Splendid concubine

Chapter 23 Invitation
After the governor resigned, the queen sighed softly: "Although she is talented, it is a pity that she is a concubine."

With a slight smile, the emperor held the queen's hand: "So what about the concubine? It's fine if you are talented and blessed. I think what she said has a lot of insight, and it is better than those bastards I gave birth to. Besides, today's Isn't the queen mother also a concubine?"

"The concubine made a mistake." The queen said quickly, and then changed the subject: "When it's time for the flower viewing feast, call me over and take a good look. The emperor loves talents, but the concubine also has to look at this girl." How is the product?"

"It's probably not bad." The emperor said casually, but it made the queen frowned.

Although the prince's status is stable, in the end, he still wants to find a capable mother's family for the prince.

I haven't heard of any concubine who can get the strong support of the family. After all, they are not as good as the prostitutes. Let's see how the prostitutes in the prime minister's mansion will be. With the support of the prime minister, a large number of capable officials can stand behind the prince.

In Xiang's mansion, some children in Xiangyi flicked through the new clothes sent by Liu Anren, and exclaimed joyfully from time to time: "Miss, look at this material, it's shining under the lamp. It's beautiful."

"Miss, look at this, the embroidery is really good, the birds on it are so lifelike, as if they could be brought back to life just by breathing."

"Xiangyi, there will be better things than this in the future, so don't make a fuss." Seeing Liu Ruyi copying Buddhist scriptures at her desk, she said without raising her head.

Recently, Liu Ruyi has always felt that she can't calm down. On the one hand, she is preparing a birthday gift for the old lady's birthday, and more importantly, copying Buddhist scriptures can somewhat calm her heart.

"Miss, Xiangyi heard that someone from the palace sent an invitation to the eldest lady for the flower viewing party in a month." Xiangyi stared at Liu Ruyi with blinking eyes. Obviously, the things in the palace made her feel uncomfortable. Unlimited longing.

"Hmm." Liu Ruyi said in an unclear voice.

"What do miss think, this servant thinks now, miss is no worse than eldest miss, if miss can get a post from the palace, she can shine, just like that day at the governor's banquet." Xiangyi said serious.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyi put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her sore wrist: "Got it."

A little dissatisfied with the lady's perfunctory attitude, Xiangyi was a little sullen, but she didn't say anything after all, anyway, whatever the lady said was right.

Liu Ruyi was thinking in her heart, a flower viewing feast in the palace?
The flower viewing banquet in the previous generation's womb was also at this time, just in time for Liu Xuanshuang to gain the limelight, won the reputation of the daughter of auspiciousness, and the flower viewing banquet was again a big hit.

She wrote a poem chanting hundreds of flowers, and it was widely circulated in the capital. For a while, the students who didn't really believe in Liu Xuanshuang's auspicious name began to admire Liu Xuanshuang, and Liu Xuanshuang won the title of the most talented woman in the capital.

In this life, of course Liu Xuanshuang can't be allowed to be in the limelight again.

Fortunately, the content of the poem is still remembered.

Liu Ruyi felt that her memory was so good. In her previous life, because she was compared by Liu Xuanshuang, after learning some poetry rhymes, she had repeatedly studied Liu Xuanshuang's poems.

But it turns out that Liu Xuanshuang's poems are usually biased towards boudoir women's customary spring and autumn sorrows, wind, flowers, snow and moon.

But that poem is a magnificent masculine style, using the strong and noble quality of flowers to praise the perseverance of the border soldiers and the unremitting morality of the students.

It's like, it's not what I did.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi came to Xiang Yi and gave some secret instructions, Xiang Yi acted immediately to complete what Liu Ruyi ordered.

It doesn’t need to be spread far, as long as someone knows about it.

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, and was poking the flowers on the table with her fingers, when Liu Mengxue kicked open the door and broke in.

"What's wrong with Sanmei?" Liu Ruyi raised her head to look at Liu Mengxue who came rushing in.

"You bastard, you must have snatched my spot." Liu Mengxue rushed over and wanted to greet Liu Ruyi's face.

Liu Ruyi quickly dodges, but Liu Mengxue is in vain. When she swung her arm just now, she used too much strength. She didn't stop for a while, and fell on the stool Liu Ruyi was sitting on just now, causing pain in her waist and abdomen.

While clutching her waist, Liu Mengxue cursed loudly: "Who is your third sister, whoops, it hurts me to death, you shameless person did not know what shady means you used to snatch my spot. Hey, what are you hiding from?"

"What post? The third sister is here. As an older sister, I naturally have to stand up to greet her. How can I hide?" Liu Ruyi was somewhat taken aback.

"What kind of pretense are you pretending? It must be what means you used. Originally, the post on the flower viewing feast should be mine. I didn't expect to have your name without me. I don't care. I'm going. Don't be ashamed of yourself. " Liu Mengxue simply sat on the ground and asked Liu Ruyi confidently.

"Third sister, what you said is wrong. I don't know who is going to embarrass me, right? Thinking about the last banquet, it was you who was obviously embarrassing." Liu Ruyi didn't want to be polite when facing Liu Mengxue.

"I don't care, I'm going, you give me the post." Liu Mengxue dictated.

