Shangshi female official

Chapter 112 The Nine-Layered Susita 2
After finishing the dance, there was a rush of pipa playing, and then it gradually slowed down. The palace lanterns in the four corners of the Hall of Martial Arts and the lights behind her were all extinguished by the eunuch with a small cover.

A group of dancers rushed in at the door, and the leader led two teams, waving their long sleeves like a fairy descending to the earth, and they came slowly.

The clothes of these girls are all peach pink, light and thin like gauze, Shengxue's skin on the arms is clearly visible, and the figure looks especially graceful when the waist is tied up.

Wang Yifu tried to see what the leading girl looked like through the gap between the heads. When the girl turned her face shyly along with the dance steps, Wang Yifu's eyes widened in disbelief.

That girl is Xu Xinyan.

The sound of the pipa and the sound of the drum complement each other. The dancers flicked their sleeves, and their eyes followed the accompaniment to the high platform in the north. The emperor's eyes followed Xu Xinyan's dance steps unconsciously, and he couldn't do without her figure.

Wang Yifu retracted her eyes and gave a cold snort. After taking a breath, there was a violent cry from the high platform. Princess Jiahe was kneeling in front of the emperor holding the wine, crying loudly.

"Daughter... daughter is reluctant to part with father..."

She shouted such sad and touching words loudly, and sobbed vigorously, which naturally restrained the emperor's interest in seeing the dancing girl.

Princess Jiahe walked up to the emperor on her knees, and Wang Yifu could not hear her whispers. She put her head on the emperor's knee and spoke. The emperor loved his daughter dearly, patted Jiahe's shoulder lightly, and leaned over slightly to comfort her.

Wang Yifu turned to look at Li Niangniang, Li Niangniang had recruited Qiu Xing to her side at some point, and scolded Qiu Xing severely, but Qiu Xing endured it with his head down, not daring to say a word.

At the end of the dance, all the dancers retreated. In the second half, Qu Jiahe clung to the emperor, and the emperor never looked down. Xu Xinyan and Feng Xiaobao's thoughts were probably wasted.

Because of this dance, the concubines seemed to be touched. The concubine concubine came forward to congratulate the emperor with wine. The emperor was so happy that he drank a glass. With the first one, there will be a second concubine concubine , the ladies in the back all followed suit, and came forward to congratulate together.

The wine is the same age as the princess's old daughter's red wine, after drinking it, any cow should fall down.

The empress, who was silent at the side, watched for a long time indifferently, and finally stood up and ordered the emperor to be helped back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to be settled. All the concubines and concubines in the palace crouched down to send off the empress respectfully.

The banquet was nearly late at night, and as soon as Li Niangniang took Jiahe away, all the concubines left one by one as if they were relieved from a heavy burden. The room was full of people, and the one who walked last was naturally her, the lowest-ranking female history.

When Wang Yifu went back to the room, Shen Ci was still asleep, leaving hot water for her, and after washing, she lay on the bed and couldn't move.

After Shen Ci lay down, she heard Wang Yifu's panting for a long time without even slowing down, knowing that she was not asleep, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Yifu was silent for a while before replying: "I saw Xu Xinyan dancing in the Hall of Martial Arts today."

"Dance?"

"Last autumn when hunting in the wild, Eunuch Chou gave the emperor a drink of deer blood wine and arranged for a dancer to perform in front of the emperor. I guess he is not that loyal to Empress Li.

Somehow Feng Xiaobao bribed Qiu Xing and got Xu Xinyan to the Shangyi Bureau to rehearse the dance. Tonight, she danced in front of the emperor at the palace banquet. I see the situation. If Princess Jiahe didn't obstruct it, she would probably be the master and empress tomorrow. . "

"How did she have such ambition..."

"It's Feng Xiaobao. He doesn't have that kind of ambition, nor does he have that kind of means."

"Eve...are we..."

"I know what you want to say. I reminded her, but she didn't listen. If you want to remind again, you can talk to her someday when you are free. "

"Okay, I'll tell."

"Did you burn the kit in the box?"

"Wait a little longer. I've already asked someone to ask the magician outside the palace. They told me how to deal with it. Let's do it later."

"Shen Ci, I'm afraid she will report it again, you must know that this is the character of the empress."

"The thing is with me, she won't say it. After all, that thing involves the empress, let's be more careful."

"While being cautious, you need to be quick. It's best to burn it tomorrow."

"Leave it to me, don't worry, go to sleep."

Although Wang Yifu was a little worried, she thought Shen Ci was right. Xu Xinyan was targeting herself. Shen Ci had treated her better than anyone else for so many years, perhaps more than her own sister. If he wants to harm himself, he shouldn't even ignore Shen Ci.

Thinking about it this way, she could fall asleep too.

The next day Wang Yifu and Shen Ci didn't get up early, but there were firecrackers in the palace at dawn. Today, Princess Jiahe got married, so the palace couldn't be full of excitement.

Shi Yan slept late last night, and was woken up by firecrackers in the morning, so there was a stagnation of anger in his chest, and he had nowhere to vent it.

Shen Ci woke up and got up, Wang Yifu wanted to lie down for a while, but the people who were woken up by the sound of firecrackers were walking and washing outside the house, and after these people washed, the sound of firecrackers came again.

No way, she had to get up early and go to the dining room to get busy. The palace banquet was over yesterday, and today she only needs to cook the regular dishes. The princess's wedding is still not as good as the prince's wedding. Yesterday's wedding banquet was already something Li Niangniang could pursue The highest standard palace banquet.

In the morning, Princess Jiahe mainly worshiped the ancestors in Fengxian Hall, and bid farewell to the emperor in Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.

I just don't know where that girl Yunzhi is doing at this moment, Wang Yifu thinks so.

Wang Yifu and Shen Ci came to the dining room early, but did not see Mo Xi. Mo Xi came later than usual. Speaking of the silkworm sacrifice, the silkworm sacrifice was earlier in previous years. This year, because Princess Jiahe got married, the preparations were only made at the end of February. .

Wang Yifu had only heard about silkworm sacrifices, but she didn't know the significance of silkworm sacrifices, so she asked Mo Xi, "What is silkworm sacrifices?"

"The Silkworm Sacrifice is the last ceremony of the year for the Empress. The Empress has to fast for three days. On the day of the Silkworm Sacrifice, she will lead the concubines and married women to perform sacrifices at the silkworm altar in the palace.

At that time, the empress will hold the silkworm king in her hand and pray sincerely, begging that the farmers who grow mulberry and silkworm this year will go smoothly, and that the raw materials for silk cloth will be sufficient. "

"The empress is fasting, what about the other concubines? Will the empress of the de concubine also fast?"

"The records of etiquette in the palace do not require all the women in the harem to fast, but if the empress fasts, the concubines in the harem are less likely to have a lot of fish and meat, so today the princess will eat more meat when she gets married, and she will be mainly vegetarian for the next three days."

Empress Depin seemed to have guessed the arrangement of the Shangshi Bureau, and specially sent someone to say that there is no need to do too much meat and fish, as long as it is the same as usual. Mo Xi is very grateful to this empress, she has always been considerate to servants, generous and kind.

During the three-day fast, all the people in the dining room tried their best to cook vegetarian dishes, but only Niangniang Li's dining room was free from meat and oil, and she should eat meat and drink alcohol.
