Chapter 57: The Arrival of the Princess
Actually, this is not the first guest to visit. However, before they were all small concubines with relatively low status, nobles, Chonghua, Ronghua and the like, the identity of the princess really can't be despised by Rongxue.
Just her identity, that's it, after all, her identity is also there, she is the county lord canonized by the emperor, and the queen's cousin, the sister-in-law of the county lord Wen Hui, that is, Bai Guifei is polite when she sees her, and the queen treats her affectionately. Just a concubine is nothing.
However, this princess is not an ordinary person, she is different from ordinary concubines. Although she is a concubine, she is the daughter of the Wang family and has a noble status, in this palace, in terms of background, that is, the queen mother and Bai Guifei can compare with her. Also, she's very favored. The palace pays attention to the rules, the status is high, and the distinction between respect and inferiority is very clear. However, there is another one that can be above the status and the humble, and that is the emperor's favor.
With this alone, the princess can stand out in the palace and be domineering. In addition to these reasons, the significance of the princess and the other concubines of the family is also different in that the royal family's land is on the edge of southern Xinjiang. If you make friends with the princess, you will be able to get the help of the Wang family in southern Xinjiang in the future, and if you offend the princess, in the future, life in southern Xinjiang may be even more difficult.
Such a person, if he has a good personality, Langxue will definitely like to make friends. However, all the deeds that Lang Xue heard about this princess proved that this princess was not a good person.
With a headache, she got up, changed her clothes, put on some precious and rich jewelry, and instructed the maids. Go and put on the best pastries, and make the best snow buds for tea, and re-incense in the house.
As soon as she was ready, the princess came over in a curling manner.
When the two met, Lang Xue saluted the princess. Wang Concubine smiled and helped her up to make snow, took her hand and walked into the house, saying as she walked, "Lord Wen'an." I've always heard that you are a beauty, but unfortunately I have been staying in the clan land and don't know the ladies in the capital. Later, I entered the palace. I didn't have a chance to see him. At that time, I heard about your reputation in the palace, and I thought that if I could see what kind of immortal I was. How nice it would be. ”
"Originally. I thought that this wish would not come true. Who knows. You actually want to marry in southern Xinjiang, and you were made the county lord by the emperor and lived in the palace. See you at the Queen Mother that day. My heart rejoices. It's really worthy of its name. What a fairy-like beauty. ”
Lang Xue hurriedly said: "Niang Niang praised it." My posture of the willows, where can I compare to the demeanor of the mother. ”
Wang Concubine was very helpful when she heard this, and she looked at the snow more and more, and said: "Before, I heard about the three beauties in the capital, and I thought to myself that this capital is a place where the world's outstanding people gather, and this beauty must be the most beautiful beauty in the world." How do you know, after the two of them entered the palace, Fan Guiren, Ma Guiren and the two of them entered the palace, I was really disappointed when I saw it. It turns out that the three beauties are like this? It's not that it's not good-looking, it's just that it's still beautiful, where is it to the extent that everyone says? ”
"It wasn't until I met my sister that I realized that the title of the three beauties in the capital was really not given for nothing. It's just that my sister lives up to her name, and those two are really a foil for my sister. I think that these maids around my sister are more delicate than them. ”
Rong Xue was already sweating in his heart. Isn't this pulling hatred for her? Fan Guiren, who is favored by the emperor, Ma Guiren is actually worse than her maid, if this is spread out, Fan Guiren and Ma Guiren still don't hate her?
Lang Xue hurriedly said: "How can I compare with Fan Guiren and Ma Guiren with my rough appearance?" When I first evaluated these three beauties, it was only for the sake of my age and my sister-in-law that I was given such a nickname. Actually, compared to Fan Guiren and Ma Guiren, I am really far behind. ”
At this time, the sister-in-law Wen Hui, the county lord, came to remind the princess not to talk too much, she also has a backer. Who doesn't know the reputation of Lord Wenhui? It was one of the few women in Da Chu who held great power. Also, his brother is the emperor's most trusted person, the friend of the general horn, Zhao Chongyi, if he offends Langxue, Zhao Chongyi is not in the capital, and the emperor takes care of Rongxue as his own sister, which is not equivalent to offending the emperor.
The princess is not stupid. I was going to say a few words, but when I heard Lang Xue say this, my eyes couldn't help flashing, and I thought to myself, I heard that this Lang Xue was from a low background, and he has not known Zhao Chongyi, the Duke of the Northwest, for a few years, what insight can he have? However, after only a few words of conversation today, I found that this person should not be underestimated. He put away his contempt, and stopped saying things that were excessive.
turned to smile and asked where the clothes and jewelry were made, why the style was so good-looking, and the handiwork was so good. And why is this skin so fair, delicate, and what is the secret recipe for maintenance.
