Chapter 411: Falling into the Well
Her Royal Highness the Queen looked at the many beauties in the palace, with willow eyebrows and delicate faces, brocade clothes and beads, through the superficial and flashy bead curtains and emeralds, gorgeous crown clothes, etc., more of what came into view was deep, and countless envy, jealousy, and resentment and other mixed expressions, which made these beautiful and glamorous princesses lose their brilliance in the past.
Nowadays, they have a noble rank, and they are dressed up with dazzling and gorgeous clothes, but the emptiness in their hearts and the loneliness of guarding a cold palace alone have already destroyed and tortured these imperial concubines into an empty and numb red and pink skeleton, stripping away this layer of beautiful skin like flowers and jade, and the rest ......
It's rotten and stinky meat that has long been full of intrigue and calculation.
The flickering peacock feather fan flickered like eyes flashing between the jade fingers of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, she lowered her eyes and looked at the Li Imperial Concubine who gritted her teeth and knelt patiently on the gilded jade bricks, and the words revealed between the red lips were undoubtedly a grand mockery, but the king acquiesced to her wanton and arrogant.
"Imperial Concubine Li, didn't you forget your identity when you were drinking and having fun, and you even did such a perfunctory thing to salute Her Royal Highness the Queen?" She gently shook the gilded ivory fan bone in the palm of her hand, and the blue flickering peacock feathers set off her more and more luxurious, and the wide sleeves of a bright golden palace skirt swayed brightly, which made it difficult to hide the amazement.
Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Li raised her head suddenly, stared at the Imperial Concubine coldly, and asked in a low voice, "...... Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, when the concubine saluted Her Royal Highness the Queen, what point did she forget her identity, and what was the point of perfunctory? ”
Xiu narrow and slender jade fingers suddenly clenched tightly on the gilded jade bricks, the anger in the heart of the imperial concubine Li was already indescribable, at this moment, she really hated the imperial concubine, and she couldn't wait to pounce on it and directly tear the slut's cheap mouth, and the other party in the province barked everywhere from morning to night, which made her disgusted.
The eyes of the crimson palace beauties who came into view seemed to be burning with sunset fire, the imperial concubine looked at the suppressed and angry appearance of the imperial concubine, the peacock feather fan half covered the red lips, smiled lightly and said carefully: "Look at your posture, the palace rules are clearly marked that when the concubine salutes the queen, especially the big gift of kneeling and kowtowing, but you are not allowed to raise your head at will, and your eyes are wandering." ”
At this point, she slightly hooked her lips, and a touch of stunning brilliance flowed from the tail of her eyes with long eyeliner: "Your eyes are full of tears now, you are clearly looking at Your Majesty's position, if it weren't for your gaffe today, which disturbed the elegance of the guests in the palace, the palace would almost think that Her Royal Highness the Queen scolded you." ”
These words are really no less than taking a knife and stabbing it into the heart of Princess Li.
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.
Now, in this Bei Que Zhu Palace, except for the eighteen dancing girls who fell down, the rest of the imperial concubines have already sat back in their places under the gesture of Her Royal Highness the Queen's pardon and get up, and they looked at the Li Imperial Concubine who was kneeling alone on the gilded jade bricks through the table and flag banquet, and their hearts were all invariably spreading a feeling of extreme comfort and relief.
The light blue palace skirt embroidered with petal jade white pear blossoms swayed the white jade tassels hanging from her temples, and her gentle and picturesque eyebrows revealed a little elegance: "What Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine said is very true, fortunately, there are all the guests in the palace who witnessed the drunkenness of the Imperial Princess, otherwise if someone with a heart takes advantage of the loophole, how can it be good to slander Her Royal Highness the Queen?" ”
As she spoke, she stared meaningfully at the Imperial Concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground, and her leisurely and calm tone completely lost the prudence of the past.
She is no longer bullied, she just wants to guard a palace and live in silence.
Since it is impossible to become a pampered and glorious existence like the imperial concubine, it is also excellent to strive to become a jade concubine who is flawless and bright in the king's heart, as long as she can become the right-hand man of Her Royal Highness the queen who has been silently sheltering herself and taking care of herself from beginning to end, the jade concubine does not care about her life and blood on her hands.
In the final analysis, in fact, she is a little cold in her bones.
It's just that Her Royal Highness the Queen gave her a light to live hard.
Or rather...... Wish.
The begonia Qibao that was a little damaged was messily entangled in the cloud temples of the Imperial Concubine Li, and the red gold and ruby tassels reflected the bewitching and blood-like brilliance: "Jade Guifei, what do you mean, openly and secretly implying that the palace has a heart of arrogance towards Her Royal Highness the Queen, this is a big crime, and the palace can't afford it!" ”
"Hongu?" Looking at the hideous demeanor of Imperial Concubine Li gritting her teeth, the scenery of Yu Guifei smiling more and more is more and more leisurely.
The fan pendant decorated with white jade crystals was stacked heavily and coldly on the silk palace skirt, and she lowered her thick eyelashes to stare at the gilded ivory fan bone looming in the white feather fan, and her words were extremely sarcastic: "In front of this palace, Concubine Li, you are not qualified to call yourself this palace, it seems that the palace rules and etiquette of the past few years have long been forgotten by you." ”
Before the words fell, the imperial concubines in the banquet had already let out indistinct laughter, and Princess Li even clearly heard a mocking sentence such as 'I really don't know how thick the sky is'.
