Chapter 53: A Broken Painting (2nd Update)

Concubine Li is worthy of her title, and she is dressed up with her heart today, and she is even more glamorous.

The bright and bright beauty always takes advantage of the occasion when it is necessary to dress up to attend, and when others look at it, they first see her red and gorgeous lipstick, and a pair of eyes that look like peach blossoms.

In this kind of scene, Yun Jiao should have been a little lacking.

Her facial features are impeccable delicate and beautiful, but they can be born from the heart, the soul is not big, the bright and smart eyes are accompanied by a smile, revealing a childish spirit, unless you can sit there for a day without saying a word, no matter how beautiful you are, you can't be a famous beauty who moves the world. The advantage is that men, women and children are killed, and at that time, the queen mother's eyes were met in the draft.

But today, everyone's eyes couldn't help but pass over Concubine Li and fall on Yun Jiao.

She wore an orange and black tiger fur coat, a symbol of the top of the food chain in nature, but it was cut to fit her figure, with a hood and a pair of small tiger ears on top of her head.

That pair of tiger ears is really a genius design!

This coat didn't suit her at all, how powerful and domineering is the tiger? What's more, it was an adult tiger that was taken down by the emperor, but after adding tiger ears, when her smart eyes peeked out from under the edge of her hat, she was like a little tiger who was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

But when you take your seat, you have to pull your hat down.

Without the tiger hat, it is somewhat a bit of a tiger with a big tail.

"Where did Xi Chang get this tiger material?"

"Is there still a tiger skin this time?"

Those who didn't go to the Cold Sun Hunting Ground all talked in low voices.

The queen at the top changed her face slightly. The gold nail set was lightly scraped on the tabletop. The tiger skin that was hunted by the emperor himself turned out to have fallen on her! He didn't even come to ask her if she wanted to.

She knew that the emperor had always been like this.

If it is rewarded to the harem, it will be handed over to her first, and she will distribute it, and she will take the best except for sending it to the queen mother, and he will not ask, and the palace power is firmly in her hands. But those who can be rewarded by him are often favored concubines.

Although those concubines are in their hands, they are less than one thousandth of the hands of the lord of the middle palace.

But here the queen screwed up.

She already has the palace power, and she still wants the emperor's special and cherished love.

What others think, for the time being, can only stay at the stage of thinking, Yun Jiao sat down, next to Wei Concubine, Xu Guiren and Ji Guiren.

"Hee Chang is here, where did you get this tiger skin coat?"

Xu Guiren couldn't help but ask.

Wei Concubine glared at her.

Why do you want to give Hee-chang a chance to show off in this!

Yun Jiao smiled slightly: "Back to my sister's words, this is the tiger skin that the concubine hunted with her own hands." ”

Ji Guiren, who also accompanied the autumn hunt next to him: ?

Xu Guiren was shocked: "How can you have such ability?" ”

"People and human constitutions cannot be generalized."

"Then tell me how you beat the tiger." Xu Guiren will be skeptical.

"The concubine was using a sliding shovel to cut open the belly of the tiger with a knife while sliding under its belly."

Xu Guiren was raised in the deep boudoir, he had never seen a real tiger, he had only seen a portrait of a tiger, he probably imagined the picture, and felt that it could be implemented, so he actually believed half a point: "Really? ”

"Fake."

"Hee is always here!"

"Sister, don't worry, the concubine is afraid that her sister will be bored, so she deliberately made up a story to make her sister happy."

The little tiger shook his head.

Fortunately, the banquet began soon, and since it was the concubine's birthday, it was not as elaborate as the state banquet, and when the dishes were handed over, it was still hot. Dried fish, crab noodle box, shrimp balls in soup, steamed saury, grilled eel, crystal meat...... Concubine Jiang has made a lot of money, and the silver taels are enough, and the dining room also has everything she needs.

