Chapter 19: On the Harem
"It's not too early, let's go and say hello to the Queen Mother," Xia Lanxin said
A few people walked out together without saying anything, but when they got out of the main gate, they met Sikong Ling with a large number of maids
Each of them here only brought two maids and two guards, while Sikong Ling brought eight maids, and the two guards stood out among the crowd
Because they are all concubines, only the concubine Yue Xiaofu has seen the ceremony, and the others are all nodding and saluting
Seeing the ordinary looks, Mu Bingyue knew that this woman with slanted eyebrows and a little domineering should be the daughter of the Lord Protector, Sikong Ling, a strong fragrance struck, just like herself
She is the only one here who has not been sealed, and she is also the smallest in the position, so after the concubine Ying saw the ceremony, Mu Bingyue also gave a salute, "I have seen Concubine Ling"
"You are gathered together," Sikong Lingsheng's Qiongzi flower appearance is just a pretty and unparalleled phoenix, his eyes are empty, and his eyebrows are more full of arrogance
Mu Bingyue didn't get up, and she didn't reply, with a shallow smile on her lips
A cold snort came out from the pretty shaved nose, Sikong Ling raised his sharpened chin, and walked out of the group first
Turning a blind eye to Sikong Ling's arrogant attitude, everyone walked by and chatted a few words, and only when they were some distance away from Sikong Ling did the six move forward
The main road of the palace was very wide, and under the deliberate footsteps of the five people, Mu Bingyue had to take the hands of Xiangzhu and Aunt Chen, walking side by side with them
Among the concubines, she began to form gangs so quickly, and she was a little surprised, and it seemed that this proud girl of the sky was very unpopular
In this large-scale, magnificent and majestic palace, a war that is even more smoky than the battlefield has quietly begun
The inner court is located in the central axis behind the Xuanzheng Palace, the Yangxin Palace, and the Imperial Study, and the inner court is the place where the emperor deals with daily government affairs, and it is also the place where the emperor and the concubine live
Although Nangong Chen has now touched the government, some ministers will still invite the empress dowager when there is a dispute between the courtiers, but Nangong Chen is now crowned, and the empress dowager will completely return to the government when he is married
On both sides of the main road in front of the Deyi Palace, there are white stone pillars of more than 50 meters high, in front of the pillars are two holy beast stone carvings, the main hall is 20 meters high, the red hall is the stone staircase of 20 or 30 meters high, the gate is the glazed wall on the left and right
There is a huge tripod-type incense burner at the entrance of the front door of the entrance apse, the throne in the middle of the hall is hanging on the throne of "Zhengda Guangming" plaque, and this main hall is the place where the queen mother receives the foreign ministers, and the warm pavilion of the left and right places is the place to receive the harem concubines
With the maid leading the way, Mu Bingyue and his entourage went to the right warm pavilion, passing through an inner door, which is the warm pavilion, and there are five doors in front of the warm pavilion, with golden nails and red lacquer carved with phoenix flying clouds
In front of the door, there are two small auspicious jars like white jade, and the jasper, moss, and goldfish in the jar are secluded
After everyone was cleared, Mu Bingyue and the others entered in order
As far as the eye could see, there were six people sitting under the high platform of the warm pavilion
Looks like they're the last to arrive
As soon as he stepped into the house, several rays of light swept onto his body, and his ice eyes looked down, falling behind the five people, and saluted
Originally, the concubines who had no quality and no rank could not go to the palace of the Empress Dowager to ask for peace, but those who were rewarded by the Empress Dowager and served 'sleep' should be treated as a different matter
When the Empress Dowager called a few people, she and the other who entered the palace first greeted each other
When everything was settled, Mu Bingyue sat on the tailseat
After sitting down, there was still a light on her, Mu Bingyue swept away when she was drinking tea, it turned out to be the girl in silk sitting next to the Queen Mother, looking at her, she didn't need to look closely, Mu Bingyue knew that this was the Queen Mother's palm pearl Princess Ziman
Although her gaze was not malicious, there was a faint hint of pickiness in it
Mu Bingyue's mind turned and she quietly put down the teacup
The woman sitting next to her had a faint eyebrows, a slender body, and her clothes were extremely simple, and she thought it was Liu Cainu after living with the concubine, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to have less intersection with her, and now she has been pulled together
She lowered her eyelashes slightly
The Empress Dowager on the high seat has begun to care about the concubines one by one
The concubines all smiled and only got to the side, Liu Cainu got a cold "yes"
“…… You can still live in the palace for a few days."
It's no wonder that the Empress Dowager can't be called, but Mu Bingyue knows that this refers to herself, got up and replied: "Hui Bing, the Empress Dowager, the slave and maid, everything is fine."
For this self-proclaimed that she also consulted her aunt, she became a slave in front of Nangong Chen, and she was afraid that it would make Nangong Chen unhappy, but only this title was in line with the current identity of the Empress Dowager
"En," the Empress Dowager said lightly, "If you don't understand anything when you enter the palace, ask the other concubines for advice."
