Chapter 69: Cui Jieyu
"The concubine is dressed so delicately today, it makes the palace in a trance. The queen looked at her and said with a smile, "The concubine is a person on the stage and a candidate off the stage." ”
"It's not that I listened to the sisters in the palace praising the outstanding appearance of the show girl this time, thinking that they would not fall into fame, so they deliberately did it. Qin Yunyi said to His Majesty, "Since it is said that the heavenly immortals descend to earth, they can't be compared to have nowhere to stand." ”
"How can they compare to you. Qi Zongwen chuckled, "Even if the heavenly immortals descend to earth, then you are also Chang'e in the moon, and they are the ones who shake the fan for you." ”
"Your Majesty is so embarrassed to say that. Qin Yunyi said with a smile when he heard the satisfactory answer.
The rest of the concubines invariably turned sideways and whispered, feeling that the concubine was a little too show-off.
"The mourning family remembered that there was a beautiful show girl named Jiaoyue, so I asked her to come up and show your majesty first. The Queen Mother pretended not to know that Kyaukyue had left the palace.
The queen wanted to speak and stopped going to see His Majesty, Qi Zongwen saw that they suddenly stopped talking, so he looked at the queen strangely, "What's the matter? The queen mother wants to see Jiaoyue, so she called up to take a look." ”
"Your Majesty forgot?" said the empress, "two days ago, in Shanglin Yuan, she had been kicked out of the palace by the concubine. ”
"Oh. Qi Zongwen nodded, he turned to the Queen Mother and said, "The Son of Heaven chooses a concubine, character is important, and the choice of a concubine cannot only choose a person with empty appearance, that person collided with me in Shanglin Yuan, there are no rules, I will let the family be reinstated, and marry on their own." ”
"Did I bump into you, or did I bump into the concubine?" said the Queen Mother, she looked at Qin Yunyi and said, "The concubine is the only saint, why should she be so nervous." ”
"The Queen Mother said that she was nervous, but she was nervous. Qin Yunyi said with a smile.
"It's not too early for them to come forward one by one. The queen said.
The show girl is beautiful, and her demeanor is also moderate under the training of her grandmother, a pink shirt with water, the sideburns and tassels are shaking, and her head is lowered to expose the back of her white jade neck, which is delicate and lovely.
Rows up to say hello, if it is Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will call out if she wants to ask a few words alone, so looking back and forth at the little 100 people, it is actually a very boring thing.
After Qin Yunyi glanced at it twice, he felt a little uninterested, and focused on admiring his nails.
Those show girls with noble identities who are favored by people who are rich and have relationships are naturally ranked in the front, in case the masters are tired of looking at the front, and the ones in the back are not looking at it directly.
When Qin Yunyi's bored gaze swept around, she saw a group of show girls waiting to come forward, and the one on the edge was as quiet as an orchid, which attracted Qin Yunyi's attention.
That side face, that hanging fingertips, so familiar.
Like whom? Where have you seen it?
Qin Yunyi kept staring at her, looking at her gait, the curvature of her salute, and the voice of coming forward to report to her home, it was not a very crisp voice, but a viscous and sweet voice like honey.
"The little girl Qinghe Cui's family, the name Lehe. ”
Qinghe Choi's. Qin Yunyi's face turned white, she remembered, this inexplicable familiarity, she also knew a girl surnamed Cui in the past, but when she met, she was already a woman, and when she went to see her, she often stood on her side like this, and when she came, she would look up and smile, "My sister-in-law is here." ”
Qing and Cui Lianhua are her sisters-in-law.
Will this Choi Lehe have anything to do with her?
Qin Yunyi's hand accidentally touched the wine glass, and Qi Zongwen looked sideways and asked, "You don't like it?" If you say you don't like it, there will be no one left in this row.
"Nope. Qin Yunyi squeezed out a smile, "Your Majesty likes it, if Your Majesty likes it, I will like it." ”
Even if Qin Yunyi said this, Qi Zongwen also had a lot of meaning, but the queen leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty just said that the Son of Heaven chooses a concubine, and character comes first, this Cui Lehe, the aunt and concubine of Chu Fangdian have said it many times, saying that they are known for their virtues." ”
Qi Zongwen raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Since you are known for your virtues, then go to the inner department to be a female history. Qi Zongwen said.
Qin Yunyi looked at Cui Lehe's trembling hands when she heard the words, and tried her best not to make people lose her temper, and her sister-in-law was the same, no matter when she had never seen her lose her temper, even then, she just smiled sadly, saying that my life is like the life of a king, and the yellow spring is floating together.
Qin Yunyi blinked back her tears, and said with a smile to Qi Zongwen, "This show girl is chaste and elegant at first glance, and she is polite and self-denying. ”
"There are few such people in His Majesty's harem. ”
This is true, the concubine is favored, it is a model for harem women, the concubine is not a gentle person, and the harem concubine is much more lively.
"Why don't you stay?" Qi Zongwen asked her.
Qin Yunyi nodded.
"Then let's stay. Qi Zongwen said.
The last twenty people left behind were lined up again in front of Qi Zongwen, Qi Zongwen was different from the last time, there are now many concubines in the palace, and there are few Zhaoyi Jieyu, so the only one with a high rank is Qin Xiangxue as Qin Concubine, and the rest are Zhaoyi and Jieyu. After these people were over, the queen and the queen mother ordered ten of the remaining people to be beauties and ten to be nobles according to their own preferences.
