Chapter 317: A Special Person
Liu Heng thought for a while and said, "Queen Mother, it is a must." There are also Yun Guifei and Concubine Wen. Only three masters are present today. ”
Zhou Huanchun sighed, "Cheng, then choose three." ”
No wonder the emperor is so generous, if the masters of the harem were all present, he probably wouldn't let her choose.
However, it is also possible that she will be picked. After all, she will make up for the emperor. The things that make up, anyway, are better than the things that are taken, right?
The woman in the harem, she didn't want to have too much to do with it, so she directly chose a more valuable one for the queen, and the other two concubines, forget it.
After choosing three items, he said goodbye to Gonggong Liu and was sent to Yongle Palace by several little eunuchs.
In the beginning, it was a free venue, but now it has begun to be regulated. Because of the main seat of Yongle Palace, there are three harem maidens.
The queen sits in the center, and Jingguo respects the left, so the one sitting on the left is Concubine Yun, and the right is Concubine Wen.
Zhou Huanchun saw at a glance that Concubine Wen's appearance was really outstanding. Her eyesight is good, she can see that Concubine Wen's skin is not wearing makeup at all, but only embellishes a transparent lipstick on her lips.
The whole lip looks very natural. This lipstick, without a doubt, was made by her!
And just by not applying powder, it is so outstanding, I'm afraid this plain makeup is what she is most proud of, right?
Looking at the queen and Yun Guifei, a thick layer was applied on her face, especially on the queen's face, the makeup was even more colorful, but it still couldn't cover the wrinkles on her face.
When Zhou Huanchun first arrived, it was just right, when the three harem ladies sat down, she stood directly at the end of the crowd.
Next, there is the queen's scene. After talking for almost a quarter of an hour, Zhou Huanchun listened to it like that, who hasn't had a speech yet.
When the queen spoke, Concubine Yun Guifei looked very impatient, while Concubine Wen looked lazy and didn't wake up.
"Well, there are many special snacks and dishes on this long table, as well as drinks, please feel free to do so." After the queen's speech, she ended with this sentence.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Everyone spoke in unison.
Zhou Huanchun took a look at the long table, which was a long rectangular table, full of various dim sum dishes, drinks and the like, and then some chopsticks and plates.
It's a bit like a party, but it's just a little old-fashioned.
Zhou Huanchun looked around the crowd, but she didn't see anyone, she walked for a while, and there were more and more people.
So, simply let Xiao Yi and Xiao Lin take the gifts she chose and walk in front of these three mothers.
These three masters were originally chatting with each other, but when they saw Zhou Huanchun coming, they couldn't help frowning.
Although this is free time, it does not mean that everyone can approach the three of them.
At that moment, the Ouchi guards stopped him.
Seeing this, Zhou Huanchun smiled, "Zhou Ning has seen the queen mother, Yun Guifei, and Concubine Wen. ”
"Zhou Ning?" The three ladies were stunned for a moment, obviously they had heard about her.
Especially the queen, she has heard about Zhou Huanchun. immediately piled up a smile, "Oh, it's Zhou Ning?" Come, come to the Queen Mother. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Zhou Huanchun's matter, even if he didn't hear his son say it, he knew it from others, this is not an ordinary person.
Not to mention saving her son's life, her husband still secretly supports his son's money bag on the throne, how can he miss the opportunity to make friends?
Zhou Huanchun walked over with a smile, and the Ouchi guards got out of the way.
"The queen mother is auspicious, and the sons brought some gifts for the queen mother and the two mothers." Then, she gave the gifts in the box to the three of them one by one.
The queen and Concubine Yun were very excited, but Concubine Wen, who looked unmoved, lazily opened the box, and saw that it was a jewel from the Western Regions, so she took a look at the sunset in the sky.
"It's not bad, it's beautiful." Concubine Wen smiled faintly.
This makes people seem that her personality is a little indifferent.
The queen's gift was when the envoys of the Dongqin Kingdom came to propose marriage, and they gave Dongqin's specialty, which was a phoenix carved out of purple jade.
Crystal clear, graceful and luxurious.
And what was given to Yun Guifei was a jade bracelet, although it seemed a little vulgar, but Yun Guifei just liked it.
"Zhou Ning is really filial." The queen was very satisfied, handed it to Zhou Huanchun and said, "Come, put it on for the queen mother." ”
"Yes." Zhou Huanchun walked over with a smile and plugged in the queen on the left side.
Not to mention, although this person looks a little older, the jewelry on his head is really extravagant.
Yun Guifei also smiled and said: "Sister, my sister likes Zhou Ning very much, if she is not already married, I am afraid that she will have to marry the second prince of our family." ”
The queen also smiled: "If you are really not married, can this palace still let your sister you?" This must be a marriage for the prince. ”
Only Concubine Wen didn't speak, but sat lazily, looking at the crowd present, as if she didn't care about herself.
Zhou Huanchun smiled, "Thank you for the love of the queen mother and Yun Guifei, the sons and daughters are also very happy after marriage, and the husband loves him very much." Besides, whether it is the prince's brother or the second brother, they are Zhou Ning's own brothers. It's just that I haven't had a chance to meet my two brothers yet. ”
The queen smiled, "Your fourth brother is also here, you go to find your fourth brother, and ask your fourth brother to take you to see the crown prince and the second prince." ”
Only didn't say anything about Concubine Wen's son.
