CHAPTER 40

The styles of clothes prepared by the concubine for the four of them are very similar, but they are completely different in color, as if people can recognize who is who at a glance, Mo Shu'an didn't know what others thought, but she felt frightened, as if she was ...... When a person is sentenced to beheading, the most painful thing is not when he dies, but when he waits for death.

Mo Shu'an felt that she was in such a situation right now.

The girl of the Zhou family is wearing a peach-colored dress today, with a glass hairpin, and I don't know if it is the color of the clothes or the side, but it is a little more beautiful than yesterday, and the girl of the Zheng family is wearing a goose yellow dress, although it is not as delicate as the girl of the Zhou family, but it is not a little more delicate, the girl of the Chen family is a light purple dress, and the belt is dark purple, although the appearance is not as good as that of Miss Zhou and Miss Zheng, the slender waist is particularly attractive.

And Mo Shu'an was already white-skinned, and her green dress made her even more pitiful.

It can be said that these four sets of clothes were not prepared by the concubine at random, but specially prepared for them, and even when they didn't know it, the concubine had already seen their portraits.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the clothes are at this time, the four of them have no intention of appreciating them, they just dressed up and are sitting together for breakfast, but they don't want the food to be delivered just now, and the queen's reward for eating has also arrived, no matter what the queen's power is now, all they can do is thank you, but the grandmother next to the queen did not hand over the food box to the little palace maid, but personally put the things on the table, "This bird's nest porridge was specially rewarded by the queen for the four girls." ”

Mo Shu'an and they can't do anything else except thank you, the discord between the queen and the concubine is not a secret, and the concubine obviously has the upper hand, the most important point is that the four of them were invited into the palace by the concubine, and the people who served around the place where they lived were arranged by the concubine, and the queen rewarded the bird's nest porridge and the concubine also asked people to "specially" prepare white fungus lotus seed porridge for them.

Even if the two bowls of porridge don't use other things, according to the amount of food they ate yesterday, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable for a long time, Mo Shu'an can eat it, but she feels like something is blocked in her throat, whether it is the queen and the concubine, the fight between the two of them is difficult for them.

The Zheng family's girl's eyes flashed, and she said with red eyes and shame, "I...... I can't use bird's nest, I will get a rash after using it, for fear of staining the eyes of the nobles in the palace. "This is obviously like a concubine showing favor and slapping the queen in the face.

The grandmother beside the queen had a cold look in her eyes and said, "In this case, the old slave will return to the queen." ”

Miss Zheng lowered her head and stopped talking, and the grandmother beside the queen swept Mo Shu'an and the three of them, and her eyes seemed to be icy, "In addition to Miss Zheng, is there any girl who can't use bird's nest?" ”

Under the gaze of her grandmother, Miss Chen quickly lowered her head and avoided it, but she was bitter and helpless in her heart, Miss Zhou secretly hated herself for being a step late, but it was already difficult to speak, Mo Shu'an was not ready to come out, Miss Zheng's choice could not be wrong, it could only be said that the purpose between them was different, Mo Shu'an just wanted to get out of the palace safely, and Miss Zheng was afraid that she had other plans.

Mama said, "In this case, those three girls don't want to live up to the queen's kindness, and the porridge is better to use while it's hot." "The two words of disappointment are very important.

Mo Shu'an and the others sat down again, the bird's nest porridge in front of Miss Zheng had been taken away by the little palace maid, only the white fungus lotus seed porridge was left, and the remaining three people had two bowls of porridge in front of them, although the porridge was eight points full, but the bowl was slightly larger and deeper than the bowl they used to eat yesterday.

Since Miss Zheng had already chosen to offend the queen, she directly ate the porridge rewarded by the concubine at this time, but Mo Shu'an and the others were a little hesitant, after all, the grandmother around the queen was staring at them, and the people around the concubine were also staring at them.

Dong Qing was waiting behind Mo Shu'an, anxious but didn't dare to show anything, but he felt very sorry for his own girl, where is this eating, it is simply a crime, and the queen is too, why are you bullying people like this.

Miss Zhou pursed her lower lip, first used the white fungus lotus seed porridge, the Chen family girl bit her lip, and it was the same as Miss Zhou, Mo Shu'an secretly looked at the white fungus lotus seed porridge that was also used, and the grandmother sent by the queen turned dark, but she didn't say anything.

A meal and torture seemed to be, Miss Zhou didn't dare to offend the queen, and wanted to please the concubine, and finally used up the white fungus lotus seed porridge, and ate a small half bowl of bird's nest porridge, Mo Shu'an and Miss Chen finally chose to use both bowls of porridge, Miss Chen finally ate more and more slowly, and even sweated on her forehead, which can be seen to be hard stuffed, and Mo Shu'an is the same, and when it was finally used up, both of them seemed to be relieved, but Mo Shu'an felt that if she wasn't stared at, she could still use two more bean cakes.

The grandmother beside the queen waited for them to run out, and then left first, thinking that she was returning to the queen, Mo Shu'an noticed that a little palace maid who was waiting in the courtyard was also missing.

After the palace maid brought water and waited for them to rinse their mouths, the people around the concubine invited them over.

