Chapter 157: New Year's Pass
The sky is bright, an orange and yellow candle flame continues from the palace gate to the front of the palace gate, a soft sedan chair is parked in the wind and snow, there is a small eunuch who specially carries the sedan chair to guard aside, his hands are in the cuffs, in order to resist the invasion of the cold wind, the palace is brightly lit, for today's day, everything that should be prepared must be prepared.
Several wind and rain lanterns under the corridor swayed out bursts of sleepy light, and the figures of the little palace maids in the inner hall were reflected on the window lattice, and the silhouettes became paintings.
People are most likely to be sleepy when the sky is about to be bright, honeysuckle ruthless, take half cool water for Shen Qingjiao to apply noodles, and ask someone to take the milk and white jade cake that have been prepared on the side: "Niangniang, today is full of all day, first have to go to Fengluan Palace, by the queen mother led the concubines to Ci'an Hall to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, inevitably to go to the morning hour, wait until lunchtime to return to the palace, take a little rest, and have to go to Fengluan Palace to sit, waiting for the New Year's banquet, at the end of the day, people are not tired but good." β
"Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, day after day, the rules in the palace are cumbersome, although it is a small sitting, but it must also sit in a decent manner, and no mistakes can be made." To this day, the child in the womb is stable and stable, and it is almost March, Shen Qingjiao has a lot of peace of mind in her heart, and Dong Ke is doing her best, everything is within Shen Qingjiao's expectations.
It's just that such a peaceful day doesn't know when it will be broken again, she pondered: "It seems that there are more rumors in the palace during this time? β π.π«πΎπΏπ£π.πππ’
Honeysuckle glanced at Shen Qingjiao's expression in the bronze mirror, so he picked the most serious news in the palace recently and said: "The mouths of people in the palace are not idle for a moment, if they are free, they are too sorry for themselves." When Niangniang talked about this, she must have heard it for a while, nothing more than saying that the saint has not been to the harem recently, and it is already a great favor to be able to go to the harem four or five times in a month, but two of these four or five times always belong to the queen's mother. β
"Such a matter of grace, the palace people naturally have to say it, it is nothing more than to say that the queen has been wronged for many years, and after all, she has suppressed Jiang Guifei." Honeysuckle sneered silently, and couldn't suppress the indifference at the end of his eyes: "It's not the slave maid who said, Jiang Guifei was also persevering before, but after touching the wall a few times, she also learned to restrain herself." Now, in the harem, the queen is really much favored. β
"The queen is the middle palace, even if she is favored a lot, only the concubines below will complain, but absolutely no one dares to say this openly." Shen Qingjiao's fingertips scratched the tail of her blue eyebrows, under the copper lamp, Fang Cai's still a little gorgeous appearance suddenly had a touch of softness and coldness, in such days, only such makeup is matched, she whispered: "Wait until the medicine for morning sickness is brought here, I'll drink a bowl and leave." β
"Yes, the slave is ready in the morning." Honeysuckle echoed, pretending to straighten out the corners of Shen Qingjiao's skirt, and the blooming magnolia turned into a budding flower bone: "Actually, Niangniang's reaction has been much smaller recently, and now it's winter again, wearing a wide palace dress, it stands to reason that you can't see it." β
"It's not that there are pregnant people in the palace, a pair of eyes are sharper than a poisonous snake's, the hour is not early, let's go."
Before leaving the palace gate, the wind and snow suddenly became a lot smaller, the residual snow on the top of the sedan chair also had a small eunuch to clean up, the wind and snow were mixed last night, this morning, the palace road was cleaned clean, the red festive palace lamp was beaten by the wind, swaying and swaying, making up for the shortcomings of the sky not bright enough, the red and bright candle flame made people feel a shock, and it was a little human warmth in the towering city wall.
In Fengluan Palace, those who come early will eventually come early, and those who come late will not be afraid of what people say.
When Jiang Guifei entered the palace, everyone had drunk tea for ten years, she was late, her complexion was beautiful, and she pressed all the concubines hard, but for such an ordinary thing, everyone's eyes slid around her, and they got up and saluted as usual.
Jiang Guifei sat in the first position, and said arrogantly: "Get up, this palace thought it was late, but I didn't expect the queen to come out of the inner hall yet, and I want the palace to say, are you in a hurry?" β
Jiang Guifei deliberately delayed the time to come to Fengluan Palace, just to make the queen wait, who would have thought that at this moment, the queen was separated by a screen, holding back her anger, if it weren't for Mo Chun's careful persuasion, she rushed out early, she had been waiting for Jiang Guifei, and she guessed that Jiang Guifei was going to come out of the moth.
Outside, there was only the sound of the tea cup bumping, and the rest was not answered, the queen was very satisfied, and glanced at Mo Chun, Mo Chun went out first, and the queen slowly touched the extremely valuable phoenix hairpin on her head, and waited for a moment before she appeared in front of everyone.
Jiang Guifei snorted lightly, no longer convinced the queen in her heart, but she had to take the lead in getting up and saluting the queen, after all, she was the only concubine, and she couldn't let people grab the handle when she was not sure.
"Concubine Jiang, did you come early?"
The queen held a grudge, and as soon as her words came up, she brought a little ridicule, but Jiang Guifei said unhurriedly: "On a day like today, the concubine can't come early, so don't you have to ask the queen for peace." If it's late, how can the concubine, as the head of the concubines, play an exemplary role? Wouldn't it be a failure to live up to the queen and the saint? β
The only concubine, isn't she the head of all the concubines?
The disgust in the queen's eyes flashed, but there were more important things at the moment, she glanced at Jiang Guifei coldly, got up and said: "Today is the New Year, you should go to the Ci'an Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, although the Queen Mother's illness has not been better, but the Holy Lord cares about the Queen Mother, as the queen, the palace should also sing with the wife, let's go." β
The cold wind outside passed through the layers of the palace, and finally arrived at the Ci'an Hall one step ahead of everyone, when the queen led everyone into the palace, she happened to pass by the two medical officers who came to ask for the pulse, and the queen suddenly said: "How is the queen mother's body?" β
"Back to the queen, Weichen
