Chapter 427: Secret Fight
Although Meng Guanshuang had entered the palace twice before, she had only seen Concubine De, and it was the first time that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had met.
On the main seat of the main hall, there sat an old woman who seemed to be sixty or seventy years old, with silver frost on her hair and a heavy phoenix hairpin and pearl emerald hair. The dark purple and red brocade clothes are very festive and dignified.
The white and chubby face carries a group of blessings, which shows that under pampering, the mentality is excellent.
On the seat next to her, sitting is the current queen of the world, with a bright yellow phoenix robe, a hairpin with five phoenixes hanging from the morning sun, and the shining jade beads swaying lightly in front of her forehead, leaving a trance shadow, which seems to have cast a mysterious shadow on her face.
"The courtier Meng Guanshuang (Meng Guanyue) see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an! See the queen mother, the mother of the mother Chitose Chitose! Under the guidance of the palace maid, the two sisters knelt on the tuanpu one after the other, performed three bows and nine bows, and met the rest of the concubines present.
"Excuse me! Sit! The queen mother said with a kind smile, and immediately a palace maid guided the two to sit in their positions.
The palace maid led Meng Guanyue to sit next to Concubine De, which was understandable.
Because Concubine De is the biological mother of the Six Princes, Meng Guanyue was assigned to marry the Six Princes, that is, Concubine De's future daughter-in-law.
It's just that he was actually led to the head of the queen mother, a vacant seat between the queen mother and the virtuous concubine, Meng Guanshuang was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but look up at the kind old woman.
"Sit down, that's the place left for you!" The Queen Mother bowed.
"But ......" Meng Guanshuang hesitated to see the faces of the others, especially the virtuous concubine who was still in the first place. But he didn't dare to look at it at will, it seemed too childish.
Queen Qiao Ya said with a smile: "The elder doesn't dare to resign, the queen mother values the county lord, so sit down!" ”
Meng Guanshuang only felt that sweat was about to ooze from her head, and she always felt that this seat was not so easy to sit in.
But at this time, if you want to refuse, you obviously can't, so you can only bite the bullet and give a blessing again: "The courtiers thank the Empress Dowager for sitting!" ”
"Although you grew up in the people, the etiquette rules have never been slack! Yes, yes, Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Meng should be very pleased! The queen mother saw that she was very thoughtful, and immediately nodded approvingly.
"That's what the Queen Mother said. The character of the county lord has to be passed on to the grandfather of the country and Mrs. Meng. Not only is the etiquette thoughtful, but also keen, ingenious, and has a unique experience in maintaining beauty and fixing the appearance! Concubine De did not hesitate to praise Meng Guanshuang. ignored Meng Guanyue beside him.
The Queen Mother immediately smiled and said, "I've heard you say it a few times a long time ago!" If it weren't for the fact that you don't have selfish intentions. The mourning family thinks that the lord of Huanzhu has secretly stuffed you with any benefits. Always let you help her say good things! ”
"The queen mother doesn't know, the concubine is the benefit of returning the lord of Zhu!" Concubine De touched her smooth skin and said, "Look." Isn't that what it is! ”
"Sister Concubine De, don't show off your skin in front of the queen mother, what you know is that you are saying good things for the lord of Huanzhu, I don't know, I think you are showing off, I think you are younger and more beautiful than our sisters!" A young concubine sitting at the end stroked her delicate face, and her gaze fell on the queen's face, intentionally or unintentionally.
Among the emperor's concubines, Queen Qiao Ya is the first original wife, she is already middle-aged, in her forties, even if she was young and beautiful, she won the honor of being crowned, but she can't stand the emperor's draft every four years.
Meng Guanshuang's heart chuckled inexplicably, and she always felt that she had become the fuse of the concubine fight.
I can only pretend that I don't understand anything, and I don't make any reactions and repercussions except for keeping the corners of my mouth upturned.
Concubine Rong wanted to use Concubine De's words to secretly satirize the queen, trying to provoke a conflict between the queen and Concubine De.
But Concubine De can become a concubine, how can it be so easy to be used.
I saw her smile and said casually: "Look at what Sister Rong said, among our concubines who have princes and princesses, which one of us dares to compare her appearance with her younger sister!" It is precisely because I am not as young as my sister that I asked the lord of Huanzhu to tailor a set of skin care methods for me, and I can't be compared to my sister too miserable. In fact, I wanted to share this set of secret recipes with the sisters earlier, and if the harem concubines can maintain their appearance, the emperor is naturally very happy. It's just that the lord of Huanzhu said that beauty is not something that can be promoted in a day, and it takes time to verify. And today is almost the day of verification that the lord of Huanzhu said before, so I was a little excited to enter the palace through the lord of Huanzhu, and wanted to let the sisters take a look together! ”
Concubine De laughed while talking, her voice was full of emotion, she couldn't see the slightest hint of anything aimed at Concubine Rong, and she didn't show off herself at all, sarcastic about the queen's old Zhuhuang, her words were extremely smooth, and no one could find fault with it, unless someone was making trouble unreasonably.
The queen mother glanced at the queen beside her without a trace, and then glanced at Concubine Rong, who didn't know the height of the sky, and said with the same smile: "The shop of the beauty salon of the lord of Huanzhu County, the mourning family has long heard of it, but she has always thought that she is an old woman who is about to step into the coffin with one foot. However, looking at Concubine De's face today, it is very crystal clear, but I don't know what you have wiped on your face! ”
"The Queen Mother was peerless when she was young, and now she is still charming, her natural beauty is difficult to give up, and she is also the most beautiful woman in the dynasty without any fat powder makeup!" Concubine Rong didn't know if she felt the queen mother's flattery, and immediately flattered her.
In the harem, the power is most in the hands of the queen, but as long as the queen mother speaks, the queen always has to take care of some face, so the women who survive in the harem are jealous of offending the queen in order to compete for the wind, and they are not willing to offend the queen mother.
"Old, how can you compare with you young people!" The Queen Mother waved her hand at Concubine Rong disapprovingly, and still looked at Concubine De's face curiously, "Concubine De, don't sell Guanzi, tell me how you maintain your face!" ”
In fact, after the death of the first emperor and the promotion of herself to the queen mother, she no longer cared about her appearance, after all, a lonely and widowed woman, no matter how beautiful she looks, no one will appreciate it. (To be continued......)
