Chapter Forty-Three: Morning and Dusk (I)
Although there are a lot of speculations and analyses, Ming Shiyun and Tang Wanyi still don't dare to make any conclusions easily after all, now the emperor's attitude is unclear, and the situation in the harem is also in the clouds, and the dispute between the concubines is only under the table, how can it be easily seen? Therefore, in the end, Ming Shiyun could only rest for the time being, but more could not decide for a while.
However, since the emperor repeatedly mentioned Hua Guifei, the next day Ming Shiyun also arranged someone to visit her in the afternoon, who expected that just after noon, the imperial doctor came to consult and said that Ming Shiyun had better rest slowly in the palace for these two days, and it was not suitable to walk around and work, so the matter was put on hold again, and two days later, the imperial doctor relented, but the news came out from Fengqi Palace, saying that the queen mother was in good health, and she would resume morning and dusk from now on.
This is the first time that Ming Shiyun has formally met with the concubines of the harem since she entered the palace, Tang Wanyi and Ziling both attach great importance to this, and the tension is even better than that of Ming Shiyun.
"Okay, you two, just do what you want, anyway, just dress up according to my position, you don't have to be so nervous, it's not good to be careful." Shaking her head with a helpless smile, Ming Shiyun looked at the two figures reflected in the mirror, and opened her mouth softly, "My age is small in the harem today, and I am a newcomer who can't be newer, you can dress me up according to this feeling, of course, the etiquette of the concubine should be in place, but there is no need to pay too much attention to it." ”
"Does Niangniang want to be close and cute, and portray herself as an innocent little sister next door?" Tang Wanyi, who thoughtfully comprehended the meaning of Ming Shiyun, asked, and at the same time picked up the comb and slowly smoothed her long black and shiny hair, slowly thinking about what kind of hairstyle could best match Ming Shiyun's identity and desired feeling.
"How can it be said to be shaped? Wasn't that what I was supposed to be? Ming Shiyun smiled lightly again, not breaking it or saying much, but her attitude was already clear.
"But Niangniang is so naturally beautiful, I'm afraid that even if you want to be close and cute, in the eyes of many people, you will only regard that peerless face as a vicious obstruction." Ziling was originally choosing clothes for Ming Shiyun, but after hearing her conversation with Tang Wanyi, she couldn't help but interject worriedly, "In this harem, there are not many good ones, even if you have the intention to show weakness and resolve disputes peacefully, how do you know if anyone will agree?" ”
"There will always be someone who is willing to take care of me, no matter what, at least the queen mother shouldn't let me not get off the stage." Ming Shiyun winked at Ziling through the mirror, her eyes and face were full of smiles, and she looked very optimistic, "Of course, there are people who compete for fame and fortune and can't tolerate others, but it won't be all such people, although the harem is full of calculations and conspiracies, but I don't think there will be fewer people who don't want to compete for the top at this time, find the right friend, you don't have to worry about it to such a point in the future, right?" ”
"But...... You have to find the right friend, Niangniang, although it is a good thing that you are optimistic and positive, but it will not be wrong to always watch out for more, although the harem of Wei and the harem of Daqi are both harems, but one country is different, and the other is that your identity is not the same as before, the slave knows that Niangniang has always been smart, but it is absolutely impossible to copy the past. ”
"I know what you mean, Ziling." Ming Shiyun's smile was still so soft on her face, and she didn't change anything because she heard this, and even her tone was still the same as before, but she made her meaning all clear, "I also know what kind of whirlpool I am in now, but I am the emperor's favored person after all, this is my biggest weapon, and it is also a weapon that everyone can't avoid being injured, since I hold this, I will know how to do it, the most important thing at the moment is to wait for the morning and dusk to settle down, How much can I win for myself, and how much hostility I can alleviate. ”
