Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2347 Seven Volumes 47

After Nala said this, everyone in the "Yude Hall" looked at Wanxi, and their eyes were all on Wanxi's bright yellow dragon robe.

Seeing that the noble concubine is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and that she is a noble concubine who came from the imperial concubine, not a first-time concubine like Huang Huixian, so everyone has different expressions in their eyes.

Wanxi felt nervous when she was surrounded by so many people watching her.

Who said it wasn't the first time she wore a bright yellow dragon robe, but the last time she wore it was in the Mulan paddock.There are also many women around, but most of them are Fujin of Mongolian princes.The women in the grassland are so forthright, and they don't have a strong concept of concubines, so although there was surprise in the eyes of those people at that moment, it was not too much for Wanxi to bear.

But today, all the people gathered in this cramped room are all Fu Jin who is the head of the inner court, the prince of the clan, and all the women who know the palace rules the most and care most about the dignity of the descendants in this world.

The gazes of these people converged on one place, and they threw their heads together, and Wanxi had nowhere to dodge for a moment.

"I'm 50 years old this year, but I haven't forgotten yet. What's wrong with the queen, who is several years younger than me, but has forgotten in advance? If you forget, then I will remind you again: it is my name. The imperial concubine wears this bright yellow." The emperor's voice came through suddenly, causing everyone's hearts to tremble slightly.

The emperor walked over from the empress dowager, stood beside Wanxi, raised his eyes and stared at Nala, "I said earlier in September that this is what I mean, and the imperial concubine is only acting according to the order. If the empress has If you have any questions, just ask me directly, and there is no need to make it difficult for the concubine to go."

"But why does the empress still insist on asking Concubine Ling to ask endless questions, but she doesn't come to me to clarify? Is it because the empress feels disdain to ask me, or——the empress dare not come to ask?"
.
In front of so many clan Fujin, the emperor directly questioned Nala, and Nala's face turned red and then white.

"The emperor said that in September because it happened to be Ling Guifei's Qianqiu birthday. For birthdays, there are exceptions for birthday stars; besides, Ling Guifei was still pregnant with a child at that time. Your Majesty Rewarding the bright yellow dragon robe is not without the intention of helping her conceive. Therefore, the concubine's body is also up to her."

"But today, the situation is different. The concubine Ling's child has already landed safely, so there is no talk of confinement; besides, she herself said that the emperor rewarded the bright yellow dragon robe because she had a big belly at that time. The original golden dragon robe can no longer fit, so the emperor gave it to her in bright yellow. Then there is no need for it now."

Nala said, looking up at the empress dowager, "Besides, today is no longer the concubine Ling's Qianqiu birthday, today is the emperor's mother's birthday! Everything must be done in the name of the empress dowager today." To be respectful, even the concubine is wearing a special fragrance today. The fragrance is the color of the concubine's clothes in the inner court; outside the inner court, it is also the color of the prince Fujin's clothes. The concubine is specially in front of the empress dowager today My son wears this fragrance to emphasize that there is no queen today, only a daughter-in-law, and I want to fulfill my filial piety as a concubine."

"This is true for the concubine as the emperor's main palace queen, but does a noble concubine dare to wear the same bright yellow with the empress dowager on the empress dowager's birthday?"
.
Hearing Nala's words, Yuqin reminded Wanxi nervously, "She said that on purpose today to destroy you in the hearts of the Fujin clan!"

Wanxi took a deep breath, nodded slightly, "I understand."

The reason why she was wearing bright yellow, the emperor had already explained to the empress dowager, seeing the empress dowager's expression today, he didn't really care much.Therefore, the Nala family no longer wanted to pick on Wanxi's fault in front of the empress dowager, but to make Fujin, the clan and princes, feel dissatisfied with Wanxi.

