Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to the usual practice, every year in the Daxing Palace will set up a Duanyang night banquet, this year's night banquet is particularly grand because of the marriage of the two princesses.

Night has not yet come, the family banquet in the Taiji Hall has just begun, and the banquet is only attended by the royal children and a few favored concubines, Emperor Jingyuan is on the seat, on both sides are Li Guifei and Queen Situ, and several seats are lined up on both sides of the lower head, the concubines are in front, and the princess is behind -

Regardless of the order of birth, only according to the status of the inferior, the princess Baili Jing is naturally in the first place, Jing Ma Mo asked not to come, her next head is the third prince, and on the opposite seat is the hot heir to the throne The seventh prince Baili Mingxu, Baili Mingxu's next head is Baili Luo and Han Ye. Looking at the past as a whole, all the seats in the harem are arranged in the positions of the two mothers, which is very much a bit of a clear line and a sense of resistance.

The song and dance are being staged, with the sound of the pipa, the soft waist of the dancing girl is swinging in the center of the hall, smart and charming, every smile and every move is extremely enchanting, Emperor Jingyuan looked at it intently, his expression was quite complacent, and occasionally turned his head and asked Li Guifei: "What does the concubine think of this orchid?" ”

Concubine Li said with a smile: "The concubine thinks it's good, all of these orchids can sing and dance, which is more different than the singing and dancing in the Central Plains." ”

"Really?" Emperor Jing Yuan hooked the corners of his lips, and his voice was a little louder: "I think that the wildness of Hu Ji has not been removed, and it may not meet my appetite!" I remember the neon dance that Concubine Li danced many years ago, and that was the beauty of Fenghua! ”

Such undisguised praise made Concubine Li slightly stunned for a moment, and her eyes inadvertently crossed Emperor Jingyuan to look at Empress Situ's cold side face, and immediately blushed and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty made fun of the concubine...... If it weren't for the accompaniment of His Majesty's flute sound, the concubine would not be able to dance a beautiful dance, if His Majesty likes it, you can go to the concubine's place tonight, and wait for the concubine to present a dance for Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan laughed, looked around at the concubines and said, "So, it's very good!" I haven't forgotten Concubine Li's dancing over the years, it's definitely not that I'm deliberately partial, and you don't have to disagree with your concubines, you can ask Concubine Li for advice when you have nothing to do. ”

After hearing this, those concubines immediately got up to salute Concubine Li's wine, and said in unison: "In the future, I will ask Sister Concubine Li to teach me more, and the sisters have thanked you in advance." ”

This respect, Concubine Li accepted it generously, the seventh prince Baili Mingxu saw that his mother was praised, and Baili Luo next to him smiled and bit his ears, and the voice of the ten-year-old child came into everyone's ears crisply: "Sister Luo, the mother concubine is so beautiful when she laughs." Hee-hee. ”

Bai Lijing's eyes fell on the queen mother's body, her brows frowned inadvertently, her father praised Concubine Li in front of all the concubines, and still snubbed the queen mother intentionally or unintentionally as countless times before. Although the queen mother's face was as cold and indifferent as usual, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She sat too far away from the queen mother, and the mother and daughter felt separated for no reason, but even if she was next to the queen mother, the queen mother never rarely received the comfort of others, she was just a useless daughter.

When the wine was half-drunk, Emperor Jing Yuan probably felt bored, and did not flirt with Concubine Li again, but looked at Baili Jing's position and asked, "Jing'er, how is the horse's body?" Is there any improvement? ”

Bai Lijing raised her head and replied with a light smile: "Back to my father, since I was diagnosed and treated by the divine doctor a few days ago, Mo Wen's body has been much better, and it should be better to recuperate for a while, so that my father is worried." ”

"That's good...... Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, his expression was not mixed with joy and anger, and said to Gao Xian, the chief eunuch on the side: "Gao Xian, I remember that two days ago, the Beijun Government sent two thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, let them find it out and send it to Jingyuma." ”

"Yes. The servant then commanded to go down. Gao Xian responded.

Under Emperor Jingyuan's order, the faces of all the concubines became a little weird, even if Empress Situ, the lord of the middle palace, did not give birth to a prince of the royal family, all the best things were still given to Princess Yan. How rare is the thousand-year-old ginseng, even Changbai Mountain can't dig up a few branches, not to mention rare, but it is said that this ginseng is a tribute from the Beijun Government, if you want to reward, how can it be shared equally with Princess Luo, the daughter-in-law of the King of Jinyang.

Emperor Jing Yuan didn't say anything about this, as if he couldn't think of this at all.

"Thank you for your kindness! The son thanked his father for the horse! Bai Lijing hurriedly got up and saluted.

Only then did Empress Situ say the first sentence of the night: "Your Majesty, don't spoil her, girls can't get used to it." Although the voice was slow, it was full of aggressiveness, and I don't know if it was aimed at Bailijing or Emperor Jingyuan.

