Die'er looked at the sky outside, with a worried expression on her face, and said, "Concubine Side, there is snow outside, are you still going to the West Court today?"
Sometimes Die'er doesn't know what Concubine Qiao thinks. She is the respected concubine of Concubine Qiao, and she is the wife of King Yu Diejing, but she always takes the initiative to go to the residence of a concubine to show her love.
She also understands the meaning of the concubine side, but she has been there for so many days and has never met His Highness once, so is it necessary to go
His Highness's temperament is timid, and it can be imagined that Madam Hua's favor is actually quite small. It will take a long time to stop people there.
"Go, why don't you go." Concubine Qiao said while letting Cui'er dress up for herself, her brows and eyes were full of leisure, and she was not impatient.
"But… "
Of course Concubine Qiao understood what Die'er wanted to say, and raised her hand to stop, "Now I'm just spending my time at leisure, so it's time to pass the time."
Die'er felt uncomfortable when she heard this, so she won't mention it again.
In fact, there are still some words that Qiao Fangfei did not say.
Since His Highness came to Jingzhou, he seldom came to the backyard. Occasionally, when she comes here, she only sleeps and does nothing. Not only Xiao Shi's woman is anxious, but she is also anxious. After so many years of pampering, she doesn't want to, she just wants a child. For this, as long as she can borrow a little bit of energy, she can't let it go.
She won't be like the idiot of the Xiao family, and use all her tricks. Even if she makes people unable to have children, what's the use of His Highness if she doesn't go to her place.
Of course, Concubine Qiao also had some expectations in her heart. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, after her Royal Highness came to Jingzhou, she had only visited her here, and had never been to other places. Maybe His Highness treated her differently, but after a long time, he forgot.
"Take that altar of rouge drunk, this concubine invites Mrs. Hua to taste it today."
When Die Er heard this, she couldn't help but smile when she thought of the faces of the palace servants in the West Courtyard.
"Miss Side Concubine, you didn't pay attention to the faces of the palace servants in the Western Courtyard. You obviously want to drive us out, but you still have to endure it."
Concubine Qiao smiled charmingly, "No way, who made me a concubine, she is a lady."
"That's true, but the servant girl didn't seem to be in a hurry when she saw that Madam Hua was very determined, and she didn't know whether she was really stupid or fake."
Concubine Qiao tapped her red lips with her fingers, and smiled meaningfully at the mirror, "It's impossible to be a fool."
After a pause, he said again: "It's just because I'm not a fool that I dare not keep this concubine from the door. If it were Yu Jiao, this concubine wouldn't be able to enter."
"The side concubine is wise."
"Okay, let's go, don't be late."
Die'er helped Concubine Qiao, Cui'er held the wine jar with the 'Rouge Drunk', and a few people walked towards the door.
******
"Sister Hua, I brought a good thing today, and I specially invite you to taste it. In the evening, I will ask someone to bring my share. Let's have dinner together and taste this excellent 'Rouge Drunk' together."
After Concubine Qiao walked in, the first sentence was this, and she let Die'er put the small white wine jar on the table without any restraint.
Xiaohua was a little speechless in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said, "Sister Side Concubine is so polite, she always brings something to share with her concubine."
"The two of us are close, so we don't need to see the outside world."
Xiaohua smiled.
The two sat down on the kang, and Concubine Qiao added: "Sister Hua is comfortable here, and even this heated kang is more comfortable than where I sit."
It's like you don't have a kang there!
Except for Princess Jing's Changchun Courtyard and His Royal Highness's Jingtai Hall, the entire King Jing's Mansion has ground dragons, and other places are heated by ondol and charcoal basins, as does Concubine Qiao. There are objects in every household, as if they have never seen them before, so it is no wonder that Xiaohua will slander.
Since the first visit that day, Concubine Qiao has come every day, most of them in the afternoon.
After coming, sit down for a while and chat with Xiaohua about unimportant things.
Xiaohua has been in contact with her for a long time, only to realize that this concubine Qiao is indeed a capable person.
At least others can chat very well, even if you have nothing to say, she can talk about a topic with you. And the attitude is good from beginning to end, the smile is kind, neither arrogant nor aggressive, giving the illusion that this person is easy to get along with and well-meaning.
