Yangcheng

With the help of Tong Shaoqian and Bai Erniang, Tang Jianwei's preparations for the grand golden autumn imperial concubine banquet went very smoothly.

Bai Erniang thought much better than she and Tong Shaoqian, but she didn't know when she devoted herself to practice and had such a splendid technique.

Tang Jianwei found that Bai Erniang was quite sensitive to colors, even if ordinary colors were in her hands, she could combine them into scenes that fit the atmosphere and artistic conception.

Not only did not steal the limelight of the food itself, but Tang Jianwei took the lead in completing more than half of the "color" among the three elements of color, aroma, and taste.

Tang Jianwei was pleasantly surprised: "When did our Abai secretly grow up to be a painter?"

Tong Shaoqian said casually: "She often doesn't sleep at night, and she paints all night. But even so, she needs extraordinary talent to reach her current level. It seems that she is naturally suitable for this line of work, but she has never been discovered before. .”

Tong Shaoqian probably didn't even realize what she said - Tang Jianwei didn't know about Abai staying up at night to hone his painting skills, and he never heard it mentioned by anyone in Tong's mansion, but the third sister knew it like the back of his hand.

It seems that the third sister is still paying attention to A Bai.

"Abai also has a dress for the eldest princess to match the imperial concubine's banquet." Tang Jianwei said a few more words, "The eldest princess is very satisfied and has recommended her to the princes of the noble families. I'm afraid Abai will be invited to the house to help at the banquet. Maybe it won't take long for Abai to become a popular celebrity in Boling."

"Oh." Tong Shaoqian said, "Wouldn't that be great, she's got the reward after suffering."

"It must be either rich or expensive in the future."

"Then she, Ye Niang, will be able to lie down and enjoy the rest of her life."

Tang Jianwei said something that Tong Shaoqian responded to, but the words were completely different. He deliberately picked himself out, and he didn't know if he did it on purpose.

Tang Jianwei felt that Ah Bai was down-to-earth and hardworking. He had been devoted to sister Ah Shen for so many years, and now he has a skill that has won the favor of the eldest princess. If he can form a good relationship with her, it will be a good destination.

But Tang Jianwei didn't have the hobby of making connections and protecting the media, and what he said was nothing more than relaying the facts to the point.

In the end, whether she is tempted or not has to be decided by the third sister herself.

It's just that Tang Jianwei has already seen the infinite possibilities of Ah Bai in the future.

Now she is still a little person who no one cares about, but with such a great power in her body, Tang Jianwei can roughly predict what height she will reach in the future and how many suitors she will have around her.

At that time, Abai will have more choices.

……

"At the banquet tomorrow, will Second Sister come?"

Tong Shaoqian and Tang Jianwei took the food list and compared them one by one, so as not to miss that dish, Tong Shaoqian asked her like this.

After asking, in order to prevent Tang Jianwei from misunderstood that he was thinking about the second sister who always bullied her, Tong Shaoqian quickly followed up: "Aye, Auntie asked me to ask, and said that she would bring her some winter clothes."

Tang Jianwei said: "Tomorrow is a concubine banquet specially held for the second sister. How can the second sister not come. But we are busy in the kitchen, and there are many guards around her. The emperor will definitely take her to get acquainted with the ministers and relatives. Let's Everyone is busy, so we may not see each other again."

"That's right." Tong Shaoqian added casually, "Ye Niang is also worrying about it. The second sister is going to be a concubine, not to fight. Concubine, why do we need to prepare winter clothes, the palace must be well prepared .”

Tang Jianwei lowered his voice and said, "Ye Niang is probably afraid that the second sister will be bullied. After all, there are many concubines in the palace, and there is another noble concubine."

Of course Tong Shaoqian understands Ye Niang's painstaking efforts, but will the second sister be bullied?

Recalling the various behaviors of the second sister in the past, Tong Shaoqian can only tremble with fear.

The second sister who can get along well wherever she goes, really can't imagine what it will be like for her to be bullied.

If she doesn't bully the imperial concubine Lan, she will make the harem uneasy, and everyone in Tongfu will have to burn incense...

Tomorrow is the imperial concubine's banquet, and she must attend the banquet specially held for Tong Shaozhuo.

Although he was reluctant, the chief servant still had to come to Fenghua Palace.Together with the Shaofu, they supervise whether Concubine Tong Gui's makeup and clothing are appropriate.

Just when they reached the gate of Fenghua Palace, they heard a tidy shout from inside.

The steward and her entourage stopped immediately.

This voice...was thick and powerful, could it be the sound of training only in the training ground?

The next moment, Tong Shaozhuo's cry confirmed what she thought.

