Anton Li pinched the fingers hidden in his sleeve, and his mood at this moment was simply complicated. After the emperor gave him a marriage, he learned that the emperor actually gave Shang Shigong's 'dull' daughter to An Donghua as a concubine, and his mood was extremely happy, and he only felt that the emperor was finally disgusted with An Donghua.
At that time, what he was most worried about was that the emperor had not given up on Andonghua and pointed him to a noble daughter of a big family. Fortunately, the emperor finally did not disappoint him, but chose the merchant's Shang Jinxiu.
Who is the merchant? It's just a grassroots background, where is she worthy of being a princess? What's more, this woman is still talented and beautiful, which is even more disgusting. But the emperor didn't know why his brain went crazy, so he actually chose her.
Since the will of marriage, Anton Li has been waiting to see Anton Hua's liveliness, and finally let him wait until the day when the two of them get married. also deliberately chose a delicate beauty, and also came out of the cave room to spend candle nights.
He got up early in the morning today, thinking that Anton Hua didn't know how depressed he was after seeing the bride last night, he felt comfortable all over, and even came to see the emperor on purpose, just waiting to see Anton Hua and Shang Jinxiu with his own eyes.
What did he see? Who is the person standing next to Anton-hwa? Did he bring another woman to the consecration?
Anton Li wanted to think like this, but he knew that it was simply impossible. Andonghua has been rejected by the emperor, where does he still have the courage to pull a woman to face the saint casually? Wrong! This woman is obviously wearing a princess's dress!
Could it be that she is really Shang Jinxiu? The legendary 'talentless and unattractive' businesswoman, what does she look like?
Anton Li is eager to gouge out the eyeballs of those who spread false news. Such a look is even said to be forgotten, those people don't have eyes!
Anton Hua saw that Anton Li had been staring at Shang Jinxiu. He stepped forward slightly to block Anton Li's gaze and looked at him coldly. Anton Li felt a burst of displeasure in his heart. But with the emperor still there, he had to force the anger in his heart to maintain a gentle smile on his face.
An Donghua felt disdainful when he looked at his hypocritical appearance, and snorted coldly in his heart, he withdrew his gaze and ignored An Dongli directly, and then pulled Shang Jinxiu to walk to the emperor and kneel down and salute.
The emperor rewarded the two of them with some things each, so he asked An Donghua to stay and speak, and ordered someone to take Shang Jinxiu to the harem to greet the concubine.
Only then did An Donghua let go of his hand and glanced at Shang Jinxiu worriedly, with a clear meaning in his eyes - you be careful.
Shang Jinxiu smiled at him soothingly. Exit the main hall and be led by the palace people towards the harem. The palace people were the people next to the emperor, and as they walked, they instructed: "The noble concubine has always been kind, if she sees you, she will definitely like it, you don't have to be too nervous." ”
Shang Jinxiu thanked him with a smile and quietly stuffed him with a purse. The purse contained ten finger-sized gold beads, bulging and swollen. The man pinched it in his hand and gently stroked it, and the smile on his face became a little more sincere.
He told Shang Jinxiu some precautions, but he didn't say too much. After all, the most taboo thing in the palace is to have many mouths and tongues, and he is not familiar with Shang Jinxiu, so naturally he will not tell her too crucial things.
The palace was too big, and the two of them walked for a while before arriving at the concubine's Yunlan Palace. In fact, since the death of Empress Xin. Concubine Yun Guifei was bent on moving into Empress Xin's Fengyuan Palace, but unfortunately she occasionally mentioned it to him while the emperor was in a good mood, but the emperor didn't agree. She was afraid of annoying the emperor, so she didn't dare to mention it again. But my heart is very unpleasant.
But she still has to pretend to be generous and kind, the more she disguises. The more distorted my heart becomes.
She had already sent someone to inquire about Shang Jinxiu, and even the merchant's past had been investigated. It's a pity that the people in her hands are worse than the people in the emperor's hands, and what she found is only superficial, and she doesn't know that there is a mysterious master hidden behind the merchant.
Because of the rumors that spread in the capital, they all said that Shang Jinxiu was 'dull', 'talentless and unattractive', and 'so ordinary that people would forget it', Yun Guifei naturally believed it. She has always paid attention to maintenance, and she was born very beautiful, but she was a little worse than Queen Xin.
If it weren't for Empress Xin's penchant for being petty, but she has always been 'generous and kind' and 'understanding', the emperor would not have pampered her for so long.
After the death of Empress Xin, she became the first person in the harem, and she had already cleaned up the women of the entire harem. In today's harem, although she is old, her beauty is absolutely unmatched.
This morning, she deliberately dressed up after getting up, just to compare Shang Jinxiu fiercely and stimulate this vulgar girl. How do you know that they really met, but Shang Jinxiu is completely different from the rumors.
Yun Guifei looked at Shang Jinxiu who was kneeling in front of her, and she almost broke the finger sleeves on her fingers with hatred, but she still had to pretend to have a 'gentle and generous' appearance on her face, which really hurt her internally.
She deliberately made Shang Jinxiu kneel for a while, but she didn't do too much. When Shang Jinxiu was kneeling, she gave a look to the person who was waiting next to her, and the person left willingly. After that, she smiled and talked to Shang Jinxiu for a while, drank the tea she toasted, and gritted her teeth and gave a lot of rewards.
