I was Idle and Cool Chapter 86: Weiyi

Although she was well-known in Beijing and China back then, she has now become the favorite concubine by Emperor Xiao Che's side, ranking first among the four concubines. I really think she's "virtuous".

On the contrary, everyone feared her, hated her, and feared her.

Today's palace banquet was supposed to be hosted by the queen.

But according to the ritual system, the grand ceremony of peace talks, as the mother of a country, the queen should watch the ceremony together with the emperor to show the great power of the summer.

That's why it's Wei Yi's turn.

Anyone looking at it, this is an honor second only to the empress. I should be very happy to have this job, but Wei Yi is not.

When others came to report that the Great General's wife had arrived, she had just exchanged a few words with the empress, and was using the gesture of serving tea and drinking tea to hide her impatience.

He was sitting right next to the queen, but his bearing completely overshadowed the queen.

As early as ten years ago, she was already one of the three beauties known to everyone in Beijing. Even, most people think that it is not an exaggeration to call her "the first of the three beauties".

Just because of the temperament between the eyebrows, it is far better than the other two.

It can be seen that in addition to her amazing beauty, her inner and temperament is even more unbeatable.

The truth is, it's not far off.

Apricot eyes and red lips, pink face with affection.

Exquisite facial features, no matter from which angle, you can't pick out the slightest mistake.

Under the end of the eye, which was slightly traced with Qingdai, there is a small tear mole, which instantly makes this face that is so beautiful that it does not seem to be in the world, become a bit real, and has an extraordinarily beautiful face. resolution.

Today's Wei Yi is dressed in her usual style.

The dark purple palace dress is made of brocade, with fine silver threads delineating delicate patterns of flowers, plants, phoenixes, birds, pheasants and pheasants. Because of the reclining posture at the moment, the long wide sleeves Drop down along the armrest. The light from outside shines brightly, and the cloud brocade and silver embroidery patterns are full of color.

Clouds with flowers on the temples and trembling steps are a kind of lazy grace.

It's just such a beauty, too splendid and too fiery, like flowers with brocade and oil cooking on fire, giving people a dazzling feeling that they dare not look directly.

Looking at her for the first time, Lu Jinxi felt this way.

There are very few people in the world who can give her this feeling, even Gu Juefei's appearance is perfect, it seems to be very similar to Wei Yi. Can...

Really different.

When this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but slow down.

Wei Yi's eyes turned around at this very moment.

The eyes of the two people coincidentally collided.

When she saw what she looked like now, Wei Yi's eyes showed a bit of strangeness and daze, and then a slightly mocking complexity.

Although they were both beauties in Beijing back then, she and Lu Jinxi didn't actually know each other very well.

Wei Yi was born in Tai Fu's house and was the daughter of Tai Fu Yuan's wife. Later, the younger sister Wei Xian and younger brother Wei Di from the Tai Fu Ji's house were not as good as her. How many noble girls in the capital could compare to her ?

Even the talented Sun Xuedai could only have a few words with her.

As for Lu Jinxi?

Although I have met several times, I am not the same. Wei Yi had always thought that the jewel in the palm of Lord Lu had only one face, but his temperament was mediocre and weak.

Not to mention, she later married Xue Kuang by decree and became a married woman, not to mention that she had nothing to do with each other.

Only now...

Wei Yi couldn't help but be in a trance.

Time flies, and when I think about it, it's still yesterday, but I can count with my fingers, and it has been more than ten years.

Time seems to treat people like them with special preference.

She doesn't look very old, but Lu Jinxi still looks like she used to be. But the brows, eyes and demeanor, stacked with the shadow that was already confused in memory, actually felt a big change.

Wei Yi wasn't sure if she couldn't remember, or if she had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize her.

"Madam is here."

As soon as the queen raised her eyes and saw Lu Jinxi, a kind smile appeared on her face, and she said hello first to save face.

Although Lu Jinxi felt that Wei Yi's eyes were a little strange, she had no choice but to press it down at this time.

When she heard that the queen took the initiative to talk to herself, she didn't change her mind. She walked in from the gate of the palace, walked through a long road left between the banquet halls, came to the queen and the concubine Weiyi, and bowed. salute.

"The ministers have seen the queen and all the concubines, and I wish the empress and all the concubines."

His...

As soon as she came in, everyone's eyes were on her. They only felt that although she was beautiful, she was very comfortable, and she didn't have Wei Yi's overbearing beauty.