That's right, after all, Wanxi is from Xin Zheku's background, and she is also a woman with a Han surname, which is naturally the most humble in the eyes of all the distinguished Manmeng Gege.But today, she chose to wear the most expensive bright yellow... Even the empress took a step back and wore fragrances to show her filial piety. How dare she presumptuously do so?
Nala raised an invisible pen like a rafter, and wrote the big three words "shameless" on Wanxi in the heart of the clan prince Fujin.
.
"Oh? So it was the empress who came here wearing fragrance on her own initiative?" Wanxi was about to speak when the emperor suddenly laughed, "But how do I remember? It was I who said in September that the empress should wear fragrance." Colored dragon robe? I thought that the empress was acting according to my will today, why did she suddenly become filial to the empress herself?"

Nalashi was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his face had lost all color in an instant.

She shook her head and backed away, the warmth in her heart withering little by little.

She didn't expect that on this occasion today, in front of so many clan Fujin, the emperor would still talk about it like this, without giving her any face at all.

She looked at the emperor and smiled bitterly, "Your majesty, you said that in September. But what the emperor meant at that moment was that since you were in the Mulan paddock at that time, you yourself, the emperor, were still wearing fragrant clothes. Therefore, I, who is a queen, should naturally wear the same color as the emperor."

"But today, the emperor is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Heh, if I only want to follow the emperor's will, then I only need to wear the same color as the emperor. Why should I wear this?" What about fragrance?"

As Nala spoke, she raised her chin high, simply turned her eyes away, stopped looking at the emperor, and walked back to the empress dowager.

"Today, I am wearing this fragrance just to celebrate the birthday of the Empress. Not as a queen, but with the heart of a daughter-in-law, I wish the Empress a long and boundless life."
.
The emperor stared at Nalashi, the light in his long eyes getting colder.

Wanxi lowered her head and listened quietly, but now she calmed down, with a smile on her lips.

Although Nala said such things in front of everyone today, Wanxi was a little caught off guard.But as long as one's heart settles down, it's not hard to guess what Nalashi will say next.

After all, they have been together in this palace for 20 years. 20 years is enough to figure out the heart and mind of an opponent who has fought too many times.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wanxi no longer stiffened nervously, but softened calmly.

She smiled and raised her eyes, which were clear and bright.

"Since the master asked about the concubine, the concubine also replied to the master's words: the master, do you still remember that in the Mulan paddock in September, the concubine has already worn this bright yellow auspicious costume?"

"That day was the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and the mistress remembered that it was the concubine's birthday; but in the concubine's mind, the more important meaning of that day was the day of Double Ninth Festival."

As Wanxi said, she raised her eyes with a smile, staring at the Empress Dowager.

"Since ancient times, the Double Ninth Festival in September has been a day for respecting the elderly and celebrating the birthday. Therefore, the concubine wears the clothes, and the concubine has already told the empress. It is the yellow chrysanthemum in September, which is the heart of the empress dowager's birthday; and today is the empress dowager. On the day of the Empress Dowager’s birthday, Chongyang respects the elderly, shouldn’t the Empress Dowager’s birthday also be celebrated?”

Nala sneered when she heard the sound, "Concubine Ling! As expected, you are as good as your name, and you are really good at talking! What are you talking about? Chrysanthemums are yellow, and what are you talking about birthdays! Even if it happened to be the Double Ninth Festival that day, what did you say about chrysanthemums? Feelings can be forgiven; but today is November 25, so what does it have to do with chrysanthemums, let alone chrysanthemums?"

"Bright yellow is bright yellow. You are only in the position of imperial concubine. Wearing it is an arrogance! Today, you choose to be on the empress dowager's birthday again, and you are on board again with this arrogant color. You deliberately came in front of the empress dowager to annoy the empress dowager! "

Nala said with a sneer and walked in front of Wanxi, his eyes approached, "That day you were still in the Mulan paddock, you said that Mulan was no better than the palace, and you didn't bring a replacement golden auspicious suit, so you can only wear that bright yellow one." , no change; but today, you are in the palace, and your belly is gone, you can wear the original golden one! But you don’t want to wear golden yellow, you insist on wearing bright yellow, you did it on purpose! "

Wanxi listened with her head down, but there was a faint smile on her lips, she was not nervous, let alone annoyed.

