Volume 1 Noble People Chapter 5 Greetings
"The little lord is auspicious, the show in the west hall is coming."
Xiu Changzai is an old man in the palace, but Hua Ying has a high position, so she should come to see her.
Hua Ying straightened out the flag clothes on her body, after all, it was the first time she had interacted with other concubines in the palace, so she should be careful: "Let Xiuchang come in." ”
"Yinggui is auspicious." Xiuchang Zaifu lowered her body and stood up again, the difference between the two was only one level, she only had to curtsy.
Hua Ying looked at Xiu Chang in front of her without a trace, it seemed that this Xiu Chang was not doing well, because she could see at a glance that the clothes on Xiu Chang were still the popular fabrics in previous years, and there were only a few simple beads on her head.
"Xiuchang is sitting down, I just entered the palace, please forgive me for any neglect." Hua Ying smiled and asked her to sit on the side and served tea.
This Xiu Chang's face can only be said to be delicate at most, but in fact, it is just average, I don't know how he became the little master.
"What's the point of being lazy, the noble Ying has just entered the palace, and there are still a lot of things to pack, I'm afraid it will disturb the nobleman." Xiu Chang said honestly and fearfully, quite cautiously afraid of saying the wrong thing.
After a few more pleasantries, Xiu Chang said that he would not bother Hua Ying anymore and got up to leave.
Hua Ying looked at her back: "This Xiu is often so timid and afraid?"
Qingxu asked his subordinates to pack up his things, knowing that Hua Ying was puzzled: "Xiu Chang was from a humble background, he was just a low-level miscellaneous palace maid before, once the emperor was drunk, and somehow ran to the emperor's dragon bed, but that time he was pregnant with a dragon fetus, so he became an exception." ”
"Why haven't you heard that Xiu Changzai still has children?"
"I was born and raised by Xiang Concubine Niangniang, I heard that Xiang Concubine Niangniang never let Xiu Chang see Ergege, Xiu Chang was about to be scolded by Xiang Concubine Niangniang when he mentioned it, and it should be more cautious."
Hua Ying nodded, speaking of which, this Xiu Chang is also a bitter person in the palace.
Lunch is according to the nobleman's portion, two meat, two vegetables and one soup, she herself can't finish eating so many dishes alone, and she begins to miss the dishes made at home, although there is no delicacy in the palace, but she knows what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat.
Qingxu looked at the expression of his little master and guessed that he should have remembered the taste of home: "When the little master is favored in the future, you can ask the emperor's will to make a small kitchen next to it and cook the dishes that the little master likes." "Many of the concubines have their own small kitchens, and they can eat at ease, and when the emperor comes up, they can cook in person to win favor.
Hua Ying didn't speak, sure enough, in this palace, the emperor's favor is the first priority.
On the second day of entering the palace, they, the new masters of the palace, were going to greet the queen.
got up early to dress up, Hua Ying instructed Huixin to make up and jewelry as usual, and there was no need to deliberately make herself lighter, thinking that it would avoid people's attention, but it seemed scheming.
The queen sat on the top and looked at the concubines below, she was the eldest daughter of the Yehenara family, although her father's official position was not high now, but her grandfather was the mentor and friend of the first emperor and a good teacher, and he had a lot of say in the court.
"Say hello to the queen, the queen is blessed with gold." The big ceremony that had just entered the palace was made, and the concubines above the nobles were saluted before taking a seat, and the concubines sat down a little earlier with most of their eyes.
Hua Ying also saw this concubine on the day of the draft, maybe she was not dressed very conspicuously, but she was still like that when she saw it today, she just looked like a lady, sitting there dignified and dignified.
"Let Hongu take a look at the new sisters."
This is really the first person to arrive, most of them stood up to greet this Ling Concubine Niangniang, Fucha is like a song, this year there are six in twenty, from the daughter of the first product of the capital, now one of the most favored concubines in the palace, a white goose egg face facial features are marked, slightly heroic eyebrows show that she has momentum, the flag head on the Tianzi looks extremely luxurious, with the clothes made of Yunjin that has just been tributed, worthy of being a favorite concubine.
"See Concubine Ling."
"Hurry up, we'll be a family from now on." This can rob the queen of what she should say, Hua Ying quietly looked at the queen on the upper seat, and saw that she was still looking at Concubine Ling with a smile.
