The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 411 Jun's grace is as thin as water

Spring flowers are blooming, and the sun is shining lazily on people.

At this moment in Qifeng Palace, Xu Qiushui was leaning on the soft couch, looked at Lu Zhu and said, "How is Yue Jun Palace now?"

Luzhu opened the censer, added water agarwood, and said lightly, "The Palace of Yuejun is calm, I heard that the imperial concubine has been staying behind closed doors recently, and she didn't think about competing for favor. The coldness and indifference."

"Oh, indifferent? Now Nanjiang and the court have completely torn their skins, which means that Nanjiang can no longer be relied on by An Lingsu. Now An Lingsu is alone in the palace, and she has nothing to rely on except the emperor's favor." , how could she just watch herself in trouble and do nothing." Xu Qiushui sneered.

Lu Zhu didn't make another sound.

Xu Qiushui sat up, and ordered Lvzhu with a frosty face, "If An Lingsu was the kind of peaceful person, I wouldn't have been forced into desperation by her several times. In half a month, the emperor will be here." Shouchen, keep an eye on the Palace of Yuejun, and you must not let that foxy son use tricks to win the emperor's heart away!"

"Yes."

The first day of April is Situ Rui's birthday banquet.

Although the border war was tight, Situ Rui had become used to extravagance and waste since he took the throne. Situ Rui's birthday banquet would naturally not be stopped because of the war.

This year's birthday banquet was still organized by Qiu Shui. Situ Rui's actions seemed to have broken the rumors that the queen had fallen out of favor. Those concubines who were on the sidelines now had someone to follow in their footsteps.

Early in the morning on the first day of April, Qin Wange got up before dawn.According to the usual practice, in the morning, he would go to the Qing'an Palace with the concubines to pay his respects to Situ Rui. At noon, there was a family banquet, and the birthday banquet started in the evening.

Adai chose a rose red double-layered long-tailed phoenix dress with peony patterns embroidered with gold thread, which was luxurious and eye-catching.

Adai compared the clothes to Qin Wange and said. "The emperor hasn't seen your empress for quite some time. At today's birthday banquet, the empress should dress more solemnly to attract the emperor's attention. This rose red is so luxurious that ordinary women can't handle it, and only the empress can match it. "

Qin Wange's face was calm, and he said: "At this time last year, my palace was in full swing, so why should I bother to wear the clothes for the birthday banquet? The emperor ordered the inner court secretary to weave a rare gift for a thousand gold. Yuehua brocade, and Tianshuibi, which I found after exhausting the ancients.”

When Qin Wange said this, even Yingxue was not sure what Qin Wange's intention was.

She then said carefully: "Although the rewards to the Palace of Yuejun were sent according to the usual practice, the Secretary of the Inner Court did not dare to be unsatisfactory. After all, the empress belongs to the imperial concubine. This rose-red robe with phoenix tail is embroidered with The peony flowers are the Shu embroidery of the Shu region, and it took three months to embroider, and they are as lifelike as the ice silk silk that the emperor specially ordered people to send to Caiyue Palace."

For the emperor's birthday banquet, even the things brought to Yuejun Palace were just sent cold by the inner court secretary according to the usual practice.Only in the Caiyue Palace, Situ Rui specially ordered the Textile Bureau of the Inner Court to do everything possible. Before the birthday banquet, they specially made ice silk silk and sent it as dance clothes, just because Situ Rui once praised them: "Ice muscles and jade bones , rare in the world."

"Last year, this honor was only available to me. I didn't expect that your kindness is as thin as water, but in just a year, I have become an old man." Qin Wange's tone was self-love and self-pity, but his words were full of love. The sarcasm in his eyes was undisguised.

"No matter how favored they are, they are women from the Liyuan. According to the convention, they are barren, and their status is already the greatest favor. The empress does not need to take them to heart." Yingxue has been in the palace for many years. It's an old fritter, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Besides, the empress's ambition doesn't lie in this, as long as the empress can keep her status, it doesn't matter who is favored in the harem, as long as she doesn't hinder the empress is enough."

"But they are the people around the queen, and they are just in the way of the palace." Qin Wange said with a half-smile, "Adai, instead of wearing this rose-red palace dress today, go and dye the gold-woven bird of magnolia green." Bring the floral dress to Ben Gong."

Adai hesitated, but she still took out the long skirt as Qin Wange ordered.The long skirt was soft and light, with magnolia patterns embroidered on the wide sleeves, fresh and elegant.

If you wear it as usual, it would be quite stylish, but today is Situ Rui's birthday party, so the dress at the birthday party can't help but be a bit cold.

Even Yingxue couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, after all, today is the Emperor's birthday banquet. These days, because of the Emperor's neglect, many people have been gossiping behind his back. If the Empress's dress is so simple and elegant today, I'm afraid it will be a bit uncomfortable. Appropriate. And today's emperor's birthday banquet, according to the rules, no one in the harem except the empress and empress is allowed to wear red. The empress dresses dignifiedly, and the rose red sent by the inner court secretary is more eye-catching than the empress' dark red. The empress wears this Isn't rose color just right?"

