Chapter 294: Zhang Hui with a congested heart
The spring color in April is getting more and more beautiful, the warm sun is shining everywhere is filled with the breath of spring, Zhang Hui is lazily lying on the rattan recliner, and the body and body are covered with a special small cotton blanket comfortable and warm.
Zhang Huiyi sat on the rattan chair, picked up a cup of tea from the low table and took a sip, and a fragrance filled his mouth. Zhang Hui stretched out her white and tender slender fingers and took out a piece of Meiyaya's special dim sum from the white dish, and Zhang Hui felt full after a few pieces of fragrant tea.
Today's Zhang Hui has entrusted Li Bao's blessings, and here he is living the life of an official eunuch with clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth. In addition, her identity is the concubine of King Ji, so Hui Niang, who is in charge of the people/affairs of the palace, also sent her a maid to serve her daily life.
Zhang Hui is happy to have no worries about food and clothing, but since she came to the palace, Li Bao, the prince of Ji, seems to have completely forgotten her, and he has never thought of her since he brought her back.
However, Li Bao has been fighting outside for a while ago, and finally came back to Weizhou and was pestered by two foxes/spirits in the front yard, Zhang Hui was dissatisfied but couldn't do it, after all, the king was not familiar with her. She had to find a chance to meet the king, or she would have to spend a hard time here.
In addition, she also heard that she relied on King Ji very specially, and was not strict with his concubines, but relied on them very much and let them do what they liked.
Zhang Huiren is as her name suggests, Lan Xinhui can see the essence from a small matter, and she will never think that it is because Li Bao is a good person like Ling'er Xinniang and them.
From the time she stayed in the mansion, she also slowly realized the difference between King Ji and the men of this era. There is a kind of recognition and respect for women in his bones, and this quality is the natural dividing line between Li Bao and the ordinary.
Being a concubine can be regarded as an insult to a woman like Zhang Hui, but there is also a difference between being a concubine, as a prince's concubine, it is much better than the concubine of an ordinary official eunuch.
What's more, the prince he relies on is not an ordinary prince, he is the auspicious prince Li Bao who declares the world, and almost everyone knows it in the Tang Dynasty, and when such a man's concubine is naturally satisfactory to Zhang Hui. So she has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a good opportunity to perform well and be favored.
The time spent in King Ji's Mansion made Zhang Hui understand a lot of things, she is no longer the lady who was loved by her parents in the past, but a concubine who completely relies on herself, so she has to rise up.
Thinking about approaching Li Bao is not something that can be done in a day or two, she needs to be fully prepared, she must ensure that the king can be impressed when he notices her, and since the goal is set, Zhang Hui began to slowly diverge her thinking.
Smelling the faint fragrance in the small courtyard, as well as the spring color of the garden, and then looking at the rattan recliner under her, Zhang Hui couldn't help but think: This is a product of Weizhou Workshop, each piece is worth a lot, thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain: "It seems that there is no cheap thing made by the king."
However, things like rattan chairs are not her strong point, she is familiar with some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other beautiful skills, she did hear that the king is very good at calligraphy and painting, but the king needs to deal with too many things, she really does not have the confidence that her calligraphy and painting can impress Li Bao into the king's eyes and attract the king's attention.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hui couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, what should I do?
Not long after, a woman's voice came from a distance outside: "Mrs. Zhang is in the courtyard?" ”
When Zhang Hui heard this, she suddenly stood up from the recliner, didn't even pay attention to the small cotton blanket on her body, and let it fall to the ground. The maid behind her hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the cotton blanket, and said in a low voice: "Oh, the lady should be careful, the fabric of this cotton blanket is not easy to get, this piece is specially given to you by Aunt Hui Niang, if it is dirty, there is nowhere to go in the future." ”
Zhang Hui looked at this whirring maid, and felt disgusted in her heart, she hurriedly said to the sleeve girl: "Okay, don't worry about the cotton blanket, go and see who is coming?" Go ahead! ”
The sleeve girl listened to Zhang Hui's instructions, so she had to put the cotton blanket on the rattan chair first, and then walked slowly to the door. Looking at the slightly fat figure of the sleeve girl, Zhang Hui was angry for a while.
She no longer waited for someone to come from the door, she knew that someone was visiting at this time, and it must be her opportunity, so Zhang Hui hurriedly turned around and went back to the inner room.
"Oh, I didn't decorate it well after I got up today, if the king really sent someone to summon him to wait, it would be bad, the slave family has to hurry up and dress up, Sleeve Niang, Sleeve Niang, where did you go? Ao Sleeve Niang went outside to pick up people, everyone, alas, how good it would be if I could send another slave to the slave family, forget it, the slave family has to do it themselves. ”
Zhang Hui didn't wait long before someone came into the house. "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhang, the king sent someone to summon me, Mrs. Zhang will go with the slave family to see the king."
