Chapter 410: Retreat as Advance
The face of the husband sitting on the side of the elegant woman was also clear, and he quietly held his wife's slightly cool soft wattle under the table under the cover of the brocade dark pattern table flag, and said softly and comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, my daughter is living a good life now, and Her Royal Highness the Queen likes her daughter's kindness and gentleness very much, which is also the nature of her daughter." ”
She smiled lightly when she heard this, and tapped her chin, and the tassels of the beads and hairpins held obliquely between the temples collided with each other and swayed a slightly dull sound.
The title of the jade concubine was given by the king's unique vision, implying that her daughter was as smooth and flawless as a beautiful jade. Because of this title, the relatives of the Yu Guifei family have endured the cynicism of the famous nobles for several days, and without exception, they all reveal that the Yu Guifei is just a plain stone.
After all, the bestowal of the title symbolizes the favor and favor of the king, and among the concubines of the same rank, the concubines without the title should bow to the concubines with the title, and they should be one level higher in status.
After many daughters from famous and noble families entered the palace, they suffered for several years and failed to get the title given by King Chrysostom Yuyan, but the woman from the scholarly family of Yu Guifei actually got the title of --- jade from the king on the first day of entering the palace.
Jade, such a beautiful word, it is really hateful......
Her Royal Highness the glamorous Imperial Concubine once joked that it is better to modify the title of the word "jade" of the jade concubine to "Ying", "Min", "Min", "Min", "Xiu" and other words that mean jade-like beautiful stones as the title of the jade concubine, among which the word "min" is the most in line with the appearance and temperament of the jade concubine.
Suave and elegant, Shuyi is leisurely.
In terms of meaning, it is a beautiful stone like jade, and in terms of pronunciation to describe 'Wen', it can be said that it is the most suitable.
However, even if His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine was so carefully selected, she still suffered a veto from the king, and the king also deliberately modified the residence of the Jade Concubine to 'Sleeping Jade Palace', which completely laid the will of using the word 'jade' as the title of the Jade Concubine, and rewarded many treasures and antiques, pearls and hairpins.
Since then, no one in the palace has mentioned the inappropriate title of the jade concubine, and even the famous families outside the palace have stopped writing and criticizing, and they have invariably respected and courteous some of the family members of the jade concubine in their words and deeds, so as not to anger the jade concubine who has won the king's honor and favor in the palace.
Complex and suspicious, high-ranking and powerful kings have always loved pure-minded, kind and gentle beauties, even the Supreme and Noble Highness the Queen.
The clouds and temples in the palatial palace, the princesses of the willow-waisted beauty quietly looked at the scene in front of them, only to see that the princess had changed the honorable scenery in the past, and at this moment she knelt humbly and respectfully in front of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and on the ninth-level gilded jade step was Her Royal Highness the Queen who smiled gently, but for some reason, looking at Her Royal Highness's gentle and watery face, the hearts of all the imperial concubines were chilled for no reason.
Good manner, why did Her Royal Highness suddenly pardon Princess Li's gaffe?
After all, the popularity of Concubine Li in the palace is really not very good, relying on the powerful position of the family relatives behind her, Princess Li has always been used to being powerful and blessed in the palace, her eyes are above the top, and there is no one in her eyes.
If the king reuses Princess Li's family relatives in a certain political matter, Princess Li will even be arrogant and arrogant to secretly sarcastically mock Her Royal Highness in her words.
Such an unhumble and disobedient imperial concubine is not qualified to make Her Royal Highness the Empress personally pardon.
The golden phoenix totem between the eyebrows was shining, and Her Royal Highness the Queen lowered her thick eyelashes and stared at the Imperial Concubine Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and her gentle and clear voice revealed a noble tone that had been immersed in the power for several years: "Imperial Concubine Li, this palace is thinking that you are drunk and gaffe today, so you don't pursue it too much, but you will be exempted from this month's salary, and you will think about it for seven days behind closed doors in the palace." ”
After deducting a month's salary, the palace has been thinking about it behind closed doors for seven days, and such a punishment can not be lighter for Princess Li. During the banquet, many of the imperial concubines who had been framed and tortured by Imperial Concubine Li were clenched when they heard the words, and they only felt that the grievances and anger in their hearts were deeply suppressed and suddenly surfaced in their hearts at this moment.
Even if he openly scolded the purple-clothed maid at the palace feast, disturbing the interest and elegance of the dignitaries and ministers, he would not be too harshly criticized by the king and the queen, and if they were replaced by ordinary imperial concubines, then the punishment waiting for them would be far more than that.
"The concubine has thanked Her Royal Highness the Queen for her magnanimity, and the concubine will remember the lesson of the day, and she will not dare to do it again in the future." When Empress Li heard the pardon and punishment of Her Royal Highness the Queen, she hurriedly knelt on the gilded jade brick and lowered her eyebrows, and held the tassels of the gold jewelry and stone tassels of the begonia in the clouds and mist.
"Well, take it to heart, and don't do it again." Her Royal Highness the Empress stared at the humble posture of Empress Li's forehead tightly pressed against the cold gilded jade brick, and secretly sneered in her heart. For this arrogant and domineering Princess Li, who did not lose to the imperial concubine at all, she had already moved her mind to eradicate it.
It's just that now the king is reusing Princess Li's family relatives, and many complicated political affairs in the Sakura Kingdom still need the powerful children of Princess Li's family to assist His Majesty to complete, so Her Royal Highness the Queen just let go of Princess Li's gaffe today, and only lowered the punishment of deducting the money and thinking about it behind closed doors.