"I also have a good heart! Even though I died nine times, I still haven't regretted it!"

"Blood and sweat but no tears!"

"Today you train your muscles and bones, and tomorrow your family will be rich!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The majestic voice in Fenghua Palace made the chief servant silent for a moment.

The attendants all silently looked at the chief servant, observing the extent of her anger and how far they needed to keep from her in order to avoid being implicated.

"Ridiculous!" the head servant cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.

She really couldn't understand why the emperor would appoint such a person as a noble concubine, disturbing the palace, ignoring the elegance and dignity that a concubine should have, it really lost the face of the royal family.

The chief servant walked into Fenghua Palace aggressively, and saw that the maids and attendants in Fenghua Palace were holding sticks in their hands and wearing armor, standing in the spacious courtyard and seemed to be forming a flawless formation.

Previously, the palace people of Fenghua Palace were thin and weak, but looking at them now, even in autumn, they were sweating all over their bodies, and their eyes were as bright as wolves.

Seeing that someone came in, the attention of everyone who was still practicing just now was immediately attracted, and they all glared at the Ministry of Internal Affairs with great momentum, like hungry wolves suddenly found their prey.

This unanimous glance, not to mention the entourage, even the head of the housekeeper was looked at with hairs all over.

"Yo, it's Aunt Qi." Tong Shaozhuo said.

After not seeing him for a few days, Tong Shaozhuo's skin looked a lot paler.

She has been insisting on using the ointment that Tang Jianwei brought her to salvage some of the rough skin caused by the war outside.Although the skin is still honey-colored, those obvious small wounds have been repaired and smoothed.

At first glance under the sun, it really looks a bit bright and moving——

As long as she doesn't speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was that sloppy tone.

Aunt Qi: "..."

I wish I wasn't the one who came here to suffer.

Aunt Qi held a heavy wooden box in her arms, which contained the headgear for Tong Shaozhuo.

The followers behind are holding clothes, skirts, shoes and socks, accessories...

There are hundreds of pieces in total, and they are here for Tong Shaozhuo to choose, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will supervise or provide advice.

Generally speaking, noble concubines are wealthy daughters with extraordinary taste, and within the regulations, they can always match their own clothes that are very eye-catching and different from ordinary concubines.

Often Aunt Qi didn't have to worry about it.

But the noble concubine in front of me...

Aunt Qi frowned at Tong Shaozhuo.

Even though it wasn't a very cold day, under the howling autumn wind, Tong Shaozhuo was wearing a single shirt and narrow trousers, soap boots, and a forehead that warriors often wear on his head. He was tall and strong.

Where is the concubine here...

The general of the forbidden army is alive and well.

"The old slave is here to prepare the costumes for the imperial concubine's banquet tomorrow."

Aunt Qi simply closed her eyes, not knowing what to see.

"Oh, that's it. Auntie, wait a moment, don't worry, wait until I finish this practice. You go to the back room to rest for a while."

Aunt Qi: "..."

A vein popped up on his forehead.

"Why did your empress say that? Tomorrow is the imperial concubine's banquet. The most important thing today is to quickly determine the clothes, what else can there be? Is it possible that the imperial concubine regards this place as a training ground?"

Don't be afraid of being laughed at when you speak out.

The second half of the sentence mocked Aunt Qi just said it in her heart, and didn't speak directly.

Although the entire harem talked a lot about Tong Guifei, there were many people who looked down on her or thought she was fresh, but no one dared to point fingers at her in public.

No matter how absurd she is, everyone knows that His Majesty comes to Fenghua Palace every night.

This Concubine Tong is always favored, and coupled with the identity of the Tong family, one can imagine her status in the eyes of the emperor.

If she is provoked, the emperor is afraid that he will support her, so he will not be lenient.

Then again, if you confront her, you don't need the emperor to show up. This Concubine Tong is a crazy beast, and she will get rough with others at every turn. Who would dare to provoke her?

Aunt Qi had nothing to do, she had no choice but to do what the emperor ordered.

If things are done quickly, she can live a few more years.

……

Tong Shaozhuo is used to wearing light Hu clothes. The complicated skirts that the imperial concubine usually wears have made her bored, but now the fancy dress required for the imperial concubine's banquet is even more unbearable for her.

Not only was her body strangled to the point of being out of breath in order to highlight her waist, but the various headgear on her hair weighed more than ten catties. Tong Shaozhuo suspected that Aunt Qi had disliked her for a long time and wanted to take the opportunity Break her neck.

I heard that there are countless delicious food and drinks at the imperial concubine's banquet. Does she want to dress like this to eat and drink?

