The Fu'er behind Chunxi couldn't help it, and secretly turned around to cover her mouth and smiled, Mu Hui stopped her several times before she could barely hold back.
"Go and ask the Imperial Doctor to come and have a look." Concubine Tong's cold voice sounded, and everyone fell silent. As if the guess had been confirmed at this moment, everyone's expressions were a little frustrated.
After a while, Lu Li came in through the gate, and the moment she saw him, Concubine Tong turned her head to look at Chunxi as if she understood something.
The hands that had been restless were completely clenched at this time. It turned out that she had known for a long time. It turned out that she deliberately let Dai Jia Xiangling retch in front of everyone. What she wanted was Lu Li's congratulations, in front of everyone, this affirmative word was undoubtedly a slap in everyone's face.
It also told everyone here that the people around her are qualified to have such good luck.
Sure enough, after Lu Li finished diagnosing his pulse, he bowed down to Dai Jia Xiangling and saluted: "Congratulations to the little master, the little master is very happy." ”
Dai Jia Xiangling looked incredulous, but she couldn't hide her joy and asked, "Is it really there?" ”
By the time Lu Li's confirmation was confirmed, Dai Jia Xiangling was already smiling from ear to ear.
In everyone's surprise and silence, Chunxi stood up, she walked to Dai Jia Xiangling's side, but her eyes looked at Tong Guifei: "It seems that I have to congratulate Xiangling, I have already conceived an heir for the emperor in a short period of time." What a blessing. ”
As soon as Chun Xi spoke, whether the people present wanted it or not, they all began to chirp and bless.
Separated by several people, Chunxi and Concubine Tong looked at each other. She smiled, but the other party was already furious.
Taking advantage of her place, doing such an unbearable thing, Concubine Tong had no other way but to calm herself down.
No one knows how much she wants to drive Chunxi and Dai Jia Xiangling out of the door now. But it's just pregnant, do you have to make everyone know?
A hint of victory flashed in her eyes, she walked to Concubine Yun's side and sat down, and whispered, "Sister, what we have planned, it should be a start." ”
Although Concubine Yun didn't fully understand what she meant, she had already seen her intentions.
From the moment she walked in today, she guessed what was going to happen, and she wasn't sure what would happen at that time. Now it seems that it is really a happy event.
In the past, I had doubted Dai Jia Xiangling's sincerity to them, but now I don't have to worry about it. The child in this belly has now become a thorn in the eyes of everyone. Now that she wants to protect herself and her children, she can't have other thoughts.
Concubine Yun praised Chun Xi in her heart, today's scene is really good.
Presumably, out of the gate of Chengqian Palace, the gate of Yikun Palace should become crowded after a while. Whether it is true or false, what they need more at this time is the person who can give them a chance, a person who can bring them great glory and benefits.
Concubine Yun looked at Concubine Tong and smiled shallowly at her. Once you have a good start, then the next thing will not be difficult.
"There's another good show in the afternoon, sister, don't go first." She whispered in Concubine Yun's ear, this look and the smile on her face made the people around her feel even more uncomfortable.
The happy person is obviously Dai Jia Xiangling, but the happiest person at this time is Chunxi.
They had more guesses in their hearts, guessing about Chunxi's robe today, and guessing Chunxi's identity and status in the future.
The first thing to figure out was Chunyin, she also got up from her seat and walked to Chunxi's side: "Congratulations to my sister too." ”
"Congratulations on what?" Chun Xi looked at her with a smile.
"My sister has another good helper." Chun Yin also laughed, she knew in her heart that in the palace, the mother is more precious than the son, and the son is also more precious than the mother.
She resented that she had no luck in giving birth to a boy, and at this time she also indifferently hoped that Dai Jia Xiangling would not be a boy in her belly.
Although she was dissatisfied with Chunxi's luck and everything she got, she knew very well that she couldn't do without Chunxi now. If Chunxi gave up on herself and really supported that Dai Jia Xiangling, then she would become a woman that no one remembered in the palace. Even if you remember, it will only be the sister of the emperor's favorite concubine, this title. (Palace's Gate.. /31/31987/)--
