Adorned with Xia Palace, luxurious and extravagant, even under the scorching sun, walking in it does not feel hot, but there is a refreshing coolness, the maids wearing palace clothes pass by in twos and threes, there are talking and laughing, the laughter like silver bells spread far away, but an untimely light cough came, the laughter like silver bells stopped abruptly, Zhiwan turned his head and saw a few maids kneeling on the ground to ask for guilt, Zhiwan just glanced at it, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, such a scene is common in the Hou Mansion, even the Sandalwood Courtyard, but it is definitely not as strict as here, It can be seen that this grandmother and concubine are very strict people, and Zhiwan is a little worried.

The Nine Emperor Princes led the way with their heads held high, almost no one would stop him, the little father-in-law guarding the door saw it, glanced at each other, and thought that he didn't know who he generally asked who Zhiwan was, saying that it was the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who gave it, it can be seen that it is not the first time to pretend to be a father-in-law, but in front of the main hall of the Xia Palace, he still obediently stopped, and waited for the father-in-law to go in and tell him, after all, it was in the palace, and the Nine Emperors had Ye Guiyue to protect him, but it also had to be within the palace rules.

Zhiwan looked at him and looked around, a little puzzled, "Isn't the Nine Emperor Princes going to sneak out to play, why don't you leave?" ”

The Nine Emperors glanced at her angrily, and the bottom of his eyes were full of embarrassment to say this, if it weren't for the fact that your prince had slipped away a long time ago, what are you still saying cool words, the Nine Emperors ripped off the father-in-law's clothes on his body, and he changed in an instant, full of royal style, and faintly three points of domineering, not to mention, Zhiwan looked at him, and felt that he was three points similar to Ye Guiyue.

After a while, the little father-in-law came in and asked, "Fourth girl, please ......, eh, Nine Emperor Princes, when are you coming, the slave will go in and report it." ”

The Nine Emperors were already impatient, and they wouldn't let him in, and they would report a fart. It's better to be a father, where to go, just let your father-in-law yell and tell him, the bigger the better, and he dares to go in directly without yelling. The Nine Emperor Princes stepped into the house, Zhiwan followed closely behind, looking at the small body of the Nine Emperor Princes, his back was straight, and he smiled helplessly.

Zhiwan entered the main hall with his head down, and before coming, Qian was repeatedly advised. The rules of the palace are very strict, first of all, without the permission of the nobles, you can't look directly at the nobles, Zhiwan originally planned to take a look at it first, but the room is very large. Swept over at a glance, well, I didn't find who was the main one, there were two people sitting on the first seat, looking soft and charming, dressed up and down, God knows which one is the concubine? It's certain that this is not the Queen, though. Because he didn't wear a phoenix robe.

Before coming, the Qian family made up for the distribution of concubines in the palace to Zhiwan, and now the emperor has four concubines, which is the distribution of nineteen years ago, after the death of the queen, Concubine De. That is, the current queen was promoted to the queen, Concubine Shu passed away when she gave birth to Princess Ankang, and there are still two of the four concubines, the virtuous concubine and the noble concubine.

Zhiwan stepped forward with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and waited for her father-in-law to instruct the two concubines to say goodbye. After the salute, I heard a voice as gentle as water, but it was not said to her, "How can the Nine Emperor Princes have time to come to the Xia Palace in the main palace to play?" ”

The Nine Emperors pouted a little nose, "I'm idle and have nothing to do to wander around, I happened to run into her, so I brought her to greet the concubine." ”

Concubine Xian put down the teacup and said with some surprise, "It is rumored that the four girls of the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion are bold and reckless, and they are not even afraid of the king of Yuejun, they dare to fight, why did they come to my sister's place, but they lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at your and me's appearances, did they bring the wrong person?" ”

The concubine hooked her lips and smiled, glanced at Zhiwan and said, "Raise your head and let the palace and Concubine Xian take a good look." ”

