Chapter 19 Flowing water is unintentional
Chen Qian has only been on the throne for a year, and the new palace has a higher position and is more favored by a few people who have not shown up today - Kong Guifei, Han Xiuhua, Xu Jieyu, and the heroic Wang Guifei, and the rest such as Yan Shuyuan, Wan Zhaoyi, Liu Zhaohua, Han Xiurong, Pan Ronghua, etc. are all Chen Qian's concubines when he was the king of Linchuan.
It is said that the backstage of the Kong Guifei is very hard, the uncle is the general of Zhengnan and the prince of Qingyuan, he has made great achievements, he is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, so she was named the concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and the scenery is infinite. But this noble concubine is very arrogant with the support of her uncle, and she is domineering and domineering in the palace all day long, bullying and suppressing the superiors, and often does not go to the queen to ask for peace. The emperor also disliked her because of this, but for the sake of the prince of Qingyuan, he didn't blame her more, and only put her in Chonghua Palace, and didn't go once in a few months, letting her sit on a cold bench, out of sight and out of mind.
And the Wang Guifei who dared to speak out sarcastically about Concubine Kong was not small, she was the niece of the Empress Dowager Zhang, her mother was the sister of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the relationship between Wang and Zhang's aunts, with the Empress Dowager Zhang as the backstage, the emperor naturally did not dare to treat her lightly, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was the highest ranking person under the queen and concubine, and she was also very noble.
Thinking of Wan Zhaoyi who was discussed, I asked Li Fei with a light smile, "Wan Zhaoyi must have been very favored in the past, right?" ”
"How did Niangniang know that Wan Zhaoyi was favored?"
"Liu Zhaohua arranged her vigorously, thinking that she would be so favored in the past, not to mention, the only title in the harem is her, which shows that His Majesty treats her unusually."
Li Fei curled her lips and smiled lightly when she heard this, "Didn't Your Majesty also give Niangniang a title, Your Majesty treats Niangniang differently." ”
Different? Well, it's really different, he gave Wan Zhaoyi a title because of his sincere favor. And I, giving me the word "soft" is clearly a warning to me to be gentle and submissive in front of him, and not to be disobedient. In addition to warnings, it is more to attract those red-eyed concubines, arouse their jealousy, and then burn this fire on me. In the harem, the favored concubines usually don't live long, so he just wants to create the illusion that I am favored, so that the jealous concubines will deal with me. Of course, I still have use value, he won't let me die, but he will definitely let others toss me half to death.
It's just that there are thousands of ways to rectify me, why did Chen Qian choose to let me be his concubine? This needs to be carefully considered.
"Li Fei, I heard Yunxi say that you came to the palace from the Linchuan Palace, you must know a lot more about Wan Zhaoyi than others, I want to hear about her, the more detailed the better."
Li Fei didn't dare to hide it, so she came together what she saw and heard in the Linchuan Palace.
Wan Zhaoyi was originally a palace maid in the Liang Palace in Jiangling, and later General Yu Jin of the Western Wei Dynasty broke through the Liang Palace, Jiangling fell, almost turned into a ruin, Wan Zhaoyi took advantage of the chaos to escape, and lived in Jiankang. Three years ago, she was taken back to the palace by Chen Qian and accepted her as a concubine. Chen Qian doted on her very much, and she had been regarded as a treasure for three years, and finally after Chen Qian ascended the throne, the two had a child, but they had an inexplicable miscarriage within a few months. The imperial doctor could only explain that Wan Zhaoyi's physique was weak and cold, and she was not suitable for childbirth, and most of the children would be lost. Wan Zhaoyi was very sad when she heard this, and she was bedridden, and Chen Qian didn't like her sad relatives all day long, so she rarely went to her palace in the future. After a long time, Wan Zhaoyi fell out of favor.
Disfavor? Is it? I sneered, and took Lifei all the way back to the Yilan Palace.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Chen Qian sent someone to reward a lot of things, such as red agate beads, amber and lapis lazuli bracelets, carnelian gemstone beads, golden green cat's eyes, white sheep fat jade, and snow moss jade......
Yunxi looked at these treasures with a sparkling eye, and counted and cleaned them up for me with a smile. I just felt annoyed, and waved my hand back to Yunxi to take things away with no interest.
I have been bowing my eyebrows and pleasing my eyes when I am greeting you today, and I rarely say anything, trying not to attract attention. But Chen Qian is so flamboyant and eye-catching, what jade pearls, gems and famous jade are constantly sent here, I just don't want to attract people's eyes and have already attracted people's eyes. Chen Qian, I ate the scales and wanted to roll me into the harem, which is a place of right and wrong, and didn't let me live in peace.
Chen Qian still came to Yilan Hall every night to sleep, and asked me to read to him when he was bored, or lay on the bed in silence without saying a word, looking at me with the taste of yin and yin calculations.
Soon, it has been more than a month since I became a concubine, and Chen Qian does not miss his concubine at all, handling government affairs in the Taiji Hall during the day, and staying in my Yilan Hall at night. The other concubines couldn't even see his face, and everyone thought that Rou Xiuyi had exclusive favor with the emperor. How did they know that Chen Qian and I slept on a soft couch and a mattress on the other, and there was nothing at all, where did they have the exclusive possession of Jun'en?
At the time of Hualin Garden (2) Fujutai chrysanthemums in full bloom, Chen Qian held a flower-viewing banquet, the banquet was held in Fujutai, and the palace concubines and princes were invited to bring their relatives to the banquet.
