Chapter 38: The Phoenix Throne (2)
Oh, my God! Lin Yuan suddenly discovered something, she was so angry that she wanted to rush up and rip off Shangguan Li's purple gold crown.
Ah, why would this woman Shangguan Li always use such despicable and disgusting means!! She roared inwardlyβ
These days, she has fallen in love with tourmaline, a treasure from Siam, and the gold and silver hairpins on her hair bun are inlaid with various colors of tourmaline, which is a characteristic of this thing, and the colors are mixed. Then she also had the idea of using two colors of pearls as a step shake. Not only the hair bun, but also the top of the clothes are made of rice beads and precious stones to make tassels, and when you walk around, they emit a five-colored light, which is very smart and dazzling.
After a long time, all the concubines in the palace followed suit, the tourmaline was brilliant and exquisite, and even the emperor often praised her for her ingenuity.
Of course, all this was before Empress Shangguan came back.
Now there is a queen in the ......
Shangguan Li, who has a bright crown and six palaces, now uses the most rustic red gold jewelry, and chooses the most rustic purple gold crown in the red gold.
Oh, my God...... The biggest embarrassment of female stars in the 21st century is to hit their shirts, once they hit their shirts, the difference in the beauty of the two people is immediately apparent. However, the most terrifying thing is not the shirt, but the photos you take in a gorgeous evening dress, which is not as good as the selfie in a nightgown and cape that people casually post on Weibo......
Lin Yuan is really dying of anger now. This kind of annoyance is far better than Shangguan Li's deliberate staring at the six princes and snatching the green head card last night...... She remembered that in her previous life, the mistress of the president of the company's North China region was a division manager, and the woman had been very miserable by her, but she still couldn't get angry - the color of the woman's clothes was very strange, picking dark green, purple and the like, and the more others dared not wear it, the more she liked it. And she dressed like that and won the "Best Image Award" of the head office every year.
It's this kind of powerlessness that you can't do at all, you can only get angry! Shangguan Li looks better than others even if he is plain! No matter how clever she is and how hard she dresses, she is not as good as her! This is a natural face, and it is a fact that she cannot change after crossing over! What's more, her original body in her previous life was not as good-looking as in this life.
Men are not stupid. Tuoba Hong has been looking at Shangguan Li for a long time, and he can immediately find this subtlety, and he can really realize how big the gap between Shangguan Li and Lin Yuan is.
In the long run, Lin Yuan's situation will only become more and more difficult.
She really didn't expect that Shangguan Li's competition for favor would be able to do it to this extent.
Others are not as concerned about her appearance as Lin Yuan, but they haven't noticed this for the time being. It's just that a few concubines enviously commented that the queen's appearance is even more beautiful than three years ago.
Everyone chatted for a long time. At this time, a Gao Ronghua approached the queen with a smile on his face, serving tea and pastries to the queen with his own hands, and bending over to serve him wholeheartedly. Qi Chengyu Qi Ronghua said to Lin Yuan disdainfully: "They are all noble daughters from the family!" Ahh......h
Lin Yuan asked absentmindedly: "Aren't there still concubines in the Lintoe Palace who are good friends with Niangniang, where are they...... Hmm, there seems to be a Zhuang Ji surnamed Feng......"
Qi Chengyu stared at her: "Zhaoyuan Niangniang still doesn't know?" Feng Zhuangji died of illness a few months ago! "The unfavored concubines die silently every year, even if no one assassinates, sometimes there is no imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the disease, and then there are people who treat them harshly, wouldn't it be easy to die.
"Oh!" Lin Yuan was stunned.
More concubines had fun in front of the two princes. Twins are a rare thing, even if they are not for the sake of greeting, they are all curious, at this time, Liu Jieyu pulled a little boy's sleeve and said: "Niangniang, let me guess, this is the Third Highness, right?" The emperor hugged it just now! The Fourth Highness has always been held by his mother! β
Emperor Changning couldn't help but step forward, covered her mouth and snickered: "Mother Concubine Liu is so boring, just now my father and emperor called the three highnesses 'Zhang'er', of course you can guess ......" At this time, the emperor on the main throne laughed, got up and hugged the two princes, and let them turn around twice.
Circle......
After the turn, Liu Jieyu was dumbfounded.
Empress Shangguan was about to explain, but saw Concubine Jing step forward and salute with a smile: "The third prince's tooth is missing one, and the fourth prince is missing two." Mother, right? β
"Hahaha!" Tuoba Hong laughed: "You're right! But Concubine Jing, now that both of them are teething, how can you identify them when their teeth are all grown in the future? β
The hall burst into laughter. Someone begged the queen to quickly tell her how to identify them, and Empress Shangguan laughed for a long time before saying, "Actually, they look too similar, and there is really no obvious difference...... To hide it from you, it is not uncommon for twins in the world to not even be able to distinguish between mothers, and in the past three years, don't you know that I am also very sad......"
Distress......
Her helpless sigh made everyone laugh again.
"Isn't there a birthmark?" A concubine said.
