Chapter 189: Hot Stove
Emperor Xuanhe was getting older and was not keen on women. When you enter the harem, you will either enter the Jiaofang Palace to visit Queen Pei, or you will go to the Zhongcui Palace to stay overnight. The number of times a young concubine was summoned was only a handful.
Luo Guiren surrendered to Queen Pei and got the opportunity to serve in bed, so it was natural for him to come to thank him.
As for Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren, she looked at her with envy, and she came here today.
Queen Pei had a rare humor: "This palace has always been a cold stove, but now it has become a hot stove." ”
The palace maid who was waiting on the side pursed her lips and smiled.
Cheng Jinrong also laughed.
Queen Pei can say these things in such a relaxed tone, which shows that she has let go of the burden in her heart.
Empress Pei thought for a moment and ordered: "Let Luo Guiren enter the palace and wait, and see her in the palace later." Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren disappeared and sent them back. ”
The first person to come to Cheng was Luo Guiren, who wanted to give more sweetness and raise a few more points. The young concubine, who was a few steps late, was not so easy to heat the stove.
A smile flashed in Cheng Jinrong's eyes.
Empress Pei is not stupid. In the past, she didn't want to do anything and gave in to everything. Now, Empress Pei finally looks like a real queen of the middle palace.
With a little movement of your wrist and a little favor, you can muddy the muddy waters of the harem.
……
Luo Guiren, Zhao Guiren, and Xu Meiren were all waiting outside the hall.
Luo Guiren's face today is particularly ruddy and delicate, and Zhao Guiren's eyes are hot and hateful. However, the mouth is very affectionate, and she is a sister Luo.
Luo Guiren and Zhao Guiren entered the palace together, and they were the two prominent young concubines, and they were opponents of each other. Today, Zhao Guiren was pressed, and Luo Guiren was comfortable and happy in his heart.
Xu Meiren on the side is twenty years old this year, older than the two of them. Entering the palace was also three years earlier than Zhao Guiren and Luo Guiren.
Xu Meisheng was fair-skinned and beautiful, and she was the same type of beauty as Emperor Zheng's concubine, and she was much younger than Emperor Zheng's concubine.
Emperor Zheng is the most jealous, and she doesn't allow Xu Meiren to come out at all. During the palace banquet, Xu Meiren's location is always the most remote corner.
Xu Meiren's days in the palace can be imagined, and she is sad in her heart, so she doesn't need to go into detail. Seeing that Luo Guiren flattered Queen Pei and was able to get close to the Son of Heaven, Xu Meiren immediately made up her mind and came to heat the stove as well.
It's a pity that this hot stove is not something they can burn if they want to.
Xiang Lan came over and passed on the message of Queen Pei: "The queen has an order, please invite Luo Guiren to enter the palace and wait." Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren will come to say goodbye another day. ”
Luo Guiren's eyes flashed with joy.
Zhao Guiren Xu Meiren was annoyed and disappointed in her heart, and she didn't dare to show half a point, so she respectfully thanked her for her grace, and then withdrew from the Jiaofang Palace.
Zhao Guiren was young and vigorous, and he was not angry in his heart, and whispered to Xu Meiren: "Look at Luo Guiren, one by one, he is trying to please the queen." That villain's face is really ugly and contemptible. ”
Xu Meiren sighed lightly: "Being able to relieve the worries and boredom of the mother is also the blessing of Sister Luo." It's you and I, who only came to say hello today, so it's no wonder that my mother refuses to see us. ”
Zhao Guiren: "......"
Zhao Guiren was so close that he didn't choke on a mouthful of blood.
Xu Meiren said softly again: "I'll come to Jiaofang Hall tomorrow to ask for peace, Sister Zhao wants to come together?" ”
Come! Of course it will come!
Stuffed in Jingya Palace all day long, I'm so idle that I'm going to grow hair. You can't watch Luo Guiren ascend to the sky in one step.
Zhao Guiren settled down and said affectionately: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to call Sister Xu." But in my heart I was despised.
It's been five years since she entered the palace, and she's still just a beauty. Even if the queen is willing to see her, the emperor can't remember who she is.
The contempt in Zhao Guiren's eyes, Xu Meiren saw it clearly, and she didn't feel good in her heart, so she endured it silently.
……
In the Jiaofang Palace, Luo Guiren knelt and bowed, showing his loyalty sincerely.
“…… The meaning of the queen's mother's carrying, the concubine understands it both physically and mentally. From today on, the concubine must be the head of the mother, and she is willing to listen to the mother's dispatch. ”
Empress Pei smiled faintly: "Luo Guiren is serious. This palace has been ill for many years, and this sick body has no face to serve the emperor. Luo Guiren served the emperor well, and he also shared his worries for the palace. Come to the people, this year's new tribute to the Shu brocade, reward Luo nobles six horses. ”
Luo Guiren thanked him again and again: "The concubine has thanked her for her grace." Niangniang is sent, and the concubine is not hesitant to go to the soup. ”
The harem concubines are all listed. But every year's tribute is sent to the Jiaofang Palace, and then to the Zhongcui Palace. When it was their turn, there was not much left. is not favored like Xu Meiren, and she can't even see it.
Queen Pei was willing to carry her, and the reward was extremely rich, obviously with the intention of lifting her. She is not a fool, of course she has to follow the good intentions of the queen.
Since this day, Luo Guiren has come to the Jiaofang Palace every day to ask for peace, rain or shine.
Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren also come every day. However, Queen Pei only saw Luo Guiren, but not the two of them.
No matter how arrogant Zhao Guiren was, he was also rubbed into fear. It's just that it's all here, and there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway. Otherwise, not only will it fail to please, but it will fall into the eyes of Queen Pei.
Xu Meiren is not favored, she is never eye-catching in the harem, and she sits on a cold bench everywhere. Therefore, Xu Meiren was very calm.
Every morning, Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren came to wait outside the Jiaofang Palace. Wait for half a day, and then go back in disgrace. It's almost a harem joke.
Queen Pei hung them for a few days, and on the fifth day, she ordered them to come in and kowtow, but there was no reward.
This is also Cheng Jinrong's private remark: "Emperor Zheng Guifei has been in the harem for many years, and the concubines in the palace have to look at Emperor Zheng's face and speak and act. Luo Guiren is now sincere to Niangniang, and has gained real benefits, and his heart will be towards Niangniang in the future. ”
"As for Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren, there will also be something available in the future. If Niangniang wants to suppress Emperor Zheng's concubines, it doesn't hurt to raise a few more young concubines. ”
"It's just that there has to be a strategy for this lift. can't raise their hearts, and bite the mother in turn. ”
"First of all, we have to let Luo Guiren and Zhao Guiren and Xu Meiren fight first. They are scrambling to show their goodwill, fighting each other, not with one heart. Niang Niang can use them with confidence. ”
After hearing this, Empress Pei couldn't help but smile and sighed: "You are still young, how can you understand so much?" It's this palace, at this age, I don't know where I lived. These years have been muddy, like the walking dead. Now I have to learn from scratch how to be a queen. ”
Queen Pei's heart knot has been resolved, and occasionally mentions the past, but the pain is still there, but more is tenacity.
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "No matter when, it's not too late." ”
Yes, it's not too late to wake up at this time!
She is the "queen", with two princes and a princess, and Emperor Xuanhe treats her with respect. This is a hand that you will never lose if you play it well.
A determined glint flashed in Empress Pei's eyes.
