Chapter 360: Crossing the Invincible Favorite Concubine [27]
Emperor Cheng Xuan opened his mouth and said yes, and the others applauded, and there was no lack of feeling that Zhao Concubine was really different, and at a glance, he knew that there was a reason for being favored, and as for the reason, it was naturally not enough for outsiders. If nothing else, they can't communicate directly at the state banquet alone, but it doesn't prevent them from using their eyes.
Seeing Emperor Cheng Xuan looking at her with such a straightforward gaze, Li Wanmei couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, she knew that these ancients must not be able to resist her charm. On his face, he bowed his head very shyly and said: "Concubine, this is just a little meaning, where can I compare to the concubine?" She knew that the nobles of ancient times did not want to compare with the low-ranking people, and felt that she looked down on herself, but she had to compare with Xia Meng. She knows that she is different from Xia Meng, about in the eyes of Emperor Cheng Xuan, one is the first love of a childhood sweetheart, noble and sacrosanct, and she is a tactful and petty concubine, charming and seductive.
They are like the bright moon in the sky and the clear lotus at night.
Men may be happy with the bright moon, but they tend to prefer Qinghe. After all, one is pretending to be noble, and the other is petty flattery.
She now compares herself with Xia Meng, if Xia Meng refuses, she will not give Emperor Cheng Xuan face. A favored concubine does not give the emperor face in front of everyone, which also shows that the emperor's favor for her is coming to an end. But if she doesn't care, she will just embarrass herself, and in the future, others will compare her with a small concubine, and she will have no reason to turn her face.
Everyone is looking at Summer Moe.
Xia Meng's reaction to this was only a slight smile, the goose yellow/color long gauze dress made her very pink and delicate, but her expression was expressing her arrogance and coldness, and inviolability.
She stood up, looked directly at the smiling Li Wanmei, and bowed her head slightly: "Although this palace is familiar with poetry and etiquette, it is naturally inferior to Sister Zhao's achievements in singing and dancing." The main palace is to continue the fireworks for the royal heirs, and the sister of Zhao Concubine is responsible for making the emperor happy, so naturally each has its own use. ”
What he said was only a slap on Li Wanmei's face.
Concubine Yu covered her lips and laughed on the side, and she didn't mind when she saw Li Wanmei glaring at her, but she was extremely happy: "Concubine Niangniang has always spoken straightforwardly, what I said, I know that you don't mind that Sister Zhao doesn't understand etiquette, she is very kind, and those who don't know think that you are looking down on Sister Zhao Concubine!" ”
Xia Meng raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked at Li Wanmei in surprise: "Sister Zhao Concubine won't misunderstand the meaning of this palace, right?" ”
Li Wanmei's smile stiffened slightly, so she had to bow her head: "The mother is serious, and the concubine doesn't dare." "I gritted my teeth with hatred in my heart, and this summer Meng actually slapped her in the face like this! In the future, she will definitely pay back a hundredfold!
Before waiting for Emperor Xuan's reward, Empress Yan frowned and reprimanded: "Although today is the Wanshou Festival, the palace should not say anything because of the emperor, but Concubine Zhao really doesn't know the rules and etiquette!" Dance music in public, do you think you are a servant? If the emperor doesn't mind today, this palace will definitely punish you well! However, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, so the palace will punish you to be grounded for three months, go back and copy the palace rules ten times! ”
Li Wanmei finally couldn't hold back her smile now, and looked at Queen Yan in surprise, and only found her voice after a while: "The concubine doesn't know ......" is grounded for three months! Also copy the palace rules! What kind of soft persimmon does this queen think of herself to dare to pinch like this!
Empress Yan immediately raised her eyebrows and glared at her: "How?" Concubine Zhao is not convinced by the punishment of the palace? ”
Seeing this, Li Wanmei didn't dare to confront directly, so she could only turn her eyes for help to Emperor Cheng Xuan.
Su Manyan, who was sitting in the position of the next female guest, was very displeased, she didn't know that the queen mother wanted to make friends with Li Wanmei, she only knew that the imperial aunt's attitude towards the little concubine Zhao Concubine was getting better and better! Now Concubine Zhao is actually openly seducing the emperor's cousin, and the imperial aunt, who has always oppressed people with rules, didn't say a word! The queen mother punished Concubine Zhao, she actually dared to ask the emperor's cousin for help!
"But the courtiers think what the queen said is very true!" Su Manyan stood up in the speechless gaze of everyone, and his morale was extraordinarily overwhelming, "As a concubine, you naturally have to abide by the rules of the harem, and what Concubine Zhao Niangniang did today is no different from those servants, and it is offensive to dress so revealing in front of outsiders!" The queen mother was just punished for copying the palace rules, which shows that she is still kind-hearted! Now at this time, she also knows that she is on the side of Empress Yan.
Li Wan's eyebrows suddenly turned cold, completely ignoring who was standing behind Su Manyan, and asked: "The queen mother reprimanded this concubine because this concubine is a concubine and should be managed by the wife." But has Miss Su forgotten her identity, this concubine is the emperor's concubine, Miss Su doesn't understand the rules, right? ”
In the end, it was out of reason, and he didn't say it too much.
But this is enough to make Su Manyan feel embarrassed! She is the niece of the imperial aunt! What kind of thing is Li Wanmei? How dare you give her such a shameless?
Regardless of it, he glared at her widely: "The courtiers naturally don't want to blame Concubine Zhao, the courtiers just tell the Queen Mother, and they have to listen to the Queen Mother's decision!" She didn't believe that at this time, the imperial aunt was still biased towards Concubine Zhao!
The queen mother naturally won't help Concubine Zhao speak at this time, not to mention that Su Manyan is her niece, she has to help speak, just because the queen said that Li Wanmei has no rules on this occasion, she can't refute it. But in the end, she is still unhappy with Su Manyan in her heart, and she doesn't know the severity at all, can it be good for her to fall out with Li Wanmei? But her niece knows after all, isn't it because Li Wanmei asked Emperor Cheng Xuan for help that she was jealous?
"Look at the mourning family, although Concubine Zhao is not very decent, but after all, she is sincere to the emperor, and the queen should not be too strict." The queen mother said and saw Su Man's face, and anyone who was not blind could see how dissatisfied she was, and she couldn't help but feel angry, "It is rare for the mourning family to see that Zhao Concubine's sincerity to the emperor is rare, the emperor is busy with state affairs all day long, and it is rare to have a concubine who can make him breathe a sigh of relief, but the mourning family is very happy." It is said that it is scantily dressed, which does need to be paid attention to. ”
Empress Yan was angry when she saw the Queen Mother so generous, this happened to her! If there were concubines who did such a blatant thing during the period of the first emperor, I am afraid that the queen mother would be eager to suck her blood, right? Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!
But because of filial piety, I had to whisper: "What the queen mother said is reasonable, but the sons are too harsh." That's it, since the queen mother said so, the ban will be changed to one month, but the palace rules still have to be copied ten times! ”
Although this concession made no difference, Li Wanmei also had to kneel down pitifully: "The concubine obeys the order." After speaking, he looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan with extremely pitiful eyes
