Rising Twenty-One

Mei Niang raised her head, and Wen Niang immediately crossed her hands and asked:

"I don't know what kind of hairstyle the mother wants to make?"

Mei Niang picked her eyes and said with a faint smile:

"Today is the gift of sealing the concubine, so it is naturally better to be more stable......

Just look at the fairy bun! ”

Wen Niang responded, and immediately summoned the little maids with makeup and hair to come forward.

I saw six little maids holding various kinds of hair combs, and twelve little maids each holding a half-human-high, heavy rosewood hair ornament box in each hand, and spread out the things around Mei Niang one by one.

But after a while, this half of the dormitory was filled with all kinds of colors, textures, and all of them were delicate and rare hairpins, ornaments and other things.

In the whole hall, the pearls and treasures are immediately bright, and the brilliant gems and fires of all kinds are circulating and condensing under the candle flame, straight like a cloud of clouds, illuminating the little attendants who stand on the side of the treasure ornaments are quite difficult to open their eyes, and they are more lined with the Mei Niang who sits indifferently in it and the three of them shuttle back and forth between the boxes containing thousands of treasures and hair ornaments, sometimes bending down, and the slender fingertips gently take the required palace ethereals such as immortals and saints, so beautiful that people dare not look directly.

Wangxian bun is also a relatively simple comb bun, but the ornament is more troublesome to choose - today is the ceremony of sealing the concubine, so it can not be used too plain, but Wangxian bun is simple, if you use some too luxurious jewelry, it seems too ostentatious and tacky.

It is necessary to be stable and generous, but also full of bearing and out of the dust - this is Mei Niang's hope, and it is also the purpose of Wen Niang and the Yu sisters.

After a while, Wen Niang, who was responsible for picking the most important and conspicuous top ornament, finally picked a golden headband with wings.

After handing it over to Mei Niang, she also nodded, and then said:

"This phoenix hoop is really good, and the fire pearls on it (the dragon ball that caused a sensation a few days ago, the Merlot Stone) are also very beautiful.

It's just that with it, the trim can't be too flashy, and it's not too big. ”

Wen Niang understands, and the Yu sisters understand.

After a while, he picked a few more simple trims, all of which belonged to pearls and crystals, and then put them together and handed them over to Mei Niang.

After Mei Niang nodded, she began to officially put on makeup.

……

More than halfway through the time.

The hair has been put on makeup, and the next step is to get dressed.

Mei Niang looked at the few clothes they had picked up, but they all shook their heads and said:

"No, no. It's too heavy. ”

Wen Niang on one side said urgently:

"But these are all picked out by the Lord himself!"

"But these clothes are all red."

Mei Niang glanced at her, reached out and gently slid over the fabrics:

"It's red, and in ancient times, only a wife could live in it.

At the moment, I am still a concubine, and it is really unreasonable to wear such colors. ”

When Wen Niang heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she just bit her lower lip and looked at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang looked at her and said with a faint smile:

"But you don't have to worry too much, since I said that I should dress decently, naturally I won't be so casual......"

She turned around, looked left and right, and said:

"If not, that's it!"

Everyone followed her hand to look over, but it was a begonia red plain bottom gold and green silk phoenix peony pattern wide sleeves, Wen Niang was overjoyed, and immediately said:

"Good!

But good!

This dress couldn't be better! ”

……

Four quarters of the hour.

The sound of the sealing chime began.

Immediately, the main entrance of the Lizheng Palace, for the first time in more than ten years, slowly opened to welcome its new hostess.

Red carpet fragrant flowers, music and singing.

In the light white snow drifting in the sky, a woman who was as fierce as a red flower in the snow walked slowly, step by step, towards Li Zhi standing on the platform of the Lizheng Palace.

The eyebrows are dotted with golden begonias, and the lips are dyed with rouge.

The skin is whiter and more deceitful, and the eyes are darker than the night.

Everyone who saw her couldn't help but marvel:

God seems to favor this woman extraordinarily, more than ten years, all kinds of tribulations......

Not only did she not lose the slightest trace of beauty, but she looked brighter and more beautiful than when she first entered the palace more than ten years ago.

If she was just budding in the past, then now she has quietly unfolded three or two petals of herself, slightly shy to reveal a little bit of beautiful stamen.

Its beauty, its charm, its beauty, its preciousness......

It's hard to describe in words.

Li Zhi proudly looked at the woman who was walking towards him step by step, his eyes were proud and happy:

Yes, this is the woman of his Li Zhi.

This is the best woman in the world.

He ...... after all

Still got her.

She has finally become the woman he rightfully is.

She's his.

From now on, it will always belong to him alone......

Slowly, the corners of his mouth hooked.

At the same time.

Wanchun Palace.

Queen Wang listened to the faint sound of the silk bamboo bell chime coming from the wall, and couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart for a while.

She turned around, looked at a begonia outside the hall, and said lightly:

"Hasn't anyone from the Lord come yet?"

Hongxuan on one side shook her head and said softly:

"I'm afraid I won't come......

The slave maid heard that not only in our Wanchun Palace, but also in other halls, they were not invited in.

It is said that it is because the will of the first emperor is still there, and the will of the Lord cannot be withdrawn without saying that it is withdrawn......"

Queen Wang smiled faintly:

"What you want to do, why bother?

It's just that I don't want others to watch and let these people say something that needs to be said......

Let him go.

What about Zhong'er? ”

She walked back to the inner sanctum, step by step, slowly, and asked in a sullen tone.

