Chapter 322 The Crown Princess' Scheme (1)
As she spoke, she picked up a pair of chopsticks, and took a bite out of a plate of pea yellow on the concubine's table.

In the palace, when the emperor and concubines eat, they must be tasted by eunuchs or court ladies who are in charge of poison testing before they can be given to the emperor and concubines, so as not to tempt and poison the master.

By doing this, Concubine Chun is personally helping Concubine Dowager test the poison and giving Concubine Tai enough face.

The concubine nodded slowly, and said gracefully: "I am relieved to have you by the emperor's side."

Seeing this scene, a young concubine not far away couldn't help biting her silver teeth secretly, and muttered in a low voice: "I really know how to be courteous, maybe I was a bulldog in my previous life, and I used to please people."

Concubine Xiao who was sitting beside her heard her cursing, as if she didn't hear it, she just picked up the cup of tea in front of her, took a sip, and then dipped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand.

In the past, Concubine Tong, the concubine of the third prince, was sitting next to her, but because the third prince committed a crime, Concubine Tong was also implicated and thrown into the cold palace.

That's why this newly promoted concubine filled Concubine Tong's seat. She was young, so she couldn't help but speak out. If this continues, she might not be able to sit in this seat for long.

Finally, a eunuch shouted at the gate of the Imperial Garden: "The Empress Dowager has arrived..."

The emperor and all civil and military officials all stood up to welcome the Queen Mother.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager walked in surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs. Although she was a young man, the Empress Dowager's mentality was obviously very young, her head was full of white hair, and she even wore a high bun. She wore all kinds of gemstones and jewellery, and she also wore a phoenix crown. She also wore a big red dress embroidered with butterflies and flowers. Inside was a pink shirt and petticoat. She wore a green jadeite bracelet on her left wrist. A gold bracelet, a string of agarwood beads, a red agate bracelet, a rhododendron bracelet, and a silver inlaid bracelet on the right wrist.

A string of red coral beads hung around her neck, and on her ten fingers, except for the thumbs of both hands, the other eight fingers were all wearing gemstone rings of various colors.

Seeing the empress dowager's outfit, Gu Qingmei felt that her eyes were a little cramped, she couldn't help turning her face and glanced at Murong Yu beside her, and saw the corner of Murong Yu's mouth showing contempt, obviously she didn't like this woman Queen Mother.

But it's also true, her man's aesthetics are very normal, the empress dowager dresses up like this, it's because she is the empress dowager that no one dares to ridicule her publicly, otherwise, she would have been laughed out of her teeth long ago.

This is not a normal attire, it is clearly showing off wealth, but the more ostentatious it is, the more ridiculous it is.

Concubine Mu Jun, on the other hand, was dressed in a dark brown brocade robe with tufted flowers, her gray hair was pulled into a bun on the back of her head, she only wore a jasper hairpin, a string of jasper beads on her neck, and a jasper hairpin on her left wrist. The imperial concubine bracelet, and a jasper ring on the ring finger of the left hand, the whole person looks graceful, luxurious, and extravagant.

It's not like this queen mother at all, I'm afraid I can't wait to wear all the jewelry in the dressing box to show off my identity as queen mother.

Little do they know that such a dress can make people laugh out loud, and they don't know what kind of family has trained such a superb, queen mother of a country, who can't even know how to dress up.

She was very suspicious, how did the queen mother enter the palace?She was even more skeptical, just because of the empress dowager's aesthetic point of view, how did she get the late emperor's favor?

Concubine Mujun looked at the queen mother with undisguised disgust, and when she approached, she snorted coldly and said, "You are so excited to have these people waiting for you here."

The queen mother looked at her sitting there, and did not stand up to greet her like the others. A wrinkled old face showed deep dissatisfaction, and she replied: "Ai's family is old, so it's late, why? Can't you?" ?”

"Are you older than me?" The concubine heard the words, picked up the dragon head crutch in her hand, and smashed it heavily on the ground.

The Empress Dowager's expression shrank for a while, she didn't dare to speak any more, and sat down in her own seat.

The dragon-headed crutch in the concubine's hand was bestowed by the former emperor. It beats the emperor at the top, and the courtiers at the bottom. The beating is useless, and there is no place to complain. Even though she is the empress dowager, she dare not provoke this easily. The old princess.

The emperor looked at his mother's eyes and showed a trace of dissatisfaction. As the king of a country, he ruled the world with filial piety, so naturally he couldn't say anything about his mother's fault.

But the emperor's aesthetics are the same as normal men's. A woman of any age needs to wear clothes of the corresponding age, wear hair accessories of the corresponding age, and dress up according to the age, but his mother doesn't seem to know what age. What kind of dress should be done, but she just likes to blindly wear jewelry on her body, thinking that she is a beautiful girl, so that the courtiers are secretly laughing at her, she doesn't know yet.

The most annoying thing is that she doesn't allow the palace people to have any objection to her attire. Once, a palace lady who helped her dress up persuaded her to dress up properly, but she ordered someone to drag her out and beat her to death. Since then, no one dared to persuade her anymore, and let her dress herself up like an old hag.

Seeing that she had sat down, the emperor sat down again, and invited all the courtiers to sit down as well.

Only then did Concubine Chun give a speech, and then Eunuch Xi stepped forward and took a performance list in his hand. On the list were the names of the ladies who signed up for performances today, as well as the performances.

The first one is a young lady from the censor. This young lady is fourteen years old. Her performances include calligraphy and impromptu poetry.

The programs went on one after another, and soon it was Murong Wenjing's turn, and Murong Wenjing's performance was playing the piano.

These ladies and gentlemen perform nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At such a banquet, they can't find someone to play chess, so there are only piano, calligraphy and painting plus songs and dances, a total of five skills.

Because they are all trained since childhood, there is always something that can be used, even if they are not very proficient, they can still fool people.

Murong Wenjing played a very common Die Lianhua. Although she was born as a concubine, she was always loved by the concubine at home. Since she was young, she and Murong Wenying hired a special nun to teach The two sisters have all kinds of skills, plus Jiang Wanruo is good at playing the piano, and would give them some advice from time to time, so they are very proficient at playing the piano. look.

She is a beauty, plus she has always been weak and humble. She went out with her mother several times as a guest, and won a lot of word of mouth. Her reputation is even better than that of the straightforward Murong Wenying.
