Chapter 9 Talented People

The palace fan in the hands of the palace people in the Lizheng Hall shook gently, and the cool breeze rolled up Zhao Jing's cuffs embroidered with silver silk dragon patterns. He leaned back against the wide back of the coiled dragon chair, his fingers tapping on the table with obvious ease.

Jin Zangjiao's white and smooth forehead was slightly oozing a thin layer of sweat, and the faint flush on her face became more and more obviously moist. I don't know if it's rouge moisturizing or fragrant sweat.

Looking at Zhao Jing's two inky black eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes were fixed on himself, and his eyes seemed to be smiling. As if to say, 'I know that it was you who talked about me that night, and I caught you doing the right thing, see what you have to say?' I can't help but think of cats and mice.

Simply raised his head and read in a clear voice: "The uproar is majestic and majestic." Zhao Jing listened to this clear and sweet voice, which was like a jade flute, as beautiful as a spring breeze. It was the woman who spoke on the lake that night.

After careful inspection, I saw that Jin Zangjiao's hair was hanging low like silk, her eyebrows were faintly slender like light smoke, and a pair of hazy Ruifeng eyes were slightly upturned, as if shrouded in fog. I suddenly thought in my heart, these eyes are a little more attractive than Miaorong.

Zang Jiao saw Zhao Jing staring at her with a pair of deep and bright eyes, and her smooth face became more and more shy. The skin that was originally like mutton fat and white jade was crimson, as bright as a peach blossom, and the petite red cherry lips were gently pursed, and the appearance was bright and beautiful.

Concubine Shu stroked the pointed armor of red gold garnet on her jade fingers, her eyes narrowed slightly to reveal two rays of cold light, and she looked Zangjiao up and down with Zhao Jing's gaze. The more I looked at it, the more I was amazed.

This Kim family looks beautiful and soft, but he doesn't know it. The twin peaks are slightly undulating and attractive, the waist is plump and round and slender, like flowers with buds and stamens, and Chengze will bloom after rain and dew.

There was a sour wave in his heart, and he secretly said that this time the new Baolin was the most beautiful with the Gu family and the Jin family, but now it seems that Gu Hanyi is more than a step behind.

The corner of her eye swept over Zhao Jing, who was showing her admiration, and the colder she became. He coughed lightly with coquettishness: "Official, I've been watching this Baolin for a long time, do you like it or not?" ”

Zhao Jing withdrew his gaze, and asked Zangjiao with a slight face: "The appearance and demeanor are not bad, your father is only from Qipin County." raised a good daughter, I don't know what talent I can learn? ”

Zang Jiao lowered her head and replied slowly: "The little girl Xie Shengren praised that my father was born in the imperial examination, in addition to being a diligent deacon, he also taught me and my younger brother some poems and books. The little girl was mediocre in intelligence and only skimmed a few books. On weekdays, I still learn some needles and fingers with my mother, and occasionally play chess for fun, and I don't have any outstanding talents. ”

Concubine Shu curled her lips and smiled: "Official, this Jin Baolin is very modest. However, the official family has always liked women who are talented and outstanding, and this needle finger female red is a skill operated by a small household, but it is of little use in the palace. It's a shame. ”

Concubine Xian was noncommittal, and pointed at Mo Lanyi with a smile: "My sister's words are wrong, the official family didn't say it, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and she is gentle and obedient." I think Campbell has a radiant complexion, but it is the best in this session. Concubine Shu's two eyebrows were furrowed, and she was about to speak.

Zhao Jing waved his hand to stop: "That's it, since you like female celebrities, let's go to Zhiting Palace Fang Wanyi." She has always only liked to sit in the palace and embroider some purse hand towels, and you will not be lonely if you go to accompany her. Concubine Fang Cai said that your complexion is bright, like beautiful jade. I will give you the word '玢', Jin Cairen. ”

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly a little undercurrent, and the palace attendants on both sides of the palace looked at this talented person a few more times, and secretly remembered in their hearts, and they should be cautious and respectful when they see it in the future. Concubine Shu suppressed the anger in her heart, and said to Zangjiao with a forced smile:

"Aren't you grateful? You are the only talented person who has won the title of official today, and this honor is unique. I knew that the official family liked female red embroidery, and the concubines also went to learn some better.

