Chapter 127: Stepping on Xiaoqiang
Wen Zhen nodded with a smile, thinking about whether this was a palace maid or a female official in the palace? It definitely can't be the emperor's concubine. Suddenly, I saw a figure flashing not far away, it seemed to be the little palace maid Huan Huan in the queen's palace, the little girl waved her hand to her again and again, looking a little anxious, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and a flash disappeared.
Wen Zhen was about to go over to take a look, but the palace maid had already said, "It's here." ”
Wen Zhen looked up, but it was a palace in the East Palace, with the book "Huanlan", looking at the location of this palace, it was not far from the prince's bedroom, and it seemed that this newcomer was not low in status.
At this time, the warblers in the hall were singing and laughing, and there were obviously a lot of greeting guests.
Whether it is Liangdi or Liangyuan, in the final analysis, they are all concubines, there is no need to organize a wedding, and there are not so many rules, at most, according to the identity of the newlyweds and the importance of the prince, people are allowed to come to the door to congratulate a little celebration. As soon as Wen Zhen entered the door, most of the people who came and went didn't know her, and someone stepped forward to greet her warmly, so they led her into the courtyard.
Wen Zhen had just stepped over the gate of the courtyard when he heard a sound behind him, and when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, the door of the palace was closed.
There was something wrong with the stance, and she didn't move.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, the courtyard was full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and the eyes of the women fell on her, and the newcomer who was surrounded by the crowd looked up with a smile.
Wen Zhen narrowed his eyes.
Laughed.
Really.
It's smelling nearly pure.
This woman is really, Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. Even if there is no intersection, as long as she gets in her way, she can give you nothing to do, and every once in a while, when you are about to forget this person, she can flutter and be a demon for a while.
There are not only Wen Jinchun, but also Wen Jinxiang, and their mother, Mrs. Wen, a distant relative of the Sikong family.
There are also a few grandmothers who have not seen Wen Zhen in the palace for so long before.
The women all over the courtyard stared at Wen Zhen, and Mrs. Wen was the first to speak.
"Yo. Isn't this Mrs. Tang? She slanted the corners of her mouth, revealing deep nasolabial folds, "What a rarity." Why, didn't Mrs. Tang go to sea with Tang Gongzi to get married? Coming back so soon? Speaking of which, I am really lonely and unheard, this marriage has just been given, I have never heard of it, you must know that there is no matchmaker and no employment, it is like running wild! ”
Wen Zhen smiled, "Long time no see, Mrs. Wen." I heard that the prince had a concubine, but I didn't expect it to be Ling Yuan, which is really gratifying. ”
Her word "concubine" was very clear, Mrs. Wen's face turned pale, and some ladies around sat upright and smiled silently, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
They are all executors of Mrs. Diplomacy, the husband is out and the prince is entertaining, and they are congratulating with the newlyweds. But all the ladies of the main room are the natural enemies of the concubines, and the prince's concubines are also concubines, not to mention the concubine's mother's family, and her temperament is really unpleasant.
This Mrs. Wen is said to be a member of the Sikong family, and she has no family style at all. Since she sat down, nine out of ten sentences have praised her son, and she has not cared for the daughter who has become the prince Liangyuan, but has been very picky. As for her child, she can't do martial arts, and I heard that she is just a prodigal child.
Just sitting here for a while, I heard that Mrs. said three times that I wanted Wen Jinchun to talk to the prince about arranging for her brother to enter Longxiang or Yulinwei, how impatient it was, and not to bring her daughter to take a breath.
Most of the ladies present don't know Wen Zhen, but they all know her. At this moment, listening to Mrs. Tang, they suddenly understood who she was. Wen Zhen is a woman like Wen Zhen, the people are famous, the court has status, she is favored by the royal father and son, and she is married to the first door valve, this kind of encounter, in the past, these ladies secretly didn't know how many times they were envious, jealous and hated, and naturally they didn't have much good impression.
