Chapter 125: Selection

Concubine Jiang's later expression, how many people felt like laughing as long as they thought about it, and it also became the handle of her being ridiculed later.

"Look at Concubine Jiang's appearance every day, I said at the beginning that my eldest brother would definitely be canonized as a prince, look at last night, I lost face, I won't be embarrassed to come today." When Xiang Chang had just regained her favor, Concubine Jiang had given her a lot of faces, and this time she was angry.

"How can you say that Concubine Jiang is also half the old master of Xiangchang, so gloating." Although Concubine Ling felt relieved, she looked down on Xiang Chang even more.

"It's just that she was coerced in the early years, and Concubine Ling doesn't recognize her concubine body when she talks like this." Xiang Chang is talking more restrained than at that time, and sometimes he accepts it when he sees it, and he is less choking.

"Since the ancestors, it is generally the emperor's son-in-law or the prince's favorite prince who can be canonized as a prince, and the eldest brother is not surprised to be named the king of Lujun." Xiu Concubine said.

"Concubine Xiu is right, but the second princess's performance yesterday was really good, and you taught her well, and she will definitely get a good title in the future." The queen said gently, in fact, she has begun to be dissatisfied, the third elder brother was raised by her, and has been inherited to her name, which is officially her "own son", and will be the rightful son-in-law in the future, but in the past two years, the concubine has gradually straightened her waist, and she didn't put the second princess in her eyes, but in the end, she is also the heir who is valued by the emperor, in case the concubine has another son in the future, it has to be guarded against.

The second princess is only ten years old, and the queen also plans to take one step at a time, and now it seems that the eldest brother she is most afraid of is no longer a big threat.

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Jiang was late, and the dark circles under her eyes that couldn't be blocked told everyone that she definitely didn't sleep well last night, and even her voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm exaggerating that Brother has a good future, and you're here." The queen opened her eyes and said nonsense, and her face was not red and her heart was not beating.

"Why is Concubine Jiang late today? The eldest brother has to come and say hello to the queen. Du promised to deliberately anger her.

Concubine Jiang naturally thought that a few of them couldn't say good things, and she was ready to be ridiculed before she came, and she didn't want to pay attention to them, but now her most important thing is to appease the eldest brother and let him do things well in front of the emperor, don't think that the county king is not good, and it is also hopeful to please the emperor and wait for the future to be sealed, plus the concubine of the middle palace is not a thing, Concubine Jiang's ambition is absolutely not small.

"Don't hide it from the queen, the concubine was unwell last night and didn't sleep well, so please be late, and ask the queen to atone for her sins."

Seeing Concubine Jiang's temperament today, the queen knew her mind somewhat, and sneered in her heart, just relying on her untalented eldest brother, don't be delusional: "This palace knows that you are worried about the affairs of the eldest brother, since the eldest brother is married and the mansion is there, let's rest for two days." ”

"The queen is generous, and the concubines are amazed, but this day is getting colder, and the concubines are getting more and more unable to get up, why don't you let the queen let the concubines have a good rest?"

Concubine Ling began to provoke tirelessly again, even Hua Ying felt bored of watching it, but the queen was still unmoved: "Since this is the case, then Concubine Ling will be exempted from asking for peace for these two days." ”

"No need, thank you for the kindness of the queen, whether the concubine has a son to worry about, naturally she goes to bed early and wakes up early."

So what did you say before? The smile on the queen's face was a little stiff: "Go with my sister." ”

Hua Ying just returned to the palace to rest for a while, teasing the fifth elder brother, Xiao Pingzi next to the emperor came, and brought a sedan chair: "Please say hello to Yun Concubine Niangniang, Yun Master, the emperor sent a servant to invite Yun Master to pick the satin of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, now are you free?" ”

Hua Ying then remembered that there was such a thing, this was the emperor's blatant preference, although it was said that she would be asked to choose satin quietly, but this posture was not small at all, and Li Quan's apprentice was also accompanied: "Naturally, there is Lao Ping's father-in-law who will go on this trip." ”

"Hey, the slave can't afford to be the praise of the master, don't bother the minion." Xiao Pingzi is just an apprentice, but he is also a person in front of the emperor, Hua Ying called him a "father-in-law", Xiao Pingzi responded enthusiastically, thinking that he was pressed by his master, and few masters called him so.

The internal affairs office is not far from Jingyang Palace, and the sedan chair has not been gone for a while, so Huixin helped Hua Ying get off the sedan chair and walked into the internal affairs office, because it has just been transported to the palace, and these clothes have not yet been sent to the Shangyi Bureau to make clothes.

"Master Yun, these horses are here, they are all good brocade satin, and each one is said to be embroidered for more than half a year, so there are a total of ten horses, please choose from the mother." Xiao Pingzi went up, and as soon as he came in, he motioned to the other subordinates not to say much, and introduced himself to Hua Ying.

Hua Ying's plain hand gently stroked the fabrics, indeed, as the emperor said, it is suitable for making winter clothes, and the colors are not common, they are all beautiful and strange, which makes people a little dazzled.

