Chapter 114 Clothes

Xia Tong found another couch to lie down on this house. Fortunately, this Zen room was spacious enough, and the two beds were arranged side by side did not feel crowded. The reason why she didn't find another Zen room was that it was late at night and it was not free to mobilize the troops; the other was that she was not convenient to leave because of the emperor's situation, so she ignored the Buddhist rules.

Jiang Bilan asked Xia Tong to stay in the emperor's room nearby, and couldn't help but grit her teeth, "I knew she was not at ease. Now that Your Majesty is at ease, her charming spirit is offended again."

A young sister who served her said timidly: "Miss Chen and His Majesty did not stay on the same bed, but had another pillow mat."

Besides, what can she do as a woman with body? Even if she is not afraid of the sins of gods and Buddhas, she must also take care of the children in her womb.

Jiang Bilan snorted: "She? She has many tricks."

The fool believed that this fairy slept with the emperor every day but did nothing. The emperor was so obsessed with her. I don’t know what method she used - to keep His Majesty even at the risk of miscarriage. There was such a scattered woman in the world. How could she be a parent?

The aunt heard her chattering and belittle the Empress Chen next door, and couldn't help but feel a little harsh. The Buddha said, what is in his heart and what is he seeing in his eyes? Is this Jiang Zhaorong really full of thieves and prostitutes?

It seems that these people are not here to worship Buddha. My sister-in-law's heart is a little weaker. She will not do their own things. Let these men and women in the world solve the problem by themselves!

Jiang Bilan didn't sleep all night, but got up early the next day. After dressing up, she planned to apologize to the emperor. She had a bad impression of the night, so she deliberately washed all the hair so that her cousin could see her light makeup and give her some love.

Unfortunately, she failed to meet the emperor successfully. Xia Tong came out yawning, "Sister is early."

Jiang Bilan looked at her appearance carefully, and saw that there were no red marks sucking from behind her ears and on her neck. She felt a little relieved and said, "Your Majesty is here? I'm about to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

As he said that, he was about to step forward.

Xia Tong stopped her with a smile, "Although Your Majesty is awake, he has no time to see you."

Jiang Bilan frowned, "Why?"

I can't help but suspect that Xia Tong deliberately instigated, how much slander did he make last night?

Xia Tong looked at her with a look of "Did you have no idea in your heart?", which made Jiang Bilan's face look hot, "Does my sister really need me to tell me clearly?"

The reason why the emperor didn't want to see her is naturally self-evident. Last night, she almost scared the emperor out of illness. The emperor's crime of not curing her was fine. How could he see this plague god again?

Although the smile on the other person's face was as gentle as the spring breeze, Jiang Bilan read a clear sarcasm from it. She thought that her daughter, the Jiang family, had never suffered such humiliation before, so she turned around angrily and planned to leave with her sleeves.

Xia Tong called her, "Wait, Your Majesty has another word to tell me."

Jiang Bilan couldn't help but stop. Even though she knew that the other party was going to stab her bloody wound, she would not want to miss it even if she had one in ten thousand hopes.

Just as An Ru came to invite the emperor to have a meal in a neat manner, Xia Tong said, "Eunuch An, please say it."

An Ruhai did not refuse this offending job. Anyway, he was a close minister of the emperor, so it was appropriate to convey the holy hearing, so he smiled at Jiang Bilan, "Master Jiang, now your position has been demoted from Zhaorong to Jiexian. Your Majesty has told you to cut off the servants of Linzhi Palace before the New Year. You can do it."

Jiang Bilan was about to have an attack, but An Ruhai smiled and finished the attack: "Of course, you can just make trouble with the Queen Mother, but if His Majesty knows, even Concubine Jie can't be regarded as a concubine. Think about it carefully."

Jiang Bilan's originally vivid complexion suddenly became like the dead leaves in autumn. Because her lips were quite light today, she looked even more haggard and upset.

Xia Tong had no time to give cheap sympathy. Speaking of which, Jiang Bilan's relegation these few times was not related to her. She was purely asking for help. It was good that she didn't go to the scene and put down the wrong person.

The atmosphere during breakfast was extremely strange, unlike the meals in various palaces that were done by themselves. Jingci Temple was not that big, and because monks and nuns advocated simplicity, they did not have the habit of having small kitchens alone, they cooked in big pots.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Xia Tong with great dislike. She was actually drinking hot chicken soup, and the emperor advised her to drink more!

Due to an incident last night, Empress Dowager Jiang did not sleep well and was already angry. How could she tolerate such a bastard? "Concubine Xia Chen, Buddhism should avoid eating meat, why do you ignore the rules?"

Even her mother-in-law abides by the precepts in a straightforward manner. As a daughter-in-law, she does not take the elders as an example. She is so greedy for enjoyment, which shows that she is a prodigal seedling.

Xia Tong was about to get up and accused him, but Liu Zhang pressed her to tell her not to care. He said to Empress Dowager Jiang with an innocent look on his face: "Concubine Chen is pregnant, and she should also take care of the emperor's heir in her belly. Does the mother have the heart to see your grandchildren starve?"

Empress Dowager Jiang thought to herself that she would not starve to death without eating meat. She had never seen such a spoiled person, but she could not speak vulgarly like a shrew in the market, so she said coldly: "If she can't live with it, she can go back, and no one wants her to come."

