Chapter 38: Mu Liran's Fierceness
Wen Sisi on the other side had already driven into the imperial city, and when he arrived at the palace, Wen Sisi got out of the carriage, and there was a eunuch holding the Wen family's token in his hand waiting here.
"There is Father-in-law Lao." Wen Sisi smiled sweetly, her every move was elegant, she knew that this eunuch was her sister, Wen Guifei, who had been sent to pick her up. Today's events are also related to the rise and fall of the Wen family.
Walking to Concubine Wen's bedroom, Wen Sisi saw that her sister was already waiting in the palace.
"Sister." Wen Sisi's sister was trembling a little. How many unknown pains are hidden in her own heart, she can't say, only in front of her sister, she dares to show her emotions a little.
Concubine Wen didn't say anything, just stood up and hugged her sister gently, she knew that her sister had been wronged these days, and this was not the grievance she had suffered.
The two Wen sisters have been treated inhumanely since they were children, and they do not have the pampering of the eldest lady's family, only various trainings that constantly hone their ladylike temperament. In order to maintain their body shape and maintain their faces, all the food and daily life of the two sisters have been carefully calculated, and there must be no slight difference.
And the intention of the Wen family is to send the two to the palace and become the emperor's pillow, so as to promote the Wen family and consolidate the power of the Wen family.
Concubine Wen has been in the palace for several years, but Zhan Ling Xuan is not a thing in the pool, and his actions seem to be romantic, but he is extremely vigilant, and he can't contact the emperor, so Concubine Wen has no way to start. In this way, the Wen family put their remaining hopes on Wen Sisi.
all know that Zhan Cangming holds the power of the army and guards the Qin State. If they marry the prince of war, then the Wen family can have their own big power in this country. Because of this, the Wen family's talents everywhere made Wen Sisi close to Zhan Cangming. didn't expect Wen Sisi to really fall in love with Zhan Cangming, and what she didn't expect was that Zhan Cangming actually married the unfavored third princess of the neighboring country.
"Sister, what should we do?" Wen Sisi stabilized her emotions, raised her eyes, and asked Wen Guifei.
Wen Guifei's bright red lips were hooked upward, revealing a perfectly elegant arc, perfect - as if someone had deliberately adjusted the angle of the corners of her mouth upward, when the gorgeous lips slowly opened, revealing smooth teeth that seemed to be carefully polished with white and flawless jade, it was another extremely perfect gesture.
I saw that the carefully drawn willow leaf thin eyebrows shrugged upward, and the pupils hidden under the fluttering curly eyelashes flashed with a strange light, but mixed with a trace of subtle exhaustion and helplessness that others could not detect: "What our war lord values the most at the moment, obviously, is the woman named Mu Liran, if she wants to win the heart of the war prince, it is definitely not advisable to directly hurt Mu Liran's words, it is better to show her goodwill, leave her in this palace for a few days, we will get along well and convince people with virtue." β
Wen Sisi is not as thoughtful as Concubine Wen after all, hearing the words "convincing people with virtue", she was naturally unwilling, and she didn't think that her sister, who had lived in the deep palace for many years, would become so weak, and the backlog of dissatisfaction and grievances during this time suddenly broke out, and her eyes couldn't help but cry, and she was about to question Concubine Wen, but she was taken the lead by Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen Guifei put some cold fingertips on Wen Sisi's chin, closed the mouth she was about to open, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, her eyes were full of distress, but her mouth was full of mocking and hearty tones, "Yo, sister, what's wrong?" Will there be wind blowing sand into your eyes in the house? It seems that the partition wall not only has ears, but also wind......"
It seems to be just a joke, but Concubine Wen hides the words obviously, Wen Sisi is not stupid, she knows that her sister is afraid of many miscellaneous people during the day, and she is afraid of getting into trouble, Wen Sisi now understands the meaning of "getting along well......
This woman in the deep palace is either bullied by others and inferior in her duty, or she walks on thin ice and ruthlessly solves everyone who stands in her way, and her sister doesn't know what she has experienced for the name of this concubine......
Wen Sisi thought of this, and there was a sour feeling in her heart-
When they were young, they watched other young ladies raise flowers at home, listen to plays, tease birds, and parade the streets, but they were like a machine practicing the same qin, chess, calligraphy and painting day after day, dignified demeanor, in the eyes of everyone, she is a talented woman who envy others in the war of Qin, but only she knows that for this dispensable name, her childhood has countless shadows......
finally grew up, but because his parents fell in love with a person who shouldn't have given his feelings in order to consolidate his power, he obviously liked it, but he still insisted on pretending to obey his parents' arrangements......
Seeing that Wen Sisi was a little stunned, Concubine Wen also probably understood what her sister was thinking, gently held Wen Sisi's weak hand, smiled no longer breathtakingly, and smiled softly and weakly: "Believe in sister, one day, we can do what we want to do." β
"Hmm."
That's a great future......
The golden splendor seems to be covered with auspicious clouds, and the singing and dancing in the hall are leveled.
