Chapter 135
Jianzhang Palace.
The queen's appearance today is particularly complicated.
Don't talk about beauty or not, at first glance I feel tired, it takes half a day to put it down, and it takes half a day to dismantle it.
"Niangniang is so beautiful today, the slave doesn't dare to look more, and her eyes will be dazzled if she sees too much."
"If you have nothing to do, you won't have the leisure to pick up yourself."
The queen said lightly.
The Wanshou Festival is for Concubine Shu, Concubine Wei and Concubine Feng to deal with together, but Wei Feng and the others are Concubine Shu's two lackeys, and they usually dare to chew the root of their tongues, and they follow Concubine Shu in major matters, and they definitely dare not speak in front of her. She is the queen of the middle palace, and even the Halloween Festival has been hollowed out, presumably it will not be her turn to do it during the New Year, what does this queen mean in front of her, it is just an ornament!
After dressing up, he went to Changle Palace with the emperor to invite the queen mother, saying that the heavenly family was harmonious and beautiful, and he also fulfilled his filial piety.
This is what the emperor left for her.
The queen was sad.
……
At the same time, the string of red coral finally hung on Yun Jiao's neck.
Xue Ya is determined to dress her up as the pearl of the palace tonight, and her makeup and clothing are all carefully considered.
The white velvet inlay of the clothes cut obliquely over the cheeks, and it is said that pregnant women will have a sallow face, but she is blessed, still fair and delicate like an unmarried girl, and the piping plush lining makes her small face and facial features particularly delicate. She has not yet shown her pregnancy, and her waist is outlined by a buckle made of mutton fat jade, which is a beauty that can only be raised in the prosperous age.
Finally satisfied, Yun Jiao took a photo with a bronze mirror, and was happy: "I'm so good-looking!" ”
"It's not early, the mother has to leave."
Gong Mei pushed the door in to remind.
Yun Jiao went to the main hall to gather with Li Concubine.
Speaking of the main hall and the side room, it has also been talked about.
I forgot which concubine with a broken face provoked her mouth, saying that Concubine Xi Niangniang, you are so favored, you are willing to live in the wrong place? If you move your mouth, Concubine Li has to move her nest.
Yun Jiao didn't think so, she didn't care about living in the right place, as long as the house was comfortable, she wouldn't be happy to let her move. Seeing that he couldn't move, the man said behind his back that Concubine Xi was stupid, and he grabbed it in her place...... But this grace is not hers, and all kinds of separation are in vain.
The two sat on the chariot, and along the way, the pavilion and corridor they looked at were hung with colorful lanterns, and the silk and satin were used as ribbons, turning the snow color of the world into colorful colors, and the people who came and went to the palace had smiling faces on their faces. The treasury is full, the royal family is also generous, there will always be more wages during the New Year's holidays, and the dishes will be better, don't you look forward to this sweetness when you live!
The low-ranking concubines arrived early and saluted them.
Xue Ya, Gong Mei and Mama Ye nervously stayed by her side, saying that it was a crowded day of Wanshou Day, and they were afraid of encountering the gangsters who assassinated the dragon fetus. Yun Jiao saved the file in advance and enjoyed the atmosphere of the festival banquet with peace of mind.
The seats of the minister and the concubine were very separated, and there was no possibility of talking in public.
But if you look at it from a distance, you can still see it.
"Where's my dad?"
Yun Jiao looked.
Finally, at the most conspicuous table, I saw my father recessed in the crowd.
I haven't seen it for a long time, and I haven't grown taller.
Yun Jiao wanted to laugh at first, and then her eyes sore and swollen - she is a human being, she always meets more good people than bad people around her, and the pediatric nurse doctor who pities her for operating alone in the hospital will also secretly give her small toys and cakes during the festival, and the Yun family treats her as if her eyes hurt, no matter how rich and noble the life is in the palace, she still misses her father.
The others didn't know the truth, but they only heard the sound of "Xi Concubine Niangniang has arrived", so they looked over curiously and saw Xi Concubine's face.
The scorching candlelight reflected her face, making her white and smooth face reveal a layer of powder, she had a leisurely beauty, and was not in a hurry to show off her beauty to others, and the beauty that soaked out of her bones could not be ignored.
What's even worse is her pair of eyes, under the crow-like black eyelashes are autumn watery eyes, and the eyes are hooked with a faint red edge, which looks particularly beautiful.
Saying a thousand words and ten thousand, when Yun Jiao doesn't speak and doesn't make superfluous expressions, she does have the capital to suppress the harem.
Now she thinks that her father is sad, and she is afraid that she will lose a little pearl in front of everyone, so she straightens her face and doesn't look around - as soon as her eyes roll, the tears will not be able to hold back, so she is even more beautiful and calm, so beautiful that the ministers of the clan who were invited to the banquet instantly understood why Concubine Xi was favored.
Such a fairy rests in his backyard, and he also spoils!
Some of the people who saw Concubine Xi last time, looked at it again this time, and found that her appearance was even more moving.
