Vol 2 Chapter 85: Three women, a good show

In the midsummer of July, the sky is clear and the clouds are not stained. +++ The latest ranking of Tanmei novels: www.sto123.cc.com o The blooming season is strong this season, and the imperial garden is full of fragrance and beautiful.
In the spacious pavilion beside the koi pool, a long table is set up early in the morning, on which incense and refreshments are all exquisite.
When the hour came, the harem beauties gathered around the table in order.
Where there are many women, intrigue and controversy are not rare. Concubine Xu walked into the pavilion with a high-pitched voice, and after paying respects to Princess Wan, she met the concubines.
Gu Yunxi nodded behind Concubine Xu's seat respectfully, and glanced at the long table.
Except for three of those young women with beautiful faces, she recognized them, but the others were eye-catching.
These three persons are Princess Wan, Yunjin Gu, and Sun Shengsheng who entered the palace at the same time as Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunjin's situation was very different from a year ago. After Minglan's advice, Gu Yunjin seized the opportunity and successfully attracted the attention of Emperor Xiao. He has been favored many times, and now he has been promoted from a talented person to Jieyu.
I saw that she was wearing a spring peach-colored scattered flower cloud shirt, a pleated skirt with flowers on the floor, a flying fairy hair bun on her head, and a cluster of hairpins and flowers, with a bright and beautiful appearance.
Sun Shengsheng's seat is next to Gu Yunjin. She was honored to be invited to see the imperial concubine when she was newly promoted to the palace and celebrate her daughter meeting with everyone in the harem.
Today, she deliberately got up early, carefully groomed and dressed up.
She is dressed in a red silk hibiscus silk dress with a water-printed eight-treasure dress, and a blue silk is combed into a wishful updo, with a lot of hairpins embellished by the ring.
The expensive Bixue Hanfang swayed its long tassels by the temples. Between the swings, three bunches of golden thread and rice beads were shining brightly, lining Zhang Jiao's face like the autumn moon, really looking forward to the beauty and style.
The imperial concubine Wan Yuyao sits at the main seat of the long table, with haze and red cloud patterns on the bead and brocade dress, underneath the skirt of green smoke and purple swimming scales, and a red jade drop bead on the side of the cross bun. Zansizhu flowers decorate it.
Seeing her beautiful and dignified appearance, her unmoving sitting posture was silently revealing the natural extravagance. The beautiful eyes are cold, and the eyebrows are long and thin, and the eyebrows are slightly picked into the temples. The pride of the eyes that comes with it makes people feel shuddering when they take a look.
After seeing the three of them, Gu Yunxi looked at the seats carefully for two more times, but did not find Gu Yunyao and her palace servants. There was only one chair at the table, and he was surprised.
This is strange, how could Yu Zhaoyi not come on such an important day?
Could it be that sister she...
In an uncertain guess, Jinzhu had already handed the food box to Lihu, the concubine in charge of Wanhuang.
"Sister, this is the cheesecake in your palace? How is it different from the one you gave to this palace last time?"
Wan Yuyao's question came in her ears, and her expression was a bit sharp in the melancholy. Net o
Anyone can hear that the sharp ending has brought out a full of unhappy emotions.
There was immediately a whisper during the dinner:
"Yeah, what is this?"
"It looks fresh from the look, but the dim sum is not like dim sum, and nuo tuan is not nuo tuan..."
"Don't make the empress become angry, otherwise we will have a good show, hehe..."
When Gu Yunxi heard it, he hurriedly gathered his wandering thoughts, and quietly cast his eyes on Concubine Xu.
She got up methodically, and Wei Zuofu said lightly behind her:
"I don't know the empress, this ice product is called'Sushan', it's not pastries such as butter and pastry.
The concubine thought that the empress likes to eat cheese, but it was July, when the summer was very hot, so the cheese was used as the main ingredient to make an ice product to present the empress to relieve the summer heat.
The empress has tasted it first, and if it doesn't match the taste, the concubine will call the palace people to remake the cheesecake. "
"Ice products?"
Wan Yuyao raised two curved eyebrows, and her sullen eyes swept towards the soft, vertical peaks on the lotus leaf disc.
No matter how you look at it, judging by her Wan Yuyao's eyes, this peculiar appearance cannot be compared to the few desserts on the long table.
Wan Yuyao was puzzled at the moment, and she secretly wondered how to say that Concubine Xu was a delicate-minded person, and Su Rili was also cautious about her imperial concubine. Today, I won't be so careless, deliberately offering some unpopular snacks to fool her.
No matter, Mo Ruo has tried it. The taste was really bad, so I asked my palace to take her handle, but he could make any move to make things difficult for her.
