68 The queen gathered everyone in the harem, and Concubine Zhao Chen was lazy and late
The queen specially gathered everyone in the harem together and prepared to discuss some matters with the people in the harem. Especially the fact that the concubines lived in harmony with each other in the harem and spread out for the emperor.
The queen was originally from Puni, and she has never been as complicated as the harem of the Blue Bird Country to set the province in the morning and dusk all day long, and the queen Qin Yurong never did these things. But since Lin Zhiyi's incident, the queen mother has complained about it, so the queen mother can't indulge in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, but must take the matter of the harem to heart.
Qin Yurong, the mother of the middle palace, ordered that from today on, the harem concubines need to wake up every morning and dusk, and if they can't come, they need to take a day off from the queen mother in advance, and they can't be lazy and casual about this matter.
And today, it is the first time that the concubines of the harem come to the Xuande Hall of the queen's mother, please greet the salute, and wake up in the morning and dusk.
Qin Yurong, the queen of the middle palace, has already dressed up and ordered her subordinates to prepare everything in the front hall of the Xuande Palace, each concubine has placed a cup of hot tea on the position, as well as a pastry specially prepared by the queen, and the queen herself is also wearing a phoenix dress and sitting on the phoenix seat, waiting for the arrival of the concubines.
The first person to come is Zheng Guiren, Zheng Guiren is not a very favored person on weekdays, and he loves the east and the west family the most, wandering around the three palaces and six courtyards, and the morning and dusk provinces are naturally the most active part, I am afraid that except for the queen Qin Yurong, there is no earlier than her.
I saw Zheng Guiren enter the front hall and salute Qin Yurong. Queen Qin Yurong was holding a cup of tea and tasting it, and with the rest of her eyes, she felt that a concubine had arrived, which was really a bit surprising.
"Zheng Guiren? Zheng Guiren came so early. ”
Zheng Guiren saluted and got up, smiling, with a little flattery to please the queen mother: "The queen mother ordered us to enter the Xuande Hall for the first time in the morning and dusk of the province, and the concubine, as a harem concubine, naturally wants to come earlier, how can you call the queen mother to wait?" ”
The corner of the queen's mouth hooked a smile: "You have a heart, sit down." ”
The palace maid beside the queen, Zhen Zhu, stepped forward and pointed out the direction of the seat for Zheng Guiren: "Zheng Guiren, please ...... here."
Zheng Guiren was still smiling: "There is Miss Lao." ”
Compared with Concubine Zhao Chen's previous attitude towards the queen's mother, and the appearance of beating the palace maid Zheng Zhu in front of the queen's mother, Zheng Guiren is simply in stark contrast, and Zheng Guiren is a palace concubine, but his attitude towards his subordinates is so friendly and friendly, even Zheng Zhu can't help but have a little more affection for Zheng Guiren.
Sleek and sophisticated, it is a bit like Yang Zipei when he just entered the palace, that is, Yang Zipei was still a Jieyu, and now she is a much-loved concubine.
Zheng Guiren has just arrived on the front foot, and Xiao Concubine, Concubine Chang and Liu Guiren have already arrived on the back foot. These three people are gentle in their footsteps, and their temperament is slow, and they don't like to make trouble in the palace, and the three of them stepped forward to salute the queen, and the queen also responded with a smile.
"Get up and sit down."
In addition to the queen of the middle palace in the palace, the highest status of the three people are Concubine Zhao Chen, Concubine Chang and Concubine Rou, and Concubine Zhao Chen has also been named a concubine, and her status in the palace has become the same as that of the queen, Concubine Zhao Chen is naturally sitting on the right side of the queen's mother, and Concubine Chang once presided over the sacrificial ceremony as a priestess, and her status is higher than that of Concubine Rou, so she naturally sits on the left side.
The rest of the harem concubines sat down in turn according to their status, Liu Guiren sat opposite each other, and Xiao Concubine sat opposite Concubine Rou.
At this time, Wu Yanjian came alone.