Zhiwan has been staring at the carpet, looking at the peony on it, all embroidered with gold and silver thread, that is called a luxury, this carpet, to say the least, also costs a thousand taels of silver, as if robbing home, well, since knowing that Ye Guiyue can rob the palace at will, Zhiwan thinks that this can be robbed at will, to let people know that they have to vomit blood, just thinking about it, he didn't even hear the concubine speak, the Nine Emperor Princes rolled his eyes, he knew that she was not timid to become smaller, she was distracted, and couldn't help but shout loudly, "The concubine asked you to look up and show her, The ears are not falling out, what are you looking for? ”

Zhiwan came back to his senses, pulled the corners of his mouth, raised his eyes to look at the concubine, a delicate face with a warm smile, as if in March spring, the glass-like pupils glowed with a faint light, the figure is slender, the light eyebrows are like smoke cage fog, the eyelashes are as fine as silk, giving people a feeling of not applying powder and the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, this face is beautiful and jealous, no wonder the king of Yue Jun will be fascinated by her, if they are men, such a face will also move them, the concubine and the concubine think of the painting in the draft that day, what flashed in their eyes, A smart and clever woman, knowing that pretending to be ugly to avoid the fate of entering the palace, unlike when they squeezed their heads, they also wanted to enter the palace, and they had been in the palace for more than ten years.

You have to beware of being calculated every day, beware of falling out of favor, beware of this and beware of that...... The concubine thought about it, and felt that it was a wrong decision to enter the palace back then, she did not regret meeting the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor was not her alone, she also knew that ordinary people were also three wives and four concubines, and there were very few who were favored by their husbands, but at the age of the fourth girl, it was the time to yearn for it, and she should have imagined that one day her mother would be in the world, and she even painted ugly makeup, which made people curious, but with her identity as a concubine, even if she was beautiful, she didn't have that position, and she was self-aware, but unfortunately, creation made people, The king of Yuejun offended the harem concubines, and the queen was even more disgusted with it, the ugly appearance was in the middle, and the queen did not dare to do it too obviously, and the emperor gave the lord of Mingzhu to marry the king of Yuejun, and regarded her as a side concubine, so as to disgust the king of Yuejun, who would have thought that it would be such a beauty, and the temper was not very good, and the king of Yuejun who could be suppressed did not know whether the queen had done a good thing or a bad thing.

When the two looked at Zhiwan, Zhiwan was also looking at them, this is the concubine's bedroom, she was naturally the first to speak, the concubine was wearing a smoky silver Luo flower silk embroidered folded branches and pile of flowers brocade robe, wearing a red gold treasure hairpin on her head, thick peach and plum. Bright and enchanting, the face is hibiscus, and the warbler is jealous.

Compared with the concubine, the elements of the virtuous concubine are more simple, she wears a crescent-colored palace dress, embroidered with the empty valley orchid, the virtuous concubine loves orchids in the palace is famous, it is said that when the draft was carried out that year, when the talent was compared, a hollow valley orchid called Emperor Wenyuan to be convinced, and Emperor Wenyuan rewarded the most concubines with orchids. In the harem, except for the virtuous concubine, the queen, the concubine, and the other concubines don't like orchids very much. One is jealousy, and the other is that Emperor Wenyuan is in his heart, orchids are only unique to Concubine Xian, even if Concubine Xian has been a concubine for more than ten years, the emperor still calls her Concubine Lan.

Bai Bi is flawless, peach and Li Rang is a portrayal of the virtuous concubine, the third prince Ye Xuancheng is from her, and the concubine is the fifth prince Ye Xuanzhi, in addition to the prince, the concubine is also pregnant with a daughter. Princess Moonlight.

Today, the concubine summoned Zhiwan, the main reason is Princess Yingyue, and after looking at it, Concubine Xian went straight to the point and said with a smile. "Sister, the fourth girl is here, if there is anything inconvenient to say to King Yuejun, it is just right to find her."

Zhiwan stood below, a little speechless at Concubine Xian, please, everyone, although she is Ye Guiyue's nominal fiancée. But he hasn't married yet, I don't know how many times he has married a daughter-in-law, and none of them have succeeded, you are so sure, obviously he is him, she is her. It's just that she wants to ask him for something, and people are still not happy, besides, if she has something to ask her for help, it would be good for her father-in-law to tell her directly. Bumpy to listen to the command, I know that I have an urge to vomit blood at night, and it is the first time I have experienced such a begging for help.

