Chapter 655: Meet King Chen
Thinking of this, the fist hidden in his sleeve clenched a little more. But it was only for a moment, for fear that King Chen and the others in this palace would find out that something was wrong, he quickly let go of his hand, and turned to look ahead with a smile.
Of course, Yan Yan is mixed with a lot of water, after all.
"What a fool." Seeing this, King Chen sneered even more in his heart.
It's a shame that he thought just now that this guy's movements and demeanor looked a little bit like the nasty ghost Remnant Yang who commanded the royal secret guard in Qi Kingdom. But this appearance of others proves that he is clearly just a simple stupid and stupid guy, and he actually thinks that he is the remnant yang who is particularly powerful in martial arts, he has really seen too many things, and he feels like the nasty ghost he knows when he sees everything.
Old, old.
King Chen rubbed his head and said to the concubine next to him: "There is still a little thing that needs to be dealt with in the palace, and it is rare for the brother of the concubine to come over, so you can catch up with him."
"The concubine sends the king." When the concubine heard what King Chen said, she hurriedly got up from the stool where she was sitting, and blessed the person again. When King Chen left, she put away the hypocritical smile she had practiced to deal with King Chen, and turned to her brother and said, "Brother, has something happened at home during this time?"
"Thanks to my mother's blessing, the family is calm and nothing happens." The grain store owner said, hurriedly stood up from the stool, and said respectfully.
Before entering the palace, Concubine You already had someone she liked, and that person was first-class in appearance and character, and the only thing she lacked was that she had no money.
At that time, the grain store encountered the biggest crisis since they opened the store, and if this crisis was not solved in a short time, the grain store would close down, and their brother and sister would live on the streets, becoming real homeless people.
At that time, the officials of their province were gathering the beauties of the province to conduct a large-scale election of concubines in the province. and those who passed the provincial election had fifty taels of silver. In order to make a living, the concubine at that time gave up her vow to spend her white head with her lover and threw herself into the arms of the environment specially set up by the provincial officials for King Chen to choose a concubine.
Your concubine is good-looking, lively and cheerful, and smart and sensible since she was a child. It is because of this temperament that she is deeply liked by her parents. The biggest benefit that her parents like her is that since she was a child, she wants to learn what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, reading and writing, and her parents don't want to let her learn directly.
It was because I had learned this since I was a child, and the concubine at that time was much more capable than other concubine candidates, and she easily passed the provincial election.
In the same way, you also received fifty taels of silver from the provincial officials to reward them for these selections, and used the fifty taels of silver to help her brother's grain store survive the difficulties.
Similarly, in order to repay the favor of the provincial official with fifty taels of silver, and to make the family's life a little better, she went to the capital without hesitation to participate in the concubine selection test in the capital reported by King Chen and the Queen Mother. Soon, she successfully passed the exam and became a concubine in Queen Chen's harem. After experiencing a series of things such as palace fighting, your concubine has risen from a small nobleman to the most favored and trusted concubine of King Chen.
His brother always thought that he was doing well in the palace, he could wear beautiful clothes every day, eat delicious food that he had struggled to eat all his life, and there were a lot of people waiting, he didn't have to cook anything himself, and someone would bring it to his mouth as long as he beckoned to eat what he wanted.
Brocade clothes and jade food, glory and wealth, isn't the palace particularly good?
It is the end of your concubine that every time she meets her brother and hears her brother's remarks about how good the palace is, she wants to laugh.
If she could, she really wanted her brother to tell the palace that it wasn't as good as she thought. There are many concubines in the palace besides her, and those concubines are older than her, and they all have princes and princesses. They don't have anything, but the only thing they don't have is King Chen's favor.
As the saying goes, the more favored the person, the more jealous the person will be. There are many jealous people, and there will be a lot of open guns and hidden arrows in the palace.
Yes, those open guns and arrows are all aimed at You. Your concubine can suffer from this every day, and over time, there will be a little more depression in her heart.
But what about depression in your heart? Tell people how depressed you are? Or let King Chen punish those concubines who bullied her? How is this possible!
She is the most proficient person in the palace, and the people in Guan Jiu Palace are full of praise for her, and even say that she is the reincarnation of a virtuous concubine who is known as gentle and virtuous in the harem group of the founding emperor of Chen State. For the sake of her own face, she could only endure it, but she couldn't stand it anymore, so she replied with such a few words.
Of course, your concubine's reply is the reply of pear blossoms with rain, not the kind of scolding and scolding used by ordinary concubines.
Of course, the consequence of her doing this was to arouse the public anger of the palace people around her, and some palace people even secretly ran to invite King Chen or the personal palace maids next to the concubine, and let them make decisions for the beauty of your concubine.
Because your concubine is favored, the palace people next to King Chen heard that the palace people came to report that your concubine was bullied, and they didn't want to go directly to report it.
King Chen already likes a weak and boneless beauty like your concubine, and after listening to what the eunuch said, he immediately went to the place where your concubine was to comfort your concubine and make decisions for her.
Over time, your concubine will be even more favored.
But King Chen spoiled her because of her beauty. Once she is old and frail, and her beauty is gone, he won't even look at him. Relying on beauty to maintain favor is not a long-term solution. The most important thing now is to conceive a child, give birth to that child, and raise her.
After all, only when you have children, you have security. When King Chen leaves, he also has a guarantee, and he will not live a depressed life like other concubines.
It's just that my belly is so unlucky.
Thinking of this, your concubine sighed, and said in her heart: "It would be good if you could give birth to a pair of children while you are favored."
After thinking about it, Concubine You quickly returned to normal, only to see her walk down from the high platform and personally help the grain store owner: "You and I are brothers and sisters, why should my brother be so polite?" Get up. ”
Your concubine said that the owner of the grain store should not be polite, hurry up, that is from the bottom of her heart.
After all, their parents died, and she was raised by her brother since she was a child. Feelings are deep, and that's normal.
However, when the concubine said to let her get up, it doesn't mean that the grain store owner doesn't need to be polite and get up immediately. No, when your concubine helped him up, she said specially: "Niangniang, no."
