Chapter 112: Kunning Palace's Lecture
Early the next morning. She was dressed in a palace attire. I rushed to Kunning Palace early. Concubine Yuan and the five concubines who entered the palace were also all dressed in costumes and makeup. Arrived early in the morning.
The queen's dress is solemn. The body is wearing the queen's dress. But on her left hand. The phoenix seal held by the queen. It is placed majestically. It's terrifying.
When the hour comes. I saw the ceremonial palace people leading the eight palace concubines who entered. It was the queen who gave them instructions. With the prompt password of the ceremonial palace people. Come forward and bow down. Bow down to the queen in unison. gave the queen three bows and nine bows to the national salute. They chanted: "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose.".
The queen took it mildly. Wen Ran said with a smile. Sisters, get up."
And the eunuch led them to salute her. Worship each other at home. She didn't say much. With only a shallow smile, they got up. Look at their faces with smiles like flowers. But her heart has already turned a thousand times. These women in front of me are all civilian women. They all thought they had flown on the branches and made a phoenix. Married to the most honorable man in the world. Even if this man has three palaces and six houses. Even if they don't have the slightest love for their so-called husbands. They flock to it, too. But if she had to choose. If it weren't for the love for that person. She would rather not come into this deep palace herself.
Pensive. Everyone has already saluted Concubine Yuan according to the rules. But Concubine Yuan was not like her to the queen. Immediately they were told to get up. Rather, it was not heard in general. Pick up the teacup. Leisurely sipping. She watched from the side with cold eyes. But it was also expected.
They knelt down for a long time. Neither the queen nor Concubine Yuan spoke. She sat and watched. Naturally, it's hard to say. had to let Concubine Yuan make trouble. Until she felt like she was going to fall asleep. Concubine Yuan then put down the cup in her hand leisurely. Then he suddenly realized: "Look at this palace. Just drinking tea. I forgot that my sisters were still kneeling here. It's all to blame for the queen's tea."
Talking. Cast a flattering smile at the queen's mother. Then. Squinted his eyes and swept away the concubines who were kneeling at his feet. "Sisters, get up."
This is really big enough. She looked at the five women who were slowly getting up. I saw that the five people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The nervous mood does not dare to relax a little.
Wait for everyone to stand still. The queen beckoned them to sit down again. Only then did he slowly open his mouth: "This palace is instructed by the emperor to give a lecture to my sisters. Speaking of it, it's just a few words of instruction to my sisters."
She put down the teacup in her hand. Get up and listen to the training. All the concubines hurriedly followed and stood up. Empress Zhou sat proudly. Squinting and staring only at the jasper ring on his hand. A chuckle on the corner of his mouth. But it is an unspeakable contempt.
The queen cleared her throat. And then he said. All the sisters are very wise. Virtue and character are also of the highest rank. That's what the emperor chose when you first chose you. Now the sisters are destined. From now on, all sisters should live in harmony. One heart and one mind. Everyone works together to serve the emperor. The emperor still has no heirs. All the sisters have to work hard. Strive to have more children. For the royal branching leaves. Extend to future generations."
The people followed the rules. He replied, "Yes."
Speaking of offspring. She thought of her own child again. But from the moment she knew she had had a child. The child has become a scar in her heart. Untouchable. Mention can't. As soon as you touch it, it's bloody. Like a scar. Once reopened. It's a heart-rending pain again. But how can others know about this pain?
She's feeling it. The queen's voice came again: "There are many rules in the palace. Five younger sisters just came in. There must be a lot of unaccustomed habits. What is not understood. Ask the sisters who came first."
looked at her and Concubine Yuan again: "You should also mention them more."
She nodded slightly. But he saw Concubine Yuan with a smile on her face and replied, "Follow the teachings of the queen."
That flattering stammer. Let her retract her gaze.
Then. Ciqing Palace sent a message. Empress Yi'an is unwell today. They don't have to go and greet her again.
The queen looked nervous. Ask the eunuch who told the message." How's the royal sister-in-law?"
The eunuch replied respectfully. Returning to the Queen. When Empress Yi'an gets up at night. Suffered from the wind chill. The Imperial Physician has been passed on. It's fine." The queen nodded. That's a little reassuring.
Abrupt. Concubine Yuan said to Shen Meiren, who was sitting beside her, "Shen Meiren. Come here."
Follow Concubine Yuan's eyes. I saw a clever woman who was stunned. The woman had a delicate complexion. The green silk is coiled into a delicate flying bun. Sideburns hairpin with a tassel hairpin. A scarlet sleeve-colored palace dress lined the face of Fu Fan Shizhu and made it delicate.
This person is none other than Shen Meiren of Changchun Palace. She is also the only show girl selected by the emperor himself. Although the women's positions in this draft are not high. But this Shen beauty is the one with the highest score among all the show girls who have entered the palace.
Concubine Yuan looked at Shen Meiren with a smile. The complexion is calm.
And Shen Meiren naturally couldn't guess her intentions. Only to walk in front of her. One prostration. Concubine Yuan looked up and down. Ouch." The screaming is non-stop. Everyone looked at her in bewilderment. She was also puzzled. Only frugal eyebrows smiled lightly.
I saw Concubine Yuan snort coldly: "In the end, the emperor personally chose the person. You see. Sister Shen's bright and glamorous appearance. It's not like you're going to hook the emperor's soul."
She was shocked. Concubine Yuan's words. can push Shen Meiren to the cusp. She secretly felt pity for Shen Meiren in her heart.
But Shen Meiren didn't look half nervous. But it was very useful to praise Concubine Yuan. Nor face sleeves. He asked curiously, "Is what Concubine Yuan said true?" The emperor really likes his concubines."
The queen also smiled. Full of affection: "It's natural. The emperor's vision is naturally not wrong."
"Then borrow the auspicious words of the queen mother and Concubine Yuan. The concubine's sisters all said that the concubine was beautiful. I will definitely be able to get the emperor's favor."
As soon as the voice fell. She couldn't help but gasp.
No matter how beautiful she is. He was personally chosen by the emperor again. But he is so simple that he has no scheming. But she doesn't know how to tolerate a modest woman. She sighed slightly. but he did not speak. My heart trembled slightly. A wave of pity rose up like that.
Empress Yuan obviously didn't expect her to reply like this. A hint of imperceptible cold and complicated emotions flashed under his eyes.
And the other show girls sitting upright. His eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule. There is even a bit of pity.
But that Shen beauty is still complacent. Concubine Yuan sneered and sat back in her seat. And no longer pestering her. ordered her to sit back. The queen casually took a few sips of tea. A few more casual remarks. All the men of this life are scattered.
