Chapter 200: Choosing a Dance Costume
It didn't take long for the palace maid to enter the main hall with five different colored dance clothes. Then he said respectfully: "Concubine Jing, the slave maid took five pieces of clothes from the dance clothing workshop, all of which were selected according to the figure of Miss Lan and the style she chose. ”
Concubine Jing nodded with satisfaction, then smiled at Lan Zixian and said softly: "Miss Lan, you see if there are any of these five pieces you like, if not, let the palace maid choose them for you." ”
Lan Zixian was simply flattered, and said that the lady in the palace was unapproachable, and Concubine Jing in front of her was not only easy to speak, but also kind to her and let her choose at will. She hurriedly saluted excitedly, and then said, "These five clothes are all beautiful, Zixian can choose one of them." ”
"Go ahead."
The palace maid brought Lan Zixian to the back, and asked her to choose a dress first, and then try it on, anyway, there is still time, if it doesn't fit well, you can modify it.
Lan Zixian's dance she naturally saw, at that time in Xuzhou, she had nothing to do every day, and she was also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Once when she returned home from outside, she heard the sound of music, and she followed the sound of the piano to the courtyard of Lan Zixian, and secretly saw Lan Zixian practicing dance. It's really amazing, and it's able to blend in with the music. Looking at her, if it weren't for Concubine Shu placing her in Allure to practice dance, she would be really useless.
And Lan Zixian's vision, she is naturally very clear. Of the clothes he took, Lan Zixian would definitely choose the white clothes with silver threads. After Lan Zixian came out of the interview, he really chose the white dress.
"Concubine Jing, the little girl has been chosen." Lan Zixian said respectfully.
"Oh? Don't you need to modify it? Concubine Jing asked with concern.
"No, the little girl has tried it on just now, and it just fits." Lan Zixian said slightly.
"Well, then let the palace maid hold it for you. When it's time to perform, just put it on. Concubine Jing said lightly.
"Yes."
"Madam Lan, this palace doesn't look very good at your complexion." Concubine Jing looked at Madam Lan and asked.
"Fortunately, I was really sick in bed a few days ago because of Ziyu's matter. Now that I have improved a lot, I am fortunate to have a sister in the house, so I don't have to worry about anything, and I can recuperate with peace of mind. Madame Lan said faintly.
Mrs. Zhi was naturally afraid that Concubine Jing would ask about taking care of the affairs of the house, but in fact, she was too worried. Concubine Jing, as the mother of the palace, cannot interfere in the family affairs of other people's families. Now her identity has not been clarified, and she is only the third lady of the prime minister's family.
"And nothing else. Madame knows that I am the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so how can I say that the Lan family is also a relative of the Prime Minister's family. According to the seniority of our family, I am also the aunt of the eldest lady of the Lan family. They are all their own families, and Bengong feels close when he looks at Mrs. Lan. Alas, come on. Concubine Jing said with a worried look, and then called the maidservant in.
The maid who came in was none other than Ning'er.
"What do you command?" Ning Er asked respectfully.
"Ning'er, this palace remembers that last time His Majesty rewarded a lot of blood swallows and ginseng, prepare some to bring over." Concubine Jing cautiously commanded.
"Yes." Ning'er turned around and went out.
In fact, those blood swallows and ginseng had already been wrapped, and they were brought back by Mrs. Lan today. She knows that her mother has been bullied in the house these days, and she is worried about her bad complexion on the one hand, and on the other hand, her nutrition can't keep up.
And when Mrs. Zhi heard the blood swallow and ginseng, her greedy face was revealed. However, Concubine Jing didn't pay attention to her at all. If you want to eat her Lan Ziyu's things, I'm afraid you can't afford to eat them.
"Niangniang can't help it, these are all given to you by His Majesty, how can you give it to your concubine?" Mrs. Lan is not prevaricating, let alone afraid. Concubine Jing is her daughter, and she is distressed.
"Mrs. Lan, I just said that we are also a family, why can't we reward you? Besides, His Majesty has rewarded this palace with a lot, but he can't eat it. If you refuse, this palace will be angry. Concubine Jing pretended to have a cold face, looked at Mrs. Lan and said.
At this time, Ning Er walked in with a box of blood swallows and ginseng, and Mrs. Lan had no choice but to accept it.
Lan Zixian on the side was not angry because of this box of blood swallows and ginseng, but because of what Concubine Jing said just now. Concubine Jing just said that the eldest lady of the Lan family is a family with her, and she is an aunt. And what about yourself? She didn't seem to say a word, what did she mean?
In fact, Madame Lan was very satisfied with Concubine Jing's performance today. She knows her daughter very well, if it was before, I believe that it will not take a stick of incense to show its feet. I heard that she was bullied by Mrs. Zhi again, and when I saw Lan Zixian and Mrs. Zhi, I didn't immediately step forward and tear them up. As a result, today was beyond her imagination, and she sat there silently, really like an outsider. Moreover, the words that come out are still thorny, which is uncomfortable and makes people unable to say anything. Especially Lan Zixian, she glanced at it secretly, and her expression was like eating a fly while eating.
"Madam Lan, you take these blood swallows and ginseng on time every day, and this palace will continue to send them to you when the time comes. After taking it for a period of time, the palace will ask the imperial doctor to check your pulse. Let's see how you still need to condition your body, if you let Hongu know that you haven't eaten, Hongu will really be angry. Concubine Jing naturally saw Mrs. Zhi's greedy face, if she didn't say so, presumably her father would definitely give this thing to Mrs. Zhi to eat. That's why she told her like this.