Zhiwan thought so in her heart, but looked at the concubine with a blank look on her face, and wondered if the dignified concubine could not do anything and needed to find a little county king, the concubine looked a little like touching her forehead, although she was a concubine, she was far worse than the king of Yuejun, she was not the princess of the county that the king of Yuejun wanted to marry, why didn't she see the reverence, the concubine took two sips of tea, put down the teacup, and wiped the lower lip flap elegantly with the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers. The hibiscus banquet in Princess Liuhua's mansion, because it was held at night, the emperor allowed a few of our concubines to go out of the palace to watch, I heard that the banquet was the county lord of Jining looking for your help, and you asked the king of Yue for help, yes or no? ”

Zhiwan nodded her head, and the concubine said again, "Princess Liuhua sent someone to send the lotus platform into the palace, Princess Ankang got the emperor's permission and performed a butterfly dance, which shook the palace, Princess Yingyue also begged the emperor, and the emperor agreed, but the lotus platform didn't react at all, the kind of incense that can attract butterflies has run out, and the palace is looking for you for this matter." ”

Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief, this is the matter, I didn't say it earlier, I adjusted her appetite for a long time, if it was something else, she really couldn't agree, butterfly fragrance, from her hands, how many you want, but Zhiwan won't agree easily, Zhiwan was about to speak, Concubine Xian spoke first, and said with a smile, "This palace knows that this matter is a little difficult for you, after all, you haven't married yet, but the king of Yuejun acts informally, I heard that he has also been in contact with you in private a lot of times, this little favor, this palace thought, you shouldn't refuse, right?" ”

Zhiwan had a gentle smile on his face and nodded, "Zhiwan won't and dare not refuse, when I heard King Yue Junwang talk about butterfly incense, Zhiwan was also curious, but this incense is quite complicated to make, and people are also reluctant to cut love, if I want it, I must exchange it with the production materials of butterfly incense, Zhiwan feels that it is too troublesome, so I don't want it, if the concubine wants it, ......." ”

Just exchange things for them, there are always the most good things in the palace.

The concubine listened, her brows twisted slightly, she also knew that the butterfly fragrance was precious, Princess Ankang just danced, and the butterfly fragrance was only a little, and the fragrance lasted for a long time, although it was not about being surrounded by butterflies everywhere, but a royal garden, three or two butterflies flew around her, which made the concubines and princesses of the harem envious, and even the emperor's love for Princess Ankang was deeper, which was also the main reason why Princess Yingyue wanted butterfly fragrance.

The concubine glanced at the concubine, although they are the fourth concubines, they have the responsibility of assisting the queen in managing the harem, but it will definitely not be easy to use the spices in exchange for butterfly incense, otherwise the king of Yue County is robbing the treasury for her, and it is the act of robbing the imperial garden, it is obvious that she wants to please the beauty, the concubine took tea and sipped tea, and understood the meaning of the concubine's eyes, in fact, they came to Zhiwan today not only for butterfly incense, but all kinds of strange fragrances, since they can make butterfly incense, is it difficult to make other incense?

These concubines, in addition to walking around the yard to pass the time on weekdays, there is no other entertainment, just love to dress up, easy to please the emperor's love, today Princess Yingyue complained that the butterfly incense is gone, the lotus platform is like a waste, she thought of putting butterfly incense again, Concubine Xian put down the teacup, smiled and asked, "I don't know who the butterfly incense came from?" Several relatively large perfume families in Dayue know it, but no one can mix butterfly incense. ”

Zhiwan looked at Concubine Xian and said with a smile, "Actually, this incense is not called butterfly incense, but butterfly incense, whose hand is the incense recipe." I know it late. ”

Listen clearly, she didn't lie, she didn't say that the incense was not made by her, she said that the incense recipe didn't know who it came from. God knows who made the butterfly incense, and there are many rare incense in the mind, many of which do not know the source, some are slowly improved on the basis of the previous fragrance, and slowly groped out, saying who is the first, but some of them are big, and the people who make incense have a faint smell of flowers, and they are also weak about these fame and fortune.

