I don't know if the concubines are too reserved.

Or those newcomers are more afraid of life.

Or maybe they don't want to say it too soon.

I wanted to surprise you on the day.

One by one, they didn't dare to propose.

Not to mention what to perform on the day.

In the end, it was Concubine Wan who came out to ease the embarrassment: "Queen Mother, you are the master of the Middle Palace, this kind of thing, how do you arrange it, we will cooperate with the lively atmosphere." ”

"Yes, the queen mother, the concubines have just arrived, and they haven't adapted to the Forbidden City, and for a while, I really don't think about it, and I don't know much about the customs and habits here, so I'm afraid of making the sisters laugh. Unless we get used to it in the Forbidden City for a while, maybe we can think of something new. ”

Saying that, Concubine Jin said in distress: "It's just ...... It might be a little late. ”

Ruoyin can see that this Concubine Jin has a lively personality and really wants to perform on the show.

It's just that I just came from Mongolia, and I'm not familiar with some of the rules in the Forbidden City.

Therefore, I didn't dare to put forward my opinions at the beginning, let alone arrange the program early.

I want to be ready and then show it to everyone.

It's just that in this way, you can't sort in advance.

After all, no matter how small the palace banquet is, it is also the emperor's longevity festival, so you can't fool around, and you must arrange the program in an orderly manner.

In Ruoyin's opinion, this kind of daring to say it in public is always better than those who secretly make small moves behind the scenes.

She nodded slightly, and said quite understandingly: "Since this is the case, this palace will reserve a little time for you first." ”

"Then the concubine will thank the queen mother first, anyway, I will not delay much time with my sister." Concubine Jin replied.

Immediately after, Ruoyin looked at the rest of the concubines, "What about you." ”

I saw that the concubines were either looking at each other, or looking at their noses and noses, looking at their hearts, with a look of "I have no opinion and I don't want to show it".

But Ruoyin always felt that they were not so simple, but more like they wanted to keep it secret, so they could keep it a hand, for fear of being robbed of the limelight.

After all, she remembered this year's show girl, but she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, it was all in her mind.

Since these people were reluctant to speak, she didn't bother to ask anymore.

Instead, he glanced at Banmei.

After Banmei understood, she came in with a few palace maids and a tray.

Inside those trays are all kinds of fine jewelry.

There are red gold, emerald inlays, eastern pearls, jade, jade, gemstones...... and other materials.

Ruoyin's gaze swept over the newcomer, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will be a part of the harem, and you will serve the emperor well in the future and spread the branches for the royal family." ”

"Yes."

"You have also learned the rules for a while when you entered the palace, and I want to know something about the harem concubines and some trivial matters. Then, the ugly words of this palace are ahead, if you keep to yourself, everyone will be fine. But if anyone likes to make waves in the harem, the original Meng, Yu nobles, and Xi Chang are here, which is a lesson for you, I hope you will take it as a warning and do it yourself! ”

When Ruoyin warned the harem concubines, a pair of sharp eyes scanned everyone.

"Yes, the concubines and concubines strictly follow the teachings of the queen." At this moment, regardless of whether the old man or the new person is in response, they all bow their heads.

After the serious matter was said, Ruoyin's face softened slightly.

With a faint and detached smile on her face, she looked at the tray held by the palace maids and said, "As for these jewelry, they are the meeting gifts of the palace to you." When you have had finished receiving it, return to your own dwellings. ”

After speaking, she took Mama Liu's hand, took the lead in leaving the table, and entered the inner room, leaving a group of concubines.

After about a cup of tea, the concubines received their respective greeting gifts according to their positions, and left the Yongshou Palace with their minions.

It was night, and the fourth master, who had not been pampered by the newcomer, turned over the brand of Concubine Wan from Mongolia.

In this way, Concubine Wan, who has a good family background and is her sister, has become the envy of all newcomers in the harem, including Concubine Jin.

It's just that no one knows that the emperor is because of the Horqin tribe behind Concubine Wan.

Or because of Concubine Wan's beauty and gentle character.

This is not to say that he is the youngest and most beautiful, but he is the most weighty among this year's show girls.

Even if Concubine Jin has the same background as her, she is still slightly inferior because of her sister's identity.

------

On the day of the fourth master's birthday, because it was a simple palace banquet, there were only the fourth master and the harem concubines.

The Queen Mother was supposed to come, but she was so angry with the fourth master recently that she was choked.

So, I didn't show up.

The fourth master was busy with business during the day, and Ruoyin arranged the palace banquet at night.

In winter, it gets dark early, and before dusk, the concubines go to Yongshou Palace early to wait.

One by one, they all dressed up carefully.

A pair of charming eyes, looking forward to the door from time to time.

Ruoyin also sat at the top of the hall, holding the soup woman in her hand, and followed everyone to wait for the fourth master.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was already completely dark.

Outside the hospital, the singing voice that everyone wanted to hear finally sounded: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The next moment, a bright yellow figure appeared at the door.

The fourth master was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and he was draped in a dazzling dragon pattern cloak with a light wall.

The eyebrows are like swords, and a pair of mysterious and deep eyes.

It exudes the air of a king, and people can't help but surrender.

When he entered the door, Su Peisheng untied the cloak on his body for him.

"The emperor has no borders." Ruoyin and the concubines saluted together and congratulated.

The fourth master's gaze swept over the concubines, and finally landed on Ruoyin who was above.

Then, he walked up to Ruoyin's side and helped her up.

The light stayed on her face for three seconds, and said, "I told you a long time ago, everything is simple, and you are still in charge of this." ”

"The emperor is just diligent on weekdays, but this birthday is only once a year, how can he be sloppy." Ruoyindao.

The fourth master said so, but as a queen, she can't be simple every year.

When it spreads out like this, people still think that she, the queen, is inactive.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the queen is doing this for your good." Concubine Jin said heartily.

The fourth master glanced at Concubine Jin when he heard the voice, and then said to Ruoyin: "You have worked hard." ”

"It's not hard, the concubine should be." Ruoyin laughed back.

The fourth master tightened her hand and pulled her to sit down together.

After the emperor and queen were seated, the concubines continued to take their seats.

Ruoyin glanced at Mama Liu, and the servants in the imperial dining room lined up to come in to set up food.

And the singing, dancing and singing arranged by Ruoyin also took turns to come in and perform.

By the time the meals were ready, the opera had already finished singing.

Ruoyin took the lead in raising the wine in the cup and said to the fourth master: "Your Majesty, it is another year of longevity, and the concubines wish you a thousand years of holy life, holy body and health, and every year is getting better and better." ”

Seeing this, the concubines also raised their glasses and toasted to the fourth master.

The fourth master turned his head to look at Ruoyin, raised the wine glass in front of him with his left hand, gestured to Ruoyin, and raised his head and took a sip.
