The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 550 Crane Crown Red ([-])

During the lively banquet, Chen Guiren Zhuo Lan suddenly stood up and bowed to the emperor, and said softly: "Although today is not the night of the full moon of August and fifteenth, it is in time for the full moon day, which is rarely seen in more than ten years. It is said that the reunion of man and moon is the best blessing in this world, so my concubine dared to ask the emperor to allow my concubine to play a song with Yueqin to celebrate the auspicious day."

The emperor looked at her with interest, and said strangely: "You have always been shy, and you rarely dare to show your skills in front of many people."

Zhuo Lan shyly drooped her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, and said falteringly: "The emperor told the concubine that he wanted the concubine to change her shameful temperament. The concubine thought that if the emperor didn't like it, the concubine would obey the emperor no matter what. Don't you mean it?"

The emperor clasped his hands together and smiled, and quickly helped the restrained her to flatten her body: "You are you, if you change, you will not be you anymore."

These words sounded sweet and harsh to her intuition, and she fixed her eyes on Chen Zhuolan, who was wearing a royal blue Jiangshan Bandai pattern dark flower diameter gauze single cloak, the color scheme was restrained yet delicate, and the pattern was regular and smooth.The dark flower diameter yarn surface is exquisitely woven, the jacquard is clear, the sand hole is transparent, the sand surface is fine and straight, and the yarn quality is light and elegant.It perfectly brought out the orchid temperament unique to her delicate woman in the Jiangnan Water Village.

The first hairpin is a gold-plated silver-plated hairpin with Dongsheng pattern, with a silver-plated dotted emerald lotus leaf substrate, on which lies a jade rabbit, with rubies inlaid in the rabbit's eyes, and a tourmaline inlaid in the center of the jade rabbit's body.

That Jade Rabbit is more like her personality, everything looks so decent and complements each other.

Perhaps such a woman is the one who has truly become the perfect match in the emperor's heart.

Compared with her, I am really very different.

Concentrating on it, Zhuo Lan already hugged the Yueqin and began to play a piece of 'Human Moon'.

In her left hand, she held Qingluan's head rosewood yueqin, her fingers lightly squeezed and slowly twisted on the four axes and four strings, and there were frivolous notes dancing on her fingertips, urging everyone's ears.

The sound of the piano was as melodious as an orchid under the moon, and a strange fragrance bloomed alone.

Sometimes it looks like the night dew is slightly cool, sometimes it seems like the westerly wind is rushing, sometimes it seems like the garden is full of spring, and sometimes there is infinite loneliness and hesitation.

Wanyu prides herself on her Yaoqin skills, but if that skill is put in front of Zhuo Lan today, it seems to be a bit of a trivial matter.

After the song is over, all the concubines are full of thoughts.

Seeing people clapping their hands together and applauding continuously, and some people frowned and sighing viciously, Zhuo Lan stood on the spot with a shy face, bowed slightly, and the pearls in her ears were intertwined and slapped, making a crisp sound.

The emperor hugged her affectionately, and suddenly smiled and said: "I feel that the piano art is much better than before."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong Xiuyan covered her nose and snorted: "Oh, it's really strange. Yesterday at noon, my concubine went to the emperor's palace to deliver food, and she was still outside the palace listening to Chen Guiren's fingertips glowing inside. Diligent without seeing it every day? It can be seen that Chen Guiren is a genius."

Knowing that Xiuyan is always a ruthless character, the emperor didn't care too much about her, he only gave Zhuo Lan a seat again, and ordered Liang Jiugong to fetch the white jade paste, yellow pear wood and seven-color Yueqin from the treasury to give to Zhuo Lan.

It was originally a rare product in Nanfu, and the price of a piano was not less than ten thousand gold. Zhuo Lan seemed a little flustered when she got this reward suddenly, she hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, how can a concubine deserve to receive such a gift from you? Or."

Rong Yue looked at her with a smile: "The emperor values ​​you, and it is a small thing to reward you with gold and silver, so you can keep it. If playing the piano can exchange the emperor's leisure time for a moment of happiness, then that thing is well deserved."

What she said was obviously for Zhuo Lan to hear, but in fact it was just to let Wanya know that the current emperor would no longer favor her alone.

The jade book that the emperor gave her alone in the past is not worth mentioning compared to the current jade piano.

But why does Wanyu care about these things in her heart now?
Seeing that the sweet lily soup on the table was getting a little warm, she took a mouthful of it, blew it and passed it to Yin.

Yin is almost three years old now, and his childlike and funny words make people laugh the most.

He took a mouthful, clapped his hands and laughed: "Er Niang feeds my sister, Er Niang feeds my sister."

With a peaceful smile, Wanyu shook her head slightly and said, "Your sister is still young, so she can't eat these things."

"My son can eat, but my sister can't? Don't be partial, Erniang." Yin's tender voice echoed in the hall, causing everyone to laugh again and again.

The emperor found it interesting, and said with a smile: "Looking at this mother-in-law, my son thinks you are partial."

Lin Lan also smiled slightly from the side: "When Yunjing was eight months old, I already started feeding her some of our daily food. The baby always drinks milk, so it's okay to eat some occasionally."

Wan Lai tilted her head to glance at Yun Xi who was still in her swaddling baby, seeing her watery eyes staring at the bowl in her hand, she smiled knowingly.

So he called the nurse and the eunuch who tasted food, and after checking them one by one, he asked, "how, can the princess eat it?"

The nurse nodded slightly: "It's okay to eat less."

Wan Lai smiled softly, took a spoonful of sweet soup in, took another spoonful to cool it down, and sent Fu Yunxi carefully.

Yunxi entered into a sweet, grinning smile.

Everyone laughed and discussed a few times, and then began to change glasses and sing to the wine.

Yunxi took three mouthfuls and still felt it was not enough, she started crying as soon as Wanyu stopped moving, Lin Lan, who was watching from the side, smiled, took the bowl in Wanyu's hand and said: "How can a sister feed a child like this?" The youngest child swallows everything, and my sister feeds it with big spoonfuls, so she will be full before she tastes it." She said, filled a spoonful, drained half a spoonful, and there was only a little bit left. Shao Nei fed Yun Xi: "Sister, look, it's great that the child eats less and still knows the taste."

The wet nurse boasted from the side: "The concubine de concubine is quite experienced in taking care of the children, and the slaves are also doing the same when feeding the ten princes on weekdays."

Wanxi looked at Linlan and Yunxi with a smile, shook her head and joked, "My biological mother is not as good as you with children. Why don't you let Yunxi grow up and become a relative with you."

Lin Lan took the silk and wiped the leftovers from Yunxi's lips, and nodded repeatedly: "That's natural, not only Yunxi, but also seeing Yin's cuteness, I want to admit it too."

Just as she was talking happily, Yunxi coughed several times, her little face was swollen and flushed.

Wan Yu picked up the child and patted the back, then asked the nurse urgently, "What's wrong?"

The nurse looked at the child like this, put the child into her arms in a panic, and couldn't help rubbing her back: "Maybe it's choking."

Linlan became anxious when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "How could it be? I feed them in small mouthfuls, and I also avoided the lilies and lotus seeds, for fear of getting stuck with the princess, this"

The momentary uproar attracted everyone to watch intently, the emperor got up and looked at Yunxi and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"

The nurse was about to reply, but she saw Yun Xi coughing hard twice, crying and gagging again and again.

I thought I was going to spit out what I had just eaten, but I didn't expect to spit out a big mouthful of blood.

Wannai was terrified, snatched the baby from the nurse's arms, and cried anxiously, "Quick! Send it to the imperial physician!"
