Chapter 18: Duan Concubine

18 Duan Concubine

It is still far away, and you can vaguely see the beauty of the flowers and willows with a slender and delicate little waist.

The light blue satin skirt flows bright in the sun, and the dark blue shawl hangs down the skirt, drawing an elegant arc between the skirt with the movement of the beauty.

Far away, I can't see the appearance clearly, but the demeanor of this move has revealed a strong beauty style.

Green clothes are very provocative. Dark, uneven, and green clothes will show a rustic atmosphere. Although the material of this dress looks luxurious and high-grade, if the wearer's appearance and temperament do not match, it will become a large cup.

If you can choose this kind of skirt to wear, you must have quite confidence in your appearance.

Li Rui stopped, and then suddenly stretched his hand to the side and back.

Zhao Yanrong also stopped, looking at the emperor's hand that suddenly stretched out to her, her eyebrows trembled.

Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Planning to hold small hands?

Seeing that the person on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, Zhao Yanrong could already see the face of Bai Yingying, so she reached over and held a small hand with her husband.

Li Rui's hands were hot.

It's dry, it's wide, and it feels powerful. Zhao Yanrong's hand was held tightly by him, and between the rubbing of her skin, she could feel the rough hard calluses between Li Rui's fingers and palms, which were the traces left by years of holding the pen and practicing the sword. Zhao Yanrong was pulled to his side, and the two were so close that she could even feel the heat on Li Rui's body.

She raised her head and saw Li Rui's overly good-looking side face.

Under the long and dense eyelashes, a pair of peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, and a few cold lights flashed under the eyes.

Zhao Yanrong admits that she is not familiar with Li Rui, this guy who looks like a very deep city government and is full of joy and anger, otherwise he would not have won the final victory in such a chaotic situation.

But at this moment, Zhao Yanrong felt that Li Rui was a very easy person to understand.

Just like now, although he had a high-minded, light-hearted smile on his face, he held her hand a little painfully, and his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with a hint of ill will. Zhao Yanrong felt it all of a sudden-there was a murderous aura!

So in my heart for the beauty, who swayed willows in the wind, graceful, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, I lit a piece of wax.

The beauty has willow eyebrows and starry eyes, white skin and beautiful appearance, and she is really a big stunner.

She has a vague impression of this person, who has always shrunk in Changle Palace to serve the Queen Mother, and it is really a "miracle" that she can meet her here!

Hehe!

Zhao Yanrong still used the word "hehe" in her heart to express the deep meaning that flashed in her heart at this moment with the greatest malice, the miracle girl was already facing her, oh no, it was him beside her who knelt down.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Chitose Niang!"

The style of this worship is really pitiful to me.

Who said that Concubine Rou in this palace is the most lovable beauty? This one in front of you is.

Concubine Rou can make people feel pitiful because she can't get out of bed at all, she is a creature as fragile as a piece of paper, this creature is pitiful without a hint of threat.

And this one, delicate with a sense of grace, dignified hidden a little temptation, every time he looks back, every smile, there is a calculated perfect timing and arc, which really makes Zhao Yanrong envious.

"The concubine is flat." Li Rui's voice was as warm as the spring breeze in March, and he also had a gentle and bright smile on his face, as if the murderous aura that flashed just now was just Zhao Yanrong's illusion.

"Sister Duanfei, please get up." Zhao Yanrong also smiled and threw a knife out.

Zhao Yanrong just turned eighteen this year, and Concubine Duan is twenty years old, two years older than her, but she has to be called "sister" by Zhao Yanrong!

In terms of age, she should be a sister!

Concubine Duan raised her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the hands of the emperor and queen who were clasped together.

As if she had been burned by a red-hot soldering iron, she quickly looked away, and her face was a little stiff.

"Emperor Xie, Empress Xie." With a shallow, slightly shy smile, Ying Ying got up, "The concubine just came from Yongfu Palace, I didn't expect to meet the emperor and queen here, it's really a concubine's luck." ”

"Isn't my sister serving the Queen Mother in Changle Palace? Why did this son come from Yongfu Palace? Zhao Yanrong felt that Li Rui's hand was warm, and it was very comfortable to hold, and seeing that the emperor had no intention of letting go, she was happy to go with the flow. Of course, the emperor was obviously very interested in this Duan Concubine Niangniang, and in order to show his attitude and position, Zhao Yanrong didn't mind throwing a few more knives.

Concubine Duan replied calmly: "The concubine already lives in Yongfu Palace, but she serves in front of the Queen Mother every morning and evening. Yesterday, she suffered a little cold, and the queen mother asked her concubine to go back to the palace to rest. Now that it's better, I think that there is no one in front of the Queen Mother who has to use considerate people, so I plan to go over again. I didn't expect to see the emperor and the queen here. ”

"Well, the concubine is really filial." Li Rui didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Concubine Duan looked at him, a red cloud flew over her face, and there was a strong attachment and affection in her eyes, this one was not only beautiful, but also very bold.

