female concubine

Chapter 282

On August 27th, the 33th year of Qianyuan, the crown prince, the prime minister, the clan and all civil and military officials wore court uniforms and held wat boards to the Zichen Hall to congratulate. Regular clothes are given to the imperial banquet in Jiying Hall.

A huge colorful building was built in front of the Jiying Hall. Menxia Province was appointed by the emperor to sit. In the hall, only the ministers of the two prefectures of the East and the West, the clan and the confidant ministers were set up, and officials from the sixth department of the Shangshu Province and below were seated together with the five ministers of the nine temples. The prison and the envoys of various countries are located in the corridors on both sides of the main hall, and the rest of the seats are set around the hall. The military academy is located behind the colorful building. .

All civil and military bureaucrats were still congratulating in the Zichen Palace, and the chief of the Shangshi Bureau urged the palace people in the Food Division, "Be careful and careful, and there must be no shortage of things at every table, especially the seats of the prime ministers in the hall."

"Yes."

The female secretary led the palace staff to put ring cakes, oil cakes, jujube tarts and fruits on each small table one by one. Pour leeks, garlic, and chopped into a large basin, then put them into small plates with a spoon, and serve them on each table with a plate of vinegar as a dipping material.

The Jiaofang Division and the Yunshao Department's actors and officials are wrapped in long-footed soft headbands, wearing purple, red and green wide shirts, with yellow lace and gold-plated leather belts around their waists. They are arranged in order according to the musical instruments. Among them, there are ten people holding clappers in the first row, 50 people holding lutes in their arms in the second row, and two konghou pedestals in the next row. The stringed harp, the next row of konghou has two big drums, and behind the big drum there are two Jiegu drums from foreign barbarians placed on a small table. There are two hundred stick drums on both sides of the actors in the teaching workshop holding musical instruments. The players playing the stick drums all wear purple wipes on their foreheads, wide shirts and narrow sleeves. The drum spans the waist, and there are hundreds of actors performing Yanle in the Cailou.

In the color building, there are actors performing actors and actors performing songs, dances and operas. Several actors are dressing up for a color leader. "I envy my sister who can enter the palace and see the dignity of the officials."

Sechang put on the earrings, "The king is like a tiger, what is there to see in the official family?"

"They all said that the official looks like a modern one, and that it is the best official family in the country. His Highness only performs dances in the palace, and they have never seen it up close."

Hug

Pipa laughed and said, "Tigers can eat people."

By the time the bell and drum courtyard beat the drums, the preparations for the Jiying Hall were almost complete, and the officials went to the hall to sit down and wait for the emperor.

The servant of the Kunning Palace brought his cronies to the Secretary of the Shangshi Bureau, "Where is Si Hong?"

The female secretary looked up at his clothes and the leather belt around his waist and said: "Si Yun is preparing wine in the inner courtyard, so I will go and call, please wait a moment, the nobleman." Wei Wei bowed behind her and turned her head and walked a little faster. Bu Zi entered the warehouse where the wine was stored, and after a short while, the two Si Yuns, Si Yun and Si Yun, came out together, bowed to the inner servant and said, "Your Highness."

"I'm sorry for the official family's birthday, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to ask you not to use spirits for the wine in front of the throne, but to replace it with tea or other things."

After the two female officials looked at each other, they hurriedly beckoned to the palace servants to take back the hand of the person who prepared the wine and placed the table.

——Funning Hall——

Xiao Youqing changed into a red robe for her, "I asked Kui Guang to go to Shangshi Bureau to ask them to change the official wine."

"The birthday banquet is already held. There is only one 50-year period in a person's life. Only this time, my wife won't allow me to drink alcohol?"

Xiao Youqing fastened the single tail leather belt to her waist and put the bracelet on her waist, hugged her tightly from behind and said tremblingly: "The imperial doctor said that your body is probably inseparable from drinking too much when you were young. long memory."