Concubine Xian nodded. I don't know if it's possible, such a strange fragrance is either from the hermit family, or it has just been developed, so I asked again, "Except for the butterfly incense." Can the king of Yuejun give you other incense? ”

Zhiwan also knew that Ye Guiyue did those things, even if she wanted the moon in the sky, everyone would not doubt that he would definitely go up and cut a piece for her, the butterfly incense was precious, and if she couldn't buy it, there must be other compensation. Zhiwan took off the purse he was wearing, took out a small silver ball from it, there was a plum blossom jade pendant, Zhiwan took it out, and asked in the hall A light and elegant orchid fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Concubine Xian sniffed. There was a hint of longing in his eyes, "This is?" ”

Zhiwan handed the hollowed-out silver bead to the maid, and the maid presented it to Concubine Xian, who looked left and right, and saw that the silver bead had a button. With a slight flick, the silver bead opened, and inside was a pearl-like incense pill, crystal clear, a bit like a fruit, and wanted to be thrown into the mouth, Concubine Xian praised, "What a beautiful incense pill, I only see it in my life!" ”

The concubine also nodded, this fragrance is stronger than orchids, but it is not disgusting, as if it is in a hollow valley, and that hollow valley is full of orchids, smelling the fragrance and knowing the elegant realm, she can't wait to ask, "This fragrance is also from the same person?" ”

Zhiwan nodded, a little embarrassed, Concubine Xian loves silver beads, it can be said that she can't put it down, if she gives it to Concubine Xian, if she doesn't give it to Guifei, it seems unreasonable, but she just has such a one, or plans to make it for Si'er, children are suitable to smell some elegant incense, in the summer, put it on the tree, in the gauze tent, it can also repel mosquitoes, Zhiwan nodded, "It is from the same person's hand, this incense is not inferior to the butterfly incense, the butterfly incense is too ostentatious, and the king of Yue Jun said that it is not suitable for me." ”

The concubine's heart is itchy, as long as you use spices, you can make a call, it's a big deal to buy an exchange, it's really not good, go to the royal incense shop to say hello, when paying tribute, you can bring her a copy, as long as you get the emperor's favor, what do you want, the concubine looked at Concubine Xian, she knew that there was this orchid, Concubine Xian would not disagree, and smiled at the moment, "Sister, the person who blended incense doesn't want to sell incense, but wants spices to call, don't you see?" ”

Concubine Xian looked at the concubine with a smile, nodded lightly, and was about to speak, when a male duck's voice came from outside, "The queen has arrived!" ”

The concubine and the concubine glanced at each other, their eyes were slightly frowned, and they didn't understand what the queen was running to do, but when the queen arrived, they had to get up to meet the driver, and they were busy getting off the first seat, and retreated to the side at night. Is it the incense that the House of Internal Affairs enters? ”

The queen didn't say to get up, the concubine and the concubine were half blessed, and they didn't reply, and the queen reacted, "The two sisters, please get up, see that the palace was attracted by this fragrance for a while, and forgot about the sisters." ”

The concubine and the concubine didn't even dare to say, and then got up, the concubine suddenly shook the silver beads in the sleeve, the orchid fragrance was even stronger, and the queen smiled, "It turns out that the fragrance is wafting out of the sister of the virtuous concubine, yesterday my sister served the emperor, and the emperor was happy, saying that she rewarded her sister with a good thing, could it be this orchid?" ”

Concubine Xian shook her head lightly, "This kind of strange fragrance, how can my sister have that blessing, this is the four girls from the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion who were found by the King of Yuejun, and the concubine is just curious to play twice, the queen please take a look." ”

The maid took the silver beads from the hands of the virtuous concubine and handed them to the queen, the queen was already sitting on the first seat, and the concubine and the virtuous concubine had moved from the first seat to the pear blossom wooden chair below, looking at the silver beads, the queen's eyebrows were lightly raised, looking at the Zhiwan below, who was also called Zhiwan to look up, Zhiwan saw the queen's appearance clearly, not losing to the virtuous concubine and the concubine, but more stern and dignified, and looking at her eyes was not gentle enough, which made Zhiwan a little uncomfortable, but Zhiwan also knew that Ye Guiyue sent pigs at her birthday banquet and her son, That is, the prince who has passed away, the second prince of the emperor today is richer than the second prince, and the second prince who is harmed is punished, but he himself is fine, the revenge has not been avenged, the prince has passed away, Ye Guiyue is still alive, and the queen will be happy, unless the sun comes out in the west.

