Chapter 45: Chinese New Year's Eve Storm (1)
The Forbidden City is dangerous, but fortunately, with Qingcang and Concubine Hua protecting me, I have never been wronged. Chinese New Year's Eve, just like this, came with flying snow.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Qing Cang invited hundreds of civil and military officials and their families to a banquet in the Taihe Hall. The people in charge of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet were Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua.
The Taihe Hall was arranged by the two of them to be extremely grand and solemn, and the matching of gold and red made it even more rich and festive.
The dancing girls are waving in this magnificent Taihe Hall at this time, with soft bodies and charming eyes. It's a pity that Qing Cang only cares about the wine of the ministers and concubines with a flushed face, and is indifferent to the various temptations in front of him.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Hua sat left and right with Qing Cang, and Concubine Hui did not attend because she was unhappy.
I saw that Concubine Shu was wearing a purple peony palace dress today, and the cuffs were embroidered with a few strands of gold thread, which was extremely noble and elegant. The seven-tailed golden phoenix hairpin and long tassel on her head swayed gently with her and Qingcang's joke, adding a bit of beauty and touching.
And Concubine Hua only wore a light yellow peony palace uniform, and the accessories on her head were just a golden step and two beaded flowers, simple and generous. Although it is not as luxurious as the concubine, it is also fascinating with a smile.
I sat down at the bottom of the house by myself, after all, it was the first time to celebrate the New Year in the palace, and I was restrained.
No one else would laugh with me, so I had to look at my father diagonally in front of me. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I always feel that my father is a little older again.
I was worried about not being able to fulfill my filial piety for my father, when a crisp and pleasant voice came from beside me, "Little Lord Ronghua." ”
When I heard the prestige, my complexion was delicate and my body was plump, and it was Meiyin who promised.
"The concubine has seen the little lord of Ronghua." She was slightly blessed and greeted me, but her words were full of disdain.
I smiled back, and didn't care. Meiyin promised to be born as a palace maid, and at first she was favored with a tactful voice, but the favor was not deep, but Qingcang would always summon her every month, or stay in her palace for two days.
But later...... Her grace is only a pale embellishment in a dream. Coincidentally, when she fell out of favor, it was when I was proud.
Looking at Meiyin's promise, I couldn't help but sigh at the fate of the palace concubine, there was no choice but to fight.
The new and the old may not be terrible, but I am afraid that when I have exhausted almost my life of youth and beauty, if I can stand at the peak of power and honor, the scenery is infinite, and there is still a place to rely on the glory. If you can't, but you have no way back, you can only watch the prosperity and decline, lose everything step by step, and end your life in the Forbidden City.
"Concubine to Sister Ronghua, please say goodbye." Just as I was losing my mind, a sweet and greasy voice came, and I was intoxicated.
Looking up, it was a sweet girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Standing behind Meiyin's promise, the two of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, although Meiyin promised to try her best to behave nobly, she was somewhat emulative. The sweet girl has a sweet appearance, clear eyes, and seems to be simple and harmless, without pretentiousness.
Tiancainu's father is just a county Cheng of Zhengqipin, and she wants to come from the open and secret battles in the mansion when she is a child, so she has such a temperament, "Sister doesn't have to be polite, you entered the palace earlier than me, and I have to call you sister." ”
When the sweet girl heard this, she smiled and said, "Sister Ronghua is really a person with a very good temperament, hehe." ”
"In that case, the little lord of Ronghua should also call his concubine sister," Meiyin agreed to say expressionless at this time, and this remark caused everyone's hearts to be worried.
"I can't wait for it, there is a family of sisters in the harem, where can there be so many false courtesies?" I was slightly stunned, but I didn't argue with her, just behaved modestly and generously.
