Chapter Seventy-Five: Plum Banquet

The queen's words shocked everyone, and they couldn't help but be a little panicked.

Even Xiao Dezi looked at the queen from the backyard with a stunned face, she has always had a gentle personality, and she rarely gets angry.

"Sister Queen, my sisters just want to come and ask you for ......"

There was a concubine who didn't give up and wanted to mumble something more, but was directly interrupted by Su Qian's cold voice.

"If you respect this palace in your heart, you don't need to work asking for peace, it's really ridiculous to be coy, if any of you dare to disturb the purity of this palace in the future, don't blame this palace for not saving face for you."

"Little Dezi, send off."

When the words fell, Su Qian didn't bother to look at them again, turned around and entered the outer hall, these concubines looked embarrassed, and dared not speak out.

Xiao Dezi tried his best to suppress the upward arc of the corners of his mouth, and said respectfully: "Little masters, please go back, the emperor stayed in Fengyi Palace last night, Niangniang didn't have a good rest, she was a little tired, and her mood was a little worse, I hope the little masters don't take it to heart." ”

The concubines glanced at each other, and they all saw a strong unwillingness in each other's eyes.

In the past, when the queen saw them, she could only hide far away with her tail between her legs, but now she is really fortunate and has turned the world upside down.

"The emperor has snubbed her these days, I thought that her favor would end like this, but I don't think the emperor still misses the old love." Some concubines hesitated to leave, and no longer mixed into this muddy water.

The queen mother's family is in decline, what can it do?

With the emperor's grace for a long time, and the power to control the harem, the current queen is no longer so easy to provoke.

There are concubines who can see this layer clearly, and they leave with interest.

"Sister Meng Concubine, go back."

Yan Concubine tugged at the corner of Meng Siyan's clothes, and her eyes were full of jealousy of the queen's majesty.

"Hmph." Meng Siyan's soft face was cloudy at the moment, she flicked her sleeves and walked out of Fengyi Palace angrily.

Two days later.

The snowflakes are falling slowly, one by one showing a beautiful state, crystal clear, like catkins dancing lightly with the wind.

The snow falls silently on the treetops, decorating the jade tree branches, the red plums are dotted like jewels, and the hundreds of red plums are continuous, blooming proudly in the cold wind.

Today's plum banquet, according to the practice of previous years, the queen invited the female relatives in Beijing to attend the same fun, but the warm pavilion in the plum garden of the imperial garden is so big that it cannot accommodate all the female dependents of the official eunuchs in Beijing.

Therefore, only the family members or important ministers came to come, and some women entered the palace early this morning to wait in the outer garden, and gathered together in twos and threes to say a few words.

Each is richly dressed, the eyes are full of energy, the manners are decent and elegant, the conversation is moderate, and there is a graceful style, even though the body is full of jewels, rich and not vulgar.

After a short time, the outer garden door was opened.

The palace people introduced the ladies into the warm pavilion, and the charcoal fire was burning, warm as spring, dispelling the cold.

According to the size of the husband's official rank, the two sat down in front of the desk one after another, drank tea and enjoyed the plum blossoms and watched the snow scene, and the palace maids served pastries and fruit wine in turn.

And in this central open space, there are palace people to move the table, after spreading out the rice paper, a young woman slowly sat down, picked up the wolf's pen and ink, and seriously depicted something.

Seeing this, the women couldn't help but be curious, and mentioned in passing, "The person who paints this painting has an elegant temperament, not like a painter in the palace." ”

The sound of ridicule came, "I don't know which lady wants to show her talent in front of the queen and show off her talent by enjoying the plum banquet." ”

They all looked at each other very brightly, and they didn't have any impressions, and they guessed and weighed in their hearts.

It's not uncommon for there to be such a talent show every year, but it's not very rare for the queen to start preparing before she arrives like this year.

And the woman in the middle is placed in the rumors, calmly and indifferently, not surprised, and there is no superfluous look on the side, and Meiyu is more attentive to painting.

As a gorgeous figure appeared in the warm pavilion, the eyes of all the wives were attracted, and a look of amazement flashed in their eyes.

Si Yunxian came dressed in Jokhang costumes, wearing a pink plum snow fox jacket, auspicious clouds and a hundred flowers pleated skirt, and a light blue plum blossom shirt, fresh and refined, quite elegant.

The hairpin on the head of the fallen bun symbolizing the identity of the princess is obliquely inserted, looking forward to lingering, a smile and a charming but not demonic, moving people's hearts.

The women were slightly surprised, although they had never seen Si Yunxian, but the dress of the princess also made them guess that this was King Ling's quasi-princess.

The wives stood up and saluted, "The courtiers have seen the princess." ”

Although the wedding date has been set, before the marriage, it is still necessary to be called a princess.

"Let's be flat." Si Yunxian smiled, covered the dark light under his eyes, and spoke weakly, "The officials of the Great Zhao are from good backgrounds, their looks are extraordinary, and this princess is shallow, standing with you, I am really a little ashamed." ”

"Where is the princess, the princess's appearance is like the moon in the nine heavens, shining brightly, and the courtiers sigh with joy."

A woman in the crowd complimented.

There are also people who secretly roll their eyes at her, looking at her rushing to pat her ass, but it is really worthless.

Si Yunxian raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know what this lady is called?" ”

The woman lowered her eyebrows and replied, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Industry, Wen Ning." ”

Si Yunxian bowed politely, changed his words, and said: "This princess has been walking around the capital for a long time, and she will have a familiar time with you in the future." ”

"Yes." The women responded in unison.

Si Yunxian sat at the front of the lower left head, and soon chatted and laughed with the high-ranking women around him.

Compared with the lively scene over there, sitting in the front position of the lower right head is the prime minister's wife, with several daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, with a stinky face, a face like frost, looking at Si Yunxian's eyes, there is contempt that cannot be concealed.

The wives watched their noses and noses, and tacitly agreed that the prime minister's family was most dissatisfied with the marriage between King Ling and the princess of Shen Biguo, and they made a lot of efforts openly and secretly, wanting the emperor to withdraw the marriage will, but it was a foregone conclusion.

"Tsk, looking at the prime minister's wife's frowns, it's no wonder she doesn't like the princess, I don't think it's a good stubble."

"Oh, Mrs. Hou, you can be quiet."

The two women gathered together and talked.

"The appearance is pitiful, how can the princess who can send out and kiss be a weak character?"

Hou Ye's wife Yang Zhao has always been a straight person, she will say whatever she wants, and after hearing what Hou Ye's lieutenant general's wife said, she smiled heartily and nodded approvingly.

And Fengyi Palace.

Su Qian was urged by Zhiyun three times and four times, and finally got up from the warm quilt, his face was full of sleepiness, and he couldn't open his eyes.

"Niangniang can't sleep anymore, the officials and wives over there in Meiyuan are almost there, you have to clean up quickly, it's not good to be late." Zhiyun hurriedly beckoned the little palace maid to come forward and wait for the lady to wash.

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, rubbing his sleepy eyes, "Isn't it a fixed noon hour, why did you come so early?" ”

"The slave maid listened to Xiao Dezi, the rules in the palace are like this, only those who arrive early, how dare they come at the hour." Zhiyun pressed Niangniang in front of the bronze mirror, and the movements of his hands flew up, dressing up for Niangniang.

"Mei Yuan has passed the word over there, and Princess Yunxian is also here."

Oh?

Su Qian raised a trace of interest, since she angered Long Yan in the autumn hunt, she was detained by King Ling for a while, could it be that she understood the rules of Dazhao, and she was able to come out and walk around.
