Chapter 99
Feng Luan gently lifted the curtain and looked out.
As the sun rises, a thousand golden rays of light shine down from the sky, enveloping the entire palace walls.
The palace is exactly the same as in the previous life, with high crimson walls, gilded glazed tiles, and curly cornices, and the palace people stand silently everywhere, like a clay sculpture with an expressionless face. The carriage walked all the way on a soft blanket, and there was almost no sound. This is the case in the palace, love and hatred, life and death are not worth mentioning, entering here is like a cow's hair falling into the mud, forever silent.
In his previous life, he and his children dissipated silently.
"Hey." Concubine Jiang said for a long time, but she didn't see any reaction, and she was a little annoyed, "Are you listening?" I'm kind enough to remind you, wait a minute, don't know anything, make jokes, and lose the face of Duanwangfu. ”
Feng Luan swept his head, his eyes revealing an unexpectedly sharp coldness, "Shut up!" Don't talk much in the palace. ”
Concubine Jiang should have been angry, but her eyes were extremely sharp, and her momentum was even more terrifying, and for no reason it made people feel a sudden chill, not only could not be angry, but gave birth to an inexplicable fear.
I even had to hold the handkerchief tightly to straighten my waist.
The atmosphere in the carriage tensed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for it to arrive, and there was a palace man: "Your honor, please get off the car and change the sedan chair." ”
Concubine Jiang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got out of the car and changed the sedan chair, Feng Luan also changed the sedan chair, followed Princess Duan all the way inside, and then arrived at a relatively wide courtyard and settled down together. The courtyard is covered with girls from various palaces, and in the hall, there are princesses and side concubines of various palaces, which are specially prepared for the daughters of the princes.
Princess Duan came up to explain, "This is the palace, and there are outsiders, you should pay attention to your speech and behavior." ”
Feng Luan and Concubine Jiang responded in unison.
followed into the hall, brushed and brushed, and a room of ladies looked at Feng Luan. There's no way, who made her the well-known Concubine Feng who made a lot of trouble in the capital? First of all, the daughter of the princess of the family became a side concubine, and it was also the Duanwang Mansion where the hero saved the beauty and entered the palace, which was lively. Then he fought in the ring with Princess Duan, and actually gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in his mother's house.
Princess Duan led the two of them forward and saluted one by one.
The crown princess wore an apricot yellow special court dress, which was very different from other princesses, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." He glanced at Feng Luan carefully, "I didn't see Concubine Feng last year, but I can see it this year." ”
Princess Su was already in very poor health and couldn't get out of bed, so she didn't enter the palace this year.
Princess An is a quick-witted person, and she stepped forward and pulled Feng Luan to take a closer look, "Ouch! She smiled with everyone: "I heard that Concubine Feng is a first-class beauty, but I haven't seen it and I don't believe it, but now I see, I'm really convinced, I am definitely the first beauty in our capital." ”
Feng Luan was tired of this kind of deliberate exaltation, she was just a side concubine, waiting for one, what did the other princesses think? Where should the crown princess's face go?
So he only smiled shyly, "Thank you Princess Ann for your compliment." He looked at everyone shyly, "In the past, I heard that Princess An was the number one mouth in the capital, I didn't believe it, but now I met and realized that Lu Dao was true, so I didn't know how to answer Lu Dao." ”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange.
The first beauty in the capital is good to say, what is the first mouth in the capital? A princess who is a good one, a famous mouth? Is it the female ancestor of storytelling? Originally, Feng Luan was held too high, and other people's faces must not look good, but she learned it so well, but it became ridiculous for Princess An.
Everyone's minds turned to amusement, so they didn't stare at Feng Luan.
Princess An's face flushed slightly, and she sneered: "Hehe, you are really good at complimenting people." ”
Feng Luan smiled sweetly: "Thank you Princess Ann for your compliment." She couldn't help but be overjoyed, "I didn't expect that I would fall in love with Princess An so much." He looked back at Princess Duan again, "No wonder cousin, you said that Princess An is easy to talk to." ”
Princess Duan smiled slightly.
Princess An couldn't get off the stage when she was praised, and smiled dryly.
