Chapter 473: First Sight of Concubine Chen
She didn't do this kind of makeup deliberately, in the past, when she was in Washington, she was the daughter of the prime minister, unless she was attending a banquet or going out to show her face, this is what she looked like in her small courtyard.
Now in Nanzhao Kingdom, thousands of miles away, for her, Miss Hua Qi has long been unable to go back to the past, so she will be free from the clichΓ©s of the past, and she is what she is.
She originally thought that the concubine Niangniang, who had favored the six palaces and had been favored for decades, would be a great beauty who charmed all living beings and captivated the country and the city, but she never thought that at the first glance when she raised her eyes after the salute, a word subconsciously came out of her heart, mediocrity.
It's too mediocre, I really can't imagine that she will give birth to a son as beautiful as Tian Yi.
If she was a simpler woman standing in the hall at this time, I am afraid that at this moment of raising her eyes, she would reflect her surprised eyes on Concubine Chen's really mediocre face.
But Qi Nian is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, even if she sees a man with five big and three thick at this time, I am afraid she will not be half surprised.
After saluting very smoothly, she stood quietly aside, until the morning concubine who was reclining on the chaise longue looked at her enough, and instructed the palace maid beside her, "Give Miss Qi a seat." β
This sound is quite good, just like the yellow orioles singing green willows in the mountains, and the fragrant wind in the empty valley.
Qi Nian still only lowered his eyes and looked at the flat and clean ground, and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." β
Although Concubine Chen is not the concubine under the queen, in this palace, except for the queen, the seats of the four concubines are all empty, and then there is only this concubine Chen, plus she is deeply favored by the emperor, even if she is much worse in terms of status, so what?
Soon they all sat down, and the palace maids served tea again, and they all silently stepped aside.
It seems that no matter which country it is, the rules in this palace are much the same, with silent self-denial as a courtesy, and wanton arrogance as a crime.
Although Qi Nian said that she had not been in the palace for many days, she was also a person who had lived two lifetimes, and if her age was added up, she was probably not two years younger than Concubine Chen.
Coupled with the skills she is cultivating now, if there is anyone who is more calm than her, unless she has no selfish intentions at all, she just wants to watch the excitement.
Obviously, Concubine Chen is not such a person, if she didn't have something, she wouldn't have specially summoned Qi Nian into the palace to meet her today.
So just after drinking tea, Concubine Chen said, "I heard from the fourth prince that Miss Qi was originally a doctor?"
This is what Qi Nian taught Tian Yi, only saying that if Concubine Chen asked, she would say that she was a medical practitioner she met in Nanzhao Kingdom. There is no need to say anything more about the others, if Concubine Chen has other ideas, she will definitely check it herself.
As for what she could find, it was up to Qi Nian to decide.
Qi Nian bowed slightly, "The folk girl has been practicing medicine for many years, although she is not a saint with young qualifications, but she can afford to take care of the word "doctor". β
Concubine Chen's face still had no expression, and she only said indifferently: "Girl, this is too modest." Listening to the girl's accent, it seems that she is not from Nanzhaoguo. β
Qi Nian didn't hide it, but only generously admitted, "The folk girl was originally from Weiyang Country, and she only came to Nanzhao Kingdom a few months ago, and she planned to spend a while here. β
Concubine Chen's eyes obviously had a look of surprise, but there was still only indifference on her face, "Is the girl here alone?
Qi Nian didn't answer her quickly. To be honest, since she saw Concubine Chen, she felt strange from the bottom of her heart, as if the person in front of her was not the person she had guessed and speculated.
The reason why Tian Yi went to Weiyang with the mission was only because Concubine Chen said that he wanted to fight for the throne and get the support of Weiyang State. Otherwise, when the crown prince ascends the throne, their mother and son will lose the protection of the emperor, and they will be in danger.
Someone who can say such a thing, even if not a scheming person, should not be a person like this.
Qi Nian looked at the mediocre and sincere Chen Concubine Niangniang, and suddenly felt a little familiar. She resembles a person, or perhaps that person resembles her.
"Niangniang summoned the people's daughters into the palace today, I don't think it was just to say these words. Qi Nian smiled slightly, and said softly: "I don't know what Niangniang has to say, please explain it clearly." β
She felt that maybe she really had to seriously test this important concubine Chen Niangniang in the Nanzhao Kingdom, if it was only based on Tian Yi's words and the information she had collected scattered over the past few days, I was afraid it would not be enough for her to see this woman clearly.
She asked refreshingly, and Concubine Chen was slightly stunned, and then replied very cheerfully, "I learned from Yi'er that the girl has the ability to develop saprophytic muscle cream." β
Qi Nian couldn't help but raise his eyes and look over, "Does Niangniang want this?"
Although those two boxes of jewelry are not much, they are only so valuable and valuable, if they are only used in exchange for plasters, this gift is inevitably too heavy, and there is no need to invite her into the palace at all.
If Concubine Chen didn't have a more important reason, there would be no need for these things at all.
"No, Miss Qi, I want you to help me see a patient. Concubine Chen's eyes were very clear, as if she was a girl who had never entered the world, "But please be sure to keep it a secret for me, and don't tell anyone about it, including Qi'er." β
The doubts in Qi Nian's heart gradually deepened, but she had always been happy and angry, but at this time, she nodded without changing her face, and said in a fixed voice: "According to Niangniang's words." β
Concubine Chen stood up from the couch and gave a look to the palace maid beside her.
This palace maid was her confidant, and immediately withdrew with all the palace people, and closed the door tightly.
At this time, Qi Nian said that it would be a lie if she was not frightened, after all, this was not in Weiyang Kingdom, she did not have the father of a very popular minister to back her up, and she did not have Li Jinjian's desperate protection.
At this time, if Concubine Chen suddenly attacked, she really didn't have the ability to protect herself at all.
But now it can't be done, and it can only be taken one step at a time.
Concubine Chen led the way, motioning for Qi Nian to follow her. Although Qi Nian was a little restless, he had seen the big scene. Even if he was a little stunned, his face was still calm.
The two of them quickly passed through the long corridor from the front hall to the apse. And just looking at this layout, it is obvious that this should be the dormitory of Concubine Chen.
It was quiet everywhere, and the palace people should have been sent out by Concubine Chen's henchmen and palace maids, but there was not even a figure.