Just because Wu Yanjian was born tall and had a high vision, and he didn't like the things that the harem concubines loved, they were also the favorite aromatherapy, fat powder, embroidery, jewelry and other things that those women loved. I only love the man's favorite horseback riding and archery, animal taming, etc., and the harem concubines have no common interests and communication points, so they don't get along very closely.
Xiao Concubine noticed Wu Yanjian, when Wu Yan came, she saluted the queen and the concubines who were higher than herself, and when she turned to her place, Xiao Concubine nodded and smiled at Wu Yanjian, Wu Yanjian was born a person who doesn't like to laugh, and when she saw Xiao Concubine like this, it was not good not to show it, so she forced a smile.
To say that the status is not as good as Concubine Chang, Concubine Xiao and others, it is not necessarily true, at least for Concubine Chang, Wu Jieyu's father, as the prime minister of Zhengyipin, is naturally much higher than the official position of his father Yang Zhong.
Although Concubine Chang's position is high, she is still inferior to Wu Yanjian in terms of background.
Seeing that a large number of concubines have arrived one after another, and there is still space in the seats of the concubines with higher positions in front, the queen mother ordered that the time will arrive today, but there are still two who have not arrived, namely Zhao Chengui Concubine and Rou Fei.
Queen Qin Yurong actually expected that these two people might be delayed, but she didn't expect that at this time, the time was already close to the end of the day, and the people had not yet arrived.
This is only the first day of the morning and dusk province, and he has already been so unruly, and he does not know what will become of it in the future, and it is simply unorthodox.
Qin Yurong's heart was already very uncalm, but on the surface, he was still calm, and just instructed the palace maids around him: "Why don't Concubine Zhao Chen and Concubine Rou come when they arrive, Sanxi, Zhenzhu, you go to Yongfu Palace and Ganquan Palace to urge, all the concubines are waiting." ”
Ji Zhu and Sanxi responded: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
But before the palace maid Sanxi went to Ganquan Palace, Ganquan Palace had already sent someone to Xuande Palace.
Concubine Rou's personal palace maid told the queen: "Queen Niangniang, I'm really sorry, my master's old illness has recurred, intimidating all the ladies, and now I'm afraid that I can't come to Xuande Hall to meet the queen Niangniang, my master also said that when the illness is cured, I must come to ask the queen for guilt." ”
Qin Yurong also knew that Concubine Rou was not in good health, and she was framed by Concubine Zhao Chen and was unable to have children, and she was one of the poor concubines in the harem. ”
Zhishu left. When Zhishu was walking out of the Xuande Palace, because he kept his head down when he walked, and because the person who came walked lightly and walked slowly and big, he accidentally bumped into it.
Zhishu hit the ground, and before he could shake his senses, he saw Hua Lian, the palace maid in Zhao Chen's palace, stepped forward and slapped the palace maid Zhishu: "You don't have long eyes when you walk?" Dare to collide with our noble concubine! ”
Zhishu looked up and saw that it was Concubine Zhao Chen, so he lowered his head again. Concubine Zhao Chen is a notoriously spicy and difficult to mess with, not to mention that the palace maid knows books, when Concubine Zhao Chen was still Concubine Chen, even the Zhu in the queen's palace dared to beat and scold at will, not to mention the palace maid in the palace of Concubine Rou.
Even if Concubine Rou is standing here, she can only be oppressed by Concubine Zhao Chen.
Concubine Zhao Chen glanced at the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and bowed her head, but she also recognized it as the personal palace maid in Concubine Rou's palace. I saw that Concubine Zhao Chen stepped on the hands of the palace maid's two hands without care, and in the Xuande Palace, all the concubines were there, including the queen, and they all saw this scene clearly.
The palace maid Zhishu endured the pain and did not make a sound, and her eyes swirled in the frame of her eyes. Concubine Zhao Chen walked over with her sleeves brushed up, as if this incident had not happened.