The emperor raised his lowered hands and held hers tightly, "If you don't drink, don't drink, don't be sad, those who don't know think that today's birthday banquet will become a funeral banquet..."

The emperor closed his eyes, a red mark was drawn on the back of his hand, he touched the back of his hand and turned around, "Is this lady murdering her husband?"

Xiao Youqing raised her head and hooked the leather belt and pulled her to the front, patted her covered head away, looked at the lingering red marks, "Does it still hurt?"

The emperor shook his head with a smile and put him in his arms, rubbing his head against his neck and shoulders, "Sanniang like this is more likable, the deep palace is like a shackle, it will slowly wear out a person's temper, contented and happy instead It has become the most difficult thing, if only I can continue to be comfortable like this."

Xiao Youqing raised her stiff hands tremblingly and put them on her back, "It's only half my life, and there's still so much time left, why should the officials say it's so desolate."

"Yes," the emperor looked up at her, "the rest of my life is still so long."

Xiao Youqing walked out of her arms, held hands and said, "Let's go, all civil and military officials are waiting for Liu Lang."

"it is good."

--------------------------

The cups used on the prime minister’s table and in front of the imperial seat in the main hall of Jiying Hall are all pure gold cups with wide mouths and handles.

There are two color chiefs.

The emperor is still in the future, so the ministers sat down and chatted, "I heard that Cao Shilang's daughter-in-law is going to be married soon?"

Cao Ji nodded, "That's right, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and at that time, all the gentlemen and lords will be honored."

"Vice-President Cao also wants your daughter to take the imperial examination?"

There were a few female officials in purple robes in the seats in the main hall, but there were not many, so Cao Ji shook his head, "The little girl's qualifications are shallow, and the lady doesn't want him to be an official, so let's just be an official."

"Deputy Prime Minister Cao's Ling Ai stepped down from office when she was ten years old, but the real person in the palace said that she was destined by Wang Fu's family. I don't know which family will have such good fortune to marry the daughter of Vice Prime Minister Cao in the future."

"The holy driver is here!" the chief commander called out.

The inside and outside of the main hall suddenly became quiet, only the sound of birds imitated by Jiaofang could be heard from the colorful building. The emperor had been on the throne for more than [-] years, and the birthday capital of Zichen Hall was just a formality. Give the officials a royal banquet.

----------------------------

——TOKYO CITY——

Because of the emperor's birthday, the capital was immersed in the joy of singing and dancing throughout January, especially the temples and temples were the most frequented by pilgrims, most of whom were women praying for the emperor's longevity.

Princess Yiguo ordered Yanchuan to buy two men's clothes, and the palace servants helped her out of the screen after changing them. Princess Yiguo put her arms around the bronze mirror and asked, "What do you think of Yanchuan? Is it good?" Does he look like the gentleman of the family?"

The servant raised his hand and stared blankly, then bowed and said, "Princess looks the best in whatever she wears."

"Don't call me princess when you leave the house soon." Princess Yiguo poked her chin with her finger, "Daddy is the emperor...what should I call me?"

"In the pre-Qin period, the sons of the princes were called the sons, and the daughters were called the sons."

Princess Yiguo turned her head, "Yanchuan is simply my library, so call me son."

"The official's birthday is held in Da Nei, and the princess will enter the palace at night. Do you want to go out now?"

"I don't like to stay with those smelly ministers. A few days ago, I found out that there is a new group of zaju performers in Wazi, Beizhou, which are much more interesting than those in Jiaofang."

The servant cupped his hands helplessly, "The princess is only allowed to watch for a short while, and can't stay too long, lest the officials and saints have to worry again."

Yu Yanchuan changed the clothes of his courtiers into casual clothes, took out two black horses from the stables in the backyard, and followed the princess from Tianshui Lane.

----------------------------

On the way to the third Tianshui Lane to Ganming Temple, a carriage was slowly driving, and there were two masters and servants sitting in the carriage, and the hostess, Dougao Nianhua.

