Chapter 830: Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet

Two days later, it will be the Queen Mother’s birthday. The people in the palace have already started decorating and decorating for the Queen Mother’s birthday, and many concubines practice singing, dancing and poetry in private, just to be on the Queen Mother’s birthday. , Showing his skills, looking forward to seizing the opportunity to win the favor of the emperor. Even if not, it is very good to make the Queen Mother happy and win her favor!
Therefore, a crowd of people racked their brains and practiced day and night. What's more, they felt that they were too plump, and the newly tailored clothes couldn't make you feel that bright. So, each The concubines in the palace tried their best to go on a diet to lose weight. Several concubines fainted starvingly before they lost weight.
For a time, not only the imperial concubines, but also the imperial maids and eunuchs were busy, and even the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were busy going up and down. The whole palace was filled with a busy and lively atmosphere.
The same is true of Du Xuechun's Yikun Palace, but Du Xuechun is not in a hurry, doing things unhurriedly and leisurely, which makes Mingying following Du Xuechun anxious.
"Niangniang, hurry up, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a message that there are still many things in the treasury. Niangniang, you need to check and count them personally, so that after a panic, it will appear at the birthday banquet of the empress dowager. What's wrong, it won't be easy to explain to the emperor then."
When she got up early in the morning, Mingying hurriedly freshened up for Du Xuechun. However, Du Xuechun was slow and indifferent. Mingying felt that her eyebrows were about to burn, but Du Xuechun was still not in a hurry. Obviously he didn't know, this was the first time Du Xuechun urged him to hurry up.
"What's the hurry? Are all those things ready? When I'm done, I'll go and see."
I saw Du Xuechun slowly opened the drawer in front of the dressing table and took out a golden phoenix hairpin studded with purple gemstones. Du Xuechun took a photo in front of the bronze mirror and tried to insert it into her hair bun and found the color It was not suitable, so he slowly put it back in the drawer.
Mingying felt helpless in every possible way, but she had no choice but to stand quietly behind Du Xuechun and wait obediently. After a while, Du Xuechun finally chose a rose-red hairpin and slowly inserted it into his hair bun. Then he nodded with satisfaction, stood up from the position, turned around, and put on his robe , And took Mingying to the outside of the hall.
For the first time, Mingying saw Du Xuechun being so unhurried or slow, she had a hundred doubts in her heart, but she didn't know how to ask, and finally she had to swallow the words that came close to her mouth abruptly.
"How? Mingying, do you think I am very strange today, right?" Du Xuechun, who was walking towards the Internal Affairs Office, turned around and looked at Mingying on one side. Du Xuechun saw Mingying want to say something again. He couldn't help but laughed out of the way he looked like, and asked jokingly.
"Mother, don't scare the servants. This is a big event for the Queen Mother's birthday. If you don't arrange it, you can get gossip, but you can't be as leisurely and contented as you are now, and don't care about anything."
Seeing this, Mingying was very helpless, and almost burst into tears by Du Xuechun on the spot. Mingying stomped her foot and said hurriedly.
"I know that your child cares about me, but you don't want to think about it. A few days ago, the empress dowager had spoken early, saying that all the birthday banquets were arranged by Concubine Xuan, and my queen, What was said on the bright side is nice, but what can I care about now? It's just a false title.
Since her empress dowager likes Concubine Xuan's arrangements so much, it's up to Concubine Xuan to arrange it. Why don't we put it aside, you must not do things that the emperor is not in a hurry or the is in hurry. "
Du Xuechun looked indifferent and waved his hand. To be honest, she really didn't have any interest in this birthday banquet, no matter who was assigned to arrange and manage it, it was the same to her.
Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is sending a message, saying that there are many things in the treasury that need to be counted. It's just that she is looking at her as a palace and is afraid that she will not be able to go to the face. Concubine Xuan counted and inspected it, and it was just a cutscene, so why bother?
Naturally, Mingying knew what Du Xuechun was thinking, and couldn’t help fighting the injustice for Du Xuechun. She only felt that this incident was very unfair to Du Xuechun, but the protagonist of this birthday banquet is the queen mother. It is not easy to intervene, even if the emperor comes up, there is no other reason to refuse.
Mingying thought that Du Xuechun was wronged in her heart, and that's why she was so lazy to do things. She couldn't help but cast a comforting and compassionate look at Du Xuechun. Du Xuechun stared at him with a strange expression.
"This...Look at this girl's expression, is it pitying me?" Du Xuechun murmured in her heart, finally turning her head to one place and not looking at Mingying's appearance, but she always felt something strange.
"Mingying, can you not look at me like this? You look at me like this, making my scalp numb."
Du Xuechun sighed softly, turned around, and smiled at Mingying.
Mingying shook her head blankly, and asked, "Manny, what's the matter with you, why do you have a tingling scalp? Is it just because the maidservant is looking at you? Shouldn't it, should I ask the maidservant to call the imperial doctor? ?"
Mingying's series of questions made Du Xuechun dumbfounded, especially since the girl was still at a loss, not knowing what happened, and simply like a good baby, so Du Xuechun didn't know what to do.
"I have no physical discomfort, you don't have to worry about it. You keep looking at me like this, it makes me very uncomfortable."
Du Xuechun knew that to talk to Mingying with those twists and turns, it was better to tell her straightforwardly. It was better than her crazy thinking, and finally thought that something bad had happened, and was anxious to get angry.
"Okay, Niang Niang, I see." Mingying nodded obediently, and looked at Du Xuechun with some embarrassment in her eyes.
After Du Xuechun and Mingying came to the treasury of the House of Internal Affairs, because Du Xuechun was still the empress empress, they were very popular with the emperor.
Therefore, the people in the House of Internal Affairs were not too slack in their attitude towards Du Xuechun, and they were still eagerly busying and pouring tea for Du Xuechun.
It made Du Xuechun very uncomfortable, and waved his hands to refuse, saying that he didn't need so much courtesy, but the others still brought the tea up as usual. Arranged for Du Xuechun to sit on a chair and ask others to lift up the things in the mansion house one by one, saving Du Xuechun from the hard work of taking another trip.
When Du Xuechun saw this, since they needed to do this, Du Xuechun didn't refuse. After a while, the large boxes, one by one, were lifted up by the eunuchs and placed in front of Du Xuechun.
"Queen Empress, please look forward to it. These boxes contain the things needed for this empress dowager banquet. Oh, yes, this is the account book for this birthday banquet. Empress Empress, you You have to take a good look."
The head of the House of Internal Affairs eagerly walked up to Du Xuechun and handed the little blue sheet in his hand to Du Xuechun's hand. Du Xuechun took it over and checked it carefully.
Immediately, Du Xuechun stood up, ordered someone to open the mouthful of the red box, bent over, and carefully checked it out by himself. After checking, Du Xuechun confirmed that the things recorded in the account books did not differ from the things stored in the box.
Du Xuechun then passed the account book in his hand to Mingying's hand, letting Mingying check it again for himself. After Mingying checked, she stood up and nodded to Du Xuechun. The entire inventory process ended so smoothly, it made Du Xuechun feel so unbelievable, and always felt that something was wrong, but it couldn't be said.
