Liu Yanhuan blinked, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands clean, and then asked, "This is my third sister, can you join me?"
”The palace maid looked at Pei Jian, although Pei Jian had lost some weight, but today's outfit did have the dustiness of Qingshui Hibiscus, coupled with the appearance of being submissive, it was more like a weak willow in the eyes of others."
Please come with me."
The palace maid made a "please" gesture and led people to the harem.Liu Yanhuan and Pei Jian did not squint, as the grandmothers taught.She was puzzled in her heart, she entered the palace by herself in her previous life, because she was Pei Ming's wife, and she was summoned by Concubine Shu.But what's going on with this Concubine De?
Concubine De has only one princess under her knees, no prince, and has long been excluded from the competition for the throne.Liu Yanhuan couldn't figure out why Concubine De wanted to see her.The palace maid who came did not take Liu Yanhuan to Concubine De's palace, but Concubine Shu's palace.Liu Yanhuan's heart was even more uneasy, this is not a fight between the gods, but the little ghost suffered."
The people's women/people's daughters greet the lady concubine and the concubine De Niangniang."
After the two finished the salute, the concubine who was sitting on the main seat spoke: "Brother Ming's daughter-in-law, come over and let the palace take a look." ”Liu Yanhuan walked over as she said, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Concubine De was sitting on the Taishi chair on the side and playing with the armor on her little finger, as if it was not her who called Liu Yanhuan."
Not bad, not bad."
Concubine Shu smiled, "It is a blessing for Brother Ming to have a wife like this." ”From Liu Yanhuan's line, it can be seen that she has been taught very well, and Concubine Shu is very satisfied.In other words, she is very satisfied with the Liu family behind her.She has two princes under her knees, the third prince has already entered the court to participate in politics, and the sixth prince is also eight years old.Even if the prince is established early, the concubines of the prince in the harem are ready to move.Before the end, it is not certain who is the emperor."
I heard that you are from Jinling, after coming to Kyoto, are you still used to it?""
There is nothing unaccustomed to when the family is properly arranged."
Concubine Shu smiled lightly, although she was in the palace, she also heard how much the Liu family gave Liu Yanhuan a dowry.The mother-in-law who takes care of Liu Yanhuan's food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., there are thirty or forty of them.According to all the arrangements she made when she was in Jinling, there was nothing wrong with her."
That's good.I couldn't attend your wedding with Brother Ming, and I felt very guilty in my heart.My aunt has prepared some gifts for you, and you can bring them back later. ”Liu Yanhuan thanked him on his lips and sneered in his heart.If you really want to have a heart, you sent it over on her wedding day.To put it bluntly, they want to take advantage of their Liu family, but they don't care."
Is this a note?
It's grown so big. ”Pei Jian was a concubine born to a concubine, and the concubine naturally had no need to pay attention to her.In addition, Luo's never took her to the palace banquet, and today is also the first time Concubine Shu has seen Pei Jian.She didn't expect Pei Jian to be so good-looking, and she had the momentum to overwhelm Luo's two concubines.Concubine Shu's heart moved slightly, and she asked Pei Jian a few more words, and Pei Jian answered very methodically, and she didn't panic at all.She was even more satisfied."
I sat and listened to my sister talk about family life for a long time, and I felt bored, so I quit first."
Concubine De got up and said Shi Ran.And then, it really went away.Liu Yanhuan was even more puzzled, it was Concubine De who called her, why didn't she say anything and left?
Liu Yanhuan was puzzled, but when she heard that Concubine De had always been freewheeling, she was not entangled."
Okay, the chrysanthemum feast is about to start, let's go."
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine De's back and sneered in her heart.Concubine De, who has only one daughter, what to do with them, she still dares to argue with them.However, she can only be so incompetent and furious.left and right can't get in the way of their big things, so they simply let her go.Liu Yanhuan and Pei Jian followed behind Concubine Shu without saying a word, and when they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the invited families had arrived.The girls in the yard are more beautiful than this chrysanthemum."
The emperor and the queen have arrived!"
With the eunuch's singing and shouting, the originally noisy imperial garden instantly quieted down.Everyone saluted in unison, and only after hearing the word "flat" did they get up.Liu Yanhuan followed Concubine Shu, very close to the emperor's position, she hung her head, not daring to look up, only to hear a clear voice sounding over her head."
