Chapter 1175: Lantern Festival Palace

Only now, everything seems to have changed in a subtle way.
At this moment, Concubine Xi smiled and joked: "Is the imperial concubine empress having a bad appetite, or the dim sum of the queen empress does not suit your taste? Otherwise, why would the concubine empress just not eat a bite? taste."
"Who said my palace didn't eat it, just eat less." Yu Guifei said, holding a piece of pastry, and taking a sip with her hand covering it.
When she put the pastry on the plate again, the pastry was missing a small corner.
However, she was teased by Concubine Xi on the side.
"If you want to say that the imperial concubine is worthy of coming out of the big family, eating is more reserved, just like a kitten, not like us, big mouthful."
"In my opinion, the imperial concubine lady specified that she would not dare to eat the queen's meal, otherwise she would pinch all of it to the ground with a small bite, and didn't enter her mouth at all."
Concubine Qi is a straight-tempered, so she immediately clarified the euphemism in Concubine Xi's words.
Compared with Concubine Xi's secretly poking things.
She prefers to do things on the face.
For a moment, everyone looked at Concubine Yu.
I saw a small piece of light green pastry at the feet of Concubine Yugui.
It was the cake she had just picked up with a small bite.
If there is no such thing, Ruoyin would not care.
Hearing what Qi Concubine said, she also saw a small piece of cake on the ground by Concubine Yu.
At the same time, she raised her head to pay attention to Concubine Yu.
One winter passed, Yugui Concubine looked much rounder.
In the words here, it is a little blessed.
To say that the imperial concubine Yu originally combined the plumpness of Manchu women with the style of Jiangnan women.
So now, she seems to show the fullness of Manchu women to the fullest.
The facial features are still as refined as before.
It's just that his face is much rounder than before.
Because I got a little fatter, that face was still full of collagen.
In addition, I wear a lot of winter clothes, which is a little bloated.
However, a person has a good foundation, even if he gets a little fatter, he is still a Tang Dynasty stunner.
As early as last year, Ruo Yin heard that Concubine Yu Gui had been recovering her body in order to be pregnant again.
It is estimated that I have eaten a lot of supplements to replenish the soup, so this is the reason.
However, like the situation just now, with the status and confidence of Concubine Yu, Concubine Xi would not have been led by the nose.
This should be kept in the ordinary, Yugui concubine will not eat if she does not eat.
It's impossible for Concubine Xi to say it, she will mean something.
Obviously I didn't dare to eat the food here, so I pretended to eat it before getting it to the ground.
There is something wrong with everything.
If the sound is not clear for a while, why Yugui concubine wants to do this.
Concubine Yu, seeing that everyone was looking at her, didn't pretend.
She raised her head and faced everyone's eyes.
"My palace just can't get used to this pastry, what's the matter? It's up to you, as to stare at them all. You have the time to take care of this trivial matter in this palace. Why not worry about this year's draft." Yu The imperial concubine's mind turned quickly, and the subject changed suddenly.
There was also a broken jar in his tone.
After her reminder, all the harem eyes widened.
Yeah, it's time for the three-year draft, and it's time for new players in the palace!
Even Ruoyin was successfully transferred by Concubine Yu.
As for Concubine Yu's inability to eat pastries, she had long been left behind.
"Yes, there is a draft this year. I remember that in previous years, the drafts started in the beginning of the spring. Doesn't this mean that the general election for the show will be held in a few months." Qi Fei screamed and turned to ask Yu Guifei : "Is it right? Concubine Yu, you came in when the spring started."
Concubine Yu held her lips and replied at will: "Yes, this palace was selected as a show girl in March three years ago and entered the emperor's hidden residence."
Speaking of this, she was a little bit overwhelmed.
It has been three years and she has got nothing and lost three children, which is really sad.
Time also developed her in the direction she hated.
"March, now is the first month. Isn't it about two months before the draft is about to start." Qi Fei said.
After listening to the harem concubine, they looked at their noses and hearts one by one, as if they had their own thoughts.
But they don't know the exact time, so they are a little confused.
At this moment, it's like the original happy New Year.
Suddenly he was struck by a mallet to make him unhappy.
"Um... Empress, did the emperor tell you when this year's draft will start." Qi Fei asked tentatively with a smile on her face.
Ruoyin shook his head and replied: "This palace only knows once every three years. As for the exact time, that's not necessarily. Because the time recorded in the pamphlet in the palace is mostly unfixed. There are March and July and August. Around. Sometimes it starts in the first half of the year, and sometimes it's only in the second half."
"You really don't know?" Qi Fei asked incredulously.
How can you say that the queen is the head of the harem, and this kind of draft is definitely important to participate in.
If it really started in less than two months, she would not believe that the queen had no idea.
Could it be that the queen made some secret ideas and deliberately kept them secret.
When the time comes, the draft is suddenly notified, they can't do anything.
Because many "old people" in the harem are not favored, everyone is looking for a way out.
I didn't want to bring the little sisters from the family into the palace as companions.
It is to fancy a newcomer in private and slowly cultivate a new force in the harem.
It is also good to make plans for the future.
"My palace really doesn't know it." Ruoyin said earnestly: "This kind of thing was originally meant to report to the emperor, and the emperor would issue a decree to the Eight Banners to rule the Yamen. The Eight Banners grassroots officials at all levels will flower girls of the right age. The roster was submitted. Only after this, the date was selected, but the palace did not hear such wind, did you hear it?"
The harem concubine shook her head.
Indeed, if there was such a thing, it would have been spread in the palace.
But they did not hear a trace of wind.
"That's not it. The Ministry of Households didn't report it. How did this palace know." Ruoyin took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Wait, if it's really early spring, there will be a draft girl. I want to have the Lantern Festival. There will be wind in the festival."
After hearing Ruoyin's words, everyone believed that she really didn't know.
Now that the topic of drafting is dead, Qi Fei turned the topic to Yugui Concubine.
She smiled and said, "Let me tell you that Concubine Yu's complexion is so good today, and she's more blessed to see."
While speaking, a pair of eyes looked at Concubine Yugui.
Concubine Xi echoed: "The concubine Yu, the concubine of the family, is a happy event and the spirit is refreshing. The generals are promoted steadily, and they are promoted and raised, and the flag is raised. The mood is good, the appetite is also good, the appetite is good, no Be blessed."
"That's natural." Concubine Yu's chin was slightly raised, and she complimented.
Ruoyin raised her head and glanced at the flower, bird and insect clock in the room, seeing that it was almost time, she didn't have the time to listen to their gossip.
He found a cause and sent them all away.
In the following days, Si Ye seemed to be very busy and never stepped into the harem.
Until the Lantern Festival, Ruoyin saw him at the Palace Lantern Festival.