After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan said lightly and heavily: "My daughter, who is not used to it?" ”

is obviously refuting Empress Situ.

As soon as the emperor and queen confronted, the entire banquet hall fell silent, those younger princesses didn't know what was going on, and immediately smirked when they heard Emperor Jingyuan's words, while the slightly older princesses looked at Bailijing with envy or jealousy.

Baili Luo sneered in his heart, who is the daughter of his father? In the eyes of his father, there is only one Baili Jing, no matter how good others are, they can't get into his eyes, and some princesses are afraid that he doesn't even remember their names.

Queen Situ has always disliked disputes, no matter how good Emperor Jingyuan is, she won't accompany when she wants not to be accompanied, she doesn't answer Emperor Jingyuan's words, and the two can't even quarrel. She can quarrel when she wants, stop when she wants to stop, and she will be happy in her heart.

There are many nosy lords in the harem, and since they can't cure Concubine Li, and they don't dare to confront Queen Situ, they have to talk about other things. Seeing that Baililuo and Han Ye had not said a word all night, and Emperor Jingyuan favored Bailijing first, a concubine immediately opened her mouth and asked with a smile: "Aren't Princess Luo and Luo Ma Xiao bickering?" I don't like to talk all night. ”

Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn over, Bai Lijing didn't follow, her expression was indifferent, and she was not interested in how the two of them were.

Han Ye has never talked much, every time he goes to the banquet, he just drinks, how many glasses have he never drunk, the biggest punishment at the banquet is just the punishment of wine, he is fearless, and others are not good at caring about it. Hearing this kind of questioning at this time, Han Ye just maintained his usual smile and said, "Concubine Li said that she was smiling." ”

"Yes, Concubine Li smiled."

Before Han Ye's words fell, Baili Luo looked at Li Concubine with a smile, and said, suddenly lowered his head shyly: "If you talk about disputes, there is indeed a little dispute between Luo'er and the horse today, but it's just for a name, I'm really embarrassed to say it." ”

"Name?" Everyone was puzzled, and even Emperor Jingyuan was quite interested.

Baililuo became more and more shy, and lowered his head: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of my father, queen, mother, concubine and all the mothers, Luo'er is pregnant, and it is for the name of the child in her womb that she argues with the horse...... As a first-time parent, it is inevitable to be apprehensive ......"

"Jingle bell-" There was a crisp sound, and something hit the ground and shattered.

"Princess Jing, the slave will change a spoon for you." The voice of the palace maid was particularly clear in the quiet hall.

Bai Lijing lowered her eyelids, and the hand that was holding the spoon tightened under the table at the moment, and Mu Ran nodded: "...... Good. ”

It's really embarrassing, it's embarrassing again, they're already married, it's a matter of time, what doesn't she dare to care about? She just slipped her hand, not holding it. But who cares about such an explanation?

Although the smile on Han Ye's lips froze, it never took it back, he saw what he should have seen and heard what he should have heard, and he couldn't refute it.

The most important thing in a woman's life is to get married and have children, and the episode of Baili Jing breaking the spoon did not affect the true and false congratulatory voices in the hall: "The princess is happy, the horse is happy, today is the Duanyang Festival, it's really a good day!" ”

"Yes, congratulations! In January and February next year, the spring flowers are blooming, and our palace is lively again, and the sisters have to hurry up to make new clothes and new shoes for the little grandson and the little princess! ”

Someone came to blame Han Ye again: "It's not right to fall off the horse, since Princess Luo is already pregnant, how can you quarrel with her again?" Let her more, the two have nothing to quarrel about, the bedside fight bed and, one night husband and wife! ”

Even Concubine Li was quite surprised: "Luo'er, are you pregnant?!" That's great! He turned his head and said happily to Emperor Jing Yuan: "Your Majesty, this is your first grandson, congratulations to Your Majesty on your full house of children and grandchildren!" ”

Emperor Jing Yuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the first grandson." As he spoke, his sharp and majestic gaze shot at Han Ye, still with a smile, and said: "King Jinyang is my best friend, if he knows that he is going to add a grandson, I don't know how he will be gratified, Luoma, can you inform your father?" ”

Han Ye smiled: "Not yet." Beijun is far away, and my father would be very worried if he knew it in the morning, so it was better to be late. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan stroked his beard and said noncommittally: "In this case, let's do what the horse wants." Luo'er is pregnant, so don't drink alcohol tonight, take good care of the fetus. I congratulate you with all the concubines and princesses for a cup of horses. Come! ”

As he spoke, everyone raised their glasses.

Bai Lijing looked at the so many raised arms and indelible smiles in front of her, raised her head and drank all the wine in the cup, and smiled self-deprecatingly, the marriages of others are all happy, but the marriage she managed to keep was as if she was cursed.

One of the sisters who married at the same time was pregnant, and of course, they should ask for news about the other, but because of Mo Wen's identity as a sick child and the temperament of Queen Situ's mother and daughter, none of the concubines had the courage to speak.