Rong Xue also smiled and answered one by one, and the two of them began to talk about the topics of clothes and jewelry, trendy styles, makeup, skin care and other topics that these women were very concerned about. These are not nutritious, but they are relatively light-hearted topics, and they are more than an hour to talk about.
Lang Xue felt a little strange, why did the princess talk this nonsense here for so long today. However, fortunately, she didn't say those over-the-top words again, Chen Wenhui felt a little more relaxed, so she chatted with Wang Concubine all the time. Anyway, it's already afternoon, and the morning classes are all over, so there's nothing to do.
After chatting for such nonsense for a long time, Concubine Wang began to thank Rongxue for the gift she received. That gift was different from a gift for an ordinary concubine. The inside is carefully selected. Some specialties of southern Xinjiang. There are also some fancy fresh satin produced in the South Seas, and generous wool produced in the Northwest. Wang Concubine likes it very much. I also think that Langxue is a sensible person and gives himself these expensive gifts. So she personally came to visit the snow.
The two of them were polite. It was already dark.
Lang Xue secretly wondered, it's time to eat, why didn't the princess say she wanted to leave? She didn't want to keep the princess for dinner. You must know that it is a very dangerous thing to keep people in the palace for dinner. If you eat well, it will be a big deal.
So, there was no mention of snow. However, Wang Concubine still didn't leave, and after the topic of gift-giving was over, Wang Concubine talked to Rong Xue about the situation in southern Xinjiang. She grew up in the clan land, and the Wang family was the closest to southern Xinjiang, and the princess had also been to Guangzhou City in southern Xinjiang before. Therefore, I talked to Lang Xue, and I also wanted to give Lang Xue a token, so that if there was anything in Southern Xinjiang, I could contact the Wang family's people in Southern Xinjiang for help.
This favor was a big deal, and Ling Xue was a little surprised, but the princess was not joking, but really took a fine carving brand carved from wood from the little maid's hand. Tell you to make snow be sure to collect it.
Ling Xue could only thank him cautiously.
After such a grind, it was already dark. There is no way to make snow, so you can only leave the princess to eat. originally thought that the princess would leave and leave. Who knows, the princess said: "Actually, the food in the palace is all the same taste, and they are all made in the imperial dining room, and the beauty is beautiful, but the taste is really not good." Especially since we eat alone every day, it's not interesting. My sister and I hit it off at first sight, and we bothered her here. The two of us ate together, and it was a little more fun. I just don't know if I'm disturbing my sister. ”
She said so, what could she say, she could only say some fluffy words, and hurriedly called the maids to fetch the two people's examples, and the two of them ate in the flower hall, and asked the imperial dining room for Jinhua wine, of course, the imperial dining room has a share, and the wine is not served in the first place. However, as soon as Lang Xue came rich, he called the maid to stuff red envelopes into the imperial dining room. Second, Langxue is a person valued by both the emperor and the queen, and the people in the imperial dining room dare not offend. Looking back, this coquettish guest said in front of the emperor, I live in the palace, and I don't give a little wine if I want to, so the emperor still doesn't punish him? Have they sinned? Besides, this coquettish is really generous, and he is worthy of being the sister-in-law of the county lord of Wenhui.
In this way, the imperial dining room specially renovated a table of fine dishes, and Jinhua wine was sent over.
The princess ate and drank very happily, and said: "The dishes for my sister in the imperial dining room today are delicious, much better than the one I eat in the palace every day." It's really a blessing for my sister. ”
Can you respond to this, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang said that she was laughing." Where can I usually eat this. It's just that the mother is here today, and the imperial dining room stammers and gives us these delicacies. I'm stained with the light of a mother. ”
With such a handful, Wang Concubine was suddenly happy, and she felt more and more that Rong Xue was a wonderful person, and she was even happier to eat and drink here. Such two people, while eating, drinking, chatting, Wang Concubine likes the topic of clothing and jewelry trends, and her taste in snow has always been very high, and she has seen the best things in the mansion of the county lord of Wenhui for so many years, so she can naturally chat with Wang Concubine. Besides, Rong Xue was born in that place, and when it comes to talking and socializing, these daughters of the family are really not her opponents.
She easily praised the princess. Wang Concubine is beautiful against such a person, and she will not compete with her for favor, the backer behind her is still very tough, and she is so good at talking, can you not like it? The interest in this chat is even stronger. In this way, the two of them played until the second watch, and the princess returned to her bedroom under the escort of a group of female eunuchs.
After she left, she freshened up the snow and lay down on the bed, she hadn't socialized like this for a long time, and she really felt tired. However, I couldn't sleep when I was snowing. She always felt that this matter was a little strange, why did the princess stay here for so long today. It's not normal. (To be continued......)