Zhang Huimei turned her eyes to Hui Niang, who came to summon her, and said: "Auntie, wait, the slave family has not yet dressed up, and besides, the king is calling, and the slave family must make up well before it is a gift for the summons." ”
Hui Niang hurriedly said: "What Mrs. Zhang said is right, it is natural to dress up well when you meet the king, but the king is forbidden, and the lady still has to hurry up!" ”
When Zhang Hui heard this, he stopped, looked at Hui Niang and asked, "Dare to ask Aunt Hui, why is the king so anxious?" ”
"The lady can ask the slave family this question, and the slave family is not clear, but the people around the king told the lady to hurry up and meet the king, and the slave family values the lady the most on weekdays, so as soon as I heard that the king summoned the lady, I immediately came to report the news, but I didn't think so much. Since the people around the king said that they wanted the lady to go earlier, the lady should delay less. ”
Zhang Hui listened to Hui Niang's answer, and was a little disappointed in her heart, so most of Fang Cai's joy was gone, and she didn't feel a little bored, she said angrily to the sleeve girl who was standing behind her: "How long do you have to stand stupidly, why don't you give me makeup?" ”
After being reprimanded, the sleeve lady reacted, and hurriedly came over to help Zhang Hui put on makeup, and the two girls were busy for a while before helping Zhang Hui put on a new makeup.
Hui Niang looked at the glorious Zhang Hui, and couldn't help but praise her heart, "Zhang Niangzi is really a natural beauty embryo, and the king will definitely remember it at first sight when she summons her mother." Alright, let's go! ”
After listening to Hui Niang's appreciation, Zhang Hui rarely showed a little smile, but the time was still too tight, alas, I hope to leave a good impression on the king.
When Zhang Hui followed Hui Niang to the front yard outside Li Bao's study, Li Bao was sorting out the catalog that needed to collect information in the room, after all, he was a person from the future, but Yun Fang and Zhang Hui were ancients and did not necessarily understand his requirements. So he plans to do some guiding documents and instructions first, so that it will be more convenient for the two beauties to work for him in the future.
When Zhang Hui stood outside the room and waited for the servant's report, she found that there was a woman standing outside Li Bao's room who was comparable in appearance and temperament, and her heart immediately tensed.
Who's this? Why is she here, is the king going to summon two beauties together today? But why is her makeup so elegant, and if you look at yourself, she is much brighter than her. Fortunately, I saw the opportunity early, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make a good impression on the king today.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hui was slightly complacent, but when she found that the woman was also constantly looking at herself, she immediately pulled down her corset, revealing a small half of her breasts like a white porcelain bottle, and then smiled as if demonstrating.
When the woman saw Zhang Hui doing this, she didn't pay attention to Zhang Hui anymore, Zhang Hui's heart was a little lost, and Hui Niang, who came with her, went to meet the woman. The two talked for a few words, and then Hui Niang turned around and informed her that she was going in with the woman to meet the king.
So Zhang Hui tidied it up, and then asked Hui Niang to help her check it and then walked straight to Li Baofang. When she arrived at the door, the woman was already waiting for her, and when she saw her arrival, the woman raised her hand and knocked on the door twice. Then came Li Bao's clear voice, "Come in!" ”
Zhang Hui took a deep breath and stepped into the room with the woman. The furnishings in the room are very simple, simple and elegant, and it can be seen that during the time when Prince Ji was out, this study has been renovated again, which is a little different from when Zhang Hui first entered the house.
There was nothing unusual about the woman, maybe she was in and out a lot, so she wasn't surprised. When Zhang Hui thought of this, he felt a little deflated in his heart, feeling that he had lost a city.
Li Bao was still writing at his desk, and the two girls were waiting with bated breath for Li Bao to finish. Zhang Hui looked up at Li Bao, he seemed to have grown up again, when he saw him before, he was still a little evil, but now it seems that Li Bao has more calm momentum.
It seems that the young prince in the past time is just a shadow, and now he is the real reliance on himself. Seeing that Li Baofen's writing increased his elegance, and the teacup beside Li Bao was gone, so she took the initiative to find the teapot, and then slowly came to Li Bao's side and helped him refill the hot water.
Li Bao noticed that someone was coming next to him, so he said without raising his head: "Okay, put it here, you go down first." ”
Zhang Hui was a little embarrassed for a while, so she hesitated: "King, the slave Zhang Hui came to meet him." ”
Li Bao looked up at Zhang Hui, was stunned for a moment, and smiled at Zhang Hui: "Are you the only one who has arrived?" ”
"King Qiqi, the slave family has also arrived, but when I came in, I found that the king was busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
Li Bao turned to the woman, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Oh, Yun Niangzi, why are you still so restrained, I didn't order my subordinates, you can come in when you arrive." Besides, you're already familiar with this place, why can't you let it go so much? ”
Yun Fang said: "The slave family doesn't dare to be presumptuous, and today is the king's summons, so let's talk about business first." ”
When Zhang Hui saw that the two of them couldn't remember that she was still there, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and she sighed in her heart: "What should I do?" ”
