Chapter 71 The Empress Dowager's Birthday Banquet Has An Accident
"What do you want to say about my plans? Can I still stay in this harem? Let me tell you, my dream is to wait until the emperor dismisses the harem, and then I can go out of the palace to do my business and be my boss. , and then I found a bunch of beautiful men as my employees, and it was so beautiful in those days."
Shangguan smiled and his eyes lit up, obviously full of longing for the future.
But these words sounded outrageous to others.
Concubine De immediately covered Shangguan Xiaoxiao's mouth, not wanting her to continue talking nonsense.
If someone with a heart could listen to this, would it be worth it?
"Sister, you can't say these words in the future. Even if you don't worry about yourself, you have to think about your family."
Shangguan smiled and said: "What am I afraid of, I dare to say this in front of the emperor. In fact, why do you say it? We all came in because of the power struggle. The emperor is also a human being. He can control who he likes and who doesn't like. Besides, with so many women in the harem, even if the emperor looks for them one by one every day, I'm afraid he won't be too busy."
"Sister." Concubine De smiled at Shangguan and was speechless.
This Concubine Xi really dared to say anything.
Shangguan smiled and knew what Concubine De was afraid of, so he said: "You are too timid, how can you fight with Concubine Liu like this? Listen to me, you can do whatever I ask you to do in the future, and it will definitely attract the emperor's attention. By the way, I heard that you can play the guzheng, I will teach you a piece of music, you can play it, and when the birthday banquet arranges another show for you, it will definitely allow you to show your face in front of the queen mother and the emperor."
"Can this work? What if the emperor thinks I did it on purpose and has an opinion on me?"
"I knew you were scared again. What do you think about? You are my friend. What's wrong with me arranging a show? Concubine Liu thought, so she can't? However, I won't let you stand alone. , This is really not good, why don't you let Mu Guiren perform a sword dance and let Xin Guiren dance for you, so that you won't look awkward."
"This……"
All three went to perform, so is she still special?
Especially dance and rhythm, in fact, the most interesting thing is dance.
Instead of letting her play the guzheng, let her dance.
This at least attracts attention.
Concubine De did not speak, but Shangguan smiled and said: "I know what you are thinking, if this performance is different, it will be attractive. The tune you play is definitely something no one else has heard before, but the dancing of Xingui may not necessarily be the case. No one's seen it. So as long as you stand out, you'll definitely stand out."
It was all for this sake, and Concubine De didn't want to give up this opportunity, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
"Trust me, and take advantage of this opportunity."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao immediately began to arrange, but Xin Guiren and Mu Guiren agreed very readily.
It seems that they also have the intention to show themselves in front of the emperor.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao met their request. Whoever made them are friends. In the future, they will inevitably need their support in this harem.
So this opportunity, Shangguan Xiaoxiao left it to her so-called own people.
……
On the day of the birthday banquet, Liu Cheng was in charge of the whole process. As a concubine, Shangguan Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't follow the busy schedule and had to sit on the spot and attend the birthday banquet with other concubines.
When those delicacies were brought to everyone, the ministers were dazzled, because they were all things they had never seen before.
Shangguan smiled in order to make the queen mother happy, but it took a lot of money to exchange for good things in the space, otherwise it would not be able to support today's scene.
Let's just say happy water.
Bingkuoluo is a must-have for cooling off in summer.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao specially prepared several boxes.
But it hurts her.
Not only the ice cola, but also the ice watermelon and ice cream, Shangguan Xiaoxiao has prepared them all.
The most powerful thing is a big cake, which Shangguan Xiaoxiao spent taels of silver in exchange for.
No way, I really can't make this thing myself, so I can only choose space exchange.
When the delicious food and wine were served and placed on the tables, the ministers felt very strange.
After all, the food in the past was one for each table, but now the food is placed elsewhere, what should they do if they want to eat it?
However, someone soon came to explain the rules, saying that as long as anyone likes to eat, they can take it themselves, or have someone take it.
This is a bit interesting. As today's old birthday star, the Queen Mother naturally takes the brunt of the plate and picks up the food.
It's really special to choose what you like.
The queen mother tasted a lot of novel dishes. If she liked it, she left it, and if she didn't like it, she didn't care.
When she took away the food, everyone else followed suit.
Unexpectedly, it was quite interesting, and everyone felt a sense of participation.
Of course, their favorite is those colorful drinks.
To this end, Shangguan Xiaoxiao also used a lot of brains.
Fortunately, the process of holding the birthday banquet went smoothly, and she did not waste her time.
Feng Lingzun looked at the queen mother eating happily, and was very happy in her heart, so she couldn't help but look at Shangguan and smiled.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiaoxiao actually took a writing brush and a small notebook and wrote something on it.
He was a little curious, so he got up and walked towards Shangguan with a smile.
Before she could get close to her, she heard her voice.
[I posted it, so many people have done market research for me, so I know what I have the most money for.Ha ha! 】
[Look, there will be amazing performances later, you must be shocked. 】
Feng Lingzun was dumbfounded.
It seems that this is a woman who got into the eyes of money.
She will keep her wealth for the rest of her life.
Feng Lingzun stepped forward and coughed: "I'm hungry too, why don't Concubine Ai go get me some food."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao immediately put away the book and said, "Your Majesty, this minister and concubine don't know what you like to eat. It's more interesting for you to choose by yourself. Look at how happy those ministers are."
"I believe Concubine Ai's recommendation. You said that the delicious food must be delicious."
Feng Lingzun stood still, Shangguan smiled helplessly, and could only obediently go over to help him get food.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao chose some food according to Feng Lingzun's usual tastes and brought it to Feng Lingzun.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "It's not good."
A dog suddenly broke in here and started running around.
Shangguan smiled and glanced at it, and immediately recognized that the dog was hers.
This is what she found in the palace. It should be a stray dog. I don't know who raised it. Later, it was abandoned. During this time, Shangguan Xiaoxiao kept the dog in the kitchen.
Didn't expect this dog to come here.
What was even more unexpected was that after eating a piece of food on the ground, it fell directly to the ground and died.
Poisoning again?
Shangguan smiled and never expected to come here.
