The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 60 Dinner
The royal banquet has always been exquisite and luxurious, but after Cheng Xuandi succeeded to the throne, because there are few brothers of the same generation, the annual banquet will not be as luxurious as the previous emperor.
Because of the Chinese New Year, Zhuang Luoru put on the Chinese dress admired by the emperor very consciously, and refined the makeup in front of the mirror to make his face look very rosy.
"Master, how are you?" Yun Xi looked at the dazzling Zhuangluo, and didn't understand why Master was indifferently dressed.
"It's another year in a blink of an eye," Zhuang Luoyan traced a pair of willow-eyebrows, and said in the corner of his mouth, "Everyone wants to be happier today, why should I make that look to block people."
Yun Xi suddenly understood that the weak appearance was of course pitiful, but as a harem woman, she must also understand the general, and want to get a good deal for the Chinese New Year. If he is facing a bitter gourd face, who is happy?
The annual banquet is still held in the Taihe Temple. In addition to the royal family and the envoys of the neighboring subsidiary countries, the inexplicable excitement, Zhuangluo Roogang entered the hall, and encountered the same costumed Yan Guipin.
"The concubine has seen Zhao Xiuyi," Yan Guipin bends her knees slightly, "Zhao Xiuyi looks much better, and she wants to recover a lot."
How much does Yan Guipin want to poke her lung tube?Zhuang Luoyan's face stiffened with coordination, "Yan Guibin looks good today."
Yan Guibin smiled like a flower, "each other."
On the dragon seat, Feng Jin clings to a glass, sweeps his eyes across the corner, and reaches out to invite Gao Dezhong, "Gao Dezhong, I remember a few months ago, I said that I wouldn't take the position of Yan Yangui within two years?"
Gao Dezhong bowed and replied: "Emperor, you did say this. You have forgotten everything, and you forgot to forget this matter, and it was not good for the slaves to do things. You forgot to remind the emperor of this matter, and ask the emperor to forgive sins."
"Yes, you have a lot of things all day," Feng Jin waved his hand, and said in a flat tone, "Since this, so that the province does not have to prepare the reward of Yan Guibin's promotion, she has no merit or success. Governing the virtues of the harem, it is enough to be in the position of your wife."
The emperor's words were not loud, but enough for the queen sitting beside him to hear clearly. She looked at Yan Guipin, who was wearing a pink jacket, unchanged, and there was a mockery in her eyes.
The news of who is going to be promoted in the harem has been passed out. The emperor withdrew Yan Guipeng's will at this time, and said these words, which made Yan Guipang disgraced.This Yan Guibin is also not thinking, unless she does something that does not invite the emperor to see her, even if there are two points of the pet, she is squandered.
It is better for the woman in this harem to go out with a little brain.
Yan Guibin didn't know that her destiny in the harem was already doomed. After stimulating Zhuangluo roar, she sat down in her place in a good mood, with some complacency in her expression.
Zhuang Luoyan's position is adjacent to Su Xiuyi, and at the left of Su Xiuyi, one position is enough to prove who is more noble.After meeting each other, Zhuang Luoyan sat down, supported the gold butterfly spreading his wings at the left side of the temple, and tilted his head to look at the opposite clan and the envoys of the affiliated countries.
"Listen to bamboo, the one wearing Xinghuang's costume is the high American prince?" Zhuang Luoyan half covered his face with a handkerchief, and whispered to him behind him.
"Go back to Master, and that's it. The first two days ago, this Prince Gaomei also sent a few hundred years of ginseng to our palace." Listening to Zhu deliberately lowered his voice, "The gift-giver said that the Master would make a few words for them. Sentence."
"What do they think I am," Zhuangluo sneered, "We haven't seen a few broken ginsengs." I don't have a good impression of Zhuangluo's high American, because this country really gives her a sense of substitution of a country in the past life. Whenever shameless in this country, she wants to trample on it.
Listening to Zhu was choked by such unwelcome words by her master, in her memory, her master was still a relatively peaceful character. Suddenly hearing such mean words, she started to think about what the high American prince hated the master.
Maybe it's... Master doesn't like ginseng?
This kind of plot to despise you through time and space will not understand bamboo, so until the banquet began, she still did not want to understand what is going on.
The matter of Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage was known up and down in Manchu Dynasty, but many people didn't know what was going on. However, seeing the emperor's attention to Zhao Xiuyi, the dealers became more and more prestigious in Beijing. It is the home of books and fragrances, and it is quite low-key. Some people who want to go to camp are unable to find a flattering favor.
The people in the royal family have been controlled and obedient since the emperor Cheng Xuan was succeeded. No one can't think about it, so they never talk about the harem. What do they do in the emperor's family?
So everyone saw that Zhao Xiuyi appeared on the banquet in a suit, well-dressed, and did not see any sickness on his face. He felt emotion in his heart, and it is no wonder that the emperor loved it. rare.
Perhaps this Zhao Xiuyi is the next Shu Guiyi. In the future, they still pay attention to the things related to this Zhao Xiuyi. Although they are royals, where is the Emperor's eyes, where can they get the weight of the favored concubine?
This woman's pillow style is sometimes more powerful than a fold.