Otherwise, let the talented people go to my palace, and I can let her give her advice. Embroider a purse for the official family today, and embroider a fan bag for the official family tomorrow. The official said that it was good? ”

"Don't mess around with the vase" Zhao Jing said to her half-truthfully. Concubine Xian also smiled and said: "Sister Shu has always liked to laugh, not to mention that Changtai often comes to ask for peace from you, and she has just taken over Yan Cai and Su Cairen." I see that your Yuxiu Palace is going to be crowded. ”

"Okay, I'm also lacking, except for those who have been assigned to the palace, you can decide which main hall the other promoted or unpromoted ones should go to. Li Companion, serve me back to the Qingxin Palace. Zhao Jing stood up and grabbed the arm of the eunuch Zhaosheng beside him and ordered......

Concubine Xian saluted uprightly: "Congratulations to the official family." Concubine Shu pursed her delicate red lips and saluted reluctantly, except for the palace people in the rest of the palace, who accompanied the emperor. and Zangjiao and other talented people Baolin knelt down and bowed to send the holy car.

When Zhao Jing's figure disappeared outside the hall, Concubine Shu lazily waved the palace fan in her hand and sat on the chair and said to Concubine Xian: "After this afternoon, I am really tired." Since the holy will of the official family has been issued, I am just in charge of the etiquette in the palace, and this arrangement of the palace is the internal affairs of Sister Xian, so it is inconvenient for me to interfere. ”

Concubine Xian didn't even move her eyebrows, and sat on the chair calmly and responded: "Since my sister has said this, I naturally don't want to let my sister suffer anymore." My sister will go back to the palace to rest early, I still have something to tell them, so I won't send my sister. ”

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and stood up: "Yilan, Yi'an." What are you still doing, Sister Xian is very busy here, let's go. "Yes, sis." Yilan and Yi'an hurriedly came up to hold her arm, and the group left the Lizheng Hall in a huddle.

Zang Jiao and the others were still standing solemnly on the ground, and Concubine Xian suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled: "All the sisters are tired, and there is no need to be too formalistic if you are sisters in the palace in the future." Come on, give all the talented people Baolin a seat and serve tea. ”

The palace people got busy one after another, moved the brocade pier and lined up in the palace, invited the little nobles to sit, and brought tea up. All the women stood for a full afternoon, and their legs were already weak and their backs were sore. Hurriedly thanked and sat down on the brocade pier. Zangjiao sat down on the pier, and suddenly felt her waist and legs loosen. He shook his body lightly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Concubine Xian watched them all busily drinking warm tea, looking relaxed. With a slight smile on his face, he slowly shook the sandalwood bone ball in his hand and said: "All the sisters have worked hard today, while there is still some time, I will tell my sisters about the things in this palace." Sisters, don't be afraid of this palace.

Since the advent of the dynasty, our officials have always been concentrating on state affairs. In this harem, in addition to the concubines who served with him when he was in the Dragon Qianbao Mansion that day, only a few concubines entered when he ascended the throne. This harem is a little thinner, and now only me and Shuniang are concubines, and there are two palaces of Hui and De that are vacant.

Among the nine concubines, only Song Zhaoyi, the lord of Hanzhu Palace, Huang Xiuyi of Luomei Palace, Shen Xiurong of Hepu Palace, Li Wanyi of Queling Palace, Fang Wanyi of Zhiting Palace and Wu Guiyi of Chenglu Palace. These people are all in charge of the throne of one house.

There is a system in this dynasty, and the nine concubines and below cannot live alone in a palace, but now that the concubines are not full, there are many Jieyu beauties and the like who can't all squeeze into the palace of these mothers.

The queen mother is benevolent, and she rewards two Jieyu to live in the east and west halls of one palace, and one of the side halls can live in a beauty or a talented person Baolin. They are all old people who have been in the palace for several years and are familiar with the rules of the palace.

