Chapter 62: Plotting Separately

I don't know which palace maid and eunuch spread the rumor, some people began to talk privately some time ago, saying that if the masters of the harem can win the first place in the music presented today, they will be able to eat wine and admire the moon with the emperor in the back garden after nightfall.

Shangguan Xi didn't dare to slack off when he received the order, but the other concubines and girls all wanted to compete for this favor alone, but they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on to something too big, so they could only do something small and small.

So there were all kinds of ways to cut off the way of others, what pretended to be a sisterly and drank with the show girl who lived with him until he was drunk, but he secretly poured out the wine, so that the family could not catch up with the sacrifice ceremony on the second day.

There are also some show girls who secretly add laxatives to other people's meals in private, making people vomit and diarrhea after eating, some cut the dresses carefully prepared by others to make people unable to go, and even deliberately add sweat medicine to the tea to make people oversleep...... It can only be said that if a woman is ruthless, it is really a little scary!

Pity those victims, powerless and powerless, and unable to find people and evidence, they can only watch with tears in their eyes as others go to the sacrificial ceremony to compete for favor and shine.

For example, in this palace of the face, the servant maids are busy going in and out, grooming and dressing their masters.

After Liu Shishi raised her hand and gently brushed the rouge, her snow-white skin was against the background, and her fiery red lips highlighted her domineering even more.

She looked at herself in the mirror and involuntarily began to sink, which man can not have a little attachment to this peerless appearance?

"That Shangguan Ran is still nameless and scoreless, and he still wants to be in the limelight at today's ceremony, and take the initiative to ask Ying to perform what kind of dance, and he doesn't look at his weight first?!"

"Although she is a talented woman in Shangqiu City, but this palace is not as clumsy as those outside, and no one here has to have a bit of family status, her Shangguan family is just a small servant of the ministry, what can she do?"

After Liu Shishi's chatter, the others did not say anything, afraid that no one would answer and inevitably be scolded again, and the clever little maid on the side hurriedly took the opportunity to smile and respond.

"Yes, the little lord is dressed up to attend this year, but he has to press them on the stage, this young lady of the Shangguan family doesn't know how thick the sky is, I'm afraid that she will only ask for hardship!"

The corners of Liu Shishi's mouth rose slightly, and her hand wandered left and right on the gold and silver jewelry in front of her, and finally settled on the jeweled gold hairpin.

"That's a good thing, but I want her to make a fool of herself on the table, so I always feel that this is in my heart~ I can be more comfortable!"

Qiu Yue took the golden hairpin in her hand and carefully pinned it up, as if she naturally received the order, and then bowed her head and retreated to go out to do something.

For today's scene, she Liu Shishi specially invited the famous embroiderer to make Su Fan water sleeve dresses for a whole month, and she just wants to become a standout in the crowd.

And sooner or later, she will also sit alone in the harem!

Qiu Yue pinched the hour and stopped the maids who were going to deliver things in the various palaces in the middle of the road.

The leading Aunt Hong is said to be an old man who specializes in distributing things in the Shang Palace Bureau, and in the harem for decades, I have seen a lot of situations like this important day in the harem.

But if you want to gain a foothold in this palace for a long time, you must keep your duty, and since no one can offend, then the work you are responsible for must not allow any stubble.

However, the most clumsy way to buy people's hearts with money, she Qiuyue will never be able to do it, she must do it without a trace, and it will never be easy for people to see the flaws.

"Hello Aunt Hong!"

After Qiu Yue bowed her head and saluted, she looked at the two palace maids behind Honggu as if full of curiosity.

"Dare to ask my aunt, this dress was sent to Miss Shangguan?"

Although this Qiuyue is not an insignificant maidservant, after all, she still has the support of her own master, so even if she is reluctant, her Honggu has to give some thin noodles.

"Yes, if it doesn't matter, we still have to rush to buy errands, please ask Miss Qiuyue to move her steps and make way!"

"Aunt Hong, don't worry, slave maid is really helpless......"

As Qiu Yue spoke, her eyes quickly turned red, and her body trembled slightly, as if she had a thousand grievances that were difficult to tell.

She said: "The little master of my family is arrogant by nature, and he has to strive for uniqueness in everything he does, so today I asked the slaves and maids to inquire about the clothes of other masters one by one, so that she can avoid the same royal style...... But those of us who are subordinates are really embarrassed all the way, and if we do it, we will be coldly and disgusted by others, and if we don't do it, we will be punished and scolded by our own masters......"

Qiu Yue had already said with tears in her eyes to this point, if she didn't give a look, others would look at her as if she was bullying people, and she had to compromise one step in desperation.

"I can show you the style of your clothes, but you can only look at them from a distance, and you are not allowed to come close!"

Qiu Yue, who had never thought of touching it, was naturally reluctant to hear this, so that she was even more afraid of any suspicion she would have after the accident.

The two palace maids behind Honggu took the clothes and unfolded them, that is, a plain blue dance dress that was unremarkable and unremarkable.

Qiu Yue stepped forward with a step, seemingly raising her hand to thank her, but she deliberately tripped over the dress and fell to the ground, and the powder in her hand also flew out and stuck to the dance dress.

However, this distance is nearly a meter away, and in Honggu's eyes, she just saw her accidentally fall.

"I lost my politeness in a hurry, and after thanking Aunt Hong for her kind help, the slave and maid retired first!"

Qiu Yue turned around and seemed to leave in a panic, but at the moment of turning the corner, her expression changed instantly, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In Chuxiu Palace, Caiyun and Caihuan looked back and forth through the plain blue dance clothes several times, until Caihuan finally couldn't help but pouted and complained.

"Miss, where does this dress seem to be able to be worn on the table, but it looks like an old item that is casually turned out from under the box, what should the Shanggong Bureau do, although we did want blue at the beginning, but we can't just stuff us with a perfunctory thing!"

Caiyun was also very impatient when she heard it, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and muttered, "I'll chase them back and ask for an explanation!"

Seeing that Caiyun was about to step out of the door with one foot, Shangguan Xi hurriedly stopped her.

"Do you think that chasing them back will solve the problem, they are just taking orders, and now that it is a foregone conclusion, so it will be done. ”

Caiyun and Caihuan were naturally unwilling, but they also had to obey orders, so they could only walk to Shangguan Xi dejectedly and continue to tidy up her makeup.

The makeup and hair were not ready, but I heard a cry from outside, and the sound was intermittently annoying.

Caiyun, who was already uncertain, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it.

"On a good day, who is out there to cause bad luck?!"

She waited for a long time and saw no response, only to hear the cry pause for a moment before it began again.

Caihuan walked to the door and glanced twice, then turned around and said, "It seems that the young lady of the Xu family is opposite, for some reason, she is sitting at the door with her clothes and crying!"

After Shangguan Xi straightened his clothes, he stood up.

"Come with me and have a look. ”

The young lady of the Xu family, who was already crying and her face was flushed, saw Shangguan Xi coming up and was concerned, so she let go of her voice and began to cry.

Without waiting for Shangguan Xi to ask the reason, she sobbed and whimpered: "Sister Shangguan, my clothes ...... I don't know who cut it, what can I do?!"

The dress was cut, which meant that there was no way to dress up to attend, and for the women of the harem, if they were not even qualified to participate in today's battle, they would have lost the whole game.
