Chapter 40

In an instant, there was the sound of rubbing silk and satin, and dozens of concubines knelt down one after another, "Greetings to the emperor."

Concubine Wang greeted her at the front, "All the sisters are admiring the chrysanthemums. The emperor is here, and the concubine and others are really happy." The concubine Wang spoke in a leisurely manner, as if she was talking about family matters, as expected of a woman who has been with the emperor for 20 years.

Emperor Zhengkang smiled, "I happen to be not very busy with government affairs today, so I came here to appreciate the various chrysanthemums prepared by the imperial concubine, and by the way, I can see what is new about this year's chrysanthemum appreciation feast."

Here, Concubine Wang Guifei, Concubine Li, and Concubine Zhen accompanied Emperor Zhengkang to admire the precious chrysanthemums.All the beauties are also full of ideas, and good sentences come out frequently.

Xiaoman found out that the concubine in the harem was really not a fake, and her talent soared to the sky.It is estimated that not only did he cultivate well when he was in the boudoir, but he was also very lonely in the palace, and regarded reciting poems and composing Fu as a pastime.

It is estimated that after she falls out of favor and becomes lonely, she can also read a few more books, learn to compose two poems, and become a talented woman.

But now, she only remembers a sentence mentioned in the movie with bigger breasts than anyone else, "The scent of the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armour". It seems to be an anti-poetry. Starting from the first two sentences, I can't express it even if I want to express it.It's true that when the book is used, I hate less.

Over there, Wang Momo also directed people to set up a banquet and waited quietly for the nobles to take their seats.

It was really the first time for Xiaoman to attend a banquet in the palace.Because there is no queen in the middle palace, there are fewer opportunities for gatherings. No matter how high the status of the royal concubine is, it is not justified to call all the concubines together from time to time.

Xiaoman was led to the seat by a special person, heh, she was arranged according to the position, so she naturally leaned back.

Today, the last selected servants and concubines who were partially cultivated did not come, and there were more than [-] concubines. The emperor's harem is not small.

Twenty or so people are not too many, but the tables used in the palace are really spacious, and each master needs to be served by two maids standing up. If they can't be crowded, the distance will naturally increase.

The staple food, snacks, dishes, and soups on the table are all made of chrysanthemum, such as coix seed and chrysanthemum cake, chrysanthemum crystal dumpling, chrysanthemum stewed pigeon meat, chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum pork rib soup, chrysanthemum, red dates, and wolfberry stewed bird’s nest, and many other ingredients that Xiaoman has never seen before.

Although it is late autumn, under the warm sun at noon, it is quite beautiful to hold an open-air banquet among the chrysanthemums.

Xiaoman doesn't like soup and water, no matter how delicious the soup is brought from the big kitchen, it will lose its fresh taste, so it's better to eat a few more snacks.

Well, the taste is really good, Xiaoman eats it happily.Palace banquets have always been a good place to poison people, so I don't know if anyone has poisoned them by the way today.

Shaoyao and Qingyu were quite speechless seeing their master dressed up so beautifully, but really only came for dinner.This master suffered so much when he was a child, and suffered so much hunger. No matter when and where, he never forgot to eat.

Look at the concubines and concubines, they are elegant and colorful, they sip lightly, and chat with the people around them at the right time, and smile.Chatting is fake, but doing some coquettish smiles and charming movements to attract the emperor's attention is real.But this master, who doesn't pay attention to anyone, just knows how to concentrate on eating, making it difficult for others to pay attention to her, so she is really a foodie.

Liu Guiren was also depressed, she originally wanted to have a few words with Xiao Mantao, to see if she could attract the emperor's attention.She felt that with Xiaoman as a foil, the emperor would definitely remember her beauty, and remember that she was a talented beauty.However, this idiot woman knows how to eat, so she can't interrupt others from enjoying the food, it's too abrupt.

It's a pity that Xiaoman didn't notice Liu Guiren's resentment, and she kept paying attention to the food because she deliberately avoided chatting with others.

The emperor sitting alone in the high position, although he occasionally chatted with Wang Guifei and listened to Li Concubine and Zhen Concubine's compliments, he would still glance down.

Zhengkang took several glances before he spotted Xiaoman's position, and he could see the person's expression clearly, the position is too far away.

For the first time, he felt that a woman was too far away from him.Well, the rank is still too low, otherwise we can advance a few tables.

Also, today's Xiaoman is very different, like another person.Powder face makeup, mandarin duck eyebrows, peach blossoms, hair combed into a spiritual bun, white jade chrysanthemum hairpin, and a red flower cage skirt. It is a change from the simple and pure dress in the past, which is very gorgeous.

In his impression, although Xiao Man is alluring, she always has the air of a naive little girl.Today, there is a sense of beauty.This lotus red suits Sai Xue's skin very well, but if it is bright red, it must be more graceful and luxurious.

In fact, the harem is different from ordinary people.In ordinary families, only the main wife is eligible to wear red after marriage, but in the harem, the most noble color is bright yellow, and generally high-ranking concubines can also wear red.

However, less than half a year after the empress's death, there was a Shuyuan who hurriedly put on the red color to attend the banquet, which angered Emperor Zhengkang and put her in the cold palace.From then on, no concubine in the harem dared to violate the taboo again.
