Chapter 388: Spying with Bad Intentions
From afar, Luo Qingluan saw that there were countless gorgeous women in the gate of Fengwu Palace.
The graceful concubines dressed up gathered around and were talking and laughing in the front hall full of flowers. I felt a burst of fat powder aroma from afar, and Luo Qingluan looked at those women, all of them were graceful and beautiful women. Some of them are delicate and beautiful, some are charming and enchanting, some are cowardly and flattering, and more are taking this opportunity to inquire about Empress Wei's condition, and then ask when Emperor Dongwan will come.
These voices fell into Luo Qingluan's ears, and he was even more glad that he would not have such a fate.
In the harem, even though these concubines look glorious on the surface, they are all the identity of the master's mother, and when outsiders see it, they immediately kneel down to ask for peace, busy currying favor. To put it bluntly, it's just a group of poor women who depend on men to survive.
Thinking of the period of time he had spent in North Vietnam, compared to Emperor Dongwan, Emperor Han Xun of North Vietnam was even more than that. The woman who doesn't care about the harem at all, even if she is his favorite concubine, Rou Guifei, is just a tool to pass the time and give birth to an heir.
Looking at Xiao Ningyu, who was smiling beside her, Luo Qingluan seemed to realize the anticipation and excitement in her heart. She may be able to sense it from Xiao Ningyu's temperament, maybe this Dongwan Emperor should be better than Han Xun.
Fortunately...... Luo Qingluan thought of Nalan Ye, but fortunately, Nalan Ye was only good to her. Fortunately, he is not the emperor, he doesn't need three thousand beauties in the harem, he only likes her, this is the love she wants.
"Sister Luo, the queen mother is over there, let's go and sit." Even in front of many concubines, Xiao Ningyu didn't dare to put on a stand against Luo Qingluan. She deeply remembered the fate she had once annoyed Luo Qingluan, and she never dared to commit it again.
"Your Majesty hasn't come yet, the princess still has a little time to prepare, and she will have to perform well later." Luo Qingluan came back to his senses and said with a faint smile.
Today is a critical time, if the 'Legend of the White Snake', which is adapted into a drama, can be liked by Emperor Dongwan and Empress Wei, as well as a group of concubines, then word of mouth will naturally spread. Luo Qingluan has also prepared a book of the words of the White Snake, and will give one to each of these concubines to pass the time when they are bored.
mentioned the acting waiting for the meeting, Xiao Ningyu was a little nervous: "By the way, I still have to go to see the people of the Tongchun Troupe, in case something goes wrong with them and messes up, I can't get around them!" ”
Turning his head to face Luo Qingluan, Xiao Ningyu changed to a pleasing smile again: "Sister Luo, after you go over to accompany your mother first, I will go and prepare." ”
Seeing that Xiao Ningyu was also quite concerned about whether this acting would make Empress Wei happy, Luo Qingluan also felt her apologies to Empress Wei somewhat, nodded and let her go.
Empress Wei, who was talking to the concubines, saw Luo Qingluan in a blink of an eye, and immediately raised a smile on her face: "Miss Luo, come here." ”
Empress Wei raised her hand to greet her with a loving face, which immediately surprised everyone.
This is the queen mother, who has such a big face, when will it be the queen mother's turn to say hello to another person? Following the prestige, the concubines saw a woman in ordinary clothes walking slowly under the leadership of the palace maid, and there was only one maid by her side, who looked a little shabby, but her demeanor revealed a transcendent demeanor, which made these concubines involuntarily feel ashamed of themselves.
Suddenly, the concubines who didn't know Luo Qingluan immediately became a little more curious about her, mixed with a little jealousy, and when Luo Qingluan got closer, she had a delicate and beautiful face, no powder, just some simple clothes on her body, and an ordinary white hosta, which made her stand out from the crowd and stand out from many beautiful concubines.
Who is this woman? Why was he able to get the appreciation of Empress Wei? This is a question that arises in the minds of all concubines at the same time.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Luo? Why did you come at this time? Li Guifei's voice sounded just right, clearing up the doubts of others. A woman with the surname Luo? When did such a character emerge again, not only did Empress Wei treat her so differently, but even Concubine Li Guifei looked at her differently?
For a while, Luo Qingluan didn't even say a word, which made countless concubines jealous and hostile to her.
Feeling a hint of probing in everyone's eyes, Luo Qingluan didn't care about such a gaze. She didn't know how much she had felt before, but now she was already immune, not to mention that she wouldn't have intersected with these women at all, if she hadn't come to Dongwan by accident, she wouldn't even look at them.
"Miss, look at these women, their eyes look like they want to eat people," Xu Lian whispered to Luo Qingluan, obviously she also sensed the ill intentions of these women, "Sure enough, there are many rights and wrongs in the harem, and the more women there are, the more things will happen." ”
"Today is a special time, we are careful in everything, as long as we don't make mistakes, we win." Luo Qingluan whispered to Xu Lian that the purpose of their entry into the palace today was just to promote the legend of the White Snake, although this purpose could not be said in a grand manner, but they had to know it in their own hearts.
