After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 159
The winter in central Beijing is not as cold as in Wuzhou, and it cools down very quickly. Even this season is longer than that in the south.Luomeixuan's charcoal fire never stopped.

The palace servants of Luomeixuan received the palace servants who brought the charcoal fire, and found a place to store it.

The two maidservants put down the bamboo baskets, and the one in the cherry pink jacket sighed, "Winter is just beginning, and His Majesty is so close to Luo Meixuan. The few of us waiting are also covered."

"No, I'm afraid that the white girl in the Compassionate Ning Palace will be envied." The other patted the ashes on his hands, "But she is so exclusive, why don't you see her being promoted again, but she has always been called the Chonghua Palace." Suppressed."

The one in the cherry pink jacket made a silent gesture, and said in a tense tone, "Master has a close relationship with that empress, don't talk nonsense."

It's hard to find a sunny day today, the Queen Mother summoned a group of concubines to go to the theater to watch the play.

Ruan Yuyi put on a feather-forged cloak and went out, just as people from the imperial dining room brought food.

The little eunuch smiled, his face full of joy, as if it was a great thing to bring her something, "My lord, Your Majesty ordered the slave to bring this flat food, you can go there after you use it."

Mu Xiang took the food box.Ruan Yuyi opened it, stirred it with a spoon, and the flat food inside collided and swam like pearls and jade.

She looked at the little eunuch, "Why did you suddenly make this and send it here?"

He put his hands down and smiled, "My lord, it's winter solstice, why don't you have to eat this?"

She was in a trance for a moment.It turned out that it was the winter solstice, and it was some time since she entered the palace.No matter how good or bad these days are, they still pass by, regardless of favors or waiting for others.

——I don't know if Aniang has also made this flat food, and what happened recently.

The broken silver she rewarded sent the little eunuch away.

The flat food in the porcelain bowl was full, so she thought about sharing it with Mu Xiang Mu Ling.

Mu Xiang turned around, knocked on the door and came in, "Miss, I don't know where this wood spirit has gone, but I didn't see her. The slaves asked, and the people around said they hadn't seen her."

She rubbed her hands together, and Fang felt that the meridians in her hands became more active.I don't know what kind of theater fan the Queen Mother is. In this cold and cold day, people in the palace have to go to accompany her to suffer from the wind.

Ruan Yuyi didn't think much, just said, "Then leave some for her."

Mu Xiang answered in a loud voice, "When she comes back, the servant will definitely talk to her, it's really more frivolous."

When they arrived at the theatre, several concubines were seated, all of them well-dressed, but the queen mother was nowhere to be seen.

She tucked her hands into the wide sleeves, which was quite warm.Originally it was said that it came with sleeves, but suddenly I thought that the concubine next to me didn't use it. If she was the only one who used it, she would inevitably be criticized.

So I gave up.

Naturally, Bai Zhiqi also came, she sat in the middle seat, waved to Ruan Yuyi, pinched her soft voice, "Sister Ruan, come quickly, I have a seat for you."

Ruan Yuyi looked around, and found that because there are really few concubines in the palace, there is a lot of space here, where she is needed to reserve a place.

She didn't point out Bai Zhiqi, she just refused in a gentle voice.Turning his head to meet Concubine Shu's eyes, he closed his cloak and sat down beside her.She breathed a sigh of relief, and hid her hands in her sleeves again.

Concubine Shu glanced at her sideways, and chatted with her naturally, "It's a strange day this year, it's getting colder faster than usual."

"It wasn't like this in the past?" She didn't grow up in Beijing like Concubine Shu and the others, so she didn't know much about it.

Concubine Shu twirled the bracelet on her wrist, "Your sister is from the Southern Province, right? You don't need feather training at this time of year."

Although it was sunny, the sunlight that fell down was as moist as water, and it couldn't carry any warmth.

The two chatted back and forth, from the cold weather to the flat food of the solstice.

She took the time to find out more about the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.His lips pursed, and he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.Concubine Shu never said that there was anything that shouldn't be put there, and she just asked her to send it to His Majesty, and it was her own guesswork from the beginning to the end.

Asking now, it will spoil the atmosphere.

Just as he was thinking about it, a maid in the palace brought the brochure, saying that it was Miss Bai who wanted them to play.

Ruan Yuyi frowned slightly upon hearing this.According to etiquette, before the queen mother arrives, even if they only obey the word "filial piety", they should not order first.This Bai Zhiqi is the Empress Dowager's niece, so she is naturally more affectionate and self-willed.

And if they moved first, the queen mother might suspect that they were disrespectful and would get angry.

Concubine Shu can also be regarded as half of the lord of the first palace, how can she not understand this truth, "Put it back first, and it won't be too late to order later."

When he got the words, the palace man went back to answer.

Not long after, Bai Zhiqi led them over again.She bowed slightly as a salute, "Sisters, why don't you give your younger sister some face? It's only fair for everyone to share."

Ruan Yuyi said softly, "We have to wait for the Empress Dowager to come."

I don't know if Bai Zhiqi really didn't understand the reason, or if she had to make things difficult for her, she actually felt aggrieved, "My sister despises me, and also thinks that I'm no different from moths when I stay in the palace and eat and wear for nothing. I just don't want to deal with it."

There are indeed such rumors in the palace.

She vaguely thought of herself in Cheng's house.At that time, she stayed in her own courtyard and didn't know what was going on outside, and gossip and gossip were inevitable.

Concubine Shu's voice brought her back to her eyes, "You are worrying too much. The empress dowager's niece is not allowed to be criticized by others. I don't point it out. It is to save face for the empress dowager. What are you talking about?"

Concubine Shu kept her voice calm, her gaze resolutely not wandering, and the gold hairpin and jade hairpin on her hair seemed to be shining with a captivating light.

Bai Zhiqi knew that she was in a high position, so he was a little afraid of her.Her lips muttered a few times, but she couldn't reply a word, so she had to turn around and leave, with the skirt rippling under her body like flowers.

On the stage, people from the troupe fiddled with the props back and forth, and there were also a few people in costumes gesturing to each other and facing the playbook.

The Empress Dowager lost her power, she always liked to put on airs about these trivial matters, she waited a long time for a few concubines to come, and even the theater troupe came to inquire several times.

All the people got up and saluted one after another.

The violent concubine was already upset, and she spat secretly, "It's time to show off her power. If it wasn't for the sake of the eldest princess, His Majesty would have deposed her long ago."

The servant girl standing beside her lowered her hands and lowered her eyes, not daring to speak.

The Empress Dowager took her seat for some play, and it took another quarter of an hour before it could be regarded as the beginning.

The Empress Dowager herself puts her head above the concubine's in the word love, and when it comes to plays, she also prefers some playbooks of talented scholars and beautiful ladies.The upper part is babbling and singing, while the lower part is watching quietly.

The Huadan who played the role of a girl on the stage was actually about the same as Xiaosheng, with a slender figure, a graceful figure and a beautiful face.As soon as he walked up from the side, needless to say, he knew he was the protagonist.
