When Jiang Zhen woke up, the sky was already bright, and the dazzling sunlight shone through the window all around the house. She turned over and yawned lightly. When Gui Zhi heard the sound, she carefully opened the tent and said with a smile, "Madame, you Wake up, the slaves call someone to come in to wash you up?"
"En." Jiang Zhen nodded, sat up, twisted her neck, and asked, "Has the emperor descended?"
"Go, but I heard that the emperor called several ministers to discuss state affairs in Qiankun Palace." Gui Zhi said softly, helping Jiang Zhen up and sitting in front of the dressing table.
At this time, Gui Xun led a group of palace maids in with all kinds of washing utensils and selected clothes, and smiled and said: "Niangniang, the embroidery room brought the clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet early this morning. Come and try it for you, and if it doesn't fit, let them take it back and change it immediately."
Jiang Zhen nodded, and the two moved quickly. After grooming and dressing up, Gui Zhi said happily, "My lady looks so good in this dress, her skin is like snow and her hair is like ink."
"Good-looking is good-looking, but... Does this waist look a little tight?" Gui Xun looked up and down and said with a frown, "Niangniang, what do you think?"
"It seems to be a little smaller." Jiang Zhen stepped on her embroidered shoes and walked to the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror. In the mirror, she was wearing a sunset red dress embroidered with peony patterns. The collar and cuffs were all tattooed with gold threads. On the side, there is only a simple phoenix bun on the head, with two delicate phoenix hairpins, graceful yet luxurious, elegant and atmospheric, it is indeed a very beautiful dress, but...
Jiang Zhen turned her body sideways, tightened the clothes on her waist slightly with one hand, and touched her stomach with the other. She suddenly remembered that Xie Fei was pinching her waist last night, and joked "I'm getting fatter".
I seem to have gained some weight... Have you eaten too much recently
Thinking like this, Jiang Zhen asked a little depressed: "Guizhi, do you think Ben Gong has gained weight? This waist seems to be a lot thicker."
Gui Zhi smiled and said, "That's because the emperor has been eating with the empress recently, and the empress's appetite is much better than before, she ate more, and naturally she gained some flesh, but the empress is not fat at all, with this figure It's just right, you used to be too thin."
"Hmm." Jiang Zhen nodded thoughtfully. In the past two months, she has indeed been fed and eaten a lot by Xie Fei. It is impossible to continue like this. In the end, she might become a big fat man. , she pointed at herself in the mirror with her index finger and said firmly, "From today onwards, the emperor's feeding will not be refused to anyone who can't come again. You must firmly refuse!"
After she finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief and asked Guizhi and the two to change their clothes to the embroidery room, and asked them to slightly increase their waistlines.
On the way back to the Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs gathered together in groups of three or five, with mocking and disdainful eyes in their eyes, saying that Xi Helan entered the imperial study at night yesterday, dressed revealingly and wanted to seduce the emperor but was punished by the queen mother. Jiang Zhen sighed unbearably. In this era, how important is a woman's reputation, let alone a concubine, this Lan is afraid that she will really fall out of favor after agreeing, and there is no possibility of recovery.
Time passed quickly, and the Mid-Autumn Festival soon arrived. The hall where the family banquet was held was surrounded by beautifully painted palace lanterns and large red silk curtains. The golden palace was filled with a touch of ambergris, mixed with the strong aroma of wine and fragrance. In the fragrance of fat powder.
Because it was a family banquet, all the people in the hall were from their own family, so there were not too many restrictions. The banquet had just started, and the hall was already singing and dancing. Everyone sat in their seats, savouring delicious food with the people around them, chatting and laughing.
The wine was half full, and everyone was a little smoky. Prince Qi He, who was sitting at the bottom, proposed to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and watch the moon. Everyone happily agreed. Xie Fei agreed that everyone was in high spirits, but the queen mother was already old. Gao, unable to stand the toss, went back to the palace to rest after chatting a few words with everyone.
