The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 549 Full Moon Banquet

Ever since Linlan gave birth to her daughter, Wanyu has been by her side every day to accompany her in confinement.

The sisters always have infinite trivial things to talk about in private, and they come and go, and life is not so difficult.

In a flash, it came to the day of the full-month family banquet on May [-], and Lin Lan was out of the moon, and the Forbidden City was bustling with joy.

It was night, the bright moon was in the sky, and it was really extremely round and huge, so that the stars could not be seen for a moment, as if it was the only one hanging upside down on the Milky Way, shining brightly.

The concubines and concubines rushed to Changchun Palace one after another, and soon the main hall was crowded with people.

Summer is hot in Japan, even if there are more than a dozen ice urns in the palace, it can't stop everyone's sweat.

Concubine Rong Xiuyan had a way, she found a wind wheel and ordered the palace people to turn it to enjoy the coolness, this made the extremely hot people calm down, and they all sat down together.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces did not want to catch up with the excitement, and only waited for the emperor to enter the palace, Rong Yue said to open the table.

It's still a song and dance performance that I'm used to seeing on weekdays. I don't want to be meritorious, but I don't want to have any mistakes. There is nothing new.

It was a shadow puppet show that was arranged later. Wanyu was watching intently, when Lin Lan who was sitting next to her suddenly whispered in her ear: "Sister, look, Tong's old state can't be hidden now." Living."

Wan Lai inadvertently glanced at Rong Yue who was at the top.

She was sitting upright by the emperor's side, adding wine to the emperor's dishes from time to time, and she had already become a vice queen.

It's just that her appearance decayed so quickly that Wan Lai was amazed.

Since the quarrel with the emperor, he often avoids going to Chengqian Palace to pay his respects.

First, he was too lazy to listen to the cynicism from Rong Yue, Rou Jia, and Luo Fu, and second, he wanted to be quiet and always be by his children's side.

Unexpectedly, since we haven't seen each other for two months, she looks much older than the emperor.

The face is still well-touched with make-up, very pretty with cinnabar between the eyebrows, but it's okay that the face has no expression, once the expression of joy and anger is displayed, the folded wrinkles at the corners of the eyes can be clearly seen.

As for the black hair all over the head, I don't know how to comb the black hair.

Anyone who looked at it would know that it was a fake, but they didn't dare to expose her.

Seeing her being infinitely courteous to the emperor, but the emperor didn't even look at her, instead he cast his eyes on Ru Ge, Zhuo Lan and other pretty faces again and again.

Seeing that Zhuo Lan's clothes were a little different from usual, which seemed to be different from Chang Zai's proper uniform, Wan Yu asked Lin Lan softly, "Chen Chang Zai looks very different now."

Lin Lan smiled: "I haven't been here often. Before I gave birth, I heard that the emperor alone canonized her as a nobleman. Now, apart from the bad luck of the 'eight concubines', she is the most favored."

Wan Lai was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "She is the woman who most suits the emperor's heart. She is delicate, weak, and docile. It will be a matter of time before the emperor looks sideways at her. I'm afraid that once she becomes pregnant, it will be the same for concubine and concubine." Just around the corner."

Lin Lan's face darkened, and she said coldly: "Then someone has to make room for her, right? My sister sees that the eighth concubine is still a favorite and is attached to the Tong family. Which one is easy to get along with? Chen The fact that Chun Rixiang was the leader of the nobleman's Chunri Banquet has angered Tong Shi, and he is looking for her fault every day. If she has any children, she probably won't be able to bear them."

Wan Yu's heart tightened, she quickly patted Lin Lan's hand and reprimanded her: "You can't talk like that."

Just as they were talking, the shadow puppet show fell, and everyone was amazed. When the emperor simply watched it, Rong Yue suddenly said in a fixed voice: "Concubine, the full moon banquet will be held in your palace today, and Yin and Yunxi will be raised in your palace." , Ben Gong and all the sisters rarely see your pair of children. Taking advantage of the full moon, I will also bring Princess Elder Brother out to celebrate together."

Seeing her laughing and laughing, Wanyu's eyes were full of disdain and cruelty, so she said: "The child is resting, if the imperial concubine misses her, can I choose a day for my concubine to take the child and go to your palace to say hello?"

Rong Yue shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and said in a sentence: "You avoid this palace every day, even the Sixth Palace greets you and you can't see you, but now you can still come to sit around in this palace with your elder brother and princess in your arms, it's really rare. "

After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Wan Yu, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

But I heard Concubine Yi Roujia say again: "Oh, I think the ten princes and concubines have met once, but Princess Yunxi has never met."

Luo Fu also said: "That's right, I heard that the princess was born fair and pretty, and the imperial concubine also carried her out for the concubines to have a look at, let's be happy."

The emperor turned around and raised the wine glass beside the desk, and shook it at Wanyu.Wan Lai raised her glass knowingly and drank it, and only after drinking did she hear him say slowly, "It's a good thing that the child hurts more, I may not have seen Yun Xi for a long time."

Avoiding and avoiding, but it was not good enough to slap the emperor's face, so he could only order Yunchan to carry Yin and Yunxi out together.

The nurse carried the baby and walked in front of all the concubines one by one, leaning over to salute, and then heard the voices of discussion one after another.

"The princess is really beautiful."

"Look at the selection of noble concubines and the most exquisite facial features of the emperor to be born. In the future, they will grow into a graceful figure. I don't know how many princes and nobles will be fascinated."

Seeing her two sons and daughters displayed in front of everyone like gorgeous decorations, Wanyu felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

The emperor saw that there was a difference in her complexion, and finally remembered her in his heart, and ordered someone to hold Elder Princess in front of him, stroked her tenderly for a while, and then ordered someone to move the child to Wanyu's side and give her a seat, It also makes the small kitchen prepare children's food and deliver it faster.

After drinking for three rounds, I was slightly tipsy.

Taking advantage of the joy of singing and dancing, the emperor raised his glass and left his seat, walking towards Wanyu with shaky steps.

"Are you still mad at me?"

The words were so light that only Wannai and Lin Lan who was sitting next to her could hear them.

Wan Lai raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, with infinite sadness in her heart.

She tried her best to get back the throbbing she had when she was facing the emperor, but some things were natural, and once she did it deliberately, she couldn't force it.

Although everyone didn't know what the two were talking about, they all turned their eyes to this side.

Wanyu understands that the emperor's will is irreversible, if she smacks the emperor's face again at this moment, she may completely make the emperor and her estranged.

She glanced at the pair of children sitting next to her on the left and right, lowered her eyes slightly, raised her glass, stood up and said to the emperor: "The concubine has never been angry with the emperor."

The emperor smiled brightly, clinked glasses with Wanyu stubbornly, drank the wine in the cup, and whispered in her ear: "I will accompany you tonight."

The warm breath full of alcohol spewed into Wanyu's cochlea, she shuddered all over, only feeling the uncontrollable nausea in her chest.

However, this scene was watched by Rong Yue, the hand holding the wine glass gradually exerted strength, as if to crush the white jade glass.

It was Ru Ge who was the first to see what was wrong with her, and hurriedly got up and apologized with a smile: "Imperial Concubine, my concubine would like to offer you a toast."

Rong Yue picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank a glass with a desolate expression, staring blankly at the emperor and Wan Yulang's concubine love, wishing she could throw the wine glass at the two of them.