But when these words came out, many people secretly took a deep breath!

Today's peace conference is celebrated all over the world.

On the side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the outer court, where the emperor and civil and military officials will celebrate together with the envoys of the Xiongnu; on the side of the Hall of Rouyi is the harem, where the queen and the concubines and concubines in the palace will gather for a banquet with foreign wives.

According to the rules, outside, the emperor is the biggest; inside, the queen is the biggest.

But in the world, where is the word "rule" so simple?

A fool knows that the queen in the harem will be reduced to a decoration now. Compared with Weiyi, the virtuous concubine who is popular in front of Xiao Che and is very popular in the palace, the queen is really nothing. !

Whoever comes to greet her will not take care of the queen and leave the concubine Xian.

This is a good general's wife. The word "Ladies and gentlemen" brought Weiyi, the virtuous concubine everyone feared and feared.

Someone noticed, only to feel frightened.

But no one dared to say anything more. One is that Lu Jinxi's identity is there, and the other is that the words he said when asking for peace are the default things, and it is the only thing that offends people if they say it.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was eerily silent for a moment.

Even the queen was slightly startled, and then the smile on her lips widened a bit, and she quickly said: "Madam, don't be too polite? Please take your seat soon."

"Thank you, Empress."

Lu Jinxi stood up as she said.

As soon as the courtier next to her invited her, she followed.

The positions of internal and external life women are separate.

Internal women are the concubines in the palace, from the queen onwards, headed by Wei Yi; external women are the wives and mothers of the ministers, from the queen onwards, headed by Lu Jinxi.

The position arranged for her by the queen is higher than that of Mrs. Gu Taishi's wife Tang's and Taifu's wife Dong's, and even Dingguo's wife Daji's.

A long table is placed on the right hand side of the queen.

Lu Jinxi thought that today should be a special day. When she sat down according to her words, she looked up and saw Wei Yi, who was sitting in the first place on the bottom left of the queen. She was looking at her with a bit of unconcealed thought and scrutiny in her eyes.

It seems that she is trying to figure out the intention of her just asking Ann.

And guess what?

Originally, the status of the Lu family is very high, not to mention that the queen should be respected in this occasion. She just didn't want to get involved in the mess of entering the harem, so she just spoke according to the rules.

Everywhere in the capital, Wei Yi is said to be smart and shouldn't be able to guess.

So, Lu Jinxi didn't panic at all, just smiled slightly, and looked away naturally.

It's so natural that I can't find any clues at all.

It's as if she didn't say anything special from the beginning to the end, and she didn't do anything special, and she didn't look like the concubine Xian concubine who had been told by her words.

Wei Yi tapped lightly with her slender fingers on the armrest and laughed.

People, of course, can change.

Even Lu Jinxi, who she disliked at the time, has cultivated such a quiet ability. What should those people be like back then?

The thick eyelashes like butterfly wings drooped slightly, she squinted slightly, and the moles at the corners of her eyes trembled slightly.

After all, Wei Yi didn't say anything. After watching Lu Jinxi for a while, she turned her attention back to the palace banquet at the moment, coping with other people's clinging and greetings as usual, but she couldn't see that just now. Counting episodes of episodes, it has any impact on her.

Smiling eyes are charming and exquisite.

It can be seen that her status in the palace is indeed very detached.

Like what Lu Jinxi had heard from others, the queen was a lot worse than Wei Yi in terms of origin, appearance, and temperament, and many clues could be seen from the response at the dinner.

For internal and external women, the palace banquet is a rare opportunity to make friends, so most of them are talking.

But here, Lu Jinxi is not included.

Firstly, Mrs. Lu rarely appeared on these occasions in the past, and she didn't know a few people; secondly, the queen's position in the queue for her was too high for others to speak; thirdly...

General Xue Kuang has been dead for almost six years. It's too cold to be too cold, and it's almost useless to play with her.

So, although the banquet was lively, Lu Jinxi was quiet here, as if everyone had forgotten her.

People's attention is mostly on Wei Yi.

At first, it seemed a little restrained, but as the wine began to drink, the chatter box gradually opened, and the distance between people naturally narrowed, and the topic began to turn to the few official ladies who were fortunate enough to enter the palace today.

