13. Seven shows, power over the world
Seeing that Meng Yan was as immobile as a mountain, Concubine Li became angry and said bitterly, "I heard that there are many dignitaries and nobles in Lefang, why don't you tell everyone about it, so that we can open our eyes." ”
There are always some people in this world who can't see others good, like to compare themselves with others, if others are better than themselves, she will be unhappy, cursing, jealous, if others are worse than herself, she will be happy, by the way, she will stretch the wound a little bigger, so that others will come to see.
Concubine Li is this kind of person, her family background is not as good as Concubine Rong, and she can't be said to treat Concubine Rong sincerely, this will meet a Meng Yan, who was born as a dancer and has a lower status than herself, so she can naturally say a few ugly words.
Concubine Li's words made many low-status concubines laugh, in terms of family background, everyone here can compare to Meng Yan, but in terms of appearance, no one can compare to Meng Yan.
Meng Yan knew that Concubine Li was deliberately embarrassed, and she didn't see the look of annoyance, but thought about it seriously, as if she was recalling what guests she had seen on weekdays.
Everyone's laughter gradually stopped, and their eyes were focused on Meng Yan, waiting for Meng Yan to say something.
"I saw one special one some time ago." Meng Yan spoke slowly, smiling a little shyly, "The family also has money, I heard that there are groups of wives and concubines, so he called me when he held a banquet at home." ”
"Oh." Concubine Li was really surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Say something more detailed." ”
"His house is magnificent, and the guests he invites are also well-known figures." Speaking of which, the queen and Concubine Rong had already understood that Meng Yan was talking about the state banquet not long ago, but Concubine Li hadn't reacted yet, and continued to ask.
"What kind of dance did you dance and what song did you sing?"
"I'll only do one dance, the sword dance." Meng Yan had a smile on her face, "It seems to be ...... that day."
"Mrs. Xiang." Concubine Rong took the words, and when she saw Concubine Li's dazed face, she didn't say anything, and praised lightly, "Sharp teeth." ”
"Xie Niangniang's praise." Meng Yan was not polite at all, and went on to do it generously, so that Concubine Rong couldn't help but look at Meng Yan with admiration, this person was to her liking.
"You!" Concubine Li had already reacted, and when she saw Meng Yan and Concubine Rong talking and laughing, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Meng Yan's nose and scolded, "Bold, you actually treat the emperor as a prostitute." ”
I didn't say that. Meng Yan stood motionless, her eyes faintly mocking, this is what you said.
"Concubine Li." The queen, who had seen enough of watching the play, finally stood up at this time, put down the tea Gu, and made a sound that was neither light nor heavy, which scared Concubine Li to kneel on the ground.
"The concubine knows her mistake." Concubine Li's face was pale, her face was pale, she knew that she was wrong as soon as she said this, no matter how much she said that Meng Yan was not, she couldn't speak ill of the emperor.
"It's all Meng Meiren's fault." Concubine Li pointed to Meng Yan who was standing on the side, her eyes were resentful, and when she turned to look at the queen, she was pitiful and aggrieved, "Queen Mother, you want to know it." ”
Concubine Rong couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled at Concubine Li's words without thinking, but she said it herself, but it really counted, Meng Yan had nothing to do with it.
"Meng." Only then did the queen look at Meng Yan again, and saw that she had been standing and had no intention of kneeling, so she snorted coldly, "Kneel." ”
Meng Yan knelt down slowly, holding her head high, she didn't mean to admit her mistake at all, speaking of which, it was indeed not Meng Yan's fault.
Seeing Concubine Li's vicious eyes glaring at her from time to time, Meng Yan understood that today's hatred had been resolved, and eighty percent would never die. The first day was very fruitful, and Meng Yan didn't know who to thank.
"Niangniang, the concubine is innocent." Concubine Li is wearing a royal blue shirt, a little steady, she usually loves this kind of dress, but today is out of place, because Concubine Li cries like a sister next door, and anyone who sees it is distressed, provided that there is no such dress.
Looks a little weird. Concubine Rong glanced away from Concubine Li, she had been Concubine Li's rival for several years, and naturally knew Concubine Li's routines, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself so that she was perfect, and the emperor still ate her set, and the queen needed to see the emperor's face, how many times she picked it up high and put it down gently.
The queen didn't answer, she was pinching when the emperor would come, it was already early at this time, if there was nothing else, the emperor would come here to see the beauties and raise his eyes.
This Meng clan has just been sealed, if she punishes the Meng clan at this moment, I am afraid that she will not be able to please the emperor, but if Concubine Li is wrong, it will be one more enemy.
She had to plan for her son, pressed her sullen chest, and there was Concubine Li's complaining cry, and the queen's mood was not very good.
"The emperor has arrived." The eunuch sang a tune, pulling the eyes of everyone in the hall outward, and they were all excited.
The emperor didn't have anything big to do today, and remembered the warm fragrance of nephrite last night, and planned to hurry to the queen's place, and then go to see the beauty, but as soon as he came in, he saw two people kneeling in the hall, one person's back was familiar to him, it was Concubine Li, and the other was interesting, with a straight back and a low head, it was a stranger.
The emperor suddenly became interested, walked quickly in front of the two, and swept away, oh, it was the beauty who was favored last night.
