Chapter 70 Shangguan Xiaoxiao prepares to put the Spring Festival Gala on the stage
"How can this little trick of the concubine get into the eyes of the emperor." Concubine De said so, but she was a little surprised.
She thought that Shangguan Xiaoxiao would not help her, but she didn't expect that on this big night, she would take the initiative to let the emperor come to her.
Even if this is not really helpful, it is already a big favor.
If Shangguan Xiaoxiao is really willing to help her get the emperor's favor as she said last time, then as a condition, she will be able to protect Shangguan Xiaoxiao comprehensively in this harem in the future.
This is the decision made in the heart of the concubine.
She is not ungrateful, but for the sake of her family and herself, she had to arm herself.
It's not bad to have a snack, this is her only bottom line.
After appreciating the painting, Feng Lingzun sat for a while, but in the end, he did not stay here, but left with Eunuch Yu.
De Fei didn't say anything, but she was still a little disappointed in her heart.
She thought that the emperor would stay, but now it seems that the emperor does not like her that much.
But the emperor is willing to come to her palace, this is already a thing that can make her back straight in the harem.
Therefore, Concubine Vi did not complain about the emperor for not staying overnight, as long as she had given her enough face, she would be satisfied.
On the other hand, Shangguan smiled and heard Xiaocui say that the emperor finally left Concubine De's yard, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I thought these two would do something with the firewood and fire. It's a pity. However, as long as they come into contact with each other more, I'm not afraid that the emperor has no feelings for Concubine De. All feelings must be cultivated slowly."
Shangguan smiled and comforted himself.
the next day.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took Xiao Cui to go to the imperial kitchen, but unexpectedly ran into the concubine who came to look for her.
"Sister Xi, are you going to the imperial kitchen? Then I'll go with you."
"Why do you want to go to the imperial kitchen with me?" Shangguan smiled a little surprised.
"Thank you sister for what happened yesterday, so sister, I also want to do something for you. I know that Concubine Liu has been targeting you. Although she is now grounded, she will not be too quiet. You will need people."
The German concubine intends to reciprocate.
Shangguan smiled and said, "Well, since you want to help, then I won't be polite to you."
"Where are you going? Don't call us in whatever you do, and do you still consider us friends?" At this time, Concubine Mu and Mrs. Xin also came, and Concubine Mu was slung on her waist in a splendid manner, her hair stunned. She combed it in a bunch, but it suits her better.
Shangguan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come too, wouldn't you want to help me?"
"Yeah, I just want to help you. I heard that Concubine Liu has hurt you three or four times, and the emperor has decided for you. We usually get a lot of food and drink from you, no matter how you need help. Can you help me when it’s time? Otherwise, we won’t be able to go to your palace next time to eat.”
"Yeah, that's what I mean too." Mrs. Xin said shyly.
Seeing them so enthusiastic, Shangguan smiled and was very moved.
However, as the saying goes, there is no need to have the heart to harm others, and the heart to guard against others is indispensable.
Are these three really helping her or have other purposes?
Who made this harem a complicated place that no one can trust.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao did not dare to waste time with his helper, and hurriedly took them to the imperial kitchen.
Liu Cheng had been waiting for Shangguan to smile, and when he saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet her.
Shangguan smiled and did not shy away from it. After all, the two were upright and fair, and they didn't do anything sneaky.
"Niangniang, you haven't finished what you said yesterday, so now..."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was actually ready, and she handed a few drawings to Liu Cheng.
"Master Liu, I believe that most people don't know these herbs. I have also asked the imperial doctor, but they don't know. So I drew a picture and you can help me find it. The specific herbs may grow in Where, I also wrote clearly."
Liu Cheng glanced at it and found that the herbs on it were really unfamiliar.
"Is it really a medicinal material that even the imperial physician doesn't know?"
"Of course, this is what I got from an expert. He has traveled abroad and has traveled many places. He is a very powerful doctor. In short, you can find it for me according to the picture above. If you collect it, I will owe you. A favor, if you need my help in the future, you can tell me."
Shangguan smiled and patted Liu Cheng's chest to assure, which surprised a few people behind her.
She has such a good relationship with Liu Cheng?
This is really baffling.
After all, the Liu family and the Shangguan family never dealt with each other.
In order not to cause trouble for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Liu Cheng stayed for a while and left immediately.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao assigned tasks to several people.
Then make a final check on the preparations for this birthday banquet.
Xiaocui came over when Shangguan smiled and checked the recipe.
"Niangniang, those singers and dancers are here, waiting for you to check the results."
Shangguan smiled and said: "The time is urgent, and I don't know how they are preparing. No, I have to watch a rehearsal in advance, but don't mess up several shows by then."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took Xiaocui to the performance hall, and all the people she recruited did indeed arrive.
In this short period of time, Shangguan Xiaoxiao produced five programs, in addition to the original song and dance performance, as well as this drama and edited sketches.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao copied all the Spring Festival Gala shows of her era.
As long as the performance is excellent, it will definitely make everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
At that time, as long as the queen mother is happy, the reward will definitely be indispensable.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked these people to perform once in the order of appearances agreed upon before, but she did not expect the effect to be even better than she thought.
"Not bad, I'll perform like this tomorrow. As long as the Queen Mother is happy, the reward will definitely be indispensable. All cheer me up, go back tonight and have a good rest. If you delay the big event, I'm afraid you will have to eat and go."
After Shangguan smiled and praised him, he said all about the great relationship again.
Everyone nodded in understanding, and then dispersed.
Shangguan smiled when he came out of the performance hall and saw De Fei standing outside.
"what happened?"
"Sister Xi Concubine is really a fantastic idea. I just took a look at it and thought it was amazing."
Shangguan smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the main event, and Concubine Liu must not be allowed to make trouble again, otherwise in this harem, no one of us will have a better life."
Concubine De heard what Shangguan smiled, and said, "Don't worry, sister, I can still tell which one is more important. It's better for you and me to be nice to everyone. Concubine Liu has always been intolerant of people in the harem. If you let her gain power. , I'm afraid there will be no peace in the harem."
"You know it's good. Anyway, I won't compete with anyone for the emperor. My motto is to live my own life well, which has nothing to do with men."
Concubine De was a little surprised: "Sister, are you serious?"
"Naturally."
"But our women don't just take men as their gods, and the women in the palace are even more so. If you don't want to be favored by the emperor, then you..."