"Got it, miss." Xu Lian said, "Don't worry, I didn't see these women, as long as they don't offend you, Miss, I will never make a move." ”
Shi Shiran walked to Empress Wei's side, Luo Qingluan blessed her body, and said with a smile: "I've seen the queen mother, I'm late." ”
As soon as she saw Luo Qingluan, Queen Wei was full of smiles, if it weren't for her emperor Xiao Yuqi to invite this woman to treat her, I am afraid that she would have fallen into the tricks of others by now. became more and more fond of Luo Qingluan, and Empress Wei immediately asked the palace maid to add an extra seat beside her and let Luo Qingluan sit down.
Seeing Empress Wei's actions, the other concubines were angry and jealous, but they pretended to be curious: "Queen Mother, who is this girl?" Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ......"
Although the words were not finished, everyone heard them. As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Luo Qingluan, they didn't know when the prince Xiao Yuqi fell in love with another woman, besides, didn't the prince already have a concubine?
Although she also knew the concubine's thoughts, Queen Wei had always been generous, and she was not angry, and said with a gentle smile: "This Miss Luo is a friend of the emperor, if it weren't for her, the illness in this palace would not have healed so quickly, all thanks to Miss Luo's superb medical skills." ”
What, the queen's illness was cured by this woman?
When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised, when will women also see a doctor, and they will be able to cure the queen's strange disease? For a while, everyone's eyes were a little more puzzled.
Concubine Li Guifei saw the eyes of the other concubines, she knew their intentions, and instead of explaining, she laughed instead: "But isn't it, the queen's sister is right, it's Miss Luo, not only cured the queen's sister's illness, but even my family's heavenly gift was cured by this Luo girl, and the palace hasn't had time to thank her; Miss Luo! I met it today, but I want to thank you. ”
Where can I not hear the jealousy in Li Guifei's words, although she is full of smiles, but Luo Qingluan naturally understands that if Li Guifei seizes the opportunity, she is afraid that she will be eager to teach her a good lesson.
At that moment, Luo Qingluan also smiled: "I don't deserve the gratitude of the concubine, I'm just doing it casually." If the third prince has any health problems in the future, or is sick again, as long as the concubine Niangniang sends someone to find me. ”
What, this woman dares to threaten to rectify her emperor? Last time, she had already made Tianci a ghost, and she hadn't found her to settle accounts, but now this woman dared to threaten her in person, and Li Guifei suddenly hated it.
But in front of Empress Wei, Concubine Li didn't dare to show it at all: "By the way, Miss Luo, I heard Her Royal Highness the princess say that the scene arranged today was carefully prepared by you and her, but is there such a thing?" I don't know what kind of play it is, can you tell us about it first? ”
Empress Wei suddenly remembered something, looked at Luo Qingluan, and asked with a smile: "If this is the case, then the palace is really very interesting." You see that Ning Yu is not seen at this time, she must have gone to prepare. ”
This is the purpose of Luo Qinuan's entry into the palace today, and she said with a smile: "Back to the queen's mother, today's play is the princess wants to make the queen mother happy, so it was specially prepared, the content of this play is the story I wrote, I don't know if the queen will like it after watching it." ”
Hearing this, Empress Wei's eyes lit up: "Miss Luo, do you mean to say that you still wrote this story?" How can you even write a story? ”
"It's just a little interest, as long as the queen likes it, then I'll be happy." Luo Qingluan smiled faintly, "When Your Majesty comes, the drama will officially start, and then I will ask the queen to comment more." ”
"Okay, then the palace is going to feast your eyes." It was rare for Empress Wei to be so happy, and she couldn't stop smiling. She usually likes to listen to dramas the most, but because of her poor health, she can't walk around often, which is a pity. And she is tired of listening to the plays performed by the actors in the palace. Now I heard that it was my favorite daughter and my benefactor Miss Luo, who were together to make her happy, and I felt more and more comforted.
Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Dongwan has not yet come, everyone is chatting casually, Queen Wei has always been generous and gentle, although the concubines are respectful to her, but they are not restrained in talking and laughing. But for Li Guifei, the concubines were a little more in awe, and they almost didn't dare to take her edge.
From the conversation between Luo Qingluan, Li Guifei and Empress Wei, everyone could also see that Luo Qingluan had some identity origins, and they couldn't help but spy on them.
Sun Guiren, who praised himself as young and beautiful and had only been in the palace for a year, pinched the silk in his hand and asked, "I don't know which adult's daughter Miss Luo is, why have I never seen it before?" ”
Before Luo Qingluan could answer, the concubine sitting next to her also smiled fakely: "The queen mother said that Miss Luo is a friend of His Royal Highness the Prince, when did you meet?"
Luo Qingluan didn't want to answer a word about everyone's spying, she was not interested in these concubines, and she didn't want to pay attention to them, let alone tell her origin and let people with intentions snoop on.
casually perfunctory, Luo Qingluan said that she was not the daughter of any adult, her family was small, and she couldn't get into the elegant hall, and then she smiled faintly, no matter how many questions those concubines asked, she didn't speak.
Empress Wei saw Luo Qingluan's reserve, and deliberately relieved her: "By the way, Your Majesty should be coming, why isn't Ning Yu ready yet?" Miss Luo, can I ask you to take a look at Ning Yu and ask her if she is ready, if everything is in order, then come over first. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, then I'll go over and see the princess first." Luo Qingluan got up and was blessed, and finally left these ill-intentioned spies for the time being.
Where Xiao Ningyu went before, Luo Qingluan also knew that in a side hall next to Fengwu Palace, the actors of the entire Tongchun Troupe had come here in advance and waited.