Shangguan Li pursed her lips and smiled: "No." However, although there is no difference in appearance, the three princes are more calm, and the four princes are quick to do things - in fact, the three princes are lazy and the four princes are impatient. β
Everyone laughed and laughed, and then they took the queen's words to heart, but they were still very worried - how could the difference in personality be seen at a glance? When the time comes, when I meet the two highnesses, it will still be a problem to salute and greet him.
Shangguan Li also understood this, so he said: "In the future, their clothes and ornaments will be different, and the palace people accompanying them will also be different, so you can distinguish them." β
"Your Highnesses are dressed the same today, just to tease us!" Gao Ronghua quipped at the right time.
There was laughter in the hall, and Lin Yuan followed everyone to laugh and look at the two little princes, but she was secretly attentive in her heart - if there is no difference in the appearance of the twins, it is impossible, if there is no birthmark, there should be a mole, right? Others can't tell the difference, and the biological mother must know some kind of trick.
But Empress Shangguan didn't want to tell everyone, only using future clothes and jewelry to distinguish ......
Yes, since she came back from the queen, how many people's eyes have been fixed on the two twins. Whether it's to seize the throne or to protect yourself, it's always right to keep a hand.
After that, it was just tea and laughter, and on the first day of meeting Queen Shangguan, everyone didn't suffer any trouble. Soon, when the emperor sat down for a while and took the lead in leaving, Shangguan Li also ordered the concubines to disperse.
Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi walked together.
Along the way, Zhao Zhaoyi whispered to her about the difference between the queen and three years ago: "You also had a-for-tat confrontation with her at that time, I'm afraid you know her character better than me!" So spicy one...... It's surprising that it's quiet now. Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak, she sighed again: "Alas, you say, what does she want to do?" β
I have to say that Zhao Zhaoyi's question is on the point, she doesn't ask Shangguan Li why she changed her personality - maybe she has never exposed her true nature in front of everyone, and her previous publicity may not be her nature.
All she cared about was what Shangguan Li was going to do.
Lin Yuan wasn't ready to answer her, and went back to the palace without saying a word.
The next day, the queen summoned the head of the six bureaus and the female officials of each palace, and it was a busy day. The phoenix order and phoenix seal used in the palace were originally in the hands of Concubine Jing, but because of the canonization of the queen, when the queen did not return to the palace, the queen mother personally took back the things, and finally handed them over to the queen herself. This is a rule of etiquette, Concubine Jing is unwilling and unable to delay, and she has nowhere to show her intention to take the initiative to please the queen. The handover was peaceful.
Seeing that the queen had begun to diligently inquire about the affairs of the six palaces, Lin Yuan and the three of them did not dare to slack off, and straightened out the account books and books in their own palaces, and prepared to wait for the queen to summon them. In the past, Lin Yuan was an assistant to Concubine Jing, although Concubine Jing had the title of manager, her waist was not too hard, and she rarely had the feeling of superiors and subordinates in her previous life under Concubine Jing in the past two years. But this will be the queen in charge of the palace - people are justifiably mothers in the world, and their concubines have to report to her, even if you don't accept the rules in your heart, you have to do enough.
Zhao Zhaoyi and Concubine Jing have their own thoughts, but they are both settling accounts in the palace and preparing for the queen's assessment - to put it bluntly, they should quickly sort out what they have done in the past two years and make up for the loopholes in the accounts. For Lin Yuan, it is difficult for her to manage everything in the field of finance and accounting, but she is the most blind of the three-
She had to translate the accounting entries in her hand into something that the queen could understand!
From the moment the emperor decreed a month ago, she knew that it was time to do it. However, after the establishment of the world, the world was turbulent, and during this period, she was also restless, thinking about more important things every day, and the account book was delayed again and again. When the queen summoned the female officials of the palace, she didn't dare to wait any longer, and worked day and night.
And so it went on for another two days. On October 20, Zhao Zhaoyi came to Yuzhao Palace to sit down, and discussed with Lin Yuan how to deal with the queen's audit: "...... At the beginning, in order for Changning to marry well, I searched around for news, and inevitably moved some silver...... However, the deficit was quickly made up. You're the best at keeping accounts, do you think the queen will find out about me......"
Lin Yuan smiled: "Such a simple matter, what is my sister worried about." Hmm, you were in charge of purchasing, right? Did you directly move the quantity of cloth, jewelry, and medicinal materials, or did you deduct the purity from gold and silver? Show me the ledger, and I'll have a solution for each of them. β
Zhao Zhaoyi was relieved when she heard this. The two of them had their heads stuck together, talking in a stumbling manner.
Just when the two of them had done their homework to deal with the queen, on October 14, the fourth prince fell into a cold.
It didn't matter - but that night, the fourth prince developed a high fever, and finally a small cold turned into a cough.
The queen stayed in the Changxin Palace and took care of her young son behind closed doors, and everything was put aside. Tuoba Hong also anxiously stayed beside the four princes, and all the imperial doctors in the palace were summoned over, and the Changxin Palace was overturned. In the end, Imperial Doctor Liang was worried that the four princes were congenitally deficient, and they would be infected if they were not careful, and for children, coughing would be fatal.