Originally, with Wen Zhen's official position, some of the people present wanted to get up and salute, but Mrs. Wen shouted Mrs. Tang, Wen Zhen married Tang Xianzhi and was not married, and there was no seal, so these ladies also pretended to be stupid, did not salute, and made up their minds to watch the show coldly.
Mrs. Wen stared at Wen Zhen, and a look of deep hatred appeared in her eyes. It's just that he still has some hesitation.
She naturally hates Wen Zhen, how much has this woman done to her, and she is still living a smooth life. But because of this, she didn't dare to take it easy at the moment, and she was somewhat concerned about her identity. I just want to be comfortable with my mouth, I never thought that this girl, her mouth is still so sharp.
Wen Zhen was looking at Wen Jinchun.
I haven't seen him for a while, and he has become the new favorite of the prince, and Wen Jinchun, who has changed shotguns, looks much neater than the appearance in the Xiang Palace a while ago, but he is still thinner, thinner than before, so that the skin on his neck is a little drooping, and he has to be covered up with thick incense powder. The face decorated with heavy makeup is still beautiful, but the eyes are dark and gloomy, like an ancient well that exudes cold air.
She looked a little different from before, in the past she was in the palace, with a humble and respectful face, and she smiled when she met people. Now this smile has faded a lot, and there is a little bit of dust, as if there is really a bit of Buddha nature in the Xiang Palace.
Wen Zhen came in, she never moved, playing with the citron in her hand, and didn't lift her eyelids.
Wen Zhen originally thought that she was going to play the trick of pretending to be intimate but actually tricking people, but she never thought that her style would change drastically. I was a little vigilant, and I was about to leave with a few casual words, when I suddenly saw a palace man hurriedly come in and whispered a few words in Wen Jinchun's ear.
Wen Zhen saw that the corners of Wen Jinchun's lips were slightly hooked.
Mrs. Wen beside her leaned slightly, and she also vaguely listened to a few words, and suddenly burst into joy. Then he turned to Wen Zhen and exclaimed, "Mrs. Tang, has the honored husband passed away?" ”
As soon as this sound came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Wen Zhen smiled, stared at her lightly, and said, "I don't know, when a prince and concubine also had such deep connections, and only then did they report the news to Jingren Palace, and I will know it here in a blink of an eye." ”
Mrs. Wen was stunned, no matter how stupid she was, she was born in everyone, so she naturally understood what kind of crime it was to spy on the emperor's side. Before she could speak, Wen Jinchun had already raised her head and smiled calmly: "My sister has won the award." But it's not for me to find out. But His Majesty just passed the news to the Queen Mother Lafayette, and Lafayette ordered me to start lighting the lantern and copying the scriptures from tonight to pray for Tang Gongzi. ”
She said softly, "It's really sad. My sister has become a widow before she officially enters the door. ”
Wen Jinxiang also smiled: "Tang Gongzi and Master Wen made an appointment to go to sea, I heard that they were going to get married, but something happened, but it was Lord Wen, who came back with all his beards and tails, and he was really lucky." I wonder if Your Majesty has a reward for you? ”
Mrs. Wen suddenly smiled, and the trace of hesitation was gone, replaced by unscrupulous viciousness, "Jinchun, today is your festive day, how can you let this kind of ominous woman come in?" You better talk to her less, lest you get contaminated with bad luck. ”
Many ladies who originally had nothing to do with themselves were shocked when they heard the news at this moment. Everyone knows about Tang Xianzhi's proposal for marriage and going to sea to get married, now that this has happened, maybe the Tang family will make any moves, and the court will be affected, but Wen Zhen will inevitably be responsible, right? Although the court will not be happy, the Tang family will not let her go.
So everyone walked away quietly, drinking tea, talking to Wen Jinchun, praising Wen Jinxiang's praise, and expressing their position in various obscure ways.
Mrs. Wen smiled even more happily.
Wen Zhen doesn't look like she is angry, she has never seen the garbage man in general, she can't get along with herself.