The singer was wrapped in a lavender silk cloth and wore a lilac ankle-length skirt with clusters embroidered on the edges of the long skirts, and the dark purple with rose-red evening primrose was embedded on the branches of each cluster of nightshade. The singer was draped in a feather robe woven with three or four layers of white yarn, and the thin veil, which was as light as the wings of a cicada, dragged from the singer's body to the ground about an inch long, like a fairy descending to the earth, as if a gust of wind could blow her back to the heavenly palace. The tune sung is even more like a yellow bird, although it is delicate but not harsh at all.
The piano girl is wearing a goose yellow dress with wide sleeves, coiled with the cloud bun, and hangs down a wisp of green silk on the temples, the end of the green silk is still a little curled, adding a graceful and luxurious but elegant atmosphere, tied on the cloud bun, is a rose tassel hairpin made of brass, which is not as large as the size of the girl's little finger cover The tassel is strung together, as the piano girl emotionally strokes the guqin up and down and sways from side to side, the quiet and beautiful piano girl is suddenly set off with a charming posture. The slender and soft beauty fingers can even play a different tone and frequency on one of the slightly taut strings of the guqin, and twenty-one strings are full of tenderness.
The posture of the dancers supporting the home field is even more extraordinary.
Lotus broken steps, like walking on thin ice, light as a swallow, tiptoe gently, every time, is the perfect time to land, the body is as soft as wicker, a good interpretation of the appearance of a woman like water. But this dance step seems to be a bird, weak and can't help the wind, but in fact, every time you lower your waist to a point, you have to use a lot of strength to support it and complete the movements that are not completed in your hands.
The dancing girl's face was even more delicate, and her fair and small face was only slightly powdered, which attracted the dignitaries and nobles to stare at the princes and princes with straight eyesβ
Except, of course, of a man who, though his eyes were almost straight, was staring blankly at the woman beside him.
Mu Liran was a little embarrassed, it was naturally not okay to scold the general of the Qin State in the imperial city, so he could only drag his cheeks with his hands, hiding his flushed face, a little irritable, but in Zhan Cangming's eyes, he seemed to be coquettish, "Look at what I'm doing, look at the dancing girl!" β
After the three long dances were finished, everyone almost satisfied their appetites.
Zhan Lingxuan just wanted to have a banquet, but was preempted by Concubine Wen, "Your Majesty, you see that Princess Zhan is not only brave and good at fighting, but also very pleasing to the prince as the wife of the prince of Zhan, so virtuous and virtuous, why don't you invite the princess to live in the palace for a few days, first, let the princess have a good visit to this huge imperial city, and secondly, you can ask the princess to set an example for the sisters in the harem, maybe you can reduce some disputes in the harem." β
This Concubine Wen is very reasonable, but my heart, can't I see through it?
Mu Liran thought indignantly, directly skipping Wen Guifei's seemingly friendly eyes.
Letting Mu Liran come to the palace is indeed somewhat in line with Zhan Ling Xuan's meaning, after all, his younger brother used to be so cold that he had a feeling of being a little wooden, this has become a person who spoils his wife so much, Zhan Ling Xuan wants to know the reason - but when Zhan Cangming's guy became possessive, he didn't even let others call her woman's name......
Sure enough, Zhan Cangming's originally mild face completely cooled down: "Concubine Wen, I don't think it's necessary, this princess has a straightforward temperament, I'm afraid that if I offend a lady in the palace, it's not good to make this harem even more chaotic." β
Does Zhan Cangming really like that rude woman so much!
Wen Sisi was a little unwilling, but he still smiled calmly and fought against Cangming: "A few days ago, there was a lot of disrespect for the princess, Sisi was very ashamed, and letting the princess come to the palace is also a little meaning for Sisi to make up for the shame, and I hope that the prince will be fulfilled." β
Zhan Cangming was hindered by the bad scene, Tie Qing's face was confined with thin lips, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words: "I think it's time to leave when I'm full." β
The knuckled hand tightly wanted to pull Mu Liran away, but Mu Liran unexpectedly sat on the mat and refused to leave, "Don't hide it from Miss Sisi, I really take your words to me to heart, I will live in this palace and see your guilt." β
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Wen Sisi also greeted him with a smile.
Zhan Cangming just wanted to force Mu Liran to go back, but she rebelled, "Lord Wang, if you really can't help but want to have some ...... with your concubine at night." The joy of fish and water, the concubine body will not be left. β
Mu Liran suddenly showed a shy look, which provoked Zhan Cangming's face to slowly heat up again, Zhan Lingxuan even showed a look of great interest, holding his head and planning to watch the play, and sure enough, Zhan Cangming still compromised, "If you want to stay, you can stay, without you, the house will be clean." β
Zhan Ling Xuan admired Mu Liran even more, dealing with Zhan Cangming's stubborn character, but the method was quite effective.
But in Wen Sisi's eyes, Mu Liran was shameless, such an indecent thing was said in front of so many people, not like the daughter of a powerful family at all.
No matter how dissatisfied he is, Zhan Cangming still only likes Mu Liran......
Wen Sisi felt that she was very pathetic, she had no childhood, and the man she fell in love with had no feelings for herself, but the woman loved by the man she loved was not as good as herself in her eyes......
Her eyes were a little gloomy, but she still pretended to be happy, celebrating Mu Liran's stay.
