Chapter 63: A Small Banquet
Concubine De lifted the ban and held a small banquet again, which shows that the momentum is not declining and the scenery is still the same.
The golden bead stood in the Qiongzhi Palace, looking at the nose and nose and heart, looking respectful, but the old god was pestle.
She opened her mouth with a smile in her words: "When a rookie girl enters the palace, she always has to recognize people, and she hopes that the girl will appreciate her face." ”
Jin Zhu is here to invite people. And apparently, as long as Ahya doesn't agree, she'll always stand like this.
Ahya took a sip of tea and looked at the thin figure of Jin Zhu, her eyes were deep.
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will become the person who bullies Concubine De.
Ahya put down the teacup and said in a calm voice: "Concubine De can afford to think of me, so I should naturally go." ”
Without thinking, you can guess what Concubine De wants to do. It is nothing more than to use the name of the show girl to enter the palace to organize a show, and explain to the palace that the palace is not down.
It's best to embarrass yourself at the banquet by the way.
A sneer flashed in Ahya's eyes, and Shi Shiran stood up.
If Concubine De dares to invite, she will dare to go.
In the Imperial Garden, charcoal fires drive away the chill, and the pavilion is surrounded by newly imported brocade, which serves as a curtain to protect from the wind.
Ahya walked slowly into the pavilion, and saw that the original simple and generous furnishings had completely changed, and the inside was filled with gold and silver treasures, and the splendor was extravagant, and even a plate containing pastries had to be made of the finest Ru kiln porcelain.
The concubines with names and surnames in the palace were basically invited, and from the center of the pavilion to the outside, they sat down according to their positions, talking and laughing in twos and threes.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu are naturally the first of the two first-class concubines, and Concubine De is what Jieyu wants. The two new show girls are nominally the protagonists of this banquet, and their positions are also mentioned in advance, sitting below He Jieyu.
Concubine Shu sat down in turn Lu Chongyuan and Bai Meiren, who were yin and yang weird to Ahya in Jiaolan Palace that day, Lin Wuyue didn't like such an occasion, she didn't come because of her illness, and then there were a few young talents who had been in the palace for a long time but were not favored.
Ahya's eyes flashed.
The seats in the palace have always had a deep meaning.
As soon as the two forces of Concubine De and Concubine Shu sat down, there was a faint trend of confrontation.
On Concubine De's side, He Jieyu is only a fifth grade, Yun Meiren has been abolished again, and then there is only a show girl. On the other hand, on Concubine Shu's side, Lu Chongyuan pressed He Jieyu, who was a fourth-grade white beauty, a sixth-grade white beauty, and a number of seventh-grade talents.
It can be seen that although Concubine De is arrogant, as if flowers are blooming, the substantive benefits have made Concubine Shu quiet.
When Concubine Shu saw Ahya coming, she took the lead in smiling and beckoning: "Sister Ahya is here, sit down." ”
While beckoning, she smiled and wanted to point out a position for Ahya, her eyes gradually froze, and she put down her hand embarrassedly: "In this pavilion, how can you ......?"
All the seats were occupied, and there was no place for Ahya.
Concubine Shu frowned slightly, her eyes were full of disagreement, but she smiled secretly in her heart.
Concubine De was arrogant, and she didn't even bother to do all the superficial work, and she embarrassed Ahya so much in public, but she didn't have to make trouble in the middle.
With Concubine De's temperament, she was originally the result of endless death with Ahya.
Concubine De reacted at this time, and sighed, with a little fake anger on her face, and looked at the palace maid Jin Zhu who was waiting beside her: "What are you going to do?" Didn't you even leave a place for His Majesty's new favorite? ”
There was a condescending sneer in the words, as if they were saying something.
Jin Zhu immediately knelt down: "Yu Niangniang, the palace people below are ranked according to the rules of the palace, and the seat of Miss Ahya is ...... It should be outside the pavilion. ”
The implication is that if you want to blame yourself, you don't even have a position for so long, and you are the only one in this pavilion.