"Sister Yue Concubine is really a fairy-like person, I feel that I look ten years old in front of you." The concubine who said this is Xiang Concubine, who is of the Han nationality, named Qu Jing'er, was brought back by the emperor from a trip two years ago, the emperor is very favored, and his father has won a three-grade idle official with this, and many people in the palace are not convinced that her family can become a concubine in just two years.
Xiang Concubine's appearance is even better, she is smiling and smiling, and she has a delicate temperament when she speaks, and the appearance of the concubine can only be regarded as superior, besides, she entered the palace two years ago, and now she is only eighteen, how can she look old, this is full of irony.
Concubine Yue's face did not change: "Thank you sister for your compliment, the concubine Pu Liu's posture, how can she be beautiful and moving." ”
When Concubine Xiang saw that she didn't eat this, she stopped talking and turned her attention to others.
"Who is this sister, those eyes are about to hook away my sister's soul."
Everyone followed her gaze, and sure enough, Guo Erjia was a nobleman. Xuan Guiren's eyes are some slender Danfeng eyes, and he has a cold temperament, which makes people shine.
"The concubine is a noble person of Guo Erjia's family, and she has seen a concubine in Xiang." Xuan Guiren didn't panic when he was suddenly ordered, and only paused for a moment before replying with a cold expression.
"Don't talk about men, women can't stand this look, Xuan Guiren is really blessed, I'm afraid the emperor will like your tightness." This means that the noble Xuan will seduce the emperor.
"Concubine Xie Xiang compliments."
Xuan Guiren's face was a little unhappy, but he still bowed and thanked him in a proper manner.
"Okay, okay, when the palace went to see the draft, there was a noble person who won a lot of praise from the emperor and the queen mother." The queen mother smiled gently to solve the siege, and what she said instantly made Hua Ying have a bad premonition.
"Noble Ying, you get up and let everyone know."
Hua Ying had to stand up and salute: "The concubine is not talented, it is lucky to be praised by the emperor and the queen mother, there is nothing worthy of the admiration of the sisters." ”
"That's modest, I didn't look good before, but if you take a closer look, Yinggui's beauty is not lost to any of the new sisters." The Qian nobleman giggled, this Qiangui has been in the palace for a long time, five or six years, and he is not much pampered, but it is okay.
"Everyone has their own style, they all serve the emperor, how can there be any win or loss." Hua Ying pretended to be embarrassed, and added: "Right? The Queen? He kicked the ball back to the queen.
"My sister is right, and she is really smart."
"Queen, who is this boasting about?" With a loud "The emperor has arrived", everyone got up and saluted, the queen gave up the seat to the emperor, sat on the side seat, and presented the emperor with a cup of fruit tea: "The emperor has just come down to the early court, presumably he has not eaten yet, and it is not appropriate to drink too strong tea to avoid hurting the stomach." ”
"Thank you, Queen."
Hua Ying looked at it and secretly sighed that the women in this palace are so smart, if she knows what the emperor likes to eat in the future, she must always be ready for what to eat, and she can't stop the emperor from coming to walk around one day.
"The queen just praised the nobleman, saying that she is smart, no wonder the emperor likes it." Concubine Ji is Da Gege's biological mother, although she doesn't have much favor, but she is also a little bit of a voice in front of the emperor.
This is the second time Hua Ying has seen this son of heaven, the first time on the day of the draft, she has never seen his face, at this time looking up, there is also a feeling of being caught eyeballs, the appearance is not a top one peerless but there is no lack of handsomeness, surrounded by masculinity, wearing a court dress that has not had time to change to show the majesty of the emperor, the next moment the eyes of the two collided together.
Hua Ying hurriedly turned her head and stood up: "It's all the praise of the sisters, how can the concubine be able to afford it." ”
"Ying nobles are also modest, and they are not false."
The emperor's words undoubtedly made the focus of the audience focus on her again, so she could only salute again and sit back in place, her heart was pounding, she had participated in the party in the boudoir since she was a child, although she was not afraid of everyone's eyes, she had never seen this kind of scene, but she still pretended to be calm and not make a mistake.
Fortunately, the topic shifted to the other new concubines who entered the palace, each of whom routinely praised their beauty and temperament, which also reduced the pressure on Hua Ying.
In addition to the few concubines who spoke just now, Hua Ying also met the Jing nobles who were in the palace before, who were like titles, looked calm and demure, always there, had a low sense of existence, and were very obedient and obedient. All three entered the palace three years ago.
The newcomer to the palace is not impressed by Yu Changzai, who also seems to be a good talker, as well as the delicate and lovely Qin promise and the weak willow Song promise.
