Chapter 67: Concubine Ling
"The slave maid went to see the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang was teaching the third elder brother, the slave didn't dare to stay longer, put down the things and left." Hui Xin came in with a food basket, and the contents had been given to Concubine Xiu.
Didn't say a word of thank you either. Hui Xin didn't say this, she just kept her concubine busy, so as not to make the master unhappy.
It was a lily cake made by Hua Ying when she had nothing to do, and she tasted it good, so she asked Hui Xin to give it to the sisters to taste.
"My sister's craftsmanship is really good." Shun Guiren sat on the edge of the couch, chewing lily crisp in his mouth: "Crunchy, soft and sweet but not greasy, it is really the best quality." ”
Rou Changzai also came today, sat down for a while, and said that he was here to Xie Huaying's things, and Hua Ying asked people to serve two more flower teas.
"You are used to boasting about people, drink something, and it is easy to choke on that thing if you eat too much, but you don't dare to eat more." Hua Ying smiled, sensing that there was something strange in Hui Xin, and she didn't speak, and her heart was clear.
"How has Rou Chang been doing lately?"
"Back to my sister's words" Rou Chang said softly: "Although the emperor doesn't come often, those minions are not lazy, so the concubines are okay." Among them, there is also the help of Shun nobles, and those subordinates are also sensible and know who should offend and who should not offend.
"That'll be fine." Hua Ying actually doesn't regard this Rou Chang Zai as her own side in her heart, she just thinks that she is really good to Shun Guiren, and she always makes something for Shun Guiren with her own hands, and sometimes she is inevitably indispensable to herself, and she can't just treat her as an outsider.
"Please ask the emperor to turn over the card." The eunuch knelt on the ground, holding the signs of each concubine in his hand, recently the emperor went to Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling inevitably always put pressure on herself and reminded the emperor, which can embarrass him as a slave.
Li Xiangcai didn't dare to gasp when he saw him, and coughed: "Your Majesty, didn't Concubine Ling say that she had a pair of good jade at home last time, carved into a dragon-patterned jade pendant, but do you want to go and see it?"
The emperor stretched out his hand to the concubine brand: "If you don't say it, I will forget it, and there is this matter." ”
Li Xiangcai saw that what he was going to turn over was Hua Ying's brand, and he shouted in his heart that he was offended, not that he was targeting Hua Ying, but that Concubine Ling was still a little tricky, and he couldn't offend for the time being, in fact, Li Xiangcai was also biased towards Concubine Yun's smart and generous temperament.
"Then this brand ......"
"Let's go to Changchun Palace, maybe I haven't been to Concubine Ling for a long time." The emperor flipped over Concubine Ling's green head card with his big hand, and the eunuch holding the sign breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you Gonggong Li for your help." The eunuch of the Jingshifang went out of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and thanked Li Xiangcai.
Gonggong Li arrogantly shook off a handful of dust: "Don't blame our family for saying you, you will be more clever in the future, and less troublesome to those masters who are not easy to mess with, so as not to be embarrassed afterwards and provoke a fishy body." ”
"Oh, where is Gonggong Li, you also know the temper of that master." The eunuch had a bitter face, not how he was, but Concubine Ling acted domineeringly, and even did some threatening things, although he also got a lot of benefits from it, but he was also very sad.
Li Xiangcai snorted coldly: "Then you will ask for more blessings, I will go to serve the emperor first." Then he turned around, followed by a little eunuch whom he had already taken as an apprentice.
"Hey, you go slowly."
Concubine Ling was sitting in front of the dressing mirror at the moment, and the witty words tried to make hairpins back and forth for her, hesitating between the two: "Sui'er, come and see, which one is good-looking?"
Sui'er took a look and said: "With the demeanor of Niangniang, all of them are good, and they are all worthy of Niangniang." ”
"Sui'er is always rhetorical, I think you should call it the name Punchline." The witty words hesitated left and right for a while, but he still took the royal blue peacock jade ring hairpin and inserted it into the bun here, and then he felt that it was almost there.
"Or a few of you will say," Concubine Ling looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Yao'er, where have you gone, there is no trace." ”
Yao Er is the least talkative among her personal palace maids, and she is also thoughtful, many things are her and Witty Words' ideas, although Concubine Ji is her own person, Concubine Ling always dislikes her for not having a bright head, most of them are just princesses who use Concubine Ji.
