Chapter 423, concubines
"Not Seventeen Beal is about to marry Princess Tong Jia as his concubine. For this reason, the emperor specially honored Seventeen Beal's biological mother Chen Tairen as Qin Taipin. Kuangsha.com" Concubine Qi smiled and said the most troublesome thing at the moment.
Not only was he named Qin Tai Concubine, but also named Wang Tairen, the mother of the fifteenth and sixteenth, as the mother of the twenty-first and nobles Gao Tairen, as Xiang Tai Concubine.
Yao Jiaxin had to order people to record the birth dates of these three concubines. Now she is a serious mother concubine, and she will have to send birthday gifts every year in the future.
Although it is late in the first lunar month, the new festive celebration is still ongoing.
The empress dowager has no real power, but her youngest son is happy when he gets a beautiful woman. He goes to Tongliyuan to listen to opera every now and then, and always invites three new Taipin.
This time, Yao Jiaxin was also invited to listen to the opera.
Yao Jiaxin couldn't appreciate the traditional art of Kunqu opera. She would rather stay at Bitong Academy to practice calligraphy and draw Chinese paintings. Or read the new novels of the world, it would be more interesting than the opera that Yi Yi Ya Ya couldn't understand.
But Yao Jiaxin naturally had to give face to invite the Queen Mother.
The Paradise means to have fun with the whole palace. Every four seasons, longevity, or the birth of the empress dowager, there are several big dramas here. Although Yao Jiaxin doesn't like listening to operas, she also knows that the best entertainment in the palace has touched and listened to Kunqu Opera. Therefore, she also performed three major dramas on her birthday last year, but she said she was tired and she just came to sign and left.
But now the empress dowager is the host, so of course Yao Jiaxin can't escape.
The Queen Mother knew that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of wrinkles. She wore a crimson-red blessed dress, like a kind old lady from an ordinary wealthy family. "I just arranged the "Peach Blossom Fan" a few days ago. The Ai family thought it was very good, so I asked you to listen now."
Yao Jiaxin squeezed out a smile, "I don't know much about drama, so the empress dowager will make the decision."
As she said that, she pointed to the food box held by the harem, "I brought some snacks and ask the Queen Mother and a few concubines to try it."
The oldest of the three Taipin Concubines was the eldest son of the three sons, the Min-Shipin Wang. The Min-Shipin smiled in a friendly and gentle tone: "I've heard that the cooking skills of the small kitchen in Bitong Academy are very good, and I'm now happy!"
The son of Taipin Mi, Shiliu, had just gotten married before. The Fujin family was not of high origin. He was just the daughter of a man who was a man who was a little surnamed Wuqi.
In this regard, Taipin Mi did not show any dissatisfaction. When he saw him, he spoke all over the emperor's kindness, and the empress dowager was kind.
Qin Taipin was a young woman with a charm, but she was dressed in a simple and old manner. The only bright color on her was that she wore a string of beeswax beads on her collar.
Qin Taipin looked at the plate of bat-shaped cookies and nodded slightly: "It's very exquisite."
Xiang Taipin Gao is the youngest Taipin, even several years younger than Yao Jiaxin and Ning Concubine. She is only twenty-five years old now.
Today, when I was listening to the opera, Concubine Ning was also invited, and also brought the Concubine Wang, Concubine Hai and Gao Changzai from her palace.
Concubine Wang held her heavy waist and followed Concubine Ning to greet the Empress Dowager, Concubine and Concubine respectively.
The Empress Dowager looked at Guiren Wang's belly and asked, "How many months have you been?"
Concubine Wang replied obediently: "It has been seven months since I returned to the Empress Dowager."
Concubine Ning hurriedly smiled and said, "Please rest assured that the empress dowager, grandma has already been prepared to take birth, just waiting for the melon to fall."
The Empress Dowager nodded, "You are cautious in your work, and the Ai family is very relieved." As she said that, she asked Concubine Ning and others to sit down.
Gao Changzai's seat was specially arranged next to Xiang Taipin, and Guiren Hai and Guiren Wang were both sitting on the chair where Concubine Ning started.
Yao Jiaxin has the best position, right next to the Queen Mother, and is in the center axis of the theater, with a good viewing line. It is a pity for her to have such a good position.
I saw an old white-bearded Taoist appear on the stage, shaking the dust in his hand, and the cymbals and gongs were ringing. The old Taoist sang: "Who is like me, Mr. Antique? He is neither jade nor copper, covered with bread. He has no companions. People at that time pointed at him, why should he hide... The beautiful Tang and Yushi, the flowers bloomed in Jiazi years; there were no bandits in the mountains, and the gods on the ground..."
Yao Jiaxin's eyes are like mosquito coils and numb eggs. Who can understand this thing?!
Seeing everyone on both sides listening with relish, Yao Jiaxin had to admit that there was still a big difference between herself and the ancients.
So she ate snacks silently and drank tea, and secretly went down from time to time to explain that she was a pregnant woman, so it was normal for pregnant women to urinate frequently. Didn’t she see that Wang Guiren often slipped down?
However, Wang Guiren was very fast. Although his stomach was not small, his steps were very steady. He came back in less than half a minute. He was not like Yao Jia, a concubine. He left for two minutes. I didn’t know that I thought the concubine had diarrhea.
The Empress Dowager knew that the imperial concubine didn't like to listen to operas, so she picked up an exquisite snack and put it in her mouth to taste it. Well, it was very good. She deserved to be a snack cook who was given by the emperor, and her skills were not inferior to those in the Ai family palace.
Yao Jiaxin stood outside the thatched cottage, listening to the snow water ticking on the eaves of the theater. The bored Yao Jiaxin reached out to take a drop, and the coldness fell on her palm, making her sleepy immediately feel excited.
Suddenly, Concubine Wang held her waist with one hand and was supported by the palace maid with the other hand, and her steps came hurriedly.
"The Imperial Concubine." Concubine Wang hurriedly bowed.
Seeing that Concubine Wang was anxious, Yao Jia hurriedly pointed to the thatched cottage and said lightly: "Go."
Then he returned to the theater.
Yao Jiaxin walked slowly, so she and Guiren Wang returned to the theater.
The Queen Mother said quietly: "That part just now was so exciting."
Yao Jiaxin smiled. She couldn't understand anyway, so what did it have to do with her if it was exciting? The nobleman Wang showed a look of annoyance.
The slutty Kunqu opera continued, Yao Jiaxin secretly yawned, when will the peat ball be finished?
At this moment, Fang Chaoen, the eunuch in Ning Fei's palace, ran over with a pale face and knelt on the ground, "Empress, it's not good! Our Qinglan caught fire!"
"What?!" Ning Fei, who was listening to the opera, changed her face drastically.
Fang Chaoen hurriedly said, "The fire has been extinguished now. It's cold and it's not too heavy. But after that... it's impossible to live in anyone."
Wang Guiren and Gao Changzai who lived behind him both looked a little unpleasant.
The empress dowager sitting in the main seat frowned, "How could there be such a bad thing in this first month of the year?!"
Concubine Ning hurriedly got up and said, "It's my concubine who disturbs the Queen Mother, it's not me."
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly said kind words from the side: "This kind of thing is unexpected. Fortunately, Qinglan's concubines were all here and were not injured, which is already a blessing."
However, Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Although Mu Zhiyu is indeed prone to fire, it is now the cold first month of the year. The warmth of snow melts, and the fire should not be easy to burn...