"This can't be done. The third sister has the time to entangle me. Why don't you go to your father and mother, maybe you can get a post with your name on it."

As she said that, regardless of Liu Mengxue's expression, Liu Ruyi directly pulled Liu Mengxue and threw Liu Mengxue out.

No brain is no brain, Liu Mengxue must have been provoked by Liu Xuanshuang before she came.

Liu Ruyi's guess was half right.

When the post was delivered from the palace, Liu Xuanshuang wanted to tear up the post as soon as she saw Liu Ruyi's name.

But facing the people from the palace, he had to put on a look of surprise on his face: "Ah, there is actually a post from the second sister. I think the second sister is going to be ready to show off again. The second sister must be very happy." .”

After finishing speaking, he gently raised his little hand to cover his mouth, as if he had accidentally told the truth.

I really never forget to lower Liu Ruyi and raise myself up.

The people in the palace took the reward and left quickly.

If Liu Ruyi sees it, she must find it funny, but she is just a little eunuch passing on rumors, so it is worthy of Liu Xuanshuang's performance.

Randomly, Liu Xuanshuang rang out that Liu Ruyi stole all the limelight from her that day, and her face was not very good for a while.

Until Liu Mengxue came over and looked through the two posts repeatedly, and yelled dissatisfiedly: "Why is there no post from me? Liu Ruyi can go, why can't I go?"

"I don't know either, why don't you ask the second sister? The second sister is kind-hearted, so she must be happy to agree to give you the post." Liu Xuanshuang acted as if she was sincerely offering advice to Liu Mengxue.

If you don't give it, you have a vicious mind, and you can't see your sister well.

As soon as she said go, Liu Mengxue immediately went to Liu Ruyi aggressively.

Liu Xuanshuang looked at Liu Mengxue's back, and smiled maliciously, "Wait and see, Liu Ruyi, didn't you show off and overwhelm me?"I can't let you go.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuanshuang hurriedly went to the Jade Pavilion to find Mrs. Zhao.

Entering the Emerald Pavilion, I saw Mrs. Zhao scolding the little maid: "This medicine is so hot, do you want to burn me to death? Go out and receive the punishment of five boards. Every day, you only want to show off, and you don't look at yourself. It's a ghost, a maid is a maid, and you think you are a noble lady when you are in the limelight?"

Obviously, it meant that Sang scolded Huai to get angry.

"Mother." Liu Xuanshuang waved her hand to get the little maid to step back, and gently patted Zhao Shi's chest to calm Zhao Shi, while calling.

"What's the matter? I just heard that someone is coming from the palace? But what's the good news?" Mrs. Zhao asked hurriedly.

"Someone from the palace invited my daughter to attend the flower viewing banquet hosted by the empress in one month." Liu Xuanshuang took out the post and showed it to Mrs. Zhao.

"You have to prepare well this time, and you will become a blockbuster. It is estimated that the emperor and the queen want to see each other in person through the flower viewing banquet, and choose the crown princess. You can't let that little hoof show off the limelight again." Zhao's eyes lit up, as if It has been foreseen that Liu Xuanshuang will become the crown princess.

"My daughter can save it, it's just that Liu Ruyi also got a post from the palace, my daughter thinks..." Liu Xuanshuang lowered her voice, talking to Mrs. Zhao in detail.

Mrs. Zhao nodded frequently when she heard Liu Xuanshuang's words.

"In that case, I'll leave it to mother." When Liu Xuanshuang stood up again, she felt confident.

On the already charming face, there was a just right smile.

"Don't worry, you won't make a mistake this time. When the time comes, when it's done, don't forget your mother's contribution and promote the Zhao family." Full of confidence, Zhao quickly urged.

"Understood." Liu Xuanshuang's smile remained unchanged, but she was somewhat bored in her heart, and every time she would remind her to remember to promote the Zhao family in the future, the Zhao family was annoying.

Just as Liu Xuanshuang walked out of the Emerald Pavilion, she saw Liu Mengxue rushing towards her in a hurry. Liu Mengxue was still holding her waist with one hand, and her clothes were a little messy.

"Didn't the third sister go to look for the second sister? How did you make it like this? A kind person like the second sister is the most gentle. Could it be that the third sister fell down somewhere?" Liu Xuanshuang rushed to meet her, Concern Road.

"That bitch Liu Ruyi, I wanted to slap her, but she dodged it. That's how I hit my waist." Liu Mengxue complained immediately when she saw Liu Xuanshuang.

"What about the post? Did the second sister give the post to the third sister?" Liu Xuanshuang was most concerned about the post.

"That bitch, he refused to give me a post. I'm just about to find my mother, begging her to find a way." Saying that, Liu Mengxue missed Liu Xuanshuang and walked towards the Emerald Pavilion: "Sister, I'll go first."

The handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces, Liu Xuanshuang thought bitterly, Liu Mengxue, this trash, how could she have a long body but no brains, she couldn't even come through with just such an invitation, and she even said it as if Liu Ruyi was so powerful.

He was determined not to let Liu Ruyi steal the limelight again.

By the way, since it is a flower viewing feast, it is necessary to compose poems and paintings. When the time comes, I will make a poem that will impress all the men present, and I will be able to win the lottery.

Just doing that, Liu Xuanshuang walked out to the study with a smile on his face.