"The more desolate this palace is, the happier the empress will be?" Qin Wange's red lips were slightly raised, with infinite charm, but his eyes were icy cold.If Xu Qiushui is not allowed to be proud, how can she get carried away?
Qin Wange casually took a glass-colored jade luan step rocker with twin peduncles from the dressing box and put it aside, because it was a family banquet at noon, so there was no need to dress too much, so I only used a step shaker and didn't do it again other attire.

Holding Adai's hand, he said, "It's getting late, let's go. Remember to bring the present from Bengong."

Qin Wange's so-called gift was not something expensive, it was just a potted flower.

It's just that the flower is very strange.The flowerpot made of white jade, instead of putting soil in the flowerpot, put clear water, and a white flower blooms in the water without roots.

The white flowers are like lotus flowers and hibiscus flowers, with thousands of petals. Even Yingxue has never seen such a flower in the palace for many years.

However, although this flower is peculiar, it is the emperor's birthday after all, if it is just a potted flower, is it too shabby?

Adai had some doubts in her heart, but seeing Qin Wange smiling peacefully, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts and go out with Qin Wange.

Early in the morning, the concubines from all palaces came to Qing'an Palace to greet Situ Rui.

Spring is full of flowers, and it is a good time for flowers to bloom. Compared with last year's deserted, this year is much more lively.

At this time last year, only two or three people from Qin Wange and Nalan Mingzhu were favored, but this year is quite different from last year.

Now that the Queen of the Central Palace is on the decline, more and more people are favored. Liu Qiaoyi from the Jin Dynasty, sisters Xia Heyue and Wu Lianxin who are currently being favored, and Chen Caiwei who won the Sacred Heart before also dress up on this day. It's gorgeous, and the beauties are so delicate, which compares with the bustling colors of the whole yard.

When Qin Wange brought Adai and the others in, she saw that the crabapple flowers were blooming just right, and she couldn't help being slightly dazed standing outside.

This tree, the Begonia, was planted when she first entered the palace.

Later, after entering the palace, she became the Queen of the Central Palace. Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, she stood under the Xifu Begonia, and the Begonia flowers fell on her temples. Went to the crabapple flowers that fell on Qin Wange's temples, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's true that people are more beautiful than flowers."

In the next few years, in order to avoid suspicion, after the world was stabilized, she handed over all the power in the court to Situ Rui, and seldom asked about the affairs of the court.An Xin played the role of a good wife and mother.

Once, when Situ Rui started to rain lightly, she didn't even enter the Palace of Qinzheng to finish. When Situ Rui finished her business, she saw her standing in the rain holding an umbrella, her eyes filled with distress, and she said jokingly: " The Luohua people are independent, and the swifts fly together. If Xiao Wan likes the rain scene so much, then I will watch it with Xiao Wan."

Last year was also the time when the crabapple flowers bloomed. She came back for revenge. No one could match her glory for a while, and she wore a white dress to capture her elegance and unparalleled splendor.

Now... it's true that flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

"What's so beautiful about this crabapple flower? The imperial concubine has been standing under the tree for a long time." Chen Caiwei, who was inside the palace, was sharp-eyed, and she couldn't help calling out after seeing Qin Wange.

Standing under the flower tree, she was slightly lost in thought, and the palace people didn't dare to disturb her, so they didn't pass on the message.However, Chen Caiwei had already called her name, and now Qin Wange couldn't stand here any longer, so he entered the hall.

Next to Situ Rui sat Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue on the left and right, even Xu Qiushui sat under Situ Rui, and beside Xu Qiushui was Liu Ruxin.

After seeing Qin Wange come in, Liu Ruxin slightly nodded to Qin Wange as a greeting.

Then they lined up one by one, Liu Qiaoyi, Chen Caiwei, and a few newly favored nobles, but in this way, there was no place for Qin Wange.

Qin Wange just glanced lightly, but didn't speak.

Although Qin Wange's dress was simple and elegant, she was wearing a wide-sleeved gown, walked lightly, and had a faint smile on her mouth, like a fairy in the moon palace.As soon as Situ Rui saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off.

Looking at Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue again, although it is forbidden to wear bright red according to the palace rules, Xia Heyue is wearing an apricot yellow palace dress with lotus leaf koi embroidered with light yellow thread. It is dyed, and there are water ripples when walking, and even the lotus leaf koi embroidered on the clothes seem to be alive.

And Wu Lianxin was wearing a long purple phoenix-tailed dress with a purple palace gauze covering it, which looked like a purple cloud from a distance, but she didn't have too many decorations on her body, she combed her temples, and used purple dye on her forehead It is embellished with a purple flower, the color is gorgeous and generous, and it is a color that women in the palace dare not use.Only Wu Lianxin, who was born in Liyuan, dared to be so coquettish.

Xu Qiushui saw that Situ Rui's gaze had long been glued to Qin Wange's body, and couldn't help but curse Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue inwardly.