But the illusion is an illusion after all, and it can't be true. These little flowers still understand and are not shaken by it.
She could not shake her heart, but she could not stop Concubine Qiao Fang, who was always smiling, from staying with her for more and more time day by day, and even now she would occasionally find excuses to bring some delicious food over here. Have dinner with her.
Because of this, Xiaohua has become more and more annoyed with this concubine Qiao recently. She is very annoyed with her behavior, and she is also annoyed at why she was polite to her in the first place. She was polite, but she was 'really' and came to 'visit' very seriously.
Not only Xiaohua is annoying, but Ding Lan and Chuncao are also very annoying recently. Lilac is better at covering up than them, but Concubine Qiao can't help frowning after she leaves.
The two chatted for a while, mainly Qiao Fangfei said, Xiaohua listened and occasionally said something. From the outside, it looks even harmonious, but in fact, the two people who are present know how to estimate it.
When it came to You in a flash, Xiaohua and Concubine Qiao's dinner had already been brought over.
Ding Lan led someone to set up the Eight Immortals table in the west room, and set the meal on it. Xiaohua's dishes and Qiao's concubine's dishes made a big table full of them.
The two got off the kang, sat down at the table, and washed their hands under the service of their respective palace servants.
"Sister Hua, I will respect you first."
Concubine Qiao asked Die'er to pour the wine called 'Rouge Drunk' into the cup, and served it up first as a tribute.
The wine cups and pots are all from Xiaohua. Although the wine belongs to Concubine Qiao, she has already drank it first as an example. Since it is impossible to have anything, Xiaohua asks Lilac to help her pour the wine.
In fact, sometimes Xiaohua admires Concubine Qiao. It should be very embarrassing, so she does not feel embarrassed at all, but it is extremely natural. Just like this wine, as well as the food and other foods that Concubine Qiao used in the past, they were all 'tested' by others without being pretentious, so that you can't say no if you want to refuse.
"This rouge is intoxicating but not spicy, and has a faint fragrance, and it won't get drunk after drinking it. It is most suitable for our daughters to drink."
Having said all that, Xiaohua picked it up and drank it without being pretentious.
"Thank you Sister Qiao for the good wine, this cup is a concubine's tribute to you."
In the mouth of the wine, as Qiao Fangfei said, it is mellow and not spicy, not to mention the fragrance, but also with some fruity sweetness in the mouth.
Xiaohua has almost never drank alcohol in her life, but she often accompanies the Fourth Young Master to have a few drinks in her previous life.
While the two were eating, they occasionally said a few words. Concubine Qiao repeatedly persuaded her to drink, and Xiaohua drank very smoothly, so she did not push back.
While they were eating, Chunzhu hurried in over there, glanced at Concubine Qiao, and spoke in Xiaohua's ear.
King Jing is here
Xiaohua was a little drunk, but she was not drunk. She glanced at Concubine Qiao, and a thought flashed in her heart.
Oh, what a coincidence! Really let her meet!
Thinking so, I quickly stood up and said, "Sister Qiao, your Royal Highness has come down, the maid and concubine will go to greet you first." She took the lead to go outside to prepare to greet her.
Die'er glanced at Concubine Qiao in surprise, Concubine Qiao tidyed up her appearance, pursed her lips and forced a smile, and followed out.
When Concubine Qiao was going out, she happened to see King Jing coming in, and Xiaohua was saluting. She took two steps up and gave a blessing.
King Jing wore a black uniform with dark gold patterns today, a black jade crown on his head, and a black jade belt around his thin waist. He looked indifferent and added a handsome look.
Fushun stood by and looked at Concubine Qiao, who should not be here, with strange eyes, King Jing made up his mind, and there was no clue on his face, he raised his hand to let the two stand up.
Xiaohua, the master, hadn't spoken yet, but Concubine Qiao said first, "It's a coincidence that your Highness came down. Sister Hua and I are having dinner together. I don't know if Your Highness has used it. Let's use some together."
In fact, Concubine Qiao Fang said this after seeing two little eunuchs behind Fushun carrying food boxes.
