Chapter 172: Eye-catching
"Look at me?" Leng Mu blushed inexplicably.
"Are you hot? Why is your face so red? Qin Luofei looked down at his flushed face and asked.
"I was tidying up the study just now, and it was a little hot. Qin Cairen, if you don't have anything to do, let's go out first, it's dusty here, I need to clean it. "Leng Mu had to do the work done by these servants in order to attract people's attention in the palace.
Qin Luofei walked past him, he had a pair of slender white and tender palms, and he didn't look like a person doing rough work. Qin Luofei, who was attracted by his hands, forgot to look at the road ahead and bumped into the bookshelf. She clutched her head and frowned slightly.
"It hurts."
"It's okay, I'll see." Leng Mu immediately reached out to help her gently rub her forehead.
Qin Luofei looked at him in a daze, at this moment they were almost close to each other. Leng Mu heard Qin Luofei's rapid breathing, and his gaze shifted from her forehead to the corners of her thin lips.
"Are you still in pain?"
"It's okay, you can let me go." Qin Luofei said and pointed to the arm he was holding around her waist.
Leng Mu's cheeks were slightly red, and he said apologetically: "Talented, I'm sorry, I was also in a hurry just now." ”
"It's okay, then I'll go first."
Qin Luofei left in a hurry, facing the man just now, she felt her heartbeat beat faster inexplicably. She didn't like this feeling, she did the same to Emperor Ming at the beginning, and finally betrayed everyone for this man, but in the end, she didn't end up like that.
"Miss, are you not feeling well? Why is your face so red? Qin Luofei returned to the Grass Hall and sat on the swing, and the picture with Leng Mu just now appeared in his mind.
"No, I'm just feeling a little hot." Qin Luofei withdrew the lie, lest Xi Ju ask him.
Xi Ju brought a fan and carefully helped her fan.
Qin Luofei closed her eyes slightly, and the light penetrating by the leaves sprinkled onto her wide clothes, fluttering.
Xi Ju was beside her, and she was also a little drowsy.
A delicate little palace maid walked in from outside and saluted Qin Luofei.
"Qin Cairen is auspicious, the concubine Niangniang invites talented people, and goes to Jinse Hall in the afternoon to gather."
Qin Luofei opened her eyes and was slightly stunned, why did this skid suddenly invite her to go?
"Go back! Go back to your house and say I'll be on time. ”
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Since she invited her, she naturally wanted to go and see what tricks she could play.
Seven days have passed today, and it is estimated that her face can be seen as well.
"Miss, are you really going?" Xi Ju was a little worried.
"Go, why not." Qin Luofei is already ready, and she will not be stupid to dry her cold concubine, and she will not be stupid to attack herself in her own palace, what else is there to be afraid of.
In the afternoon, Qin Luofei only took Xi Ju alone and went to Jinse Palace.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the palace maids of the Jinse Palace shuttling endlessly.
originally thought that this woman only invited herself, but she didn't expect her to invite several concubines in the palace.
What is this woman doing today?
Qin Luofei entered the inner room, and seeing that Concubine Shu and Luo Cairen were also present, Qin Luofei couldn't help but feel a little more cordial.
After all the concubines arrived, Concubine Leng signaled to Concubine Shu. The things that can allow them to sit down and negotiate together are probably only the things that Emperor Ming ordered.
It turned out that Concubine Shu discussed with Concubine Leng and decided to draft a girl, which was also Emperor Ming's will.
Before the draft girl, invite the few remaining concubines in the palace to come together to discuss how to draft.
Qin Jieyu had a reluctant look, and when the newcomer came, it was inevitable that she would rob her favor.
Not to mention Qin Jieyu, the rest of the concubines naturally didn't want to, but the emperor had already spoken, so he had to follow.
In the past, the draft was the affairs of the Queen Mother and the Queen, but now the Queen Mother has long ignored the affairs of the palace, and the Queen has been vacant, and the concubines have to contribute.
"I called the sisters here today for only one purpose, that is, everyone can get along in harmony, so that the emperor will be busy with government affairs and worry about us." When Leng Guifei said this, she was blinded by Concubine Shu.
In the harem, she has always liked intrigue the most, but now she still has the face to stand up and say such things.
"Concubine Leng Guifei, to make a long story short, the concubines in the harem still have their own things to do." Concubine Shu immediately interrupted her words.
Leng Guifei glanced at Concubine Shu very reluctantly, and continued: "Concubine Shu, I just said ugly things to the front, lest some people not know the height of the sky and go against the emperor's wishes. ”
Qin Luofei only did what he couldn't hear.
Anyway, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth.
Leng Guifei continued: "The palace has nothing else to say, I just hope that the younger sisters will unite and set an example for the concubines in the future." ”
Leng Guifei is a woman who likes to do enough superficial work, but behind the scenes she likes to plot against others. There is still anyone in the harem who doesn't know her nature, except that the status of the concubine is equal to her and dares to speak out like this.
Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan glanced at each other, both of them couldn't help but laugh, but they couldn't show it.
"Sister Qin, are you much better?" Luo Ziyan said in a low voice.
Qin Luofei took Luo Ziyan's hand and whispered, "My sister is much better, sister, are you still coughing?" Does Imperial Doctor Lin's medicine still work? ”
Leng Guifei's gaze swept to Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan, and saw the two of them muttering in a low voice, I don't know what they were talking about? There was a faint displeasure in my heart.
