Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 273 Delicate Xi Shi
The little eunuchs and the little maids lined up to receive them one by one. After receiving them, they bowed to the side hall beamingly and shouted loudly:

"Master Xie Lian rewards you."

"Master Lian is auspicious."

"Master Lian is happy and healthy."

Everyone was beaming with joy, and some couldn't help but eat mooncakes on the spot, with smiles on their faces.

The little eunuch who was on duty in the Star Palace did not come, and Lianhua asked Zhang Qing to hand over all the things to Zhang Qing to distribute.

The little eunuchs in the Star Palace are very smart, and they have to weigh up whether they can accept the things and money rewarded by the empresses of other palaces, and they have to worry about this and that if they accept it, but they in Canglan Courtyard accept it. There is no burden, this is what the manager tacitly agreed to accept.

Moreover, Master Lian never wanted them to do anything, at most he asked them to help with some physical work, which was originally what Director Zhang ordered them to do, even if they didn't do it, there are many people in the palace who want to do it, don't forget Lian The master is now the most favored concubine of Lord Long Live.

At this time, Lianhua was under the supervision of Nanny Qi, asking Xiaoqing and Fatty to help her with hair accessories and makeup, preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

She was also very happy when she heard the joyful voice outside, and kept smiling.

Before she didn't understand why it took so long to toss, but now she finally understands, from bun to makeup, to jewelry, to clothes, it's a delicate thing.

Oh, hello, she was so sloppy and perfunctory before, compared with now, she can't be too casual.

Mammy said that this was the first time she formally attended a big banquet after she was promoted to be a beauty, and it needed to be grand and well-respected.

Of course, some of the arrangements were summed up by her herself based on Mammy's intentions. In short, it should be grand, not as casual as before, which would make people look down upon her.

The clothes and jewelry were all rewarded by Long Live God. The rouge and gouache for makeup were prepared by Nanny Qi.

In the past, it took her at most two quarters of an hour from picking out clothes to going out. The longest time was when she went to the autumn flower viewing party. In order to dress better for the Lord Long Live, she spent a lot of time picking out clothes.

But this time, it took an hour and a half after finishing it. Oh my God, it was all because she begged the nanny to make it simpler, with a simpler bun on her head and less jewelry. She didn't like it. It's too heavy to wear too much.

Now she can admire other concubines, especially the noble concubine, who can wear so many jewelry and pearl hairpins at once, how heavy the head is.

Only after she experienced it herself did she realize that it turned out that being jeweled and full of pearl hairpins is such a miserable thing, and the nobility she looked at was bought with her own pain, and they are too powerful.

Silk flowers are better, they are light and light, as if they are not worn on the head, of course she also loves jewelry, it is worth so much money, but it is okay to wear one or two pieces, but she can't do it if she wears too many, it is too heavy.

Under her insistence, and Nanny Qi also felt that she should not be tired, and she didn't wear a few hairpins on her head, so she still felt uncomfortable and a little heavy.

When the whole body was finished, she was already stiff. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she was a little strange. The makeup was very different from her previous appearance. Clothes make a person, this is really good.

"Grandma, why don't I feel like I am not myself?" Lianhua asked, looking left and right.

Nanny Qi glared at her: "Why doesn't it look like this, the old slave feels that it hasn't changed at all."

Although the make-up helped the little girl to look more dignified and sharp, but the little girl's eyes remained unchanged at all, and none of these could be changed by clothes.

Lianhua touched her face, feeling a little puzzled, right?
Xiaoqing also looked at it, the master seemed not so talkative anymore, she was a little cold, she interjected: "Master, if you don't talk, you don't look like it, if you talk, it's still you."

Lianhua suddenly realized, sat up straight, and adjusted to a blank expression.

Seeing that it was true, she couldn't help turning her head and said to the nanny brightly: "Grandma, if I don't speak, I'm quite fierce, just to scare people."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The little girl spoke very straightforwardly, and Nanny Qi scolded her, and then instructed: "Be careful tonight and protect yourself. Xiaoqing, Feng Ji, and Xiao Linzi, remember to stay close to you Master, protect her, don't listen to anyone who wants to send you away, if you have something to do, send someone back, or go to Long Live God."

Xiaoqing nodded hurriedly. After Li Meiren's incident, she dared not stay away from her master even if she was killed.

Later, Nanny Qi called Xiao Jizi and Xiao Linzi in again and told them that whoever used their status to oppress them would say that they were ordered by the Long Live God, and they dared not leave half a step, and dared not disobey the order or disrespect.

In the end, Nanny Qi wanted to go in person, but she was really worried.

Lianhua hurriedly comforted her, and told Nanny Qi that sister Zhaoyi would also go, if someone made things difficult for her, at worst she would not speak, and if she couldn't get it out of her wits, she could rely on force, and nothing would happen.

As he said that, he asked Xiaoqing to hold up the big stone in the courtyard to show Nanny Qi, and asked Xiao Jizi to carry Xiaolinzi around to prove that they were indeed powerful.

He successfully made Nanny Qi laugh, and finally let her go out.

This time, the family banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held in the Changqiu Hall, the banquet for the foreign court will be held in the Taiji Hall, and the grand banquets in the palace will be held in these two halls.

The Changqiu Hall is to the north of the Xingchen Hall, closer to the harem, and the Taiji Hall is to the south of the Xingchen Hall, closer to the palace gate facing upward.

Lianhua walked with a few people talking and laughing, the closer the festival was, the stronger the atmosphere.

Outside the Changqiu Hall is a large open space with different programs on the east and west sides, and it is very lively anyway.

There is a large stage outside the east side hall near the Changqiu Hall. The open space opposite the stage has been filled with seats. You can listen to elegant music before the banquet, and enjoy the moon and operas here when the banquet is in full swing.

At this time, on the stage, there are actors playing Qingyue.

Lianhua didn't get too close to bother her, she just listened from a distance. She couldn't quite understand it, but thought it was nice, so she stood and listened for a while.

Someone was coming by, but she didn't pay attention, Xiao Jizi hurriedly lowered his head to remind him, and saw that it was Concubine Fang.

"See Mrs. Concubine Fang." Lianhua took her to salute.

With a weak smile on her face, Concubine Fang pinched the handkerchief and raised her hand: "Sister Lian, please come up."

Looking at the actors playing Qingyue music on the stage, he said to himself: "It's very lively, isn't it?"

Without waiting for Lianhua to answer, she said to herself again: "It's a pity that my sister's palace is deserted, and the agarwood is intermittently cold in the jade furnace, and my feelings are like water. Even if there are many good times, who will enjoy the same rewards with me?"

Lianhua opened her mouth to say something, but thought it was inappropriate, thought about it and closed it again.

Concubine Fang wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, looked at her sadly and said, "What does Sister Lian want to say?"
