Chapter 11: Concubine Zhuang (2)

"Xiang Guifei, is this deliberately misinterpreting the meaning of concubines? Or do you have a famous family and lived in the harem for five years, but you don't know that concubines can only be regarded as serious masters when they are promoted to the concubine position, and they can be rightfully called 'Niangniang'? Shao Feixu hates Shen Xiaoxiang's arrogant and serious face the most, thinking that when she had a miscarriage, she was not as gloating as everyone else, where was she nobler than others?

"Oh? Why, do you mean that Concubine Zhuang was not a serious master when she was Zhaoyi? Or did you not regard Concubine Zhuang as the master in your heart? Shen Xiaoxiang motioned to the maid Binghe to present a pair of white jade carved twisted silk bracelets.

"You ......" was so-for-tat by Shen Xiaoxiang, Shao Feixu was exhausted for a while, and at this time, Meng Xiruo, a talented person on the side, had the heart to relieve Shao Feixu: "Sister Ru Concubine must not mean this, the hierarchy in this harem is strict, and the lower ones have the same awe for the superiors, if you say that the real master, I am afraid that only the emperor and the queen mother can do it......" Meng Xi was pulled by Jiang Lianhuan, who was sitting next to her, before she finished speaking, suggesting that she was not good.

"Meng Cairen is so eloquent, he didn't sleep in the same palace with Ru Concubine in vain, and he really helped him, I just hope you don't follow the wrong master." Shen Xiaoxiang glanced at Meng Xiruo from the corner of his eye, not paying attention to it at all. Although Meng Xiruo and Shao Feixu lived in the same Qiutang Palace, they couldn't talk about how deep their friendship was, but they felt that it was very inappropriate to fight like this in front of Concubine Zhuang, so they persuaded each other, but they didn't expect to provoke themselves. She was an honest person, and when she heard the sarcasm in Concubine Xiang's words, she didn't dare to make a sound, and the atmosphere became a little embarrassing for a moment. Wen Feng intended to resolve the embarrassment at this time, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "The maid of the concubine's sister is called Binghe, and the concubine's maid is called Xia He, and they all have the word 'lotus' in their names, what a coincidence!" The concubine has just entered the palace, Xia He naturally does not know as much about the rules in the palace as Binghe, Xia He will have to learn more from your sister Binghe in the future. ”

"The slave obeys." Xia He gave a salute to Bing He, and while Bing He smiled back, he was thinking in his heart, Shang Lixuan's rules were clearly in harmony with the mud when she got the slave and maid of her Yilan Palace.

"My sister is so reluctant to seek the near and far, my sister and I are going to be sad. My Feiyan is also very familiar with the rules of the palace, you and I live in Shanglixuan, why bother Xiang Guifei with such a trivial matter? It's better to let Xia He ask Feiyan for advice, what do you say, Sister Xiang? Yu nobleman Han Qianyu also joined in the conversation with a slightly strange atmosphere.

"That's nature." Shen Xiaoxiang was too lazy to argue with these little nobles. At this time, Yun Concubine didn't say a word, only quietly observed the every move of everyone present, and seeing that she had not moved, Luo Zixiao, who lived with her in the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, asked casually: "Why hasn't Sister Yun spoken, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"Well, I've been a little dizzy since I woke up this morning, probably because I slept too late last night." Saying that, Yun Shu gently rubbed his temples with his hand a few times, looking like he was out of energy. Han Qianyu saw Yun Shu's crooked and weak appearance, and she was very disdainful in her heart, the concubine who had fallen out of favor a long time ago, and she didn't need to sleep, why did she sleep so late? Who can you show if you pretend to be weak and can't help it?

"Since Concubine Yun is sick, then everyone will disperse. You congratulate this palace on your intentions, and this palace knows it. Li Jingxi was really tired of watching the group of concubines below fighting openly and secretly, so she just took advantage of this excuse to let them all leave Guanju Palace. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Concubine Yun for this timely headache. As soon as Li Jingxiao spoke, all the concubines also got up and retreated, leaving only Li Shutian behind.

