Chapter 8: Greetings (3)
The queen took a sip of tea and instructed Zhuyu to take out two gifts. The soft wattle dyed with dancôme was attached to the brocade box, and he looked good: "I'm afraid these two are the newcomers who came this year, right?" It looks quite peugeot. ”
The queen motioned for Zhuyu to hand them the gift, although Chu Xuan didn't mind giving them an extra gift, but she couldn't make her look grateful. After all, she is not a person who has never seen the world, even if she is valuable, she can't wear it if she doesn't have a grade, and it is not okay to put it aside at will, and she has to be worshiped as a baby.
But there was nothing to do, no matter how much she didn't want to see this gift, she still had to kneel down and thank her. If it was Concubine He's level, maybe half a squat would be enough, but how low was Chu Xuan's status? How tall is He Tingge? Not at all proportional.
Chu Xuan turned her head and caught a glimpse of Sun Ruyun kneeling down with gratitude on her face, and she had to kneel down with her. This Sun Ruyun was really born for the harem, and her acting skills are comparable to a generation of actresses.
Then, the queen was very comfortable with their appearance. In front of everyone, the only gift to them is to establish a prestige first, and see that whatever the palace takes out is a rare treasure that you have never seen, and I am in charge of this palace, and I can give whatever I want. Of course, there is also the meaning of wooing, although Song Wei is her person and was quite favored before, but since Yigui Concubine entered the palace, her favor has gradually thinned, and now she has long been angry. Therefore, Mingguang Palace urgently needs a newcomer to envelop the emperor, so that it can be better to share Concubine Lin's favor.
Chu Xuan calmly returned to his position and stood with the salute in his hand, ignoring Concubine Lin's eyes that could kill people with her eyes.
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "The Queen Mother must have picked it up too, we should also go over to say goodbye, it's not good to delay the hour." As soon as the queen finished speaking, everyone was gearing up, this rookie must not be sloppy when he sees the queen mother for the first time, not to mention that he may also go there to ask for peace when he meets the emperor.
Chu Xuan moved his legs and relaxed while everyone was tidying up their hairpin skirts. These women are not ordinary talkative, why are the queens and queen mothers in TV series and novels disbanding everyone without waiting for them to say a few words, and what is the situation now? After chatting for a long time, I didn't see them catch their breath, and she, a bystander, was tired.
The point is that his position is too low, and he doesn't even have a seat.
On the way from Fengluan Palace to Yongshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, Chu Xuan still walked over with a group of concubines full of resentment. Although it was late spring, it was also very hot, and Chu Xuan was also a person who was not tolerant of heat. Along the way, I don't know how many handkerchiefs I used.
After a lot of hardships, I finally arrived at the Yongshou Palace. What I was waiting for was the Queen Mother's closed door, which is a rare thing. The personal grandmother beside the Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother was invaded by the cold, and it was inconvenient to see you. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the end of spring is almost summer, where will it be cold? But even so, they had to go back obediently, and they didn't dare to complain.
For those old people, this is not uncommon. The Queen Mother is not harmonious, and everyone has long known it, but looking at these two high-ranking and powerful people, who dares to play tricks?
It is rumored that when the current saint chose the princess, the queen mother's family also had a woman of appropriate age, and the dowry had already been decided. As a result, I don't know what happened, and I was taken first by the Queen Xiao, which made the Queen Mother not hate the root of her teeth.
Chu Xuanshen walked back to Yihuaxuan step by step, and just sat down and let out a long breath. After standing all morning, who can get up comfortably.
Here, Chu Xuan had just entered the hall with his front foot, and Sun Ruyun followed with his hind foot. I have to say that these two people are still natural enemies. Chu Xuan embarrassed her so much this morning, how could she let her go, you must know that she is one level higher than Chu Xuan.
Sun Ruyun changed her obedient appearance in the Fengyi Hall and Changchun Palace, and her commanding appearance was really staggering. Chu Xuan didn't have time to grind with her at this time, so he opened his mouth and said, "What are you doing here?"
Sun Ruyun raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and raised her hand to slap her. Chu Xuan received a slap on his left cheek, which was so red and swollen that he was tall, his head tilted to one side, and his face was full of disbelief.
Sun Ruyun looked arrogant, and her voice was gentle: "I just learned the palace rules, and I forgot them all now?" Could it be that you have forgotten how to bow down? ”
Chu Xuan clenched his fists, and his nails sank deep into the palm of his hand. She took a deep breath, calmed down the anger that came to her heart, and made a full salute in a dignified manner: "Concubine invites Sun Cairen to be safe." The ghost knows that when she did this, she kept silently thinking in her heart that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
Sun Ruyun nodded with satisfaction: "This is like words, otherwise people will see your appearance, and they will think that our Mingguang Palace does not know the number of etiquette."
Chu Xuan forcibly suppressed the urge to dismantle her, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, the concubine remembers Sun Cairen's teachings."
As soon as Sun Ruyun saw Chu Xuan's softness, she became angry, and turned around and went out with a swagger. As soon as Sun Ruyun left the palace gate, Chu Xuan's face on this end changed, and it became darker and darker. She is not a virgin and will not unconditionally forgive anyone for anything they do, on the contrary, she holds a grudge. This humiliation is really enough.
As a result, none of the porcelain on the table was spared, and all of them were broken to pieces. But fortunately, as soon as Chu Xuan's anger came out, he obviously calmed down a lot. With a calm face, he told Yurong Yufu to pick it up, and then went to the Internal Affairs Office to change a set of tea sets.
Fengyi Palace
The queen was listening to the news from Mingguang Palace, saying that the queen mother had sent her personal grandmother to give Concubine Lin something in person. Isn't it because I can't come to see you because of the cold? As a result, there is still leisure to let the people around you give gifts? It hurts that she, the queen, has no face at all, and she doesn't look like a little bit.
The gilded hollow armor on her tail finger was broken by her. Oh, leave her, the queen, aside, and go to show favor with a concubine? The Queen Mother is really "sick" and her head is not clear.
However, the Queen Mother gave things down, and she, as the queen, naturally also gave things, and let that Lin Juan take a good look at it clearly, so as not to get carried away for a while.
The queen waved her hand, and the thousand-heavy Wei purple pattern of Shu brocade, the relief of pink and blue glaze, and the gold dot emerald inlaid Dongzhu earrings led to the Changchun Palace. There are always a few unwritten conventions in the palace, although they are not explicitly marked in the palace rules, but everyone has followed them to this day. It is not more precious than what is given by those who are in a high position, nor is it more thin than what is given by a person of low rank. But today, the Queen Mother and the Queen seem to have torn their faces, and the things given by the Queen are far more valuable than those given by the Queen Mother.