The queen looked at Zhiwan twice, with a smile in her eyes, but the smile was far away from the bottom of her eyes, "Sure enough, it is rumored that it is better to meet, such a person with a peugeot appearance, but the palace will be embarrassed in the draft, if the emperor blames the palace for doing things unfavorably, does the palace blame you for fooling around or does the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion do it intentionally?" ”

The concubine and the virtuous concubine sat down, hearing the queen's words, the corners of the mouth outlined a sneer, take the king of Yue County, just take the soft persimmon to open the knife, I just don't know if this soft persimmon she pinched or not, the person standing behind the king of Yuejun, it can be said that the king of Zhennan is also counted, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, it is wrong, the queen is eager to eradicate the Zhennan Wangfu, the two of them looked at it with a posture of watching a good show, and they were a little surprised to see the evening calmly, and they were a little surprised. will also be panicked, she is good, calmly so that they all wonder if it is her.

Zhiwan blinked his eyes twice before returning to the queen's words, "Zhiwan has not deceived the queen, in the past, Zhiwan felt that heavy makeup was called beauty, who wanted to scare away the queen of Yuejun on the street, and scared several ladies to cry, Zhiwan began to reflect on himself, and later, the emperor also rewarded Zhiwan with a set of exquisite headdresses and rouge gouache, and Zhiwan has what it is now." ”

The Nine Emperors stood aside, didn't speak, heard Zhiwan's words, a big roll of his eyes rolled, this woman doesn't have to make a draft when she lies, she just opened her mouth, and said that it was to take over the Yuanhou to turn into that, how can it be called that she thinks that heavy makeup is beautiful, but her father did ask someone to send her a headdress, and it is her own business that people love heavy makeup, and today's painting is the same as a ghost, and Ming'er is painted like a fairy, and the father can't control it, and the queen can say that she is not right.

Sure enough, when the queen heard Zhiwan's words, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, she said that, just wanted to see fear in Zhiwan's eyes, who thought that she was not only not afraid of her, but also looked at her with a straight back, the queen felt that Zhiwan was despising her, just like King Yuejun despised her!

Concubine Xian and Concubine Guifei didn't expect that in addition to being beautiful and having a somewhat strange temper, Zhiwan also had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and was a perfect match with the king of Yuejun, and the concubine added fuel to the fire, "It is still a fortune teller of the Qin Tianjian Association, saying that the four girls and the king of Yuejun are compatible, and they are a natural pair, and the queen was in favor of this family affair at the beginning, and the king of Yuejun has really reined in a lot, and I heard that he also went to the door of the Marquis of Dingyuan to apologize in person." ”

The queen's eyes were cold, and she snorted, "He has reined? Why didn't the palace see it, but instead intensified it, robbed the inner treasury of the palace to make amends for the Yuanhou Mansion, and used the rare flowers in the imperial garden to please people, this is his convergence? This palace is suspicious that someone deliberately instigated it, concubine, this palace remembers that you like the pot of scratched beauty's face, and it doesn't seem to be in the imperial garden, right? ”

The concubine's face stiffened, and then she was relieved, Suining Mansion is not as good as Zhennan Wangfu, she went to fight with the king of Yuejun, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, his father told him repeatedly, even if the king of Yuejun is in the middle of the road, the emperor loves him again, just because he is a little like the first queen, he has tied the imperial rope, but was torn off, which shows that there is no chance with the emperor, rather than beware of him, it is better to beware of those princes, it is best to be able to follow the hands of the king of Yuejun to eradicate them, she can benefit from it.
