Chapter 53: The union of the two concubines
Tao Mingzhu was half-bodyed, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and saluted Concubine De.
Concubine De opened her eyes and sat up with the support of Chun Tao.
"Concubine Lan, what are you doing? This palace and Concubine Lan are at the same level, and Concubine Lan is a big gift to the palace, but this palace can't stand it! Concubine De squinted her eyes and looked at Tao Mingzhu.
Tao Mingzhu didn't raise his head, still maintaining his original posture, and said: "Concubine De Niangniang is highly respected, Shuhui and virtuous, how can I compare with others?" The concubine naturally had to salute Concubine De Niangniang to show the concubine's respect! ”
"Haha~" A coquettish laugh sounded, Concubine De half-covered her mouth, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.
"This little mouth is so sweet. Chun Tao, why don't you hurry up and sit with Concubine Lan? Concubine De squinted.
"Don't bother Miss Chun Tao, just sit with the concubine!" Tao Mingzhu smiled and agreed.
Chun Tao didn't move either.
"No need to look everywhere! Let's sit with Hongu and go to Hongu! ”
Concubine De patted the concubine on the vacant seat beside her, and looked at Tao Mingzhu with a smile.
Tao Mingzhu was frightened at this time, and secretly scolded, what a smiling tiger! It's even harder to deal with than the queen!
Tao Mingzhu smiled brightly and said, "How dare the concubine sit with Concubine De?" That noble position is suitable for Concubine De to sit, and the concubine only needs to sit under Concubine De Niangniang and assist Concubine De Niangniang! ”
Concubine De listened to Tao Mingzhu's flattery, with a smile on her face, showing her happiness, but she didn't speak.
Tao Mingzhu secretly clenched the handkerchief, his bones were white, and cold sweat was quietly dripping behind his back.
She couldn't figure out what Concubine De was thinking, and she didn't know what to say again, for fear of hitting Concubine De's wound.
The crowd was silent.
"Chun Tao, go! Make a cup of tea for Concubine Lan! Just use the West Lake Longjing that just came out of this season sent by the housekeeping room last time! ”
Concubine De waved her hand at Chun Tao, and Chun Tao went down.
Tao Mingzhu clutched the handkerchief back and forth, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Niangniang, the concubine is willing to serve Niangniang and serve Niangniang!" Tao Mingzhu raised his eyes, his eyes flashed with firmness, and there was a slight glitter.
Concubine De just smiled, "Let's try the West Lake Longjing that just came down this year!" ”
While speaking, Chun Tao brought two cups of tea, one was placed on Tao Mingzhu's side, and the other was placed next to Concubine De.
Concubine De picked up the teacup, buckled the teacup with the tea lid, blew gently, and then took a sip gently.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Chun Tao, your tea-making skills are good again! ”
As Concubine De spoke, she put down the teacup, took a gold bracelet off her wrist, and handed it to Chun Tao.
"You're rewarded! Take it! ”
Chun Tao held the gold bracelet in both hands, knelt on the ground, and thanked Concubine De for her reward.
Concubine De stood up from the concubine and helped Chun Tao up, "This girl! I told you a long time ago, you don't need to make this big gift, hurry up! ”
Tao Mingzhu looked at this scene quietly, no wonder Chun Tao scoffed at the two silver tickets, there is such a generous master, and the reward is a gold bracelet, what good things have not been seen?
How could Tao Mingzhu's two silver tickets be rare?
However, Concubine De's move was not to show her magnanimity, she did this in front of Tao Mingzhu, she just wanted to tell Tao Mingzhu that following her would have unimaginable benefits!
"Why doesn't Concubine Lan drink it? Is it disgusted that the tea here in this palace is too simple? ”
Concubine De walked in front of Tao Mingzhu and sat down beside her.
Tao Mingzhu was honestly frightened, his eyes were evasive, and he was about to get up and bow down.
"The concubine doesn't dare! Even if you give the concubine ten dares, the concubine doesn't dare! The concubine just saw that the mother was so good to the girl next to her, and she couldn't help but see it! ”
Concubine De took advantage of the situation to support Tao Mingzhu and did not let her kneel.
"It's just a gold bracelet! The palace is still simple here, and it can't be compared with your Tao family, the home of the imperial merchants! ”
Concubine De joked and said, no one knows whether she said this simply to praise the wealth of the Tao family, or whether she meant something and wanted to provoke Tao Mingzhu and Tao Mingyue.
However, Tao Mingzhu and Tao Mingyue don't need to provoke at all, if the relationship between Tao Mingzhu and Tao Mingyue is really as good as the relationship seen by outsiders, and even the emperor's luck can be allowed, then Tao Mingzhu will not appear here in Concubine De at this time.
When Tao Mingzhu heard this, he knelt directly on the ground and cried Yingying.
"The concubine has suffered since she was a child, her mother died, and my father can't remember that there is a daughter like me! In the Tao family, they were excluded and oppressed everywhere, they were not well fed and clothed, and they were even more humiliated. ”
Tao Mingzhu raised her eyes, tears flashed in her eyes, and then turned into teardrops, flowing down her cheeks, like a delicate rose, which only made people feel pity.
"The concubine's life is simply miserable! As for what outsiders see in the eyes of outsiders, it is not the original intention of the concubine, but if the concubine wants to live, she has to be dignified, and she has to endure it to please her sister and wife. ”
Tao Mingzhu continued to cry and lay on the ground, and Concubine De looked at her coldly.
"The concubine wants to get rid of the shackles, she wants to be above those who bully me! Ask the mother to be fulfilled! ”
After that, Tao Mingzhu buckled heavily to the ground, and there was a heavy sound, while Tao Mingzhu buckled on the ground, without moving, waiting for Concubine De's voice.
Concubine De played with her nails and looked at Tao Mingzhu secretly.
This Concubine Lan is still smart, she knows the wolf's ambitions, and if she reveals it, she will not hide it, and directly tell her purpose.
But it's not disgusting, it makes people feel her sincerity and truly accept her.
Concubine De got up, half-bent down, helped Tao Mingzhu up, and pulled Tao Mingzhu to sit on the chair.
"Look, if only there was something to say! Now that you have decided to follow this palace, this palace naturally can't treat you badly! This forehead is red! ”
Concubine De said, and the slender jade hand put on Tao Mingzhu's forehead and stroked it gently.
Tao Mingzhu's body trembled suddenly, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let out a muffled snort at all.
Concubine De looked at her quietly, and ordered Chun Tao beside her, "Don't hurry up and bring me the medicine box!"
Concubine De personally rubbed the ointment on Tao Mingzhu, and her movements were gentle.
"Don't be so reckless in the future! Since it's your wish, how can this palace not help you achieve it! That Tao Mingyue won't be able to jump for a few days! ”
Hearing Concubine De's words, Tao Mingzhu suddenly raised her eyes, her pupils constricted, just like an ancient well without waves, and the meaning was unknown.
