"Yes, I heard that the imperial doctor is giving warm tonic now, but he doesn't dare to overdo it." Zi Zhu whispered: "It's actually of no use if she rushes out of the mountain."
"It's a pity that she can't see it from the inside." Shen Chuliu shook his head: "Since Concubine Yi is going to dress up to attend, I can't lag behind."
Zi Zhu smiled and said everything was ready.
Shen Chuliu handed her the finished ice bowl.
I thought that Concubine Yi was rushing out of the mountain now, and her health was not good. There is no future.
I'm afraid this beloved concubine... just fell silent.
The next day, Shen Chuliu put on a brocade-colored skirt, with a gold-threaded lotus pattern embroidered on the collar and chest. Off-white pink silk thread embroidered short jacket, tied into the skirt.
The pearls on the top of the embroidered shoes are exposed as you walk, which is very beautiful.
She wears a bun with double swords and a lotus hairpin inlaid with red gold and pink crystal.
It is decorated with exquisite Ruyi gold balls, followed by two identical silk flowers and a pearl flower.
Rose quartz pearl earrings dangled in her ears.
There are no tassels in the bun, but under the eyes, gold powder is mixed with red rouge, and a half lotus is lit.
In his hand, he holds the jade bone auspicious cloud fan awarded by the emperor.
The fabric on the fan is extremely rare silver gauze.
It is famous for its silver-like color and thinness like cicada wings.
The annual output is extremely rare, and it is used to make fans. When the fan blows, there will be a gentle breeze. Such a precious thing should not be paired with vulgar things. The fan bone is the finest white jade, and the silk thread used for embroidery is also the best.
It can be seen that it is also a pretend... weapon.
At least this makes other people envious, and not everyone has such a thing.
Qi Yixiu generously rewarded her with two handles.
When everyone arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, Qi Yixiu watched the two empress dowagers sit down first, and the queen followed closely to serve the two empress dowagers.
After everyone said hello, Qi Yixiu waved his hand and asked everyone to take a seat.
There are also ministers and people from the clan below. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also a big day.
Today, the second prince and the eldest princess also came to the table again. As the children grow up, they will come to the table more and more frequently in the future.
Shen Chuliu paid attention to the second prince, who looked quite cute, but judging from his various behavior styles, he was also a rather arrogant little young lady.
In contrast, the eldest princess is much more honest and good-looking.
Shen Chuliu went to see Concubine Yi again.
Today, Concubine Yi is wearing an orange-pink coat and skirt, embroidered with chrysanthemums, which is quite exquisite.
She wore her hair in a high and thin bun, using the white jade hairpin ring she was used to, which was elegant and delicate.
The red gold and white jade earrings in the ears are the most eye-catching.
She is good-looking, but she is a second-grade concubine after all. It is difficult to stand out in this kind of dress in such a festival.
Probably because the Yi Dynasty was rich, although there are rules that concubines cannot wear pure red, or concubines cannot wear pure red.
But it is not that strict, so everyone only needs to avoid bright red, and no one cares about wearing other reds casually.
Peony did not say that it could only be used by the first wife.
Of course, this does not mean that the main wife is not important. In fact, the legitimate concubines are still highly valued here.
It’s just that the rights of the royal wives do not need to be overemphasized by these extraneous things.
In addition, the queen was of noble birth and very proud, and she would not restrict what the women in the harem should wear.
So even if you are a royal girl and want to dress up well, that’s fine.
It's just that according to the rules, concubines with lower status don't get much, so they can't dress up.
After returning to the banquet, Zhao Meiren covered her lips with her sleeves and whispered to Shen Chuliu: "Look, Concubine Yi is not in good spirits."
Shen Chuliu nodded, indeed. Although the makeup is very delicate, she looks pale.
Even though he had been smeared with rouge, the lack of energy in his eyes showed through.
"She is also anxious. Why come out now? Wouldn't it be better to wait a little longer?" Zhao Meiren said and sat down. She obviously did not intend to ask Shen Chuliu to take over.
Shen Chuliu laughed in surprise. Sure enough, there were no fools in this palace.
It's not a bad thing that Zhao Meiren has no favors. As expected, she sees things clearly.
Li Jieyu turned three months old and looked a little plumper, but she was in good spirits.
Soon it was time for a toast, and the Queen made a toast first.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor of the two palaces all drank.
Concubine Feng Shu and Concubine Kangde both paid their respects, and it was Concubine Yi's turn. When Concubine Yi stood up, she felt like she was coughing. She was cold because she was weak.
Because I wanted to cough, I was delayed in getting up.
Of course you can't cough, this is a banquet.
So she looked worse and worse as she held it in.
Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile: "Concubine Yi has not been raised well, why is she in such a hurry to come out?"
This may seem ordinary, but if you look into it carefully, doesn't it mean that Concubine Yi lost her composure in public
"I'm sorry, I'll reward Concubine Yi with some medicinal materials later." Empress Dowager Li also followed.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mothers of both palaces a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I also wish the Emperor the best." Concubine Yi couldn't hold on any longer, and there was an itch in her throat.
Qi Yixiu was dissatisfied, but was patient: "Concubine Yi also needs to take care of herself."
Just took a sip of wine.
Concubine Yi was very embarrassed. She sat down and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief to suppress her coughing.
After Concubine Jin, no one can toast.
The emperor looked around and suddenly mentioned Shen Chuliu: "Jingmei is usually the best at dressing up. Why is she so bad today?"
Shen Chuliu stood up: "The emperor said that I am very nervous, I have lost my manners."
"It's not a disgrace, it's just that your appearance today is a bit off." Qi Yixiu looked at her for a long time, and was really struck by the slight upward squint at the corner of her eye.
"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, go and find a pair of necklaces for her. It should be worthy of her body." Qi Yixiu said.
I was busy on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Shen Chuliu smiled and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, the emperor indeed has good taste. This would be suitable with a pair of Yingluo." Empress Dowager Li smiled.
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Li and the emperor's aesthetics are of the same origin.
"Each of the emperor's harem has its own characteristics, but the Ai family likes the way the queen dresses. She is young and should be meticulously dressed. She has a good heart. Now when we look at Li Jieyu and Jing Meiren, the Ai family also likes it. Feel comfortable.”
Empress Dowager Li has never been that fond of Concubine Yi because of her excessive aloofness and dress.
To put it simply, Queen Mother Li is a person who likes flowers in bloom.
"Well, Jing Mei and Li Jieyu are also exquisite, but naturally they cannot compare to the Queen's natural charm." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"The Queen Mother has an extraordinary background. I feel extremely honored to hear the Queen Mother and the Emperor say that I am with the Queen Mother in the same place." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
This is true. The manners, dress, and demeanor of a princess of a country are naturally not bad.
What's more, the Shangguan family of Chao Dynasty has been on the throne for more than four hundred years.
The natural heritage is quite deep.
The Queen laughed: "I understand your sweet words. Emei, go back and look for a set of beautiful necklaces in my warehouse to give to Jing Meiren. You can't let her praise me in vain."