Concubine Zhao Chen still maintained her usual style and style, looking up at all the concubines present, each of them was dressed in gorgeous but consistent with her identity, and she was completely in line with etiquette. But Concubine Zhao Chen is still dressed in gorgeous clothes, so she is not beautiful.
However, it is not more arrogant than before, it seems to be a little more restrained, if in the past, Concubine Zhao Chen should have challenged the authority of the queen mother in front of the queen mother, and appeared in a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.
Although Zhao Chen Guifei has come to visit, but the time has been delayed for a long time, Zhao Chen Guifei stepped forward, and all the concubines and concubines visited Zhao Chen Guifei together, only to see Zhao Chen Guifei lazily bowed to the queen Qin Yurong, and then lazily moved her steps, but between the laziness was to add some enchanting charm, but the queen was a little unhappy in her heart.
Originally, Concubine Zhao Chen had been late for a long time, delaying the time of everyone in the harem, and also embarrassed Queen Qin Yurong for a while, but now that she is here, not only does she not explain the reason, but she is also so lazy and lazy, as if there is no queen in her eyes.
The harem concubines were already muttering something about Concubine Zhao Chen, but they saw Concubine Zhao Chen speak: "What's the matter on the bright side, why do you want to whisper there??" ”
The person who muttered in a whisper was Zheng Guiren of Weiyang Palace, and the eyes of Concubine Chang Niang, the head of Weiyang Palace, gestured to Zheng Guiren, and Zheng Guiren was immediately silent, but saw Zhao Chen Guifei looking at Concubine Chang and smiling, with a taste of contempt at the corner of her mouth.
Concubine Yang Zipei was once not favored in the palace, and she took Concubine Zhao Chen as a big tree, at that time it was still Yang Jieyu, who stayed in Concubine Zhao Chen's camp for a long time, and then got close to Concubine Xiao, and was hated by Concubine Zhao Chen.
Now it seems that Concubine Zhao Chen is not friendly to Concubine Chang.
Queen Qin Yurong was already very dissatisfied with Concubine Zhao Chen, so she asked: "Concubine Zhao Chen, the palace has set a time to meet today, and all the concubines in the palace have arrived, why didn't you only arrive with Concubine Zhao Chen?" ”
Concubine Zhao Chen just sat on her seat as steady as Mount Tai, standing still: "Niangniang, yesterday Your Majesty came to the concubine's Yongfu Palace, the concubine was tired of serving the monarch, and she slept this morning, so she slept over, Niangniang is not strange." ”
After speaking, Concubine Zhao Chen pursed her lips and smiled softly at Queen Qin Yurong, as if she didn't care about this matter.
The queen wanted to give Concubine Zhao Chen a dismount today, and said with a pretended smile: "Since the palace is the master of the harem, it is natural to set an example for the concubines in the harem, Concubine Zhao Chen, you are at the head of the concubines, and you should set an example for everyone in the harem, right?" If everyone is like Concubine Zhao Chen, and doesn't pay attention to the words of the palace, then is the harem still presentable? ”
The queen's tone was calm, but everyone in the harem heard the inner meaning of the queen's words, so all the concubines stood up and saluted.
"The queen mother is angry, and the concubines and concubines will respect the queen mother and abide by the palace rules."
Everyone is like this, Concubine Zhao Chen looked around left and right, only she was sitting in the position alone, she was still a little uncomfortable, so she also stood up very reluctantly, and said lazily: "The concubine must respect the queen and abide by the palace rules......"
Empress Qin Yurong stared at Concubine Zhao Chen: "Concubine Zhao Chen, do you know what happened today?" ”
It seems that Qin Yurong wants to admit his mistake in front of all the concubines.
Although Concubine Zhao Chen was unwilling, in this situation, the queen was the master of the middle palace, and Concubine Zhao Chen didn't dare to contradict the queen like before. reluctantly said: "Since the queen said that the concubine was wrong, the concubine naturally did not dare to refute, the queen said that it was wrong, then it was wrong, and the queen forgave the sin." ”
