The rumors about Jin Xi and Li Chang gradually subsided.WWW.tsxsw.COMThe fun of spreading rumors is nothing more than satisfying one's curiosity to explore other people's affairs. It is also based on spying on the pain of the parties after hearing the rumors.
The satisfaction of their own joy. Therefore, if the parties turn a deaf ear to the rumors, they will gradually lose interest.
Xuan Ling and I turned a blind eye to Li Chang and Jin Xi's renewed contact, and even the queen did not dare to interfere any more.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, things started getting busy in the morning. First, the emperor and the empress went to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven, then the empress and her majesty met in the palace to congratulate Xuan Ling, and finally the concubines above the noble concubines were taken by the empress to the Yining Palace to pay homage to the empress dowager.
Please congratulate me.
My mood was confused and sour, with a hint of expectation. I woke up early in the morning and put on makeup, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, with a phoenix crown and robes, and was lost in the congratulatory crowd. Before the night banquet, the concubines and the prince's family members would not meet each other.
By the time the worship service was over, it was already noon. After a hasty nap, I had to take off my formal clothes and change into slightly simpler clothes to prepare for the evening family banquet.
When she woke up from her nap, Huanbi was already changing and freshening up. She wore a round-neck straight long dress made of soft and tender light cyan satin. The neckline was embroidered with small gold-dotted water-green tendrils. The cuffs were rolled with a continuous grape lace pattern, and underneath was a lotus-colored woven silver silk blouse.
She wears a pleated skirt, a jacket and a bright satin with a sky blue rose pattern, and a double-breasted jacket, both decorated with swallow buttons. She is dressed up in this way, and her snow-white skin color reflects the soft blue clothes, and she looks like a tree by the Huansha stream.
The green smokey willows are reflected in the shadow.
When Huanbi saw it was me, she felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly took off her clothes. Even though I felt sour in my heart, I understood what she was thinking, so I held her hand down and said, "My clothes are very good, don't take them off." I said.
Opening the jewelry box on the dressing table, she picked out a white jade double-knot hairpin inlaid with red coral beads and pinned it in her bun. She also buried a few pearls in her smooth bun, with Huanbi on her temples as usual.
I put on a light red autumn rhododendron and a pair of gilt jade flower basket earrings. I took a picture in the mirror and smiled myself.
Huanbi then felt a little apprehensive, her bright eyes lowered slightly, and hesitantly said: "Slave... I don't want to steal the young lady's limelight, I just don't want... to be too ugly."
I smiled, "Wouldn't it be nice to be able to dress up well at an age when you can dress up well?" After a pause, he added, "I feel ashamed in front of him. If I have any limelight, it should only be in front of the emperor."
Huanbi unconsciously touched her cheeks, which were as red as the clouds. She looked even more radiant and soft than usual like a little daughter. She opened the rosewood carved twenty-four dense lattice wood wardrobe to pick out clothes for me.
There are hundreds of dazzling dresses to wear in autumn, woven with gold and silver, inlaid with jade and beads, and the room is filled with flowing splendor.
Huanbi was dazzled for a while, and finally chose a light mist purple dress. The lotus cloud and Penglai pattern had a soft and rippled beauty, making the whole person look like a light purple cloud. Between her arms.
She wore a piece of jade-colored smoke gauze with tassels of twisted pearls and silver threads. Thinking back to the year we first met, she seemed to be wearing such purple palace clothes. Xuanqing and I met unexpectedly.
Wearing such purple, my heart softened like a flower bud. Huanbi sighed softly and put a chain of sunset flowers made of white jade around my neck, with the budding flowers hanging down.
In front of my chest, there seemed to be countless flowers of thoughts blooming.
And I am no longer as delicate as a flower.
Time passes by slowly, like a pool of still water. Although the gurgling is gentle, it is slowly moving forward. Just like the secret flow of a woman in the palace, the fleeting time cannot be stopped no matter what.
Beauty can grow old in a blink of an eye, and youth can grow in an instant! This sentence made me feel deeply when I saw so many young concubines at the night banquet.