But the plan continues.
Retreating is a better way to eradicate the enemy.
Only by pardoning Concubine Li's gaffe this time, then when the next gaffe happens, Her Royal Highness the Queen can more logically show all the mistakes committed by Princess Li in the past in front of everyone, and can effortlessly eradicate Princess Li through the palace rules and etiquette and the king's ruthlessness.
Don't blame her for being ruthless, if Princess Li didn't have the heart of arrogance, Her Royal Highness wouldn't mind keeping such a delicate and charming beauty with a not very smart brain.
The gentle eyes like water stayed on the neck of the white jade of the Empress Li's neck for a long time, and Her Royal Highness the Queen slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes stained with pale gold pearls, the red gold phoenix feather Nine Treasures Yingluo was really too gorgeous and luxurious, and the thought of collecting all the Nine Treasures to make this Yingluo was enough to amaze her.
The finely carved red gold phoenix feathers shine brightly, although the phoenix that has not been carved out completely, but the nine-tailed phoenix feathers have already violated the dignity of Her Royal Highness the Queen. She slowly retracted her gaze and looked at the relatives of Princess Li's family with a smile, only to see that they were all brocade clothes and jade belts, pink and greasy.
There is no one between the clouds and mist temples that is not decorated with oblique beads and hairpins, and the noble ladies and daughters of the clan are full of gorgeous costumes, such as cui yu and bright walls, if it were not for the gaffe of the princess in front of people, the eyebrows of these people will still reveal a proud look, as if they are the only ones in the palace feast.
It's ridiculous and pitiful.
The tassels of the gold jewels on the stacked gilded jade bricks reflected the slightest rays of brilliance, and the Empress Li did not hear Her Royal Highness's will to pardon and get up, so she could only continue to kneel on the ground humbly and respectfully. The jade bricks that catch your eye are carved with intricate and gorgeous gold patterns, but the cold and biting chill penetrates through the texture of Princess Li, deeply cutting her pampered and plump body.
How could the already pampered and pampered Imperial Concubine Li endure such a biting and cold torment? She trembled slightly, raised her forehead against the brick, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she looked pitifully at the gorgeous king high above.
It's a pity that the king didn't give her even a look.
Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in a gorgeous crown and beautiful dress saw that the queen had forgiven the Imperial Concubine Li so lightly, and she was quite shocked and uncertain in her heart, she raised her eyes and carefully looked at the graceful and luxurious beautiful face of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and there were thousands of thoughts in her mind, and for a while, even the peacock feather fan in her hand was almost swayed to the ground.
Although her brain is not very smart, but gossip to sow discord, as well as the ability to speak skillfully, this is also the fundamental reason why Her Royal Highness has to beware of Imperial Concubine Li.
In her eyes, the power and status of the family are irrelevant, since she becomes the imperial concubine after entering the palace, the most important thing is to firmly hold the king's heart.
As a concubine, the most important thing is to be favored by the king, and firmly grasp the glorious scenery given by the king, so that you can live more noble and long in this cold golden cage of corpses and bones.
What Imperial Concubine Li relies on is precisely what the Imperial Concubine is most disdainful, no matter how noble and glorious the family power is, it is only dependent on the imperial power after all, the Sakura Country is a country ruled by the imperial power, and the power of the Imperial Concubine Li's family is growing, and the magnates in the clan are becoming more and more arrogant and no one is in their eyes, which has already aroused the suspicion in the king's heart.
Although Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is just a humble and lowly court dancer, to put it mildly, she is just a canary raised by the royal family in a golden silk cage, but she did not succumb to the tragic fate of becoming a gift, but resolutely chose to become a mandala flower clinging to the king.
The red gold phoenix feather hairpin was half-hidden and half-hidden between the misty sideburns and clouds, and Her Royal Highness the Empress stared at the imperial concubine's thoughtful expression, and her eyes gently flowed over the colorful feather fan in the other party's hand: "Imperial concubine, what's wrong with you, it's like you've lost your soul." ”
"His Royal Highness Lao is concerned, and the concubine has just drunk the wine, so her mind is a little trance." The imperial concubine hooked her lips and replied, she raised her jade arm and gently brushed the finch feather tassel hanging down the side of her face, and the blue gem inlaid with the finch feather was clear and lush, reflecting the wisps of brilliant brilliance soaked in her skin.
The skin that was greasy with Amanita was as smooth and flawless as jade, and the queen stared at the imperial concubine's delicate face, and had to admire the other party's glamorous face and charming temperament. The only pity of such a beauty is that her background is not noble enough, and the rest, whether it is speech and behavior, or how to deal with people, are all first-class in Sakura Country.
Even if this imperial concubine is a little arrogant, but that arrogance is always limited to those concubines under the imperial concubine, for her Royal Highness the queen, the imperial concubine's etiquette can be described as perfect, even if she is occasionally a little indulgent, it is never too much, and she has been firmly stepping on the edge of the bottom line in her heart.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Queen also has the right to not see the occasional indulgence of the imperial concubine, and the trivial things that are inconsequential and vertical will pass with one eye and one eye closed.
In the final analysis, Her Royal Highness's ruthless reputation is only limited to those imperial concubines in the palace, she is still beautiful and deep in front of Her Royal Highness, and her words and demeanor always reveal the noble and elegant royal majesty, even if she is occasionally arrogant and indulgent, she is never too presumptuous.
Only when there is a degree of relaxation can you be honored and glorious all your life.
This truth, those noble daughters have not understood this truth so far, but Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, a court dancer from a humble background, has already seen through it.
It's all idiots......