At this point, the women in the hall all knew that Concubine Daofeng was a fake and naïve, dressed as a little white rabbit, and was stunned to eat Princess An, who had always had a sharp mouth, so they didn't dare to provoke her again. After all, she is not an ordinary side concubine, and there is the Fengguo Mansion behind her, and there is also the support of the concubine.
After a while, a eunuch came over and invited the nobles to the front hall to meet the Queen Mother.
A group of female dependents went out in turn, in order of priority.
When it came to the Empress Dowager Qin's side, it was naturally several times more lively, with queens, concubines, little nobles, and a few princesses who are not usually common, crowded most of the room.
Feng Luan was once again used as a spotlight to give people a look.
Fortunately, there were Empress Dowager Qin and Empress Fan pressing the scene, looking at it, no one dared to suddenly say anything. Princess Duan led the way and saluted, and then stood according to the position,—— right, this is standing, there are too many people to sit at all, and many little concubines are still standing.
"Everyone is here." After the Empress Dowager Qin enjoyed everyone's visit, she was praised by the female dependents for half a morning, seeing that the time was almost up, and the female dependents were also standing so that their legs were about to break, so she said slowly: "It's too crowded here, everyone moved to the back, and they all sat down, resting and talking." ”
Hulala, another line of methodical large-scale migration.
In the crowd of people, Feng Luan felt that there was a gaze on him, and looked over, it was the eldest princess of Liyi who was dressed brilliantly. She smiled at her, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'll watch the field for you today." ”
Feng Luan could only smile back, not daring to say more.
The banquet on the first day of the first lunar month was divided into men and women, the emperor led the princes and ministers in front, and the queen mother Qin led the palace concubines and internal and external women, and both sides were lively and lively.
Although Feng Luan had been in the palace for eight years in her previous life, she was only a little palace maid, and she was not qualified to come here to make amends, so she had been following Princess Duan closely, so as not to really make mistakes and make jokes. After all, in the palace, the relationship between the concubines and concubines in the palace is antagonistic, and outside, the entire Duanwang Mansion is a small group.
finally began to take their seats, and the concubines divided two large tables according to their ranks, which were also mixed with young princesses and princes who were less than six years old. Then the princesses of each province sat at less than one table, and set up a few adult princesses, and the harmony of the sister-in-law was also a good example. The last ones are the side concubines of each palace, and there are not enough people, so they set up a few low-ranking concubines and gather a big table.
Eating feasts, listening to songs and dances, this is the standard process of royal banquets.
Feng Luan lowered his head and ate the dishes, in fact, this kind of regular dish in the palace was not delicious at all. It's all big fish and big meat, not to mention, and it's been made a long time ago, and it's been simmering on the fire, it's all oily, soft and rotten, and it is estimated that only the toothless old lady loves to eat it. Pick carefully, and there are a few small cold dishes left to eat.
was sandwiching a piece of rose water radish, and suddenly paused, and felt that someone on the other side was looking over.
Looking up, it turned out to be a few little concubines whispering. They looked at themselves and winked their eyebrows, and because they were young, they all showed a little curiosity in their eyes.
A little palace concubine whispered: "Ah, she does have a good color." ”
"That's it." The other little palace concubine in pink pursed her lips, quite a little disdainful, she snorted, "Besides, what if it's okay?" It's not on the side yet. ”
What do you care about the side or not?! Feng Luan frowned, and couldn't help but look at the man carefully.
It seems ......, a little impression. It seems to be Liang Guiren, that is, Concubine Li, who was raised by Mama Gong in her previous life, she should not have children now, and she is dressed in the clothes of nobles. remembers that she should have given birth to three children successively, and then step by step from nobleman, Jieyu, and finally to Concubine Li.
The little palace concubine was a little uncomfortable, and quietly tugged, "Okay, don't look at her." ”
Liang Guiren is the emperor's new favorite recently, and he is a little unbelievable, pouting: "Look what's wrong?" Is there anything unseemly, and you won't let it see? ”
Feng Luan didn't want to cause trouble, but she had a handle in her words, and she caught it, but she refused to let it go easily.
