Chapter 171: Concubine Wei
Before the Shen family fell and Empress Shen was still alive, Qin E often went to the palace with her mother to ask for peace.
At that time, she was still young, with a double bun, and she tried her best to sneak out to play. When she met the county lord of Jianing, she sneaked out to play and ran into Jianing, who also slipped out.
Qin E walked in the narrow corridor, looking at the bricks and tiles on both sides, giving birth to a sadness of the vicissitudes of the world.
How many people and things have disappeared, but only this red brick and thick tile is still immovable like a mountain under the wind and rain.
Every bit is a tear.
Qin E's thoughts about appreciating the flowers were even lighter, and she followed the team to stop and go, little by little.
Hui Niang suddenly pinched her arm, "Look, those people are this year's first-class jinshi, and your eldest brother and second brother are also there." ”
Qin E rubbed her arm and looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a group of people standing faintly in the depths of the flowers. Stretching out his head to take a closer look, he saw Qin Yun and Qin Xiao standing in the crowd.
"Your eyes are so good, so far away, I can't even count the people, and you can still see who it is. Hey, what are you blushing for?"
Hui Niang gently pushed her and said angrily: "You didn't even see your brother, but laughed at me." ”
Qin E caught a glimpse of Li Lu, this peacock-like figure has its own aura no matter where it is, which is really hard to ignore.
At this moment he was talking to a young man who was dressed in a cotton robe, and he was more and more rich and luxurious, and his clothes were shabby.
But this young man looked introverted, behaved calmly and generously, and had no embarrassment and inferiority at all, but showed more temperament.
Qin E pointed at him and quietly asked Hui Niang, "Who is that person?"
Hui Niang looked at it on tiptoe and said, "I don't recognize it, it doesn't look like it's from the capital." ”
"He is the leader of this year, Qin Ping. ”
The two of them were startled, and saw the county lord of Jianing coming over with people, standing beside them, looking at the other side and saying, "Yuan Niang, you are really, he lives in your house, but you don't recognize it." ”
Qin E said in her heart, it turned out that he was Qin Ping. It was the first time she had seen this person. This kind of bearing is worthy of his legend.
Qin E was looking curiously, Li Lu, who was talking to Qin Ping, suddenly looked at her, Qin E was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Hui Niang.
At this time, a ceremonial eunuch came over and sang loudly: "The noble concubine has arrived." ”
Everyone hurriedly got to the sides and knelt down.
Qin E heard a gentle warbler cry above her head, but with a majestic voice from far and near, "When did Jianing arrive, I'm looking for you everywhere?"
This voice Qin E is very familiar with, it is the concubine Wei Guifei who is now the favorite harem.
Jianing replied: "I just arrived, and I saw that it was lively, so I came over to take a look." ”
Wei Guifei said: "Get up, enjoy the flowers today, don't be restrained." ”
Everyone thanked one after another, Qin E took a quick look, and saw that Wei Guifei was wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, surrounded by a group of people, with a beautiful demeanor and charming.
Qin E quietly took a few steps back and stood behind everyone.
Wei Guifei suddenly asked, "Is the eldest lady of the Qin family here?"
Everyone looked at her one after another, but Qin E couldn't, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed her head and said, "Courtier Qin E, I've seen the noble concubine." ”
"Look up and let Hongu take a look. ”
Qin E slowly raised her head and faintly heard the sound of gasping.
Concubine Wei's gaze was fixed on her face, and she didn't move for a long time.
A layer of goosebumps slowly developed on Qin E's back.
