Chapter 50: Selection (4)
?
Concubine He was looking through the life and family history of those 'women', and when she saw us coming, she asked people to welcome me in and asked me: "Why didn't the child bring!"
I said: "It's still a little cold outside, so don't let him come out, let the 'milk' mother take it, and it will be fine!"
I left the 'spring' equinox and frost to take care of in the palace, and brought Gu Yu out.
"The lives of these 'women', do you want to take a look at them. Concubine He handed me a stack of papers.
I flipped through two at random and asked, "Didn't you say there are a few good ones?"
Concubine He nodded and said, "It's just right that you came, I'm ready to ask them to come and ask." As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch who had sent me a message yesterday walked in with a disgraced face, knelt down and said, "Niangniang forgives me, the slave didn't do a good job." Concubine He raised her eyebrows, not angry: "What's the matter!"
"The girl Qin you want to be called a slave was called by the people of the concubine Niangniang, and now she is at the concubine Niangniang!"
Concubine He snorted coldly: "Her hands and feet are fast!"
When I saw that her face was pale, I said, "Since she called her, I don't think we should call that Qin girl, lest people think that we are fighting with her!"
Concubine He listened to me with a mouthful of "we" and "us", which was very useful, and said with a smile: "Also, I haven't seen the people she has a crush on, who said that you must look good, hmph, if you can stand on your feet just by your appearance in the harem, will there be so many intrigues!"
Concubine Ya said: "If you don't see her, you can still see other people, and there are any good people." She flipped through the information as she spoke, but although she could speak Chinese, she didn't know many words and couldn't write.
Concubine He pretended not to see Concubine Ya since we came in, and there was no conversation at this time.
I had no choice but to say: "I just caught a glimpse of two people from Yangzhou, and they both said that the 'women' of Huainan Road are charming and charming, and I don't know how!"
Concubine He said: "I remembered when you said this, there is a pair of sisters in Yangzhou." She 'drawn' two of them and read: "Bai Xiaomei, seventeen years old, the 'daughter' of the county Cheng, and He Lan, sixteen years old, the niece 'daughter' of the county Cheng's wife, turned out to be cousins, and they were selected together, and it was luck, since they are so lucky, call them over to take a look!"
After a while, two little girls with clear eyebrows were brought over, they seemed to be very nervous, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, but they still saluted according to the instructions in a regular manner, and their voices were crisp and tactful, and they were all good voices.
I glanced at Concubine He, Concubine He asked them to raise their heads, motioned me to take a good look, and Concubine Ya muttered in my ear: "It looks like this, it's better to be Sister Concubine You!"
Concubine He glared at her, but fortunately, her voice was so small that others would not hear her.
Concubine He asked them some words, although their words trembled, they could be regarded as answering, I saw that Bai Xiaomei was very protective of He Lan's appearance, bowed her head slightly, and the concubine rewarded them with silver, and said gently: "Come and sit when you have time in the future!"
The two of them were also overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked Concubine He, and thanked me and Concubine Ya, and we also gave them a reward and let them go back.
When they left, Concubine He still shook her head and said, "In the end, the little 'door' is a small household, and I can't hold my breath!"
I smiled and said, "There are also benefits to not being able to hold your breath!"
Concubine He also nodded, Concubine Ya's eyes purred, and she smiled: "Next time, I'll also choose someone." Concubine He asked with a smile: "Do you also want to win over one or two!"
Concubine Ya pursed her lips and said, "What kind of wooing, I just think it's funny, I went to ask the emperor, and the emperor will definitely approve it!"
Concubine He snorted contemptuously: "Yes, the emperor loves you the most!"
Concubine Ya nodded with a smile and said, "But isn't it, I asked the emperor for something, and he has never refused to agree!"
The concubine couldn't help but get angry, I was funny in my heart, but I was worried about the 'jade' in the palace, so I said goodbye and went back.
Who knew that night 'jade' had some cough, I called Shen Qi to consult, prescribed a prescription to decoct 'medicine' every day, and finally got better after a few doses, I was not in the mood to pay attention to the outside things, and took care of 'jade', and when 'jade' was completely healed, no longer coughing, it has been seven or eight days.
The last news I got was that there were four 'women' left in this selection, two of which were Bai Xiaomei and He Lan, and the Qin girl, who was called by Zheng Guifei and said to be the most beautiful, was unexpectedly defeated.
I asked 'Chunfen' to check if something had happened, but 'Chunfen' said: "Niangniang, there is no need to investigate this matter, that Qin girl didn't participate in the re-election at all!"
I was stunned: "What's going on!"
'Chun' parted: "Actually, this matter was in a uproar a few days ago, and the mother took care of His Royal Highness wholeheartedly, and the slave and maid ordered us not to talk about it in the palace!"
The night before the re-election, there were thieves in the Changqing Palace, and a girl who lived in the same courtyard with Miss Qin lost a few valuable jewelry and shouted, the aunt in charge had no choice, and there might be one or two of these girls who could fly up the branches and become phoenixes, so they had to respond to the girl's plea and search the courtyard.
As a result, the lost jewelry was found in Miss Qin's baggage, and some people pointed out that Miss Qin had been to that girl's room.
This is good, there are all the human and material evidence, and Miss Qin can't deny it if she wants to, so Miss Qin was disqualified and returned to her hometown.
I can't help but sigh, such an obvious frame-up, is it the wall that is pushed by everyone, or is there a concubine behind the scenes, if it is the command, then she should know that Miss Qin is the talent that Zheng Guifei fancies.
I suddenly thought of Concubine He, and hurriedly asked, "Do the selected Bai Girl and Miss He also live in that courtyard!"
'Chun' Fen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I also live in that courtyard, but it's just ...... I heard that I didn't see them express their opinions from beginning to end, but when the queen learned about it, she felt that the two of them acted safely and had a deep sisterhood, so they all stayed!"
I smiled lightly, yes, this is the style of the concubine.
No matter when, she will pick herself cleanly, in this life, she has finally seen her methods again, even if Concubine Zheng Guifei is so angry, I am afraid that there will be no way.
The answer came when I went to greet the queen on the second day, and when I met the concubine, she admitted it herself.
"The two of them are also obedient, knowing that the harem is not the only one in the harem, and when they saw our three concubines together that day, they already had a plan in their hearts. Concubine He raised her eyebrows a little proudly and smiled, "I just hope that they can really help each other in the future, sisterhood is deep, don't be 'confused' and 'confused' by a momentary grace!"
Help each other, sisterhood is deep, hearing these two words, I instinctively bent the corners of my 'lips', is it a mockery?
The four new people were named 'women', and they were taught by their aunts in the palace to learn the rules for a month before they could 'serve' to sleep.
