Chapter 259: Gift-giving
In a draft, the Fang family selected twelve more beauties to Helian Hongyi to enter the palace, and the highest status was Li Jingyun, the daughter of An Guogong.
It is said that when I was a child, because of my weak body, I got sick at the end of three days, and was named the Bodhisattva in the Baiyun Nunnery, and the name was changed to Jingyun, and the body is getting better day by day, and the behavior is good, and it is also a famous lady in Beijing.
It is estimated that after the name is presented to Helian Hongyi, the title of 'Shuyuan' should be indispensable.
The status of the other twelve beauties is not particularly high, Shen Qing is the daughter of the imperial history, the small family Jasper, and two are the daughters of the county order, but the appearance is really beautiful, the figure is enchanting, and the singing and dancing are a must.
Looking at the twelve show girls who had gone through several rounds of fighting, Gu Banqin sighed faintly, Fang turned his head to look at Gu Banqin, and said with a smile:
"What's wrong with Concubine Xian, looking at these twelve stunning beauties, I don't know how I feel in my heart?"
Now that all the unsuccessful show girls in the hall have been led out by the eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites, only twelve beauties are left standing under the phoenix platform, what Fang said is all listened to, all of them are looking at their noses and eyes, but they can't help but prick up their ears.
Now in the harem, that is, the queen mother and the virtuous concubine have the final say, it is said that the virtuous concubine is the emperor's favorite concubine, the head of the four concubines, and it is rumored outside the palace that this virtuous concubine will be magical, and the emperor will be fascinated and favored the harem.
Now it seems that she really doesn't get along with the Queen Mother, if it weren't for that, how could the Queen Mother say these things to her at this time.
Everyone in the hall held their breath and waited for Gu Banqin's answer, only to see Gu Banqin sit up straight, stretch out his hand to help him on his waist, and a crisp voice sounded in the hall:
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubine was thinking in her heart...... What does the emperor want to eat tonight? Yesterday I asked people to make some snacks, and when the emperor approved the folds at night, he bought a few, and today I have to change the tricks. ”
For Gu Banqin's inappropriate habit of speaking, Fang's is enough, she looked at Gu Banqin, snorted hatefully, and understood the meaning of Gu Banqin's words-isn't it just to show off that the emperor eats and sleeps with her every night at night?
I really don't forget to show off these at any time!
But Fang Clan had to admit that Gu Banqin's answer was indeed beautiful enough, so that Fang Clan couldn't continue to ridicule her.
Fang didn't speak, Gu Banqin got up from her seat satisfied, and the twelve beauties under the Fengtai saw her get up, and they all bent their knees to salute her, Gu Banqin coughed lightly, took out the spirit of her predecessors, and said to these newcomers with a pleasant face:
"Since you have entered the palace, no matter what position you are, everyone is a sister, you must love each other, abide by the palace rules, and you must not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, if you hurt your body, can you hear clearly?"
"Hear me."
Yishui'er's crisp answer made Gu Banqin smile with satisfaction.
Fang listened to Gu Banqin say these words, she almost got goosebumps for her, Gu Banqin, the troublemaker, actually dared to let others not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, abide by the palace rules, and love each other?
I'm embarrassed to say 'physique', you know, the most hurtful physique is her.
However, slander is slander, and the Fang family still didn't dismantle Gu Banqin after all.
"Everyone is tired today, let's go back and rest first, and wait for Zhongcheng to send the name of the rank to the emperor, and after getting the position, then assign another palace."
After Fang finished saying this, the eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites on the side came forward to invite all the beauties to go back to the rooms of the apse of the Splendid Palace, and the attitude of these eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites was naturally much better than in the morning, after all, all the women present were the mothers in the harem, even if the rank was low, it was also a mother, and they could not be neglected.
Fang's Congfeng sat on the phoenix and was helped up by Mama Liu, walked to Gu Banqin's side, looked at Gu Banqin with a smile, with a loving look, Gu Banqin has always had no problem with Fang's family, there is always a smile on his face, he saluted Fang's with a smile, stepped aside, and asked Fang's to go first.
Fang's mood seemed to be very good, his steps were much lighter, and after Fang's left, Liu Wu stepped forward to hold Gu Banqin and said:
"Don't worry, the emperor won't change his mind."
Gu Banqin looked at the catkins, and said in her heart, when did you, this girl, become Helian Hongyi's lobbyist?
Wan Er smiled, then walked off the imperial platform with his skirt, went out of the Splendid Palace, sat in a sedan chair, and went to Lihua Palace.
There were so many people in the palace at once, but it was really lively.
Helian Hongyi arbitrarily titled these show girls according to their status and status, among them, Li Jingyun, the daughter of An Guogong, was named Shuyuan, the daughter of the servant of the Ministry was Baojie, Shen Qing was named Jieyu, and the rest of the identities who were not brilliant were all named Liangyuan and beauties of the sixth grade.
Because this year's show girls are basically all personally selected by the Fang family, so, like the previous session, they are not limited to their identities or whether they have a bed, after assigning the palace, the next day, they were summoned to Cining Palace for a group meeting, and Gu Banqin was naturally dug up from the quilt early in the morning.
