Chapter 17 Spring Banquet

When the snow melted, it got colder.

Xiao Lianzi walked around the palace wearing a mink velvet and black silk jacket bestowed by the emperor. It can be said that he stole the limelight. The mink fur that the Beilou Kingdom paid tribute to was only one piece, which was extremely precious. It was presented to the emperor by the Beilou Kingdom. For making winter clothes, the emperor rewarded a eunuch from the front of the Eighth Grade Hall, which is simply unheard of and unseen.

Before the end of winter, Xue Jing finally went to Tai'an Palace.

Xue Jing didn't mention anything about Xiao Lianzi Qian Dong, and Concubine Chen's heart was finally relieved, and because of this, she felt that what Dong Xue said was correct.

Concubine Chen dressed up meticulously, and was comforted and rewarded by Xue Jing, so she didn't care about all the previous things, but Xue Jing didn't touch her that night, which made her a little concerned. Strange, I asked the eminent monk of Senguang Temple to do a fortune telling for me, the divination showed that Xue Jing was not allowed to have sex with men and women for two years, even though he stayed overnight in Fanghua Palace before, he had never touched Concubine De.

This was of course made up by Xue Jing. He neither suffered from a cold nor asked an eminent monk to tell his fortune. He has experienced all kinds of things in his previous life, and his great career has not been accomplished. He has no interest in the love between men and women, so he uses this as an excuse.

But Concubine Chen believed it, she sent a message to the Right Prime Minister's mansion, saying that everything was as usual, and Prime Minister Right was very skeptical of the emperor's every move, but worried that she was worrying about nothing, so she felt relieved after getting Concubine Chen's letter , and soon it will be Chunwei. At this juncture, he doesn't want anything to go wrong.

The cold winter passed quickly, Xiao Lianzi was still wearing a jacket, and was on duty in Changhuan Palace, sweating from the heat.

Xue Jing asked him with a smile: "Why don't you change your clothes when it's hot? Do you just like this jacket so much?"

Xiao Lianzi kept complaining: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to change. I lost my spring clothes. I only have four clothes in total. If I lose my spring clothes, I have nothing to change." Among the four clothes, Two of them were given to him by Xue Jing.

Xue Jing smiled back, and said seriously: "Why didn't you say earlier, you go to the Department of Yisi to make six pieces of clothes, just say it's my will."

Xiao Lianzi was overjoyed but waved his hand pretendingly on the face and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need so many coats. Two coats are enough for the slave to change and wear, and the emperor has already rewarded the slave with two winter clothes!"

Xue Jing said: "If you want, make four summer clothes, and make two more for spring and autumn."

So Xiao Lianzi no longer refused, happily accepted the order, and went to the Department of Yisi.

Looking at Xiao Lianzi's brisk and joyful back, Xue Jing shook his head, thinking, he is still a child at heart!

Director Zhou of the Department of Clothes is no stranger to Xiao Lianzi. After doing the math, Xiao Lianzi has come here three times, once to pick up winter clothes from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, once to measure the size, and once to come Take a velvet jacket.

Director Zhou knew it well, even though this father-in-law Lian was young, he was probably the emperor's favorite besides Mr. Xu.Director Xu is going to retire and return to his hometown in a few years, as long as his father-in-law doesn't touch Longwei, he will most likely be the head of the eunuch.

Zhou Zhangsi greeted Xiao Lianzi with a smile: "Why is Eunuch Lian coming here in free time, isn't he on duty today?"

Xiao Lianzi really likes this aunt who is as kind as an elder, and he said embarrassedly: "Zhou Zhangsi, the emperor ordered Si Yisi to make six sets of clothes for our family, four sets of summer clothes, and one set of spring clothes." Qiufu, I’m sorry to trouble you!”

"No trouble, no trouble!" Director Zhou said so, but he was calculating the construction period in his heart. Since there is an order from the emperor, even the father-in-law's clothes must be made quickly.

The department of clothing and the spring clothes of the empresses in the palaces are rushing to work. After Zhou Zhangsi takes over this job, he will first make the spring clothes of Concubine Chen, Concubine De, and Xu Zhaoyi, and then start to make six sets of clothes for Xiao Lianzi. Dudu put Wang Meiren's spring clothes at the end.When Wang Meiren's maid of honor came to pick up the clothes, she realized that the clothes were not ready yet.

"Master Zhou, what's going on? Can my beauty wait for a few days to wear it for the spring banquet?"

Director Zhou said in embarrassment: "The emperor ordered us to hurry up and make Eunuch Lian's spring clothes. Our people miscalculated the construction period, which caused the delay. Just go back and tell your beauty the truth!"

"What!" Meiren Wang was clutching her handkerchief, and in a panic, she threw the teacup out of her hand, hitting the maid's forehead. I yelled, I'm afraid this life will be gone.