Wanxi listened patiently to Nala's words, then slowly raised her eyes to meet Nala's eyes.

"When I was young, my parents and family members were all under the leadership of the internal management, and they served in the palace for many years, but I always felt that the 'dragon robe' was only worn by the emperor, empress dowager, and empress, and it could never be human. Anyone can wear it."

"Later, when I entered the palace at the age of 14, I used my eyes to understand the life in the palace a little bit, only to realize that what I thought was right, but it was not right. What is wrong is that it is not only the emperor, empress dowager, and empress who can wear it. Dragon robes, but all clan kings and ministers, even former ministers, can also have dragons on their robes."

As Wanxi said, she glanced softly at the Fujin clan present.At this time, the Fujins who were eligible to enter the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday naturally had orders; since they had orders, they had grades and corresponding crowns and uniforms.So, these Fujins are all wearing auspicious clothes embroidered with dragons at this time, and all of them are wearing phoenix tins on their heads.

However, there are still differences in details corresponding to different grades between dragon robes and dragon robes, and between phoenix tins and phoenix tins.For example, some dragon robes have eight groups of dragons, some have four groups of dragons, and some have two groups of dragons;Above the Phoenix tin, there are also differences in the grade, size and fineness of the mouth and flowers of the Phoenix tin.

But at least it seemed that if we simply judged it by dragon and phoenix, it was true that all the people present were wearing dragon robes and wearing phoenixes on their heads.

Wanxi looked around, then looked back with a smile, "It was only later that I was able to enter the imperial court and became the head of the inner court, and I realized more and more that even though they were all embroidered with dragons, they were not all dragon robes. Your Majesty, Only those worn by empress dowagers, empresses, and clan princes can be called 'dragon robes'; while those worn by other ministers can only be called 'boa robes' or 'flower clothes'."

"It's like what I sincerely reported to the empress in the Mulan paddock in September: the empress is the empress, the mother of the Qing Dynasty, who is in the middle palace, even if she doesn't wear bright yellow, but wears fragrant colors, the empress is still the empress , absolutely no one will treat the empress as a concubine or the prince Fujin just because of her beauty."

"As for the concubine's body, even if she wears bright yellow, her status has not changed, and she is still a noble concubine. Even if she is dressed in bright yellow, the concubine's body is still humble, serving in front of the empress dowager and empress, and dare not be slighted."

"As for the Fujin clans present here, who would have misunderstood the identity of the concubine and regarded the concubine as someone else's? The queen empress just can't trust the concubine, and she should trust all the Fujin clans present. What's more What's more, there are too many elders among them, how can their vision be comparable to those of us who are juniors?"

"It's just like the Empress Dowager, an old man. Even though she comes to Xipei Hall to talk and enjoy the family relationship, she doesn't change her status as the Empress Dowager at all. Empress Dowager, don't you think so?"

Wanxi smiled at Nala, "Did the empress forget what my concubine said? Then the empress might as well teach me at this moment, is what I said reasonable?"

Nala was startled, stared at Wanxi, and was about to speak.Wanxi didn't give her a chance to speak, and said with a smile, "Also, in this world, apart from the emperors and ministers in the palace, in fact—actors on the stage can also wear them. Today, Shufang Zhai is still acting. I believe that the empress dowager and the big guys have seen many people wearing dragon robes and jade belts around their waists."

Wanxi's wonderful eyes turned lightly, and she stepped forward, approaching Nala, "Today is the empress dowager's birthday, so it's a good thing to be lively. Actors wear dragon robes, and perform the fate of others. This is singing, and it's lively; But on the other hand, if there is a noble person who is clearly qualified to wear dragon robes, but does not know his self-esteem, he acts like an actor, and the same lively performance can make people laugh. Mistress, you Say, don't you?"

