Chapter Eighty-Seven: Jingyang Undercurrent

It stands to reason that the day after Concubine Hua Guifei's promotion, she would come to Jingyang Palace early in the morning, pour tea for the queen and kneel to thank her, and listen to the teachings, just because she wanted to accompany her to the palace, this matter was delayed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It seems that Hua Guifei doesn't plan to remember this rule, and the queen doesn't seem to have any intention of mentioning it, but takes the initiative to care about Hua Guifei's leg disease, and asks people to fetch a blanket for her.

Of course, it is impossible for Hua Guifei to use the queen's blanket, Lan Yan refused for the master: "Queen Qiyu, this time out of the palace, the emperor specially ordered someone to make a few water leopard hair knee pads for the mother, it is very warm, the mother goes out, it will be much more convenient in the future, and you don't have to cover the blanket all the time." ”

"Water leopard velvet?!" The queen couldn't help but grasp the armrest on the phoenix chair, no one saw it, and her five fingers trembled gently in the darkness under the cover of the wide-sleeved robe. But the queen is the queen after all, no matter how big the shock is, it can't change the calm Fengyi she has cultivated for many years, she smiled, as if she was very happy that Hua Guifei finally found an excellent knee pad method: "It is indeed a good skin for knee pads, my sister has been plagued by leg diseases for many years, and this thing can be regarded as a wonderful use." ”

Hua Guifei Liwu smiled lightly and said softly: "My sister also feels that it is very good, and she should have made one for the queen's mother, but unfortunately the skin is small, so there is no superfluity." ”

The queen laughed and said: "The palace is physically fit and safe, you don't need that, my sister just needs to be happy." ”

Most of the concubines present heard the name of water leopard down for the first time, and they all felt fresh, seeing that they were both smiling and smiling, and they were humble to each other back and forth, as much harmony as they wanted, they all participated in the topic, and discussed what kind of skin the water leopard down was, and it was just such a small piece all over the palace, which seemed to be very rare.

Concubine Zhen, who has always spoken little, was the first to ask, she was not fluent in Chinese, so she spoke very slowly, with a Turkic unique tongue curling voice: "Two mothers, please forgive the concubine for being lonely and unheard, the concubine has heard of tiger hair, fox cash, mink hair, leopard hair, and water leopard down is the fur of the leopard in the water?" How can a leopard be in the water? ”

The queen smiled but didn't answer, and Concubine Hua covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Zhen Concubine is really innocent and cute, you Turks are located in the Mobei grassland, and it is not strange to know that this water leopard is a thing." The water leopard lives in an extremely cold place, and there is no one in the territory of the Great Zhou, and this only piece of skin is still met by Lord Lu Xiang when he went to the extreme north to find medicine for the first emperor, and it took a lot of hard work to catch it. ”

Among the people, Yi Xiu Concubine is the oldest, her grandfather Ma Chao, Lu Changwei, and Shen Yin are known as the gods of the Great Wednesday War, but two generations of men in the Ma family have died on the battlefield, and in her generation, there is no male who can succeed the lintel. The first emperor was grateful for the Ma family's contribution to the country, and simply included her in the East Palace of his son Yuwen Chengtai. She gave birth to two princesses for Yuwen Chengtai, the first princess died of smallpox shortly after her birth, and the second is the current fifth princess Suyue. In the past few years, there have been more and more masters in the harem, after all, she has given birth to two children, and her appearance and figure are not as good as those young and beautiful newcomers, and gradually she has lost her grace, and she only grows up with Princess Suyue wholeheartedly.

The water leopard velvet in the mouths of the queen and the gorgeous concubine, she knows. At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, and he searched for a famous doctor to treat him, and later got the guidance of a high monk, took the gall of the sea, the crown of the sky, and the soul of the earth, and was cured by decoction with the ice of extreme cold and the fire of extreme yin. When Lu Xiangxun returned from the extremely cold ice, he brought back a water leopard skin and presented it to the first emperor. The water leopard is an animal that lives in the Arctic glaciers and snowy seas, and thanks to its thick fur to keep warm, it is a rare thing to keep out the cold. Because the leather is small and not suitable for making robes, and it is too rare, the first emperor was reluctant to use it, so he put it directly into the warehouse for treasure. Unexpectedly, many years later, the emperor actually took it out to make knee pads for Concubine Hua, isn't this a slap in the queen's face?!

She smelled a trace of gunsmoke on the side, is the peaceful situation between the queen and Hua Guifei about to be torn apart for so many years? It's the emperor who is capricious! Back then, he loved Duan Qingzi the most in the East Palace, and he wanted to make her the crown princess, but compared to the influence of the Lu family in the imperial court, the Duan family was too weak. The first emperor had already fallen in love with the daughter of the Lu family as the best candidate for the crown princess, and a royal system directly determined the ownership of the crown princess. Yuwen Chengtai also resisted, but in the end he still compromised for the throne, and made a promise to make the daughter of the Lu family the queen after ascending the throne and never abolish the queen. Duan Qingzi, who was still a side concubine back then, is said to have cried all night, but the next day she took the initiative to persuade Yuwen Chengtai to marry the crown princess into the East Palace, and since then she has been living in the East Palace.

Hua Guifei smiled so softly, as if the conversation just now was just a small talk between sisters, and the queen also smiled, as if she had practiced the ability to endure into steel. Concubine Zhen is still naΓ―ve and straightforward: "The emperor is so good to Sister Guifei, such precious things are willing to be used as knee pads for Sister Guifei, it can be seen that in the emperor's heart, there is no more important person than Sister Guifei!" ”

Although this sentence is true, it sounds really jealous. Concubine Rong held back for several days, and today she came with the intention of provoking trouble and watching the play, but before she started to pick things, Concubine Hua Guifei took the lead in showing her affection nakedly, which stimulated her stomach to sour water.

For example, since Concubine Rong appeared, her eyes have never left her stomach, she has already noticed it, and still deliberately straightened her stomach, and then sneered: "Sister Zhen is so envious, she can break her knees, and she also has a leg disease, pretending to be sick and pretending to be in pain from time to time, begging the emperor for mercy!" ”

She spoke sharply and didn't speak Chinese very well, how could Concubine Zhen be her opponent, and she was squeezed by her with a gun and a stick, and her face suddenly turned red, she stood up angrily, and sat down helplessly.

Concubine Hua glanced at Concubine Rong, and Lan Yan behind her had already asked: "Concubine Rong's words don't understand, what is it called pretending to be sick and pretending to be in pain, provoking the emperor's pity?" My mother-in-law was in order to save the long-lived lord before she fell into a lifelong leg disease, and it was too late for the long-lived lord to feel distressed, but she couldn't tolerate half a sentence of slander from others! ”

Concubine Rong smiled contemptuously, as if she hadn't heard. Hua Guifei said unhurriedly: "If you pretend to be sick and pretend to be in pain and provoke the emperor's pity, if Concubine Rong is the second in this ability, no one dares to talk about the first, right?" On the same day, if the concubine had a miscarriage, the emperor only stepped into the Dexi Palace on the front foot, and you reported the good news with abdominal pain on the back foot, so that the emperor was invited to Yuxiao Palace, I don't know if the palace is right? ”

When Concubine Ru heard her mention this, her eyes finally shifted from Concubine Rong's stomach to her face. Concubine Rong is now pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, and she has no fear, so she doesn't accept Hua Guifei's stubble at all, she looked around with a smile, and then suddenly asked: "Why didn't a puff cushion be placed in the middle of this hall, so how can the concubine Niangniang kneel and thank you for the training?" ”