"Master, look at this one," Hui Xin also helped to choose on the side, knowing that when she saw the last piece of fabric, she felt that it was very compatible with Hua Ying: "This light purple is very good-looking, the mother loves to wear purple the most, and the embroidered on it is the master's favorite white orchid." ”

Hua Ying's eyes were attracted, and she looked at it and said: "This is not light purple, this is called lotus lotus color, it is a faint purple with pink in it, so it is called lotus lotus color, which is really a good material." ”

"If you stop this palace again, this palace will send you all to the Shen Criminal Division!"

Hua Ying was about to choose this and another brightly colored Akane satin, when an arrogant and domineering voice came from the door of the Internal Affairs Mansion, it turned out that according to Xiao Pingzi's instructions, those people wanted to stop Concubine Ling and prevent her from finding out that Hua Ying was here to choose clothes first, but these subordinates did not have that ability.

Concubine Ling, who was angry and felt that these subordinates had eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard, was stunned for a moment when she saw Hua Ying, and frowned: "Why are you here." ”

"I've seen Concubine Ling, the concubine came here to see the material, and I met Niangniang so coincidentally."

Speaking of the material, Concubine Ling looked at Hui Xin's hand behind her, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Where did you get the courage to choose first?" The palace said that the new material of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau should have arrived, why is there no shadow yet. ”

Hua Ying didn't rush to explain, but just smiled: "It seems that Concubine Ling has always been familiar with the clothing items for tribute, and the concubine guesses that it is because Concubine Ling's home is inextricably linked with the post station through which the tribute passes." "Therefore, it is so convenient to know which ones are transported to the palace, so that we can do things on it.

"The family of this palace is related to the post station, but you can't talk about the close connection you said!" Concubine Ling's words seem to be a little strong and dry, if she was not weak in the past, she would have sneered and said so what, where to go, why is she so weak-hearted, then she must have done something unseemly.

"Okay, that's the concubine's gaffe, can the concubine leave now?" Hua Ying raised an eyebrow at her.

"You choose the tribute cloth without authorization and take it away, and the palace must report to the emperor and the queen!"

"Niangniang," the punch note reminded softly at this moment, "It seems that the one over there is the little eunuch in front of the emperor." ”

Concubine Ling's voice stopped abruptly, making Hua Ying want to laugh, the emperor's original intention should be to let Hua Ying choose first, not to tell the queen the truth, but also to give the queen face, because it stands to reason that the queen has the right to control the harem, these things are distributed by her, if the emperor goes to say, it seems that he loves Hua Ying too much, and it also affects the queen's authority to manage the harem, but Concubine Ling is so troublesome, if people know about it, the queen is estimated to blame her for a lot of things.

"Why didn't you say earlier that the emperor asked you to come." Concubine Ling was angry in her heart, thinking that Hua Ying deliberately didn't say it, just to make her embarrassed.

"Niangniang didn't seem to give me a chance to explain."

Concubine Ling was unwilling, so she didn't let their master and servant go easily: "This palace likes the two clothes picked by Yun Concubine's sister very much, but if you choose to go first, this palace will be gone, I don't know if you can keep it for this palace?" ”

Then what did the emperor ask Hua Ying to choose in advance, isn't it just to be able to choose what she likes? Concubine Ling just wanted to let herself fall into a sedan chair at the gate of the Qianqing Palace last time, and hit her arrogance: "I hope that Concubine Ling Niangniang will forgive the concubines for being difficult to obey, the emperor's meaning is to let the concubines choose the ones that are suitable for the concubines, and the concubines will not dare to disobey the emperor's orders." ”

"Then you just say you like something else?" Concubine Ling didn't pay attention to her argument that she would move the emperor out, but was even more annoyed.

Hua Ying seemed to have heard something funny, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, until Concubine Ling was about to hold back and point at her nose and shout again, she stopped and said: "The concubine's skin is very fair, and many colors of material can be worn by concubines, mainly Concubine Ling." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Ying looked at Concubine Ling's exposed skin: "Concubine Ling is heroic, perhaps because she was riding a horse and shooting arrows outside when she was young, her skin is very healthy, and the two pieces of fabric picked by the concubine, especially the lotus lotus color, are very picky and pick the skin, and the mother is afraid that it is not suitable, if the mother insists on choosing what the concubine likes, then you might as well take this madder one, which is better than the lotus lotus." ”

Concubine Ling was so angry that she almost trembled, this woman said that her skin was black and yellow in front of so many, it was really unreasonable, but what she said was the truth, she also saw that she was not suitable for such a light and tender color, in contrast, the silver-red color on her body could highlight a good complexion: "Concubine Yun likes it, this palace will not let Concubine Yun cut her love, after all, this palace does not lack a few horses, Concubine Yun will guard your good material!" ”

"Yes, the concubine must follow Concubine Ling's education, and make them into clothes so that they can be worn alive and won't damage the fabric.

Hua Ying was full of smiles, but she was extremely sarcastic.
