Chapter 10 The Queen and the Concubine

"The queen is here?" Lin Zitang pulled his clothes, pulled his hair, and frowned slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It's getting late, what is the queen doing at this time? I finally just took off my makeup, do you want her to dress up again?

She unconsciously showed the innocence revealed in her gestures, which made Mama Wang smile a little on her face:

"The queen mother said, this is a family meeting with her sisters in private, and the mother only needs to wear homely clothes, and she doesn't need to wear official uniforms."

"Homely?"

In the middle of the night, what do you talk about? And in this palace, it's either a love rival or a political enemy, what's the usual good words?

Forget it, as long as she doesn't have to reload, she doesn't bother to care what the other party has to say.

Lin Zitang sat sideways on a high-backed chair covered with phoenix patterns, carefully accompanying Queen Wang.

Although it is just to "talk about homely things", Queen Wang is the honor of the queen, but the "homely" clothes are not sloppy. The royal style and dignity are revealed in the gestures from the complicated silk hand embroidery.

In contrast, Zitang, who was sitting on the side, was dressed in plain solid silk yarn ornaments, like a slender weeping willow next to the leafy banyan tree, although it was a little thinner, but it was also full of more youthful vitality.

"Concubine Lin." The queen finally spoke, and her voice was much softer than usual.

"Queen!" Zitang's voice expression was flat and flat, and he was not happy.

The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar title, and the unfamiliar situation made her full of vigilance.

"Sister, in the future, everyone will get along together, and they will be commensurate with each other, how about sisters?" There was a little warmth in Queen Wang's voice, and a little smile appeared on her face.

"Don't dare to be, Sister Queen."

Zitang smiled cautiously and politely.

In the court, Lin Zuoxiang and Wang Youzai are-for-tat, water and fire are incompatible, and Lin Zuoxiang, who is in the prime of life, has repeatedly suppressed the already decrepit Wang Youzai in many matters.

And now, in this harem, their daughters meet in another way, in another relative position.

"My sister has just arrived, this palace is different from home, but are you still used to it?"

New to the city? Is it a metaphor for her lack of qualifications?

"Thank you sister for your concern, I'm still used to it."

"In the palace of Nuoda, there are few people who can really speak, if my sister is lonely, just come to Kunning to find me. This Kun'an Palace is not far from Kunning Palace. ā€

Lonesome? Is it to say that she was snubbed by the emperor?

"Thank you. In the future, I will definitely go to Kunning Palace more often to say goodbye. ā€

"I don't need to say anything about it. Although the etiquette in this palace is complicated, everyone usually doesn't have to be so formal, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to live. ā€

"I understand."

Zitang showed a knowing smile.

Queen Wang really spoke every word, as if there was something outside the words, and she seemed to be full of love for her. However, she prefers to believe that Queen Wang really has a heart of love for her, a "rival in love" from the family's mortal enemy.

After all, Queen Wang doesn't look like a sinister villain at heart. And I heard my father say that although Wang Zhan is "old and decrepit" and stubborn, he is a frank and unrestrained gentleman. can get the evaluation of the political enemy "gentleman", and his daughter is naturally not bad.

"The queen is the most loving master, and she is also the most tolerant and intimate to the ladies in the palace. If there is anything in the future, you can manage it and talk to the queen. Mama Wang on the side interjected.

The so-called bystander is clear, and she can naturally think of what ambiguity the words of Queen Wang will extend in the ears of the listener. I don't know why, she sincerely doesn't want to have any misunderstanding between the Lin Niangniang in front of her and the queen.

Queen Wang glanced at Mama Wang, and seemed to be quite unimpressed by her interjection.

"This Mama Wang is the most convenient one I use, and she knows everything about the affairs of the palace, no matter how big or small. The Queen Mother also values her very much, and this time she specially assigned her to serve her sister, and I don't know if my sister minds this. But when my sister understands and is familiar with the things in the palace, I will send her back to me. ā€

"Where, she's fine. I am very grateful for the care of the Queen Mother. With someone familiar with the affairs of the palace by his side, life in the palace is better. ā€

Although Zitang's words are a bit perfunctory and official, they are also a little sincere. Although there are many rules and precepts in this palace, there are many flexible places, and having a person who knows the depth allows her to have a lot of space for free movement, and she doesn't have to worry about making jokes and violating the palace rules.

The queen had obviously misunderstood her words, and looked at her deeply. Her sentence "Life in the palace is better" reminded Queen Wang of some rumors in the palace, and she sighed softly:

"One night of love, several dynasties of coldness, or this is the portrayal of the women in the backyard of the palace. Why should you take the king's grace and grooming too seriously? ā€

Zitang didn't know for a while whether to show that nothing happened, or to pretend to be resentful, and finally nodded solemnly.

Looking at Zitang's unsuspecting and innocent appearance, Queen Wang suddenly grabbed her hand and said softly:

"Sister, in this palace, you must remember one sentence, remember this sentence, you can survive in this palace: the emperor can never be loved! You can only respect the emperor, but you can't love him. He is the king of all men, not of any one person, not of any woman! ā€

When she said this, as if the air in her body had run out, she took a deep breath: "If you fall in love with the emperor, you will fall into the abyss of no return, and when the time comes, you will only be afraid of death, and there will be no place to bury!" ā€

These words were cautious and serious, as if the queen was swearing to herself and to something in the void.

Zitang listened and couldn't help but be in awe. She understood that these words of the queen must have come from the heart, and these words would be deeply seared in her mind and warn her at all times.

The psychological distance between Zitang and Queen Wang has been shortened a lot because of these few words.

In the blink of an eye, autumn turns to winter, and everything in Kyoto is depressed, and everything is withering, not as vibrant as in the south, but in winter there are occasionally exciting and pleasant scenery in the capital, such as ice and snow!

Once upon a time when she was in the Lin Mansion, Cardamom's favorite thing to do in winter was to watch the snow and have snowball fights with her younger siblings.

But since the beginning of winter this year, only a thin light snow has fallen in the capital, and she is in the palace, there is no freedom of movement at all, and her mother's home is even closer to the end of the world, and the sudden loneliness and boredom make her feel a little homesick.