Thinking of the past several times of secretly sabotaging, but failed to prevent Xu Fei from giving birth to Lin'er, Wan Yuyao always broods about this matter.
The fact that Xu Fei offered ice products today just helped her Wan Yuyao have a handle on Xu Fei.
"After hearing what my sister said, my palace came to taste this crisp mountain."
When Wan Yuyao finished speaking, Lihu, the lady in charge, stepped to the table, took a jade bowl spoon and dug a spoon from Sushan, and put it into the jade bowl together with the bright red cherries, and put it carefully on Wanyu. Yao is at hand.
In the pavilion, there was no sound, and several eyes were watching Wan Yuyao's every movement, and all the concubines were curious and inquiring.
As for Gu Yunxi and Concubine Xu, at this moment, they are more nervous than them.
Everyone knows that Princess Wan is an uncertain temper, but she doesn't know what kind of expression she will change if she tastes this crisp mountain.
Wan Yuyao lazily squeezed the handle of the spoon, and sent a little soft mountain into her mouth, her lips moved, and then she swallowed. Net o
The careless expression on Taohua's face instantly froze, and there was no change for a while.
The concubines were astonished, and someone who couldn't bear it immediately whispered:
"Manny, how are you?"
"Isn't it eaten badly!"
Sun Shengsheng immediately agreed, lest the world will not be chaotic.
Several concubines' comments made Li Hu lose his mind on the spot, bending down to look at Wan Yuyao, who was looking stagnant, and shouted in panic:
"Manny..."
Concubine Xu paled in shock, her heart undulating, and thin sweat formed on her white forehead.
Standing behind Gu Yunxi, already unable to control the rules of the palace, he raised his eyes to Wan Yuyao in panic.
Just when everyone was in a hurry, Wan Yuyao slapped the case fiercely, quickly praising:
"Okay, it's a good thing! The milk is crispy and sweet, and the entrance is refreshing. It's really delicious! Sister Xu, there are so many fresh things in your palace!"
All the concubines were stunned, but Concubine Xu got up from her seat again, lightly a blessing, and secretly relieved.
"The empress is absurd. In the hot season, the empress will have to do everything for the harem for the daughter's meeting. The concubine can offer a piece of ice to help her resist the heat. Concubine only wants her to like it. It's good to eat rough food."
"Where, hurry up and sit down."
Wan Yuyao was really happy to eat this time, the amazing light in the water flickered frequently, and she praised Xu Fei repeatedly:
"I want to come to the company’s restaurant to produce the ice products every year. They are nothing more than mung bean paste and brine plum water. After eating for a long time, they are always tasteless. Sister Xu, the person in your palace is the most ingenious and able to make this. Here comes delicious and unique ice!"
Turning her eyes slightly, Wan Yuyao looked at Li Hu and said:
"Distribute this dish of Sushan to all the sisters, let's alleviate the heat together."
In response, Li Hu followed suit, and walked to the seats of each concubine, and put the spoons into their bowls one by one.
Because they were praised by the imperial concubine, the concubines looked at the ice in the bowl and agreed:
"Oh, this ice product is indeed exquisite! The white and tender look makes people appetite."
"It's delicious, it's really delicious, I'll still eat ice cream for the first time!"
They knew from beginning to end that Gong Wei's survival depends on standing in line. What Wanhuang concubine does, they just follow to do it, it is to show her determination to stand in her team to protect themselves.
Wan Yuyao calmly sips tea with a teacup in her hand, but her sharp eyes are looking at a table of whispering concubines, seeing them all smiling and charming.
There is no shortage of young and beautiful women in the harem. I think back then, I was as young and immature as they were, and I once collected three thousand favorites.
Now in the high position of glory, Yu Yanhong looks down at the cloud-like beauty, Yingying Yanyan, and there is a sense of endless Tao in his heart.
Li Hu returned to Wan Yuyao after sitting around the table for a week, nodding in a low voice:
"Hui Niangniang, the slave servants have assigned Sushan to the little masters, but at this hour, I haven't seen Xiao Yexuan's Yu Zhaoyi come."
Wan Yuyao's face suddenly sank, her eyes glowing like torches, and she glanced at the empty seat with a cold smile on her lips:
"After all, it is someone who has been favored by the emperor, and she is more delicate than ours. This sister Yu has been recuperating for almost half a year, and now she is not even attending the daughter's meeting hosted by the palace. It seems that she is seriously ill in this palace. Please don't move her."
Quietly all around.
Gu Yunxi's expression changed slightly, but because he was a subordinate, he didn't dare to say anything, so he clenched his slender jade hand into a fist and squeezed his sweat for Gu Yunyao secretly.
Her eyes flickered, she inadvertently saw Gu Yunjin's eyes cold, cold lips curled, and a faint smile was pulled out.
