The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 351 Que Que
Ben was startled by the man's voice that came suddenly, but seeing that it was Shen Ye, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed a lot.

After all, they are playmates who have known each other since they were young. They often meet in the palace all day long, but because of the rumors and gossips circulating in the past, they can't talk too much.

After rescuing Empress Dowager Renxian and Yide that day, Shen Ye seemed to be highly valued by the emperor, not to mention accompanying him every day, and bestowing him with a moderate official title.People are wearing official uniforms now, and they look much more majestic.

Wan Yu whispered with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Shen is not the same as before."

Shen Ye smiled: "If it weren't for the care of Concubine Wan and Empress Dowager in the past, how could I have come here today?"

"It turned out that you were fighting for your own strength, and Ama didn't misunderstand you." Wanyu recalled the past, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, reminiscing and mourning welled up in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "Remember when I was young, the adults and the elder sisters every New Year's Eve At that time, the capital will be full of lanterns, which are as bright as stars, trying to dazzle the palace. Let's guess lantern riddles, visit the flower market, and take the flowers stolen from Ama. Buy some ointment with small pieces of money, sugar figurines, horse-traps, hide in the small stage behind the troupe, and listen to the operas. When we return to the mansion, we don’t know that the mansion has gone mad for us, but we have been begged for a good meal hit."

She glanced at the sky, only to see the bright moon, bright and beautiful, but it was a little cold and lonely: "I will always remember the peaceful time in the past."

Shen Ye's deep eyes cast on Wan Yu's face and turned slowly: "Your Majesty is a person of great fortune now, and this humble minister is on duty by the Emperor's side, and the Emperor often hears about her good son."

"Really?" Wan Yu glanced back at him and said with a smile: "The emperor is good, but in the past, I can't bear to forget those days."

Shen Ye seems to have seen through Wan Lai's mind, because of being a little drunk, people always feel quite emotional.So he changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the time when the humble officials used to learn how to play the Yaoqin from you at night?"

Wan Lai nodded: "Naturally." She said with a sad smile: "It's a man's body, and I prefer things from my daughter's house, so I don't feel ashamed."

Shen Ye's expression was only surprised, and he retorted: "Why did you say that? If you didn't force me to learn art like a strict teacher, why did I bite the bullet and study in your side room for so long? If you don’t make a sound, it attracts attention, but the empress pressed the strings of the qin to make it silent, and she also said that teaching the art to a humble minister is like playing the qin to a cow.”

Wan Yu smiled shyly, avoiding Shen Ye's burning gaze, and joked: "I can't remember such a thing."

When old friends meet, there are always endless memories to talk about.

Seeing what she had said for a long time, Yun Chan was worried that the emperor would send people to visit the scene and become suspicious again, so she nodded her eyes and said: "Your Majesty has been out for a while, and the Queen Mother and the concubines will be here at the palace banquet tonight. If you come back late , is always bad.

Wan Lai nodded in response, and bowed farewell to Shen Ye.

Walking to the first two steps, the snow freezes at night, and the bottom of the flower pot slips, and the whole body falls down.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shen Ye grabbed Wanyu's waist and lifted her up.

Wannao was startled and almost screamed, Shen Ye was also embarrassed, and she quickly withdrew her hands after Wanya stabilized her body.

"You have offended me a lot, my empress forgives you."

Wan Lai blushed and shook her head, and quickly walked back to the hall with Yun Chan's hand.

At that time, the Mongolian waist dance was being performed in the hall, everyone was fascinated by it, except for Rong Yue who was sitting next to her, no one was paying attention to Wan Yan.

Seeing her ruddy complexion, Rong Yue hurriedly said: "After the wind blowing for a while, why is your face still so red? I haven't drank much wine, I know how much you drink."

Wan Yu's mind was uneasy, she drank a glass of wine with apprehension, and then said slowly: "It's hot and cold inside and outside the hall, I'm afraid I'm agitated."

Rong Yue smiled and nodded, filled a glass of wine and said to Wan Yu: "I'm going to offer a toast to the empress, you just sit down and relax."

After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass to the side of the empress, raised his glass to Yide and said, "Empress Empress, this concubine has another toast to you. You are so tolerant to this concubine, and this concubine is very grateful."

Yide looked at her intently, and after a long time, he took a look into his cup, and said with an indifferent smile: "The noble concubine speaks seriously, and it is normal for you and me to support each other. However, the wine in the palace pot is exhausted, and I am afraid that it will spoil the noble concubine's heart." .”

Rong Yue held up her wine glass, and stood there in a little embarrassment.

The emperor glanced at the two of them, and calmed down the atmosphere with a smile: "If the queen has no wine, I will fill it up for you."

Yan Luo raised the jug to fill Yide with fine wine, and took her empty jug and handed it to Liang Jiugong, ordering him to fetch new wine to replace the queen.

Yide raised his glass, touched Rong Yue, and drank it himself.

Rong Yue returned to her seat with a smile, and just as she was sitting down, she saw Wan Yu push her arm with a nervous expression, and looked in the direction of Concubine Xin: "Look, sister, Concubine Xin seems to be drunk."

Rong Yue followed the trend and saw that the person's face was flushed, and she was sitting on the seat and couldn't stop laughing, then she frowned and said: "If she is drunk and finds out about the Empress Dowager, today's scene will be very lively." After saying that, the two hurried He ordered the palace servants to move Concubine Xin back to his own palace.

But before he reached her, he saw her raised her glass, stood up, staggered to the front of the empress, gave a blessing, raised her glass and said, "Your majesty, empress, I offer you a toast."

The emperor didn't raise his glass, but just watched her reek of alcohol and remained silent.Seeing this, Yide hurriedly said: "The concubine is drunk, let's go back and rest earlier."

"Drunk?" Concubine Xin laughed and said, "How could I be drunk? The late Emperor often drank with me, and boasted that I was a good drinker. Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager knew about these things." She turned around and challenged Eyebrows asked Empress Dowager Renxian: "Empress Dowager, do you think so?"

Empress Dowager Renxian gave her a sideways look, snorted and sneered: "The empress is so thoughtful, she actually arranged for Concubine Xin to play a clown in front of everyone to make everyone laugh? Concubine Xin loved to play ugly in front of the late emperor, and she didn't want to be lonely in the palace. After more than ten years, this interest has not diminished."

Concubine Xin staggered towards Empress Dowager Renxian, but she stumbled on her foot, she leaned over and dropped the wine glass in her hand to the ground.

She was crazy about drinking, so she took the wine glass on Yide's case, and took the jug of wine that Liang Jiugong had newly given to Yide, filled a glass full of wine, walked to the Empress Dowager Renxian, and said, "Queen Mother, you I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, my concubine misses you very much."

Empress Dowager Renxian raised her eyebrows at her and said mockingly: "If you miss the days when you were with Aijia in the past, you will take Aijia's portrait and copy it in the palace from tomorrow, and you will understand your missing."

"It should be like this." Concubine Xin moved closer to Empress Dowager Renxian, holding a wine glass and dangling in front of her, spilling the full bottle of wine on the table: "Concubine concubine respects you."

"Let's carefully consider who you are? You toast, why should Aijia drink?" The Empress Dowager Renxian became more and more merciless. She was sent back to the palace to sober up."
