The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 72 New Year (Part [-])

After the dance, concubine Hui led all the dancers to kneel down and perform the Mongolian ceremony, congratulating the four people in the high seat at the banquet for a happy new year.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager smiled at each other, and rewarded Concubine Hui with a gold-encrusted jade statue and a pair of East Pearl earrings.

The queen also praised her for her thoughtfulness, and what's more, her dance reached the heart of the emperor, and the emperor actually gave her to sit side by side with Concubine Yi.

Wan Lai looked at the flattering words in her mouth indifferently, and thought of how she harmed An Guiren's child with the following thoughts, and even tried to kill herself and Rong Yue, feeling sick in her heart.

She looked into Concubine Hui's waist, who was brazenly wearing a Ruyi Knot of the Lotus Flower Sutra, so she raised her glass and left her seat, congratulating Concubine Hui on the New Year's Eve: "Concubine Hui's dance is overwhelming, and my concubine really worships her when she sees it. I also hope that I can ask my mother for advice in the future, so that I can correct my rough hands and feet, right?"

Wan Lai smiled and drank a cup, and Concubine Hui also raised her glass with a smile: "Sister, why don't you and I have such a close relationship, why don't you see each other, sister will go to your palace to teach you someday?"

Wan Lai nodded, and suddenly reached out to grab the wishful knot around her waist and asked: "Sister, this wishful knot is so delicate, can I give it to my younger sister?"

Concubine Hui's expression froze for a moment, then she returned to normal for a moment, she just gently pushed Wanyu's hand away, and replied with a smile: "How can I give this rough thing to my younger sister, when my sister will sew a good one by herself in the future, I will give it to you as a gift." How about showing you my sisterhood?"

"Since my sister doesn't want to show love, let's wait for another day." She looked at Concubine Hui and exhaled lightly, and then pretended to be surprised: "I heard that the nobles of the Horqin tribe often embroider Babur flowers on the wishful knots." In order to pray for peace and good luck. When my sister gives it to me some other day, can I sew a petal for my sister too?"

Concubine Hui glanced at Wanyu, her eyes were not as soft as before, but rather cold.

At first she was just suspicious, but now hearing what Wan Lai said, she must know that she framed her.

She said something natural in her mouth, drank the glass of wine, sat down and ignored Wan Yu.

"Wan'er Huizhi is blue-hearted, so she even knows the hidden customs of the Horqin tribe?" The emperor said with great interest: "You have a good relationship with Concubine Hui, presumably she didn't mean to say that she would go with you?"

Wan Yu smiled but didn't answer. After returning to the empress, she was in a hurry to drink and now she was a little tipsy. She wanted to go back and have a rest so as not to lose her manners in front of the emperor.

The emperor greeted her with concern, and ordered Liang Jiugong to escort her all the way back to the palace.

Along the way, she looked at the black sky in the narrow corridor.

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, looking back as far as the eye can see, the Qianqing Palace is still very lively.

The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the Forbidden City, and many people in the palace stopped to watch the colorful and gorgeous fireworks soaring into the sky. They exploded in the endless night of the Forbidden City, bursting out colorful sparks, comparable to a bright moon. All overshadowed.

A lone jackdaw landed on the branch of a plum tree, presumably frightened by the deafening sound of fireworks and firecrackers, flapped its jet-black wings a few times, and flew into the air with a yah-yah.

When entering the Chengqian Palace, Yunshan and Yunchan greeted her first, seeing that Wanyu was faltering after being sent back by Liang Jiugong in front of the imperial court, they hurriedly asked her why she drank so much wine.

After thanking Liang Jiugong, the two rushed into the side hall with Wan Yu's arm.

When Ke Fang stepped into the gate of the palace, Wan Yu looked as usual, and she didn't seem to be drunk at all.

Yunshan and Yunchan were puzzled, but they heard Wannai say: "How can you get drunk after three glasses of wine? It's just that the waist and limbs sitting on the table are sore and tired, and they are tired of dealing with the queen mother and queen, so they just lie and come back to hide." Just lazy."

She ordered Yunshan to go to the small kitchen to make hangover soup, and ordered Yunchan to bring some sweet snacks, and when the two returned to the bedroom, they saw that Wanyu had already washed and slept.

Yunshan still looked arrogant, raised her chin at Yunchan, and signaled her to wait outside, while she brought hangover soup and snacks to Wanyu's bed at the same time, and said softly: "My lord, what do you want?" Get your things ready, why don't you take some rest?"

"Take a stove to simmer the hangover soup, and then put the snacks on the small pear wood table at the side, and you and Yunchan can go to the veranda to rest."

"Didn't the little master prepare it for himself?" Yun Shan asked.

Wanyu turned around, pulled up a corner of the quilt to wrap herself tightly: "If I don't come in, someone will come in, you go down and rest."

Yun Shan arranged everything according to Wan Lai's instructions, and said to Yun Chan who had been waiting in the cold wind outside the palace, "Now that I'm back with the little master, you have to remember your identity, don't think that the little master You can be on par with me after taking care of the Lord for a few days during the confinement period. You must know that I have been in love with the Lord for several years, and you cannot compare."

Yun Chan lowered her head, still looking cowardly as usual, Yun Shan rolled her eyes at her, and sent her back to the veranda to rest, but she stood at the gate of the palace hugging Mrs. Tang and refused to leave .

After waiting for about an hour, Rongyue and Ronggui all returned to the palace to rest one after another. After standing outside the house for a long time, Mrs. Tang who was holding her in her arms was also warmed by the cold wind. Angrily muttering to himself: "I thought that those things that I prepared might be the emperor's coming. It's so late and there's no one in sight, but are you going to freeze me to death?"

She had just uttered these complaints, but she heard movement outside the door.

She looked around on tiptoe, and she was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, but it was undoubtedly the emperor. It was strange that no one followed him.

The emperor was staggering, drunk and hazy, his cheeks were red, and he was even more confused under the night light.

Yunshan was overjoyed, put down Mrs. Tang, straightened her clothes, went up to the emperor in three steps and two steps, and said in a charming voice: "Oh, why are you so drunk, the emperor? Why don't you let the servants serve you?" ?”

The emperor leaned on Yunshan, smelling of alcohol, shook his head vigorously, looked at her with fixed eyes and smiled slightly: "I know you, you are Wan'er's personal maid called. Call." The emperor waved his fingers in the air in a circle , pointing at Yunshan suddenly: "It's called Yunshan?"

"I'm afraid my servant's low life will pollute the holy ear. I'm grateful that the emperor doesn't dislike it and I can still remember it." With a shy expression on her face, Yunshan held the emperor's arm and lifted it up even more, and her arm reached the emperor's tight chest: "The emperor drinks so much. Drunk, where are you going? Why don't you let the slaves take you back to Qianqing Palace?"

Yunshan said that she was about to send the emperor out of the palace, but was suddenly pushed by the emperor.

The emperor was drunk, and with great strength, he pushed the spruce onto the pile of snow piled up by the palace servants. The dirty snow scattered all over the spruce, and a burst of coldness made her suddenly jump up and shake the snow on her body.

The emperor hiccupped and said, "You are Wan'er's personal maid, and if I have a heart for Wan'er, I will naturally remember you."

Yunshan's heart shuddered, she didn't realize that Shenshang was laughing at herself, after all she was still in the glory of Wanya, otherwise how could the emperor remember her name as a vulgar servant?