"Even if you sent away this group of crows, the noise hurts my brain, no wonder Concubine Yun can't stand it." After everyone was gone, Li Shutian sat next to Li Jingxi, complaining about the scene just now.

"Yun Concubine is a smart person. Jiang Guiren, Wen Guiren and Luo Guiren are also not bad, you can usually interact with the three of them more, as for Ru Concubine, Xiang Gui Concubine and the like, it is better to stay away. Although Li Jingxi has not been in the palace for a long time, she has also touched the character of the people in the palace.

"My sister knows that she usually talks a lot to these three sisters. My sister is now very glad that Yuxiu Palace does not have a master's seat, which saves a lot of trouble. Don't talk about this, cousin, look at the congratulatory gift I brought you? Without waiting for Li Shutian's instructions, Ruixiang presented the gift, and Li Jingxiao took it and saw that it was a thick stack of travelogues and miscellaneous conversations.

"It's still my sister who knows me best, and I remember that I liked to read these miscellaneous books when I was not out of the cabinet, but now it's rare in the palace." Seeing that Shu Tian was wearing the jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt she gave today, she picked out a valuable butterfly from the emperor's reward and inserted it on Li Shutian's hair bun: "This is just right!" ”

"Today is the joy of my cousin's promotion, why did my cousin reward me with something?" Li Shutian was both helpless and happy.

"It's okay, you and my sister, don't worry about that. Anyway, why don't you see Lan nobles among the people who congratulate today? Li Jingshan was quite impressed by Fang Huanshan, not only because she was awarded the title without sleeping like Li Shutian, but also because this girl was so beautiful, Fang Huanshan was the most top-notch among these show girls.

"Cousin, don't you know, the emperor announced that she was sleeping last night, and now she is proud, I'm afraid that I have forgotten about the things next to me to the clouds. Besides, I robbed her of her head favor, and the emperor favors her cousin the most, she hates us behind her back, where will she really congratulate her? Thinking of Fang Yushan's arrogant and domineering appearance, Li Shutian didn't want to mention it.

"If you are tall and beautiful, you will inevitably be arrogant, and if you don't like it, you won't get along. Let's talk about you, does the emperor treat you well? Li Jingxiao looked at Li Shutian funny.

"Cousin! Why are you making fun of me again? After all, Li Shutian was young and thin-skinned, and was made blushing by Li Jingxi's question, but in the end she replied in a thin voice: "The emperor treats me...... Very good. Seeing Shu Tian's shyness like this, the curvaceous knew that the emperor still loved her very much, and the curvaceous was also very pleased. The sisters talked for a while before Li Shutian left Guan Ju Palace.

After the song ended, Guan Ju Palace returned to calm, and Li Jingxi unfolded the holy decree and looked at it carefully. Her fingers touched the word "Zhuang", this is a special title, "Zhuang" has a similar meaning to "Virtue, Noble, Lady, and Virtuous", which can be said to be a title second only to the four concubines, which is the highest honor that Duan Yulin can give Li Jingxi at present. However, Li Jingxi has thought more than once, what exactly does she want? Imperial favor, supreme glory or power money? She got all of this, but instead of feeling happy, her heart was bound by the growing glory. Every time she looked at the majestic peaks and beautiful rivers described in those travelogues, she longed for it, and she wanted to see the vast world outside with her own eyes, rather than being trapped in this gorgeous cage all day long. Li Jingxi suddenly felt that the jewelry on her head was so heavy, and the silk and satin on her body were so tight, she took off the necklace around her neck and put it back in her makeup, and took off the purple chrysanthemum on her head and threw it on the ground. Li Jingxi called out in a very tired voice: "Liuli, I'm so tired, help me go and rest." ”

"Niangniang, Liuli hasn't come back yet, the slave maid is waiting for you to rest." Zimo felt that Li Jingxi was a little strange, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Li Jingxi unloaded most of the weight of her body on Zimo's shoulders, leaned on Zimo and walked to the bed step by step, and accidentally smashed the purple chrysanthemum under her feet.
