court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 15

Wen Xiaowan had seen this kind of birthday banquet before.

Although Wen Xiaowan is an orphan, her parents passed away early, but the grandfather who raised her was also number one in the local area at that time.The kind of ancestor who raised his arms and thousands of people responded.

On the day of her grandfather's 800th birthday, the large courtyard in her hometown was full of people from inside and outside, including disciples, grandchildren, aunts and relatives, there must have been [-] people.The pork eaten in a day can be counted in train skins.

The scene of kowtowing to her grandfather in unison after the sound of the happy cannon was still fresh in her memory, it was so dark that she couldn't even count it.

But the scene that was still fresh in her memory, compared with the birthday banquet of the empress dowager of this country, her little knowledge back then was really insignificant.

Wen Xiaowan held the lacquered wooden red box as a birthday gift in both hands, quietly stood in a corner, carefully observing the joyful scene around her, whether there was any potential danger.

When Xiao Fuzi approached her, she saw it.In order not to attract the attention of others, she took a step back and hid in a place where there were fewer people.

Xiao Fuzi understood, avoiding the bustling crowd, and moved closer to Wen Xiaowan's side. Before he could speak, Wen Xiaowan asked first, "Eunuch Fu, do you have any orders?"

Xiao Fuzi bowed quickly, he didn't dare to tell Wen Xiaowan anything, he had never seen his company's old man care so much about anyone.

"Aunt Wan'er, you don't dare to be a little one. It was the old man of the company who ordered you to stand forward for a while. You have already stood in the place of low-level servants. This is not in line with etiquette. You should stand on the opposite side. , that is the place where the concubines should stand to offer gifts, although the master concubine Jia is grounded, but the master is there, Aunt Wan'er is not good because of her momentum, she lowered her master's face."

If Xiao Fuzi didn't say it, Wen Xiaowan really didn't realize it by herself.

After all, Wen Xiaowan was not a native of the Jin'an Kingdom's palace. Regarding these rules, even though she had been studying them diligently during this time, she was still far behind others.

Wen Xiaowan was taught humbly, and nodded again and again, "Yes, thank you, Eunuch Fu, for reminding me, I understand."

Xiao Fuzi couldn't stand Wen Xiaowan's repeated politeness, he just came to learn how to speak according to Sigong Nie's order, seeing how much Sigong Nie cared about Wen Xiaowan, he felt that something was about to come out, when he thought about it carefully , I feel wrong again, I can't catch it.

Xiaofuzi led Wen Xiaowan to the place where he should be standing, but did not leave.The task he got today was to take care of Wen Xiaowan all day until the birthday banquet was over and Wen Xiaowan was sent back to Yongxiao Palace.

Xiao Fuzi has been with Nie Jinyan since he entered the palace. Nie Jinyan has never assigned him a fixed job. things to do.

Wen Xiaowan moved from the low-level servant to the concubine, and she didn't suffer any difficulties, and she didn't even hear a single sarcastic comment—she was so insignificant, so insignificant that at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, everyone was going to curry favor with her. In the past, those people who wanted to punish her in the past ignored her for the time being.

Hongjuan who stood in front of her, together with her concubine Liu Fanghan, glanced at her as if looking at an ant, then let out a cold snort, and turned their heads away.

There are many people who despise her. Concubine Xian and her dog can't even be ranked in the top [-]. How could Wen Xiaowan care? She continued to listen to Xiao Fuzi, which was comparable to the detailed report of a CCTV commentator.

"Standing in front, the one in the light purple robe is Concubine Su, the one in the light blue brocade robe is Concubine Shun, and further forward... is Concubine Qi. Behind her are two wet nurses. She is the only little master in the palace, Princess Qingxi."

When Emperor Longyao of Jin'an was the prince, he got married at the age of 16 and became emperor at the age of 23.He was enthroned for three years, at the age of 26, with only one daughter under his knees, Princess Qingxi, born to Concubine Qi, who was only three years old and the only bloodline of Jin'an Emperor Longyao.

If Jin'an Emperor Longyao hadn't had few heirs, he would not have promoted Huang Peiying to the concubine immediately after learning that Huang Peiying was pregnant, and promised that no matter whether it was a male or a female, Huang Peiying would be made a concubine.

Huang Peiying was favored because of this child, but also fell out of favor because of this child.

After Huang Peiying's miscarriage, Long Yao became furious, pointing out that Huang Peiying's heart was restless, and during the pregnancy, she went to the imperial garden to enjoy the lotus, which aroused the fetal energy, implicated the emperor's heirs, and lost the country.A bunch of big hats were buckled, and Huang Peiying, who was clearly the victim, was grounded.

When she was reading novels at that time, Wen Xiaowan felt aggrieved for Huang Peiying when she saw this, and described Huang Peiying in four words: unlucky woman.

Now it seems that bad luck is also a kind of luck, and it is still contagious.Ever since she commented on Huang Peiying, she has been drawn into this grass-mud horse novel by this kind of luck.

"In front of Concubine Qi, the empress dowager is with her, and the one sitting with her is the empress dowager."

In the main hall seat, before Jin'an Emperor Longyao came, there were only two people sitting, one was today's birthday Empress Dowager Bo, and the other was the Empress Dowager's niece, Empress Xiao Bo.

Even the concubine Qi, mother and daughter, who are loved by thousands of people, are waiting under the eaves outside the main hall, waiting for Emperor Longyao of Jin'an to come, and to worship and present birthday gifts to the empress dowager according to their ranks before they can sit in the main hall go.

