Chapter 22: The Fallen Phoenix Is Not as Good as a Chicken
The palace of Qin is divided into different categories of princesses with beauty and talent, and Yingzheng is fortunate to be a talented concubine, which is said to be in order to give birth to the heirs of the teaching and love of a good mother, and most of the people who have been canonized as Mrs. Jing and others who have been canonized, have heirs and are alive are also talented and virtuous ladies, and the children who have been taught are also a top talented and beautiful woman.
Of course, there are also those who are favored by their beautiful and bewitching figures, such as Mrs. Wu and her son Hu Hai.
Judging from Hu Hai's straightforwardness and naughtiness on the day of the wedding banquet, Hu Hai should be spoiled, not that cheerful and outgoing people generally have a gentle temperament, but by feeling, he doesn't seem to be an executioner who kills his brothers and sisters.
As for Mrs. Wu, who may affect the change in his life, although Mrs. Wu looks at people with her nostrils and looks like she is arrogant and proud, the verbal pressure she brings is not even half of the pressure of Mrs. Jing's aura that looks wide and solemn.
Luo Cong carefully investigated and said to me, **The ladies who come out and walk around on weekdays are all people who are loved by Yingzheng or have a stable status, and there are many who are hidden for various reasons such as only giving birth to daughters or being snubbed or offending Yingzheng, among which there are many noble people, but falling out of favor is falling out of favor, and it is a terrible reality to not see it.
I had a whim, and seriously asked Luo Cong if I was one of them, but Luo Cong disgusted me with my frustrating words and didn't answer.
I guess I'll do it, at least if it goes on like this.
"Princess, let's eat." Luo Shallot set up the dishes and chopsticks and came over to call me to eat.
I answered the call, sat down at the table where there were a few plates of boiled vegetables and thin soup and dried rice, and ate quietly.
I know that this is already the food that Luo Cong has tried his best to get in, and if I don't eat it, Luo Cong will be even more sad.
"The tea cake that Mrs. asked someone to send yesterday seems to be a little rancid, you can remove it."
I have eaten such a meal, Luo onion must be even worse, I left tea cakes for her and she has been refusing to eat, I have to keep it for one night and let her take it.
"What dessert would the princess want to eat today?" Luo Cong smiled and whispered, "Xiangjue has sent silver taels again." β
Qi has always had the act of giving gifts to the important ministers of the Qin State, and it is also thanks to the treasures given to me by the way, otherwise with the monthly payment given by the few young envoys who were seized by the Qin slaves who were powerful in the dogs, Luo Cong said in the imperial dining room that he was afraid that he would not be able to change these dishes.
It has always been fast when going downhill, and Yingzheng's months of ignoring it have given enough signals that the palace is not favored by the people, so the people are ruthless and steady in Qixi Palace.
"I'm tired of dessert, so let's bring four eggs."
Although Luo Cong tried her best every day to buy food with limited gold and silver, and was afraid that the imperial chef would have to bribe some to let them do her best, she didn't have a sense of nutrition after all, she just wanted me to eat as much as possible, and she wouldn't calculate the ingredients of nutritional value.
Four eggs, two for me and two for her, enough nutrition for a day.
"Whoa!"
Although I don't know why I insist on eating eggs, Luo Cong, who has accompanied me to live a hard life after entering the Qin Palace, will try his best to meet my needs whenever I want.
In fact, we don't have any money, the gifts given by Yingzheng and the princesses when we were canonized as ladies are all valuable, but Luo Cong stubbornly refused to use them. She said that I am a high-grade princess of Qin, the princess of Nirvana of the Qi Kingdom, and I can't spend the money on buying clothes and making gifts, and I will make others laugh, saying that I want to keep enough money to support the faΓ§ade.
To put it simply, it is to slap a swollen face and become fat.
Luo Onion was happy to guard those jewels and live a life of hunger and clothing belt with ease, and I was happy to indulge her, but I was pitiful for her to be out of favor for me and had to supervise the work of those who did not follow the people.
Sometimes when there is something delicious, I will eat less and stay, and then I will half-coax and half-induce her to eat some by eating it or spoiling, so I am more and more comfortable with these scenes. Luo Liang always asked me worriedly when I stopped eating a little bit: "Princess, is it unappetizing?" β
"No, it's delicious." I usually give her a satisfied and peaceful smile.
"And how do you use so little?"
"I want to stay in shape, not too fat."
Goo~~(β―_β°)b, this era is a bit avant-garde to say this, huh?
"Why?" She tilted her head stupidly in thought.
"If you're fat, you're not beautiful."
"How come, how good it is to be chubby, only those poor people who can't eat, run, and wear warm will meet the terrible yellow muscles, princess, don't be stupid."
Luo Liang was simply anxious, as if it would be her fault if I lost weight.
I know that she loves me. "Got it, but it's ugly if you're too fat?" I comforted her and smiled, "If you don't believe me, you can eat yourself as a fat man, and if you are beautiful, I will learn from you, and if you are ugly, don't blame me." Hee-hee. β
Thought I was going to say that if she was ugly, I wouldn't eat fat, but I didn't expect that I would playfully pull it on her, Luo Cong instinctively slapped me in a hurry, and then suddenly reacted and felt that he had gone too far, and knelt on the ground in a panic.
"The slave and maid deserve death for the crime of dereliction, please punish the princess." She was really scared, so scared that her body trembled on the ground, and she couldn't lie on her stomach.
This girl, after so many years, I thought she was trained by me to lack these useless rules, but I didn't expect her to be deeply affected to the point that it could not be eliminated.
I was about to say that she had a lot of things to do to help her up, but suddenly there was a voice from someone outside the hall.
"Mrs., Princess Huayang asks to see you."
As soon as the words fell, Luo Cong didn't care about the punishment anymore and hurriedly got up and leaned over me and whispered: "Princess Huayang is the eldest princess of King Qin, her mother died early, and she is now fostered in Her Royal Highness Mrs. Jing." β
I knew and invited Princess Huayang in.
Princess Huayang looks a little similar to Yingzheng, with a tall eagle nose, a tall figure, and a shrewd look in her eyes.
Examining and looking at me, Princess Huayang's right hand was pressed on her left hand, her hand was hidden in her sleeve, she raised her hand to increase her forehead, bowed ninety degrees, and then got up, her hand raised her eyebrows again with the amplitude of her rise, and finally put down her hand, which was counted as the first official meeting, and she gave formal etiquette.
"See Mother Creek!"
After the salute, Princess Huayang looked at my reaction fixedly, and looked at me with a look that could not be concealed.
I didn't know what I meant, there was no need to be affectionate, and there was no reason to be cold, so I smiled faintly and sat still. "Princess Huayang, please take a seat." I didn't ask her what she was doing, she would lose if she said too much, I think she would naturally say something about it.
When she came, she naturally had something.
Huayang didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he thanked him and was generous.
"Concubine Jiuwenxi is a saint of Nirvana, and her charm is extraordinary, why is she so-Qingluo?" I couldn't tell if Hua Yang was laughing or chatting, in short, she wasn't laughing obviously.
I smiled and punned, "I don't like to be troublesome." β
Huayang smiled a little thicker. "Oh?" She was puzzled and said, "That's not a coincidence, I heard that there are a lot of things about Concubine Xi." β
I took a pretentious sip of tea and curled my lips calmly.
"It seems that Huayang, you are not here to visit the door, if you have anything to say, just say it clearly." I have been going around the bend for a long time, and I am afraid that my weak temperament will be exposed.
