Chapter 2 The Two Tigers Fight for Chapter 3
Su E knew that she had all plans in mind, so she ordered her to go down and ask people to settle this upstart as much as possible. She changed clothes and makeup for Yuyan, and the two came to the main hall of the newcomer Qi Hou together.
Although Yu Yan had seen all the women at the time of the draft, how could he dress up today to be as luxurious as today. The clear eyes that looked at Yu Yan were full of admiration and awe, just like the previous show girls, the palace was still an unknown territory for them.
The four Chang Zai leaders took the lead in saluting and greeted Yuyan in turn. In fact, it was not until this moment that Yu Yan saw Jia Changzai's appearance clearly for the first time. Among the thousands of fandels, she is really not a national beauty, but she also has a unique charm. The palm-sized melon seed face has small and delicate facial features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seem to have the posture of a bearded person, but they are not charming. She wore a hibiscus skirt with light lilies and silk, hairpins, and green silk held up by pearls and emerald plum blossom hair ornaments, which was also considered superior among newcomers. However, there was no arrogance on Jia Changzai's face, and after greeting him, he lowered his eyes in a regular manner, looking well-behaved and demure.
After dispensing with everyone's courtesy, Yu Yancai said kindly: "Your sisters arrived so early, I don't know if you have also seen the imperial concubine." ”
The one who replied was Jing Changzai, the only one who was given the title, and among the newcomers, she was born the best, the daughter of Master Hanlin Cao. Although this official position is quite valued by the emperor, it has no real power, and choosing this woman to fill the harem is also a wise move by Yu Hao to balance the power of civil and military officials. The woman's makeup is elegant, and she speaks with a Jianghuai soft accent, which makes people very comfortable to listen to. "Back to the concubine Niangniang, according to the rules, the concubines should go to see the imperial concubine Niangniang first. It's just that she was turned away early in the morning, and the imperial concubine didn't seem to have any intention of summoning her. ”
Yu Yan's smile was like a new hibiscus, and she was kind and generous: "This is her character, it's good if you have seen it as soon as possible." ”
"It's a person on top, and it's reasonable that it's not easy to get along." Suddenly, the woman with the yellow dress smiled, and after Su E mentioned it, she realized that it was the thistle who Yuhao had specially paid attention to during the draft and agreed, "The concubine is not talking about you, but I heard that the emperor did not call someone to sleep last night because he liked the maid next to the imperial concubine?" ”
Yu Yan didn't care about the abruptness in her words, she just casually fiddled with the green jade bracelet with silver flowers on her wrist, and said with a smile: "This palace knows that my sister is dissatisfied in her heart, but this kind of thing is not unheard of before. What's more, this maid will be the same as you from now on, a little master. ”
Ji promised to sneer lightly when she heard this: "Niangniang is willing to lift her." ”
Yuyan didn't want to say much to her, so she asked Su E to give everyone a congratulatory gift, plus some gratitude, and it was not too early, so she said Hewan: "It's your turn to sleep today, and the palace won't keep you more." It's just that the person in charge of the Weiming Palace, the palace still has a few words to explain. When the newcomers heard this, they also thought that they would go back to prepare as soon as possible, so they all took their leave, leaving Jia Chang, who was in charge of the Weiming Palace, and sat on the pear wood chair according to the rules and waited for the order.
When everyone dispersed, Yu Yan also collected the smile from before, stared at the woman in front of him and said, "This palace left you alone, do you know why." ”
Jia Chang knelt down on the hall when he heard the words, and said with sincere fear: "The concubine originally wanted to come to see the concubine Niangniang, but her status was low, and she didn't dare to visit Jing'an Palace rashly......"
"It's okay to do this, you are the person recommended by the noble concubine, and there is nothing to worry about in this palace." Yu Yan stroked the jasper-cold Hailan bead flower on her hair, and her expression eased slightly, "The reason why I arranged that maid in the Weiming Palace is also because this palace believes that you can handle the stakes well." ”
Jia Changzai was slightly stunned, cautiously raised his eyes to look at Yu Yan, and there was still hesitation in his words: "But after all, it is the person who is the imperial concubine......"
Yu Yan's silent smile was hidden and slight, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had no intention of saying: "This palace knows your concerns, and I don't want to embarrass you for anything, all you have to do is keep an eye on her." If she is a restless person, her own rights and wrongs will come to her door. ”
The woman seemed to understand and said, "The concubine must do her best." ”
However, beyond everyone's expectations, in the next three days, Yu Hao did not summon newcomers, but favored Ziqing, and soon gave the position to be sold out, making an exception without having to start with the lowest girl. After this series of summons, it seems that Yu Hao also felt that there was something unruly, so he summoned Jia Chang, who had put a lot of effort into the concubine, to go to bed for the first time. But even so, a few months have passed, and only two or three of the newcomers have seen the true appearance of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, even if Yu Hao really likes Ziqing, it is not unusual. The woman was already a little younger than the imperial concubine, and she spent her days all year round, making her look no more than twenty years old. Ziqing is a well-known beauty, and it is reported that ten years ago, there were frequent proposals from princes and nobles, but they were all rejected by Emperor Jin one by one. Ziqing has lived with Emperor Jin for many years, and has a noble temperament that is not inferior to ordinary concubines.
In the past few months, almost thirty percent of the days have been spent by her, for which there are different opinions in the palace, but only Emperor Jin has never said a word about it. When such a thing came to Jing'an Palace, Yuyan only smiled indifferently when she heard it, and said with emotion: "The emperor is becoming more and more bent on going his own way." ”
After the summer heat, the weather gradually became hotter. Suddenly, one day at noon, there was a sudden rainstorm, the rain was violent, the sky was dark, but in the afternoon there was a rare coolness. Yu Hao approved a day's excerpts, and at this time he was already dizzy, so he listened to Dong Bijian and went to the imperial garden to play and enjoy the flowers.
The flowers in the courtyard are washed by the rain, and they are in full swing. When you look at it, it looks like a fairyland of flowers, which makes people feel vibrant. Among them, the gardenia blooms fragrantly, looking from afar like pale pink clouds, spreading like snow. Yu Hao was obsessed with it, and suddenly heard the little eunuch exclaim: "There are colorful butterflies!" ”
When you look at it, it is an extremely rare spotted butterfly. The wings are pink and blue, and they land lightly on the red anchovy orchid, as if resting and motionless. Yu Hao was curious in his heart, and when he got closer, he didn't feel smacking his tongue - where is the colorful butterfly, which is clearly embroidered on the silk handkerchief. The butterfly is outlined in silver thread lake blue satin, delicately embroidered and light, even if it is so close, it feels as if it can dance and fly with a breath. Yu Hao knew at a glance that it was the woman in the palace who was accidentally left here, and unconsciously opened his mouth to praise: "Except for Yiying, I have never seen anyone in the palace with such good skills." ”
Dong Bi saw that the Son of Heaven's eyebrows were relaxed, so he said cautiously: "But do you want the slave to find out the owner of this silk handkerchief?" ”
Yu Hao was just about to wave his hand, and suddenly saw a woman in a peony pink embroidered lily su satin flag costume among the flowers and trees looking down with the maid next to her. The woman wore her hair in a delicate bun, not embellished with gold or silver, but only sporadically pinned with ivory-white jade in her hair, and a snow-colored obsidian hairpin was obliquely pinned to the bun, shining brightly. She inadvertently raised her head, facing Shang Yuhao's gaze, she couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and knelt down: "Concubine Ji doesn't know that the emperor is here, disturbing the holy driver, and I hope that the emperor will forgive her sins." ”