Therefore, he sneered, "Liang Guiren said that who can't see people?" ”
Liang Guiren was taken aback at first, he didn't understand how the other party would know him, maybe he ......, he was too famous and famous? I remembered that I was ridiculed by the concubine last time for my low background, so I was angry, but now I am wearing a soft persimmon and pinching it. So he also sneered, "Who to say, who knows it in their own hearts." ”
Feng Luan smiled: "I don't know, and I ask Liang Guiren for advice." ”
Of course, Liang Guiren couldn't name her, but when he saw her aggressive, he was also annoyed, "Really? Don't know what to do? I heard that some ministers have raised good daughters, concubines and concubines, all of whom are concubines. ”
Feng Luan hid his face and smiled, "Then why don't you look in the mirror and look at yourself?" ”
Liang Guiren didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Feng Luan looked her up and down, then looked around at everyone, and said word by word in a clear voice: "If a noble person has looked in the mirror, he should understand that he is also a concubine!" ”
"You, you ......" Liang Gui was so angry that his mouth was crooked and his nose was slanted, and he raised his voice, "You say I'm a concubine?!" ”
Originally, everyone basically didn't talk when they ate, and if they wanted to speak, they also gave a few polite greetings to the queen mother, the queen, or the high-ranking concubines, and the two of them muttered for so long that they had already attracted a lot of eyes. At this moment, Liang Guigui was so angry that he suddenly became louder, and even provoked even the Empress Dowager Qin to look at it.
"What's wrong, this is?" Empress Dowager Qin was bored, and she liked to have some fun to pass the time, and by the way, she was showing off her authority as the Empress Dowager, so she said: "Call them all over." ”
The matter is not very complicated, Feng Luan spoke clearly, and said it from beginning to end without a word.
Empress Dowager Qin frowned when she heard this, speaking of this, it turned out that it was all Liang Guiren's speech, not the daughter of the Feng family,—— originally wanted to make the daughter of the Feng family ugly, but she couldn't.
couldn't help but lack interest, so he said: "That's it, the little girls are the fastest to talk a lot, and they drink too much during the New Year, and it is inevitable that they will have a few quarrels, so don't talk about it later." ”
"That's not what I said." The eldest princess of Liyi sat next to the queen mother, and she answered: "The wife and concubine are the foundation of a woman's life, the wife is the wife, and the concubine is the concubine." She suddenly ignored Feng Luan, who was a concubine, and when she said this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, but in the next moment, she heard a sneer, "Liang Guiren, you are not a concubine?" Is it a wife? I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
Liang Guiren's face turned pale when he was scolded, and he distinguished: "No, I didn't mean that." ”
"And what do you mean?" The eldest princess of Liyi did not give up and asked.
No matter how favored Liang Guiren was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this eldest princess, so he had to kneel down and admit his mistake, "I ......, of course I'm a concubine, I was confused just now, and I didn't think clearly about saying the wrong thing." ”
"I'm so confused for a while." The eldest princess of Liyi sneered and turned her head to look at Queen Fan, "The queen mother is old and doesn't like to take care of things, so you have to preside over justice in this matter." ”
In a word, he kicked the Empress Dowager Qin to the side.
But according to the rules, it is true, thinking that a concubine of Liang Guiren's position did not offend the Queen Mother, of course, such trivial matters do not need to alarm the Queen Mother, and the Queen in charge of the Six Palaces should be dealt with.
Empress Fan smiled and said, "That's it, it's not a big deal." Of course she doesn't like the emperor's new favorite, but it's one thing to punish the concubine herself, and it's another thing to be forced to punish by the eldest princess of Liyi, so she only said lightly: "Punish Liang Guiren for half a year's monthly routine, go back and copy the "Female Commandment" and "Female Training" ten times each for reflection." ”
Liang Guiren bowed his head and kowtowed, "The concubine leads the queen's mother's admonition." ”
"Wait." How could the eldest princess of Liyi let her go so easily? looked at her sharply, "You bullied Concubine Feng for no reason, and said a lot of nonsense, are you going to leave like this?" ”
Liang Guiren bit his lip unwillingly and looked at the queen.
Empress Fan lowered her eyes slightly, and ordered: "Don't you hurry up and make compensation to Concubine Fengbian." ”
Liang Guiren clenched his handkerchief, gritted his teeth, and secretly hated in his heart, how could he provoke such a evil god? I know that I can't make amends today, so I can only be blessed, "It's all my words that have been wrong, and I ask Concubine Feng to forgive me." ”
"It's fine." Feng Luan smiled sweetly, "I'm not angry." ”
Liang Guiren was choked by her, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to swallow his anger and bow his head silently.