"Your Majesty may not necessarily hold a draft in three years, so why don't you choose more people to serve this time, so that Your Majesty can be fresh for a longer time. "The queen said that in the first draft, she didn't give up, and His Majesty had more women, which was not good for her. Now that she has broken off her mind of competing for favor with her concubines, the more people there are, the better, and let them fight for their heads.
"The concubine's Ronghua Palace, can you ask someone to be your companion this time?" the queen asked Qin Yunyi.
"Her Ronghua Palace, don't place others. Qi Zongwen said it for Qin Yunyi. "Not only this time, but in the future, Ronghua Palace, will always be just the Ronghua Palace of the noble concubine. ”
"Yes. The queen laughed. If you can't give birth to a child yourself, and you are not ready to give birth to a child in your belly, then it depends on how long you can go with Your Majesty's favor.
Qin Yunyi passed Cui Lehe when she left, and did not pause, as if she didn't know that she stayed because of her.
Miaoqing helped Qin Yunyi, her face was worried, "Niangniang's hands are so cold, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
"No, I don't. Qin Yunyi said, "You go to the inner division and say, that Cui Jieyu, don't embarrass her, it's more convenient." ”
Back in Ronghua Palace, Qin Yunyi waved everyone back, and she sat in the hall alone, looking at the void, her eyes were scattered, and she didn't think about anything.
First place eight Zhaoyi, and then eleven Jieyu, in addition to Ronghua Palace, each palace has newcomers to live in, lively, the inner division is limited, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, leaking here and there, Cui Jieyu did not make silver, was divided into the Dill Palace, the main palace Song Concubine is okay, and she is from the hidden palace, as long as she does not make a big mistake, she is always stable, it is a good place, to live in the Qionghua Palace, everything is arranged properly, there is no place to go back to find the inner division.
"Jieyu has met a nobleman. Xiao Shui, the palace maid assigned by the inner division, said happily, "If someone hadn't mentioned it behind his back, the inner division wouldn't have worked so quickly." ”
"Really?" Cui Lehe looked around, on the day of the concubine, she thought that Qin Yunyi had recognized her, but except for those words, she hadn't come to look for her since, not even sent anyone.
Did she know that she might be her sister-in-law's sister and was indifferent?
Or did she not recognize her?
But no matter what it is, it's a lucky person.
"That's right. Xiao Shui said, "You look at this ornament and look extravagant, not a rag in the warehouse." And the bedding, the tent, and the fabric pattern are all new. ”
"Some of the 'new' things that have been in the warehouse for I don't know how many years. ”
Jiang Guiren came to Cui Jieyu's string, "It's still good for my sister, spacious and bright." ”
"Your room is set up?" Cui Jieyu looked at her.
"That's okay, it's messy everywhere, the concubine who points to people coming and going, I look upset, so I'll come and sit with you. Jiang Guiren said that he was familiar with Cui Lehe when he was a show girl before, and he called his sister affectionately at that time, but now he has to call his sister.
"This has a new snack from the Inner Catering Division, can you eat it?" Cui Jieyu said.
"I see that everyone else is shouting that there is a shortage of this and that, and my sister can eat snacks for this one of them. Jiang Guiren said. "Obviously, there's something good about having someone to help out. ”
"I'm lucky, they all have to use it. Cui Jieyu glanced at her palace maid and said, "Otherwise, I will be blind in the palace, where will I be free." She ignored the temptation in her words, and only gave the credit to the palace maid, "We don't have to fight with the inner secretary, we all rely on them." ”
"Yes. Jiang Guiren didn't ask.
Instead, he sighed, "Just one level of treatment makes a big difference." Sister's main room, and the other two sides of the hugging house can accommodate the east and west palace maids, I have a room, I live here, there are things and palace maids, and there is a back, a dampness, I am worried that my arms and legs will hurt after living for a long time. ”
"Drink more ginger tea every day, and soak your feet in hot water every day. Cui Jieyu said, "There is nothing to do during the day, go out for a walk more, come to me." ”
"Sister, you're so nice. Jiang Guiren was moved, "Being Jieyu didn't alienate me." ”
"We're all good sisters. Cui Jieyu said with a smile. In this harem, a Jieyu is nothing, but it doesn't matter, she is already in the palace now, everything is difficult at the beginning, she has already started.
Liang Wanhua leaned on the beauty couch with one hand on her cheek, and said nothing, "Jieyu, the diligent concubine will send pastries to you." The palace maid whispered.
"Got it, you go and thank her for me. Liang Wanhua said lightly, "You can also share the pastries." ”
She and Qin Xiangxue are fellow countrymen, and they accompanied them all the way to Beijing and entered the palace, although they said on the way that they would be rich and noble in the future, and they would share hardships and hardships, regardless of their status.
It was a real time.
Liang Wanhua stretched out her hand to hold down her chest, and when the matter came, she found that it was not so easy, she thought to herself that she was no worse than Qin Xiangxue, but one person was a concubine and one was Jieyu, there were two levels in between, and the treatment was also very different, so how could she be willing.
Jealousy bites her heart like an ant, and she has to go to her to congratulate her calmly.
In Ronghua Palace, Qin Yunyi has been a little strange for the past two days, pestering Qi Zongwen at night to prevent him from resting, "I have already asked for two times today." Qi Zongwen lay down on her and said, "Come again, you will have back pain again tomorrow." ”
"It's okay to have back pain. Qin Yunyi still had tears in his eyes, his body was paralyzed, but the hand around his neck used force, "Your Majesty wants me." ”
Until she falls asleep, tired enough that she will not have nightmares.