Mu Bingyue was not surprised by the Empress Dowager's cold attitude, after all, she had quietly given her and Nangong Chen countless cold nails, "Slave maid, remember the Empress Dowager's teachings"
"Yes"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was speechless, Mu Bingyue slowly retreated to the seat
The Empress Dowager talked to the Snow Concubine Nalan Yaxue, who was sitting on the right side of the steps
Nalan Yaxue's face is slightly thin and beautiful, the warm smile on her face is like the first melting of snow in March, and it can be seen from the attitude of the Queen Mother towards her that this Snow Concubine is the most valued by the Queen Mother
On the left side of the stairs is Concubine Mei with a trace of sorrow on her face, Concubine Mei has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has been with Nangong Chen for the longest time among the crowd, but many stunning women have entered the palace one after another, which has made her feel a lot of pressure
Under Concubine Xue, the daughter of Dingbei Hou, Concubine Xi's eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are cut, her eyes are cut, and she is graceful, sitting on the side at this moment, listening to everyone quietly
Under Concubine Mei, the first is Concubine Ying's figure, which is more reduced than the slender Concubine Mei, tall and tall, with a hibiscus lip color, and Zhu Ying, a little as thin as a lilac, but the narrow pupils are obscure, which makes people a little annoyed for no reason
This concubine entered the palace with the sisters of the same clan as Concubine Xue, because she was not favored by the emperor, she only got a concubine, and now the newcomer entered the palace and saw that someone wanted to cross her, and she was dissatisfied
"These days, the emperor is busy with court affairs, and you are in the harem, as concubines, you must also understand the emperor's hard work."
"Yes," the concubines replied
Mu Bingyue's eyelids couldn't help jumping, Du Dao Jiang is still old and spicy, it seems that this one will soon give her a horse
"The emperor has arrived" sang and passed from afar
All the concubines left their seats, and the Queen Mother showed surprise on her face, and then glanced at Mu Bingyue, who stood up with everyone
A bright yellow figure stepped in, swept to Mu Bingyue at the end, and his face did not show a look, and he quickly stepped under the phoenix seat, "Erchen, please say hello to the emperor's grandmother."
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace"
"Purple vine greets the emperor's brother"
"Let's get up," Nangong Chen raised his hand
"Why did the emperor come over at this time," the Empress Dowager motioned for Nangong Chen to sit closer
"There are not many state affairs today, and the excerpts have been approved, so I will come to the palace of the emperor and grandmother."
If you are not busy with state affairs, this is to dismantle the Empress Dowager's platform
A lot of people have touched their hearts, and few of them have seen the holy face in recent months, and most of them have met by chance, and it seems that they have been touched by someone's light today
Although Nangong Chen and the Empress Dowager sat together and gossiped, Mu Bingyue still felt that the two of them were inseparable
Nangong Chen Qingjun's face gathered countless eyes, and Sikong Ling, who was sitting among the crowds, also looked at it quietly, looking at Mu Bingyue alone, with his eyes hanging down inconspicuously
After a nourishing conversation, the Empress Dowager seemed to remember something: "Recently, the Protector came back from Dongjiang and brought back a lot of treasures, so it's rare for you to come here today, so pick some of your favorite ones and bring them back."
Dongjiang, it seems that the sky is already in the bag
Mu Bingyue lowered her eyes lightly and followed the concubines to leave their seats and thank you
Soon, there were a few large boxes in the house, and as soon as they were opened, they were full of light
Seeing that the concubines did not move, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "The shallow skin of the women's family will go up and help them pick some."
The concubines were happy, but Nangong Chen showed a trace of displeasure for the first time, but he didn't say anything and stepped down the steps
A group of concubines slowly gathered around the box
The people on the phoenix throne looked down and sighed silently
In the stunning garden, the person is even more dusty, no wonder Chen'er's gaze is always reluctant to leave her
On the open box, Nangong Chen didn't raise his head, as if he was dealing with an errand, and he distributed things, only when he arrived at Mu Bingyue, he paused, swept his eyes and pulled out a pair of white jade mandarin ducks that could be integrated, and after Mu Bingyue took it, Nangong Chen took off the topaz chalcedony and the auspicious dragon jade pendant around his waist, and hung the other half of the white jade mandarin duck pendant on his waist in public
There was a moment of silence in the hall
At this time, the person sitting on the stage slowly walked down, "The man's family is not knowing the woman's mind, come to Ziman, and help the emperor's grandmother choose together."
Nangong Chen retreated to the side, and Mo Tong quietly swept over Mu Bingyue, who was standing behind everyone
"This conch pearl necklace Snow Concubine is the best-looking"
The Empress Dowager took out a string of flame pattern pink pearls with a round oval texture and put them on for Concubine Xue herself
The flame of light is not only clear from the appearance, but also the halo between the rotation, sometimes fine and soft, sometimes warm and unrestrained, it looks extremely noble, the queen mother chose this noble ornament to follow Nangong Chen, and the moment was rewarded to Concubine Xue, the intention can be seen
Some of the concubines even remembered what the Empress Dowager had talked about in front of hundreds of officials, and they also understood their intentions
"This colorful agate pendant is good, just give it to the purple vine girl"
Colorful agate with its particularly clear texture, particularly bright color and particularly rich and beautiful pattern pattern to win the first agate, it has almost all the colors of nature: red, yellow, blue, green, black, white, various colors and their variations, and the color is particularly bright, extremely eye-catching, beautiful