Following Mrs. Wen's words, she smiled and said, "Today I originally entered the palace to report to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect to meet the prince's happy event." I just returned to Beijing and the dust has not been washed, so it is really not appropriate to bother here, since this is the case, I will retire. ”
After speaking, he turned around to leave, and then a voice came from behind him, "Stop." ”
Wen Zhen sighed in his heart.
Some people are really cheap.
As if she didn't hear, she continued to walk forward, and behind her, Mrs. Wen waved her hand vigorously, and the two palace maids guarding the door slammed the door.
Wen Zhen stopped, turned his head, and bent his eyes, "Mrs. Wen, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting." Mrs. Wen sat on the steps and looked at her coldly, "You are an official of the imperial court, how can you be so rude." From the moment you entered the door and left, did you forget to salute Liangyuan? ”
"Why should I salute her?" Wen Zhen blinked.
"Liangyuan is the fourth grade, you are from the fourth grade. Shouldn't you salute? Mrs. Wen said, "Or do you want to discuss identity from the Tang family?" A widow who has not been crowned should kowtow. ”
Wen Jinxiang covered his lips and smiled: "Come on, prepare a futon." ”
"It's time to prepare a futon." Wen Zhen smiled, "You, smell the incense, and you, Mrs. Wen." I call you Mrs. to give you face, you two, there is a seal? The women who don't have a seal of edict, why don't they kneel when they see the officials of the court? ”
Wen Jinxiang screamed: "You dare, I am the prince's aunt-"
"When are concubine relatives considered serious relatives? Isn't the prince's aunt surnamed Zhang? Or did you change your last name? Wen Zhen smiled.
Wen Jinchun suddenly smiled and said, "Master Wen." You are a member of the Wen family, my mother is also your elder, I rule the country with filial piety, do you want the imperial history to impeach you and pile up on His Majesty's desk? ”
"Oh don't dare, don't dare, so Sister Jinxiang is here to knock one?"
"Okay, then follow the rules, each according to his own way. Konka gave you a salute, what about you? ”
Wen Zhen smiled, "Me? I'll follow the rules. ”
Wen Jinchun tilted his head and called: "Sister." ”
Wen Jinxiang shook his head and wanted to ignore it - why! If you want to humiliate others, first humiliate your own family?
However, when she came into contact with her sister's eyes, she suddenly shivered.
Those eyes were dark brown, like glass beads in the sun, although transparent, there was no human feeling.
It is more heart-wrenching than all the fierce eyes, like a midnight dream when you open your eyes and suddenly bump into the lifeless eyes of zombies.
She felt in a trance that her sister was different from before, but now she couldn't remember what she was like at the beginning.
The futon was brought over, but she didn't dare to resist, Mrs. Wen wanted to say something, but after hesitating, she didn't say anything. 、
She looked around, and the ladies and ladies turned their heads and talked without concealing it, and they met her gaze directly, with faint ridicule or deep contempt in their eyes.
Kneeling down in such a crowd, she could imagine what kind of laughing stock she would become in Tianjing in the future.
But looking around, he was isolated.
Wen Jinxiang could only kneel.
When I knelt down, I felt humiliated.
It turns out that he is the least important one in everyone's minds.
It's the lowest person who can be driven by a sister's eyes, and her mother won't say a word.
Those glorious scenery are just the light she borrowed, and others can take it back at any time.
How ridiculous it is to want to stab other people by the light of others.
Wen Zhen kept paying attention to her expression, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly.
Wen Jinxiang lowered his head, covering the tears that were about to fall under his eyes, and under his knees was a futon, but in his heart it was like a piece of thorn felt.
The knee will fall on the felt.
Suddenly, someone held him up.
She looked up and was stunned to find that it was Wen Zhen who was holding her.
Wen Zhen smiled gently at her and said, "Sister Jinxiang took me out of Sanshui Town at the beginning, which can be regarded as affectionate, this gift, just get your heart." ”
She smiled, clearly seeing the gratefulness in her eyes.
That's what I want. After calculating exactly what kind of virtue Wen Jinchun is, she will not care about the dignity and life of others.