Liu Zhang was a little angry, "If Concubine Xia Chen hadn't been sleeping and taking care of me for a night last night, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't even meet me. Is this a bowl of chicken soup a luxury for such a reward?"

Empress Dowager Jiang saw Xia Tong's rosy complexion, white and spiritual face, and how she looked like she was sleepless? She said that she pulled the emperor back from the gate of hell, just to be a fool, so she didn't believe that the emperor was sick to the point of being sick.

But Xia's luck was so good that she happened to relieve the emperor's head. Empress Dowager Jiang could only swallow her anger and admit that she had made a contribution.

But trivial searches are indispensable. "Even so, you shouldn't let the nuns help you clean up. If the hands of monks are covered with blood, wouldn't it be a breaking the precepts and destroying their Taoism?"

The emperor rolled his eyes brightly, "I killed the chicken myself, and I also ordered An Ru to wash the hair from the sea and stew it with copper stew. I didn't bother the monks at all, but I borrowed some of their oil and salt. Is this a sin? According to my mother, you should not even wear silk clothes. I don't know how many mulberry silkworms will die to weave this piece!"

Empress Dowager Jiang:...

She said something that the emperor wanted to say ten words, but it didn't look like a filial son? But every word was reasonable, which made her unable to refute it even if she wanted to refute it.

Finally, I had to eat some simple rice in silence - I have to say that the chicken soup was stewed very fragrant, but unfortunately, Empress Dowager Jiang had just spoken, and it was difficult for her to change her words now, so she could only watch Xia Tong eat alone.

After the three days of the ritual, the emperor and others all lost a lot of money. Xia Tong looked at her and became fatter. It was the emperor who nourished her body with chicken soup and elbows and ox bones every day. Xia Tong felt guilty when she ate it.

However, when she saw that those sisters might not be devoted to practicing Taoism, she almost drooled down when she served her soup, which showed that she was also greedy.

Therefore, the so-called "Empress Dowager Jiang's "removing disasters and resolving disasters" is purely nonsense. How can this temple have a little bit of fairy spirit? Even if there is, it is overwhelmed by the aroma of chicken soup.

However, this fasting trip is quite good as a placebo. People in the palace say that there are fewer ghosts and they can sleep at night. Maybe those rumors were spread by Jiang Bilan on purpose.

Unfortunately, she couldn't lose the rice. Seeing Jiang Zhaorong come back from the palace and become a concubine, the curiosity of the palace people was greatly aroused, and they tried their best to find out what the empress had made and why she was demoted again and again by the emperor?

Jiang Bilan was embarrassed and angry, naturally unwilling to mention it. Xia Tong only said to the outside world that Concubine Jiang could not serve the emperor well. As for what kind of service method, everyone could think of it.

If anyone would be happy about this, it would be Feng Yuzhen. The former arrogant concubine has now fallen to the point of being on par with her. Unfortunately, Jiang Bilan closed her door to thank the guests, otherwise Feng Yuzhen would have really wanted to congratulate her, and see if this concubine dared to show off in front of her.

Xia Tong looked at Feng Yuzhen's arrogant look. Although it was worth it for Liu Fang, who was infatuated, there was something respectable about women like Feng Yuzhen - she would never hurt herself, and would get up quickly if she fell down. In a sense, it was really inspiring.

Xia Tong herself was also very inspiring. It was immediately her official title of concubine. Any wife of the first to third rank would come to Guanju Palace to pay tribute to her. This was not like the concubine who used the power of the emperor, but was just accepting the worship of everyone.

She could even imagine that the expression on Mrs. Jiang’s face must be very exciting.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made the dress, which is a vermilion-colored dark dress, luxurious and mezzanine, taking into account the dual effects of beauty and warmth.

Even Ping Gu, who had seen many good things, couldn't help but exclaim, "When Jiang was named the Imperial Concubine, he didn't have such a show. Because His Majesty ascended the throne, everything was simple, and he still used the clothes he had when the Empress Dowager was appointed as the concubine in the past."

But when he arrived at Xia Tong, the emperor would rather have trouble than give in. It can be seen that whether a man is attentive is really obvious in different objects.

Xia Tong stroked the smooth fabric and felt very emotional, especially the dress was very fit. Considering that her slightly raised belly and waist were widened, it did not look bloated when worn on her, but formed a smooth transition, making her look very beautiful in every move.

Chunlan urged, "Empress, give it a try."

Xia Tong turned around in front of the mirror, and she almost fell in love with her. She was so beautiful. She suddenly had a sudden idea of ​​what would happen if she turned it over and wore it, just like a modern popular double-sided dress, and she was not afraid of dirtying the outer layer.

Perhaps the embroidery workshop really took this into consideration. The satin fabric inside was also exquisitely embroidered and had a flat texture. Even if this dress was not a dual purpose, they were unwilling to miss any details that no one could pay attention to.

Xia Tong couldn't help but exclaim that the clothes worn by wealthy families in ancient times were actually not much worse than the so-called high-end customs of foreign designers, and even better in workmanship.

Pinggu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the pattern on the clothes, he frowned.

Xia Tong said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Ping Gu carefully turned the piece inside out and extended it to the golden tail feather on the pattern. "Why do I think this dress is not embroidered with phoenixes, but Zhai Feng?"
