How could Eunuch Dexiang dare to speak at this time? Only a stupid bastard would touch this bad luck. He looked at his nose and heart, lowered his head and straightened his body, waiting quietly on the side.
After a full cup of tea, Emperor Zhou seemed to calm down and asked: "How are the preparations for tomorrow's banquet in Baoyang? How are the preparations for Yu Guifei?"
Eunuch Dexiang thought about it and said, "Concubine Yu has no intention of having a big event. She said that a poetry meeting should be like a poetry meeting. It is similar to the palace banquets in the past. I have heard about it."
< br>
Seeing Dexiang hesitate to speak, Emperor Zhou showed displeasure on his face and said, "What's the matter? You, a servant of the emperor, are still afraid to speak?"
Eunuch Dexiang knelt down and kowtowed, without even raising his head, and said, "I just heard that your concubine made some jokes to the female officials, saying that she was just a third princess, so she had to have a state banquet to receive her. I'm afraid that She cannot enjoy that blessing and her life will be shortened.”
"Oh, what a Yu Qilan, knowing that this is a symbol of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but still trying to find some face in it, and neglecting the three princesses and all the envoys."
"The noble concubine also said... Dexiang seemed a little embarrassed, but feeling that Emperor Zhou was staring at him, he continued: "The concubine also said that if the banquet allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year is a big one, , then the share of the banquet for each palace queen will be less. ”
There was nothing left on the table to smash, so Emperor Zhou smashed the only seal on the table onto Dexiang's head. Dexiang was in pain and did not dare to say a word.
He was already angry: "What a noble concubine, what a share of the banquet. In the banquets she held in the past years, which one used the share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Don't they, the daughters of aristocratic families, always look down on the royal family? Doesn't it mean that the banquets she held were held with the share of the royal family? Is the banquet going to disgrace her family?
Now she is holding such a shabby banquet in front of envoys from other countries. She has evil intentions and wants the people in Beiyuan to see my joke! Look at how I was raped by aristocratic families and these bitches! ”
The only sound in the imperial study was the sound of Emperor An taking deep breaths and exhaling. Today he was in a state of mood swings and already felt a headache. He said to Dexiang who was kneeling on the ground, "Go to Yuhua Palace!"
Dexiang couldn't express his sorrow today. He put on a smile and said to Emperor Zhou: "Concubine Lan Shu sent people here this morning to put down the sign."
The implication of his words is that even if the sunflower water comes, it will be useless if it goes away.
Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth: "Go to Cheng'en Hall!"
Nowadays, most of the high-ranking concubines in the palace are girls from aristocratic families. Emperor An wanted to welcome some new and wealthy girls from poor families into the palace. However, those who entered the palace either reattached themselves to a certain high-ranking concubine or were submissive in the palace.
What's more, he had a few words with a high-ranking concubine the day before, and the next day his body appeared in the lotus pond in the palace. Yu Guifei turned a blind eye to all this and allowed those women to make her harem uneasy. She gave birth to a lot of daughters but only a few sons.
But only Mrs. Xihua of Cheng'en Palace was different. She was the one he met when he left the palace in private when he was frustrated. Such a gentle and quiet woman could actually risk her life and hunger for the safety of her daughter. Wolves fight.
Several years later, Zhou Tianzi could still remember the feeling when those wet eyes looked at him after he rescued her.
Panicked and yet grateful to the savior.
And although the fourth prince she gave birth to was still young, he would think of him in everything.
When Emperor Zhou arrived at Cheng'en Hall, there was no announcement, and there were no palace maids or servants waiting at the door.
After entering the door, Dexiang gestured to those who saw His Majesty to shut up.
Until Emperor Zhou entered the inner room, he saw Mrs. Xihua lying on the couch with one hand supported on her side. She had a pair of slender hands with skin as bright as jade, and a jade bracelet on her wrist, which made her skin softer.
She was lying on her side with a plump figure. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her delicate and graceful little face still had a pinkish blush. Zhou Tianzi's throat tightened, and his lower abdomen was about to move. His eyes signaled Dexiang, who was following him, to go out. When there were only two people left in the room, Zhou Tianzi walked gently towards the collapse.
The temperature of his hand was a little cold. When he first touched Mrs. Xihua who was lying on the bed, he saw her coquettishly, and then he saw those misty eyes, "Why is Your Majesty here~"
The soft voice had a hint of sleepiness, and was full of coquettishness.
He took advantage of the situation and held the pair of catkins. "My dear, don't be afraid. I asked people not to tell you, but you missed the beauty's nap."
Mrs. Xihua leaned her head against Emperor Zhou's chest and smiled softly: "Your Majesty finally remembered me today~ Why don't you go find Sister Qinglan~"
The embarrassment on Zhou Tianzi's face disappeared in an instant, and then he took off his shoes and socks and got up together.
Within a moment, a slight gasp was heard coming from the room. Eunuch Dexiang was still standing upright at the door, the fly whisk in his hand swaying slightly.
——
Xie Fengyue was woken up by Zhang Zhi at dawn today.
Anyway, it's just an ordinary poetry meeting. Even if you wear a curtain and hat, it won't be too out of the ordinary. Then you have to wear makeup.
As usual, she looked for something with a brocade moiré pattern that was made of a more stable material, and she also chose a tassel style jade, so that it wouldn't look too perfunctory.
It wasn't until she got on the carriage that Lin Qishu came to pick her up and saw that she had brought a box of jewelry and kept trying it on her head that she asked: "Are all poetry gatherings in Shengjing so grand? ”
Lin Qishu helplessly waved the hand that the girl stretched out in front of her eyes: "The post is about a poetry meeting. Who knows what Baoyang is doing? They just sent people to inform every house last night, saying that it was changed to a big feast to replace Princess Beiyuan takes the wind and washes away the dust. What kind of poetry is this? ”
Xie Fengyue's hand that picked up the curtain hat paused.
"Has the Poetry Club turned into a palace banquet?"
Lin Qishu became even more angry when she mentioned this: "This Baoyang must have known that it was going to be changed a long time ago, otherwise why would she have posted to all the men and women half a month ago? I wonder why she invited so many As for me, I just wanted to catch all the girls off guard. Then she would be the only one attending the palace banquet dressed up. Wouldn’t that be a sure thing?”
She suddenly rolled her eyes and carefully looked at Xie Fengyue's beautiful face even without makeup, and asked doubtfully: "Don't you want to enter the palace and become a concubine? Why are you dressed so plainly today? Don’t think that being unique will attract His Majesty’s attention. There are many empresses in the palace who just follow the path of plain soup and little water.”
Xie Fengyue: "?"
Maybe her puzzled expression was too obvious, so Lin Qishu added: "Really, the beauty that His Majesty just accepted was made a concubine on the second day of his acceptance. She just walked out of the clear water and came out with hibiscus, and she naturally carved the beauty." ”
"When did I say I wanted to be a concubine?" Xie Fengyue held her forehead and sighed.
After hearing her words and seeing her helpless look, Lin Qishu thought seriously for a while.
Finally got an answer.
That is. It seems that she just said... that she wants to enter the palace
Lin Qishu felt a little embarrassed
She asked sheepishly: "Then why do you want to enter the palace?"
Xie Fengyue smiled mysteriously and did not answer any more.
