Chapter 145 The three sisters of the Jia family
The next day, Yuanchun returned to the empress, went to the Jiaofang Division to order a small play, and put it in the imperial garden. He brought his two younger sisters and invited other concubines to enjoy the performance together.
Although the queen was invited, she declined, so that was all.
Therefore, Yuanchun and Erchun took the first seat, followed by the two concubines Wu and Wei, both with their daughters, and then Cao Meiren, Xia Cairen, Xun Cairen, and Xue Guiren.
Cen Mingche's harem was originally not rich, but now it only has a few people.
Yuanchun ordered the play "Liu Er as a Clothes" and asked the second concubine to order it.
Concubines Wu and Wei couldn't refuse, so they jointly ordered a play called "Lu Zhishen Drunk in Mount Wutai".
These are hilarious scenes.
The opera excerpts were passed around, and Cao Meiren ordered a literary play of "You Yuan", and then asked Xia Cai and Xun Cai to order, and they jointly ordered "Jing Meng", which happened to be followed by "You Yuan".
When it was passed to Baochai, she had no intention of ordering it, but Yuanchun specifically asked her to order it.Baochai refused again and again, but had no choice but to order "Journey to the West" with a discount.
The stage started to sing lively. Although the opera troupe of the palace's Jiaofangsi was not as unique as the various troupes outside, their skills were exquisite and must be better than the rest.
After listening to it for a while, when Yuan Chun was taking a break, he saw a cute young lady who was playing Xiaodan, so he called him over to take a closer look.
Upon questioning, it turned out that this young lady was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she had a handsome and lovely appearance.Yuan Chun said with a smile: "This kid looks like a real person in disguise. You can't tell."
Miss Cao then smiled and said, "She looks more like Guiren Xue."
But everyone heard this, looked at it carefully, laughed, and said that it was indeed good.
Baochai knew in his heart that yesterday the emperor summoned him to accompany him and stayed overnight, so there was nothing he could do to arouse the hatred of others.
Everyone at the table was quarreling with each other, but Baochai was calm and composed at this time even though he didn't say anything or make any move.
After the play, it's a small banquet.Yuanchun teased the daughters of Concubine Wu and Concubine Wei, rewarded them with a jade pendant each, and said with emotion: "Our palace is a little lonely and deserted."
Cao Meiren hurriedly complimented: "When will the empress be able to bring a fat boy? Not to mention deserted, I'm afraid it will still be too noisy!"
She meant to flatter him, but she didn't expect that these words hit Yuan Chun's pain point.
If the emperor was willing to stay overnight, even just once a month, she would have something to look forward to, so why bother letting her sisters enter the palace to be favored?
"Yes, Miss Cao should do more for the royal family."
Yuanchun said lightly.
Cao Meiren was embarrassed, but she had to smile in a flattering way.
Who doesn't know that half of the emperor's time is given to the queen, and half of the time is not in the harem.There are only seven or eight days left. The virtuous noble concubine can take one or two days, and the rest is almost all Xia Cairen's.
Now there is another Xue Guiren, and it seems that he is also favored by the emperor.
People like Cao Meiren and Xun Cairen have not seen the holy face for a long time.
Different from the ordinary way of climbing a dragon and a phoenix, when Xun Cai entered Cen Mingche's backyard, he really had no way out.
After all, a young girl was kidnapped and did not return for several days.Although he was later found intact, his reputation was ruined.
Either live in Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a few years, and then find a low-level family in another place to marry; or simply agree to save your life and become Cen Mingche's concubine - at that time, there were only these two things in front of Miss Xun. road.
The Xun family gritted their teeth, walked directly to the door, and sent her in.
Now she is contented to be a talented person, and she also has a little pug, and her life is enjoyable.
It has nothing to do with her whether she is pampered or not.
Anyway, it is not popular for people to die in the harem at present. If you can live to old age, you can also be granted the title of concubine through the years. It would be good to live a life of retirement in the palace.
As for Xia Cairen, because he was given by the late empress, he had some respect in front of Cen Mingche. He was slim and docile, and he was a bit pampered. There was no doubt that he would be able to have a child someday.
Yuanchun thought about these people in his heart, and compared them with his two younger sisters. He felt that compared to Yingchun and Tanchun, they were only better.
It would be great if I could see the emperor again...
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty is here—"
Two rows of palace ladies opened the way, and Cen Mingche walked slowly over alone.
"My beloved concubines, please go home free of charge."
"Did I disturb your elegance?"
Yuanchun quickly smiled and said: "Now that your Majesty is here, our sisters find it interesting. Otherwise, it is just to kill time."
Cen Mingche smiled, ordered "Lin Chong's Night Run", and sat down to listen to the play with them.
This is a kung fu drama. If the singing, reading, and fighting are not good enough, the acting will be ruined.The Jiaofangsi quickly called the best martial arts student to come over and sing this song for the emperor.
……
"I really expected to be granted the title of Marquis Wanli Banchao, but I was forced to become a treasonous red scarf and betray the master Huang Chao."
"It's just like an eagle taking off its wings, a cunning rabbit leaving its cage, and picking up a dragon from a net."
"If it is difficult to save the country, who will punish Zhengmao? It is difficult to punish Gao Tao with the palm of his hand."
"It looks like my hair is burnt at the temples and my luggage is shabby."
"If you go and win a fight, Gao Qiu! I will make the sea boil and the mountains shake."
……
The actor on the stage has been sitting and meditating all year round, while Yuanchun in the audience was uneasy.
Also anxious are Yingchun and Tanchun.
Finally met the emperor!
But the emperor didn't seem to look at them differently.
As for the others, how can they still see the drama in their eyes?It’s all up to the emperor!
After listening to the whole story, Cen Mingche was about to leave.
"I, my concubine, will respectfully send you off to your Majesty."
Cen Mingche waved his hand.
"no."
Another meaningful sentence came.
"The virtuous noble concubine has two good sisters."
What does this mean?
No one was in the mood to listen to the opera anymore, Yuanchun released the reward, and everyone dispersed.
A few days later, good news came from the Queen's Palace.
The queen is pregnant.
"Originally I planned to make a small selection, but I am too heavy now and can't do it. Why don't we temporarily ban those two little girls, and also silence the civil and military officials of the court and your father."
Cen Mingche and Liu Qingyu were leaning against the window, discussing softly.
"None of the men in the Jia family are useful. They only rely on women to maintain the glory of their family. Don't they want this glory? Then I will give it to them."
Cen Mingche sneered.
"I just don't know if they can bear it."
Liu Qingyu sighed.
"The fire is cooking the oil, the flowers are blooming, and the scenery is beautiful."
"When Jia's family is all gone, we can do the surgery."
"Then, I wish your Majesty success in advance, right?"
"I would like to express my love for my wife."
The queen is pregnant, and the palace is full of rewards.
At the same time, there were two edicts sent to Fengzao Palace.
"...the Jia family's daughter Yingchun was made a noble person, and her title was Wan; the Jia family's daughter Tanchun was made a noble person, and her title was Yan... and she was given the side hall of Ju Fengzao Palace..."
After the long edict was read out, Yingchun and Tanchun fell into a dream.
Did they really all stay?
They really all stayed!Oh my God!