Concubine De raised her eyebrows, first glanced at Ahya, and then said lazily: "It turns out that it is according to the rules, but it is not good to punish you heavily." It's just that you lost the face of others...... Well, go and plead for your own sin. ”
When she said this, Jin Zhu knelt down towards Ahya, and lowered her eyebrows, as if she had been wronged by something: "The slave and maid are not thoughtful, please punish the girl." ”
This singing and chanting is done, but it seems that Concubine De's refusal to arrange seats for people is an unintentional move, and if Ahya wants to pursue it, it is unreasonable and bullying.
Ahya raised her eyebrows slightly, a chill flashed in her eyes, and her voice was still soft: "Originally, it was the same everywhere I sit, and it was not as big as the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the small banquet, it was nothing more than everyone sitting together talking and laughing, and it was not beautiful to make trouble." ”
She mentioned the New Year's banquet first, making everyone remember that she had even sat next to Xie Wei at the New Year's banquet, and she was a head taller than Concubine De. The identity of being Xie Ji's distinguished guest is real, and the big banquet attended by hundreds of civil and military officials is still like this, and now holding a small banquet in the harem to suppress her seat is just to add to the joke.
Ahya paused, watched the expressions on everyone's faces gradually become subtle, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, before he continued: "It's just that since you are guilty, I will ask you." ”
"I am a distinguished guest personally recognized by His Majesty, and this is His Majesty's Daxu and His Majesty's Imperial Palace. Take 10,000 steps back and say, it was also Concubine De who sent you to invite me, and I was a guest. ”
If you treat yourself as an ordinary concubine in the harem, and arrange the seats according to their position, there is naturally nothing wrong with it. However, once she puts her identity on the guest, what Concubine Nade does is to deceive people too much.
Ahya's eyes were gloomy, and her tone was still calm, as if she was a bitter admonition, but she was inexplicably cold: "Now that I'm here, I don't even have a place, what kind of rule is this?" If it spreads, others will think that this is the hospitality of Jinde Palace. ”
She said to Jin Zhu, but her eyes were staring at Concubine De, and the smile on the corner of her lips did not decrease: "Concubine De Niangniang, what do you say?" ”
Concubine De wanted to give Ahya a dismount, but she was generalized, and her face suddenly looked a little unsightly.
She sneered: "The slave maid is just negligent for a while, and you don't have to wear a high hat to the palace." said that the palace maid in the palace is ignorant, what are the rules when you are so aggressive at the banquet in the palace? ”
Ahya said that she was a guest, and she took a bite back. Make a big fuss at the banquet, that is the villain, he is at fault, and Ahya, the slut, is even more wrong.
Ahya slowly raised her eyes, looked at Concubine De, and sighed for a long time: "Concubine De Niangniang opened her mouth, and I was able to distinguish a little truth from Jin Zhu, but now I have become aggressive." ”
She lowered her eyes and made a grievance: "But I shouldn't have said it...... It was I who disturbed Concubine De's interest, and you should blame it. ”
Retreat.
Concubine De, in order to work the face and to ridicule herself more, asked Jin Zhu to plead guilty, and she was annoyed and angry, which has become a joke.
If Ahiya bit and argued any more, he would have drawn himself into the mire. stepped back at the right time, but seemed to be sensible and decent.
Concubine Shu covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, it was rare to see Concubine De's jokes, and the curvature of the corners of her lips could barely be covered: "Okay, it's rare for everyone to get together." Ahya, why do you bother with Concubine De. Concubine De, it's time for you to take your temperament. ”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine De was nailed to the wrong side.
Concubine De's face turned pale with anger, and she knew that it would be a shame to make trouble again, so she gritted her teeth and glanced at He Jieyu, who was sitting down.
He Jieyu received the signal, stood up and played a round: "Concubine De is too generous, and she can't see the people under her suffer." However, today it is Jinzhu who is not thoughtful and should be punished. ”
She smiled and groaned, and two or three sentences revealed the matter, and led to the main topic: "They are all sisters in the palace, it is rare to get together, why bother to lose the excitement for trivial things?" Don't freak out the new sisters. ”
