The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 564 Mid-Autumn Festival
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Yanhua's illness suddenly eased a lot.Jiahui only said that she had to fight hard to prepare for the banquet, and gave her a hand everywhere.

Song's death was like a drop in the ocean, extremely inconspicuous, everyone lived their lives as usual, but no one shed a single tear for her, but the two old eunuchs guarding her were very happy about it.So sad, so pitiful.

The little eunuch who poured Yexiang in Jingren Palace stole a small piece of locust tree branch and gave it to Zhang Lizi. Zhang Lizi stared at the piece of black locust tree branch for several nights, but couldn't figure out his thoughts.It is true that he is a genius, but he has never read a book, and it is really too much for him to think about such things.

On August [-]th, he took advantage of the time when the Ministry of Internal Affairs was helping Concubine Xi prepare the banquet, and went to see the old court lady Du Shi. It was better to have more brains to help think about it than to stare at the branch alone in a daze. good.He took the black locust branch, only a part of it.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were illiterate, so Mrs. Du naturally didn't know the allusion of pleading guilty.But after hearing Zhang Lizi's words, he only wondered: "Then Yu Er did something wrong and was punished by Concubine Xi, right? You see there are thorns on it, and it must prick someone on his back."

Zhang Lizi immediately shook his head: "No, no, the concubine Xi has always been generous. I have never heard that she punished her servants like this. How easy is it to punish her servants? It is very easy to find two eunuchs to beat him at will, isn't it better than memorizing this thing? I think this black locust must have something special, tell me what kind of medicine is sold in Concubine Xi's gourd?"

Du's face was fierce, and after giving him a blank look, he snorted, "How do I know? I'll put this thing here first. If I can find any clues, I will find a way to tell you."

Zhang Lizi hates seeing her old face put on a fierce face the most. Seeing that she is despising her for not being able to please her, he feels unhappy: "If that's the case, then that's all. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is still busy. I'm going back."

Du Shi didn't say anything else, and the two broke up again.

The weather was still hot during the day, so Prince Yi and his wife did not enter the palace until the sun was setting.At that time, Yinzhen was still carefully reviewing the papers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he always had endless papers to approve, and endless court affairs.

The banquet was held in the imperial garden. Normally, a man like Prince Yi was not allowed to enter the harem, but Yinzhen personally proposed to hold the banquet in the imperial garden, so no one objected.

Yanhua knew that Yinzhen would not go there early, so she asked Xiao Yu'er and two eunuchs to wait at the Shenwu Gate early in the morning. After picking up Prince Yi and his wife, they could be led directly to the banquet.She sent someone to pick up the Empress from the Old Summer Palace yesterday, but the Empress was not in the mood to come back, so she only let Xiaoxiao come back to join in the fun.

"Erniang, En'er is dancing..." Hong En has always been very happy. Jiahui and Xiaoxiao have taken turns to look after him for a whole day. He finally seized the opportunity to ask Yanhua to hug him. Jiahui covered her mouth nervously.

"Hey, Er Niang, let me hug Hong En, Ama and Er Niang are coming soon, Er Niang can entertain them." Jiahui quickly grabbed Hong En into her arms, and before Yanhua could speak, she quickly ran away.Hong En had already pursed his small mouth, and his small hand crossed Jia Hui's shoulder and danced towards Yan Hua, yelling for her mother to hug her.

Jiahui didn't care about this, he hugged her in front of Xiaoxiao and threw her to Xiaoxiao: "He almost ruined our surprise, look at him carefully, he's really disobedient."

A few of them prepared a song and dance, and Hongli and Hongzhou also participated, in order to surprise Huang Ama and Erniang.Although Hong En was young, he was arranged for a short dance. Jiahui felt that this dance would make her two Amas and her mothers happy from ear to ear, so that she could give a dance before leaving Beijing. Make a cheerful impression, guys.

She didn't bring up the matter of going back to Prince Yi's mansion during this period, so Yanhua didn't let her stay by her side all the time, so she was able to secretly save a lot of time to practice dancing.

Yinzhen originally said that this was a family feast for his and Shisan's brothers, Yanhua thought that since Hong Zhou also participated in this night banquet, she invited Concubine Yu to join him.The thirteen couples only brought themselves here.By the time Yinzhen rushed over, night had already fallen quietly.

The banquet started with the sound of silk and bamboo. Thirteen smelled the aroma of wine in the banquet, and subconsciously wanted to secretly pour a glass and take a sip, but in the end, several resentful gazes shot from all directions.

The nearest one was naturally Xiao Qi, she just looked at him resentfully, making his heart tense.After Shisan put down the wine glass in embarrassment, he glanced around, only to see that Jiahui, Yanhua, Yinzhen and others all slowly put away those reproachful gazes.

He gave an embarrassing dry laugh, and cast a nostalgic glance at Yan Hua from a distance from the corner of his eye.There was a wry smile in his heart, and he couldn't understand why he still couldn't let go of his longing for her.

"Huang Ama, the moon is full in the sky, reunion here, my ministers wish Huang Ama blessings like the East China Sea, and wish the thirteenth uncle a birthday in Nanshan..." Hongli got up with a warm heart, and after toasting the elders present one by one, Only then sat down with a smile.