The queen also seemed to remember it at this time, put down the wine cup, and asked with a smile: "Yes, there are a lot of official ladies coming today. Ben Gong just went to observe the ceremony and the ceremony. , Concubine Xian handled this matter, and I haven't seen it before. Where are everyone?"

This is to meet the ladies of the official family.

As soon as the Queen spoke, the ladies of the official family, who were originally at the back, quickly got up. The rules in the palace had been taught when they entered the palace, and at this moment, with a little panic, he walked out, stood in the middle, and saluted the queen.

"The ministers and daughters are waiting to greet the empress."

These official ladies were originally set by the Empress, who specially allowed a few high-quality life women to bring them in, so there were not many.

But young after all.

Most of the wives are old, and the concubines in the palace are all gorgeous, but they have passed the greenest time. Therefore, when these young girls stepped up to the hall, the entire Rouyi Hall lit up.

The expressions of the little girls are all reserved and shy.

When some concubines met, their faces became a little unnatural, and they didn't even feel like drinking and eating. Even the queen was a little complicated, but Wei Yi didn't react.

Lu Jinxi thought it was interesting and went to look at these official ladies.

She doesn't know most people, and she looks good at a glance.

It's just that when one's eyes pass over one of the figures, he can't help but raise his eyebrows slightly - isn't this the little girl from the Marquis of Kangping?

If I remember correctly, it's Xie Taoling.

I met him at the birthday banquet at the Taishi Mansion. I was teased a few times by my friends when I was enjoying the flowers in the back garden, so I got into trouble, and one of them accidentally fell in front of Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi had a very general impression of this little girl, but thought that Sun Huihui who fell down was pretty good.

This is also a very strange feeling.

Xie Taoling is wearing a tender pink today.

She is only seventeen, at the age of a girl who is as beautiful as a flower. When she wears this dress, her complexion is snow-white, her hair is thick and crow-green, and her whole person looks like a hibiscus out of water.

Standing neatly at the bottom, hands folded at the waist, really good-looking.

Among a group of official ladies, she is already the brightest among them.

After the queen told them to get up, she asked people to bring out the rewards that had been prepared for them to share. After everyone thanked them for a while, they got up again.

At this time, the queen looked at Xie Taoling and nodded her hand: "It's all the heart of this palace, you don't have to be polite. But who is the one on the left?"

Mrs. Kang Shun Hou sat in the middle. Seeing that the queen called her name, she immediately wanted to get up and give her daughter a birth name.

But I didn't expect that Xie Taoling was not slow.

After hearing the Queen's words, she took the initiative to take a step to the side and replied: "Return to the Queen's Empress, the servant Kangshun Houfu, Xie Taoling."

"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Xie's family who is now famous in the capital."

As soon as the queen heard this, she remembered. It's just that when he said the words "Famous and moving the capital", his eyes turned towards Wei Yi.

"Get up quickly. I heard that Miss Kangshun Hou's family has been around for a long time, and now she is as beautiful as a flower, demure and dignified."

Being so praised in public, Xie Taoling's cheeks suddenly turned red, as fine as a gnat, and said: "Mother's praise, how can Xiangling deserve it?"

The queen is nothing but polite words.

In fact, she met such a beautiful woman, and she was still a young girl. Maybe one day someone was going to enter the palace. How could she be happy?

She was about to return to Xie Taoling, but she didn't expect that there was a mouth below her faster than her.

"What kind of a compliment is that?"

A voice with a smile came. He was a little old, but he couldn't tell whether it was praise or ridicule. The tone was very strange.

"In today's capital, who doesn't know the beauty of Miss Xie's family? I heard people say a while ago that if the capital is today, who else can be worthy of the eldest son of the Gu family, Xie Jiaxiangling? ."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Even Lu Jinxi, who had nothing to do with him, couldn't help but his eyelids jumped. After searching for a moment in his memory, he recognized the owner of this voice, so he turned his head to take a look.

Sure enough, Dingguo's wife Daji!

She was actually sitting next to Lu Jinxi. Although she was old, her makeup was still gorgeous, for fear that others would not know that she was the queen mother's sister.

If anyone in Beijing has attended three or two banquets, who doesn't know who she is?

A mouth has never been a door, what to say, because of his high status, he has never had any scruples, and he can often be half-dead with anger.

At the time of the birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion, the Grand Master's wife, Mrs. Tang, was very angry with her.

But Lu Jinxi didn't expect that this person didn't restrain at all when he entered the palace. This is simply to see whoever slaps who, do whatever you want.