No matter how beautiful the beauty is, the wife is still in the front, and after holding the queen's hand and sitting down, the emperor said first, "How is your body today?" ”
"After taking the medicine prescribed by the hospital, my spirit is much better." The queen's face was covered with rouge, and she couldn't see the slightest sickness.
The queen was sick. Meng Yan was a little surprised, why didn't she see it.
"The palace affairs will be handed over to Concubine Rong and them, and you have to recuperate with peace of mind." The emperor patted the empress's hand, and only after talking about the old did he turn his gaze to Meng Yan, and deliberately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The sisters are joking." The queen became a peacemaker first, and was never the first to make a small report.
"The joke is too big." Concubine Rong took the words, and glanced at the emperor with a smile, she always spoke straight, and the emperor never blamed her, only smiled and asked Concubine Rong.
"Tell me about it."
Concubine Li asked Sister Meng who she had seen in the music workshop, and Sister Meng picked one to talk about. Speaking of which, Concubine Rong won't say anything, and she will be dumb.
The emperor knew that there was a dispute below, so he asked the two kneeling on the ground, and when he saw Concubine Li's aggrieved look, he scolded Concubine Li with a smile, "Who bullied you again?" ”
"This slut." Seeing that the emperor asked herself first, Concubine Li suddenly became proud, pointed at Meng Yan and scolded, "She set up her concubine." ”
So the emperor withdrew his hand, and his expression remained unchanged, knocking on the case a few times and again.
The queen knew that the emperor was angry.
"What about you?" The emperor asked Meng Yan, whose expression remained unchanged.
"The concubine said a person." Meng Yan blinked, looking back at the few memories in her mind, Meng Yan tried to raise her head and look at the emperor, and sure enough, she saw amazement in the emperor's eyes.
This face can be called the national color and fragrance, it is a real beauty, the emperor said when he saw Meng Yan at first sight, the beauty is like a jade sword and a rainbow.
"What did the beauty say?" The Emperor's voice was a little obsessive.
As soon as these words came out, several people present knew that Concubine Li was going to suffer this time, and the emperor's heart was towards Meng Yan.
"The concubine has seen a special person, which will make the concubine unforgettable for life." Meng Yan said, a mist appeared in her eyes at the right time, but Meng Yan didn't lower her head, she looked at the emperor like this, she was ashamed, but she was straightforward, daring to look directly at the emperor and say what she thought.
The emperor has seen many women and many beauties, but he has never seen a woman like Meng Yan, not to mention her beauty, she dares to say if she dares to love, this different taste makes the emperor fall to Meng Yan.
"Your Majesty." Seeing the emperor's trance-like expression, Concubine Li suddenly shouted, "You must punish the slut severely." ”
Concubine Rong twitched the corner of her eyes, feeling that Concubine Li was really blind, and she didn't see that the emperor's heart was all on Meng Yan, what else are you doing.
"What the hell did she say?" The emperor came back to his senses and asked Concubine Rong again, "You tell me about it." ”
What kind of bad luck did she have, Concubine Rong complained in her heart, reluctantly repeated Meng Yan's words, and swallowed when she talked about Concubine Li.
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing that Concubine Rong refused to say anything again, the emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll exempt you from the crime of disrespect first, let's say it." ”
"Concubine Li said, boldly, she actually regarded the emperor as a prostitute." After saying this, Concubine Rong didn't even dare to look at the emperor with a straight eye, for fear of harming the pond fish.
Actually, Concubine Li is quite right. Meng Yan thought in her heart, the entire harem is to receive the emperor's prostitute guest, and the men in the world are generally black, even if this emperor is born with an elegant bookish temperament, gentle and amiable, but he still can't take off the hat of middle-aged and spicy hands.
Just thinking about it, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of Meng Yan, Meng Yan was stunned, immediately hit the snake with a stick, and stood up with the emperor's hand.
Meng Yan's hands were actually uncomfortable to the touch, but the emperor didn't hate it, because he knew that this was a pair of sword hands, which came like thunder to suppress anger, and like a river and a sea condensing clear light. He likes Meng Yan's swordsmanship, and he likes Meng Yan even more.
Without him, Meng Yan looks better than all the women in his harem.
As a Yan Gou who couldn't be more upright, the emperor immediately punished Concubine Li, "If you speak disrespectfully, you will be punished for three months." ”
Concubine Li's face turned gray, and she sat on the ground with a slump of her whole body, glancing at Meng Yan with viciousness, but by coincidence, she was caught by the emperor.
"Half a year of punishment!" The emperor was angry, his beauty was innocent, and Concubine Li was too much.
Concubine Li fell out of favor. The people present thought in their hearts, and when they saw the emperor personally holding Meng Yan's hand, they began to think in their hearts, whether to curry favor with Meng Yan or form an alliance against Meng Yan together.
This battle was inevitably too good, Meng Yan sobbed, she wondered if she was hanging, and brushed a concubine off on the first day, according to normal speaking, isn't she a talented person?
At the last moment of leaving the hall, Meng Yan subconsciously glanced at the queen, only to see that her eyes were thin and cold, and she had no joy or sorrow for the emperor's words and deeds.
