Chapter 174: Competing for favor
Min Jieyu was born in Liang County, a native of Songcheng County, her father is a tried-and-true talent, since she was a child, she was taught by her father to chant poetry, recitation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when she was already a famous talent in Liang County, and there is an undescriptible posture to allow people to ask for relatives simply stepped through the threshold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's a pity that Min Jieyu had bad luck, and her fiancé died before she could pass the door after three marriages. Since then, she has gained a reputation as a Kefu, no matter how amazing and beautiful she is, there are few people who are not afraid of death who dare to come to the door to propose, and even if there is, she also takes the opportunity to pick up the cheapest. Rather than marrying her daughter into such a family, Min Xiucai would rather raise her daughter for the rest of her life.
Min Jieyu's family affairs were delayed in this way, until she was recommended by the local county magistrate at the age of twenty to the Zhongyong Marquis family who were looking for beauties everywhere, and finally entered the harem.
In terms of appearance, whether it is the most favored Min Jieyu or several other beauties, they are not as good as Duguxiu. But in terms of temperament, Duguxiu, who has been begging for a life under Xiao Yang's since he was a child, is much inferior to Min Jieyu, who is full of poetry and books. Especially the latter's demure and elegant, cold and arrogant temperament is something that Duguxiu, who is used to looking at people's eyes and pleasing people, does not have, but he looks like the first queen.
Human nature is a little cheap, even the Ninety-Five Supreme is the same. The emperor's side of the carriage angered Duguxiu because of Xiao's provocative words, but the other side of the carriage fell for Min Jieyu, who treated him as cold as the first queen, and Duguxiu, who was petty and attentive, ignored it and spoiled Min Jieyu to the sky.
Just because Min Jieyu loves orchids, the emperor ordered orchids to be planted all over the imperial garden, and even ordered people to go to the people to search for famous products. Min Jieyu was in the limelight for a while, and even the imperial concubine Duguxiu, who had favored the harem alone in the past year, had been divided with most of her favor since she entered the palace, and when the palace people were privately discussing whether the imperial concubine with the beauty of the country was defeated by Min Jieyu, a talented woman who knew the innocence of the family, because of her illegitimate identity as an illegitimate daughter, Shujing Hall suddenly spread the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant.
When the little eunuch of Shujing Hall reported the good news to the emperor, he was listening to Min Jieyu caressing the qin in the Caisi Courtyard, and by the way, he watched Ye Meiren dance with the sound of the piano.
Xu is too comfortable, when he heard the news that Duguxiu was pregnant, he was stunned for half a cup of tea before he came back to his senses, and got up in surprise and wanted to go to Shujing Hall to visit Duguxiu.
"Congratulations Your Majesty!" Min Jieyu saw the opportunity the fastest, with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, neither flattering nor forced to smile, just right to express her congratulations, but quite a bit of virtuous and generous style.
The emperor looked at her, and the smile on his face that was already surprised became more and more cheerful, and he said "good" three times in a row, and immediately ordered to reward Min Jieyu with a rosewood magnolia pattern mirror heart screen.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng's two beauties also hurriedly piled up their faces full of joy, and said hello to the emperor in unison, and each received a reward of a mud gold peony pattern rhombus fan.
Sending away the emperor who was in a hurry to visit Duguxiu in Shujing Palace, Ye Meiren changed her smile and said to Min Jieyu with jealousy: "The imperial concubine is really lucky, this pregnancy will drag His Majesty's heart back, and I don't know when we will have such a blessing?"
"My sister is deeply blessed, there will be a dream bear that day, why be anxious?" Min Jieyu couldn't hear the provocative meaning in Ye Meiren's words?
But Sheng Meiren didn't know what the two of them had to say, and when she heard the words, she joked on the side: "That's it, Sister Min is not in a hurry, sister, what are you anxious about?"
"I'm not in a hurry. Ye Meiren was talking to Sheng Meiren on her face, but her eyes glanced at Min Jieyu intentionally or unintentionally.
If it weren't for Min Jieyu knowing that Sheng Meiren has always been simple and scheming, she would have thought that she was teaming up with the Ye family to satirize herself. Fortunately, Min Jieyu has been familiar with women's rings and women's rules since she was a child, and her idol is Ban Jieyu, even if she is a little disappointed in her heart, she is happy for the emperor but it is real, and Yu Ye Meiren's ridicule is not taken to heart. Wen Yan just smiled generously, "Okay, let's not be red here, I can't envy the blessings of the imperial concubine, it's better to think about what gifts to prepare to congratulate the mother, it is also our heart." ”
When it came to gift-giving, Sheng Meiren suddenly came to her senses, and discussed with Min Jieyu and Ye Meiren with great interest what to give. couldn't instigate, and Ye Meiren didn't dare to tear her face with Min Jieyu, so she had to use the topic of the Sheng family to expose the unhappiness between the two of them.
Besides, Shujing Palace, the emperor got the news and hurried to visit Duguxiu, a change from the previous period of time if you are leaving, lukewarm, the emperor is at the moment with a gentle look holding Duguxiu, who is dressed in a homely dress, sitting on the soft couch of Shujing Palace, one hand on Duguxiu's still flat lower abdomen, with an indescribable longing in his eyes, carefully instructed Duguxiu to be careful to sit up, what needs in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation even if he instructed the palace province, if there is something that cannot be done, he will directly say to him, do not wronged yourself.
Duguxiu snuggled in his arms, her face full of gratitude, as if she was the happiest woman in the world. is sad in her heart, just because she knows better than anyone else that all the favor of the man holding herself is not for her, not even for the flesh and blood in her womb. Whether it is her or her child, it is just the shadow that the emperor is looking for because he misses the first queen, and when he can't find comfort in her shadow, he can find another shadow, and even this favor is not unique, and it may be snatched away at any time!
"How can a poor concubine be so squeamish? Everything is according to the rules of the palace, how can your majesty be criticized for the poor concubine?" Duguxiu was sad in her heart, but she was more sober than ever, even if she was just a shadow, even if the emperor's favor was illusory, now she was isolated and helpless, until she could control her own destiny and grasp the life and death of others!
Duguxiu has never seen the first queen, but he has heard that the first queen is generous and virtuous, and he always thinks that it will not be wrong to follow the path of those virtuous queens in the history books. How did she know that the first empress would never say such a thing to the emperor, since she entered the palace at the age of seventeen and was nineteen years old, the words that the first empress said to the emperor in two years can be counted on ten fingers. Although she entered the palace, her heart followed her lover, what kind of leniency and virtuous virtue? That is because she is indifferent to everything, no matter what mistakes the palace people make, she has nothing to do with herself, no matter whether she asks or punishes, such a master is naturally "lenient." As for virtue, no matter how much the emperor favored the Xiao family or other concubines, the first queen treated them equally, and no matter how arrogant the favored concubines were, the first queen also turned a blind eye, which is probably a kind of "virtuousness......
Small Theatre:
Gong Renjia (broke the plate): "Niangniang forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it." ”
Empress Xian (out of her mind): Cousin, have you eaten?
Concubine A (showing off): "This is the poor concubine who slept last night, and His Majesty rewarded the Chiba red gold peony inlaid with red treasure hairpin, does the mother look good?"
Empress Xian (continue to be distracted): Cousin, do you have enough clothes to wear?
Everyone: The queen is really lenient and virtuous......