Others are afraid of offending the emperor and dare not look at it for a long time, but Prince Kang is not afraid.
Anyway, the emperor didn't want to see him, he didn't look at it in vain, he was envious.
The queen raised her eyes and saw an extra set of tables and chairs on the right.
"That's ......"
She asked.
Xie Zhixing didn't answer her.
At this time, Yinglu walked over and diligently helped Yun Jiao over.
The queen had a heart attack.
Yan Chi respects the left, and arranging the position of Xi Concubine on the right is not overstepping, but she still has a heart attack, and she can't help but ask softly: "Isn't that position reserved for Concubine Shu?" ”
Xie Zhixing answered her this time:
"Concubine Shu, she agrees with my idea, Concubine Xi is pregnant with her twin bodies, so she should sit closer and take care of her."
The queen had another heart attack.
She resented Concubine Shu, how could she let the emperor favor Concubine Xi!
The second hatred is Xi Concubine.
In case of such a major occasion, she can sit down with peace of mind, didn't she think that she was unworthy?
Her afterglow fell on Concubine Xi.
Yun Jiao just sat down, with a hint of regret on his face.
She actually didn't want to sit here, she wanted to share a table with Concubine Li or Ji Guiren.
No matter how bad it is, it's good to have a table with Wei Concubine! I heard that on major festivals, she can pick out the outfits of the guests from the dishes. The seat that made the whole harem envious, in Yun Jiao's opinion, was picked out by the head teacher alone to sit in the key seat next to the podium, and she disliked it very much.
The princess and the eldest prince took turns kowtowing to the emperor to congratulate him on his birthday.
Except for the accident, the other two princesses were very low-key, for fear of attracting the queen's eyes, Yun Jiao almost never saw them in the harem.
The princess offered embroidery, and Princess Ruyi was still young, so she recited a birthday blessing written by Wei Concubine in a crisp children's voice.
After the child kowtows, it is a birthday gift from the concubine.
Yun Jiao stared at it with good eyes, and said in his heart that it was good to be an emperor, and he could receive so many valuable gifts on his birthday, and he wanted to please him!
On the stage, there are dancing girls wearing colorful dance skirts, taking the auspicious image of a hundred birds to congratulate.
Wei Concubine spoke, her voice was not small: "It's a pity that the Lan family is demoted and is not qualified to perform, otherwise her dancing skills are a must, and none of the people in the Shengping Department are skilled in her." ”
"Look at what Sister Wei said, can it be the same?"
"It's different," Wei Concubine nodded: "The Shengping Department's heart will not be higher than the sky." ”
The concubine let out a tacit muffled laugh.
Lan Chang was laughing hotly, but she thought so in her heart.
If she can perform on Halloween, maybe she can surprise the emperor with a dance and bring the holy grace back to herself...... However, the reality is that if it weren't for Hallowe, her current position would not even be qualified to eat at the banquet.
"What does Concubine Xi think? Isn't Concubine Xi going to perform with Concubine Shu? ”
Yun Jiao, who was suddenly named, smiled and said, "I'm just a foil, not as good as Concubine Shuniang." ”
Feng Concubine played a round game: "I heard that Xi Concubine has also worked hard to practice the piano skills for a while, and it is rare to have a piece of heart." ”
Concubine Li was on pins and needles and wanted to escape from the scene.
Seeing that it was almost time for Yun Jiao to perform, she couldn't help but send the palace maid to her side to ask her if she was sure about today, but she had to remember how to play.
After a while, the palace maid came back with a sad face.
Li Concubine: "What did she say?" ”
"Concubine Xi said," the palace maid paused: "She wants to come out of Gong." ”
“……”
When you get down to business, you want to get sparse, what's wrong!
Concubine Li gritted her teeth: "Let her endure it." ”
Thanks to Concubine Shu's blessing, Yun Jiao has seen today's process arrangement.
The more she went to the back, the more she didn't want to enjoy the performance.
Finally, when Concubine Shu appeared, Ji Guiren and Yun Jiao followed.
"The emperor's benevolence and virtue are light on the sun and the moon, the holy envoy of the Son of Heaven Yan Chihai Yan, all the people are happy, the merit is better than Yao Shun, and the concubines have no long things, and they are willing to offer a painting today," she paused: "It's just that the painting has not been completed, so I have to ask the emperor to wait, and Rong Chen's concubine and two sisters will complete it together." ”
Xie Zhixing, who was sitting on the top, bowed his head, knowing that she must have ingenuity in it.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Xi are among the best in the queen's blacklist.
The two were added together, and the queen smiled: "The painting is not finished and it is offered, which is suspected of slacking off the emperor." ”
There was no megaphone these years, the minister sat far away, her words were not high, and Wei Qingchen didn't hear what his daughter was saying.
But when he saw the emperor's brow furrowed, his knees went a little weak.
In order to calm the anger of the Son of Heaven, this time the Wei family bleed heavily on the congratulatory gift.
The emperor's reaction was still faint, and he didn't want the empress to anger Shengyan.
