Chapter 108: Entering the Palace Draft (3)
"Charter?" The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and said expressionlessly, she pulled the corners of her mouth slightly: "You kid, didn't the draft regulations be set early?" When the show girls meet in person, and according to the performance of these show girls, I and Fang Guifei will settle down and it's over. ”
The queen gritted her teeth secretly, she raised her head and said with a forced smile: "Queen Mother, where are you talking about this?" As a queen, how can I be lazy about the draft? How to choose this show girl, I am bound to say a few words along with it. ”
The Queen Mother shook her head: "What are you talking to me here?" You still don't understand what the emperor means? She glanced at the anxious queen and said slowly, "You can rest for a few days." I didn't want you to be too ugly outside, so I summoned you to the temple, and let you meet us with us has already given you some face. If you hadn't done that kind of thing, how would you be in such a field now? Do you think you can easily get things to light up with a few words? ”
The Queen Mother pointed to Her Royal Highness's quiet Jinran: "Even if someone else agrees, my wife will not agree for this Jinrui County Lord!" ”
Jin Ran knew that this was just an excuse for the queen mother not to let the queen interfere, and she bravely met the queen's resentful gaze, anyway, now that the queen has a grudge against her, she is so careful that she loses the Sheng family.
The queen was even more angry when she saw Sheng Jinran looking at herself like this, her hands clenched and clenched in her sleeves, and she almost stood up and was about to leave, but thinking of her own departure, wouldn't the draft be the world of the concubine, she sat back again, drinking tea silently alone, and didn't plan to speak.
The queen quieted down, and the other concubines were also silent, after all, the atmosphere in the palace was really not relaxed now.
The Queen Mother didn't feel the tense situation in the palace, she smiled and said to Concubine Fang who was sitting at the bottom: "It's not too early, right?" It's less than half an hour before the draft, let's get to Chuxiu Palace quickly. ”
Fang Guifei smiled and helped the Queen Mother up: "It's windy outside." Queen Mother, why don't you just sit here and ask those show girls to come to my palace, and you can save yourself from moving again. ”
The Queen Mother's body is not very comfortable, and she doesn't like to move in the past day, and she is used to being lazy. And there is also a distance from Chuxiu Palace to Fang Guifei's Yikun Palace, and the Queen Mother doesn't like the sedan chair to be tossed around, so such a distance is really a challenge for her.
Therefore, the Queen Mother was a little moved when she heard Fang Guifei's words, and she said slowly: "This is a little wrong after all, right?" Drafting in Chuxiu Palace is a rule set by the ancestors. For the sake of a woman like me, make an exception......" but she didn't say a word of refusal after all.
Concubine Fang Guifei felt the Queen Mother's thoughts clearly, she reached out and patted the Queen Mother's well-maintained hand gently, and gave the Queen Mother a reassurance: "Queen Mother, you are the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the world." These show girls are also half of your daughters-in-law, and they should be filial to you now! And the ancestors' cases are not all dead, but they are just choosing people from another palace. Could it be that there is something wrong with it? ”
The Queen Mother pretended to refuse a few words, but was blocked back by Concubine Fang. In the end, the Queen Mother had to pat Fang Guifei's hand lovingly: "You girl, you are the most sharp-toothed." Okay, I can't tell you, then let the show girls come to Yikun Palace. ”
In one sentence, the location of the draft was changed. Concubine Fang was secretly proud, she quietly lowered her eyes and glanced at the queen mother, the queen's face was pale, obviously angry. The draft in Chuxiu Palace is a rule set by the ancestors, but if you really change the place to choose, the queen has no opinion. But if you want to change to Chuxiu Palace, how should people outside see themselves? If you really change the place, you have to change it to your own palace, what is it to change to Yikun Palace? Spread the word about how the queen should be?
But Fang Guifei's words are indeed reasonable, the Queen Mother is indeed not very healthy, what is wrong with changing the draft palace room to let the Queen Mother move less? Rao is the queen, and if she wants to find something wrong for Fang Guifei, she can't pick it out. The queen wanted to say that she would simply go to her palace for the draft, but when she thought that her palace was far away from Concubine Fang's Yikun Palace, it was even farther away from Yikun Palace than Chuxiu Palace. Isn't that vexatious?
No matter how resentful the queen was, the place for the draft was set in Yikun Palace.
Concubine Fang instructed Bai Mo, who was standing in the corner, and said, "Concubine Bai, you go to Chuxiu Palace and bring those show girls, they should also be packed up now, and it is not too late to let them go back to Chuxiu Palace to live when the meeting is over." ”
Bai Mo slightly blessed himself and signaled that he understood. Fang Guifei looked at the neat and neat Bai Mo with satisfaction, and she praised the Queen Mother: "This Bai Concubine is a rare neatness, this draft is really thanks to her for contributing to me on the side." She is careful, and she keeps everything in my heart, saving me a lot of things. ”
The Queen Mother also smiled on the side: "I have also heard a little about this, they all said that there is an ice beauty in the palace, and she doesn't like to talk in the past day, but she is a very simple and neat person, and the emperor is also very good at serving." This Bai Mo mourning family looked at it as the most top-notch of the concubines who had just entered the palace. ”
When the queen heard this, she hated it even more, so she glanced at He Luoyi, who was cowering behind her. is also a newly attacking concubine, how can Bai Mo on Fang Guifei's side be favored by the emperor and the queen mother, but He Luoyi next to him is not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
After He Luoyi entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor for a few days with her unique charm and charm, she was thoughtful, but there was a jealous aunt like the queen, Fang Guifei did not shelter He Luoyi, He Luoyi was protected by the emperor at the beginning of the palace, but after a few days, the emperor's interest faded, and the queen began to deal with He Luoyi.