Zhuang Luoyan naturally did not know the idea of the clan. For the women in the harem, the opinions of others were not the most important. What was important was how the emperor saw it.
Although the royal banquet is exquisite, but one thing is unsatisfactory, that is, she did not use a few chopsticks to come up with each dish, so she withdrew it and replaced it with a new dish.
Yun Xi and Ting Zhu carefully waited for Zhuangluo's meal, but also to identify which dishes are not suitable for postpartum people to eat. After all, the main son's birth is not yet a month, so be careful.
Yun Xi stopped a dish served by a court lady, "This dish is too spicy and you don't have to serve it." At least one should be convinced that the master really thought he was miscarried.
Zhuang Luoru was eating a snack, watching the heaven and earth ensemble dance performed on the table, blinking tiredly, and gathered the fur on his body.
Upon hearing this, he quickly passed Tang Tangzi to Zhuang Luoyan's hands.
After the heaven and earth dance together, it was another pipa celebration spring dance. Zhuang Luoru looked at the woman who led the dance and felt a bit familiar.After thinking for a while, I remembered that this was the dancer who danced to the emperor before seeing the Jinfeng list.
"Emperor, this dance is really graceful, but she didn't lose the concubine's back then," the queen said with a smile. "Since Concubine's concubine, the concubine has never seen such a good dance for many years."
Princess Gui's face was not very pretty, but she said on her mouth: "The queen's mother is wrong."
Feng Jin glanced at the two, and turned to the woman who led the dance. He said: "Since the queen thinks she is good, let's be a talent. I also think that her dancing posture is comparable to that of Princess Gui."
After listening to the conversation between the three, Zhuang Luoru's mouth twitched slightly, and the emperor's words were ruthless enough to strike the queen and Princess Gui together.
"It's just a dancing girl," Su Xiuyi hummed, but didn't say much. If Zhuangluo Ro was not close, she wouldn't hear her complain.
Zhuang Luoyan carefully looked at the dancing girl, turning her eyebrows and bright eyes, her soft waist was unbearable, and it was truly outstanding.It was just that the emperor used such a dancing girl to compare with Princess Gui, and it did make a face.
Although the Su's family is not expensive in Beijing, Princess Shu also attracted the emperor's favor with her dancing postures, but anyway, it was called a family. Who knew this Wu Ji was born in poverty?
After the dance, the emperor summoned Wu Ji to step forward, "What's your name?"
Wu Ji bowed with indescribable style, "Go back to the emperor, the slave-servant called Momei."
"Beauty rolls the bead curtain and sits down on the moth eyebrows," Feng Jin groaned slightly. "It's a good name, so I'll call you a talented person, and live in the palace of Linyuexuan."
The dancing girl named Momei exposed her face with joy and shyness, and knelt down to thank her.
Zhuang Luoru couldn't help but glance at this newly-increased talented person. The poem that the emperor read was really bad. The beautiful girl rolled the curtain and sat deep in her eyebrows.But seeing wet tears, I do not know who hates.This is a poem of abandoning a woman's resentment. The emperor used this word to describe the dance girl. I don't know whether to use the dance girl as a gadget or to mean something.
Seeing the emperor sealed another stunning beauty into the palace, the concubines were a little bit unsatisfactory, and the banquet in the back was even tasteless.
Zhuangluo roared on the face also showed two points of loneliness that could not be concealed, but the speed of eating did not slow down, no matter when, don't be more delicious.
If at this time, who is the most unsatisfactory in her heart, it is Yu Shugui. She looked at the talented person, and felt that the empress was embarrassing herself, but because of her identity, she had to bear it.
The queen’s face had already recovered, and she smiled lightly: "Since the emperor loves it, the concubine can’t wait any longer. He Yu, the red Su embroidered in the library of the palace, is given to the genius. The posture will match the embroidery of the Su."
At the end of this remark, Zhuangluo Rouge saw that the faces of several concubines were even more ugly, and the hatred value was given to the enemy. The queen really made the flames perfect.
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Since the queen is so proud of you, saying that we are not as good as you, this palace should give some rewards." After that, he invited Lingsha, "reward the treasure of the red jade in the palace. Talented."
Did this transfer hatred to the queen?Zhuang Luoru felt that Shu Guifei's move to Dafa was also very good. Looking down at a piece of orange in his mouth, Zhuang Luoru had to watch the show.
Unexpectedly, the two of them started off, and the other concubines of high ranks began to reward. Zhuang Luoruo looked at the talented person with a happy face, and wiped the corner of his mouth, saying, "Where I have nothing rare, just take Qian'er. Give her jade bracelets to Jincai people."
"Xie Zhaoxiu Yixiang." Zhen Cairen knelt down and thanked with a blush of joy on his face.
Zhuangluo roared back his gaze slightly, and was welcomed by the emperor to the harem on this occasion. I wonder if the final scene will be the scenery or the sad ending?
Su Xiuyi looked down at Zhuang Luoyan, and suddenly smiled and said: "Zhao Xiuyi seems to be in a bad mood?"
Zhuang Luoru looked back at Su Xiuyi, was this a fixed blow?