"Yes." Madame Lan said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Concubine Jing said slowly: "The hour is almost up, Madam Lan, if you have the opportunity, let's talk about it again." Ning'er, you take the lady and young lady of the Lan family to the Feiyun Palace. ”
"Yes."
Ning Er took the clothes from the handmaid holding the dance clothes, and then left the Feng Dance Hall with the lady of the Lan family and Lan Zixian.
Madame Lan walked in front and followed Ning'er, while Madame Zhi and Lan Zixian could only follow behind Madame Lan. Mrs. Zhi and Lan Zixian glanced at each other, and Lan Zixian shook her head and asked Mrs. Zhi not to speak. A few people soon arrived at the Feiyun Palace, and they were only merchants, even if they were imperial merchants, they could only sit outside. Once I had found my seat, I sat down.
Master Lan was a little earlier than them, so he asked, "Where did you go and why did you come here?" ”
Madam Lan said slightly: "Concubine Jing suddenly wanted to meet the people of the Lan family, so we went to the Phoenix Dance Hall to sit for a while. ”
When Master Lan heard this, his face was full of joy, and he asked in surprise, "Concubine Jing?" Is that the much-loved Concubine Jing? Why did she invite you to sit in the Phoenix Dance Palace? ”
Although Master Lan asked this, his heart was actually boiling, if he could climb this big tree, the Lan family's good days in the future would continue.
Mrs. Lan didn't wait to speak, and Mrs. Zhi on the side couldn't help it, and said, "Master, it's Concubine Jing who said she wanted to meet Miss Lan." So, he invited us to the Phoenix Dance Palace. also gave Zixian a dance dress, and let her perform in front of the palace later. ”
As soon as Master Lan heard this, he knew that it might be for the sake of King Ying's face to meet Zixian, so he said, "Okay, Zixian did a good job." ”
Mrs. Lan smiled softly, and then said: "Master, Concubine Jing is the third lady of the Prime Minister's family, she once heard His Majesty say that Ziyu plays the piano very well, so she wants to meet the eldest lady of the Lan family, but she doesn't know that Ziyu has gone." She felt very sorry when she heard that Ziyu was gone, and she thought that the eldest lady of the Lan family had a marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Ying. As a result, she was mistaken. He also said that we have always been a family, and we will have more contact in the future. ”
When Master Lan heard this, he almost forgot about this stubble, no matter what the identity of this Concubine Jing was, after all, His Majesty gave her a decent identity. Isn't the third lady of the former prime minister's family her own relative? Master Lan has also learned in the past few months in the capital that the Prime Minister has not been affected by Yuan Xin'er, and has been reused as always. When he heard Concubine Jing say this, he faintly regretted that he shouldn't have forced Lan Ziyu in the first place. If Ziyu is fine, it must not be a problem to become the concubine of King Ying.
However, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that things would develop like this? Presumably, Concubine Jing has no backer, and the prime minister has also resigned. And Concubine Jing's move was obviously to tie herself up with the Lan family, but what Concubine Jing was was nothing more than silver. It seems that the lady should be allowed to see this concubine Jing more.
"Madam, I didn't expect Concubine Jing to mention Ziyu. In the future, if Concubine Jing is summoned, you will go and talk to her more. After all, we are relatives, and we will never be wrong to rely on Concubine Jing. Master Lan said after thinking it through.
And Mrs. Zhi and Lan Zixian on the side did not look very good, although they were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Lan's words, but it was also a fact.
Lan Zixian said obediently: "Father, Concubine Jing is very easy to get along with, and she likes the dance clothes fairy very much." ”
"Well, you'll behave well in a moment." Master Lan nodded and said.
"Master, don't worry, when did Xian'er disappoint you. Her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not your personal goals, you can put your heart in your stomach. Oops! Mrs. Zhi spoke, and suddenly sighed.
Master Lan hurriedly asked worriedly, "Zhi'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
"This little thing kicked me." Mrs. Zhi said with a smile.
"This little guy is really funny." Master Lan also said happily.
Madame Lan did not speak, and sat aside.
Old Man Lan looked at Madam Lan and wanted to ask her what else Concubine Jing said, but his eyes glanced at the two boxes on the stool.
"Where did this come from?" Old Man Lan asked.
Mrs. Lan said with a smile: "It was Concubine Jing who saw that the concubine was unwell and her face was not very good, so she rewarded the concubine with some blood swallows and ginseng. ”
"Oh?" Just when Master Lan was about to say something, he saw Mrs. Zhi's aggrieved face. So he said partially: "Madame is weak and needs to be adjusted slowly." These blood swallows and ginseng are not suitable for Mrs., Zhi'er happens to be pregnant, why don't you give Zhi'er a dose first, and wait until your body improves, is it okay for the master to buy it for you? ”
"It's okay, it's just that these things were given to Concubine Jing by His Majesty, and Concubine Jing let the concubine take them on time, and when the time comes, she will ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the concubine's pulse. Concubine Jing said that if the concubine did not take it, she would be angry. Master, do you say that the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis can diagnose the concubine's body without taking these supplements? If it can't be diagnosed, the concubine will give these things to her sister, and the sister is pregnant, giving her food is equivalent to giving it to the child in the womb, and the concubine will not feel distressed. Mrs. Lan blocked the words and saw how Master Lan decided. Anyway, her words have already been said very well, and when the time comes, whether she eats or not, even if the imperial doctor can't diagnose it, Concubine Jing will find a way to know. Master Lan didn't know who Concubine Jing was, so he must have some scruples.
Master Lan had no choice but to give up and said, "That's it, after returning home, ask the doctor to come and check your pulse to see if these supplements are suitable for you to take now." ”
"Yes." Madame Lan replied with a smile.