People are more delicate than flowers, and this year's chrysanthemums have been compared again.""
That's because you take care of people and don't look at flowers, how can you blame the flowers?"
The emperor smiled and said, "If you like it, I remember that the queen has two pots of rare cultivated green chrysanthemums, and they will be sent to you tomorrow." ”Just listening to such a conversation, I am afraid that I think this is a newly favored concubine, but Liu Yanhuan knows that this is the emperor's favorite daughter, Princess Shuyi."
I don't want to take people's favor, why should I grab what the queen likes?
My father has drawn hatred for me. ”"Yes, yes, it's my father who didn't think about it.Tomorrow, let someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs send you a fresh one. ”"The emperor can spoil Shuyi, this little tail is about to rise to the sky."
The palace concubines have long been accustomed to such a scene, and they are close to Princess Shuyi and say clever things.Liu Yanhuan listened to them, and brought out the life of Princess Shuyi in her previous life.Princess Shuyi has been loved by the emperor since she was a child, and the first words she can write are taught by the emperor.The princess, who grew up in the imperial study, has been exposed to it since she was a child and is very sensitive to political affairs.I heard that sometimes the emperor has to ask Shuyi's opinion when dealing with government affairs, and he loves her very much.Even if many ministers secretly said that she was Si Chen, the emperor just smiled and said that Shuyi was just serving the pen and ink.Such a talented princess finally became a victim in the war for the prince's succession.Liu Yanhuan sighed, everyone's fate is in their own hands, Princess Shuyi chose the wrong path, and she couldn't interfere."
Shuyi is about to be in time, are you going to show her a colt today?"
A palace concubine quipped."
Don't worry about the horse, Shuyi is still young."
The emperor waved his hand, and the palace concubine who spoke was bored, but the wives present also understood that they couldn't beat Princess Shuyi's idea today.The auspicious time has arrived, and the emperor said a few words and announced the opening of the banquet.He stayed only for a while, and then left on the pretext of taking care of government affairs.The queen said that she was there, and she was afraid that everyone would be uncomfortable, so she also left.With the departure of the emperor and queen, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.Without the presence of the lord of the country and the mother of the country, everyone is a lot more relaxed.The chrysanthemum feast has also begun.After all, it's a large-scale blind date banquet where you look at each other, and if you don't show some skills, how can others know if you're okay?
The women's side competed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the men's side tried to throw pots and juju to play polo.If it is a bold woman, you can go to play with the pitcher and talk to the man by the way.The purpose of today's banquet is to show the crown princess to the crown prince, and the palace concubines are bored and disperse in twos and threes.Concubine Shu sat for a while, said a few words to Luo, and left.Liu Yanhuan had to sit back in his original position.However, there are several wives of the family in the original position, who are touting each other's daughters' talents."
Alas, my daughter, is dedicated to studying piano scores, but she can't do poetry, calligraphy and painting."
The first-life woman was clearly depreciated and praised, which made the woman next to her secretly want to compete with her."
This is the third lady of the Pei family, right?
It's good-looking, I don't know what will happen?
”There were people present who didn't deal with Luo's family, and when they saw Luo's concubine, who never went out, they wanted to use Pei Jian as a raft to drop Luo's face.Pei Jian hung her head and said nothing, she really didn't know anything.But she knows that today's banquet is very important, if she has no talent and no virtue, and goes out today, I am afraid that the future marriage will not be related to the family."
It doesn't matter what you know, it's okay to live a good life."
Liu Yanhuan said lightly, and the wives present moved their eyes to her with contempt in their eyes.The Liu family has only come to the capital not long ago, and Liu's father has not been transferred back to the capital, although the Su family received an invitation, but for the promotion of Liu's father next year, it is safe to be safe, and politely declined the banquet.Although the Liu family is already a family of eunuchs, to put it bluntly, Liu Yanhuan is still the daughter of a businessman, and she is a foreigner from Jinling, and she is married to the son of the Luo family, who they don't like, which makes the wives present even more disliked.Although he was helping Pei Jian to break the siege, he still lost his manners by opening his mouth rashly."
Oh?"
The lady who had just spoken snorted coldly, "It seems that Mrs.
Pei Shao will know a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have this feeling." ”Liu Yanhuan shook his head slightly, "No, I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”Pei Jian looked at Liu Yanhuan nervously, didn't he slap himself in the face!
