Volume 1 The Noble Chapter 6 Irony
"Little master, this emperor is turning over the brand of Xuan Guiren." Xiao Yongzi bowed down and walked in to tell Hua Ying the news she had just inquired about. Xiao Yongzi is clever and likable, and his popularity is the best, so Hua Ying asked him to go and see who was sleeping today. It's just curiosity, and it can't be her anyway.
Qingxu put a well-brewed and moderately warm pearl orchid tea on the small table in front of Hua Ying: "It's not the moon concubine." "It stands to reason that it should be the first servant with a high rank, and it has always been said that the concubine and the emperor had a relationship before, everyone thought that this first concubine must be the concubine.
Hua Ying has always loved to drink flower tea and green tea, the aroma of flower tea is elegant and fragrant, the taste is sweet and mellow, although there is some little girlishness, the taste is really good.
"No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts, but tomorrow someone will definitely want to sarcastically mock the concubine." Hua Ying didn't know if this concubine really had a light personality or a mask made to avoid trouble. Anyway, it doesn't matter to her, except for asking An to stay in the palace, the flip is sooner or later, and there is no difference between morning and evening, at most he will be pointed at by the long-tongued woman and he won't be able to drop the meat.
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Ying got up early according to the time of asking for peace, and with the lesson of asking for peace last time, she had already told Lan Yi to prepare some food, a small bowl of lotus leaf soup and rinsed her mouth and went to Kunning Palace with Qingxu and Huixin to ask for peace, and met her old acquaintance Ming Chang on the way, she now lives in the side hall of Yongshou Palace, because things are busy after entering the palace, and they are not close, and the two have met again until today.
"I heard that you and Qin agreed to live together, she is a good person?"
Ming Chang was holding her along: "It's still easy to get along with, and she looks like a cute little girl." ”
"You have to be more attentive and don't trust people easily." Hua Ying told her that she knew Xia Ming and was a smart and clever person, but the quagmire in the palace was deep, and if she didn't pay attention, she would be pulled in.
As soon as he took his seat, a little eunuch in the queen's palace walked in quickly and knelt down, and said: "The emperor exempted the noble Xuan from the greeting ceremony, and the noble Xuan also said that he would not come to greet the queen today." ”
The queen didn't get angry when she saw it, and asked her subordinates to retreat, and her tone was flat: "Noble Xuan Xu slept last day, and his body was tired, so it is natural to rest for a day." ”
"The queen mother is tolerant a lot, but if this harem is like a nobleman, wouldn't there be one less person every day." Qian Guiren sneered.
"What the noble Qian said, the noble people are favored, and the emperor's will allows it, but the palace is not small to see that you are sour." Concubine Xiang is still glamorous today, wearing a peach-colored flag suit, and after speaking, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled twice, Qian Guiren's face was not good, but she couldn't say anything.
"Having said that, those who rely on the emperor's favor and pampering should be punished, especially some people who can't get on the stage still try to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, which is really ridiculous." Concubine Ling's eyes were a little fierce, and everyone in the palace knew that she and the concubines she had befriended had never been accustomed to those who had not been very good but won favor.
Many people secretly glanced at Concubine Jiang, everyone knows Concubine Jiang's origin, when she was in the palace, she followed the emperor who was still the seventh prince at the time, but she was just a Han military banner, and she could be regarded as a concubine, but Concubine Jiang had many means, and she didn't know how to please the emperor, and she became a concubine after entering the palace and giving birth to the eldest brother.
"Anyway, the emperor is the master of this world, as long as the emperor likes it, the emperor is happy, how can it be good, the queen mother, you say this is the reason, right?" Concubine Jiang is even a year older than the queen, her face is well maintained, and she is full of charm, so she didn't even look at Concubine Ling at this time.
"What the younger sisters said is reasonable, so there is no need to argue about anything, but this palace didn't expect that it was Xuan Guiren who was sleeping." The queen seemed to be careless, and pulled the concubine into the pot again, and the two groups of people from Concubine Ling and Concubine Jiang pulled their attention away a little, so they returned to the point.