The younger sisters are all new to the palace, and it is inevitable that many rules are not familiar, and they will be punished if they collide for a while. Therefore, they were all assigned to the palace of more than nine concubines, learning the palace rules and listening to the teachings.

When the sisters met the queen mother, and the mother prepared the jade wat to sleep, she was promoted to the grade or had a dragon heir, and the palace room was adjusted. The younger sisters are still living in the old place for a few days.

When I asked my mother for her favor, I would naturally send palace people and my sisters to move in. Now although you live in the same place, the level of the seal is different, and the rules of etiquette cannot be desecrated, and you should follow the rules of the palace. Do you understand the sisters? ”

Everyone quickly stood up and said in unison, obeying the orders of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian stood up and said with a smile: "Since we all understand, it's not too early, I still have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to tell the queen, and the sisters will go back." ”

The Lizheng Hall is located in the front row of the palace room on the west side of the inner palace of the Imperial Palace, and the south of the Lizheng Hall is the Wanhua Hall when the harem holds banquets or grand events. If you go to the east, it is the Qingxin Hall where the emperor usually lives, and the queen's Zhaoyang Palace will pass through the Funing Gate in the Qingxin Palace.

Originally, the emperor was supposed to live in the Zichen Hall in the middle of the inner palace, but the emperor and queen have always been in love. The sage felt that it was far away and inconvenient for the Zichen Palace to travel to and from the Zhaoyang Palace, so he simply lived in the Qingxin Palace, and it was more convenient to go to the Crane Year Palace than the Zichen Palace.

To the west side of the main hall, you can go to the imperial garden that is planted with countless exotic flowers and plants, the four seasons are purple and red, the exquisite nine-hole rockery made of huge Taihu Lake stones, and the nine-curved bamboo bridge next to the rockery is connected like a half-moon like Taiye Lake through the Qinxiang Pavilion.

Chunxi Palace, Yilan Hall and Wind Lotus Garden and countless other heavy palace pavilions and pavilions are built in a circle, the palace rooms where the palace concubines live are all on the west side of the inner city, according to the surrounding scenery pavilions, blue waves and winding water, both can have their own prosperous beauty, and different styles.

The new Baolin now lives in Heyun Pavilion and other places on the shore of the Bibo Lake in the northwest corner, which can avoid the new nobles from getting lost in the palace without knowing the path in the palace or trespassing on other concubines' palaces, and it is quiet and secluded to avoid idle affairs.

The saints were in a hurry when they came, and when they went back, they naturally walked slowly, and ordered the palace people to lead the way in front of them, and they watched the surrounding scenery on both sides.

Yan Qiaoyue and Gu Hanyi, Duanmu Ying Tingting walked in front of everyone, Yan Qiaoyue talked and laughed with Duanmu Ying and Gu Hanyi from time to time, but Gu Hanyi only looked at the front lightly, and occasionally answered a sentence or two at random.

Cao Caidie had been left far behind by them, and she had no intention of watching the scenery, so she and Meng Jinxuan lowered their heads and pursed their lips and walked silently behind.

Among the five treasures in the Companion Moon Pavilion, only Su Yuchan was promoted to a talented person, and at this time, she was walking alone behind Yan Qiaoyue and the others, Yuan Yanyan wanted to go up and say a few words to her, but seeing her cold expression, she simply turned her head and talked to Jiang Qin and the others.

Jin Zangjiao and Mo Lanyi have a graceful gait, and the little golden lotus walks on the smooth blue stone paved road with silk shoes. Behind her, Lin Yuzhen walked beside Mei Caiping, pointing to the green trees and flowers and chatting with Mei Caiping from time to time.

Zangjiao raised her eyes while walking, looking at the eaves and corners everywhere, and the heavy palaces and pavilions with carved beams and paintings. Or green bricks and blue tiles, or pavilions and pavilions. sighed faintly in his heart, this is where he will be old for the rest of his life, and he will be white-headed. Now that he has been promoted to a talented person, the father and aunt at home are also mixed when they learn about it.

A-Niang is still looking forward to returning home and looking for a gentle man who knows how to live a good life. Now he is full of wealth, but he can't see his father and his younger brother. A layer of mist couldn't help but rise in his bright eyes.