Recently, she has always been in a state of not waking up, and I don't know if she has been lazy for a long time, and she is getting lazier and lazier, anyway, as long as there is nothing to do, Gu Banqin can fall asleep on the soft couch.
Wearing thick clothes, I took a sedan chair from Lihua Palace to Cining Palace, and when I went, my brain was not clear, and I was almost frightened by the black head in Cining Palace, and I woke up suddenly, and then I remembered that they were all new show girls who had entered the palace.
The old man of the harem - Xie Zhaoyi, Fang Liangyuan and Du Liangyuan have already come, everyone seems to be very interested in this year's show girls, and they came over early.
When Gu Banqin arrived, the Fang clan had not yet come out of the inner hall, everyone stepped forward to salute Gu Banqin, and Gu Banqin waved his hand, asking everyone to get up and speak.
Li Jingyun, the daughter of An Guogong, was named Shuyuan, and took the initiative to come forward to greet Gu Banqin alone, followed by two more beautiful women, Gu Banqin remembered that it should be Wu Qian, the daughter of Huaiyuan County Order, and Qin Yanran, the daughter of the prefect of Pingyang.
These two are the best among the show girls in this year's show, the kind with the best looks, and they can see that they are also very good at doing things, and in such a short time, they hugged Li Shuyuan's thighs.
Li Shuyuan said some kind words to Gu Banqin, 'Please take more care of each other in the future', and Gu Banqin replied to her with kind words of 'where, take care of each other', and the scene was quite harmonious.
Everyone didn't seem to expect that this virtuous concubine Niangniang, who was demonized by the outside world, was such a casual and uninhibited person.
The atmosphere in the hall was once harmonious, and when the Fang clan came out, this harmonious atmosphere was somewhat subdued.
After Fang sat down, he looked at Gu Banqin and said with a smile:
"Concubine Xian's face is not very good, what's the matter, there is a new sister in the palace, and Concubine Xian can't sleep happily?"
Gu Banqin grinned: "So many sisters are not serving me, where is it that I can't sleep happily." ”
Gu Banqin made a pun, replied to Fang's words ambiguously, and took a deep breath to lift his spirits a little.
Fang's mood was good, thinking that when Gu Banqin had a headache in the future, there was no need to turn everything out now, and when Gu Banqin was anxious, he would naturally have to come to her and cry, and when the time came, he would not be able to ridicule as much as he wanted.
With wishful thinking in his heart, his face became very good.
Gu Banqin looked at Fang like this, and really felt that this woman's life was actually quite simple.
The beauties lowered their heads shyly because of Gu Banqin's words, of course, they entered the palace not to serve Gu Banqin, but to serve the emperor.
Every girl enters the palace with the ultimate dream, and the reason why the dream is wonderful is because she doesn't know when it will come true, but she can illuminate the future again and again.
Xie Zhaoyi looked at these girls who were more delicate than flowers, and sighed resentfully again, what kind of newcomer and old person, what is the difference between her, the old person and the newcomer, if it is about qualifications, even Gu Banqin is not as tall as her.
Concubine De was frustrated, Concubine Shu was imprisoned, and she was the only old man left in the prince's mansion, but what difference does this make, the emperor has always been soaked in Lihua Palace, and other places don't even set foot in it.
I don't know when to get up to the end of such a day, it turns out that there are few people in the palace, and she at least has some hope, but now there is a fresher and more beautiful one, and Shengsheng has cut off all her hopes.
Fang's regular meeting, these new beauties in the palace to encourage them, and then take Gu Banqin to talk about things, without covering it up at all, directly said that everyone wants to take Gu Banqin as a goal, openly and secretly, that is, to work hard, struggle, to win the emperor's favor, it is best to squeeze out Gu Banqin in one go, then it will be very good.
Gu Banqin was drowsy, but when she didn't hear it, she finally stayed up until the end of the meeting, and Fang himself said that he was tired, so everyone knelt down together.
Everyone stepped aside and let Gu Banqin go first, Gu Banqin was not polite, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked out of Cining Palace under the gaze of everyone, his pace quickened, and he thought about going back to sleep before lunch.
But after walking a short distance, he heard a call from behind him: "Concubine Xian." ”
It is forbidden to make noise in the palace, and those who don't know this rule will only be rookie girls, Gu Banqin turned around, and really saw a girl in a powder blue dress running over, it was Shen Qing.
Turned around, stopped, and waited for Shen Qing to run to her, Shen Qing was small and cute, ran to Gu Banqin, smiled shyly at Gu Banqin, and then took out a sachet from his sleeve pocket, with a cyan orchid bottom, and handed it to Gu Banqin.
"Niangniang, this is made by the concubine overnight, please don't dislike it."
Gu Banqin's head is full of black lines, this girl's head is funny, what kind of sachet to give her?
Seeing that Gu Banqin didn't take it for a long time, Shen Qing's face showed a worried look, a small face turned red, and the hands that presented things trembled slightly, Gu Banqin glanced at the catkins, and the catkins stepped forward to take the sachet in Shen Qing's hand and said:
"Thank you."
