Three hundred and ninety-five winter banquet
Cao Shunrong struggled to say that he had recovered from his illness, but he did not let it go. She was trembling and knew that someone wanted to compete with her for Princess Yuyu. Although she said that she was cured, the princess would not be able to move in for a long time if the emperor and the imperial concubine did not speak. If she did not move in, this matter would not be considered to be real, and there would always be some troubles. Who knows who would be plotting against him? She was so worried and frightened that she would wait until the palace held a winter banquet on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It was said to be a winter banquet, but because Concubine Jin died for a hundred days, there was neither wine nor dance music on the table, and there were not many people qualified to sit on the table. Except for the emperor and the imperial concubine, the rest of the people were not satisfied with two round tables, which looked deserted and did not look like a festival.
Today, Gao Jieyu was wearing a red palace outfit with begonia, with powder on her face, and a set of seven new seal flowers inlaid inlaid Baochai this year. The tassels drooped beads were swaying beads next to her cheeks. She looked like she didn't look old at all. But Cao Shunrong was obviously younger than her, but her complexion was much worse. Her cheeks were so thin that she was covered in. The powder was also applied, but she seemed to be floating on her face, not natural at all. She was not very good at all, but she had some talent after reading poetry at home, and she looked a little more talented than others. However, she had no spirit at all after being sick these days. The newly made palace outfit was empty when she was wearing it, and her back was a little hunched. She sat with Gao Jieyu, and she seemed to be older than others.
Her eyes flashed, and she looked at the people on the table one by one. If she could sit on this table, she would at least have to be a beauty to go up. The emperor is not a lustful person. There are not many concubines in the harem. There are still only so many people who can come today. Cao Shunrong dared not say that it must be the imperial concubine who harmed her, and she was also suspicious of others. She looked at each other one, feeling that everyone was suspected, and they all seemed to be plotting against her to harm her. She only dared to smear the things on the table, but didn't dare to eat them at all. Not to mention the things outside, even in Yalanxuan, she was always suspicious when she looked at the meal she sent every day. No matter what she ate, it was as difficult as swallowing sand and gravel. She walked all these days. If she hadn't been trying to meet the emperor and find an opportunity to talk to the emperor for a few words to talk to the emperor, she wouldn't be able to come to the palace banquet today.
As long as the emperor says something, he quickly moves Princess Yuyu to Yalanxuan, her suffering these days will not be in vain. After the princess moves in, she can only make more effort to let the emperor see her benefits.
The palace was very quiet, no one moved the dishes on the table, and the emperor was there, and no one dared to say anything. Although there were so many people sitting in the room, they were dead. Cao Shunrong glanced at the middle table. In previous years, the emperor always showed his face and left when he was in the winter banquet. Sometimes he didn't show his face, but today he made an exception and stayed there. He was beside him, and he turned half of his face slightly and talked to Princess Yuyao sitting beside him. Princess Yuyu was carried to the banquet last year and showed his face. This year, because he was sick all the time, no one dared to carry her out again.
Cao Shunrong's eyes moved from the imperial concubine's face to Princess Yuyao. Princess Yuyao has grown very fast in the past or two years. She is wearing a double snail bun and a pair of golden silk wrapped jade flowers. There is also a very delicate red gold-intact red collar on her neck. The faint veins and ears on her head are extremely delicate. In addition to this, there is also a silver chain tied between her neck, and a small and exquisite white jade rabbit is tied to the middle, but it is as big as a knuckle.
They are all princesses, Princess Yuyao is healthy and smart. What's more important is that she is favored and the emperor loves this daughter very much. If she raises Princess Yuya, she might be able to sit with Princess Yuya on the table where the emperor sat next time during the palace banquet.
How many years have Cao Shunrong been in the palace? When he first entered the palace, he was still noble. He always felt that he had read poetry and books, and he could not compete for some favor like those illiterate women. That was too vulgar. After all these years, he realized that he was actually just a vulgar person. He had been with the queen and Shufei, and had been angry, established rules, and punished scriptures. He suffered a lot of sarcasm. He felt angry and wanted to rise. Everything he said in the palace was fake, and only a prince was real.
I heard that it is difficult to get too thin, so she secretly recuperated. She ate four meals a day and added two snacks. She had a little more flesh than before, but her belly was not good. She also secretly asked the imperial physician to help her pulse, afraid that there was something wrong with her body, so the imperial physician said that there was nothing.
She also knew that if she wanted a child, she couldn't be too anxious, but the emperor had only a few days to enter the harem. She didn't necessarily have to see him in a month and waited for him every day and every night. Later... so many years later.
When Cao Shunrong was toasting the emperor just now, sweating in her palms, which was cold and hot. She had so many words hidden in her stomach. She finally saw the emperor, but she might not miss this time. She really wanted to ask the emperor for love, and beg the emperor to put the princess into her immediately. If she tormented like this, she would have to endure herself to death.
The words came to my throat. I saw the bright and graceful concubine sitting next to me. Today was the winter banquet. She was wearing a serious concubine's auspicious clothes. The bright yellow auspicious clothes embroidered by the phoenix are particularly luxurious. The phoenix colored wings are made of real gold threads, which seem to be bright and bright. The phoenix is like flying out of brocade.
With such a diligence, I can't speak. When I came to my senses, I had already missed the opportunity, so I had to come back and sit down.
Gao Jieyu didn't eat much on the mat, and it was half cold and not hot. When a mutton hot pot was served, the pot was covered with charcoal fire, the palace servants scooped half a bowl of soup, and there was a piece of tofu and stewed mutton. When the soup and meat were eaten, they felt warm. Looking at Cao Shunrong beside him, Gao Jieyu also said to her: "This soup is not greasy, you can try it too."
Cao Shunrong came back to his senses, looked at Concubine Gao, and said, "I haven't dared to eat meat these days, and my stomach can't stand it."
This is not a lie.
Concubine Gao nodded and said nothing else.
Cao Shunrong hadn't been suspicious before that, Concubine Gao was plotting against her and scrambling with her to raise the princess. There was a precedent for Concubine Gao to want a princess. When Concubine Shu was not there, Concubine Gao jumped up and down and wanted to raise Princess Yuyao. Now she finally got another opportunity, and she must be active and did not make any tricks.
On the other side of Cao Shunrong was Li Zhaorong. This guy was originally talking little, he was content and did not take care of things. But Cao Shunrong is no longer naive now. Who in the palace is not wearing two faces in front of others? If Li Zhaorong was really honest, how could she, a beauty without foundation, get along with Zhaorong, who was Shufei Feng?
On the other side of Gao Jieyu was sitting. She had been sick for a long time and didn't go out. This was the first time Cao Shunrong saw her since that time. Chen Jieyu was also an outstanding beauty before. Before the imperial concubine, she was the most eye-catching one in the palace. However, after many ups and downs, Chen Jieyu is now different from before. She was pale and thin. Even though she sat in such a warm palace, she still wrapped herself in two layers of jackets and leaned against the back of the chair for a long time without moving.
Cao Shunrong didn't want to see her more.
This is the end of losing favor once. What's the difference between sitting in a cold palace? It's only one breath more than a dead tree and a dead ashes.
