Chapter 47: The Five Concubines
"Oh? Why? Du Yiyi knew that Aunt Liu, who came from the queen's palace, naturally couldn't see these talented people, but she was still a little curious about this.
"This He Cairen was originally the palace maid beside Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen, she can be generous, who knows that she is a person who does not miss the kindness of the master, one day Concubine Chen went to the imperial garden when the emperor went to the palace of Concubine Chen, I don't know what method was used to confuse the emperor and spoil her, if it weren't for Concubine Chen's kindness and generosity, where would she be able to keep her life, and she could still carry a talented person!" Aunt Liu glanced at He Cairen in disgust.
Du Yi nodded and was silent for a moment before she asked, "Aunt Liu, I heard that there is a lady in the palace who is pregnant?" ”
"It's Xi Shuyuan." Aunt Liu replied.
"Then Aunt Liu will take me to meet later, and those Shuyi Shurong Zhaoyi Zhaorong Niangniang!" She has seen the third concubine, but she has not seen the five concubines, since she is going to marry Ning Zhiyuan, these people have to see.
"Yes!" Aunt Liu is not in a hurry to teach Du Yiyi etiquette, and it is good to let her see the manners of those ladies and learn more.
The things that Lu Xiangxue let her bring into the palace were divided into several levels, the ones given to the queen's three concubines were all superb, but the ones given to the eight talented people were sparse and ordinary, and the gifts for these five concubines were also precious.
Mother Xu took out all the gifts for the five concubines, and used five trays for the five palace maids to carry, Du Yiyi checked her dress and makeup, and then took a group of people to the five concubines' residence.
Under the queen is the four concubines, and the concubine position has been vacant since the death of Concubine Su, so there are only three concubines, and there are nine concubines under the three concubines, and the emperor only lifted five, called the five concubines, and the following are talented people, and there are only eight, and the remaining four vacancies in the five concubines are stared at by these talented people, and the vacant concubine position in the three concubines is also stared at by the five concubines.
If you give birth to a dragon son and a dragon girl, you must be promoted, let's just say that Concubine Su, who has returned to heaven, was raised to the concubine position after she was pregnant? Although several princes of the emperor have grown up now, Xi Shuyuan's prince cannot participate in the battle for succession, but Xi Shuyuan's mother will be more expensive by then, and now almost everyone outside the palace agrees that today's Xi Shuyuan must be Concubine Xi in the future!
I have been looking forward to this opportunity for many years, Xi Shuyuan is extremely filial piety to the fetus in the womb, and there has been no happy event in the harem for many years, and the emperor is also particularly happy about it, it can be said that now Xi Shuyuan and his big belly are the most conspicuous in the harem, and Xi Shuyuan is not like those helpless talents, her father Xi Zhengai is the governor of the metropolitan governor's mansion, the official residence is from a product, and he holds the real power of the military department. This Xi Shuyuan has nothing to do with Du Yiyi, but Xi Zhengai and Shen Ke are subordinates of their bosses, and she is now going to see Xi Shuyuan because of etiquette and closeness.
Xi Shuyuan's residence is a little far away from Fangfei Palace, and it just so happens that the three aunts are teaching Du Yiyi how to walk and how to walk in order to be a dignified lady.
The three aunts are not people who can be vague casually, Rao is Du Yiyi is uncomfortable talking, they still continue to train as if they were not listening, but they also hold the words of the eunuch in their hearts, and they don't dare to make a mistake to Du Yiyi, just mention it softly, this walk is the first step, and it is also a step that Du Yiyi must learn.
When Du Yiyi walked outside Xi Shuyuan's Jingqing Palace and breathed a sigh of relief, she was already sweating, and Mother Xu was afraid that it was inappropriate, so she immediately wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Although it is still a few meters away from Jingqinggong, the laughter in Jingqing Palace has reached the ears of several people, Du Yiyi is Xi Shuyuan's junior according to her current identity or future identity, even if Xi Shuyuan may be only a few years older than her, she still has to comply with this generation, so she stopped outside Jingqing Palace and let the palace maid of Jingqing Palace enter to report.
The news that Du Yiyi entered the palace early this morning has already spread in the palace, Xi Shuyuan has been three months pregnant, the emperor has not been out for many years, and he is doubly concerned about Xu Shuyuan's belly, not only mentioning the use of Jing Qinggong, but also exempting her from going to the queen's palace every day to ask for peace, except for the current Xi Shuyuan who only goes out for a walk when the weather is good, most of the rest of the time is spent in Jingqing Palace waiting for the day when the child is born, Jingqing Palace is now the scenery, Several other idle Shuyi Shurong Zhaoyi Zhaorong will also come here to sit, and it is Luo Shuyi who is in Jingqing Palace today.
