Chapter 15: The War of Words (1)
It's the fifth watch, it's time for the emperor to get up early, and I endured the fatigue of my body and got up to serve him to dress and wash. When he saw that my face was not good, he said with pity, "Why do you get up and sleep for a while?" I shook my head and said with a smile: "How can there be a reason that the emperor is up and the concubines are still asleep, the emperor goes to the court, and the concubines will also go to the queen to say goodbye!" he nodded, his eyes showing appreciation.
I will no longer be as pampered and proud as I used to, and I will satisfy him, so that he will not easily believe even if others sue me in front of him in the future.
He put his arm around my waist, kissed me on the cheek, and said, "This time, your father has a meritorious role in pacifying King Ning's chaos, and you are so sensible, after the Turkic envoy enters Beijing, I will promote you to the position." ”
My heart jumped, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be in the position at this time. was about to shirk it, but saw him wave his hand and said, "That's it, I will go to the court." ”
I didn't want to say anything more, so I had to thank you and say, "Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty." ”
After sending the emperor away, I went to the Zichen Hall to greet the queen.
Wei Zi was a little surprised to see that I came so early, and said apologetically: "The queen mother just got up, and Ji Meiren came early." ”
I smiled and said, "That's right, please tell the queen mother, can the concubine serve the queen and dress up?"
Wei Zi went in and asked, and came out to invite me in, the queen was facing the dressing mirror, and said to me in the mirror: "You kid, you can't help but understand the rules, you served the emperor hard yesterday, why did you come over early?"
I stepped forward to help her tie her hair, and said with a smile: "As a harem concubine, the concubine should be the head of the emperor and the queen, and serving the emperor and the mother is what the concubine should do." What kind of bun do you want to comb today?"
The queen smiled: "Whatever you want, you can comb whatever bun you like." ”
I groaned for a while, and decided to comb the queen's Lingyun bun, fortunately, I used to like to ponder these, and before entering the palace, I asked my aunt, and they told me that the queen liked Lingyun bun. Combed his hair in a bun, and chose a red gold nine-tailed emerald feather bead phoenix hairpin with the queen's meaning. The feathers of the emerald feathers are inlaid with gems of different colors, which just fix the bun, and the east pearl hanging from the mouth of the phoenix in the front section hangs down to the forehead, which is very eye-catching. Three pairs of twisted wires were selected inlaid with crystal diamonds and gold hairpins on both sides of the bun.
The queen looked very satisfied, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not only sensible, but also very ingenious, the emperor has a palace concubine like you, and the palace is also pleased." ”
I replied with a smile: "It's good if the concubine doesn't dislike the concubine for being stupid, where is the concubine as good as the concubine praised." ”
She smiled and said to Yao Huang and Wei Zi: "Look at you, you serve the palace so many times on weekdays, and you don't have the comfort of the palace that Ji Meiren served this time." ”
Wei Zi smiled: "The slaves and maids are clumsy with hands and feet, and they are not as good as the beauties." The queen is going to send the slaves and maids? But the beauty can't come? Oh, I knew that the queen disliked us for the beauty, so she shouldn't have let the beauty in just now. ”
The queen scolded with a smile: "This palace is really used to you, even if you don't know the height of the sky, you make such a joke plainly." Sister, don't mind, look at the palace to let people tear the mouth of this hoof. ”
I knew that Wei Zi was the queen's confidant, otherwise how dare I make such a joke, so I smiled and said: "It can be seen that the queen's mother treats her subordinates very well on weekdays, and Aunt Wei Zi is also loyal to the queen's mother, if it is changed to the palace next to it, how can there be such a good atmosphere?"
The queen took my hand and sighed: "What you said really went to my heart, don't look at these girls who are not serious, whenever they encounter something, they are all thinking about the palace." The palace is old, and he only spends his days joking with a few of them on weekdays. ”
I hurriedly said: "The queen mother is the head of the six palaces, and the emperor always remembers the mother in his heart!"
She smiled, got up and said, "Don't talk about this, Wei Zi, go get the steamed cheese, I don't know if you like it or not, let's eat it and go over." ”
"It is said that the crisp cheese in the Niangniang Palace is a must, but I didn't expect that today's concubines will be blessed. ”
She patted my hand and smiled, "If you like it." ”
I like sweets, and when the queen saw that I was so fragrant, she asked Wei Zi to wrap the rest and bring it back to me later.
When I asked for peace, Concubine He saw the queen's hairstyle and boasted: "The queen's hair is combed in a particularly beautiful bun today, is it a new comb aunt?"
The queen smiled a little proudly: "Concubine He's eyes are Lisuo, this is not combed by the aunt, it is Ji Meiren, this child is really sensible, it was hard to serve the emperor last night, and I came to the palace early this morning to ask for peace, the palace just got up and asked her to wait, let her go in and sit, she insisted on serving the palace." Look, Hongu also thinks it's very beautiful. She ran her hand over her bun and showed it to everyone.
Everyone praised them frequently, but Concubine Zheng sneered: "Good concubine, I don't know how to do some serious things, I want to learn the kung fu of those inferior servants!
As soon as she said this, the queen and the concubine both changed their faces, the queen was used to patience, and the concubine was about to stab her a few words, but I didn't want the concubine to have another conflict with her because of me. Ying Ying stood up and bowed, and said: "As a concubine, the concubine naturally can't forget the virtue of the concubine, serving the emperor and the queen is what a concubine should do." The concubine Niangniang is in a high position and disdains it, and the concubine is in a small position, but she can't help it. ”
Concubine Zheng naturally understood the meaning of my words, I said that I was soft-spoken, but in fact, she didn't take the queen in her eyes because she was a concubine. When she heard this, she was furious, pointed at me and said sharply: "The emperor has only spoiled you for one day, and he will let you be so frivolous! If you spoil you for a few more days in the future, don't you want to fly to the sky! Dare to talk to this palace like this, do you still have this palace in your eyes!"
I bowed my head and knelt down: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare?" Concubine Zheng sneered again and again, "This palace sees that you have climbed high branches and flies, what else is there to dare!"
I didn't say a word, and the queen shouted: "Concubine Zheng! As a dignified concubine, what do you have to do with your new sister!
Concubine Zheng probably didn't expect the queen to reprimand her like this, she held back her anger in her heart, glared at me fiercely, and said to the queen: "The concubine is unwell, so she will retire first!" Without waiting for the queen to nod, she went out in a daze.
The queen also said: "The palace is also a little uncomfortable, you all retreat!"
I withdrew silently, walked with the concubine and me, and said, "I didn't expect the queen to be a little breathless for you today." ”
I said, "The queen is kind and will not let me be bullied." ”
Actually, after understanding the queen in my previous life, how could she stand up for me, just to make Zheng Guifei hate me even more! Zheng Guifei is inconvenient to conflict with the queen, but she will take care of me ruthlessly! And I am the emperor's new favorite, and I can't stand the oppression of the concubine, so I will deal with it. No matter what happened to me and Concubine Zheng, the queen sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the tiger fight across the mountain!