Nala understood it, and immediately changed color, "Concubine Ling, you are talking about yourself!"

Wanxi smiled and lowered her eyes, "Actors wear opera costumes and act according to the playbook; while the concubine wears this auspicious costume at the emperor's order. Does the empress mean that the emperor's imperial decree is taken as the playbook?"

Nala clenched her silver teeth, her eyes wide open.

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager coughed, "Okay! There was already a conclusion in Mulan in September, why bother to move back to the palace to talk about it now? You two are not annoying, big guy My son may not like to listen to it! Today is my holy birthday, so you all have to follow my mind, even if I rely on the old to sell the old."

"Since I haven't said anything, none of you should say any more. Then choose some words that I like to hear, and say them to me again!"

Nala was stopped for a moment, Wanxi hurriedly saluted with a smile, "I just wondered about Xiao Shiwu's child. I was narrow-minded just now, and worried that Xiao Shiwu would cry from fright; but luckily, he didn't cry When the empress dowager was talking just now, he still looked up at the empress dowager with rounded eyes... I am really ashamed, I am so big just now, it is better to go to the child who has just been born."

"But he was born by my concubine after all, and I also wondered how he could surpass me at such a young age? Presumably it must be because he was in the arms of the empress dowager, so I also learned the grace and nobility from the empress dowager." If you don't have a temper, you don't even bother to look like a concubine."

Wanxi said that Pingting squatted, "The concubine apologizes to the empress dowager, and asks the empress dowager to punish her."

When Wanxi said this, the empress dowager couldn't help but snorted and laughed, "Look at what you said, this child was born by you after all, how can it be nothing like you? He doesn't cry, It shows that you have a quiet personality."

Seeing that Wanxi had already made the empress dowager laugh, the emperor also raised the corners of his lips, stepped forward to tease Xiao Shiwu, and said cheekily, "The main thing is to be like a son~~"

The empress dowager hurriedly took Xiao Shiwu aside, snorted, "I didn't hear your twelfth aunt say, do you look like me?"
.
After talking and laughing like this, the dark clouds cleared, An Shou took the opportunity to reply, and asked the Empress Dowager to move to the main hall, and the birthday banquet was all set up.

The Empress Dowager carried Xiao Shiwu to the main hall.

In fact, the entrances were all corridors, and the Empress Dowager was still afraid that Xiao Shiwu would be cold, so she wrapped Xiao Shiwu in her big woolen clothes, and then moved to the main hall.

Nala deliberately stayed behind, grabbed Yongzhen's hand and ordered, "...you are the only grandson of your imperial mother! You can talk to your mother later, and you can't let your mother only care about you anymore." That little fifteen!"

Seeing that Wanxi resolved the crisis just now with the help of Xiao Shiwu, Nala hoped that his son would say something at the right time, so as to draw the Empress Dowager's attention back.

It's just a pity that it's an embarrassing time for an eight-year-old boy.In terms of being delicate and cute, it is not as good as that newborn; in terms of eloquence, boys of this age do not have this ability.So there was nothing I could do to help her just now.

But Nala still has a bottom line in her heart: no matter what, her Yongzheng is always the legitimate son, the only legitimate son at this time.With the temperament of the empress dowager, she must care more about this grandson than the younger one fifteen hundred times! .
Finally returned to the main hall and took their seats. The emperor led the harem and accompanied the empress dowager to have a feast in the open room of the main hall.

The birthday banquet started, and the drama at Shufangzhai had already ended.The princes, grandchildren, and princes of the clan also came to have the banquet together.

It's just that it's inconvenient for men to enter, and there is only a counter-table on the platform outside the threshold, where adult princes, grandchildren, and clan princes are seated; the rest of the young princes, grandchildren, and clan children are given banquets in the left and right compartments.

The people had already gathered, and the emperor first led Hong Zhou and other clan princes of the same generation, as well as the married adult princes and clan children, to formally salute the empress dowager to celebrate her birthday; Yan, "...Later, you have to be the leader and take the princes and grandchildren to celebrate your mother's birthday. This is the distinction between concubine and concubine, and also your status. You must not give it up by yourself." go."