It's already late autumn, but Jingqing Palace is full of spring, but the flowers of all colors, just say that the warmth of this room makes people feel as if they are in spring and don't know the autumn cold. As soon as Du Yiyi entered the main hall, she saw Xi Shuyuan sitting in the middle of the high hall, her three-month-old pregnant belly was already a little obvious, plus the nutritional intake was too much to nourish the head, and the figure that should have been Miaoman also looked bloated, perhaps in order to cover up the bloated body, even in the warm room, Xi Shuyuan was still wearing a lotus green bucket pattern icing on the cake and a silk crane, which happened to hide the bloated and fat body in the clothes. Xi Shuyuan combed her hair with a flying fairy bun, because she was pregnant, she didn't have to go out, and she didn't bring any jewelry, but she had a pink and white pile of yarn silk flowers pinned to her bun, although the gorgeous face had become fat because of the drowsiness of pregnant women, and her eyelids were also a little edema, but it looked very moving, although she didn't apply powder, but the two blushes on her cheeks that represented health also added a little color.
Emei is not depicted with green mountains, red lips are not cinnabar red, although it is a little fat, but this natural carving is fresh, but it is a different purple. And Luo Shuyi, who was sitting on the side, was dressed in a light green silk double-walled cloud goose palace dress, with a yellow floral pattern embroidered gold satin tunic around her waist, and a phoenix wings spread out on her head and six sides inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures and bright gold.
When Du Yiyi came in, the two were laughing and laughing, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"Yiyi has seen Shuyuan Shuyi Niangniang!" Du Yi is blessed with a blessing.
"This is Miss Du? It's really a person who is a water spirit! Xi Shuyuan smiled.
Luo Shuyi on the side also echoed and praised: "What a beauty!" ”
Du Yiyi only praised her face, you must know that she is now fat and fat, and the beauty of this era is thousands of miles away, she smiled and said two words of thanks, and asked Mother Xu to present the two gifts.
"Two mothers, this is a little careful, please smile!"
Xi Shuyuan opened it and looked at it, and said a few words of heart, so she asked the maid to put away the things.
"You are new to the city, I should have come to see you, but my body is inconvenient, and you are still tired to come to see me, I really don't want to go, you are so hearted, come! Come forward! ”
Du Yiyi has heard that pregnant people, even if they are vicious, they will become kind and benevolent, Xi Shuyuan She heard Lu Xiangxue say that she was originally a ruthless character, but now it looks like her eyes are soft and not fierce at all, Du Yiyi knows that she will not be embarrassed to know, so she walked forward boldly with confidence.
"This is my greeting gift to you." Xi Shuyuan held Du Yiyi's hand, and slowly took off a jade bracelet on her wrist to put on Du Yiyi's hand.
"Xie Niangniang!" Du Yiyi didn't dare to have a physical shirk with Xi Shuyuan at this time.
Luo Shuyi smiled sideways and took off the jade pendant on her waist: "I didn't prepare for this, and I can't lose my courtesy, I think, this thing will be used as a meeting gift for you!" ”
Du Yiyi will be Princess Rui in the future, it must be a common thing to enter the palace, and it is also appropriate to have a good relationship now, and it will not be abrupt to accept this meeting gift at this time.
"Yesterday, when the emperor was here with me, he also said some good things about Yiyi, and I have always wanted to be close to Yiyi, but this body is really inconvenient, just when you are here today, just sit for a while, I go out less now, and pull my sisters and sisters to talk to me every day, they are all annoyed with me!" Xi Shuyuan affectionately took Du Yiyi's hand, and the maid on the side hurriedly brought a chair and let Du Yiyi sit next to Xi Shuyuan.
Luo Shuyi smiled, raised her eyebrows and said: "Where will it be annoying to talk to my sister, I am afraid that my sister will be too noisy to annoy me, and I am afraid that my sister will rest!" ”
The emperor, a pregnant body, this is the most sensitive word for women in the harem, but Xi Shuyuan said it with a smile, and also talked about the four concubines among the five concubines, which is very obvious.
This woman who has nothing to do, I'm afraid that she is fighting like this every day! Seeing that Luo Shuyi is also smiling, it is really amiable, but Du Yiyi's heart is cold, every day her sisters and sisters scream, but she is calculating all the time in her heart, these people!
Xi Shuyuan held Du Yiyi's hand and said, "Speaking of which, my father is still a subordinate of General Shen!" The two of us should be closer and closer! ”
"Lord Xi is a minister respected by my brother, and he will often talk to Yiyi!" Du Yiyi knew that Xi Shuyuan would definitely mention this matter, and she had been prepared for a long time.