Next to her, Sun Shengsheng held his chest proudly and spoke eloquently:
"To say that Yu Zhaoyi is really uninteresting, the annual daughter meeting is also considered an important day in the palace. Anyway, I can't afford to climb, and a slave should be sent over to Bingming. If this is the case, I have to put my mother in. Land?"
She yelled loudly, causing the concubines to talk again:
"Yeah, it's too shameful!"
"This obviously doesn't put our damsel in the eyes!"
Gu Yunxi stood silently behind Concubine Xu, his eyes sternly swept across the faces in the room, trying to firmly engrave their ugly faces in his heart.
In the chaos, Sun Shengsheng ignored Wan Yuyao's increasingly gloomy face and looked at the neighbor Gu Yunjin.
To be honest, Sun Shengsheng didn't enter the palace for a long time, because his father was a second-rank official and had a prominent position. Although he was not called to be favored, he was granted the fourth-rank Jieyu as soon as he entered the palace.
Within a few days in the palace, Sun Shengsheng relied on the red envelopes to dredge around, and had inquired about the family background of the harem concubine.
She knew that Gu Yunjin, who was sitting next to her, was born in Gongyuan, and she was the righteous daughter in charge of Gongyuan when she was young. Only because he had been in the palace for a long time and used some unspeakable means to confuse the emperor, he climbed to the position of Jieyu today.
How can such a humble woman sit on the same level as her daughter of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?
Picking up a gloomy smile line, Sun Shengsheng turned his head to look at Gu Yunjin, and said:
"Jin Jieyu has the same surname as Yu Zhaoyi, and her boudoir name is only one word apart. It is said that you are both the daughters of the former head of the Gongyuan, and you have been sisters for more than ten years. Yu Zhaoyi is so arrogant and defiant, you As a younger sister, I knew her character, right?"
Sun Shengsheng's question is nothing but to remind everyone present that Yu Zhaoyi and Jin Jieyu who are absent are sisters. The elder sister was rude, and naturally the younger sister couldn't get rid of the relationship, so while attacking Gu Yunyao with words, she also wanted to drag Gu Yunjin into the water.
No matter how stupid Gu Yunjin was, he had been in the deep palace for two years. How could he not understand what Sun Shengsheng meant?
She immediately changed her face, her heart hung high, and her expression was extremely nervous, looking at the cold people present.
Quickly got up, Gu Yunjin gave a deep blessing to Wan Yuyao and said:
"Before entering the palace, although my concubine and Yu Zhaoyi were studying at the Gongyuan, they were taken in the name of the former chief, and they had no personal contacts.
My concubine had also heard that Yu Zhaoyi was not in good health for the past six months, and she had never been seen in the harem. As for why she was absent from the daughter's meeting today, the concubine really doesn't know, and she hopes that she will learn from her. "
Without waiting for Wan Yuyao to speak, Sun Shengsheng at the next head raised his voice again:
"What a good sister, you are clean!"
"you……"
Gu Yunjin was so embarrassed and angry that she was about to fight back when she was interrupted by Wan Yuyao's voice:
"Well, they are all my own sisters. Don't hurt your peace with such trivial matters. Since Yu Zhaoyi is inconvenienced, let her go."
Sun Shengsheng's expression was startled, he looked at Wan Yuyao on the subject in confusion, and immediately put on a bright smiling face:
"After all, it's the empress who is generous and doesn't care about people who are hypocritical."
After speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked around, looking forward to receiving Wan Yuyao's praise.
Although the imperial concubine is not the master of the east palace, the concubine is second only to the queen, taking care of the affairs of the sixth palace. It would be better if you could use today's incident to indulge in the Wanhuang imperial concubine.
The sharp color converged slightly, Wan Yuyao slowly lowered her eyes, holding the tea cup in her hand, and her white index finger gently stroked the rim of the gold cup.
The cold light burst out of her bright and Yan eyes, quietly gathering towards Sun Shengsheng's delicate and tender pink face, and then quietly wandering freely on the exquisite costumes all over her.
The same red brocade clothes, worn on young girls, are eye-catching...
This Governor Sun’s family is truly rich, not to mention the fiery red palace clothes that Sun Shengsheng wears on his head. It's no wonder that a charming beauty is used to nurturing a lot of willfulness and arrogance.
Such a face, such a temperament, such a sharp mouth, and such a non-stop wearing...
Wan Yuyao's eyes were dull and cold, and she let out a deep, cold snort between her nose.
The maid-in-hand saw the empress's gesture of turning the cup and knew that she was in anger, and silently observed the concubines present, waiting for the master's next command.
The long voice of the waiter outside rang out in vain, breaking the once cold scene in the pavilion:
"Xiao Yexuan Yu Zhaoyi arrived—"