These words are fine to say in private, but they can be brought to the table...

The complexion of Mrs. Kang Shunhou has changed greatly, and even Xie Taoling, who is still young, realizes what the rosy face before became pale, and she stood there and didn't know what to say.

Many people's expressions are a little strange.

Some thoughtful, has gone to Wei Yi, who is sitting on the top left, without a trace.

She was the most beautiful woman in Beijing that year.

Because of her high background and strong personality, she did not learn the ordinary things that her daughter had learned since she was a child. Therefore, the one who got close to her was never a lady or a famous lady from any family, but Gu Juefei, the eldest son of the Gu family who was famous all over the world.

In the beginning, the capital all over the city would boast of "a man's talent and a woman's looks are a match made in heaven".

But who would have thought of that later?

A lot happened that year.

Wei Yi entered the palace at a young age, and the six palaces attracted attention; Xue Kuang sacrificed his life for the country, and the government and the opposition were shaken; Gu Juefei was inscribed on the golden list, and the name was passed down by Shilin...

In that year, one of the most widely circulated possibilities about Gu Juefei running away from the Jokhang Temple was that he was "wounded by love".

Whether they saw it or not, everyone said it with certainty—

It is said that Gu Juefei, despite the opposition of the Gu family, gave up a good future and went up to the mountain Qingxiu because Wei Yi entered the palace and was disheartened.

What the truth is, no one knows.

But no matter what, everyone knew about the friendship between Wei Yi and Gu Juefei. Not to mention, she is still a key figure in the rumors.

Although it has been a long time, Gu Juefei is back.

There are no holes.

It is said that Gu Juefei admires Weiyi, but what about the other way around?

Does this virtuous concubine, who is so favored now, really have no special feelings for Gu Juefei?

Everyone is curious, let alone such a suspicious "unsolved case".

The entire Rouyi Hall became quiet after Mrs. Dingguo's unobstructed remarks, and even the Empress closed her mouth meaningfully and did not speak.

Whether watching it or not, everyone's attention is actually on Wei Yi.

Lu Jinxi was of course also interested.

Although I don't think Gu Juefei, who is obviously full of ambition, will hide his love for his son and daughter for six years, but as another protagonist of the rumor, what about Wei Yi?

She turned her eyes and looked quietly.

Obviously, Wei Yi could also sense the change in the atmosphere in the hall.

But equally evident was her attitude, which turned out to be undisguised. With a pair of good-looking almond eyes, with a bit of mockery, they glanced at Dingguo's wife, Da Ji's, to see through the person.

At this time, on this occasion, Gu Juefei is mentioned plainly, obviously because she is not pleasing to the eye.

No wonder.

Her aunt was the late empress Wei Qiang. Before the late emperor died, she was in charge of the sixth palace. Empress Dowager Ji suffered a lot under her aunt's hands back then, how could she have no complaints in her heart?

Da Ji is Empress Dowager Ji's sister, so why don't you target her?

Just, so what?

Wei Yi looked at her, her face full of grace, she just leaned in the seat like that, didn't even move her body, and couldn't see the slightest bit of anger.

She just calmly turned her gaze to Xie Taoling and looked at her casually.

Don't say that she was very smart from the beginning, she is just an ordinary person. After many years in the palace, she should become a person when she is in this position.

How poisonous is Wei Yi's way of looking at people?

She saw it at a glance, this little girl doesn't look very good, but she really has some thoughts about Gu Juefei.

scoff.

Just her?

Wei Yi laughed in her heart, she really didn't see such a little girl's film in her eyes, she just hung up a little mockery that she didn't take back, and opened her mouth with a smile that was not a smile.

"It's rare to see the empress look at someone differently. I think it's a good idea. Come and see."

A reward?

At this moment, no one understood what Wei Yi was thinking, let alone what she meant by this move. But the look on her face has never been concealed.

A clear mockery!

Xie Taoling was surprised by the queen's first glance, and she had already flown to the sky, and when she heard the beginning of Wei Yi, she lost half of her blood.

As her legs softened, her body trembled, and she knelt back in fright!

"Virtuous, concubine virtuous, ministers, ministers' daughters..."

Wei Yi smiled beautifully: "What's the matter? Ben Gong just sees everyone complimenting you, and when I see you, I like it, and I want to reward you with something. Really, I'm scared like this, and Ben Gong doesn't eat people. "