"Didn't you tell Yao Er to comfort that person, why did you forget?" Punch Line looked left and right before saying.
"This palace thinks that the emperor is coming up, but he is confused." Concubine Ling rarely has such a side, like a spoiled child, but she still has the momentum of being in a high position: "Go and take out the dragon pattern jade pendant, and give it to the emperor later." ”
"Yes." After a while, Punch Line came out with a brocade box.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The concubines see the emperor." Concubine Ling saluted slowly, today she is still dressed up and extraordinary, maybe she hasn't seen her for a long time, and the emperor looked at her twice.
"The concubine is still so bright and moving." In his heart, he felt that Concubine Ling, who was originally very good-looking, was a little cheesy to be so rich, but this did not affect his mood as a beautiful woman.
Concubine Ling had autumn waves in her eyes, and said a little shyly: "The emperor has been in the future for a long time, and the concubines all miss the emperor." "It's been a long time, but in fact, it's only half a month, which is already good compared to other concubines who haven't seen the emperor for more than half a year or even a year.
"I have had a lot of court affairs recently, and I have snubbed my concubine, which is wrong with me." The emperor held her delicate soft wattle and patted it gently.
"What's wrong with the emperor, look at the jade pendant given to the emperor by the concubine, does the emperor like it or not?" Concubine Ling opened the box, revealing a delicate jade pendant.
The double dragon carving on it was lifelike, and the emperor couldn't help but pick it up and look at it: "It is indeed a good jade." ”
"This is the concubine's father who took great pains to find it, and he must be played with by the emperor, which has its value." Concubine Ling is arrogant in front of others, and she is indeed like a little woman in front of the emperor, which is also one of the places that really attracts the emperor.
"Thank you Aifei, I want to thank Aifei." The emperor put away the jade pendant, took Concubine Ling and walked to the inner room, Concubine Ling's cheeks were like fire.
The palace people had already retreated, closed the door and waited outside.
On the second day, Concubine Ling was unexpectedly late, the queen had long been accustomed to it, and the concubines should have waited in the inner courtyard of Kunning Palace before she finished grooming, until she came out and sat on the phoenix seat, and then I heard that the palace people had passed on the arrival of Concubine Lingniang.
Today's Concubine Ling is even more beautiful, and her face is full of spring, which can't help but remind people that she was sleeping last night.
"Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, I'm really sorry, the concubine is late, I was really tired of the concubine last night, it's late, the queen won't blame."
"You have meritorious service to the emperor, and this palace will naturally not say anything."
Here, Hua Ying couldn't help but admire the queen, she was so determined, and her expression remained unchanged in the face of provocation.
Concubine Jiang chuckled: "People who know say that Concubine Ling has meritorious service to the emperor, but if you don't know, you still think that Concubine Ling's love is just beginning, with a spring face, and I think I am a big girl like a flower." ”
Concubine Ling's smile was a little stiff on her face, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Jiang, who was calmly sipping tea: "Sister Concubine Jiang, it doesn't matter if I'm a big girl or not, I just know that Sister Jiang is not." ”
Concubine Jiang is the oldest and well-known, even two months older than the queen, hearing this, Hua Ying and the others couldn't help but secretly shake their heads, these people are here again, every time they do this, they will inevitably quarrel, and they don't dare to say a word, for fear that the immortals will fight and mortals will suffer.
"How can a mother say that." A delicate sentence came out, Hua Ying looked at it for a while before remembering that this was the promise of the child who painted the cat and the tiger, although he was favored by the emperor a little, his position has never changed.
Tong promised to see that everyone looked at her, and continued unhurriedly: "Sister Concubine Jiang is older, and she has a free and mature flavor on her body, where can we compare with yellow-haired girls?"
"Besides, Sister Concubine Ling is an old man in the palace, and she should also be a role model for the sisters in the palace, but my sister is more shy and lovely than our sisters, and I don't blame Sister Jiang for persuading, Sister Jiang is all for your good!"
As soon as the words were finished, the scene was silent, but Concubine Ji next to Concubine Ling heard the sound of heavy breathing, this was the first time that when Concubine Ling was sitting in the concubine seat, someone other than Concubine Jiang dared to talk to her like this.
