Chapter 179: First Meeting
Empress Pei slept for two hours and woke up with her eyes open.
A familiar smile came into view: "Niangniang woke up, how do you feel now?" ”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Cheng Jinrong, and I felt too good to be better. A soft smile appeared in Queen Pei's eyes: "I was quite tired before, but now I feel much better." ”
Cheng Jinrong carefully looked at Queen Pei's face, and saw that she was in good spirits and her face was much rudder, so she was relieved.
Serving trivial things such as dressing and grooming, there is its own woad indigo.
Cheng Jinrong stood aside with a smile.
Empress Pei asked casually, "Has the palace banquet been dispersed?" ”
Xianglan replied: "It was dispersed an hour ago, and the imperial concubine asked the ladies to be sent out of the palace one by one, and the main hall was also cleaned up. ”
Empress Pei snorted: "Pass on the palace message, Emperor Zheng's concubine is thoughtful and careful, and the palace has a generous reward!" ”
Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded.
Cheng Jinrong's smile deepened.
Empress Pei's move will definitely make Emperor Zheng, who was arrogant and didn't put the middle palace in her eyes, so angry that she vomited blood.
No way, the name is not right. No matter how big the imperial concubine is, she can't be as big as the queen. If the queen wants a reward, the imperial concubine must happily accept the reward!
Empress Pei blinked at Cheng Jinrong, with a hint of smugness in her eyes, "Look at how I clean her up".
Cheng Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled.
After dressing up neatly, a palace maid came to report: "Queen Qiyu, His Royal Highness the Prince of Tatar is asking to see her outside, saying that she wants to present a birthday gift for her mother." ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled.
Empress Pei also frowned slightly.
In Cheng Jinrong's dream, this Tatar prince is scheming and cunning like a fox. Killed countless Great Chu soldiers and people. But this dream can't be talked about with anyone.
No matter how much she hated this person, she had to press it down for the time being.
"Please wait in the palace," Empress Pei said lightly: "The palace will be here in a moment." ”
……
Cheng Jinrong helped Queen Pei and walked forward slowly.
Qing Dai Shead Lan was on the other side of Queen Pei, and there were more than ten palace maids accompanying her.
Being in the palace does have many inconveniences. Not to mention anything else, Queen Pei is always served by her side. Even when he fell asleep, there were palace maids guarding him.
Cheng Jinrong is by Queen Pei's side every day, and all his thoughts are used to take care of Queen Pei's body. In fact, there are very few opportunities for mother and daughter to talk alone in private.
At this moment, Empress Pei actually didn't want Cheng Jinrong and the Tatar prince to meet. It's just that in front of all the palace maids, these words can't be spoken, so as not to make people suspicious.
Cheng Jinrong didn't see Queen Pei's intentions, but he followed Queen Pei silently and firmly.
She is in the palace, and sooner or later she will meet with Gathlan. It doesn't make a difference later or earlier.
Stepping into the inner hall, a tall and straight young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
The young man's gaze swept over the girl beside Empress Pei, and interest flashed in his eyes.
This girl is Cheng Jinrong who makes Princess Shouning angry! It was far away, and it was impossible to see the face clearly for a while, but the green medical officer's uniform was particularly clear.
The young man looked at the girl's face quietly, and then, his eyes lit up.
The beauties of the Tatar tribes, enthusiastic and bold, and men with the right eyes, the spring breeze was once commonplace. At the age of thirteen, he knew about men and women, and was very familiar with the affairs of men and women.
Da Chu girl, reserved and elegant, with fair skin. It is very different from the dark-skinned and slightly rough Tatar beauty.
Cheng Jinrong in front of him is undoubtedly the most beautiful Da Chu girl he has ever seen.
The cheeks are as white as jade, the green silk is like ink, and the lips are red as dan. The most beautiful thing is the pair of black eyes. He was looking at her, and she was looking at him too, her dark eyes rippling like the wind, glowing with a complicated light.
……
In Yuan Silan's opinion, this is the first time they have met.
For Cheng Jinrong, it was only a few months apart...... The young man in front of her, a few years younger than the Tatar prince she remembered, was smiling and seemed gentle and harmless.
Only she knew how ruthless and ruthless this seemingly gentle young man was.
Cheng Jinrong settled down and helped Queen Pei to take a seat.
"Silan has seen her uncle," Yuan Silan bowed: "Today is my uncle's birthday." Silan also prepared a birthday gift for her uncle, although the gift was light, it was a piece of Silan's heart. Please smile at your aunt! ”
After speaking, the waiter presented the birthday gift.
It turned out to be a complete white tiger skin.
The white tiger is extremely fierce and very rare, and it is not easy to hunt the white tiger. The tiger skin was so intact that there wasn't even a single damage to the fur.
Empress Pei was a little surprised, and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Silan: "Why is this tiger skin so complete?" ”
Yuan Silan raised her eyebrows and smiled, and was about to answer, when a clear and pleasant girl's voice sounded: "The tiger hunter shot a poisonous arrow into the eyes of the white tiger." The white tiger was injured in both eyes, which was not fatal, but died of poison. In this way, a whole tiger skin can be peeled alive without any damage. ”
Empress Pei suddenly realized: "I see. Jinrong, how do you know? ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "A little thing, just guess." ”
Yuan Silan: "......"
No wonder Princess Shouning mentioned Cheng Jinrong, she was that ugly look of jealousy.
This Medical Officer Cheng is indeed extraordinary!
Princess Shouning is also a rare beauty, with a noble background and bright and moving. It's just that people are more popular than people. Compared with the intelligent and tenacious Cheng Jinrong, Princess Shouning suddenly became gloomy.
Yuan Silan's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I guessed right, this tiger skin was indeed hunted like this." ”
Then, Gong Sheng said to Empress Pei: "My mother has always been weak and cold, and the Tatars live in tents, and in winter, the weather is cold, and they have to rely on fur to protect them from the cold. I hunted two tigers in this way, and one tiger skin was presented to my mother. In addition, I specially brought this one to Da Chu. ”
"Today, I present this tiger skin to my aunt. I hope that my aunt and mother are in good health. ”
Empress Pei was in a somewhat complicated mood, and said lightly: "You have a piece of your mind, and this palace accepts it." ”
If it weren't for Cheng Jinrong telling Yuan Silan's true face, I'm afraid she would have been confused by Yuan Silan's polite and gentle appearance.
Woad Lan stepped forward and took the tiger skin from the hand of the attendant.
Queen Pei glanced at it casually, but did not show any joy, and ordered Xianglan to put the tiger skin into the warehouse.
Whether Yuan Silan was disappointed in her heart, no one knows. There was a calm smile on his face: "Silan is bothered, so I will retire." Come back another day to say hello to my aunt. ”
Empress Pei nodded slightly and instructed Qing Dai: "You send a gift to the prince on behalf of the palace." ”
Yuan Silan shouted affectionately from her aunt. It's a pity that she doesn't have the mood to be vain and wronged.
Yuan Silan said goodbye, and before leaving, she glanced at Cheng Jinrong as if intentionally or unintentionally.
