The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 51 Red and White
The fire tree and silver flowers are not night, Zhuang Luoyan leans on the steady walking pace, watching the fireworks exploding in the sky, and somehow suddenly thinks of the words that Princess Gui said a few days ago, as fireworks are gorgeous but fleeting.
A woman’s youthful life is short, and she is born as an innocent child. After she understands the innocence of many girls, she has to become a biological child, and the rest of her life is dedicated to her husband, children, and husband’s parents.Three obediences and four virtues, tolerance and generosity, is the duty of a woman's life, although her man's three wives and four concubines, spend a lot of time, even do not even take her into consideration.
The women in the harem are more bleak than ordinary women except for a little more dignity and luxury than other women.Zhuang Luoru is a person who is wise but has greed and fear of death, so she abides by the rules of the game and strives to make herself better.Sometimes when people do not retreat, they cannot compete with God.
"Master, the Temple of Taihe is coming," Yun Xi saw Zhuangluo's expression in a trance, lowering his voice and reminding, "The slave-servant looked at Xu Zhaorong in front."
Zhuangluo roared back and looked at Xu Zhaorong, who was coming from the opposite side, with a smile on his face.
Xu Zhao's appearance is not outstanding. The rare thing is the delicate and delicate body. She also knows that her appearance is not superior in the harem, so she knows how to highlight her advantages.So today wearing a pure white gauze satin skirt with goose yellow cape makes people feel weak.But when she saw Zhuangluo's costume, she felt a little bitten in her heart.
No woman likes to see another woman more suitable for the color she likes. Xu Zhaorong is not reconciled, but has to admit that Zhuang Luoyan is dressed just right. This snow-colored red plum jacket with white fox fur not only makes people feel a little pity. Without losing the luxury, it is just right for the occasion tonight.
Zhuang Luoru looked at Xu Zhaorong but couldn't help crying. He wore so much in this winter. I really don't know if it is beautiful or frozen?Who said Xu Zhaorong was delicate and wore so little in this kind of weather that only Jade Maiden could resist.
"Sister Zhao Chongyi," Xu Zhaorong kept his nod, but the pace of her sitting was unambiguous in front of Zhuangluo.When the wind rose, the skirt under her cloak swayed in the night, which was quite a bit tasteful.
Silently took a breath, Zhuang Luoyan unconsciously tightened the fox fur on his body, determined that there was no cold wind, and then returned to the elegant sitting position with a smile.
Marching in front of the Taihe Temple, Zhuang Luoru stepped down, holding Yun Xi's hand and slowly entered through the right door. The eunuch, who was singing, saw her and lowered his head and shouted, "Zhao Chongyi arrives!"
Zhuang Luoyan entered the hall and saw that the scene was actually a man and a woman sitting on the left and right sides, but the whole hall was very large, and there was a table in the middle. There was a short distance between men and women.Look at this, this dynasty men's and women's defenses did not have some metamorphosis in previous dynasties, at least in this case men and women stayed in one place.
Another time to greet each other, Zhuang Luoru sat down in his seat, carefully disguised to look at the emperor sitting on the head, did not think that the other party was also looking at her, slightly surprised, showing a shy smile, turned While looking down at the jade bracelet on his wrist, he accidentally hit his hand against the edge of the table, and the smile on his face was twisted with pain.
"Oh," Feng Jin lifted his glass, trying to hide his smile, and finally let out a chuckle.
The queen turned her head to look at the emperor, and turned back to Zhuangluo, who was sitting quietly, and raised her brows with a slight smile: "The emperor, today is cold, Zhao Chongyi came from Xihe Temple, and she was pregnant, it is better to give She warms her body with a bowl of hot tea."
"It's up to the queen to do everything." Feng Jin concentrated his smile on his face, not looking at Zhuang Luoru.
The empress smiled unchanged, beckoned to let the maid go down to prepare, and then said to several other concubines and the patriarch: "Zhao Chongyi is pregnant now, it is inevitable to be careful."
Everyone said that the children who had given birth also talked about some things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
Zhuangluo roared Tai Chi with a shy smile, but secretly gritted his teeth in his heart. The queen was asking for hatred for herself.
After receiving the hot milk tea presented by the court lady, Zhuangluo roared to the emperor and the queen thank you, and took a sip without hesitation. The milk tea tasted very normal, and nothing special should be added.
After a while, the Crown Prince of the United States took the envoy to the hall and paid a pilgrimage, and the envoy sent a list of gifts.Every tribute name is auspicious, but after carefully pondering the same, we know that these things are not rare objects.
Zhuang Luoyan looked at the tall American prince, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, and he didn’t look much special. Although he was a prince of a country, he appeared to be respectful in front of Feng Jin and lost his country. The prince should have the momentum.
"Prince don't have to be polite." Feng Jin waved his hand, "Come here, give me a seat."
"Thank you Majesty the emperor." Park Tae Nguyen thanked again and saluted in the direction of the concubines before sitting down in his seat without even daring to look at his eyes.