To be honest, if it weren't for the murderous aura that Li Rui revealed before, Zhao Yanrong would really think that Concubine Duan was Li Rui's true love when she looked at the previous interaction between the two now.

vaguely remembers that Concubine Duan was the mansion that Li Rui entered before he was crowned prince, and she was one of the two side concubines of King Kang. In terms of qualifications, she has not been in the house for as long as Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui, but she has a hard background.

Her father is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and she is the second daughter of the Zhang family. The crown princess has been dead for two years, and Li Rui is stubbornly resisting the pressure of the queen mother, and refuses to support the Zhang family as the concubine. Until he ascended the throne, the vacancy of the position of the middle palace was finally put on the table by the ministers.

No matter how much the Queen Mother messed with him, Li Rui still insisted that he chose the queen.

Since the queen entered the palace, Concubine Duan has been resident in Changle Palace, and she rarely shows her face in front of people.

She followed Li Rui and Zhao Yanrong together, three steps behind them, not daring to get too close, and not too far. Zhao Yanrong glanced back at her. With such a careful dress and such a deliberate encounter, Concubine Duan finally stopped shrinking in Changle Palace and Yongfu Palace in a low-key manner, this is the plan, to reappear in the rivers and lakes?

The man next to him is destined to be chased and fought for by countless women in this harem, and Zhao Yanrong herself feels that it doesn't matter. The emperor has read countless beauties, and if there is really one or two true loves by his side, it will also have certain benefits for his mental health. Of course, the premise is that this man will not be dazzled by true love and aim his gun at himself.

What does Concubine Duan think? Zhao Yanrong felt that Li Rui had actually made his position and attitude.

It is impossible for him to establish the daughter of the Zhang family as the queen, and Concubine Duan will probably only stop at the concubine position in this life.

Daqi harem, the queen is respected, there is a royal concubine under it, four concubines of Duan, De, Xian, and Rou, and then there are two concubines, concubines, concubines, beauties, etc., these numbers are customized.

Concubine Rong, who was slapped in the face by Zhao Yanrong before, is the first of the second concubines.

Now she is the queen of the main palace, the imperial concubine is Zhuang Guifei, in the first concubine, there are only two concubines, Duan Concubine and Concubine Rou, and now there are only Concubine Rong, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui in the second concubine, and the rest are some noble concubines, concubines and beauties. Compared with the emperors of the previous dynasty, Li Rui is quite restrained and quite clean.

If Concubine Duan wants to be promoted to another level, she will either drag Concubine Zhuang off the horse or kick the queen down, and otherwise, it is impossible.

With Li Rui's vigilance against the Zhang family, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Concubine Duan to become the queen mother in the future. If she hadn't been married to Li Rui for four years, how could she have not even received an egg until now.

Zhao Yanrong walked all the way, thought all the way, and finally simply didn't want to.

It doesn't matter what she wants to do, she is the queen now, and if Concubine Duan's backer is hard enough, then there will be nothing for her at this time.

No matter how noble the Queen Mother is, she has no ability to make Concubine Duan the queen, what else does she have to worry about?

After thinking about it, Zhao Yanrong's steps also seemed relaxed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Suddenly hearing the low voice of the man next to her, Zhao Yanrong was startled, stretched out her hand and patted her chest, and unconsciously revealed her true nature: "What is it called, it is called a soul!" ”

As soon as I exited, there was silence all around me.

Li Rui's mouth was slightly open, almost petrified, while Concubine Duan, who was standing not far behind her, had a pale face and a hellish expression.

Zhao Yanrong shouted in her heart, and was still thinking about how to remedy it, when suddenly Li Rui stretched out his hand, fished it on her chin, and said with a smile: "Yes, what about your soul, why do you want to be so engrossed?" If I don't call your soul back, I'll go straight to the water! ”

The queen's cheeks were red, her eyes were watery, and she glanced at him with disgust and shame, then tilted her head and snorted softly.

As if the anger and disrespect for the emperor just now were completely non-existent...... God knows how nervous Zhao Yanrong is at the moment.

Fortunately, Li Rui didn't seem to intend to pursue it, so he easily got past it.

Concubine Duan was behind her, frowning slightly.

After walking for most of the day, I finally walked outside the Changle Palace.

Concubine Duan was standing behind her, and Concubine Rou confessed that she was unwell and couldn't come over. Concubine Zhuang has been summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother to speak, and there are only two concubines and concubines Hui who have come to invite her before. After seeing the ceremony, Li Rui took his wife and concubine and stepped into the gate of Changle Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang was half-leaning on the wide couch, and Concubine Zhuang was kneeling in front of her and bowing her head silently.

As soon as Zhao Yanrong stepped into the main hall with his front feet, he heard a hearty shouting and scolding from the hall: "Fork out this unfilial and unrighteous slave and maid, and beat twenty boards outside the second gate!" ”

Yo, she's going to hit someone when she just came!

Who are you going to hit?

Zhuang Guifei?

No, it's going to be erected at the second gate for the slaves and maids in the palace to watch, and beat twenty boards!

Where is this beating Zhuang Guifei, this is to beat her Zhao Yanrong in person!