Especially Ye Lanyi's favor, she also understands it better. Because it is the day of the imperial palace, today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the concubines are naturally full of lust for beauty, all dressed up like flowers in full bloom in spring.
, for fear of falling behind others. In order to express the joy of the festival, most of the palace concubines wore gold-woven palace clothes. Even those lowly palace concubines who had not seen the saints for a long time also wore brocade clothes that held money, and everyone looked around.
It is a shimmering gold and silver, and the light of the pearls and jade is shining brightly, and the Ziao City is a flashy and bright scene of singing and dancing.
However, the most eye-catching thing in the world is that Yian Changzai Ye Lanyi has been favored since the beginning of the year. No, now he is a noble person.
Although she had a low status, except for the three pregnant concubines, she was second only to Hu Zhaoyi at the table. Even Lu Zhaorong, who gave birth to Emperor Shuhe, was pushed to the back.
Even though the concubine secretly bit her silver teeth with hatred, she did not dare to show anything on her face.
Lady Yan wears a neat palace dress embroidered with Tianshui blue silk. The two layers of light green and dark green palace gauze on the inside and outside are intricately overlapping, making her movements seem like a pool of spring water swaying. Her clothes are always green, which is more colorful than raccoon ones.
Bi's gentle expression, Yan Guiren is even more cold and sparse in the splendor, and she is a bit of desolation hidden in the bustling tea. Her hands are folded on the smoky color silk and moon blue acacia flower elastic gauze skirt, the moon blue
The petals are the inner folds of moon-blue floating deep in the swing. The moment the noble lady swayed her head, the golden-boughed double-headed tiger-eye hairpin drew a clear and turbulent wave, just like her usual expression, free in singing and dancing.
Beyond the hustle and bustle, it is as confusing as uncaptured clouds.
In fact, given her background, it was unexpected to receive such great favor. However, she seemed to really not mind, or was really dissatisfied. She was always so cold, with an indifferent smile and cold eyes.
.
This day is also the day when Meizhuang has been pregnant for a hundred days. It is rare for three high-status concubines to be pregnant at the same time in the palace, so the feast is particularly lively and grand. Meizhuang has always been generous and decent in the eyes of everyone in the palace, and is also loved by the Queen Mother.
, now that she is pregnant, it is inevitable that she will attract attention.
Until the banquet started, my mind was in a daze. I was vaguely looking forward to something, but it only added to the fear of how embarrassing it would be after meeting each other. It wasn't until Xuan Ling called out twice that I suddenly looked back.
Xuan Ling shook my hand and said with concern: "My hand is so cold, but it's because of the wind and cold?"
I smiled and said, "It's just that the wind feels cool at night."
Huanbi said hurriedly: "Miss's outer clothes are in the side hall, please go and get them." Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly stopped and her eyes flew away, firmly fixed in the distance.
Almost with a tremor in his heart, where Huanbi's eyes were shining, it was Xuanqing who stepped in with his hands behind his back.
The menstrual period was gone, and it felt like several years had passed. My heart felt hot, and I could hardly hold back tears. Amidst the misty tears, he was still wearing a plain long coat, as light as the moonlight.
, the slender and straight figure has a bit of autumn coolness, and is quite desolate in the warmth. I almost hate my tears. In such tears, I can hardly see his face clearly. But what matters, all the time
, his appearance is always in my mind.
After all, it was Huanbi who was alert and stood sideways in front of me. I took the opportunity to raise my sleeves to hide my tears. When I lowered my hands, she looked like the most gentle and graceful concubine she usually is. She smiled lightly and was reserved, sitting next to Xuan Ling. .
However, within a few months, his face had become vaguely disintegrated, and his former graceful demeanor seemed to be sinking and depressed, but his strength and character had not diminished at all.
He bowed his hands in obeisance, maintaining his duties as a minister, and said: "Brother, I am late. Brother, please forgive me."
Xuan Ling was also used to him being late and leaving early at banquets. He shook his hand casually and developed a sense of brotherhood. "You insisted on going to the cold land of Beijing. Now that you have traveled all the way back, everyone has become a bit more cheerful." Haggard.”
