"Niangniang, Niangniang, I heard that Concubine Hui Niangniang held an herbal tea party in the Liang Palace, and several court wives who came with me went!" Concubine Qi held a book without distraction, and when she heard Danqing's elated voice, she didn't even raise her eyes, but only responded casually: "Yes, that's really lively." ”

Danqing inquired about the news outside, and rushed into the quiet room to report to Concubine Qi, but Concubine Qi's response was not salty and indifferent, but it was like ice ballast that pierced into her passionate heart, and now it was the scorching summer, but she felt chills all over her body.

"Niangniang...... Danqing said with the last glimmer of hope, "Niangniang will also go and see?" Your tea art is so good, and the herbal tea you brew must be excellent. Seeing that Concubine Qi was still immersed in the world of the book, she didn't pay any attention to her, she bit her lip, and her voice involuntarily sharpened: "Niangniang!" If you don't go, with Concubine Hui here, Your Majesty will be disgusted with you sooner or later! ”

Concubine Qi's hand holding the book paused slightly, and she looked up at Danqing, who had been burning some hope and her heart was cold again.

Concubine Qi's gaze was very strange, but it was extremely clear, which made people feel a little bad thought: "Your Majesty can occasionally think of me and come to see me, I am very satisfied, but it is a lively tea party, what does it matter if I don't go?" ”

Danqing almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and here she is again, again, her master obviously has an elegant beauty that is not inferior to anyone, knowledgeable, and brilliant, but she has a momentum that is indisputable with the world, so she took the trouble to come to Concubine Qi......

Xu felt a little sorry for Danqing's hard work for herself, Concubine Qi was finally willing to put down the book in her hand, and smiled at Danqing with a slight apology, her voice was soft, making people completely discouraged: "Danqing, you have been with me for so many years, I am not angry, let you bother." ”

Danqing clenched her fists tightly, but her face was smiling to herself: "What is Niangniang talking about, the slave's loyalty to Niangniang can be seen by the sun and the moon, but it is just ......" She looked at Concubine Qi's indifferent face, and finally made a solemn decision in her heart.

"It's just...... Niang Niang really doesn't want His Majesty's 'occasional' to become more 'occasional'? ”

On the other hand, Jiang Wan sat on the extremely beautiful water pavilion platform in the Lianggong Palace, and smiled at the court women sitting below, with a peach-colored brocade robe, with her fair face with light makeup and a pair of phoenix eyes that were not angry and self-imposing, she was in the limelight among all the beautiful women who looked like flowers for a while.

"It's a kind of fate for everyone to gather in the cool palace of this palace today." Jiang Wan picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table in front of him, and smiled: "You are all ladies with a fate, this palace will not be more restrained, please feel free to taste tea." ”

The ladies wearing various grades and styles of edict clothes quietly exchanged glances with each other, led by a few ladies in first-grade edict suits, and slowly knelt down, which was the demeanor of kneeling down to the queen: "The concubine obeys the teachings of the mother." Jiang Wan, who was sitting at the top, saw this, and the smile on the corner of his lips turned a little ironic, and he didn't embarrass these cannon fodder ladies who had been admonished by the husband, and raised his hands slightly: "Get up, in this big summer, let's focus on the body." Several women responded to the call, and they accompanied each other to find a seat, and sat down in an elegant posture.

They didn't have the heart to explore what was wrong between the couple, they only remembered that their husband Jun Qianqian instructed to worship Concubine Hui as the queen, and they didn't feel very embarrassed, after all, this was the mother of the country for a long time, and it would not be too awkward for them to worship.

But Jiang Wan's mood was completely ruined, she was really angry, she thought that after recruiting these women in one place, everyone would taste tea with a good voice, and by the way, they could talk, who of you present is not the housewife in charge of the family? She also thought that as long as she casually talked when the atmosphere was the most relaxed, like this, like this, and shared the gossip of each family, she Jiang Wan would no longer have to endure the barren entertainment projects of ancient times.

What is the saying? Yes, in ancient times, gossip was the primary productive force, didn't you see the chief of the inner and the first confidant of Lu Zhixing, Wang Shouyi, isn't he the king of gossip? Up and down this palace, where can the gossip pass him.

But now, this group of people is estimated to have been instructed by the master to respect themselves as queens, but what about that group of officials? Needless to say, it was Lu Zhixing who did it.

Okay, you Lu Xingzhou, while talking good and thinking about attacking me, you want to cut off my back road, and you want to rely on these public opinions to force me to go to Liangshan? Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, I tell you, there is no door!

But right now, Jiang Wan is really helpless, big brother, it doesn't matter if you cut off my back road, I don't care about these vain things like those ancient women, but you are blocking my gossip! Thinking of this, her eyes fell on Chen, the prime minister's wife, who was sitting closest to her and was faintly headed among the women, and Chen received her fiery gaze, and immediately hung her head numbly.

