Qing Chuan Zhi Wants to Be a Concubine

Chapter 146 Mid-Autumn Festival ([-])
As for Yuyao's new favorite concubine, and she is about to add a new brother to the emperor, Queen Ulanara means to give her a chance, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, she is allowed to have a high-ranking order in her family The relatives of the family entered the palace to meet each other.

But Yongzheng refused, and he said so to the queen with a blank face.

"It wasn't long before Concubine Jin found out that she was pregnant, and she has already given grace to her relatives to visit her in the palace. It is too much to give grace to her again. Queen, you have never seen relatives so frequently, how can Concubine Jin pass you by?"

When the empress heard that Yongzheng thought of her so much and respected her so much, she was quite touched, and at the same time she was very grateful that the late emperor pointed herself to the emperor.

Although her son died young, the well-mannered emperor has always given her the honor of his wife, which is much better than other sisters-in-law.

Even the eighth brother and sister, everyone said how much the eighth brother loved her, spoiled her and valued her, and pushed away Fujin several times for her.

But she was not envious, she felt that the life of the eighth younger siblings was not as good as hers.

Of course, she said that she lived a good life, not because of her status as a queen, becoming the most honorable woman in the world.

But the eighth brother pushed the eighth sibling to the cusp of the storm, which made the late emperor hate him, and his reputation was very bad.

If the eighth brother and sister are really alone, it's fine, they still have a son and a daughter with others, and the number of concubines may be more than the emperor.

And the emperor really respected her, and never doted on his concubine or killed his wife.

She knew that it was rumored that before the emperor ascended the throne, the Li family was the most favored in the early stage, and the Nian clan was the most favored in the later period, because the Li family gave birth to the emperor the most children in the early stage, and the Nian clan gave birth to the most children in the later period.

But it's really not true, the emperor has no intention of having a backyard at all. The two people are mostly pregnant because of their physique, not because the emperor dotes on them so much. Because of the influence of the wind, he became dissatisfied with his first wife.

I also know that Niu Colu, the concubine of Xi, has been swelled and arrogant since the emperor took the throne, because Hongli is the most valued by the emperor, and he is also the person who is most likely to ascend to that position a hundred years later, so she has become swollen and arrogant. respect.

But she didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of the emperor at all, because the emperor would never tolerate her disrespect to herself because of Hongli. Cobalt is too tolerant.

It was because she was worried about Hongli, and she was still within the tolerance range, that she tolerated Niu Gulu so much.

The emperor respects her as his first wife so much, as a queen, of course she will reciprocate and manage the harem for the emperor as much as possible, especially the blood of the emperor.

So, at the banquet, there was nothing in front of Yuyao that she, a pregnant woman, should not eat.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, besides moon cakes, there are plump crabs, and autumn is the time when chrysanthemum yellow crabs are fat.

The crabs were wrapped in cattail leaves and steamed. Headed by the queen, they toasted the emperor one by one. The wine was chrysanthemum wine.

Yuyao was no exception, but she was pregnant, and the queen attached great importance to her and the child in her womb, so she didn't let any drop of wine appear in front of her, and there was no tea yet.

So Yuyao could only replace the wine with water, followed behind Concubine Yu, and also made a toast to Yongzheng.

Yongzheng's alcohol capacity is average, and he hates the feeling of being unable to control himself after being drunk, so when every concubine came to toast, he only took a sip and didn't drink much at all.

Xu Wei, a talented scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote "Six Poems of Crabs", one of which reads: "Red and green butterfly kiln, ginger and orange are smashed at the end. The double pincers are high and the snow is straight, and the flavors lose their coquettishness. Hey, the morning is fighting for the valley, and the night is crying. Dasu Wuque It's just because of the rumor about 'Jiang Yao'".

Pure white and tender crab meat, mashed with ginger and orange and dipped in vinegar, taste slowly in the mouth, and then a glass of chrysanthemum wine, the taste is endless aftertaste.

Yuyao is pregnant, and there is absolutely no fat crab that pregnant women can't eat in front of her, so she can only watch others eat it.

Depressed, she blinked her eyes, and in grief and indignation, she could only stick out her chopsticks to pick up other food to block her mouth, in case she wanted to eat crabs too much and would drool ashamedly.

After eating, drink a bowl of Su Ye sweet soup, it will be more comfortable, and wash your hands with chrysanthemum soup after drinking.

In addition, the table is full of seasonal fruits such as large pomegranates and grapes, and flowers such as chrysanthemums and hostas are placed around the table.

It should be a pleasant thing to taste good food and wine, and smell the refreshing fragrance, but other people can eat fat crab meat and crab paste, but Yuyao can only look at it, so it is too tormenting to be greedy Yes, she would rather this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet end early.

There was another reason why she wanted to end the family dinner earlier. She was really tired of looking at her with all kinds of mean eyes.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was supposed to be attended by all the concubines of the emperor, but the concubine Niu Colu did not appear.

The tables farthest from Yuyao were some Fujin members of the imperial family, they looked at Yuyao, and then scanned the two tables where the concubines were, but they didn't see the concubine Xi.

Immediately, twos and threes began to whisper: "Concubine Xi didn't come? Do you know what happened?"

"I heard that I was grounded. It is said that it has something to do with the newly promoted one." After that, they thought they were secretly looking at Yuyao. Rolling his eyes, at the same time looking forward to the early end of this banquet.

After the people at the other table glanced at Yuyao, they started whispering to each other again.

"The emperor didn't let Concubine Xi come out to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Isn't she the fourth elder brother's birth mother?"

"That's right, the fourth elder brother is the emperor's most capable elder brother. For the sake of the fourth elder brother's face, the emperor will let her come out to attend the family banquet!"

"That's right, otherwise it would appear that the emperor despises Concubine Xi, and this would be too embarrassing for the fourth elder brother. After all, she is still the biological mother of the fourth elder brother."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Didn't you see that Concubine Xi is not here? It must be that the emperor didn't give fourth elder brother any face."

"Yeah, it's so obvious that I still need to ask?"

"I heard from my master that when he had something to ask to see the emperor, it happened that the fourth elder brother came to ask the emperor, hoping that the emperor would allow Concubine Xi to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the emperor refused."

"Really?"

"Really, my master said that the emperor's voice of reprimanding the fourth prince and concubine Xi was very loud at that time. Even though he was waiting outside, he could vaguely hear it. And when the fourth prince came out, his face was so ugly!"

"Tsk, it seems that the emperor really dotes on Concubine Jin very much!"

"Yes, even the fourth elder brother who is so highly valued, as well as the concubine Xi, whose mother is valued by his son, can suffer because of concubine Jin at the emperor's place. It seems..."

Before the words were finished, these Fujins looked at each other, and all the words were silent.

They decided to go back and have a good chat with their master about how much the emperor attaches to Jinpin. Even if they feel that Jinpin's younger elder brother has a very small chance of winning compared to the fourth elder brother because of the big age gap, they can't offend them even if they want to get closer to the fourth elder brother. Jin concubine.

After all, the emperor is in power now, not the fourth elder brother.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the clan and ministers left the garden, while Yongzheng led the queen and other concubines to move to the altar that had been set up in the garden to worship the moon god.

After worshiping the moon god, everyone began to enjoy the moon, drink wine, eat moon cakes, raise glasses and invite the moon to recite poems.