With the permission of the emperor, everyone invited friends or brought their family members to the imperial garden in twos and threes to watch the flowers, enjoy the moon, play chess and chat. The queen got up, took her waist and walked out: "It's a rare Mid-autumn festival, I accompany the queen to appreciate the moon in the imperial garden. If you wish, all the concubines, just go together."
Gao Baoxi, who was on the side, looked at Xie Fei's hand on Jiang Zhen's waist angrily, snorted angrily, and quickly got up and followed. After the other concubines looked at each other, they also stood up.
There are festive palace lanterns hanging all over the imperial garden. Under the faint light, the trees and flowers are lush, and the flowers are blooming in clusters. The flowers are beautiful and beautiful, and the air is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
Xie Fei took Jiang Zhen's hand and strolled along the winding gravel path. The concubines who followed behind them were also attracted by the beautiful night view of the Imperial Garden. It was rare that there was no noise. Everyone smiled and smelled the fragrance of flowers. Looking at the full moon, whispering and laughing with friends.
Gradually, the concubines and the empress became farther and farther apart. Even Gao Baoxi, who was angrily, was addicted to the beautiful eight-treasure carp pond illuminated by the lights, holding fish food to feed the fish.
"Zhen'er looks so beautiful today, this red dress is very suitable for you, the skin is as full as white jade, the eyebrows and eyes are radiant, she is really beautiful." Xie Fei smiled, holding Jiang Zhen's hand neither light nor heavy After squeezing it, he joked, "Isn't Zhen'er really that fairy Chang'e who came down to earth?"
Hearing Xie Fei say this, Jiang Zhen blushed suddenly, lowered her head slightly and retorted in a low voice, but the full smile between her brows revealed her good mood: "The emperor makes fun of Zhen'er, how can Zhen'er get Chang'e? Fairy is half a cent, that's a real beauty with a peerless face."
"Why can't it be compared?" There were faint ripples in Xie Fei's eyes, he raised Jiang Zhen's chin lightly with his index finger, looked at her eyes intently and affectionately, and said with a slight smile on the corners of his lips, "Zhen'er is My fairy Chang'e, lives firmly in my heart."
Saying that, Xie Fei took her hand to her chest, and her big palm tightly covered her hand.
His thumping heartbeat entered the palm of his hand, and reached his heart through his limbs. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhen felt her heartbeat suddenly panic. She looked up at Xie Fei, who stood quietly under the dimly lit flowers. Looking at herself, her eyes were shining, her eyes were burning, her eyes were hot, and a burning emotion in her heart rushed to her head. After a long time, she said in a nasal voice: "You are also in Zhen'er. It is firmly in my heart, and every bit is all yours, leaving no trace."
She looked at her eyes that were full of light, and there were a few crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.
Xie Fei's heart was hot, and when he saw a budding hibiscus flower leaning against her temples, the petals were as delicate as her little face, he reached out and folded it gently, holding the flower branch and slowly inserted On her bun, she stared deeply at her and whispered, "I'm so happy."
Under the light, his eyebrows were clear, but his eyes were burning like fire. Jiang Zhen was a little helpless when he saw him. Just when she avoided his sight, Xie Fei's palm gently lifted her cheek, and her thin lips were pressed against her. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's true that people are more delicate than Hua Hua, which makes people fascinated."
There were bursts of breath from his warm lips, Jiang Zhen was numb from head to toe, she lightly grabbed his arms with both hands, her cheeks were as red as drunk, and her curled eyelashes fluttered twice. It slowly closed involuntarily.
The next moment, she felt Xie Fei's hot thin lips slowly slide down, swept across her eyes, nose and cheeks, and gently landed on her lips...
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was almost midnight. Everyone said goodbye one after another and prepared to go back. At this moment, a melodious piano sound came from the rockery not far from everyone. The melody was long and full of charm.