"The Queen." The eldest princess of Liyi smiled and said: "Look at it, Ah Luan was frightened the first time she entered the palace, you are an elder, reward her with something to suppress the shock." "Insisted on regaining face for Feng Luan in front of everyone, and even asked the queen for something directly.
The Feng family and the Fan family are also in-laws, Feng Luan's grandmother is the half-sister of Queen Fan, and it was originally said that the relationship between the two families is not too far. But because of the relationship between the previous generation, Taizu Feng Shufei and the late Empress Dowager Fan fought for a lifetime, and Empress Dowager Fan also supported Jinshang, so that Prince Ying and Prince Xiang did not have a chance to take the throne, so the Fan family and the Feng family were a little separated.
Speaking of which, Queen Fan is Feng Luan's aunt and grandmother.
Right now, in front of everyone, Queen Fan can't slap the face of the eldest princess of Liyi, nor can she slap the face of the Feng family, and it is not easy to look too stingy, so she has to take a pair of gold bracelets from her hands. She is over half a hundred years old, there are some traces of age at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, her smile looks quite kind, and she smiles: "Come, Ah Luan, you wear this to play." ”
Feng Luan hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and took it with both hands.
The eldest princess of Liyi looked at Jiang Gongfei again, and said with a smile: "You, who is a mother-in-law, also give something to appease and appease." ”
Although Jiang Gongfei is also the master's mother, compared with the eldest princess and the queen, is it that green onion? Besides, when it comes to this part, wouldn't it seem too picky if you don't give it? It's just that he didn't dare to compare with the queen, so he took a piece of jade from his waist and said with a smile: "I didn't see you last year, but if I see you today, it should be regarded as a meeting gift." ”
The eldest princess of Liyi looked at Concubine Yi again, Concubine Feng knew what her niece was doing, and she knew that the eldest princess was mainly supporting her niece, and without waiting to ask, she pulled out a hosta from her head, "Come on, I'll put it on for you." With a look of affection, he pulled Feng Luan, and put the diagonal hairpin on the sideburns.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Okay, this concubine Feng was said a few words, and she asked for the good things of the lady in the palace.
But the eldest princess of Liyi was not satisfied, she sighed leisurely and said with a smile: "Ah Luan, I have the cheekiness to ask for you a circle today, and I can't say anything if I don't give anything." "More generous, take off a blood diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg on your hand, and show a deep ring mark on your finger, which can be seen to be caused by wearing it for many years, so this ring is naturally a beloved thing.
Empress Dowager Qin looked at the ring that was as red as blood, and said in surprise: "You have to give her the heart of the blood phoenix!" ”
Empress Fan was also surprised.
Although the other people present didn't know what the "Heart of the Blood Phoenix" was, looking at the blood-red color and the size of a pigeon's egg, they also knew that the Dao must be of astonishing value.
Empress Dowager Qin's eyes showed a hint of envy.
Concubine Feng Yi is a clever and astute person, seeing that the eldest princess is making face, she intends to maximize the effect, so she quickly made a curious look and asked: "Queen Mother, what is the origin of this blood phoenix heart?" ”
Empress Dowager Qin said it again.
It turned out that this heart of the blood phoenix was a birthday gift paid by Westerners to the first emperor back then.
At that time, just a slippery blood diamond was already brilliant and radiant, and the first emperor cherished it and kept it in the box on the bookcase for paperweight. Later, when the eldest princess of Liyi came back from Huolian, the first emperor felt sorry for the eldest daughter who had suffered for many years, so he ordered someone to inlay the "Heart of the Blood Phoenix" as a ring, and then rewarded it to her daughter, saying, "Se Se is my beloved daughter, and she sacrifices herself for the country, so as to make up for one or two slightly." ”
The crowd couldn't help but make an uproar of "oh", all showing envy and a trace of jealousy that could not be concealed.
Empress Dowager Qin's heart is also sour, she doesn't even have a chance to touch it, and now she ...... it, so she will reward the little girl? But he was embarrassed to show shallow eyelids, so he could only smile bitterly: "Concubine Feng is really blessed, she has entered the blue eyes of the eldest princess, and even the heart of the blood phoenix is willing to reward you." ”
Feng Luan hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for the reward." "I feel a little hot, how can I go back to the eldest princess to give some shocking things, I am too much, my wife is ......, I take advantage of it.
