The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 21 Dog Hair
Chapter 21 Dog Hair (3)
"My lord!" Hearing these words, Bu Ying became anxious.She really couldn't figure out why, even at this level, Yougui would still be willing to believe in Jiaorong, obviously she was the big court lady who had been with her for many years.
"Enough! There's no need to mention today's matter. Time will tell whether Jiaorong intends to seek favor or not." Yougui cast a cold glance at Uncle, with a very cold tone.
She admits that she also has jealousy, Jiaorong is indeed young and beautiful, and is more eye-catching than the long-arrogant Ling Bing among the court ladies, or even the favorite concubines in the harem.It seems that it will be a matter of time for such a woman to get the attention of the emperor, but she can't show such jealousy. Firstly, her cleverness really helped her a lot. Be harsh on others.
Yougui finally swallowed his breath deeply, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and meditated.
Soon came the fourteenth day of this month. The emperor and all the concubines in the harem held a family banquet in Qianqing Palace to celebrate the birthday of Yougui. face.The Empress Dowager is the aunt of the Empress Dowager, also from the Borzigit family of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. She is now 62 years old. She raised the former emperor and the current emperor, and she can be regarded as the biggest master of the entire Forbidden City.
The emperor bowed and helped the empress dowager into the main seat of the family banquet, and then sat beside him.The emperor had a spring-like smile on his face, and he said softly like an orchid gentleman, "Grandson hasn't seen the emperor's grandmother for several months, how is the emperor's grandmother?"
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, twirling the beads with her fingers. She was wearing a black auspicious dress embroidered with round autumn chrysanthemums, and the tinsel on her head was covered with dots of emerald green and real rutile, showing nobility and elegance.The Empress Dowager glanced around and got up to show her luggage all the concubines, and softly replied to the emperor: "Everything is fine, but you yourself, you should pay more attention to your health."
"Yes, grandson understands." The emperor was very different in front of the empress dowager. He took the teapot from Liang Jiugong sensibly and poured a cup for the empress dowager himself. Grandmother likes to drink Junshan Silver Needle recently, and specially ordered someone to bring the most authentic tea from Yueyang, so Grandmother can try it."
The Empress Dowager gently raised the cup of tea, still smiling kindly: "You have a heart."
Afterwards, the emperor looked at all the concubines who were seated under the stage, and said, "There was an outbreak of pox in the palace last year, and we didn't have a lot of family banquets, and everything was kept simple during the Chinese New Year. Today is the birthday of Yougui, I would like to take this opportunity, I set up this banquet for the reunion of the harem to celebrate together, and I also want to meet the empress's mother and grandmother, you don't have to be restrained, you can have fun tonight."
The concubines below all raised their porcelain cups filled with wine, and saluted the emperor: "My concubine, thank you for your kindness."
The emperor picked up the wine glass and took a sip of Songling Taipingchun wine, while winking at Liang Jiugong.Liang Jiugong nodded slightly, took a square box from the eunuch next to him, and walked to Yougui's table with a bow, "Yougui, this is a gift from the emperor, please open it and have a look."
Hearing the sound, all the surrounding concubines looked towards Mr. Yougui.The tables below are placed on both sides, the closer to the front seat, the higher the rank of the concubine. Since today is the birthday of Mr. Yougui, Mr. Yougui and Concubine Zhao sat at the first table on both sides.
Yougui is wearing a lotus blue auspicious dress with gold thread embroidered circles of lotus flowers today. It is rare that the whole person is not as plain-faced as usual, and has also been slightly covered with powder, which is a little more refined.She was currently coaxing Yinti beside her to eat, when she heard the sound, she stood up slowly, reached out to lift the lid, and asked, "What's inside?"
After the lid was lifted, what appeared inside was a very beautifully made hairpin. Liang Jiugong explained: "This is a white jade phoenix butterfly gold-plated silver hairpin, which was given to the Queen Mother by the late emperor on her birthday. The gift for you also means the empress dowager."
Yougui raised his head to look at the emperor and queen mother in front of him, smiled a little, and said lightly: "Thank you, my concubine, for the kindness of the queen mother and the emperor. I like this hairpin very much, and I will definitely keep it well."
Concubine Zhao was sitting opposite Yougui, with a faint smile on her lips all the time, seeing Liang Jiugong slowly retreating into the distance, she softly called the maid beside her: "Bai Chun."
Afterwards, Bai Chun also walked to Yougui's table with a tray, and nodded slightly: "Yougui, this is the peacock-pattern brocade robe that my master asked the House of Internal Affairs to rush to make."
Yougui glanced at the clothes, then looked at Concubine Zhao on the opposite side.Concubine Zhao is always smiling, her smile is beautiful and gentle, Yougui returned a smile, turned her head and said to Jiaorong who was standing behind her right: "Take it."
"Yes." Jiaorong lowered her head, walked forward slowly, and took the tray with clothes in Baichun's hand.
Afterwards, the servants of other concubines also brought some gifts one after another. Most of these gifts were jewelry and clothes, and some rouge and brows.Yougui felt that it was almost finished, so he asked Jiaorong and the others to tidy up the things, but at this moment, Ma Guiren clapped his hands and asked someone to deliver the things.
During this period of time, Zhongcui Palace and Yanxi Palace did not fight each other, which is known to all the people in the palace, so at this moment, everyone looked at this side, wondering what kind of gift Ma Guiren could prepare for Yougui.
Eunuch Yuan Sheng lifted the cloth on the tray and presented the contents on the tray to Yougui. It was a cotton hat made of animal fur.Yuan Sheng looked at Mr. Yougui, and introduced: "Your Honor, this is a jade cotton cap made of sable hair. Our master knows that you are most afraid of the cold, so we specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use the warmest fabric."
Seeing this, not only the concubines below began to discuss, even the emperor and the empress dowager who were chatting about family affairs couldn't help raising their heads and being attracted.Even if the cotton hat is really warm, it is already spring now, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. Giving someone a cotton hat at this time is more or less meaningless.
But Yougui and Ma Guiren have never been on good terms. Yougui looked at the cotton hat and sighed, and didn't want to argue with Ma Guiren over such a trivial matter, so he waved his hand back to signal Jiaorong to accept it.
But at this moment, Jiao Rong suddenly took a step forward and said coldly: "My lord, this hat cannot be taken away."
Hearing this, Yougui looked up at Jiaorong without knowing why, and frowned with some doubts: "Why?"
Jiao Rong's eyes were fixed on the hat in Yuan Sheng's hand, and her voice was clear and forceful: "This is not a hat made of mink fur at all, but dog hair."