Xuan Qing smiled lightly and kept his eyes three inches away from me. I could almost feel the depression in his breathing, "When I arrived in Beijing, I caught the wind and cold and was ill for more than ten days. It's not because of the wind and dust."
Xuan Ling was greatly surprised, "Why didn't anyone come to tell me?" He said with a look of blame, "What do the people around me do?"
"My brother didn't ask them to tell me." He smiled faintly, "It was just a minor illness, and it's gone now."
Xuan Ling looked at him carefully and said with emotion: "You have lost so much weight and still have minor illnesses. You really need someone to take care of your daily life." He suddenly smiled and said, "Is there anyone you like now?"
Xuan Qing just smiled, and the ink-colored ripples in his eyes finally spread to me unconsciously, as if it was the depth of the night, "If you like me, I won't come alone." His voice deepened, " Perhaps what I want in this life is Zhuang Sheng’s Xiaomeng.”
His words stung me for a moment, as if a thin needle pricked my temple hard, making me almost jump. Hu Zhaoyi smiled playfully, and a delicate voice came out from the overlapping pearls, "Sixth cousin The most charming and suave person, how can he find someone to restrain his hands and feet? If he is controlled by someone, is there anyone he can turn to?"
Xuanqing had always treated her as a little sister and didn't mind her. He just said, "Zhaoyi is now a mother, but her playful spirit has not changed at all."
Hu Zhaoyi smiled sweetly and said: "What I haven't changed is just my playful spirit. Concubine Wan and Shen Shuyuan, who are going to be mothers, are the most qualified people, but their pretty looks haven't changed at all."
His eyes suddenly tightened and swept across my bulging belly. In an instant, his smile changed to a dull smile, and he said to Meizhuang: "Shuyuan is well, I haven't said my congratulations to Empress Shuyuan yet."
Meizhuang bowed slightly and said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He just looked at me, took a step back, raised his hands and saluted, "Wan Fei is well."
There was an indistinguishable hoarseness in his tone, and the words "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan" were like piercing my heart, making me embarrassed and helpless. However, no matter how embarrassed I was, I finally managed to return the favor and said, "Your Majesty is back."
It was late in the day, and the vast and distant sky was covered with a heavy twilight mist and chilling cicadas. The numerous palaces and pavilions gradually evolved into deep and thin silhouettes under the dark afterglow of dusk clouds and sunset. The deep loneliness of the palaces and gardens followed the cold atmosphere. Slowly gushing out, the entire Ziao City seemed to be immersed in a shadow that was so thick that it could not be dissolved. He said quietly: "Your Majesty is about to give birth, is your body still in good health?" I almost cried, so I took a sip. Lip tried his best to remain reserved and said: "Your Majesty, I'm worried about you. Everything is fine."
The turbulence in my heart was so overwhelming that it was difficult to contain it. Huanbi hurriedly held my hand and said, "My lord, please forgive me, but the young lady has to change her clothes."
Xuan Ling waved his hand and said to me: "Go quickly, it's not good to catch the cold."
Just as she stepped out of Chonghua Hall, she stumbled. Huanbi hurriedly supported her and said, "Miss, are you okay?"
After a moment of desolation, I deeply hated my own weakness and incompetence. I always thought I could control myself, always thought I could forget, always thought I could be perfect, but almost lost my sense of proportion.
Huanbi's hands were as cold as the dew on the branches, and she said in a low voice: "It's one thing not to be able to help yourself, but your life is another. Miss, it's better to be careful."
I nodded slightly, "I'm not stable enough."
Huanbi's sigh was as invisible as the transparent cicada wings, "Why don't the young lady and the prince understand the pain in their hearts, it's just..."
I nodded to stop her, "He wants to live well, and so do I."
Huanbi nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, life is the most important thing." She paused and said, "Miss is in a bad mood, and others will see her flaws, so it would be better to go back later."
I nodded silently, and in a blink of an eye I saw a fallen leaf falling from the branch, like a silent sigh in my heart.