Wen Xiaowan counted and calculated, and when it was her turn to appear, the sun would have already set to the west—this sad and drudgery, fortunately, she had already filled her stomach before leaving Yongxiao Palace. Wen Xiaowan sometimes recalls the five words 'specially able to endure hardship', and she has already done the first four perfectly.

Having nothing to do, Wen Xiaowan carefully memorized the faces of the ladies standing in front of her.Although she is road-crazy, she has an excellent memory.Once a stranger has passed in front of her once, she can remember it roughly.

The empress's concubine, Xiao Bo, and her aunt, the empress dowager Bo, had a vague resemblance, both of which were extremely beautiful and extremely dignified women.

The Empress Dowager Bo is in good condition, sitting with her niece, she doesn't look like a generation behind, like sisters of the same generation, twelve or three years younger - Wen Xiaowan, Gong Xuehua, Liu Xiaoqing to the emperor Pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Bo - a human evildoer who grows backwards.

Looking away from the main hall and falling on Concubine Qi under the eaves, Wen Xiaowan couldn't help sighing that the word "beautiful as peaches and plums" originated from life.

Concubine Qi is definitely not as good as Empress Bo in terms of facial features alone, but some women win not because of their facial features, but because of their taste.That kind of charming and bone-destroying has nothing to do with the facial features.

Wen Xiaowan used her words from that time and space to say that Concubine Qi was filled with a lingering femininity.

The concubine Su Yan who looked down was the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, which was indispensable but not worth seeing.It's the best decoration to be a harem concubine, but I guess no man would like to sleep with this kind of late lady's face.

It has to be said that in any time and space, in which dynasty, there must be one or two women like Concubine Su, enough to be in the harem, so that the harem is like the harem.

Concubine Shun Zhe Zhe has an exotic style, with a high nose bridge and green eyes. She is taller than the women here and has a big frame.Wen Xiaojue sighed, it turns out that there are also Caucasians in this time and space.

After waiting for Wen Xiaowan to savor the demeanor of a group of women carefully, there was finally a shout at the gate of Ci'an Palace, "The Holy Majesty is here!"

With this sound, the whispers in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace suddenly had a small climax. Taking advantage of this momentum, Wen Xiaowan asked Xiao Fuzi who was standing beside her, "It's the queen mother's birthday, why did the emperor come?" Seeing that it was only noon Yes.

Xiao Fuzi looked around, and then returned to Wen Xiaowan, "I heard from my company and the old man that the border is not peaceful, and the battle report received overnight, there is a battle at Yumen Pass."

Wen Xiaowan's eyelids twitched, "War? So soon, isn't it next year?"

This great battle is the beginning of many wars in the novel, what Wen Xiaowan remembers clearly is the four years of Zhaohui in Jin'an Dynasty.Zhaohui is the year name Long Yao set when he ascended the throne, and this year is the third year of Zhaohui.

"What next year?" Xiao Fuzi didn't understand, and Wen Xiaowan of course wouldn't explain it to him, so she waved her hand and said, "No, it's nothing, is there really going to be a war?"

How can Xiao Fuzi make it clear that such national court secrets, he just heard Sigong Nie and secret guard Yingsan mention something when he was serving Nie yesterday, asking Yingsan to strengthen the protection of Qianqing Palace and be careful about the safety of Long live .

"Who knows, we slaves, let's not worry about that, and when it's your turn to step forward, don't panic."

Xiao Fuzi quickly changed the subject. The big facts of the country are not something that the court ladies and eunuchs can mention, but the empresses in the harem, who would dare to overtly interfere with the previous government's government, so let's take care of the present.

After Jin'an Emperor Longyao entered Ci'an Palace, no matter whether it was in the courtyard or outside the courtyard, those standing under the overhanging eaves or sitting in the main hall, except for the Empress Dowager Bo, everyone stood up and saluted three times 'Long live'.

Wen Xiaowan follows the trend, and she follows what others do.

When Long Yao raised her hand to tell them to flatten, the moment she raised her eyes and lowered her eyes, she clearly saw Nie Jinyan who was half a step behind Long Yao.

When she saw Nie Jinyan, Nie Jinyan also noticed her, his eyes only stayed for a second, and then he returned to his original serious look, his expression remained motionless, without any expression, as if he didn't know her anymore.

Behind Long Yao, apart from Nie Jinyan, there was Long Xiao, the King of Shun whom Wen Xiaowan had met before.They should have met at the door when Long Yao came.

It is very ironic that at this good time when all the people are gathered to pay homage to the Empress Dowager Bo's birthday, there is only one person missing.That is the Empress Dowager's only biological son, Prince Rui Longqi.Half a month ago, he was sent by Jin'an Emperor Longyao to the south to control the floods. Now that the floods in the south are in full swing, how can he come back.

Speaking of King Rui Long Qi, before he rebelled, he was truly a figure under one man and above ten thousand among Jin Anguo.

It is said that this prince is extremely beautiful in appearance, capable of writing and martial arts, swordsmanship and piano skills, and has been taught by experts, few people in Jin'an Kingdom can match.

None of this counts.What Wen Xiaowan remembers most clearly is that author with a bad outlook, who used half a page of pen and ink to describe King Rui Longqi.

Wen Xiaowan summed it up, in fact, in one sentence: Prince Rui, Long Qi, is the most beautiful man in Anguo of Jin.

Wen Xiaowan was very curious, given that the members of the royal family of Jin'an were generally handsome enough, what kind of Cheng Die could this Prince Rui, Qiansui, be called the most beautiful man in Jin'an.

However, this handsome man did not end well. After the rebellion failed, he was sentenced to Ling Chi by Long Yao, cut [-] knives, and died three days later.