Xu Guiren snorted: "Is your tiger skin coat really tiger skin?" It's not like the Yun family can afford it. ”

Yun Jiao is eating crabs.

Xu Guiren was slightly annoyed: "Xi Chang is here, I'm talking to you!" ”

Yun Jiao looked up blankly with shrimp balls in his mouth.

What did you tell her to do? She's just a little tiger who can only cook.

Concubine Li glanced at her and hated that iron could not become steel: "Are you hungry when you eat so quickly?" ”

"Hungry! The concubine hasn't eaten the last meal for this meal, and the concubine brought Eli Lilly, so she must eat it back, can these two particularly expensive dishes be served on two more plates? Didn't eat enough. ”

What can Concubine Jiang's palace maid say?

They can only say yes, for fear of affecting the mother's face.

Some of the Chang Zai who were also invited couldn't help but look sideways when they heard this, and someone whispered: "I'm really envious of Xi Chang, let's also clip two more chopsticks, and the money can't be spent in vain." ”

The low-ranking concubines were able to eat and dress warmly in the palace, but they were only full, and there was no place to make money, so they lived with that little example. Originally, she was a transparent person in the palace, but Concubine Jiang wanted to make a big show and invited them to play tricks at her own expense, so she had to eat it at the banquet?

But the education they received since childhood made them unable to even let go of eating.

Yes, they didn't eat and drink for nothing, they mentioned Eli Lilly.

The congratulatory gift was purchased by these small promises to squeeze out of the teeth, and the life that was not rich was even tighter! Seeing that Xi Chang was at this end, they also put down their burdens and followed the chopsticks.

At this time, their hearts were full of gratitude for Hee-chan-jae.

I thought that this was the limit, but halfway through eating, Yun Jiao turned his head and ordered: "Wait a minute, pack a new one of those two cold dishes and three kinds of dim sum and bring it back to the palace for me, and touch the joy of Concubine Jiang's mother." ”

Little Promises: "......"

They really can't even eat and take, they really can't do this.

Concubine Li wondered: "I don't have you to eat and drink in my palace?" ”

"How can it be, Niangniang," Yun Jiao wiped her mouth elegantly: "This is the joy of eating a flowing water mat." ”

The queen only sat for a while, her wine was on her lips, and she left the scene after congratulating Concubine Jiang.

She is very self-respecting, and she will come today, just to show goodwill to the Queen Mother.

……

Before the banquet, Concubine Jiang asked the palace maid to read the gift list.

The palace maid read in a leisurely tone, the masters above the concubine are more generous in giving gifts, and one person can give a variety of gifts, especially the gift list of the three big Buddhas in the harem, each of which took a lot of time to read out, and finally read it to the permanent position.

The palace maid recited: "Xianfu Gong Xi is always there: a picture of his birthday." ”

Concubine Jiang was interested.

She has always been good-looking, and she also asks others to make her face, and if she gives a gift that is not expensive enough, then this person will be recorded in a small notebook by her. The concubines all understand the temperament of Concubine Jiang, and most of them send precious fabrics and furnishings that will not go wrong.

But the birthday picture?

Concubine Jiang knew that Xi was always poor and white, and there was only one sesame petty official's father.

Xi Chang's official position in her father is in the eyes of Concubine Jiang, so she can only be called a miscellaneous person, and she can't be regarded as an official master.

"Oh? Xi Chang is so ingenious, I don't know which of everyone's works? ”

Yun Jiao, who was named in public, could only stand up and reply: "Back to Niangniang's words, the birthday picture is not from everyone's hands, but from the concubine's heart. ”

"What do you think?"

Concubine Jiang raised her eyebrows, and looked at Yun Jiao's eyes full of contempt: "Xi Chang didn't have a reputation in Beijing before entering the palace, and the so-called intentions were just perfunctory remarks used to cover up the congratulatory gifts he gave!" A broken painting that is neither talented nor valuable, but also a loss to Xi is often giving it away! ”
