The next day was the birthday of Nanjia.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was the first birthday banquet held by the new queen. Even if Nanjia asked not to spend too much money on it, Wei Linyuan still made the house of internal affairs not careless. Even if it was only the royal family and the concubines, the house of internal affairs still didn't dare to be careless.
In Fengyi palace, Furong serves Nanjia to change into the beautiful palace skirt of red phoenix Qiwu, which has already been customized by the house of internal affairs. Her long black hair is all rolled up. There are three golden steps on the left and right hairpins. There are pearl flowers on both sides. There are bright red plum blossom prints in the center of eyebrows. The black eyebrows are lightly depicted and the red lips are slightly dotted. It is noble and elegant.
"The empress is really a rare beauty in the world. Today she looks like a fairy." Furong helped her up and said with a smile.
Nanjia, looking at herself reflected in the bronze mirror, could not help but slightly shyly pursed the corners of her lips and ordered people to reward the palace people. Then she supported Furong's hand.
"Niang Niang, you masters are waiting outside to greet you." A maid of honor came in.
"Let them in." Nanjia's face was so red that she had never seen such a battle except when she was appointed queen.
Furong also said with a smile: "go and sit down first. The emperor sent someone to send a message and said that she would come later."
Hearing this, Nanjia couldn't hide her joy. She hung her eyes shyly and went to the flower hall slowly with hibiscus' hand.
When Nanjia arrived at the flower hall, all the concubines immediately bowed their knees to salute and lamented the magnificence of the empress's palace dress.
Lin Chuyu's position is just a noble man. There are three concubines and two concubines on the top, so standing at the back, I just heard the people below murmur.
"It's said that the emperor ordered the house of internal affairs to make this dress for the empress, which shows the emperor's intention to the empress."
"After all, it's still the empress of the palace. Naturally, the emperor should like to respect some people, not some individuals. You see, the emperor dotes on her. Is that right? Has the emperor given her this favor?"
Cicada ear Ling, heard these, quietly looked up at Lin Chuyu, but found that she is still calm drooping eyes, as if did not hear the general.
When the queen came to the first seat and sat down, she said, "let's do it."
"Thank you for your grace." After another salute, they all sat down.
Jiang Guiren sat beside Lin Chuyu. After sitting down, he looked at the concubines who were sitting in front of him and said with a smile, "the empress is so beautiful today. If the Emperor sees it, he is afraid that he will not be able to walk."
"My younger sister said and laughed. Her appearance is nothing but appearance. How can the emperor be such a superficial person?" Nanjia was praised, naturally happy, but still modest.
Jiang GUI people smell speech, pursed lips to smile to see eye Lin Chuyu, also don't speak.
The other two concubines sitting beside her were Liang pin, the granddaughter of Liang Taiyi. She was timid and obedient. She had been holding her head down and pinching her handkerchief nervously since she entered the door.
The lovely girl with a round face, who was close to her, was Cao Bin, the daughter of a local magistrate. She seemed to be very interested in the life of the harem, but she was smart. She looked around all the time, but she didn't answer easily. She only laughed at what she said to her occasionally.
Jiang's words fell, and these concubines all bowed their heads, not to mention the two concubines who had the title of concubine. They only drank tea lightly, and they didn't use it to ridicule Lin Chuyu.
Jiang Guiren was stunned and looked at concubine Xian. Concubine Xian only said with a faint smile, "the empress really knows the emperor best. The emperor is busy with government affairs and seldom comes to the harem. If you can have such a bosom friend as the empress, my concubines really envy the emperor."
Concubine Xian's words were funny, and the people on the scene naturally agreed and laughed.
Nanjia also quietly drinks tea. Naturally, the concubines praise today's birthday star. Lin Chuyu sits quietly at the bottom and drinks tea until Yu Yi looks at her.
Yu Yi's affair, Lin Chuyu remembers that she said before that she would not live long, and always wants to see what happened to her.
"Fugui, empress, the preserves here are very good. You often eat them."
Yu Yi said with a smile.
Lin Chuyu saw that Yu Yi was wearing a long blue dress today. Her hair was black and she only had two or three hairpins. There was almost no makeup on her face, so her face looked even paler. Now she was laughing, and she felt that she was about to fall down in the wind.
Lin Chuyu twisted a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth. He chewed it lightly. Even though his mind changed a thousand ways, he couldn't make a sound at this time.
But Yu Yi didn't seem to care. Seeing her eating candied fruit, she said with a smile: "it's really good."
"Well." Lin Chuyu nodded slightly.
"I don't know what happened last time?" Yu Yi asked with a smile.
Lin Chuyu looked at her, took a sip of tea and swallowed it. Then she said in a low voice, "I haven't found a chance yet. Don't worry. I will tell the emperor about it as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fu." Yu Yi said, outside came eunuch, said the emperor came.Words fall, in Yi then cough, and cough of very fierce.
Nanjia frowned and said, "if you don't feel comfortable, you'd better go to the side hall and have a rest. I don't think the emperor will blame you."
"Thank you for your understanding. I'll leave." Yu Yi's face is suffused with abnormal purplish red. It seems that he coughed too much. He bowed his eyes and bowed. Then he turned back. He didn't mean to see the emperor half a minute.
Lin Chuyu looked at the bottom of his eyes and guessed something in his heart.
In the twinkling of an eye, Wei Linyuan's tall figure appeared at the door.
The faces of all the concubines were wonderful. Although concubine Xian was smiling, her smile could not reach the bottom of her eyes. As for Jiang Guiren on her side, there was a bit of panic between her eyebrows and eyes, and her handkerchief was about to break.
"Get up." Wei Linyuan said faintly, then went to the queen.
As soon as I passed by, I heard a puff, and the atmosphere in the room immediately condensed.
Lin Chuyu looked up and saw that the obedient and timid Liang pin fell in front of Wei Linyuan, just blocking his way forward.
Wei Linyuan's face was cold. Liang's concubines seemed to be scared and didn't dare to move until Cao's concubines next to her went up and said, "emperor, Liang's elder sister certainly didn't mean it. Please don't punish him."
Wei Linyuan this just light at eye Cao pin: "what's your name?"
"My concubine is Cao Qingqing, the daughter of the magistrate of Nanzhou." Cao Bin blushed shyly, and her round little face pursed a shy smile, which was really charming.
The other concubines looked at him and looked at him with envy and jealousy.
Lin Chuyu looked at it and pitied the timid concubine Liang. She not only offended the emperor, but also gave the empress Cao a chance.
But after Wei Linyuan had a light look at Cao Qingqing, he went to sit beside the queen.
According to the palace rules, the emperor must come here to show the honor of the head of the six palaces of the queen. If he likes it better, he has to stay at night.