What is a few catties of charcoal short, a few months less. These are all small things, but they are greasy enough, and in a few days, He Luoyi tossed a lot of weight, she is still young, even if she is talented, she still can't fight the queen who has been in the palace for so many years, so she can only pinch her nose and admit it, and she has been on a team with the queen since then.
Seeing He Luoyi behind her shrinking her neck and not saying a word, the queen hurriedly spoke for her: "Queen Mother, tell Luo Yi and Concubine Bai to go together." Both of them are new to the palace, so they can take care of each other when they go together, and let me, an indisputable niece, learn something. ”
The Queen Mother said lightly: "Didn't you say that you should let You Gui and Lord Jinrui and Ran Ran play together?" Why are you going to Chuxiu Palace again at this time? ”
He Luoyi didn't speak when she heard the Queen Mother's faint mockery, but buried her head lower, while the Queen pretended not to understand, and kept pushing He Luoyi outside.
The queen mother saw that the thin He Luoyi let the queen push out like this, and she also felt a little pity for her: "Okay, noble He, you go with the white concubine." Bai Concubine does things neatly, and you just need to learn. ”
He Luoyi still didn't speak, and after Xu was like a careful bow to the Queen Mother. The queen mother remembered the things that the queen had done to He Luoyi in the palace, and she was quite unbearable, but she just waved her hand and did not pursue her etiquette, this child has suffered enough, and now she is a little frightened.
There are hundreds of show girls, many of whom are just sixteen or seventeen years old, and with their arrival, there was also a burst of girl's chirping outside the palace, and the sound of warblers and mandarin ducks made the people in the palace feel better when they listened.
Bai Mo walked in, and she saluted everyone: "The show girl has been brought, a total of four hundred and thirty-seven embroidery girls, and now they are all outside the Yikun Palace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "Then let's start now." ”
Jin Ran didn't expect that she would be able to be on the draft field, she thought that she was going to help Fang Guifei at most. Jin Ran looked at Fang Guifei for help, and Fang Guifei nodded appeasedly towards Jin Ran.
Fang Guifei asked the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, this draft is about to start, are the girls also going to retreat?" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand indifferently: "What to retreat?" Let's take a look. Come on, prepare two chairs for the girls behind the screen. "Jin Ran and Song Ran are not married after all, so it is appropriate to cover them with a screen.
Coincidentally, the sisters of the Zhang family accounted for more than half of the first batch of show girls, like Zhang Qi, Zhang Zi and Zhang Yan, who were all familiar with each other, were among the first wave of show girls.
Jin Ran looked at Zhang Qi and the others vaguely through the screen, Zhang Yan and Zhang Zi were fine, but Zhang Qi was depressed, and she didn't have any spirit at first glance. She also had a few golden hairpins on her head that didn't match her dress, and she looked very disobedient. Jin Ran frowned slightly, with such a appearance, Rao is Zhang Qi is as beautiful as a fairy, and the Queen Mother will not like her.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother asked many show girls all over again and did not ask Zhang Qi a word, and even the pampered Zhang Zi was praised by the Queen Mother for her heroism.
This time Zhang Zi is even more proud, she has always thought that she is the proud daughter of the sky, because Bai Mo was sent to the temple for a few days to reflect, but she did not grind down her ignorance of the sky, but because of Bai Mo's absence, she became more powerful at home. Now that the Queen Mother praised her a few words, her face showed a little bit.
The other concubines are all human spirits, how can they not see the thoughts of a little girl like Zhang Zi? The ladies of this family came out, even the stupidest ones didn't know the height of the sky like Zhang Qi. The concubines and concubines glanced at each other, and they all laughed in their hearts, if such a girl enters the palace, will the bone marrow be sucked dry?
The Queen Mother didn't see the color of the concubines and concubines, she nodded with satisfaction: "You all go down, go back and have a good rest." You'll have to stay in the palace for a long time. ”
Batches of show girls came in and went out, Jin Ran listened with interest at first, but listening to it for an hour or two was not interesting. She was bored and had to lie on the small table in front of her, Song Ran on the side covered her mouth and laughed quietly when she saw Jin Ran so lazy, she smiled, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Lord Jinrui, why did you lie down?" She asked Jinran in a low voice.
Jin Ran touched his nose embarrassedly: "I'm the most idle person, I love to go out for a while in the past day, it's really embarrassing for me to stay in the house for so long." ”
This Song Ran was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? Lord Jinrui, you also like to hang out? Me too! I love to run horses and take boats, and I can stay in the boat all day! But the ladies I know are all out of the door, and I think there's something wrong with me! ”
Song Ran said it funny, and Jin Ran was also amused by her: "Is there something wrong with you?" If there is something wrong with a good-looking lady like you, wouldn't I be terminally ill? ”
After saying that, the two laughed together. Their voices were not loud, so no one outside noticed it, Jin Ran took the lead in stopping the laughter, she put an index finger to her lips and gently "shhh ”
"Yes. Yes. Song Ran muttered to herself, and she suddenly smiled: "The pronunciation of your name and my name is the same, which shows the fate of you and me." ”