Wei Guifei suddenly smiled: "What a handsome face, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Yuan Niang is even more beautiful." Your mother was overwhelmed by the country back then, but she didn't expect her daughter to be inferior. Wait a few more years, and you'll be better than your mother's demeanor. ”
Qin E lowered her head and said: "The qualifications of the courtiers are shallow, and they dare not inherit the reputation of their mothers." ”
Wei Guifei said with a smile: "If you have shallow qualifications, how can others live?" This morning, the emperor mentioned that the Qin family was still full of spring breeze, and praised the Qin family for its rigorous governance and talent. I didn't expect the daughter of the Qin family to be so brilliant, Qin Shaoqing is really a blessing. ”
She plucked a peony flower golden hairpin from her head and personally put it on Qin E's bun. "This is what the emperor rewarded me a few days ago, and I brought it to you for the first time today. The peony is an oiran, just right for you. ”
Qin E knelt down and thanked her, "Thank you for the reward." ”
After Wei Guifei left, Qin E slowly straightened up, and the clothes on her back were already wet.
Looking around, all I saw were unkind looks.
Hui Niang asked her in an uneasy whisper, "Are you okay?"
Qin E shook her head, "I'm fine." But her heart was like a thousand pounds of pendant, heavy and breathless, and the golden hairpin on her head was like a thousand pounds, so that she could not lift her head.
Following the guidance of the female official, everyone came to Tianyin Pavilion to listen to the play, Qin E and Huiniang sat in the corner, Qin E said apologetically: "Because of me, you are even more neglected." ”
Hui Niang smiled: "Who cares about them." After looking at it for a while, Hui Niang said, "I'll go to the official room." ”
Qin E originally wanted to go with her, but after thinking about her identity and situation, she felt that it was better to stay honestly, so she said, "I'm waiting for you here." ”
The most famous immortal class in the capital is singing on stage, and every move and style is beautiful and intoxicating.
Qin E was listening carefully, and a palace maid ran to her and stuffed a handkerchief to her, "Miss Qin, Miss He asked me to come to you." ”
Qin E's expression tightened, "What's wrong with her?"
"Miss He accidentally soiled her skirt, let me go to you and think of a way. ”
Qin E looked at Hui Niang's handkerchief, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The two of them crept out the back door and headed straight into the garden. The palace maid's footsteps were fast, Qin E followed behind her, and asked softly, "Where is Miss He?"
The palace maid said as she walked: "In the warm pavilion where you change clothes, you will arrive after walking forward for a while." ”
Qin E looked around and slowly stopped. The palace maid urged her: "Why don't Miss Qin leave, Miss He is waiting in front." ”
Qin E said: "I suddenly thought that it wouldn't work in the past like this, so let's go back and call the county lord of Jianing first and ask her to help think of a way." ”
"The county lord is accompanying the noble concubine to listen to the play, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go to her, let's go over with me to see Miss He first, she must be in a hurry." ”
Qin E smiled: "This sister is really enthusiastic, dare to ask where she is on an errand, what to call it?"
The palace maid said politely: "I'm just a little palace maid who sprinkles and sweeps, and I happened to meet Miss He and help run errands." Miss Qin, don't delay, let's go. ”
Qin E looked at her and didn't move, "There is only one warm pavilion near Tianyin Pavilion where you can change clothes, which is on the west side of Tianyin Pavilion. But you led me all the way north, to this garden where there is no one, what do you want to do?"
The palace maid's face changed, and she stammered: "Miss Qin is mistaken, the front is indeed a warm pavilion for changing clothes." ”
Qin E sneered: "I have to come here to listen to three or four plays a year, where is there anything clear, you don't have to quibble." Say, who told you to trick me over? Where is Hui Niang, what did you do to her?"
The palace maid turned around and was about to run, but Qin E chased after her and grabbed the corner of her clothes, but her strength was so great that she twisted around and broke free and ran away.
The future was unpredictable, Qin E didn't dare to chase anymore, she reflexively wanted to leave, and a figure suddenly appeared in the oblique and snatched the golden hairpin on her head.
Qin E was startled, looked at the person who came, and the scream was stuck in her throat, "It's you?"
Huang Peisheng pinched the peony flower golden hairpin and said proudly: "Miss Qin, let's meet again." ”
