Zhi Ran and Ruoqin were already prepared. Zhi Ran helped Ruoqin dress up beautifully. The flag was dressed in light green clothes, and there were jade ornaments and simple hair accessories on the head of the flag. After Zhi Ran finished dressing up Ruoqin, she returned to the side hall.
"Master, your clothes have arrived. This servant will help you dress up?”Fei Xing said.
Water Deity looked at Zhi Ran as she held the sky blue clothes in her hands. Zhi Ran was stunned. She picked up the clothes and looked at it. It seemed to be an ink painting. Although there was nothing on it, the patterns on it were like blue and white porcelain. There was a faint hibiscus on the front, a light blue background color, blue and white porcelain patterns, and a white hibiscus on the front.
" The Emperor…actually still remembers that I like plain colors…" Zhi Ran's mouth was already overflowing with a smile." He still remembers that I once said 'lotus flowers emerge in clear water'…"
Fei Xing and Water Deity looked at Zhi Ran in surprise, then knelt down and said,""Master! Good news, you have never been in bed, but the emperor still remembers you. Congratulations, master!”
Zhi Ran looked at the hair accessories that were sent over. The sapphire was embedded in the silver hairpin, and there were also crystal beads. Some were even cloisonné hairpins. The flag was decorated with pink hibiscus flowers, and the yellow stamens were even more extraordinary. Zhi Ran sat in front of the dressing table while Shui Xian and Fei Xing helped with her makeup.
During the New Year's Eve banquet, the Imperial Palace became lively. This was because other than the concubines, all the princes and grandsons had come. In the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, a dragon throne was placed in the middle. On the right was the Empress Dowager, and on the left was the Empress. The concubines and princes were on both sides of the hall. In the first row were the imperial consorts, concubines, and concubines. From the place closest to the emperor to the door, they were: Imperial Concubine Xian, Imperial Concubine Yu, and Imperial Concubine Xin. The second and third rows were the nobles, Chang Zai, and Cheng.
When the New Year's Eve banquet began, she heard her father-in-law report," The Emperor has arrived-the Empress Dowager has arrived-the Empress has arrived-" Everyone stood up and knelt down."Long live my emperor. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager lived for thousands of years.”
The Emperor helped the Empress Dowager sit down and nodded,""No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Emperor."
"Tonight can also be considered a family banquet. We have gathered together happily.”After saying that, everyone stood up and drank their wine.
Then, everyone began to eat. The band and palace maids came to perform. As the songs ended, everyone was full.
When the palace band played, the Emperor shook his head and said,""No, I'm really not used to them bragging. Empress, your son will recommend someone to you. Her orchestral skills are unmatched.”
The Empress Dowager beamed." Alright, Emperor. Tell me, who is it?" Let aijia have a good time."
"Yes." Then the Emperor turned to Xiang Zhu." Noble Chang, did you bring your jade flute?”
Xiangzhu quickly got up and replied,"ChenQie brought it."”
"Then play a song for everyone. Let everyone listen to the sound of nature.”
Xiangzhu walked over leisurely and started playing Joy of Heaven and Earth in the middle of the hall. It was sometimes high and sometimes low. The cheerful rhythm was perfect for such a festive festival. The flute was played to perfection, and everyone present clapped and cheered.
Xiangzhu bowed and returned to her seat. "Aiya! Aijia actually didn't know you had such a powerful concubine, aijia likes her! Have you been rewarded?"
The Emperor replied,"She has been rewarded. I have given her a title."”
"Mm, it's not enough. Pass on this widow's words and reward him with jewelry. In the future, I'll personally guide the palace music workshop.”Xiang Zhu stood up and bowed.
"Emperor, Empress Dowager, ChenQie has an embroidered painting that I would like to present to the Emperor!”Wanrou knelt down and said.
"Hand it over!"
At this moment, a group of eunuchs arrived. They looked at a large bundle of scrolls that were slowly unfurling in the middle of the hall. Below the picture was a pine tree and a crane. The pine tree towered into the clouds, and there was a soaring dragon and a dancing phoenix in the clouds. The pattern was magnificent and lifelike. Everyone present nodded in praise when they saw it.
"This was embroidered by ChenQie and the Secretary. I wish the Empress Dowager a long life, the Emperor a long life, and the Empress a thousand years!”Wanrou bowed.
"Aiya! Good! That was great! Reward! You must reward him!" The Empress Dowager smiled from ear to ear.
"Emperor, Empress Dowager, Ruoqin also has a song she wants to perform. We all know that Noble Yong's singing and dancing are good, but Chen Changzai is also good! Today, Noble Yong has yet to recover from his illness, so let Chen Changzai perform!”
Zhi Ran stood up and said. Her beautiful azure color made the emperor sigh. There were really many beauties in the harem. Some were pretty, some were simple and elegant.
"Oh? Was that really the case? Chen Changzai, you do it." The emperor said to Ruoqin.
"Yes."
Ruoqin got up and started singing,"There's a beauty, I can't forget her."”
Then, he lightly tapped the ground with his toes and leaped into the air. Everyone's jaws dropped. Ruoqin was dressed simply, but she flew like a fairy.
"I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you like crazy.”Then, it slowly landed in the middle of the hall.
"The phoenix flies and soars, seeking the phoenix in the four seas.”Ruo Qin's hands were as nimble as a bird's when she transformed into a phoenix's head.