The eldest princess of Liyi smiled faintly, "You are young, you look good in it, go back and take care of it." This thing is indeed very valuable, not valuable, but contains the father-daughter relationship between her father and herself, but it is precisely because of this ...... that she shook her head in her heart and did not continue to think about it.
Empress Dowager Qin felt a little unhappy in her heart.
First, at the beginning, the eldest princess of Liyi brushed her face and asked the queen to arbitrate the Liang nobles; The second is that the eldest princess of Liyi is too arrogant, and she even forced people to ask for things. That's it, not to mention that she asked for a circle, she also took out such a valuable ,—— she couldn't compare with it at this time, and it seemed a little stingy if she didn't reward it.
Therefore, he looked at Fengluan and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a beautiful person." With a bit of temperament, he turned his head to look at Concubine Feng Yi, "Your niece is a good girl, and she is better than you as an aunt." ”
Concubine Feng Yi's face did not change, and said with a smile: "The concubine is stupid and unattractive, and she is not as good as a young man. ”
The corners of the eldest princess Liyi's mouth curled slightly, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the little caution of the Empress Dowager Qin, so she only pulled Feng Luan and asked, "Brother Hao'er looks okay?" Well, ...... more than three months, will it turn over, right? ”
Feng Luan let out a "hmm", "Yes." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a small eunuch in the distance rushing over, panting, and saluting when he arrived, "The emperor sent the phoenix side concubine to speak. ”
Yes?! Everyone present was stunned.
Feng Luan was even more startled.
What, what! What did the emperor do when he didn't ask himself to go over? In this ......, there are so many people today, isn't it full of excitement in the capital again? I'm just a side concubine, what kind of emperor is this?
With a move in his heart, he couldn't help but look at Liang Guiren.
It's not worth it Feng Luan, everyone present has the same suspicion, thinking that Liang Guiren secretly went to sue the royal court.
Liang Guiren's scalp was numb by countless eyes, and he was even more afraid that the queen and others would really misunderstand, so he waved his hand again and again, "I've been here all the time, and I'm not going anywhere." Pointing to his palace maid, "I haven't left." ”
Feng Luan retracted his gaze at this time, it's right to think about it, Liang Guiren shouldn't dare to come to the queen yet, so why did the emperor summon him? Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to hesitate about the emperor's words, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go first." ”
Concubine Feng Yi looked a little uneasy, but she didn't speak.
The eldest princess of Liyi frowned slightly, what is the emperor doing? Why did you suddenly want to see Ah Luan? It doesn't matter if others see it, but the emperor ......, it's okay, just know the way.
Hmph, I'm afraid that after the emperor sees it, it won't be Ah Luan who will be shocked, but he-
It's also a lot of fun.
But after hesitating, he was still not at ease, "Ah Luan, why don't I accompany you for a trip." ”
"It's okay, thank you Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." Feng Luan blinked, acting quite playful and relaxed, "Anyway, someone led me over, I keep the rules, and the emperor can answer whatever he asks." ”
The emperor didn't like the eldest princess of Liyi, and didn't want her to be complained by the emperor for her own sake and passing over without being summoned.
Besides, he actually saw the emperor in his previous life.
At that time, Xiao Duo was taken to the front of the palace with himself, waiting for the emperor's voice to fall, the emperor's voice seemed to be sprinkled from a thousand feet in the sky, extremely majestic, but with a certain softness, "I am rich in the world, what is a palace maid worth?" Since the sixth child likes this palace maid, I will reward you. ”
At that time, he didn't dare to look up to see what the emperor looked like, but he remembered the voice.
"Ah Luan," the eldest princess of Liyi thought for a moment, asked her to put the "Blood Phoenix Heart" on her hand, and then said, "It's okay, you just have to behave." The emperor looked at this, thought of the first emperor, and then remembered his ......, he should not be embarrassed by Aluan anymore.
Feng Luan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for leaving first." ”
The author has something to say: Entertainment tabloid reporter, "May I ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I heard that you have recently won the titles of 'Little Face Slapper Expert', 'I am a local tyrant Bai Fumei', how do you feel?" ”
The eldest princess of Liyi (laughs), "Awards, awards~~" ╮ (╯▽╰)╭
