Chapter 06: The ladies of the East Palace, each with their own merits
I lay on his side and stayed awake all night.
On the day of the wedding, the candles were in the cave room, and he shouted someone else's name.
It was then that I realized that all the words I didn't understand today had been said to another person.
"You said that you wanted to visit the splendid mountains and rivers of the world with this palace, so this palace will sit with you and go to the East Palace, and for the rest of your life, I will go with you."
"You said before that on the wedding night, you should drink the wine."
These words are the story of him and another person.
I looked at the top of the bed in amazement, and my heart felt as if it was being weighed down by a boulder weighing a thousand pounds, and I was extremely depressed.
If he doesn't have a lover, I can still try to slowly influence him and slowly enter his heart, but he already has a heart, what should I do......
I let out a short sigh and tilted my head, looking at his sleeping face, my heart extremely complicated.
Maybe some people, from the moment they met, were wrong...
Early in the morning, before dawn, Fu Yuying had already gotten up and left, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. Before he left, he twisted the corners of the quilt for me.
After hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, I slowly sat up, wrapped in the quilt, leaned against the wall, and looked at the room quietly.
That scene from last night kept coming back to me, over and over again...
I looked at the purple persimmon on the table fixedly, dazed.
When the sky was getting brighter, Magnolia suddenly pushed the door in, moving slowly, but she didn't seem to expect me to wake up so early, and was slightly stunned at the moment she saw me, before she came over with her clothes again.
She half-squatted down and saluted me in a proper manner, but her tone still carried her usual disdain: "Concubine Fang is fine." ”
I didn't care about her, I just silently put down the futon in my hand, endured the pain all over my body, and got out of bed step by step, asking her to change my clothes and freshen up.
I sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at myself as usual.
I thought my face would be haggard and sad. But he didn't think that he had unconsciously learned his set of joy and anger.
It turns out that if you like someone for a long time, you will become more and more like him.
I smiled helplessly in my heart and silently looked at myself in the mirror.
After I packed up and dressed up, I asked Yanhua to accompany me to greet my sister-in-law.
Out of the courtyard, I happened to meet one of Fu Yuying's concubines, she saw me, but her usual face suddenly bloomed with a smile, she walked towards me, saluted respectfully, and said: "Concubine Mu Yun Su, I have seen Concubine Song." ”
I stretched out my hand to signal her to get up, and said lightly, "No need to be polite. ”
She got up slowly, still with a smile on her face, and said slowly: "The side concubine was very happy yesterday, and the concubine is still in time to congratulate the side concubine, but since she is so close to the side concubine this morning, the concubine will say belated joy." ”
"Thank you." I smiled faintly at her, not showing too much enthusiasm.
However, she didn't seem to care, and still talked to me very enthusiastically: "The side concubine is probably going to greet the crown princess, so I wonder if the concubine can have the honor to walk with the side concubine?" ”
I nodded and replied, "Feel free." ”
She smiled and bowed her head slightly, very polite to me.
On the way to the main hall, she still didn't say a word to me, and although I replied very coldly, it didn't hinder her from talking at all.
It's not that I did this on purpose, it's just that I'm really not in the mood to chat at this time, I don't think she's noisy, I actually have given her enough face.
"I heard that the side concubine is the sister of the crown princess, and the Song family was destroyed back then......"
Su Muyun was talking, the maidservant next to her suddenly pulled her sleeve, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained to me: "The side concubine forgives her sins, and the concubine is speechless..."
"It doesn't matter."
She glanced at me without moving, and when she saw that I looked as usual, she sighed to herself, but she did not dare to say anything more.
At this moment, she and I have come to the front of the main hall, Fu Yuying's bedroom is on the east side of the main hall, and Sister Yan is on the west side of the main hall.
Sister Chang woke up early, so Su Muyun and I didn't wait outside the hall and walked in directly.
Sister Yan sat on the main seat, playing with the mutton fat jade bracelet in her hand, her face was as usual, and it was not until she saw me that her face gradually sank.
Su Muyun and I leaned over and saluted her, "Say hello to the crown princess." ”
Sister Yan looked at me coldly, with undisguised disgust in her eyes, "Get up." ”
I slowly got up and sat down in the first hand position on the left, Su Muyun saw this, as if she wanted to say something to me, but she wanted to say something.
Sister Yan sneered and said to me: "It's really a vulgar person, I don't know how to be humble at all, Concubine Lin and Concubine Chu entered the palace many years before you, and they are more noble than you in terms of reason and reason, this position is also what you want to sit in?" ”
I chuckled, turned my eyes to look at my sister, and said slowly: "What my sister said makes some sense, but the prince said that in addition to not giving my sister the title of princess, the rest will be given to my sister the best, so it is understandable for my sister to sit here." ”
"Take less of the prince to press the palace." She said coldly, not hiding her dissatisfaction with me at all: "The inner family of the East Palace is naturally controlled by the palace, and the palace says that you are not worthy, you are not worthy, don't think that if you are a newcomer, the palace will not do anything with you." ”
I glanced at her faintly, and did nothing, as if I hadn't heard her at all.