Don't talk about drinking too much, you can't even eat a bean sprout after being strangled, okay?

Jin Lan and Zi Su looked at Tong Shaozhuo's new look with makeup on, and were astonished: "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful! This figure, this look... Your Majesty will definitely like it!"

"Is that so..." Speaking of Wei Xi, Tong Shaozhuo's anxiety just now was quickly suppressed.

These days the Son of Heaven comes to Fenghua Palace to accompany her every night.

Although she hadn't gone to bed yet, the emperor never forced her.

Knowing that her back injury is always painful, I specially found a special ointment to apply to her, without the slightest posture of a ninety-five master.

Even though Tong Shaozhuo slept very dishonestly and always kicked Wei Xiyu up in his deep sleep, she never really got angry.

But later, Tong Shaozhuo reflected on it. Sister Wei treated her with such "respect as a guest", probably because she was not interested in her...

Does elder sister Wei like Xiaojiaoniang?

Tong Shaozhuo glanced at herself in the mirror at this moment - her eyes were full of smiles and her lips were half-opened. This stranger even moved her a little bit.

This appearance can probably be called a beautiful girl.

Tong Shaozhuo became interested.

I don't know what it will look like when the emperor sees it in a while.

In a good mood, without feeling overwhelmed, Tong Shaozhuo got on the chariot and headed towards the carriage at the gate of the palace.

But at a crossroads, he met Concubine Lan's guard of honor.

The two groups of people met each other, neither giving way, and no one could get through for a while.

"Step aside!"

Concubine Lan's maidservant stood in front of the chariot and said viciously, "Whose ceremonial guard did you not see?"

Jin Lan has been educated by Tong Shaozhuo these days, and has become a lot more rigid, and took up the other party's words: "I see, the guard of honor of Concubine Lan. But even if it is the guard of honor of Concubine Lan, she is also a noble concubine, why should we let?"

"Presumptuous! What do you mean, our Concubine Lan will let you live first?"

Jin Lan has been bullied by this maid since she entered the palace. She took her to wash the room in the middle of the winter. She couldn't feel her fingers after washing, and because a piece of clothing was not washed clean, she was called by this maid. More than a dozen of them were beaten up in their sleep, and then she was asked to wash the bucket.

Jin Lan gritted her teeth and survived that period of humiliation, and will never forget it for the rest of her life.

Now Concubine Tong Gui told her that if she is weak, she will be bullied. She has to be strong and stand up straight, so that others' fists may not hit her.

Jin Lan looked directly at the other party, without the slightest intention of giving in: "Noble Concubine Lan let us pass first, why not?"

"you!"

Concubine Lan sneered in the carriage: "It can be seen that the entire Fenghua Palace has been trained to be rough and barbaric by Concubine Tong, if that muddy pig scabies a dog. I don't know if all these rural women are like this. The Imperial Palace is like his own village head, and he is calling out indiscriminately."

Concubine Lan's extremely contemptuous words drew a burst of ridicule.

Originally, this place is the main road of the harem, whether you want to go in or out or go to the palaces and gardens, you have to pass through it.

The carriages of the two noble concubines are blocked here, and no one can pass.

Everyone knows that the families behind the two noble concubines, Lan Tong, are fighting in the court hall, and even in the harem, and now they are finally confronting each other head-on. Concubine Lan made a sarcasm, and swords were on the verge of breaking out, fearing that there would be a good show coming soon.

If you can't walk, you can't walk anymore, and everyone is not in a hurry to leave. They all gather around quietly, excited, watching what will happen next.

Tong Shaozhuo was still thinking at first, if it wasn't for Jin Lan who had been bullied by Concubine Lan's people everywhere, it would be okay to give way, after all, it's just a way, and there will be no loss of meat.

Concubine Ke Lan spoke rudely, and her words seemed to mock her family, so Tong Shaozhuo turned his eyes to Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan's maidservants immediately followed after hearing her master's opening, mocking Tong Shaozhuo's family background all the way to her misbehavior in the palace.

This kind of bickering is very common in the harem. In order to compete for favor, the concubines often have a lot of yin and yang.It depends on who gets embarrassed in the end, and whoever gets angry will go away.

Furthermore, Concubine Lan has been arrogant and domineering in the harem for many years, and she has never met an opponent. Naturally, they did not expect that the tough guy on the other side would do something that they would regret.

Tong Shaozhuo picked out his ears and made people put down the chariot.

When she stepped out of the chariot, the ridicule on the other side disappeared.

Tong Shaozhuo put his hands in the back enough, and untied the girdle that strangled her uncomfortable.