"The zither is a substitute for words.”Ruoqin spun and spread her arms like the wings of a phoenix.
"When will you see me?”She leaped into the air and flew.
"I'm willing to speak with you and join hands with you.”Ruo Qin spun in the air.
"I can't fly, so I'm doomed.”When she finished singing, the petals in Ruoqin's hands scattered like a goddess scattering flowers. Then, they slowly fell to the ground.
After singing, everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that they had seen a fairy.
"I never thought that you would be so talented!”The emperor said.
The Empress Dowager clapped her hands first." This widow has never seen such an interesting song and dance. It's too beautiful, just like a fairy!" Aiya, Emperor, your harem has really taken in quite a number of good girls!”
"Thank you for your praise, Empress Dowager."”
"Can you tell this widow, how did you fly in the sky like this?”
"This is all thanks to Noble Luo's teachings," Ruoqin said.”
Zhi Ran didn't expect Ruoqin to throw the topic to her, so she quickly got up and walked to Ruoqin's side, saying,"ChenQie tied the 'Flying Cavalry String' to Chen Changzai's waist and then wound the string around the beam. Little Weizi and Little Shunzi in ChenQie's palace were pulling it by the side. Because the Flying Cavalry String was tough and colorless, it was often used on the battlefield. It was like an invisible bow, so the enemy was terrified.”
"Noble Luo is really knowledgeable. Who said that a woman's lack of talent was virtue? Aijia doesn't agree. For you to know so clearly, you must have read a lot of books, right?”The Empress Dowager admired Zhi Ran very much.
"Many thanks for the Empress Dowager's praise. ChenQie is not talented and only knows a thing or two. These things and the 'Flying Cavalry String' were all told by Guo Changzai.”
"Good, really good. Someone who can write, dance, and play the flute. Aiya, it's really the fortune of the Qing Dynasty and the harem!”The Empress Dowager praised him. Emperor, Noble Luo, Chen Changzai, and Guo Changzai will all be rewarded. You can decide for yourself.”
"Alright, your son understands. Noble Luo and Chen Changzai, please accept your titles." Zhi Ran and Ruo Qin quickly knelt down.
"Noble Luo bestowed the title Ling, and Chen Changzai bestowed the title Ming. Yuan Qing, you go to the Respectful Affairs Office to record it. He also wanted to reward Guo Changzai with jewelry.”
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed and thanked him. After that, the Emperor also announced that Concubine Yu and Yong Chang Zai had been promoted to Concubine Yu and Noble Yong, as well as Noble Lu's title of Qing.
After the New Year's Eve banquet, the Emperor made an exception and did not sleep with the Empress. Instead, he went to Yangxin Hall and let Ruoqin sleep with him.
In the Fragrant Hall, Guan Ling was furious. Finally, Luo Zhiran, Chen Ruoqin, and now Guo Qingqiong had come to share their spoils with Guan Ling. A few days ago, Xiangzhu was favored. At least she wouldn't harm her. But these three people, Qingqiong was not afraid. No matter what, she was only fifteen years old, and she was carefree. She didn't seem to have any schemes. It was likely that Piaoqi Xian had only mentioned it to Luo Zhiran by chance. She just didn't expect that Luo Zhiran's schemes were so deep. Guan Ling frowned and rubbed her temples with her handkerchief.
"Master, in this situation, you should join forces with Noble Chang.”Che Xuan seemed to have read Guan Ling's mind.
"That's the only way." Guan Ling looked out the window. Bengong will go find Xiangzhu jiejie tomorrow. If we don't join hands, they will definitely be above us!”
In a side hall of Scenic Yang Palace, Zhi Ran was quietly embroidering something while Fei Xing stood at the side and yawned.
"Master, go to sleep. It's already very late.”Water Deity said.
Zhi Ran put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at them."Do you think bengong's move was correct?”Water Deity and Fei Xing looked at Zhi Ran in confusion.
"Look, whether it's Guan Ling or Xiang Zhu, they've never come to harm us. Why should we fight for their favor? I'm afraid that it's fine if we don't fight. Now that we're fighting, they'll hate us instead.”
Water Deity smiled slightly and said,"Master, the harem is not what you think. Do you think you can live a stable life without fighting for it?" You are wrong. The more you don't fight, the more you will be stepped on by others. In the end, even eunuchs and palace maids will dare to surpass you. You will live without any dignity.”
Zhi Ran took a deep breath and sighed,"It's not right to fight, it's not right to not fight.”
"Yes, I am." Water Deity helped Zhi Ran up and said," Besides, everything has already happened. You can't change anything. In the future, you can only take one step at a time.”
On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhi Ran walked to the imperial garden and looked at the plum blossoms all over the garden. She couldn't help but sigh."The plum beard is less white than the moon, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum.”
"Yes, the snow loses to the plum blossoms.”
Zhi Ran turned around and realized that it was the emperor. She quickly knelt down and said,"Long live the Emperor."
The Emperor helped Zhi Ran up and said,"It seems that you are a person who understands poetry and books."”
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. ChenQie's talent is shallow and doesn't know much. However, ChenQie has thought of a couplet. I wonder if the emperor can help ChenQie think of a second couplet?”
"Tell me."
"Admiring the snow in winter, the snow is pure and the plum fragrance is drifting thousands of miles.”
The Emperor thought for a moment and said,"Summer is rainy, the rain is clear and the lotus flowers are gorgeous, and the flowers are gorgeous."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 30PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