As if deliberately targeting me, I have been locking the gate of the Yilan Palace these days, and I don't take a step in life or death, I just don't want to go out to cause trouble and get in trouble. But Chen Qian ordered everyone, whether they were sick or not, to go to the banquet, so that I was even exempted from the excuse of wanting to pretend to be sick and not going.
Fu Ju Tai on the Yuyu Pavilion, the secluded room of the curved room, the jade step Zhu Column, the white stone of the Han Dynasty is high, the brick carved Heling, the Han Lian cloth. The edge of the high platform is shaded by trees, the blue leaves and stars seem to be clouds and green silk, sometimes or the chrysanthemums are clustered, and they are fragrant and fragrant, beautiful and bright, and the clouds stand up into a wonderful scenery.
In the center of the jade platform, there is a long peony red soft carpet, and there are plates of flowers and beautiful curly chrysanthemums around it, Turui Yanli, or bright as a nebula, or red as Jinxia, or purple as smoke, or as green algae, or as white as fat jade, flowers like rainbows, fragrant and sweet, each with its own grace.
Concubine Kong and Concubine Wang sat on the left and right sides of the queen, and the concubines sat down in turn. Because of Chen Qian's order, Wan Zhaoyi, who was sick, and Han Xiuhua and Xu Jieyu, who were pregnant, also attended, both of whom were one or two months old, so they couldn't see any difference. Han Xiuhua is jade-looking, gentle and silent, Xu Jieyu has smart eyebrows, a playful smile, and is delicate and sweet, all of them are beauties with their own characteristics.
And Wan Zhaoyi, who was sitting below Yan Shuyuan, at first glance, only felt shocked, with distant mountain eyebrows, sheared water and full pupils, jade nose shape, hibiscus lips, soft and greasy like Qiong Jelly Jade Dew, evening snow skin, body posture like a shadow moon and graceful posture, stunning posture, no powder Dai is still amazing, live out of a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Such a beauty, a glamorous crown, no one in the harem can compare, I am afraid that only the general of the right army, Han Zigao, who often serves by Chen Qian's side, can be compared. However, Han Zigao is beautiful, after all, he is a man, and he has a masculine quality, how can he have the temperament of Wan Zhaoyi's ice and snow dust.
I glanced at Chen Qian on the seat, Han Zigao and Jiang Yu stood on the left and right, remembering that when Chen Qian and Han Zigao searched for spies when they just got off the boat and came to Jiankang, they secretly pursed their lips and smiled.
A beauty like Wan Zhaoyi will fall out of favor, should she really be red before the old man breaks off?
Wan Zhaoyi did not look at Chen Qian with expectant or eager eyes like the other concubines, but just sat faintly and quietly like the moon near the water, without sadness or joy.
Wan Zhaoyi's indifferent appearance can be understood as unintentionality towards Chen Qian?
Chen Qian came down from the first seat, walked towards me with a smile like a spring flower, and called tenderly, "Qing'er." ”
Qing'er? I quickly lost goosebumps, and when he called me so affectionately in public, the concubines had different expressions, either lost, sad, or jealous.
A pot of white chrysanthemums in front of the table is spit out, bright and elegant. Chen Qian broke a branch and was about to stick it in my head, but I stepped back vigilantly, but it didn't work. Chen Qian pressed my shoulder with a big hand, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but there was a gentle smile on his face, "Qing'er, don't be nervous, I just want to make a hairpin flower for you." As I spoke, a hand was strong and irresistibly put the hairpin between my temples.
Chen Qian's hand rubbed my hair and temples softly, like a doll, and smiled at me with satisfaction, "Look, how beautiful this flower is on the Qing'er hairpin, it is really beautiful and fragrant." ”
As soon as Chen Qian let go, I couldn't wait to pull off the flowers between my temples and throw them on the ground in disgust. I have always been a lover of flowers, and I don't easily despise flowers, except for the flowers given by Chen Qian.
"Rou Xiuyi, what are you doing here!" Pan Ronghua was unhappy for a long time when Chen Qian looked at me affectionately, and this time he got angry when he seized the opportunity, "What an honor it is for Your Majesty to make hairpins for you, not only do you not appreciate it, but you also threw Your Majesty's flowers on the ground, are you disrespectful to Your Majesty?" ”
Chen Qian didn't mean to blame me at all, but turned at Pan Ronghua with a straight face, "Pan Ronghua, I see that you are dazzled, Qing'er just accidentally touched the flower, how can it be said that she lost it?" ”
Chen Qian was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, and everyone present saw that the flowers were removed by me, but he insisted that I accidentally touched them, and the surface was intentional to maintain, but in fact it made those women even more dissatisfied with me.
Pan Ronghua was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chen Qian to defend me in such a way, and he suddenly became angry, "Your Majesty, Rou Xiuyi is disrespectful to you, this is a fact for all to see, you can't favor her." ”
"That's right." The arrogant Concubine Kong answered, glanced at me obliquely, with indescribable contempt and harshness, "Your Majesty promoted a palace maid to Xiuyi, she is not grateful to Dade, and she actually dared to lose His Majesty's flowers in public, isn't this deliberately slapping Your Majesty's face?" is so rude, he should really be pulled out and beaten to correct the palace rules. ”
This Concubine Kong, I just asked someone to beat me for twenty boards last time, and this time I am worried about it again?
