The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 19 Pears
"Zhao Peng is happy about the water lily?" The emperor asked Gao Dezhong when he came back.
"Going back to the emperor, Zhao Peng is very fond of water lilies, and now the eunuch of Taoyuge moved the water lilies to the house." Gao Dezhong answered honestly.
"Well," Feng Jin nodded, and waved back Gao Dezhong.
Concubine Shu’s birthday was held at the Queen’s Jingyang Palace. The time of Zhuangluo’s arrival was not too early or late, and she was not too eye-catching among the concubines. Several of the concubines chatted with her.
"Sister Zhao Peng looks very good today," Jiang Xian Peng, the neighboring table, smiled.
"Sister, too," Zhuangluo roared back with a smile. Although she didn't know that Jiang Xianpeng was just a polite or ulterior motive, she didn't want to guess too much.
Yan Guipin sat on the head of Zhao Ping, heard the conversation between the two, turned her head to look at Zhuang Luoyan, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhao Peng looks really good, maybe her birthday is coming and she is in a good mood."
Sure enough, this kind of obvious and concealing words actually made Zhuang Luoru find it difficult to parry. She smiled and looked at Yan Guibing: "Today the lady Gui Guifei’s birthday is lively, the younger sister is a shallow, looking at the lively I was a little bit happy first, but let my sister read a joke."
Yan Guipin smiled and flirted: "Sister Guigui's birthday is naturally happy." After he finished speaking, he looked back, and there seemed to be no interest in talking to Zhuang Luoru again.Jiang Xianpeng and Wang Ping on the other side glanced at each other, only when they did not see the two confronting each other.
"The Queen Mother is here."
Zhuangluo roared up and saw the queen appear in a robe, and the noble robe gleamed under the candlelight. As the concubines asked the queen to settle down, she saw that the queen had adjusted the seat of the concubine to her head, and she lowered her eyes. Looking at the ground.
"Today is Princess Gui's birthday, we are all sisters, and we don't have to stick to the rules, just have a lot of fun," said the queen, holding the hand of Princess Gui, and letting all the concubines and sisters sit down together and give them A look, comprehend with Jade, waved the musicians waiting outside to come in and sing and dance.
The first dance was Ma Gu He Shou. The woman who danced was soft and graceful, and Zhuang Luoyan, a person without dance cells, had a taste.
"This palace looks good at this dance, and Ji Qing is graceful," the queen said after the dance, "He Yu, reward!"
"The slave maid thanked the empress queen," thanked the woman who played Ma Gu.
Seeing the queen rewarding things, other concubines also followed the rewards, and Zhuangluo roared himself with joy, and then he also rewarded something. Looking at the age of the dancer, I am afraid that it was only 15 or sixteen years old, just I don't know why, she always feels that the smile on Princess Gui's face is a little stiff.
Peeled a longan into the mouth, the sweet taste made Zhuangluo roo feel good.After Ma Gu's birthday, several dancers holding pipa came up.
"In the early years, Sister Gui's sister danced the harem with a lute. Although these dancers were not as good as you, they could still watch it," the queen said, and clapped her hands to start.
It is worthy of being a court-specific dancer. These women's beautiful dances give people a sense of fluttering. Zhuang Luoru glanced at the costumed Princess Gui, I wonder how beautiful the dance of Princess Gui was then?
The sound of the pipa fell like a bead. When Zhuangluo roared, he only heard the sharp voice of the eunuch from outside.
"The emperor is here!"
This time the song didn't sing, the dance didn't dance, the concubines didn't tout each other anymore, and even the queen got up and greeted her.
Feng Jin went to the Queen's Palace and looked at the beautiful women all over the room. There was a smile on his face. "You don't need to be too polite." After that, she walked toward the upper position after holding the queen's hand.
"Emperor Xie," the concubines stood up and stepped aside. They did not sit down again until the emperor was seated, but they were more restrained than before.
Zhuang Luoyan covered his mouth with the longan nucleus in his mouth, and then sat down honestly, never being the eye-catcher.
"Today Sister Guifei's birthday, I will come and see," Feng Jin smiled at Sister Guigui and rewarded a bunch of things.
The concubines were both jealous and hateful, but when they looked at the queen, they were not dissatisfied, and they all smiled Yan Yan said auspicious words. I am afraid that what they thought was only known to them.
The emperor brought Jiu Zhan to Feng Jin, and Feng Jin took a sip and looked at the dancer standing quietly on the side, "How did you just dance, how is it going to happen now."
"Yes," the dancers jumped once again, and Feng Jin looked down for a while and then put down the wine cup said, "This dance is still worse than Princess Gui."
The Queen heard the words and said with a smile: "Shu Guifei's dancing posture is really rare. These girls can jump out of Shuanggui Fei's charm, which is a bit of hard work."
"Well," Feng Jin nodded. "If you are talking about dancing, Shu Guifei is the first to follow Yan Guipin." After that, she gave Shu Guifei a wine, but no reward for Yan Guipin.
Zhuangluo Rouge saw that the concubine drank the wine shyly and shyly. She could not help feeling with emotion. The emperor's rewarded wine was afraid that even the non-drinkers would hold on to it.
After listening to Qu'er for a while, Feng Jin's eyes swept the concubines under the seat, and she noticed Zhao's peeled longan shell. She looked at the pleasant appearance of Qu'er while eating longan, which really gave people a leisurely worry. Feng Jin couldn't help but look at it more.
The longan in front was almost the same. Zhuang Luoru wiped her hands with a handkerchief with regret, and listened carefully to the song. Although she did not understand the meaning of the ancient song, it was also good to appreciate the beauty of the beauty.
"I looked at this longan, but it was good," Feng Jin peeled a longan into his mouth, and said to the queen, "Everyone will serve another longan."
The queen said yes, everyone in the room added another longan.
Seeing an extra plate of longan, Zhuang Luoyan smiled and continued to peel the shell to listen to the music, and then sneaked a glance towards the emperor. Seeing the first few people who didn't pay attention to them, they took out the means of the previous mixed meal, seeming to eat It’s slow, but when it’s fast, I’m not soft.
Concubine Shu, who drank a few more wines, looked at the musician who sang below with faint red cheeks, thinking about the time when she was amazed at the emperor’s time with a lute dance. Day?
After the banquet, Feng Jin took the slightly concubine Shu Guifei away, and the rest of the concubines also honestly please leave.
The queen sat on the phoenix, looked at the silence of the temple, and looked across the wine bowl and fruit plate in front of the emperor. I saw that the plate was called a good longan by the emperor, and it didn't move much.
"This palace is lacking. Set it up." The emperor's back was as calm as water, holding Heyu's hand to get up, glanced at the longan again, and walked away.
"Master, the emperor rewarded you with some fragrant pears and said that they were taken away from the fire to reduce the heat." Tingzhu came in carrying a food box with four fragrant pears in it.
Zhuangluo stunned for a moment, then relieved, this hot day gnawing some pears or fire.
Seeing that the master liked it, Yun Xi picked a pear and peeled it, thinking about it. The master used so many longans tonight, his body was easy to get angry, and eating a pear was suitable for his body.