Seeing this, Hong Zhou hurriedly turned his head to look at his descendant Fujin Uzaku clan.She was gnawing on a chicken leg with relish, as if she hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.

Hong Zhou immediately reprimanded: "You don't look like a Fujin, can't you learn from the fourth sister-in-law? She is gentle and virtuous, and she is a perfect girl. I think you grew up among men since you were young. Yes, I don’t know what etiquette, righteousness and shame are, hum!”

Wu Zhaku wasn't angry either, but quickly put down the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his hands calmly, and then smiled sweetly at Hong Zhou: "It's useless if you dislike me, I'm already your Fujin, and I've even entered the bridal chamber many times, why do you despise me so much?"

When Hongzhou heard this, he felt that he had boarded a pirate ship again, so he snorted coldly at the beginning: "I'm going to give a congratulatory speech to Huang Ama and the others, please behave yourself to the fifth master! Husbands and wives follow, don't you Forget about your duty."

Wu Zhaku smiled again, and said softly: "Okay, what I say outside is what I say. But can I learn everything from Fourth Master? It looks like it's a bit useless."

"You!" Hongzhou was really angry now, and turned his head to the side to stare fiercely at Wuzaku several times, but she smiled harmlessly, as if she didn't take his anger to heart at all.

He was very annoyed, he thought she was too barbaric, so he often went to Gege's house to sleep overnight, but once Uzaku was neglected for a long time, she would go to Gege's house to arrest him.There were two times when he was working on errands, he was frightened soft by her earth-shattering knock on the door.

In the past, when Hongli was not a human being, he still teased and shared the wonderful taste with Hongli. Since he married the Wuzaku family, he has no extra thoughts to realize how wonderful this upside-down thing is. Not wonderful anymore...

"Uncle, today is a good opportunity." Lu De didn't know when he found Zhang Lizi, approached him and whispered something.

Zhang Lizi was taken aback. After looking at him in horror, he hurriedly took two steps back.He hurriedly looked around, and felt that someone in the crowd seemed to be looking at this side. When his gaze swept over, that gaze disappeared again.

"You bastard, you want to scare me to death? Didn't you get arrested and sent to the Punishment Department? When were you released?" Zhang Lizi was a little puzzled, and looked into the crowd again. This time, there were no strange glances. When he came over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned for Lu De to follow him and move to the side.

"Hey, I came out early this morning... I said that when I delivered the food, that lunatic pinched me and bit me and wanted to throw a stone at me, so I did it to her... It's just a lunatic, who will help Looking at her? Uncle, you are too timid." Lu De raised his chin triumphantly, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, are you going to make a move tonight?"

"If you dare to do anything again, I'll chop your hands off! Just add to the chaos! Do you think this kind of thing is just a joke or something? If you don't obey me again, see if I don't send you to the clean room to be washed." Bucket!" Zhang Lizi had a headache because of his frivolity, he really didn't have a long memory, just after he was released, he yelled to fight the emperor's opponent, it was like a child's play!It seemed that he really didn't get much trouble in the Punishment Department. Zhang Lizi suddenly regretted not having someone whip him a few times.

"Eunuch Zhang?" At this time, a young eunuch followed his figure to find him, and Zhang Lizi quickly closed his mouth, "We can start now."

"Start what?" Lu Decai glanced at Zhang Lizi suspiciously, but Zhang Lizi ignored him and hurried to the banquet.

After Zhang Lizi rushed over, he hurriedly asked the eunuchs to prepare their own things to do later, jacquard baskets for jacquard baskets, green leaves for green leaves, and fireworks for fireworks.

At this time, Jia Hui lightly got up from the seat, walked to Yinzhen's seat and bowed: "Huang Ama, the subjects have prepared a dance."

"Oh?" Everyone was amazed, Yanhua had guessed something when she heard Hong En talking about dancing earlier, so she was the calmest one.However, after she watched the dance, she would no longer be so calm.

After Jiahui finished saying that, she hurried down to change her clothes.

At this moment, a group of court ladies waving their sleeves filed in.Everyone's eyes were attracted, Yanhua was especially curious, her Hong En was still so young, what kind of dance did Jiahui teach him?
After the group of maids danced a vulgar dance for a while, they formed a circle.At this moment, a melodious flute sounded from the side, Yanhua followed the sound, and saw that Hongli was holding a flute in his hand at some point, and was slowly getting up from his seat and walking towards the group of court ladies go.

"Dong Dong!" Suddenly remembered two untimely drumbeats, and Concubine Yu followed the sound, and saw her Hong Zhou was holding a drumstick, and smiled resentfully.It turned out that he made a mistake when he was nervous.

After everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of these two drums, what should be prepared over there had already been prepared.

When Yanhua looked at the group of court ladies waving water sleeves in the middle again, they were already like a blooming flower, spreading out evenly in all directions.When the flower fully bloomed, a small figure with bared teeth and giggling suddenly appeared at the stamen in the middle.

"Hehe, isn't that Hong En?" Attracted by this dance, Yinzhen pointed at the little figure in the middle and laughed.

"Next, face... face... dance!" After all, Hong En was young, and suddenly he forgot what Jiahui taught him to say. After the word "face" was vague for a while, fortunately, he said the key words .