Yong Xing nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Er Niang!"

It was not the first time Yongzheng had done this kind of thing, so he was already familiar with the way. When the emperor got up and retreated with the minister Wang, he had already stepped forward and stood alone at the empress dowager's lap.

An eight or nine-year-old boy, and the only legitimate son, has always been ignorant of restraint among his brothers.Therefore, Yongzhen seized the opportunity again, so he couldn't help but look back, and glanced behind him triumphantly.

After his death, there are only eighth elder brother Yongxuan and eleventh elder brother Yongxuan left as unmarried princes.

These two elder brothers are also the children of the imperial concubine Shujia, they are native brothers, both brothers are covered by Yongzheng, and seeing Yongzheng's proud look, they can't help but look at each other , each saw the unhappiness in each other's eyes.

In terms of age, both Yong Xuan and Yong Xing are Yong Xing's elder brothers; Yong Xing can not mind because he has been with Yong Xing for one year, but he also has to mind because of the starling.

——After all, Yongxuan's feet are sick, so she was a bit slow to move forward.If it wasn't for this, Yong Xin might not be able to get to the front again.

The chief eunuch of the Chonghua Palace sang loudly: "Eighth elder brother, eleventh elder brother, and twelve elder brother, congratulations to the old master of the empress dowager—"

The three princes saluted and kowtowed, and after Yongzheng happily said auspicious words, he raised his head and waited for the empress dowager to praise him and reward him.

But he didn't expect that after he finished his own words, the two brothers Yongxuan and Yongxuan still heard the words of praise from behind him! ——It’s just that when the three of them spoke together, they used Manchu; but now after the two brothers Yongxuan and Yongxuan finished speaking Manchu, they switched to Chinese, Mongolian, and Korean.

The words of congratulations from the two brothers Yongxuan and Yongxuan were three times that of Yongzheng's. When the two brothers continued to congratulate, Yongxin was caught off guard, so he could only kneel there dryly, I can't cross a single word.

With tacit understanding, the two brothers Yongxuan and Yongxuan also purposely spoke the following words in a cadenced, correct way, and in a calm and unhurried manner.This prolongs Yong Xin's embarrassment even more, causing his face to turn from red to purple.

Being so embarrassing to be so embarrassing as a son-in-law in front of so many eyes, Yong Xing was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he looked back fiercely, glaring at Yong Xuan and Yong Xing, "Enough! How dare you guys frame me like this!"

Yong Xuan didn't speak, but Yong Xing smiled, stared at Yong Xing, and said slowly, "What are you talking about, Brother Twelfth? Aren't we congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday? How dare the twelfth brother stop him before he finished speaking?"

"As for framing..." Yong Xing blinked and smiled, "It's even more strange. Let's congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, why did you get framed?"

Everyone's eyes were like a basin of cold water, splashing towards Yongzheng.Although Yongzheng is young, but at this moment, he does not understand that he is reckless.

He hurriedly turned his head and raised his eyes to look at the empress dowager in a panic.Sure enough, the empress dowager looked unhappy.

Immediately, Yongzhen's hands and feet were cold, and he hurriedly looked to his mother for help.

But at this moment, Nalashi was also a little at a loss, he could only look at Yongxuan and Yongxuan bitterly at this moment.

Yong Xing was startled and annoyed, and he turned towards Yong Xing full of anger, "You two are deliberately framing me! Since it is a birthday celebration, you can only use Manchu, why should you change Chinese, Mongolian, and Korean?" talk?"

Nalashi was eager to protect the calf, so she sneered, "Yongxi, don't tell them. After all, they are the children of the Korean people, so they are more familiar with the Korean dialect than our Qing dialect. They wish they could only speak the Korean dialect. Speak clearly!"

(There will be more updates in two days, dear friends, continue to come~~)
