Chapter 56: The Mockery of the Concubines
This night, Zixia Pavilion did not make any noise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, the sun still rises on time, and the harem begins to come alive at dawn, just like countless days!
Although Zixia Pavilion tossed most of the night last night, today, Xia Jieyu still got up early.
Although she has no grace, she is always in good spirits and ready to meet the holy car! So, no matter how late you slept the night before, you can always wake up the next day at the moment when the day is just dawning, and there is no delay for a day!
In Xia Jieyu's opinion, she is the most powerful one of all the concubines, the whole harem, in terms of background, except for the queen, no one can compete with her, so she always feels that she is superior in this harem!
It's a pity that her arrogant background is just an empty shelf, and anyone who is a little smarter can understand that Xia Jieyu's backstage Xia Xiang really supports the person is not Xia Jieyu, that is the most popular courtier in front of the emperor, ordinary people can't move at all, and they can't see it, this Xia Jieyu is not something you can see if you want to see it, but if Weiyang Palace is invited, Xia Xiang will be invited to Weiyang Palace immediately no matter how busy she is!
So, someone joked in private: "Xia Jieyu's background is good, but it is useless at all, Xia Xiang's elbow has already seen the wind and turned the rudder to Weiyang Palace, Xia Jieyu should go cool!" ”
As for the origin of Xia Xiang and Weiyang Palace, it was a matter of the first year of Daxing, and others naturally do not know, after all, there are very few concubines left in the palace in the first year of Daxing, so in the eyes of everyone, Xia Xiang's preference for Weiyang Palace is just to please the saint.
However, what kind of character is Xia Wanfeng?
He is already in the position of prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, he is Xi Ze's most trusted and relied on courtier, and he holds the highest power of the Great Jin Dynasty in his hands, does he really need to see the wind and rudder to please the emperor's favorite concubine to consolidate his position?
Perhaps, it is necessary to deal with the relationship with Weiyang Palace, however, to please is absolutely not needed and disdainful!
He is an official in the court, if he says that he supports the harem, it can only be Shen Luyi!
For Weiyang Palace, there is no support, it's just that Yun Tian has a life-saving grace for Xia Wanfeng, so Xia Wanfeng will treat her differently!
It's a pity that Xia Jieyu may not be able to see clearly! So, this resentment is even deeper!
Her own brother didn't take care of her, but went to take care of Weiyang Palace, could she not hate Yun Tian for snatching away the "dependence" that originally belonged to her?
She has never been a latecomer, she came to the middle palace in a soft sedan chair, and saw Yun Tian's sedan chair stopped at the door of the middle palace from a distance.
Xia Jieyu glanced at it lightly and walked into the middle palace.
It's still early, Wang Ningxuan hasn't come out yet, Xia Jieyu walked into Zhaoyang Palace, sat down in her seat, and Yang Meiren opposite smiled and said: "Jieyu is early!" ”
Xia Jieyu looked down on Yang Meiren's background, and Yang Meiren said hello to her here, but she just glanced at it lightly, nodded lightly, and there was no follow-up.
Yang Meiren was not angry, and said slowly: "I don't know what was new in Zixia Pavilion last night, but there were screams again and again?" Xia Jieyu, what's wrong? In the middle of the night, such an exclamation was heard, and it was strange to be cold! ”
This Yang beauty lives in Changchun Palace, not far from the Zixia Pavilion of Yonghe Palace, but she didn't expect her ears to be so sharp, she only screamed a few times, and she heard it so clearly, seeing that everyone was questioning, for a while, Xia Jieyu only felt extremely embarrassed, and said curtly: "There is nothing!" ”
Here, the concubine Yue, who lived in Yonghe Palace with Xia Jieyu, answered: "I also heard that cry, everyone also cares about you, if there is really something, you say it early, we can also help get an idea!" ”
Everyone below echoed as if they were watching the excitement: "Yes, yes...... What the hell is going on? ”
Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, Xia Jieyu's face turned pale.
Her eyes glanced at Yun Ting, who was sitting on the top, and saw that Yun Tian looked away, not moving, as if she didn't care at all about what everyone said!
Xia Jieyu was impatient with the concubines' questions, and replied with a frown: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw a mouse, and I was scared for a while, so I screamed a few times, is it worth asking so thoroughly?" ”
But as soon as the words came out, she couldn't wait to slap herself in the mouth, only to see Yang Meiren giggling over there, and said, "It turned out that I ran into a mouse, and I saw that it scared you!" ”
Xia Jieyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Yang Meiren and asked, "Why, Yang Meiren is bold, she won't be afraid when she sees a mouse!" If I had known, I should have asked you to go to my Zixia Pavilion to catch mice! ”
When Yang Meiren heard this, her smile suddenly froze, although her position is not high, she is also a small master, this catching mice is all done by subordinates, this Xia Jieyu is so crowded with her, doesn't she treat her as a subordinate, in fact, she has a low position and no grace, and there is nothing to be afraid of, she adjusted her face slightly, and said slowly: "What's this...... There's nothing wrong with that! It's not troublesome, it's just ...... Xia Jieyu, you are of noble birth, relying on the most popular Xia Xiang in front of the emperor, why is this Zixia Pavilion so unclean, there are rats infested, why doesn't Xia Xiang take care of it? ”
"You ......" This is deliberately stepping on her sore spot, all the concubines covered their lips and laughed low when they heard this, Xia Jieyu's face suddenly turned pale with anger.
His eyes turned to Yun Tian hatefully, but he saw that Yun Tian was still sitting on it as if nothing had happened, not talking or laughing, as if he couldn't hear.
Here Xia Jieyu was about to have a seizure, but a clear female voice came: "The queen has arrived!" ”
Looking up, Wang Ningxuan had already come out with Ling Wei's hand, and there was no time to quarrel at the moment, so the concubines got up one after another, squatted down and asked for peace: "The concubine asks for peace for the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old!" ”
Wang Ningxuan sat down on the phoenix seat, as gentle as in the past: "All the sisters are flat, give the seat, come here, and serve tea!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Everyone thanked them and got up and sat down!
Wang Ningxuan looked down and asked, "What are you talking about?" Why is it so lively? ”
Xia Jieyu hurriedly stood up and said, "Please let Niang Niang call the shots for her concubines!" ”
Wang Ningxuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Jieyu replied: "Yesterday night, the concubine's Zixia Pavilion somehow came out with a few mice, and the concubine screamed a few times when she was scared...... But...... All the sisters laughed at the concubines! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was another low laugh below, Wang Ningxuan's eyes swept downward, he cleared his throat slightly, everyone smiled, and no one sneered.