Qianguiren pretended to sigh: "Yes, the concubine didn't expect it, I have long heard that Sister Yue Concubine and the emperor have a very good relationship, I thought that the first one to sleep must be Sister Yue Concubine, I don't want to ......" said as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his voice gradually weakened.
"The concubine had a good understanding with the emperor before, but she didn't get to the point where the noble Qian said, so it's better not to listen to others chewing their tongues." Concubine Yue's expression was faint and she said calmly.
"So my sister lost her words." Seeing the lifeless look on her face, Qian Guiren only sneered in her heart and thought that she was pretending, and turned around to talk to the Qian Guiren next to her.
"By the way, the palace almost forgot, before the draft, the palace specially instructed the Internal Affairs Office to bring in a few more good clothes to give to the younger sisters, which can be regarded as a celebration of how lively the palace is." The queen suddenly thought of something, and that virtuous smile always hung on her face: "If my sisters have any favorite colors and patterns, just say it." ”
"The concubines don't need it, the concubine's clothes have not been missing, the cloud brocade rewarded by the emperor has just been used up, and there are still a few Song brocades left, and they will all be taken to the new sisters, I hope you don't dislike it." Concubine Ling first refused the reward, and then learned that the queen wanted to reward them with satin, and the queen seemed to be used to it: "I didn't plan to give it to you again, otherwise so much silk should not be spoiled." ”
"The queen doesn't just favor the new sisters, the concubine still wants a few more horses." The Qian nobles interjected playfully, and together with several other nobles, they often made the scene a little lively, and everyone also talked to each other about the rotten grain in the palace.
The seat of this Kunning Palace also has a doorway, the upper middle is naturally the queen, the lower left is Concubine Ling, the lower right is Concubine Jiang, the left is respectful and the right is inferior, Concubine Ling has a title, naturally it is higher than Concubine Jiang, but Concubine Jiang has a big brother to support her, and this chair was quietly moved forward by two points to show that the status of the two is comparable.
Hua Ying sat in a column on the right, opposite was a titled nobleman, on the left, that is, in front of him was a Jing nobleman, and on the right was Yu Changzai.
Jing Guiren looked like a good talker, so Hua Ying said while watching those women compete and be jealous: "Jing Guiren is really a person who lives up to his name, and has been drinking tea here. ”
Jing Guiren put down the teacup, and saw that this Ying Guiren didn't talk much, and he was a little similar to himself, so he said kindly: "I'm stupid, I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I will be eaten alive by them." ”
"Poof" Hua Ying thought that Jing Guiren was extremely elegant, and the words she said were down-to-earth: "It turns out that this is the reason." ”
"In the palace, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds," Jing Guiren took another sip of tea: "I heard that there are many men in Yinggui's family, and they all say that you are blessed." ”
"What's the blessing, I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, my third brother is still unmarried, he is eighteen manly, which makes the family very anxious."
There was a hint of surprise in Jing Guiren's eyes: "So?"
"I said I wanted to find someone with an eye by myself." Hua Ying said helplessly.
Jing Guiren didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded, as if he was in thought, Hua Ying didn't say anything more, mainly because Yu Chang was tugging his sleeve on the side.
"My sister is so bored, what are the two sisters talking about?" Yu Chang is also a concubine at home, although the official position in the family is not high, but the back house is clean, and Yu Changzai is also not scheming, straightforward temperament, this character is trapped in the palace, and he really feels bored at this time.
Hua Ying also knew her situation to some extent, and comforted: "It is estimated that the queen mother will let people disperse after a while, don't worry." ”
"One by one, they are sour." Yu Chang whispered.
Hua Ying hurriedly told her to stop: "Don't say this in front of others, let the ladies know that you feel good." ”
Saying that, the queen did put on a tired posture and asked these warblers and Yanyan to go back to their respective palaces.