When they arrived, the concubine had not yet come out, and several people were waiting to sit down, and Mo Shu'an obviously felt that Miss Chen was relieved.

The palace maid brought tea and snacks and placed them in their hands, but no one had the intention of moving, even Miss Zheng, who only used a bowl of porridge, felt a little full, not to mention others.

Waiting for the concubine to be helped out, several people hurriedly got up and saluted, the concubine was also kind today, and soon let them get up and sit down again, yesterday the concubine was kind to everyone, today obviously more preference for Miss Zheng and Miss Zhou, deliberately asked a few more words.

Miss Chen is unwell, but now she is just enduring it, it is impossible for a careful person like the concubine not to see it, but as if she knows everything, she persuaded them to taste the pastries in the palace, when Emperor Yan came, Miss Chen's lips were almost bloodless, Mo Shu's peace of mind was somewhat sympathetic to Miss Chen, but her expression did not show anything, but pretended to be like Miss Chen, there is still a difference between the real and the fake, although Mo Shu'an can pretend to be uncomfortable, but her face is not as pale as Miss Chen, thanks to Mo Shu'an's whiteness, I also deliberately used powder when dressing up today, so that I don't show the filling.

Emperor Yan didn't come by himself, he also brought the five princes and the eighth prince over together, after the concubine took everyone to salute, Emperor Yan let the concubine get up, and let the concubine sit beside him, which made Mo Shu'an and the others get up, Mo Shu'an didn't know what the others were like, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look up.

When the five princes saw Mo Shu'an, their expressions did not change in the slightest, it was not a secret who the concubine invited into the palace, and Mo Shu'an's identity was known to him in Puyang Temple, and the five princes also guessed why the concubine made such a scene, and sighed in his heart that Mo Shu'an was quite unlucky in family affairs, and there would be no more, sympathy? The fifth prince does not have such superfluous feelings, even if it is Mo Shu'an, who is a little interested in him, whether these four girls live or die, and what the ending is, it has nothing to do with him, he sympathizes with others, who will sympathize with him.

Emperor Yan didn't mean to embarrass people in the end, but said, "Get up, since the concubine likes a few of you, stay in the palace for a few more days to accompany the concubine, and I will send someone to tell the elders in your family." ”

"Yes."

At this point, where are they allowed to have other answers than yes?

Emperor Yan was able to take the time to bring the two princes on a trip, but it was just to save face for the concubine, and the concubine smiled and asked the palace maid to take them to the side room to rest first, and then asked, "I look at these four girls well, but everyone likes them differently, it seems that some people like peonies and some people like ink bamboo, I don't know which of them is blessed to enter the eyes of the five princes?" ”

The fifth prince did not have a subordinate who could speak with him, but he brought a pen and paper with him, not a brush, but a charcoal pen, wrote down a few words and handed them to the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch read, "Yiqiē obey the father and the concubine." ”

The concubine pursed her lips and smiled, "I was picky, and I didn't choose it, so it's better for Your Majesty to decide, the concubine thinks that the girl of the Zhou family is more lively, the girl of the Zheng family is more dignified, the girl of the Chen family is a calm character, and the girl of the Mo family is a little soft." ”

Emperor Yan frowned slightly, and the concubine said as if inadvertently, "The Fifth Prince's Mansion is a little too quiet. ”

The eighth prince smiled, "My son thinks it's better to give it all to the fifth brother." ”

The concubine frowned and reprimanded, "What nonsense, I don't want to apologize to your fifth brother, but the one who wants to choose your fifth brother's concubine is your fifth sister-in-law, how can you be so disrespectful." ”

The eighth prince seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "It's my younger brother Meng Lang, don't be angry, my younger brother is definitely ......."

The fifth prince hurriedly helped up the eighth prince and didn't let him bow down, and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

Emperor Yan smiled, "Zuo'er is still young, their brothers would make such a joke, the concubine is too serious." ”

The concubine said, "Your Majesty, the fifth prince is Zuo'er's brother, no matter what, Zuo'er shouldn't be like this, besides, the Zhou family has the title of county earl, and Miss Mo is also the daughter of the county, although Miss Zheng and Miss Chen's families have no titles now, their ancestors are all important ministers who have meritorious service to the country." ”

The eighth prince said, "My son knows that he is wrong. ”

When Emperor Yan heard this, he sighed in his heart at the concubine's intentions, and said, "Then Miss Zhou, it's better to be lively." ”

The Five Princes are grateful.

The concubine's expression softened a little, "Just wait for His Majesty to give you the marriage." ”

Emperor Yan answered, and said a few words to the concubine, Emperor Yan left with his two sons, and the concubine personally sent Emperor Yan out, and when he came back, he leaned on the cushion and instructed, "It's boring to accompany the palace all the time, take them to the imperial garden to see the scenery." ”

"Yes."

The concubine asked, "Is the queen's side arranged?" ”

"If you go back to your master, it's all in order."

At this time, where did the concubine still have the gentleness and tenderness just now, and her eyes were gloomy and asked, "What about the prince?" ”

"It's also arranged."

The concubine replied and didn't say anything more.
