Chapter 164: Beautiful women are hard to come by
Wan Yanduo was named a concubine, originally the emperor meant to give her the concubine position directly, but Concubine Xian said that now that the queen is not there, the establishment of a concubine is a big deal, and it must be justified with the queen's permission.
As I said, the princess has a noble status, and she was personally presented by the lord of the Jin Kingdom, if she is directly crowned as a concubine in the palace, there are no two ceremonies, isn't it a little too aggrieved princess.
It's better to give a concubine first, and wait for a good liveliness after returning to the palace, so as to give the princess face.
The emperor was a little unhappy when he heard Concubine Xian's words, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute it, so he said that he had admired the Son of Heaven for a long time and didn't care about his position, so the emperor gave up.
I heard that the singing and dancing in the emperor's bedroom did not stop last night, and when Meng combed his eyebrows and went to serve Concubine Xian to wash up in the morning, he saw a faint dark blue under her eyes.
"Why are you so frizzy today, you can't even comb your hair."
I don't know if Su Qin was too strong when she was helping Concubine Xian comb her hair, which hurt Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian was a little angry.
Su Qin hurriedly knelt down to apologize, Meng combed her eyebrows and waved her hand to let her go out first, and help Concubine Xian comb her hair by herself.
"Do you think I'm old?"
Concubine Xian looked at the mirror and said with emotion.
"Where is the concubine, if you can age as beautiful as you, I'm afraid everyone is looking forward to getting old."
Meng combs her eyebrows and mouth seems to be smeared with honey, which makes Concubine Xian smile with her eyebrows.
"In the end, the years are unforgiving, compared with those young concubines, the emperor is probably really tired of me."
It seems that Yan Duo's favor made Concubine Xian very unhappy.
Also, a young and beautiful woman, and she is so pleasing to men, no one will feel good when she sees her husband looking at other women with that kind of seductive eyes.
I thought that after so many years in the palace, Concubine Xian could be regarded as experienced, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to hide my thoughts so easily.
"The father is also greedy for freshness, after all, the first time I see a woman from the Jin Kingdom, the mother doesn't have to take it to heart."
She gently helped Concubine Xian comb her hair, and when she happened to see a white hair, she carefully hid her hair in her sleeve, so as not to make her feel sad when she saw it.
In fact, Concubine Xian is only forty years old, which is not very old, and she is very well maintained, so she can't tell her real age at all.
can be dwarfed by the delicate woman like Wan Yanduo.
Who is not captivating the country and the city at the age of eighteen, but everyone will be old, the emperor is like this, the concubine is like this, and his future is also like this.
Although Concubine Xian's side was gloomy, she was still able to calm down, but Concubine Yue's side was different.
"Fox! It's just a bit of work that can't be put on the table. ”
Qingguo's women's heavy etiquette religion is absolutely impossible to be as prodigal as Wan Yanduo, but the emperor likes that kind of woman, so even if Concubine Yue is unwilling, she can only say a few words behind her back to vent her anger.
"Master, don't be angry, as long as you can take care of your body and give birth to a little prince in the future, are you still worried about the princess of Jinguo?"
After the miscarriage, Concubine Yue drank medicine every day, but her stomach just couldn't get up.
With the lesson of the last time, the more she didn't dare to be too anxious, but this time she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she saw a beautiful newcomer beside the emperor.
"You can find a time for Princess Chen to come to see me and ask me when I will be able to conceive a child."
Concubine Yue impatiently sent Xue Wei out.
Finally coaxed Concubine Xian to be happy, Meng Combrow went back to prepare to write a letter to Jing Qicheng, I don't know if he is okay in the capital alone.
It's just that he hasn't seen him for a few days, and Meng Combrow only feels that his heart has flown back to Jing Qicheng like wings.
"Since you got married, Brother Wang, it's rare for us brothers to drink together like today."
Jing Ran also stayed in the capital, anyway, he was just a prince that no one remembered, and it is estimated that even his father forgot about him.
"What you say makes me feel like I'm ignoring you a little too much."
Jing Qicheng smiled.
Maybe it's because they have been raised under the knees of Concubine Xian for a period of time, and among the princes, the two of them are the closest.
"Brother Wang, you ......, my brother doesn't know if there is a question to ask."
Jing Ran frowned deeply, since Jing Qicheng came back from Luzhou, he wanted to ask this question in person.
"Our brother, it doesn't hurt you to say it."
This wine is an osmanthus wine made by Meng Combeye, with a warm taste, not a strong liquor, and is most suitable for drinking.
"Do you want to compete with the crown prince for the throne?"
Although Jing Ran doesn't care much about the government, he is also insightful about the affairs between brothers.
"What if I say yes?"
His mind didn't intend to hide it from Jing Ran.
If the prince can become a Ming monarch, it would be fine, but his party fights against differences, excludes dissidents, and connives, and connives, such officials will not be able to become a prince if they do not borrow the convenience of their eldest son.
If he could spend his thoughts on guarding against his brother on government affairs, Jing Qicheng would not have such thoughts.
The most important thing is that the prince can't tolerate people and is too suspicious.
In the future, the crown prince will really sit on the throne, whether it is him or Jing Ran, it is estimated that the prince will not be able to tolerate them.
"Brother Wang is right."
Even if it is Jing Ran, an idle prince, the prince will often step on him intentionally or unintentionally in front of the emperor, let alone Jing Qicheng.
Throughout the ages, there have been many cases of killing siblings in order to fight for power, and if you want to not be a mermaid, you can only fight angrily.
"I understand, Brother Wang, I will definitely be on your side."
Jing Ran knew that there wasn't much he could do, but he was willing to stand on the same front with Jing Qicheng.
"Lord Wang, the flying pigeon from the palace has passed the book."
Seeing that Jing Qicheng had something to deal with, Jing Ran took his leave first.
When I opened the letter, it was a poem.
The last line of the poem is: "If the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" ”
The handwriting is beautiful, and at first glance it is from the hand of Meng Comb.
Jing Qicheng smiled slightly, it seems that she is the same as herself, even if she is thousands of miles away, she has been thinking about each other.
I heard that Concubine Yue wanted to see her, but Meng Combrow didn't really want to go.
It's not a good thing for me and Concubine Yue to get too close.
Just like Concubine Yue was able to come forward to testify for herself before, it was also because the two had no personal relationship, so the words were credible.
But Xuewei came to invite in person, and Meng combed her eyebrows and couldn't refuse.
"Wait a minute, I'll go change first."
She changed into the clothes of the palace maids, but fortunately, the palace maids in the palace are basically newcomers, and they are not very familiar with each other, even if they are seen, no one will be suspicious.