……
Two eunuchs came up with easels.
It was a rectangular canvas that was placed on an easel for everyone to see.
On the canvas, is a picture of 10,000 marigolds, the painting skills are exquisite, the details are lifelike, the only fly in the ointment is that the chrysanthemum petals seem to be uncolored, and the past is bleak at a glance, it is indeed a "semi-finished product".
Yun Jiao saved the file in advance, and sat next to Ji Guiren, playing the piano and blowing the flute.
Before Ji Guiren sat down, he wanted to encourage her, but he heard her muttering: "Potato...... Potato ......"
"You want potatoes?"
"No, I'm treating the audience down there as potatoes."
Ji Guiren.
With a stroke of the lady's pen, her coloring technique is different from that of Yan Chi's mainstream, and the depiction of landscape petals is also more bold and casual.
Her effortlessness is backed by countless days and nights of sweat.
Yun Jiao usually had no effort, but at this time he was already sweating profusely.
I played a wrong note, and I pulled back!
The play was slow, and I didn't keep up with the rhythm of Ji Guiren, and I rolled back!
Yun Jiao felt as if she had been named to perform the most difficult music game on stage at a comic convention, and all of the people here were knowledgeable people, and she was really helpless to perform in it as an illiterate person. She habitually looked at Sister Li Concubine on the seat, but found that the other party looked away and wanted to pretend not to know her.
And even more helpless is Xie Zhixing, who is sitting at the top.
In the eyes of others, although Xi Concubine's piano skills are not amazing, fortunately, she is very skilled and can't find mistakes.
In his ears, it is the effect of children practicing the piano and the player stuttering.
Yun Jiao's level is not high, and he can't even notice where he has a flaw.
Fortunately, Yun Jiao found that Wei Concubine in the banquet was the best error detector.
As long as Wei Concubine frowned, and as soon as she turned her head and wanted to complain about her to the person next to her, she would repeat that syllable. She stumbled back and fell into the ears of the guests who didn't know the truth, but it was quite beautiful.
The official next to Yun Jiao's father accosted him: "Concubine Xi's piano skills are not bad, and Lord Yun teaches her daughter well...... Hey, how can you sweat profusely in this weather? ”
How many catties and taels does his daughter have, Yun Yuan knows too well.
He also dreamed of cultivating a talented girl, until he found out that his daughter was really his own and had limited talent like him.
……
Concubine Shu presented the "semi-finished product" in order to let the marigolds bloom in front of the emperor and illuminate the mountains and rivers under the accompaniment of music.
With such exquisite thoughts, he was praised by the emperor, gave a heavy reward, and gave a sentence: "Concubine Shu has done a good job on this Halloween, and she can still spare her mind to prepare this painting for me after all the heavy things...... It's taken some time! ”
Concubine Shu bowed affectionately, and said that it was thanks to Wei Concubine and Feng Concubine, who were reliable and shared a lot of responsibilities for themselves.
The two who were named were flattered, and hurriedly got up and didn't dare.
But the red light on his face is a joy that cannot be faked.
On such a happy day, the emperor did not hesitate to reward, and rewarded the two of them with a python satin.
Xie Zhixing knew that the preparations for the Wanshou Festival were almost taken over by Concubine Shu alone.
Wei Feng and the others didn't dare to say goodbye to her at all, but when she was in the limelight, she didn't forget to take the two of them to boast together, she wanted real power, but she didn't monopolize the scenery, and the other concubines saw it and knew that there was meat to eat when they followed Concubine Shu, so they were more convinced of her.
When things are done beautifully, he is satisfied.
Today is Wanshou Day, he can only go to Jianzhang Palace to stay, the queen has repeatedly wanted to talk to him, but only got the answer that he has to get up early tomorrow.
Then came the New Year, and the harem was very busy.
Yun Jiao was pregnant, no one came to bother her, she spent a leisurely life with her mother every day, in addition to often replying to the emperor's letters, the small days were so beautiful that they were bubbling. She is more and more inseparable from her mother, Mrs. Yun will go back for two days every ten days, and she misses it very much: "If only my mother could live with me in the palace for a long time, there are a lot of people to serve her, how good, my mother also agreed." ”
She said this in front of Xie Zhixing, and then said: "It's a pity that he doesn't agree." ”
"Who disagrees?"
Yun Jiao said aggrievedly: "Her husband disagrees. ”
Mrs. Yun's husband, isn't that her father?
Xie Zhixing smiled: "I am with you." ”
"The emperor wants to be my father."
She looked up alarmedly.
At this time, she was still wearing the tiger-eared hat he had given before, and she felt as powerful as a tiger raising her head.
Xie Zhixing rubbed her tiger ears and said, "I just want to accompany you more." ”
Yun Jiao felt that he needed to accompany him.
Seeing him becoming more and more clingy, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that although she read back and brushed away his confession, her favorability has always been high?
Soon, Yun Jiao had no time to dwell on these things.
Because of the flood beast called pregnancy reaction, she was cured to the point where she could not eat.
