Chapter 187: Surrender
Luo Guiren?
Empress Pei frowned slightly.
Emperor Xuanhe was not a person who coveted beauty. However, as the Son of Heaven, the harem is indispensable for all kinds of beauties. Only concubines who have princesses and princesses are eligible to be concubines. The rest of the favored young concubines are mostly nobles and beauties, and Queen Pei hardly pays attention to them on weekdays.
The young beauties who won the favor of Emperor Xuanhe, except for the eighteen-year-old Zhao Guiren, are the seventeen-year-old Luo Guiren.
In addition to their beauty, more importantly, they are all young, and they are all beauties who were selected into the palace two years ago.
Zhao Guiren is delicate and good at singing, and Luo Guiren is charming and good at dancing.
Empress Pei obviously didn't want to see any Luo Guiren, and was about to open her mouth to send her away, when Cheng Jinrong, who was beside her, suddenly laughed softly: "Weichen has the courage to speak. Luo Guiren specially came to ask for peace, why didn't Niangniang see him? ”
Among the young beauties, only Zhao Guiren and Luo Guiren were promoted to the position of nobles, which shows that both of them have some ability.
Luo Guiren took the initiative to show goodwill, why not take it for his own use?
Empress Pei heard the meaning of Cheng Jinrong's words, was silent for a moment, and changed her mind: "Xuanluo nobles are coming." ”
The palace maid complied.
A moment later, a young and charming beauty appeared outside the pavilion and respectfully saluted: "Concubine Luo, please say hello to the queen." ”
Cheng Jinrong saw Luo Guiren for the first time, and quickly took a look.
Luo Guiren was only seventeen years old, born with white skin and red lips, and a charming appearance. The figure is slender, the posture is light, and the waist is slender, like a willow in the wind.
Empress Pei said lightly: "Flatten!" ”
Luo Guiren respectfully thanked him and got up.
Queen Pei said again: "Sit." ”
Luo Guiren was overjoyed, busy and grateful: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”
……
Empress Pei has been silent for many years, like a shadow in the harem, and was pressed by Emperor Zheng's concubine. The concubines in the harem are respectful to Empress Pei on the surface, and there are not a few who secretly show their goodwill to Emperor Zheng.
It's a pity that Emperor Zheng is jealous, and no matter how much the young concubines show affection, Emperor Zheng will not share the favor of the Son of Heaven.
Luo Guiren was flexible, and quickly hit Queen Pei with his idea.
Queen Pei has been sick and weak for many years, and although she has been getting better recently, she has to recuperate slowly. You can't serve the Son of Heaven with a sick body. If she surrenders to Queen Pei, perhaps, Queen Pei is willing to "promote" her.
Luo Guiren secretly listened to the movement in the Jiaofang Palace, and after Queen Pei came to the imperial garden, she had the courage to come to "ask for peace".
Now it seems that this step is the right one.
Queen Pei was willing to see her and opened her mouth to give her a seat, which was an excellent start.
Queen Pei didn't like to talk, so Luo Guiren did what she liked, sat quietly and didn't talk much.
Queen Pei Quandang had an extra object around her, but she didn't feel that it was an eyesore. Silently admiring the scenery for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "I heard that Luo Guiren is good at dancing? ”
Luo Guiren was happy again in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "The concubine has been practicing dance since she was a child, and she is the best at group fan dance and long-sleeved dance. If the mother is idle and bored, the concubine is willing to go to the Jiaofang Palace to dance to relieve the boredom of the mother. ”
Cheng Jinrong was stunned in his heart.
This Luo Guiren is really young and can't hold his breath. As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed his ambition.
However, ambitious concubines are easy to handle and easier to be pawns.
Cheng Jinrong quietly pulled Queen Pei's sleeve.
She stood beside Queen Pei, this subtle little movement was known only to Queen Pei. Empress Pei felt a trace of secret joy in her heart, and naturally understood what Cheng Jinrong meant.
"Luo Guiren has a heart, and this palace knows it." Empress Pei smiled faintly: "That is the case, tomorrow the noble Luo will come to the Jiaofang Palace!" ”
Luo Guiren suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and responded respectfully.
Luo Guiren has ambition and eyes, and his intention has been achieved, and he will not stay longer. Soon he got up and retired.
……
After Luo Guiren left, his ears were much quieter.
Empress Pei spent an hour in the imperial garden before returning to the Jiaofang Palace. Slept for another hour, drank the decoction, and then had dinner.
Needless to say, Queen Pei also knows that she is getting better day by day. My appetite is better than before, and my physical strength is getting better and better.
Every night, after Queen Pei falls asleep, Cheng Jinrong will rest.
Queen Pei was a little distressed, and said softly: "You should rest early!" ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "Being by my mother's side is the greatest blessing for Jinrong in this life." Jin Rong is not tired at all. ”
In just two sentences, Queen Pei was sad.
Oh, yes!
It was a time of dreams.
Cheng Jinrong stayed in the end, and waited for Queen Pei to fall asleep before exiting the palace.
She didn't like the solemn, heavy, cold court, but her mother was trapped here. She willingly stayed in the Jiaofang Hall and stayed by her mother's side all the time.
……
The next day, Luo Guiren really came to the Jiaofang Hall to ask for peace.
Queen Pei, who has never seen a harem concubine, is kind to Luo Guiren.
Luo Guiren took the initiative to dance, and Queen Pei did not refuse, and summoned the musicians in the palace to come. Silk and bamboo vocal music sounded, and Luo Guiren danced a long-sleeved dance.
Long water sleeves waving, waving out of the dust.
Luo Guiren is also careful, dancing in front of the emperor, the softer the better. Dancing in front of the queen mother can't be too kitsch. so as not to disgust the queen.
Actually, Luo Guiren was too cautious.
Empress Pei moved the idea of 'promoting' the concubines, and she didn't have any jealousy in her heart, and she wished that Luo Guiren, who came to surrender, was charming and moving, and firmly held Emperor Xuanhe.
After Luo Guiren danced, Queen Pei praised and rewarded ten fine silk yarns.
After a few days, Luo Guiren went to the Jiaofang Palace to ask for peace. Although I can't dance every day, I can talk to the queen to relieve my boredom, and I can do my best.
There were no secrets in the harem, and the matter soon reached the ears of Emperor Zheng's concubine.
Emperor Zheng sneered disdainfully.
In this harem, who doesn't want to be favored by the Son of Heaven? Queen Pei looks virtuous and generous, and she must be pretending.
Soon, Emperor Zheng was slapped in the face.
Emperor Xuanhe went to visit Empress Pei in Jiaofang Palace, and "coincidentally" met Luo Guiren.
In front of Emperor Xuanhe, Empress Pei praised Luo Guiren: "...... Luo Guiren is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and empathetic and very considerate. A few days ago, the concubines were a little depressed, and Luo Guiren came to ask for peace every day, and they also specially danced to relieve the boredom of the concubines. ”
Emperor Xuanhe glanced at Luo Guiren.
Luo Guiren's pretty face was slightly red, her face was shy, and she responded respectfully: "It is a matter of course for a concubine to serve her mother." I don't dare to be a mother so praised. ”
Empress Pei smiled and sighed lightly: "There are many concubines in the harem, and there is only one noble Luo who has such intentions." ”
Emperor Xuanhe also didn't summon his concubines to sleep for a few days, and that night, he summoned Luo Guiren to serve him.
How Luo Guiren is happy, there is no need to elaborate.
Emperor Zheng was so angry that she smashed a set of tea bowls in the Zhongcui Palace.