"Qin Cairen, have you been locked up in the Huicao Palace for too long and forgotten the rules of the palace. Bengong is discussing the draft with the sisters, but you are muttering to Luo Cairen, are you dissatisfied with the decision of Bengong and Concubine Shu, if there is anything, you might as well say it, and Bengong and the sisters should also listen to it. ”
"Guifei Niangniang, don't you gather all the sisters today, don't you let the sisters speak freely? Sister Luo and I were just discussing that lady was like a flower and jade, and that lady was outstanding, and we didn't say anything else, and asked the concubine to be Mingjian. Qin Luofei was neither humble nor arrogant, he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Luo Ziyan was smiling secretly beside him, but it was not easy to show it, it was really uncomfortable.
Leng Guifei was angry, her face was red, and she couldn't say anything? only hated and said: "Sister Qin's speech is getting more and more fierce, no wonder the emperor has always valued Sister Qin?" ”
Who in the palace didn't know that the emperor had been very indifferent to Qin Cairen recently, and it was clear that he was ugly for Qin Cairen.
"The concubine praised it in seconds, and the concubine didn't dare to be ashamed." Qin Luofei did not refuse to come in a good mood, and choked Leng Guifei angrily.
Concubine Shu saw that Leng Guifei was aggressive towards Qin Luofei, and she was very dissatisfied, and interjected: "What Qin Cairen said is very true, the concubine has been respected by virtue, in this draft, we must select concubines with both virtue and appearance to fill the harem, so that the emperor's heirs can reproduce, you said that Leng Guifei." ”
Qin Luofei saw Concubine Shu interjecting, so she naturally stopped speaking.
Leng Guifei had always known that Qin Luofei and Concubine Shu were wearing a pair of pants, and the two of them teamed up to deal with her, so she was naturally not an opponent, so she had to endure it.
I wanted to damage this woman, but I didn't expect it to be them teaming up to deal with me. She hasn't settled accounts with her about the rash on her face?
"Concubine Shu is in charge, this palace is pregnant, and she can't handle that kind of heart, but Sister Qin and Sister Luo are not involved, they are very leisurely, why don't you let Sister Qin and Sister Luo help Concubine Shu run the draft?"
Leng Guifei has a vicious tongue, and she really doesn't let go for a moment.
Concubine Shu frowned, looked at Qin Luofei, and saw that Qin Luofei's face was indifferent. Leng Guifei deliberately revealed Qin Cairen's scars, and Concubine Shu was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it and fall for Leng Guifei's tricks. She's pregnant now, and if something happens, she could be charged with attacking the Dragonborn.
"Sisters, you are all scattered! Bengong and Concubine Leng still have something to say. ”
When all the concubines saw Concubine Shu speak, they all retired separately, leaving only Concubine Shu and Concubine Leng Guifei.
"Concubine Shu, when will the draft girl start, since the emperor handed over this matter to you, have you already arranged it?" Leng Guifei asked.
"I have already instructed this matter to continue, and the draft will start in three days, and the current primary election of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can only do the second election." Concubine Shu saw Concubine Leng Guifei's eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was planning? This woman is always restless.
Leng Guifei smiled: "That's very good, so as not to make Concubine Shu tired." ”
Concubine Shu just said a few words to Concubine Leng and then stood up and left, mainly because she didn't have anything to say to Concubine Leng Guifei.
Qin Luofei returned to the Huicao Palace, there was a false alarm just now, but this time he chose a show girl, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil would arise in the harem. Women have always been very calculating, and there will always be some concubines who fall out of favor after every draft girl. Therefore, the draft girl is beneficial to the emperor, but it is not a good thing for the women in the harem.
"Miss, you said you didn't know that this time it would be the young lady of the mansion who would be selected as a show girl?" Xi Ju felt that the days were going by so fast, and her own Miss drafted seemed to be just yesterday, but now it was the turn of Miss to watch other show girls.
"It's hard to say, I don't have the heart to guess these things now, I have my own concubine in charge." Qin Luofei just wanted to wait quietly for the best period.
She now wants to know the whereabouts of Emperor Yun, if Emperor Ming is not reinstated, she doesn't know what her current situation will be? Will the little princess also live well?
Qin Luofei was pondering, and the little palace maid came in to report and said, "Leng curtain, ask to see a talented person." ”
Cold curtain?
Qin Luofei said, "Please let him in." ”
Leng Mu entered the outer room, saluted first, and said: "Qin Cairen, Imperial Doctor Lin asked me to send tonic medicine to Cairen, although your body is healed, you still need to recuperate." ”
Leng Mu just made an excuse for himself to visit Qin Luofei.
"Help me, thank you, Doctor Lin." Qin Luofei asked Xi Ju to take the herbs.
Ever since the last time they were in Imperial Doctor Lin's study, the two always felt a little embarrassed when they met. Leng Mu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Luofei, only feeling as if he was in a different world, and he couldn't figure out how Qin Luofei felt.
After Leng Mu left, Qin Luofei was still looking at the direction he left.
"Miss, Young Master Leng has already gone away, what are you still looking at?" Xi Ju looked at Qin Luofei suspiciously, thinking that her young lady was so concerned about this cold scene.
"Who said I looked at him." Qin Luofei said angrily.
Xi Ju smiled: "Miss, don't be hard-mouthed, Leng Gongzi is very likable." There are many palace maids who like him very much now. ”
"Oh? And what's going on? This was beyond Qin Luofei's expectations.
"Yes, after all, there are not many people in the palace who look like this." Xi Ju seems to have a good impression of Leng Mu.
Qin Luofei saw that he was tired from Xi Ju's eyes.