Everyone couldn't help looking over curiously, only to see a woman wearing a white dress, her smooth hair was only slightly tied with a white ribbon, and a few naughty strands of hair were hanging by her ears, lining her. The pretty smiling face is so charming.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the bright full moon in the night sky, a pair of slender fingers skillfully plucked on the qin, occasionally twisting a finger, or twisting her wrist, the sweet and pleasant qin sound slowly hovered in the air, and everyone was too late In response, the next moment, an ethereal sound rang out: "When is the moon coming / Ask the sky for wine / I don't know the palace in the sky / What year is this evening~"
The beautiful and refined voice is like the sound of fairy tales passing through everyone's heart.
"People have joys and sorrows / The moon has cloudy and sunny days and vacancies / This matter is difficult to complete in the past / I hope people will last for a long time / Thousands of miles together, Chanjuan~"
The woman's ending was gentle and clear, with a little melancholy and hope. She slowly lowered her head and plucked the strings. The sound of the piano was melodious. Just when she opened her mouth to sing for the second time, the concubine Xiangui had recovered, and she stared at her. Looking at the woman, she was surprised: "Well, isn't that Lan's promise? Why is she there?!"
There was some indescribable jealousy and unwillingness in his tone.
Another Mei Guiren also wondered: "Yeah, isn't she grounded?"
Gao Baoxi glanced disdainfully, and said with a sneer, "Don't tell me, I think she must have sneaked out after the nurture nanny fell asleep. She's really not very courageous."
After that, she took two steps forward and walked to Xie Fei's side, curled her lips at Jiang Zhen, and smiled meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Lan promises this is disrespectful, you must punish her well, otherwise The harem is in chaos."
Xie Fei looked down at Gao Baoxi and smiled lightly: "This is natural, and I make a free decision."
After saying that, Xie Fei looked at Xi Helan's figure with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and quietly squeezed a thunderstorm with his hand behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the cloudless, starry night sky was instantly covered with overcast clouds, rolling dark clouds surging and gathering from a distance, followed by a roaring thunder blasting in the sky, and the next moment, the rain was just like this. Cracked down.
Everyone screamed in panic, carrying the corners of their skirts and ran over to the pavilion behind them. Xie Fei saw that Jiang Zhen was not running fast in her embroidered shoes, so he picked her up by the waist and strode towards the attic beside him.
Everyone disappeared in an instant, only Xi Helan was standing on the rockery holding Qin dumbfounded, and the raindrops fell on her body, making her hurt, and her long loose hair was like noodles. It was wet on his face. The white clothes that were fluttering before were now wet, and there was no sense of mistiness. The rouge and gouache on his face smeared his face along the rain, and the whole person was like the rumored ghost. .
The rain was coming, and the thunder was getting closer and closer. Xi Helan watched the lightning burst out of the clouds, and couldn't help but think of the previous lightning penalty. She couldn't help shivering, and she couldn't help regret Her well-prepared appearance was disturbed, and she didn't care about her image, she quickly dropped the piano in her hand, and was about to climb down the rockery using both hands and feet.
Right at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears—[Ding! If the host has not completed the task within 30 days, and has not completed the exchange task to increase the target's favorability value, the second stage penalty is executed: thunder and lightning 8 times, and the execution will begin after the countdown to eight breaths. ]
Xi Helan was stunned, her face instantly turned pale, and she shouted anxiously: "No—let me try again, I will definitely be able to complete the exchange task!"
The rain crackled, and a mist of water rose in the air. No one noticed the change in Xi Helan, only Xie Fei, who turned his eyes, pinched a trick, and quietly monitored the system for the first time. , and then unknowingly did something.
As soon as it was finished, the system began to execute the first thunder and lightning punishment. At almost the same time, a lightning bolt in the sky pierced the sky, almost illuminating the entire Daqi. It fell from the sky and directly hit Xihelan who was lying on the rockery.
A scream pierced through the rain and fog, and everyone was stunned, only to see a white-clothed figure rolling down the jagged rockery, falling to the ground with a bang and rolling out far away, and then lying motionless in the rain.
In the hazy rain curtain, a black shadow quietly floated out of Xi Helan. It shuttled through the rain at a very fast speed, and it was about to drift away. Who knew that it would be bound by a strange force in the next moment, and it would fall into a cloud. in the dark.