However, there were still people who lived up to expectations and asked for them, only to hear the Seventh Prince Baili Mingxu say with full curiosity: "Sister Luo is going to have a child, I am going to be an uncle, will I be an uncle again when Sister Jing gives birth to a child?" Sister Jing, when will you have a baby? ”

Baili Jing has nothing to be ashamed of, strange, she is not angry at all, when she heard Bai Li Mingxu ask, she looked over and replied with a smile without evasion: "It's almost over." ”

"Really! That's great! Baili Mingxu clapped his hands and shouted happily.

Bai Lijing's answer brought up the atmosphere in the venue again, and the concubines were about to continue to ask, but they heard a crisp knocking sound from the main seat, and they all looked over, only to see Queen Situ put the chopsticks heavily on the jade bowl, turned her head to Emperor Jingyuan and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, the concubines have to go back to the palace to worship the Buddha, and retire first." ”

Before Emperor Jingyuan could reply, Empress Situ had already gotten up, looked directly at Baili Jing and said, "Jing'er, since the horse is sick, you should also go back to take care of him earlier, Duanyang Festival, how can you leave him alone in the mansion?" ”

These two sentences, which are not salty and not light, are evasion in the eyes of the concubines, but when Bailijing hears it, it seems to have a faint warning, she hurriedly stood up to Queen Situ's words, and said to Emperor Jingyuan: "Father, son-in-law take the first step." ”

Although Emperor Jing Yuan still had a smile on his face, there was not much smile in his eyes, and he said, "Come on, be careful to escort Princess Jing back." Since the queen is busy, let's go too. ”

So, in the various eyes of the concubines, Queen Situ's mother and daughter stepped out of the threshold of the Taiji Palace, with the same straight back, and I am afraid that only Queen Situ's daughter can keep up with her foot strength in the world.

Baililuo's lips were full of smiles, his eyes moved back to Han Ye from Bailijing's back, the smile was gentle and gentle like water, completely like a shy wife and mother for the first time, and his heart was infinitely happy, how about it, Han Ye, what does it feel like to have something to say? If you make me swallow my anger and can't make a face in front of her, I will let the whole world know what your relationship with me is!

……

Bailijing walked with Queen Situ all the way, and Queen Situ didn't say a word to her again, whether it was comfort or blame. Bai Lijing felt that the queen mother seemed to have something on her mind, so she left in such a hurry, she almost couldn't catch up with her.

When she was about to part ways outside the Taiji Palace, Queen Situ finally turned to face her and said, "Although you are a girl, you must also live a strong life, and don't waste your lifelong happiness for an unworthy man." Once he marries someone else, he will have nothing to do with you, you don't have to wait for him to turn back, and you don't have to do stupid things for him, even if you lose your life for him, he probably won't shed half a tear for you. Once a man's heart is not yours, you are not even as good as an ant in his eyes......"

These words were said in one go, the tone became slower and slower, Bailijing bit her lip and listened, tears rolled in her eyes, and the queen mother continued: "Jing'er, you have done enough stupid things, but you are still young, and the days to come are still long, you have the opportunity to correct it, if it is five or seven years later, when your good time is exhausted, and you still have obsessions that you shouldn't have, then it is not stupid, but stupid." ”

After saying this, Queen Situ went to the phoenix and went to the direction of Weiyang Palace surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Bai Lijing stood in place and watched the queen mother leave, and found that the queen mother had been looking up at Chang Gengxing in the sky, and her body in a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown was inexplicably very depressed. The queen mother who forced her the most ruthlessly in the world, and it seems that the queen mother who understands her pain the most......

The queen mother said that once a man's heart is not yours, you are not even as good as an ant in his eyes.

So it really is.

When he arrived at the Taiji Palace Square, before he was about to get on the sedan chair, Gao Xian caught up and said: "Princess Jing, you can take away this thousand-year-old ginseng and make up for the horse master." ”

Bailijing took it, got on the sedan chair, and after the sedan curtain was lowered, she heard Gao Xian's voice: "Ouch, the horse, do you want to go back alone?" ”

Then Han Ye's plain and clear reply: "Princess Luo is going to recuperate in the palace for a few days, and Xiao Wang will go back to the house first." Gao Gonggong stayed, and he didn't have to send it far. ”

Did the banquet disperse early, or did Han Ye leave the banquet early?

Bai Lijing has no intention of thinking about these anymore, anyway, they will soon part ways, even if they get on the sedan chair at the same time, the direction is completely different.

The sedan chair got up quickly, because after drinking a few glasses of realgar wine, Bailijing leaned on the sedan chair and fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, the sedan chair stopped suddenly, and Bailijing heard the Janissaries next to the sedan chair shouting: "Who is in the way!" Act recklessly! You can know who is sitting in the sedan car! ”

"No more nonsense! Leave the people in the sedan car! The one who stands in my way - death! The voice of the person who came was rough and full of murderous intent.