"Okay! The people from Siyisi bullied me without the support of my family, so they insulted me like this!" Wang Meiren said angrily and threw a teacup on the maid.

"The Si Yisi people look down on me, even a eunuch dares to press on my head!" Wang Meiren yelled loudly, the door of the room was closed tightly, she was not afraid of being heard.

When Wang Meiren's anger subsided a little, the maid said: "Beauty, be careful! That's not an ordinary eunuch. Outside, you must not say anything about him like this." With such a master, he can only do his best to save his own life.

"What?" Wang Meiren sneered, "Am I even a eunuch?"

"Beauties don't know, this Eunuch Lian is the most admired by the emperor recently. There are rumors in the palace that he will be the chief eunuch in the future! Some time ago, the emperor rewarded this company with the mink fur that the North Sniper Lou Kingdom paid tribute to." Father-in-law!"

Wang Meiren didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were fierce: "Even a eunuch is favored more than me, it's ridiculous, laughing at me is too pathetic!"

On the day of the Spring Banquet, the palace was extremely lively. Officials above the third rank were in the imperial garden, and concubines were in the second floor of Yihua Building in the southwest corner of the imperial garden.

It has been less than two years since Xue Jing ascended the throne, and there are only four concubines in the harem. Concubine Chen wears a five-phoenix bun with an amethyst imperial phoenix hairpin, and a gold silk flowing cloud coat with a bright red satin embroidered double-breasted long skirt. ostentatiously.

In comparison, the other three concubines are much more elegant, but they also secretly compete with each other unwilling to admit defeat.

Concubine De revealed half of her plum-blossom skirt with gold and silver threads, and her knees were covered by a plum-pattern gauze gown. Some kind of rouge and gouache were applied on it, and the fragrance of plum blossoms exuded from her gestures and movements. Xu Zhaoyi was wearing a water-blue crepe Ruyi gown. It's strange, but on the head is a moon bun, and there are more than ten pieces of hairpins decorated with light beads.

Except for Wang Meiren, she was not only wearing last year's clothes, but also had her hair in a simple bun. As for jewelry, it was even harder to compare with Xu Zhaoyi.

Concubine Chen, Xu Zhaoyi and Meiren Wang were elected to the palace together. Concubine Chen and Concubine De Sulai had a bad relationship. The emperor was not around, so they didn't bother to do superficial work, and they didn't even make eye contact with each other.On the contrary, Xu Zhaoyi, chatting on the left and right, can say a few words to each of them.

"My sister is so beautiful today. These are the clothes that Si Yisi made for my sister. They are really beautiful!" Xu Zhaoyi said to Wang Meiren without knowing the inside story.

In Wang Meiren's heart, these words seemed to be satirizing her, she felt ashamed, and followed Xu Zhaoyi's words with a pale face.After sitting down for a cup of tea, he felt depressed and couldn't sit still any longer, so he hurriedly left Yihua Building on the pretext of going to the toilet to get some air.

In the imperial garden not far downstairs, Xue Jing sat at the head of the officials. The closest to him were the left and right prime ministers, and next to the left prime minister was Qin Taiwei, and all the officials below were in important positions.

In such a scene, Xiao Lianzi's identity could only stand obediently among the eunuchs, watching the delicacies served by the palace maids, and kept swallowing.

The attendant at the door bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is favorable today, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, Guanhe is peaceful, and the world is peaceful. It all depends on the majesty of the emperor, who responds to the will of heaven and obeys the hearts of the people. Only then can there be such a peaceful and prosperous world!"

After speaking, all the courtiers greeted him one after another, only Zhang Jian, the left minister, held the wine glass and remained silent.

Xue Jing laughed in his heart, these people can talk nonsense without changing their faces, they really have the courage, but the foundation of deceiving me is not stable, they are all shameless people who flatter and deceive others!

After a burst of laughter, the ministers talked about the national event that occurs every three years, Chun Wei.

Xue Jing said with a smile on his face: "This time, the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for all the spring, and the right minister will supervise me, so I can feel at ease!"

When Guan Shaoweng saw that Xue Jing entrusted Chun Wei to his supervision, combined with the news from Concubine Chen before, it was considered that he completely let go of his doubts about Xue Jing.

Xu Guang was by Xue Jing's side, seeing that the emperor didn't move his chopsticks much, instead he glanced at the group of eunuchs not far away from time to time. Xu Guang knew that Xiao Lianzi was standing in that direction, so he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

Beauty mistaken the emperor!

Xue Jing was indeed looking at Xiao Lianzi. Under the winter jasmine, the bright yellow sea of ​​flowers set off the fair skin of the little eunuch. He could only stand and watch but couldn't eat. His small movements of swallowing and drooling while watching were very vivid. , the picture is so beautiful that the corners of Xue Jing's mouth can't help but rise.