Zhou Huanchun already understood what was going on, so she smiled and said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the ministers there will retire first, and another day they will have the opportunity to hand over the sign to their father and apply to enter the harem to meet them." ”
This harem is not something you can enter casually. Even the palace guards guarding the harem had to surround themselves under the city walls, and it was impossible to enter the inner courtyard of the harem.
And the women of the harem, even if they are their own brothers and fathers, need to be avoided, and even, those with noble status, they also need partition curtains, such as the queen, the position of Yun Guifei, they need such etiquette.
Only by handing the sign to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply, and then passing it and recording it, can it be released, and some even need to make an appointment for a few days, and it is possible for several months.
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, "Zhou Ning, go quickly." ”
She knew that it was useless for her to woo her, so it was better to let her have more contact with her son. With her thoughts, she estimated whether Zhou Huanchun was not in order to have any news to secretly give to her son, so she urged.
Zhou Huanchun owes herself, "Yes, the son of the minister retired." ”
Then, turn and leave. When he turned around, he took a look at Concubine Wen and found that her eyes had been staring at a certain place in a daze.
She glanced along the line of sight, and found that where the line of sight stayed, there was a beautiful young man, and between the eyebrows, it seemed to be carved out of a mold like her.
And it just so happened that beside him, it was Zhao Qin who was talking to him.
Zhou Huanchun went straight over and shouted, "Fourth brother." ”
Zhao Qin looked at the source of the voice, and couldn't help but laugh: "Huanchun? Come on, come on, I'll introduce you, this is your sixth brother. ”
Sixth brother? The sixth prince Zhao Lin?
Zhou Huanchun looked at the six princes, at this age, he looked a little older than her.
His whole temperament is very calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his clothes are also very elegant.
So he smiled and saluted, "Sixth brother." ”
Zhao Lin smiled slightly, "I was still talking to the fourth brother about you just now, and when I saw the real person today, it was indeed much more beautiful than I imagined." ”
Zhou Huanchun smiled slightly, "The sixth brother's mouth is so sweet, obviously he is holding spirits in his hand, why is it like drinking honey?" ”
Zhao Lin said with a smile: "The fourth brother has always said that you have a lively personality, and this is true. The dim sum in the palace, can it be returned to the entrance? ”
Zhou Huanchun snorted, "Naturally, the things in the palace are much more delicious than outside." By the way, Concubine Wen, is she the mother of the sixth brother? ”
Zhao Lin nodded, "Yes, have you seen it?" ”
"Yes, I did." Zhou Huanchun smiled, "However, Concubine Wen doesn't seem to like me." ”
Zhao Lin smiled faintly, "The concubine has a calm temperament, she has never been smiling, you don't have to care, she is the same for me." ”
Zhou Huanchun sighed, "By the way, fourth brother, sixth brother, why didn't you see the prince's brother and second brother?" Just now, the queen mother and Yun Guifei, let me say hello. ”
Zhao Qin laughed, "They? In the pile of beauties, I'm afraid you won't be able to get close today. ”
Then, pointing to the two locations with his finger, Zhou Huanchun took a look and found that these two people were really popular.
However, she felt very strange, compared to the crown prince and the second prince, Zhao Qin and Zhao Lin should be more popular.
Zhao Qin's character is a loose king, comfortable together. Zhao Lin, but a beautiful boy, who doesn't like it? Fairy in the fairy!
"Okay, don't bother people." Zhou Huanchun shrugged.
However, when his eyes stayed on the position of the second prince, he found a familiar figure.
How could she be here?
Zhou Huanchun's eyes narrowed, feeling strange.
"That's right, Huanchun, that ......" Zhao Qin stopped talking again.
Zhou Huanchun raised her eyes and looked at him, "Fourth brother, this is not like your character, what do you have to say, can you still swallow and spit out?" ”
Zhao Qin smiled awkwardly, "That...... Just now, the right minister brought a person, I looked very familiar, and then I looked at it again, it was indeed her. ”
"Who?" Zhou Huanchun asked.
Zhao Qin thought for a while and said, "It won't be wrong, it's the eldest lady of the Zhou family, Zhou Qinglian." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Huanchun was stunned, "It's strange, can the right minister get in touch with Zhou Qinglian?" ”
"I also think it's strange, don't you look at this?" Zhao Qin asked.
Zhou Huanchun shrugged, "How do I know?" Besides, didn't Zhou Qinglian's loss of virginity say that it had spread throughout the entire imperial capital? This right phase is connected to her, what is this? What's more, it's still from the Zhou family! ”
Zhao Qin also felt strange, "Yes, it stands to reason that it is unlikely." However, the right minister introduced her to your sixth brother. ”
Zhou Huanchun was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, "Huh? How could the sixth brother want that broken flower and willow? ”
Facing Zhou Huanchun's gaze, Zhao Lin smiled slightly, "Also in officialdom, it's not good to be too stiff." As for what will happen after the introduction, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Zhao Lin's face always maintained the kind of smile that was hidden but not seen, calm, clear, and elegant.
Zhou Huanchun sneered, "It seems that the sixth brother also knows about the eldest lady of the Zhou family?" ”
Zhao Lin smiled: "What if you know, it has nothing to do with me, I only care about the people and things I care about." ”
"What about Zhou Qinglian?" Zhou Huanchun asked.
Zhao Lin shook his head, "I found an excuse to leave, and I never saw her again." ”
Zhou Huanchun felt strange, it was impossible for this right minister to send Zhou Qinglian to the palace to introduce the six princes for no reason, right?
Just thinking about it, suddenly, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and whispered into the queen's ear.
"What?" The queen's eyes widened, and she stood up with a pout.