Although she wanted Shang Jinxiu to kneel all the time and not get up, it was best to draw Shang Jinxiu's face again, but on the surface, she had to give Shang Jinxiu a seat.
Shang Jinxiu had already seen her small movements, and knew that this woman was afraid that she was trying to find someone to toss her, so she was a little apprehensive while disdainful. Although she became the princess of Jiaozhou, the people in the harem were not easy to offend, otherwise when she left, there would be many people to deal with the merchants.
Suppressing the depression in her heart, Shang Jinxiu smiled and played Tai Chi with Yun Guifei.
Concubine Yun Guifei wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Donghua is a good boy, it's a pity that something like that happened to the Xin family, and his mother also went early, he has been hit hard since then, and his personality has changed greatly, now that you have become his concubine, enlighten him more." Don't let him always think about the past and get depressed. ”
Shang Jinxiu nodded obediently and didn't say much. Anyway, it's a lot of mistakes to say more, she doesn't want to accidentally say the wrong thing and become a handle in the hands of Yun Guifei.
Yun Guifei pulled her for a while, but she didn't expect Shang Jinxiu to just nod or shake her head, and her words were pitiful, and she was really 'stupid' like a rumor. She felt depressed for a while, but suddenly thought that this girl had an empty face, and her temperament was really 'dull', so she didn't need to care at all.
Shang Jinxiu was thinking of looking for an opportunity to say goodbye, but at this moment he heard a crisp sound of ringing, and someone walked in quickly, saying as he walked: "Mother, mother, Ling'er is here!" ”
Shang Jinxiu sat on the pier and saw a bright girl running in in a hurry, she was dressed in a pink palace dress, and her eyes were smart, lively and playful. After she came in, she first greeted Concubine Yun, and then looked at Shang Jinxiu. At this glance, her face became very ugly.
She raised her chin proudly like a proud peacock, and looked at Shang Jinxiu with great disdain: "You are my eldest brother's concubine?" ”
Shang Jinxiu saluted her: "I've seen Princess Yuling." ”
Princess Yuling immediately frowned, and said not very politely: "Yo, you still know my identity?" Now that you know, why don't you kneel yet? ”
Shang Jinxiu's brows also wrinkled, although the girl in front of her was a princess, she was her sister-in-law after all, how could there be any reason to kneel for her?
Shang Jinxiu deliberately looked at Yun Guifei with a puzzled face, with a look of 'I don't understand anything'.
Although Concubine Yun Guifei was proud in her heart, she couldn't force Shang Jinxiu to kneel for Princess Yuling, so she said: "Don't take it to heart, Ling'er has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she is playing with you." ”
Speaking of this, she deliberately said to Princess Yuling: "Ling'er, you still don't apologize to your sister-in-law!" ”
Princess Yuling turned her head and snorted coldly, even more disdainful of Shang Jinxiu: "A person who came out of a broken household is also worthy of being the sister-in-law of this princess?" I really don't know how my father thought that he actually chose you to be the eldest brother's concubine, it's really too much to bury the eldest brother! ”
Although she said this, a pair of eyes looked at the ruby jewelry on Shang Jinxiu's body. This set of ruby jewelry was taken out of the space by Shang Jinxiu, but Li Shuhua asked her, and she lied that it was given by her seniors. Although Li Shuhua felt that it was too precious, she didn't let her go back.
The rubies on the top are crystal clear, uniform in color, and perfectly faceted. Inlaid with gold, it is luxurious and atmospheric, and it is not vulgar at all. As long as it is a woman, there is no escape from its charm.
Princess Yuling took a fancy to this set of jewelry, she rolled her eyes, and said: "If you give this set of jewelry on your body to this princess as a gift, this princess will forgive you for being unreasonable just now." ”
She only said forgiveness, but she refused to admit that Shang Jinxiu was her sister-in-law.
Shang Jinxiu smiled slightly, looked at her, and said without humility or arrogance: "No, this set of jewelry was given by an elder, and I can't live up to his wishes." When she said this, she didn't care about Princess Yuling's angry eyes, and continued, "My family is just a small family, and I really can't get too expensive meeting gifts, if the princess is not in a hurry, it is better to wait for me to understand your eldest brother and see if he has any suitable objects that can be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Princess Yuling was about to be angry with her, her eyes widened, and she said directly: "No need! This princess has taken a fancy to you, you have to give it today, and you have to give it if you don't give it! ”
When Shang Jinxiu heard this, Yu Guang glanced at Yun Guifei, she didn't expect Yun Guifei to help her out of the siege at this time, but she felt that this woman was really vicious. She has also heard of the identity of Princess Yuling, who is not the emperor's own child, but the emperor's niece.
Her father was the emperor's younger brother, who died for the emperor that year, and her mother left with her husband, leaving this one daughter. The emperor saw that she was pitiful, so he adopted her as his adopted daughter, originally wanting Empress Xin to raise her, but Princess Yuling didn't like Empress Xin, but liked Concubine Yun at that time. So later, she has been raised by Concubine Yun's side.
Concubine Yun is also very calculating, relying on this princess to let the emperor run towards her, but she deliberately raised the princess into such a domineering character!
At this time, she deliberately sent someone to find Princess Yuling to make things difficult for her! (To be continued......)
