Chapter 112

The Hundred Flowers Feast is a custom in Tianyin. Every year from mid-April to early May, it is designated as the Hundred Flowers Festival. During this season, all things are revived, and flowers from all over the world are rushing to bloom. ceremony.Over time, it has gradually evolved into a kind of tea party where many female family members meet and exchange feelings with each other.

Rue Xiang took Xi Luo and Xin'er all the way to the Royal Garden, but today it has been delayed a lot due to Yun Yicheng's reasons.

"Xi Luo, do you know why the Empress Dowager suddenly wants to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

There was no notification yesterday, so it can only be explained that this matter was decided temporarily, and what caused it.

"The servants don't know either. Pell from Wanfei Palace came to inform the servants this morning that the queen mother invited all the little masters to enjoy the flowers together at a banquet today."

Xi Luo shook her head, she also didn't know.

Yun Xiang nodded and said nothing more, they walked towards the imperial garden all the way.

Just now, the Imperial Garden heard a burst of laughter, probably because someone said something interesting?
Rue Xiang adjusted her breathing, walked over slowly with a smile on her face.

Although she doesn't like life in this palace, she must come!

"Early this morning, Eunuch Zhang sent someone to inform Liugong that she will be Empress Yun Zhaoyi from now on, and she will be given to Weiyang Palace." The woman who spoke was wearing a light purple skirt, with a pointed chin, far From a distance, she could hear a little arrogance in her tone of voice.

"This is the second young lady of the Murong family, Murong Shan. She is now a concubine."

Just as Rue Xiang was about to speak, Xi Luo briefly explained her identity in her ear.

Rue Xiang nodded approvingly, this woman is quite clever.

"That's not true. She's the only daughter of Lord Qing, and she's very charming."

Another woman heard the words, she looked ordinary, but her pair of peach blossom eyes were really beautiful, shimmering and flowing, with an indescribable charm.

"This is Du Rong, the daughter of the magistrate of Xiangzhou. She has been in the palace for four years and is also a concubine." Xi Luo said.

Yun Xiang nodded, not wanting to hear more, so she led the two of them in.

The two have broken the palace rules by telling stories in public.

Rue Xiang's status is higher than the two, so the crime of the subordinates can be serious or light.

But the empress dowager was sitting at the first place, and Concubine Wan was sitting beside her, the two were chatting and laughing together, unaware of how ugly what they just said just now, Rue Xiang knew that it was the empress dowager warning her, so she stopped talking.

The two people who were talking just now saw that Rue Xiang came in, they were startled, and immediately shut their mouths, barely maintaining composure on their faces, Rue Xiang glanced at the two of them indifferently, ignored them, and just respected the high-ranking queen mother. saluted.

Because of the lesson she learned in Ci'an Palace last time, Rue Xiang raised her voice deliberately this time, "Concubines see the Queen Mother."

Everyone in the imperial garden fell silent after hearing the words, the queen mother also stopped talking with Concubine Wan, and looked at Yunxiang with an ugly face.

"Get up."

After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"Sister Yun is here."

Concubine Wan greeted Yun Xiang with a smile, and Yun Xiang smiled back.

Right now, a group of people are sizing up Rue Xiang, with different expressions in their eyes, including surprise, irony, jealousy, and hatred.

Rue Xiang ignored these gazes, with a smile on her face all the time.

In today's tea party, in addition to the new ladies entering the palace, there are also concubines from various palaces.

Yun Yicheng didn't have many concubines in the harem, but even so, there were more than 20 people sitting densely.

Sitting on the left is the concubine who has been assigned a title, and on the right are young ladies from various families who have just entered the palace and have not yet assigned a title.

"Since the emperor made an exception and named you Yun Zhaoyi, from now on you have to serve the emperor well and do your duty, understand?"

Although the Empress Dowager was unhappy, she didn't want to embarrass her too much in front of so many people, so she had to say something symbolic.

"The concubine obeys." Yun Xiang saluted again and replied respectfully.

"The concubine heard that the emperor stayed in my sister's room last night. I don't know what can my sister do? Can I hand it over to my sister?"

Although the speaking woman was dressed in palace attire, she slowly stood up from her right hand side, from the way she looked, she knew that she must be spoiled and spoiled, and she did not shy away from speaking.

Rue Xiang smiled slightly, but didn't speak, and she really didn't need to speak on this occasion.

Sure enough, the empress dowager present frowned in displeasure. Just now it allowed the underground people to gossip, but now that he is sitting at the top, he can't pretend not to hear it.

Although he didn't want to see Rue Xiang, but no matter what, he was also a majestic concubine of a country, how could he be insulted like this!
"Bold, what is your identity, you dare to disrespect the empress Yun Zhaoyi." Concubine Wan scolded.

The woman who spoke thought that she dared to provoke openly because she had figured out what the Empress Dowager was thinking, but she never expected to end up in this situation, and knelt down, "Mistress Yun Zhaoyi, please forgive me, this servant made a mistake."

"Come here, take her down and disqualify her from running for the election."

The Empress Dowager ordered impatiently, one Rue Xiang was enough to annoy her, if another one was added, would her emperor still be alive?
Immediately, a eunuch came over and drove the woman down, one on the left and one on the right, and after a while, someone was already punished.

For a while, no one dared to speak out, and the backs of the two concubines who said that Rue Xiang was behind their backs just now were also stained with sweat.

"The Emperor is here."

