Chapter 52: Concubine Luan
The bathhouse of Funing Palace was filled with a layer of mist, a graceful beautiful woman slowly got up, although there was a fog cover, she could still see her beautiful lines, she stood still, let the palace maid wipe off the water droplets all over her body, and then lazily put on a loose bathrobe.
"Concubine Luan." The voice of a eunuch sounded outside the door, "The fourth prince He Huaixin asks to see him." ”
Hearing the words "He Huaixin", the corners of the beautiful woman's mouth hooked up a slight smile, and said, "Let him wait for me in the inner hall." ”
The eunuch respectfully accepted the order and left.
This beautiful woman is Luan Guifei, the concubine who is now the most favored by He Muhan, in the Jinyang Palace, Funing Palace is also the largest palace for the emperor's women to live in addition to the Dening Palace where the queen is located.
The living room alone has three halls, the inner, the middle and the outside, and the inner hall is the place where the reception is arranged only when the closest people come.
Luan Guifei gave birth to twin sons when she was favored, the fourth prince He Huaixin, the fifth prince He Huaijin, especially He Huaixin, not only is he an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but also knows how to please people, so when she heard that He Huaixin was coming today, Luan Guifei's face had a little more smile.
Seeing that Concubine Luan was in a good mood today, the palace maid who served gently helped Concubine Luan buckle her bathrobe and said flatteringly, "Since I entered the palace, Niangniang's figure has been maintained well, oh, no, it should be getting better and better, and the people in the palace say that the emperor is from hair to toes." No, the Lan Kingdom in the east paid tribute to a batch of seafood, and the emperor immediately picked some good ones and sent them over. ”
Luan Guifei pouted and said, "I don't eat any seafood, it's easy to get acne and it's ugly." After speaking, he hurried to see He Huaixin.
He Huaixin is standing quietly at the moment, he can be said to exercise the hardest among the princes, full chest muscles, flat and powerful lower abdomen, the muscle lines of the whole body are very obvious, at this time, a tight robe, outlining the majestic figure, thin chin, makes him look more resolute.
When the young palace maids of Funing Palace heard that He Huaixin was coming, many of them quietly hid outside the curtain to peek, such a situation, He Huaixin was used to it, he didn't make a sound to disturb, but occasionally handed over a look.
Some palace maids suddenly noticed He Huaixin's scorching gaze, their hearts fluttered, and their faces turned crimson with shame.
At this time, Luan Guifei happened to come over, and on the surface she reprimanded a few words, but in fact, she was still very happy in her heart, his son has always been her pride, and seeing that her son is so popular, her face also shines.
Although Concubine Luan is now favored, she is like a mirror in her heart, knowing that she will always have an aging day, and new beauties are emerging in an endless stream, only by relying on this son, find a way to help him ascend to the throne, and as the queen mother, she has not lived in vain in this life.
Therefore, when she saw her son, a smile naturally appeared on her face, and she said, "My good son is here... Those palace maids are stupid, they only peeked here, and they didn't even give them a cup of tea, and I have to teach them a good lesson when I go back. ”
He Huaixin said with a smile, "Mother, my son doesn't want it, don't be wrong." ”
Luan Guifei pretended to be angry and said, "You, you are sweet-mouthed, you are here, I don't know how many girls here can't sleep at night." ”
He Huaixin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mother, don't make trouble, I'm here today for business." He Huaixin paused and said, "My son has already gotten the news, and he will go to the Qianran Underground Palace tomorrow." ”
Hearing this news, the smile on Luan Guifei's face disappeared, and she was slightly distracted, and said, "So fast?" ”
He Huaixin nodded, "My mother told me before that I must come to my mother before going to the Qianran Underground Palace......"
Luan Guifei looked around and said, "Everyone let me out!" ”
Her voice was raised a little, not angry.
Those eavesdropping palace maids all left in a huff, even if they were unwilling, but Concubine Luan had an order, and they didn't dare to disobey.
It wasn't until the heavy door of the inner hall slowly closed that Luan Guifei's eyes were a little confused.
He Huaixin had never seen his mother with such an expression, and was slightly surprised.
"Waixin... You know that my mother is from the Canglang Department, right? Luan Guifei's somewhat sad voice came.
He Huaixin was stunned for a moment, looked up at his mother's face, and was about to speak, when he listened to Luan Guifei continue to preach.
"There is an important activity of the court power scheme called 'harmony', once 'harmony', the originally hostile relationship becomes relatives, and it can often be exchanged for a period of peace. But whether it can be 'kissed' is not something that we women can call the shots, just like those princesses in Jinyang, as soon as they heard that they were going to be arranged to be 'kissed', they cried darkly, and there were all threats of hanging themselves, but in the end, how many of them succeeded? ”
He Huaixin didn't speak at this time, he rarely heard his mother say so many things at once, and knew that what his mother said "and relatives" must be related to her life experience, for so many years, He Huaixin only knew that his mother was from the Canglang Department, but once he asked for some details, Luan Guifei always refused to tell him. And the strange thing is that since He Huaixin remembers, he has never seen his mother have contact with the people of the Canglang Ministry, and even this time the prince and princess of the Canglang Ministry came to Jinyang. It is said that this is her mother's mother's family, and she should be enthusiastic, but He Huaixin can see that her mother is deliberately avoiding it.
This makes me not familiar with the prince and princess. He Huaixin has a longer vision, knowing that if he wants to ascend to the position of a great treasure, in addition to internal forces, external support is even more crucial, and He Huaixin is still a little worried about this.
Luan Guifei saw He Huaixin bow his head and ponder, and also knew that he had a lot of questions, but he didn't say it, and immediately said slowly, "But Niang is different, when I was still in Canglang, I heard of you Jinyang, and knew that this is the most powerful country in the world, the land is larger than ours, and the population is more than ours, you know..." And you Jinyang, but the climate is warm and humid, there are fruits everywhere, and other materials are far from being comparable to Canglang. ”
When He Huaixin heard this, he thoughtfully peeled a sweet orange, carefully removed the stems on it, and then handed it over.
Luan Guifei took it and ate it in two bites, "At that time, my mother thought, if one day, I can come to your Jinyang, how good it would be." ”
"So my mother came over and realized her childhood dream?" He Huaixin asked tentatively.
"Nope." Luan Guifei shook her head, "Actually, it's not my turn, the reason why my mother was able to come over was because I made a scheming, and it was because of this incident that I almost broke with the people of the Canglang Tribe." ”