"The girl went out alone to pray

Don't bring more people, just in case..."

"There is nothing in case." The woman denied, "If there are still unruly people in today's Tokyo city, I am afraid that in this prosperous age... I also go out to avoid those who come to propose marriage."

"It's all because of that stinky old man who attracted those who are suffering from disasters to come to the Minister's Mansion to propose marriage."

"Don't talk nonsense," the woman reprimanded, "birth, old age, sickness and death are something that no one can escape, but having said that..." the woman turned her head and lifted the curtain of the car, her clean eyes were full of calmness that didn't match her age. Can see everything, "It is a joke that you can get change by being lured by people, but ah... some people believe it is true, maybe they don't believe it, they just want to feel at ease."

"What the girl said is too profound, I don't understand."

The woman lowered the curtain and shook her head gently. When she was about to speak, the car stopped suddenly, and the driver almost fell off the carriage hill. He pointed at the two people who rode out from the alley in front and cursed: "How do you ride horses?" , don't you look at the road?"

"Who doesn't look at the road, there is a porridge shop in front of it, and I can't see..."

The female envoy in the car quickly helped her girl up, "Girl, are you alright?"

The woman shook her head, and hearing the voice outside sounded like a woman, she asked, "What happened?"

The coachman looked at the two people's clothes and guessed their identities, turned his head and said: "Miss, the young driver almost bumped into two scholars just now."

"Scholar?" The woman raised her eyebrows, "Let's go if you have nothing to do, don't bully scholars."

"Yes." The coachman said to the two of them again: "This is the eldest girl from the Shi Lang's residence. The girl has always been kind, so I won't argue with you two today."

"..." Princess Yiguo rode to the coachman, "There are so many servants in the country, how do I know which family you belong to?"

The coachman took a contemptuous look and then raised his whip, "It doesn't matter which one, you can't afford to mess with it now."

"I..." Princess Yiguo raised her whip and wanted to say something, but the servant who caught up grabbed her wrist, which made her let go and didn't continue to care.

"The villain is overstepping the rules."

"Yan Chuan stopped me from doing something. I have to beat him up to discourage this kind of doggy."

The servant reminded in a low voice: "This is the street, if the sage knows that the princess is riding a horse in the street, you can't..."

Princess Yiguo was stunned, and immediately looked at the onlookers on both sides of the street. She clenched the rein in her hand and lifted it vigorously. The horse raised its limbs and frightened the bystanders, "What are you looking at!"

The two left the street and slowed down their horseback riding. Princess Yiguo was still puzzled

Qi said: "No one has dared to talk to me like this before. If the coachman just let me know who it is, I will definitely find out and beat him severely."

"This direction should be going to Qianming Temple. There are many roads leading to this road. If you want to talk about the Shilang's Mansion...the only one is the Shilang's house under the Dangchaomen. I just speculate."

"The minister under the door..." Princess Yiguo's eyes lit up, "Mr. Cao, the lecturer of the Eastern Palace? How could the coachman of Mr. Cao's family be so ignorant of etiquette?"

"The servants are all protecting the lord, and he doesn't recognize the princess wearing the clothes of a scholar. Besides..." the servant lowered his head, "It is indeed our fault first."

Princess Yiguo turned her head, "Mr. Cao should be in Da Nei right now, so is Mrs. Zhang sitting in that car?"

"The eldest girl he mentioned just now may be Mr. Cao's daughter-in-law."

"Girl?"

"Have you forgotten, the princess? The year after the princess opened the mansion, she met a little girl with a horn pierced at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. She should be thirteen or fourteen years old. I heard that Cao Xianggong's eldest girl is also the same. She is a beautiful embryo, now she is generous and has a very good fortune, and when she was 12 years old, the suitors almost broke the threshold."

Princess Yiguo turned her head while holding the rein, looking at the bustle of vehicles and horses on the street leading to Ganming Temple, "Bah, they are all people with plans."