King Jing did not speak, but Fu Shun sighed in his heart and waved someone to set the meal.
Concubine Qiao Fang followed King Jing and walked into the west room with a smile. The faces of the palace servants in the west courtyard were a little ugly. Concubine Qiao Fang was so obvious that it was hard not to make people look ugly.
Although Rouge Drunk is a drink drunk by women, it is still somewhat intoxicating. Xiao Hua is not only a little dizzy at this time, but her face is also burning red. She didn't show an ugly expression, but followed to the west.
Over there, King Jing has already taken his seat, and the meal that King Jing brought has also been placed. Concubine Qiao sat on the left side of King Jing, and Xiaohua came to the right and sat down.
Concubine Qiao's face was red and charming, and she didn't know whether she was drinking or was excited.
"His Royal Highness, this is the 'Rouge Drunk' that my concubine brought over for Sister Hua to taste. Would you like to try it?"
King Jing didn't speak, he just took the chopsticks to eat, and didn't even look at Concubine Qiao.
Anyone who can stay by King Jing's side for a few years understands his nature. Seeing that he has no objection, Concubine Qiao invites the people next to him to pour wine for King Jing.
After pouring, let Dieer pour Xiaohua and fill her own cup.
"His Royal Highness, concubine toast to you."
Under the light, Concubine Qiao is very beautiful today. She seems to be well-dressed, with pink lips and almond eyes. She is wearing a small jacket with moon-white brocade embroidered with green entwined lotus patterns. Appears to be trembling and loud. Every move has a very strong and soft taste, just like the flowers that have already bloomed, which can attract countless butterflies and bees.
Usually, every time Concubine Qiao comes, I don't feel anything, but I just think Concubine Qiao is a beauty. At this moment, this scene was reflected, but Ding Lan and the others on the side couldn't help but grit their teeth, and Xiaohua didn't know how to react except for a couple of humming in her heart.
Others are deliberate, others are patient, and others are spoiled. People with this nature are invincible on the battlefield in the backyard. Coupled with a good face and a good brain, it is even more overwhelming.
Xiaohua had secretly compared herself with others, and felt that she was not enough to carry shoes.
King Jing didn't say a word, just held a cup and drank.
Concubine Qiao smiled and raised her glass to Xiaohua again, "Sister Hua, sister toast to you, thank you for your warm hospitality today."
Xiaohua twitched the corners of her mouth and glanced at King Jing.
Is this the hospitality? Ha ha…
"Sister Side Concubine is too polite." Xiaohua picked up the cup and drank with her sleeves covering her face.
As soon as Xiaohua's cup was put down, Die'er held the pot beside her and filled it up with her, and filled the cups of King Jing and Concubine Qiao.
In front of King Jing, Concubine Qiao, the elder sister, toasted Xiaohua's wine, and Xiaohua would definitely return it, and Xiaohua on King Jing's side could only hold a wine glass and toast King Jing first.
"Your Highness, your maid and concubine respect you."
King Jing glanced at her silently.
The little flowers under the light are particularly delicate today. Her palm-sized face was pink, because she was a little dizzy drinking it, her eyes were watery, and her lips had rose-red wine stains, which looked very moisturizing.
King Jing tightened his hands and drank the wine calmly while holding the glass.
Seeing King Jing drinking, Xiaohua turned her head to pay respect to Concubine Qiao.
"Sister Side Concubine, thank you for your wine today, and my concubine toasts you."
"Sister Hua is too polite." Concubine Qiao said with a smile, drinking from a cup, her soft eyes shining under the light.
The little flower here was put down as soon as she put it on, and the butterfly over there stepped over, holding the pot again and pouring the rose-red 'rouge drunk' into Xiaohua's cup slowly.
Lilac, who was standing beside him, stared blankly.
ps: no-responsibility version of the small theater
Concubine Qiao: My passion is like a fire, burning the whole desert... oh... The sun will hide from me when it sees me. It is also afraid of the fire of my love...
Xiaohua: (hard face) o(╯□╰)o
Concubine Qiao: Huahua, you are my true love, so you can obey me, forget about the smoldering scene, he is not harmonious.
Little Flower: Hehe...