Click, click.

She stared at Lan Yurong, walking towards her carriage, while tilting her neck.

Every time it moves its neck, it makes an extremely terrifying sound.

Click, click.

When moving the fingers, there is the same sound.

Lan Yurong's stern and proud face just now became faintly flustered as Tong Shaozhuo approached.

"Presumptuous! How dare you go one step further..."

Concubine Lan's maid, who was standing at the front of the guard of honor, stood in the way, trying to stop Tong Shaozhuo's footsteps.

With five fingers, Tong Shaozhuo directly clasped the opponent's Tianling Cap.

Maid: "?"

Tong Shaozhuo was half a head taller than the maidservant, swung his arm sideways, and threw the maidservant several steps away.

Everyone let out a low cry, and Lan Yurong's face turned pale.

"It's boring to say something useless, Lan Yurong." Tong Shaozhuo picked up the long skirt that stretched the floor and tied it with a knot to make it easier to move. "Come down."

Lan Yurong: "..."

"I'm tired of listening to you standing there all day long. Let's go heads-up and I'll give you ten tricks. If you beat me, don't say give way to you in the future. When I see you, I'll kneel on the ground and let you step on it." Either way. How about you, same."

Lan Yurong couldn't believe what this woman was saying.

What heads-up!

Who wants to single out with you!That's something only Tian Fuye would do!

Lan Yurong looked at Tong Shaozhuo nervously.

Although today's dress has tried her best to make her look soft, her eyes are clearly like a leopard that eats people.

Tong Shaozhuo waited for a while: "Not coming down?"

Immediately stride forward.

Concubine Lan's attendants naturally wanted to protect the lord, and as soon as they moved, they heard Tong Shaozhuo shout: "Set up the formation!"

Everyone: "???"

The palace servants of Fenghua Palace immediately blocked up, deployed a well-trained formation, and immediately protected Tong Shaozhuo to the center of the circle, with wooden sticks in their hands, so that no one could get close to Tong Shaozhuo's body.

More and more people watched the excitement, and the concubines and maidservants couldn't believe that this Tong Guifei was so powerful.

No one could stop her, Tong Shaozhuo walked towards Lan Yurong step by step: "Come down for me."

Lan Yurong could hardly sit still: "You, if you dare to touch this palace..."

Tong Shaozhuo raised his leg to sweep, and kicked heavily the leg of the attendant who was carrying the chariot. The man knelt down with an ouch, and the chariot leaned forward. Lan Yurong rolled down from the chariot with a scream. Get down on the ground.

If she hadn't supported the ground with both hands in time, I'm afraid this fall would definitely be a shit in front of everyone.

Seeing Tong Shaozhuo's vigorous and heroic posture, the concubines and maidservants quickly held each other's hands.

what--

Concubine Tong Gui is too handsome.

Tong Shaozhuo held Lan Yurong by the back collar, lifted her up like a muscovy duck, stretched out his hand, and directly stuck her head in one arm, at his waist.

Lan Yurong couldn't stand upright at all, and was forced to bend over and was held hostage by her.

This posture is as if Lan Yurong's head is not his head, but the helmet that Tong Shaozhuo just took off.

"Are you crazy……"

Lan Yurong was dressed in fancy clothes, but her head was clamped like this, her face was unbelievable, she was extremely ashamed, her whole body was trembling, "How dare you treat me like this..."

"Why don't you dare?" Tong Shaozhuo found it funny, "You are a noble concubine and I am also a noble concubine. Could it be that your Concubine Lan is more expensive than my Concubine Tong?"

She patted Lan Yurong's fair face with the back of her hand: "How dare you provoke trouble with this ability?"

Lan Yurong: "..."

The string of reason broke, Lan Yurong yelled to break free from Tong Shaozhuo's shackles, and raised her arm to scratch her.

However, Tong Shaozhuo's arm was like cast iron, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake it a little bit, let alone scratch someone.

Tong Shaozhuo cooperated with Lan Yurong's crazy footsteps, and Lan Yurong's dignified bun was twisted in front of her eyes under her own struggle. No matter how much she screamed, wailed, and furious, Tong Shaozhuo would not let her go.

All the ugliness.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Wei Xi watched from a distance for an unknown amount of time.

"Hey, Your Majesty, look at this..." The servant was so startled by the scene in front of him that he didn't know what to say.

Wei Xi said, "Take the left road."

The servant understands that the emperor doesn't want to disturb the dispute about entering the harem, out of sight and out of mind.

Wei Xi smiled all the way: "The stone steps go up to the left, there is no cover, so you can see more clearly."

Waiter: "..."