Zhuang Luoru looked at the Prince Gaomei's every move, and somehow felt that the Prince was not as incompetent as the surface.After all, any rogue country must have an invincible thick face.This man made a polite look on his face, maybe he was thinking about how to ask for benefits in Kyushu.
"The prince came by chance. It happened to be Laba today. On weekdays, I and you Aiqing are busy for the event. It is rare to hold a banquet. The prince should not be kind tonight." Then there was the dance dance, the song and the music, and the whole banquet suddenly became lively.
Pipa is like a jade bead, the singing is like a natural sound, and the dance is dancing, Zhuang Luoyan has to admit that the royal culture is indeed very good, at least more beautiful than the so-called classical dance of later generations.
"Master Zhuang, I heard that Zhao Chongyi was pregnant with a dragon, and Xiaguan first congratulated him here."
Zhuang Shilang looked at the officials in front of him, and toasted with a smile: "Zhao Chongyi gave birth to a dragon for the emperor, but it is his duty. Master Su is kind." Although this man was not a big official, he was a branch of the Su family People, congratulations at this time, it is not true to expect.
The official's face was sloppy. The surname Zhuang was modest in his face. Inside, he laughed at Concubine Shu's duty?No one knows that Princess Shu has been favored and has not been pregnant for a few years. "Where and where the dragon species are not pregnant by anyone. Zhao Chongyi is really a holy family, Zhenglong Fuze."
"Sovereign Su's words were heavy, and the emperor loved it." Zhuang Shilang took a sip of his wine, and he didn't answer the person's words.Now that his sister is pregnant, I don't know how many people are staring at the dealer. He doesn't want to send the handle to others.
What the official wanted to say, seeing the ladies in the bowl carrying a bowl of Laba porridge with fish, they had no choice but to take their thoughts and watched the exquisite Laba porridge come up.
When no one was bothering, Zhuang Shilang glanced at his sister who was sitting very close to the throne. Only a year of harem, it seemed that the original wayward sister had changed a lot.He glanced at it, and even felt a little strange.He knew that the harem was difficult. His sister fell out of favor a few days ago, but he was unable to help. Now that she is favored again, I don't know whether she should be worried or happy about her.
At this moment, the queen suddenly said: "This year's Laba porridge is very finely boiled. Zhao Chongyi should use it more. People with a body, it is very beneficial to eat more beans."
Zhuang Shilang's heart shook. The queen's words obviously meant to push her sister to the top of the storm. The form of the harem was complicated. The baby in the sister's belly was only more than a month...
"The queen doesn't need to be too careful," Feng Jin said. "You are so distressed to her, how can you forget that you love to eat these too. The people around Zhao Chongyi are all fine, waiting for me to send two more pregnant women later. The grandmother of the matter came to Xihe Palace. Don't be tired yourself."
From the outsider's point of view, this expression not only shows the love for the queen, but also expresses the favor for Zhao Chongyi.But the queen felt that the emperor valued the children in Zhao Chongyi's abdomen a little bit, at least unlike the previous few concubines who were pregnant.
"It turned out that the emperor's concubine, the emperor, had a heir," Park Tae-Nuan got up and said: "Your majesty the emperor has to be blessed by the heavens, and his courtiers wait to bow down."
What do you have to obey when a concubine is pregnant?Zhuang Luoru was shocked by the degree of Gao America's flattering shame, bowing his head to cover up the corners of his twitching mouth, and it was invincible.
"I am acting without asking for the world, just asking for my conscience." Feng Jin smiled faintly, obviously not eating this set of farts, "Prince Gao Mei looked at me high."
"His Majesty the emperor has a broad mind, and his ministers are narrow." Park Tae-ruan slapped on the horse's legs without any embarrassment. He still gave him a high hat.
Feng Jin raised his eyebrows, and was not interested in this kind of fart. He looked away and saw his Zhao Chongyi's face... It seems that his love princess can not see this kind of behavior of Gao America. Upper eye.Hooked the corner of the mouth, Feng Jin put down the glass, that blame it would be said that night that really interesting.
The queen looked down at Feng Jin's line of sight and saw Zhao Chongyi, who was using Laba Porridge, and the hand holding the silver spoon slightly, and then she looked back normally.
"Master?" Ling Gui, who served behind Princess Gui, saw the Laba porridge in her bowl hadn't moved, and whispered.
Concubine Shu lowered her eyelids and looked at the slimy porridge in the bowl, seeming to lose her appetite.
"Sui Guifei's appetite seems to be bad today?" Xianfei glanced at Sui Guifei and wiped the corners of her mouth. "I think this year's Laba congee is better than in previous years."
"Xian Fei likes to use more," Shu Guifei scooped the porridge in the bowl and replied with a smile: "This palace has a slightly worse appetite today..."
"master!"
Princess Gui’s words were interrupted by a scream. She looked in the direction of screaming, but she saw Zhao Chongyi lying on the stomach with her belly in front of the table. The snow-white fox fur on her body was dyed bright red. Qiu Shang looked extremely dazzling.