A sharp voice broke the silence immediately, Yun Yi took on a dark golden python robe casual clothes, the cuffs were embroidered with auspicious clouds patterns thinly with gold thread, a golden belt was tied around his waist, and a piece of white jade was inlaid in the middle.With a smile on his lips, he walked in picturesquely.

Seeing Yun Yicheng approaching, everyone hurriedly bowed their knees to salute, Yun Yicheng waved his hand lightly, making everyone stand up.Then he walked to the Empress Dowager and bowed to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager quickly stretched out her hand and pulled him to sit down beside her.

"Why did the emperor come here when he is free? The Ai family remembers that the emperor dislikes attending such banquets the most."

"I have nothing to do recently. I thought about the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the Empress Dowager today, so I wanted to come and see it." Yun Yicheng smiled slightly, looking at Yun Xiang consciously or unconsciously.

The queen mother also smiled, and stretched out her hand to greet Liang Duo'er, "Duo'er was talking about you to me just now, it's just a coincidence that you came here."

"The concubine sees the emperor." Liang Duo'er moved her lotus steps lightly, and bowed her knees slightly to Yun Yicheng with graceful steps, her face was shy and very gratifying.

"Excuse me, stay flat." Yun Yicheng smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to help him.

Liang Duoer's face brightened, and just about to say something, Yun Yicheng turned around and smiled at Yun Xiang, "Why didn't Yun Zhaoyi come up to greet me when she saw me coming?"

Rue Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and walked over, following kindly, "The concubine sees the emperor."

"I don't need to be too polite, my concubine."

Yun Yicheng stretched out his hand to lift her arm and stood up.

Liang Duo'er's complexion suddenly became ugly.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was not good, but she didn't say much, she just ordered the maids to start the banquet.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Liang Duo'er's face also changed, and she took Rue Xiang's hand affectionately, and the two looked intimate.

"Today is so lively, why don't you let the new sisters perform to add to the fun?"

The woman who spoke was exactly one of the two who spoke about Ruxiang behind her back just now.

"Concubine Rong is right, let's perform one by one, and finally choose today's winner as today's oiran lady, the Ai family will reward you a lot!"

The Empress Dowager followed up with Concubine Rong's words and suggested that this time, she didn't have any other plans, but really wanted to have fun.

"Just follow the Queen Mother." Yun Yicheng didn't have any objections, but when Rue Xiang heard that she was going to perform, her expression was extremely unnatural.

"The servant girl came to show her ugliness first."

The woman who spoke was Ye Ningxuan, the daughter of General Zhenbei.

I saw that she was wearing a palace dress with narrow sleeves, and there was a little heroism in her eyebrows. While she was speaking, someone brought up the long sword that she had prepared. He took the sword away, unsheathed the long sword, held it with his backhand, and danced a sharp sword flower.

Everyone in the audience is mainly engaged in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At first glance, they really don't feel frowns, but after seeing this performance, they have to admit that this woman's martial arts are admirable.

"Okay, it's been a month of Hua Jian Wu."

Yun Yicheng was the first to applaud, and then everyone came back to their senses, and suddenly realized that this was a sword dance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

The woman also smiled when she heard the words, she didn't say anything, and went back to her seat directly, which made Rue Xiang quite fond of it.

Not arrogant or impatient, she is a straightforward woman.

"How about a slave perform a dance to cheer you up?"

After Ye Ningxuan's performance, another woman stood up. This person was Wang Yanlin, the daughter of the right minister.

"Since my sister dances, then my sister will make a fool of myself to dance the piano for my sister." Another woman also stood up.

The two of them danced and played the piano, and they cooperated very tacitly.

"What will Yun Zhaoyi perform for me?"

Yun Yicheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Yunxiang with a smile on his face.

Rue Xiang was speechless for a while, what kind of performance could she do, she could only sing a few simple songs, and songs can't be performed on this kind of occasion, right?
"A concubine is not talented."

"Yun Zhaoyi, don't be modest, I heard that Princess Yunxiang is a talented woman." Yun Yicheng's smile became brighter, as if he wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Rue was speechless.

Now, she is 100% sure that Yun Yicheng definitely discovered something.

Just as she was about to decline again, the song and dance in front of her ended, interrupting Rue Xiang's last chance to refuse.

The two came back to thank each other, and Yun Yicheng said a few words of encouragement as usual.

"My sister heard that sister Yun has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she was known as a talented girl when she was young. I wonder if my sister would like to perform for fun?"

Liang Duoer opened her mouth, her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear her. For a while, everyone stared at Rue Xiang motionlessly. The attention she received in the past two days was indeed too high, and many people wanted to Watch her jokes.

Yun Yicheng couldn't help but frowned, he just made Rue Xiang angry just now, but he didn't really want her to perform.

Looking at her now, she probably won't know it, Yun Yicheng snorted secretly, as expected, this small family came from a small family, but he just didn't know the general idea!
But he forgot that the concubine Xue whom he was thinking of all his heart could not even be called a small family...

"Concubine Wan."

His voice sank, he was in a bad mood, and there was resentment in his tone.

A man is like this, his own woman, he is teasing himself, if someone else oversteps, his anger is enough for you to drink a pot.

"Your Majesty, my concubine just admires my sister's talent."

Liang Duoer's eyes were reddish, she looked at Yun Yicheng with an aggrieved face, her eyes were full of resentment as if she could speak, the beautiful woman was crying, I felt pity for her.

Rue Xiang took a deep breath, feeling a little headache.

It seems that she will die if she doesn't go up, "Your Majesty, don't blame Sister Duo'er, this concubine is willing to perform for the Emperor."