After Wen Jinxiang felt humiliated and deeply realized her status in the hearts of her family, she let go of her hand. Then the object of hatred of smelling near the fragrance is naturally only his own cold family.
This family enters Beijing, although they are not afraid of what they can do, but they are annoying like maggots, and there is nothing wrong with letting them add a blockage.
She casually pushed Wen Jinxiang to the side and kicked the futon in front of Wen Jinchun.
Wen Jinchun glanced at her and wanted to kick back, but the futon was stepped on by Wen Zhen and couldn't kick it, so she said leisurely: "It's Lord Wen who doesn't want it, not that my sister didn't give you a salute." So since my sister has already bowed, shouldn't Lord Wen also fulfill her promise? ”
"Yes," Wen Zhen smiled, "Kneel if you want." ”
"Do you want to pay off?" Mrs. Wen raised her eyebrows, "A dignified court official, openly denying it, what kind of face do you have to serve in the court again?" ”
"I said, follow the rules." Wen Zhen slowly took out a waist card from his arms and shook it in front of her, "It's unfortunate." I am just in Jingren Palace, and I have already received His Majesty's approval. Promoted two levels, it is now the new agricultural supervisor of the imperial court. From the three pins. ”
“……”
In a dead silence, she leaned over slightly, and smiled at the face under the thick fat powder of Jinchun, "Jinchun girl." You, the fourth product, don't you hurry up and salute the official? Otherwise, as the prince's concubine, you don't know etiquette, aren't you afraid that the East Palace will wash the horse, so you will persuade the prince to divorce you? ”
The ladies who had been shocked for a short time finally came to life at this moment, and the end of the conversation, those who approached walked away, and some people laughed: "That's the reason." Wen Liangyuan, you should salute Lord Wen. ”
was worried that Wen Zhen was about to fall out of favor and would be retaliated against by the Tang family, so they were all indifferent. Now that it is confirmed that Wen Zhenrong is favored as usual or even higher, he naturally has to make a vague statement.
Wen Jinchun sat up straight, facing Wen Zhen's calm eyes, at a certain moment, her eyes turned out to be fierce, but when Wen Zhen was afraid of her, the more fierce she was, the happier Wen Zhen smiled, reached out to her chin, and said coquettishly: "My sister's makeup today is really gorgeous." Monkey butt-like. When he was done, he flicked his fingers and flicked off the stained fat powder.
Wen Jinchun stared at her steadily, and the dark brown pupils seemed to hide a whole vortex, sucking in all the hatreds of the world.
Wen Zhen didn't even see the embarrassed look of being humiliated in her eyes, and sighed in her heart.
There is too much fragrance in Shang Palace, and the brain is burned.
Proper antisocial personality.
She has never been troublesome, likes to overcome rigidity with softness, and does not like to scare people. But Hewen Jinchun is already endless, and a good attitude can't get good results, so let it go.
Her sharp attitude is not because she smells close to purity, but because she warns those wall grasses to mix less.
After a long time, Wen Jinchun tilted his head, stood up, and gave her a salute to Yingying. The movements are smooth and natural, without half a point of reluctance.
Wen Zhen also smiled and accepted it.
Just looking at this scene is quite wonderful, the beauty in heavy makeup and the sweet and soft girl in the daylight look at each other and smile, and the atmosphere is quiet.
Everyone shuddered.
Wen Jinchun finished the salute, as if the previous discord did not exist, and naturally smiled: "Sister, what about the congratulatory gift for me?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and he was as playful as asking for a gift with his own sister.
The crowd shuddered again.
I thought that this attack came unexpectedly.
Anyone can see that Wen Zhen doesn't know about the prince's concubine at all, and he was introduced completely unintentionally, and there must be no congratulatory gifts on him, which is easy and embarrassing.
Wen Zhen smiled very naturally, took out something from his arms, put it on Wen Jinchun's hand sincerely, and said with starry eyes: "Just wait for my sister to ask this." Look, I've brought you the best things in the world. ”