Last time, I also said that the youngest concubine of the prime minister's family fell in love with your aunt's brother's brother-in-law's eldest son, and the follow-up! What about the follow-up! Her eyes almost burst into flames, and at this time, she really wanted to rush down and shake the shoulders of the Chen clan of the Jiangnan Wang clan with all her might, and yelled like Ziwei: You return me to the truth! You give me back the truth!

At this point, Jiang Wan's gossip operation was officially bankrupt.

She was unhappy, but she didn't show any on her face, but smiled more kindly, and played with the wooden teapot in her hand without speaking, just staring at these ladies. The ladies at the bottom were able to endure it at first, and a few ladies who were steeped in the way of making tea could still whisper under her idle gaze and make tea together; Gradually, after a long time, even the movements in their hands stopped, among which the prime minister's wife Chen was the most, and she did not forget the eyes of this lady who stared at her.

After looking at each other, in the end, Chen was helplessly promoted, and his heart trembled and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang...... But there are instructions to give to the concubines? ”

Jiang Wan looked around with a smile, and looked at each lady with uncomfortable expressions, and then said slowly: "This palace is nothing serious, it's just ......"

The ladies looked at her expectantly, and said, "Say it quickly, if you don't say it, our heart attack will come out."

She endured the unhappiness in her heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's just that Your Majesty is only one person in this palace now, and Concubine Qi is an old man in the palace, but she has always been an indisputable character in the world, and this palace wants to ...... There have been no new people in the palace for a long time, and the ladies are ...... in the house."

As the so-called stone stirs up a thousand waves, I heard that this lady actually wanted to help His Majesty choose a concubine! The eyes of several ladies who had school-age daughters in the family suddenly lit up like light bulbs at night, shining brightly; There is no school-age daughter under his knees, his expression was gloomy at first, and he couldn't stop regretting it, but he quickly cheered up, and like those wives who were ecstatic in his heart, he looked at Jiang Wan with bright eyes: Just kidding, I don't have a school-age daughter, and it's okay for my mother's family and cousins who don't know how far away! You must know that this choice of concubine is a great thing for one person to attain the Tao and the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.

For a while, several ladies changed their dull speechlessness, you say a word, I say a word, a Miss Chen here can recite poetry at the age of seven, and a Miss Wang over there is envious of others, chattering, so lively.

Jiang Wan took the teacup that Ping'er respectfully handed over, lowered his eyelids, and took a sip gently. She doesn't like to fix these vain things, and over time, the skills that her subordinates have learned for her have also grown, especially Hio'er, who makes good tea, which makes her very fond of it.

She listened to the words of the ladies below, smiled, swallowed the cold tea in her mouth, and the tea ironed with ice cubes retained the heavy taste of ancient times, but also added a coolness that belonged to her and was modern.

This time I came to the summer palace, and I was very happy, and I deliberately used the small "ice cellar" invented by Jiang Wan, which was actually a thick quilt, wrapped in a box of ice, and covered it tightly. She also wondered why she brought her own ice, but she didn't know that Na Nizi actually said angrily: "Your Majesty makes Niangniang unhappy, then Niangniang will use her own ice, so that you don't need the things of the summer palace of Raushzi!" So, I also brought a lot of other bits and pieces, and this time I traveled, and it was Concubine Hui's carriage the most.

Jiang Wan had to smile bitterly, is it her own thing? But up and down this palace, what is there that is not from his land trip to Lu Xingzhou? Including the glamorous Concubine Hui Niangniang in front of herself, isn't she still a thing that comes and goes at a moment's notice in his eyes?

She knew that she shouldn't be so suspicious of Lu Zhixing, and she also knew that she was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and she got into the horns; But she just knew that even if she became the queen, he would ignore the three thousand beauties in the harem and only guard him all his life?

Jiang Wan smiled bitterly in her heart, impossible, the idea of the feudal imperial system of the ancients was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, not to mention Lu Zhixing, who had been influenced by this kind of thinking since she was born, even if she believed who could do it, she couldn't believe him.

That's it, there is no need for her Jiang Wan to be willing to imprison her whole life for love. Fortunately, she reminded herself all the time that she was just one of his concubines, and she could occasionally turn a blind eye to his behavior in the wombs of other concubines; But what if she becomes the queen and becomes his rightful wife? Jiang Wan thought in a trance, since she couldn't change him, and he couldn't change her, so be it.

"Madame Prime Minister," she put on a smile that couldn't have been kinder, "I just heard you mention Miss Chen San under your knees......"

Let it go with the wind, and I will not move.