Just as she was about to get angry at me, two other concubines suddenly arrived and interrupted her reprimand.
"Say hello to the crown princess."
Hearing the sound, I turned my head to look, relying on my nearest side concubine with a delicate face, wearing a plain white brocade dress, without too much complicated embroidery, only a few dark auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, although simple, but full of elegance and generosity, just like a lady of everyone.
When she had finished her salute, she seemed to be habitually walking towards the place where I was sitting, but when she saw that I was already seated, she did not show any displeasure, and turned and walked towards the chair opposite me.
This should be the Concubine Lin in Kang Lurong's mouth.
"Concubine Lin is really good-tempered." Although Sister Yan said what she said to Concubine Lin, she still stared at me with hostility.
Concubine Lin smiled slightly at Sister Song, and turned to look at me, her eyes were very clear: "Sister Song is favored, and she should have a higher status than the concubine." ”
"Huh." Suddenly, I heard a mocking laugh beside me, I turned my head to look, and found that it was Concubine Chu who had just come in with Concubine Lin, she seemed to disdain to look at me with her eyes, looked down at her embroidered handkerchief, and said very contemptuously: "Sister, you are really good-natured... It's just that my sister doesn't look down on her pampered and arrogant appearance in her heart, so she was so domineering on the first day she came, and in the future, I'm afraid she will also be a difficult master to get along with. ”
I chuckled, put one hand on the armrest of the chair, and the other hand on the front and one hand, leaned over her upper body facing her, and said slowly: "Sister's father is the left counselor?" ”
Dr. Zuo is subordinate to Menxia Province, and Tang Xuanhui is in the middle of the order, the highest official position in Menxia Province, so to put it simply, Concubine Chu's father is the person under my father-in-law.
When she heard my words, her face immediately showed a little anger, but she only glared at me hatefully, and was speechless.
"The concubine asks for peace to the crown princess and the three side concubines."
A low and soft voice suddenly came, and I heard it again and looked, in the center of the hall stood a woman in a long turquoise dress, with a lovely appearance and a very decent demeanor, but her temperament was a little lacking, giving people a feeling of cowardice and petiteness.
Sister Yan withdrew the look on her face that looked at your play, continued to lean on the throne, played with the hand, and asked the concubine lazily: "Why didn't the Kong family come with you?" ”
"Back to the crown princess, Sister Kong suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come today."
Sister Yan still didn't look at her, just waved her hand to signal her to sit down.
Her arrogant posture has never changed, and it is still the same, and she has never interacted with these women in the past, so it is not difficult for me to isolate her.
Probably seeing someone squeezing me, my sister-in-law's mood seemed to be much better, so she chatted with us casually and let us all leave.
Not long after I left the courtyard of the main hall, Concubine Chu suddenly blocked my way.
"Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave." Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, but she hid a knife in her smile, "Just now, my sister talked about my sister's father, which made my sister suddenly remember, my sister and the crown princess... It seems to be the relationship between biological sisters, tsk, this righteous act of killing relatives, not ordinary people really can't do it. ”
I didn't pay much attention to her when I was in the temple, but now I look at her words and deeds and the taste of her clothes at the moment, and I only feel that she is really far from the others.
All the women in the palace have their own merits, if it is only about beauty, no one can compare with the sister, but if it comes to temperament, Concubine Lin's beautiful appearance can be called Qingshui out of hibiscus, but her temperament seems to be a little alienated, giving people a feeling of rejection. And Su Muyun is a typical small jasper, clean, fresh and lively, but also very pleasing. The other concubine, although inconspicuous, is also very well-behaved and lovely.
But the one in front of him, although he is dressed luxuriously and the hair accessories on his head are also very gorgeous, but such a luxurious and luxurious combination always makes people feel tacky and tight.
During my contemplation, Yan Hua had already refuted Concubine Chu in a loud voice: "Didn't Concubine Chu forget that Song Guogong was also the prince's father-in-law, you said this, aren't you insinuating?" ”
After listening to Yanhua's words, she was not as irritable and angry as Fang Cai in the palace, but still mocked me patiently: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future king of Ye Kingdom, and Concubine Song is just a concubine who is not even a concubine, why should she be compared with the crown prince?" ”
I smiled lightly and didn't change my face: "Is this reason enough for me to do things for the prince that day?" ”
I don't bother to dwell on her, such a stupid person is really not worth my time wasting on her.
After saying that, I turned around and tried to get out of here, but she didn't give up, and when she saw me turn around, she quickly reached out and pulled my sleeve.
I flicked my sleeve out of her hand and prepared to leave.
"Ah——!h
Suddenly, I heard a scream from behind me, and the voice seemed to be frightened by something, so I turned around and found that she was clinging to the tree trunk at this time, looking at the grass with a frightened gaze.
With the doubts in my heart, I slowly walked to her side, followed her gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned.
There was a female corpse lying in the grass!