There is no doubt that Yu Guifei's words were magnificent--- and she slapped Imperial Concubine Li in public a loud and crisp slap.
The beautiful woman with a beautiful face suddenly clenched her jade fingers, her eyes stared coldly at the jade concubine, she looked at the beautiful woman sitting in the banquet with gentle and picturesque eyebrows, and there was a faint voice in the bottom of her heart shouting, shouting--- This woman can't stay for a long time.
Different from the hatred and hostility of the relatives of the Li Imperial Concubine family, although the relatives of the Yu Guifei family were surprised by the sudden change of Yu Guifei's personality and speech and demeanor, they did not feel the slightest worry and fear in their hearts, they were not afraid of the hateful gaze from the Li Imperial Concubine family, as long as the Jade Guifei could cheer up in this golden wire cage, then what if it offended the Li Imperial Concubine?
Don't forget, this is the jade concubine who was canonized by King Chrysostom Yuyan himself, who lives in the beautiful and elegant Sleeping Jade Palace in the palace, and is also a concubine sheltered by Her Royal Highness the Queen. No matter how angry and unwilling Imperial Concubine Li and her family members were, there are some things that they can't touch in the slightest.
On the contrary, they also have to be careful that they are smart and mistaken by being smart, after all, their family has a young lady like Princess Li who is not very smart and has a more reckless and impulsive personality.
Even if she has now become the honorable and beautiful Concubine Li, when she is still the pampered daughter of the year, the excessive doting and connivance of her parents has long distorted her nature, in the heart of Princess Li, as long as she can't get it, it should all be destroyed, including the position of the imperial concubine, and the position of the queen.
If it weren't for the fact that she was alone in the palace, and her popularity was not very good, Princess Li would probably have been planning how to drag Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine off the throne and strip off the splendid garment.
Concubine Yu carefully looked at Concubine Li's expression, although the other party's delicate and charming face still had an angry and aggrieved look, but the fleeting ruthlessness in her beautiful eyes was still sensitively captured by her. Looking at this Li Imperial Princess, who had always had eyes above the top and no one in her eyes, Concubine Yu's eyes showed a bit of sarcasm and sympathy.
The irony is that Imperial Concubine Li gave birth to such a good skin, and has such a noble and prominent background, but she doesn't know how to maintain and use it, and quietly accumulates power in the palace and plumps her wings: she chose the most stupid and flamboyant way to offend all the concubines in the palace and ended up alone.
Sympathy is that the family members of Princess Li are all bright and dazzling, full of talent and good strength, and have been favored and reused by the king, but the glory of years of hard work and glory has been lost to Princess Li, a stupid person who is not a weapon, and in the end, the prosperity of the family is gone, not to mention, and it has provoked the king's suspicion in vain.
The beautiful eyes with light brown eyeliner revealed an elegant style, and the jade concubine put down the white feather fan in her hand and stared at the princess Li, and the words were like sharp blades one after another deeply inserted into the heart of the princess: "But think about it, pampered, calling the wind and rain for so many years, I want to come to the heart of the princess Li...... I've long been unwilling to stick to the rank of the imperial concubine, right? ”
"Shut up!" Before Concubine Yu finished speaking, Concubine Li suddenly turned pale and shouted. If Yu Guifei is allowed to continue to say this, then her glory and favor will come to an end, because the king does not allow any arrogance to the existence of Her Royal Highness the Empress, even the imperial concubine.
A noble concubine is a noble concubine, and she can never be compared with a wife.
What's more, as we all know, Her Royal Highness the Queen was the love at first sight when the king was young, plus Her Royal Highness the Queen was born in a famous family in the Sakura Country, and she is a noble and unparalleled aristocratic daughter, and the family power can be said to be in full swing, but it will not threaten the imperial power, so she was recommended as the princess by the ministers.
And then...... became the current Her Royal Highness the Queen.
"What's the matter, the heart is empty?" Seeing the situation, Concubine Yu pretended to be surprised, and her calm and leisurely tone made Princess Li's heart almost dripping with hatred.
The queen lowered her eyes and carelessly stroked the jade Ruyi of mutton fat white jade in her hand, and the pale golden pearl tassel brushed lightly on the side of her wrist, and then hung down on the side of the blue phoenix skirt. The twelve embroidered skirt curtains reveal a magnificent and majestic dignity, highlighting her unique scenery of glory and grace, as well as the supreme and noble thousands of phoenixes.
She didn't need to pay attention to the verbal quarrels between the concubines in the palace, but letting Imperial Concubine Li continue to make waves in the palace was not the way Her Royal Highness the Queen governed the inner palace. She lazily raised her eyes and glanced at the purple-clothed maid, only to see that the maid was still covering her cheeks, lying on the gilded jade bricks weakly and pitifully, and the red and swollen palm prints faintly revealed between her fingers were hideous and terrifying.
The gilded jade bricks were cold and piercing, and the figure of the woman lying on the ground was all slender and weak, especially the red and swollen palm prints on the fine white skin, which ruined the purple-clothed maid's originally delicate and lovely face.