Hongxuan shook her head, and said lightly after a while:

"Mother, have you forgotten?

Today, I should be in the Hongwen Museum, following the masters to discuss the scriptures and politics! ”

Queen Wang frowned, but said as if she had explained herself:

"Good......

It is good to discuss the scriptures and discuss politics......

If not, how can he be a supreme monarch in the future and rule the world?

Good ......"

For a while, she felt empty in her heart, as if the position of her chest had been dug up by someone, and there was nothing.

She shook her head, and only after a while did she say softly:

"Concubine Xiao Shu, what's going on?"

Hongxuan shook her head and said carefully:

"Since yesterday, Concubine Xiao Shu has said that she is sick and does not go to court (concubines and concubines are courteous, and they must greet the queen every day, this etiquette has been around since the Han Dynasty), and the same is true today.

Is......

There are no rules! ”

Queen Wang smiled faintly and said:

"It's not a good time.

It's not a good time......

If she comes, this palace still doesn't know how to face her, and I don't know what to say to force her to see this matter clearly!

Now that she is so angry, she refuses to come to see the palace......

Presumably, she will spend more time planning how to deal with Wu Meiniang. ”

When Hongxuan heard this, she just nodded silently, and said:

"Then mother, let's not do it?

Concubine Xiao Shufei has always been more than successful and more than defeated......

Could it be that she is still going to lose this time? ”

Queen Wang shook her head and said lightly:

"It's not that she's too weak, it's that Wu Meiniang is too strong.

Think about it, whether it is Bengong or Concubine Xiao Shu, everything in terms of family lineage and background is everything......

Which one is weaker than her?

Even the ability to plan and establish things, Bengong, Concubine Xiao Shu, and Wu Meiniang are really comparable......

It's just a pity that this Wu Meiniang is not a good person, and she acts as a person, and she is often unexpected, and she is extremely cunning......

That's why Concubine Xiao Shufei will be defeated again and again.

In all kinds of matters back then, when this Wu Meiniang had not yet entered the palace, she was also successful in everything!

Have you ever wondered? ”

Queen Wang said something so that she didn't know how to answer, and only said after a while:

"Then the lady still counts on her?"

"She is the only one who can be counted on at the moment.

That Cui Shi seems to be a noble woman from everyone's background, but in fact she is a chicken belly, and her behavior is better than Wu Meiniang, and she is a villain with a mouse eye.

So she can't be relied on.

If we rely on her today, we will not say it tomorrow, and she will take the handle and threaten us.

Just take a look at Wu Meiniang.

Didn't the two of them also have the same hatred before?

Now that Wu Meiniang is in power, she doesn't stand on our side like this, so that we and Wu Meiniang will lose both, and she will benefit from it?

Such a woman is very easy to deal with, but it is extremely difficult to deal with, so it is better not to use it.

And not to mention Concubine Lu Xian, the stupidest woman in this palace is she-

According to the opinion of this palace, if it weren't for the fact that the brothers in her family were too strong, I was afraid that the Lord would have degraded her to the bottom.

There are other concubines, which one of them doesn't live with their own careful thoughts?

Who can be as imposing as Concubine Xiao and willing to cooperate with her old enemy?

So in terms of it, it's not that we can only choose her, but from the beginning, we didn't have a choice.

The only one who can join forces with this palace to overthrow Wu Meiniang is her, and only her. ”

Hongxuan was dumbfounded, and only after a while did she say softly:

"What does that mean......

Want to meet Concubine Xiao? ”

The queen raised her eyes to look at her, but suddenly laughed:

"Why did Hongu go to see her?

She is bound to come today......

On such a cold day, why should this palace bother so much? ”

Red Silk was stunned.

……

It's night.

Wanchun Palace.

As the queen expected, Concubine Xiao Shu came early.

In the side hall, two women sat facing each other, their faces full of unwillingness and resentment.

It's just that Queen Wang tried her best to keep such emotions in her eyes, but Concubine Xiao Shufei was already distorted with hatred and was not human.

"Sister just watching that slut so prosperous?

Does my sister know what the gift of sealing the concubine was given when His Majesty sealed her concubine position today?

It was a pair of female Hua Jin hairpins of Empress Wende that year!!!!

That kind of thing, my sister has been in the palace for all these years, Mo said that she has seen it, and she has never even heard of it!!!!

But His Majesty took it out so easily and gave it to her......

Sister! ”

Under Queen Wang's plain bottom and green flowing flowers, a pair of slender jade hands shook and shook tightly, but she still smiled faintly on her face:

"It's not unusual......

She was already being favored and gave birth to a son, and it is not surprising that His Majesty would be so happy.

What's more, a pair of children are just hairpins, if my sister likes it, my sister will find a few for you another day. ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei said hurriedly:

"If it's just a pair of ordinary golden hairpins, my sister will never be eye-catching!

But the pair of golden hairpins were the last two pieces of a set of ornaments that the first emperor found when the first queen was still the princess of Qin!

This thing is a set of three pieces, a pendant with a double hairpin, the pendant entered the palace as early as when this slut was three years old, and he was rewarded because he would stammer people and pretend to be stupid and obedient from the queen first.

Now that this pair is given, isn't it clearly for the world to know, this Wu Meiniang is very much loved by the first queen's mother? !

Before that, we worked hard to spread rumors in the palace and teach everyone to talk about her unbearable origin......

Isn't all this hard work in vain? ”
