The fourth time, the battle for beauty
As soon as Concubine Yuan Shufei sat down, she looked at Liu Qingyan coldly, and said unhurriedly: "I heard Liu Cainu just now say that Ling Zun is going to build a shrine for the queen's mother, right?" ”
Liu Qingyan subconsciously responded.
"Ugh." Concubine Yuan Shu sighed suddenly, her brows furrowed. "Sister, what's wrong with you?" The queen looked strange. "The concubine is lamenting my sister's great blessing!" "Huh?" The queen was slightly stunned. "Although the concubine comes from a small border country, she has long heard that the Jiansheng Temple is quite meritorious for the people worshipped! My sister is already a mother in the world, and now if she has an ancestral hall, who else can she be besides my sister? The queen said: "Sister, don't you make the palace ashamed when you say this?" Xu is sister didn't hear clearly, the palace has already said, don't mention the matter of the Jiansheng Ancestral Hall, just leave it at that. "Whether it's built or not, my sister's blessing is good anyway!" How is it like a concubine, if someone builds a shrine for a concubine, then the concubine doesn't have to laugh out loud in a dream? After Yuan Shufei finished speaking, she laughed to herself. But no one present laughed except for the queen. Everyone looked at each other, and their thoughts were complicated: the dispute in the Guothen Palace can be seen from this. "Sister, this lady is too arrogant, isn't she?" Xia Pianpian quietly turned her head to Yu Yuqing and whispered, and Yu Yuqing hurriedly signaled her to silence. But she is also thinking in her heart, this concubine is so big and small, and the queen has not shown the slightest dissatisfaction from beginning to end, which can only show that the status of the concubine is unbreakable, and even the queen can't help but give three points, right? "Okay, okay, it seems that the concubine has too many words, doesn't Liu Cainu still have to perform?" Concubine Yuan Shufei took the topic by herself and turned her gaze to Liu Qingyan. Liu Qingyan was a little overwhelmed by her look like this. Or the queen immediately said: "Yes, Liu Cainu, I heard that you play the piano very well, do you want to feast your ears on the palace and everyone today?" "Ah, yes, yes, Qingyan prepared a song "New Rain in the Empty Mountain", which is ugly." Liu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile. She then called the palace maid to bring the piano, sat down, and stroked her jade fingers, very devoted. Yu Yuqing sat quietly, but she didn't listen much, because she had been thinking about the relationship between Empress Chang and Concubine Yuan Shu. At the end of the song, both the queen and the concubine praised it. In the next performance, the other girls are all fighting for beauty, the queen and the concubine are very serious from beginning to end, everyone will praise two sentences after the performance, sometimes the queen talks a little more, sometimes the concubine talks a little more, but the two seem to be very harmonious, you say a word to me, you can see that the two are quite happy. "The palace is very happy today, and all the girls in this year are extraordinary. It's not too early, and the palace will go back to Fengcheng Palace first. It's a pity that I can't see the table of each girl, but everyone is in the palace for the next month, and there is still a chance to meet. Therefore, please stay here in peace, and your majesty will naturally be able to see you. Of course, this palace hopes that everyone can follow the rules and not go wrong. The main palace is also happy to see a peaceful and peaceful harem, so that His Majesty can also save a lot of heart. I hope that the girls will keep this in mind. "I respectfully follow the teachings of the queen mother, and send the queen mother Yuan Shufei Niangniang." In the uniform thanksgiving of the girls, the queen and Concubine Yuan left together. Seeing the two drifting apart, the girls breathed a long sigh of relief. "Alas, the queens are finally gone, and they are about to suffocate me." Suddenly, I heard a girl not far away say crisply. "That's it, the queen looks so gentle and demure, but when she speaks, she is so not angry and mighty, I don't dare to pant loudly." The other girl chimed in, patting her chest vigorously. "But I think the queen is quite gentle, if we can stay in the future, we don't have to be afraid of her!" The third man shouted lightly. "Oh, my Cui An'an Cui Cai, you're a big taboo! Why don't you stop it?! Father-in-law Cen shouted in fright and hurriedly ran over. Everyone was stunned. "Grandpa Cen, did I say the wrong thing?" The man turned his face and pouted, feeling strange. "It turned out to be Cui An'an, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Shaanxi Mansion!" Xia Pianpian said "oh" for a moment, and then sneered lowly. "What are you laughing at?" Yu Yuqing was puzzled. "Look at Cui An'an's arrogant appearance, in my opinion, Your Majesty must not like her, maybe she will be ugly when the time comes!" Xia Pianpian looked at Cui An'an with a somewhat contemptuous expression. "Don't talk nonsense, how do you know that Your Majesty must not like her?" Yu Yuqing had a straight face. "I don't feel comfortable looking at her anyway." Xia Pianpian muttered. "I said Cui Cainu, you have learned the rules in this palace almost in the past two days, how can you still call the queen mother, hers? It doesn't matter if the big guy hears it, if someone else hears it and it reaches the ears of the queen, he will definitely fall into a big crime of disrespect, which is a big deal! "Gong Cen is serious and serious. When everyone heard this, there was still some laughter, but they immediately stopped it. They understand that they must listen to and remember Grandpa Cen's words. Cui Anan only then expected the severity of the matter, and couldn't help but panic. Father-in-law Cen sighed helplessly: "In short, everyone must be cautious in their words and deeds. We hope that this year's girls will be safe and smooth, but don't be like before-" Father-in-law Cen suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly stopped abruptly, feeling a burst of chagrin in his heart. But the girl who still has sharp ears heard it famously: "Father-in-law, you said that it was like that before, did something happen to the former girl in the palace?" This question may have asked the doubts in everyone's hearts, and a pair of immature and curious eyes looked at Gonggong Cen in unison. Father-in-law Cen was stunned: "I ......, alas, I blame our family for talking too much." Then he got up, "Don't ask the girls." The less we know about this before, the better. In a few days, the queen will ask Her Majesty to summon the current year's women, and when the time comes, she will also invite these women to leave the West Garden, and then canonize them and re-reward the palace to live. In the past two days, let's learn the rules of the palace again! "It's almost time to return to Xiyuan. After everyone rested for an afternoon, it was dinner time, everyone got together again to chatter, Yu Yuqing and Xia Pianpian have never been used to this kind of noisy scene, so they agreed to go to Xiyuan for a casual walk. - Although they have been coming to the palace for a while, the complexity and depth of this deep palace still make them feel very unfamiliar, so Yu Yuqing and Xia Pianpian have been enjoying the scenery of the palace, but they didn't go long and found that they were lost. The night was silent, and birds and insects chirped. Yu Yuqing looked around, at this time, the palace maids and eunuchs of each palace were busy serving in their own palaces, so there was no one who could ask for directions at all. "Sister Yu, should we go in that direction?" Xia Pianpian frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Xiyuan in the opposite direction and said. Yu Yuqing hesitated and agreed, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart. "So what are you waiting for? Let's go over there first, in case we meet someone along the way, why don't we ask? It's better than standing here stupidly! Before Xia Pianpian finished speaking, she pulled Yu Yuqing forward. Yu Yuqing had no other way, so she had to let Xia Pianpian do it. "Ahh The two of them walked out of this small garden on the west side of the West Garden, which was already very remote, and suddenly a man's painful groan came from the still silent night sky. Although the voice was not loud, it could even be said to be forcibly suppressed, but it was extremely obvious in this place where no one came in the first place, and it happened to make both of them listen.
