Chapter 23: The Queen Mother (2)
The Queen Mother had just come out of the meditation room. It was not the palace maid who supported her, but Concubine Rou and Concubine Xiang.
Lin Yuan knelt on one wall and saluted, and when she carefully raised her eyes and glanced up, she saw the filial piety of Concubine Rou and Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Xiang both have children, and the Queen Mother loves her grandchildren and often summons them, so the relationship between the two of them and the Queen Mother is more intimate than that between the Queen and the Queen Mother.
But it's just a kindness on face, and the Queen Mother only values the bloodline of the Tuoba family.
Concubine Rou is still docile and docile, and the appearance of supporting the Queen Mother will make people feel that this is an excellent daughter-in-law; As for Concubine Xiang, Lin Yuan finally saw her today, and she only felt that she was worthy of her reputation, and she was an extremely beautiful woman. Lin Yuan watched from a distance, although she looked a little blurry, she could still see that the woman's flying phoenix eyes were drawn straight into the sideburns from the eyebrows, and the delicate reddish cheeks revealed a charming style into the bones, the body was slender and fit, and the skin looked more and more white against the background of the royal blue gold embroidered cloud smoke skirt.
This kind of appearance can indeed be called stunning, Lin Yuan is already very satisfied with his face, but if he puts himself and Concubine Xiang together, the sense of flamboyance is still a little worse. But Lin Yuan won't worry about this, the most important thing in the harem is beauty, no matter how beautiful the face is, how much can it capture?
Similarly, Lin Yuan also understands that Concubine Xiang can get to where she is today, and she is by no means a person who is a person of color. Suppressing the limelight of three thousand beauties and pampering the harem is not as simple as beauty, right?
Concubine Xiang and Concubine Rou sat down with the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and Fang Yi walked to the Queen Mother to salute.
Concubine Rou bowed her head and said goodbye, and stood beside her without saying a word. Concubine Xiang smiled and said to the queen: "The concubine only cares about Zhaochun these days, but she hasn't asked the queen for a long time, and she also asks the mother to forgive her sins." ”
Lin Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard it. It's good that Emperor Zhaochun has contracted the wind cold, isn't it okay for half a month? Concubine Xiang didn't say anything about snubbing the queen on weekdays, but also deliberately emphasized in this Changle Palace that she hadn't asked the queen for a long time? What she said translated—"Queen, what can you do to me?" ”
This auspicious concubine is really bold. Well, this domineering temperament is also worthy of its name. In addition to respecting the Queen Mother, the concubines in the entire palace are sharp to any other woman. I even heard that Concubine Xiang was a little presumptuous in front of the holy driver.
This woman is an outlier in the harem.
The queen looked at Concubine Xiang's stunning face, and she was not annoyed, and smiled easily: "Zhaochun is relieved when he recovers from his illness, how can he blame you?" Today, the queen mother is here, and she will also feel that you are doing your best to nurture the royal bloodline. ”
Lin Yuan wanted to laugh even more when she heard this. The queen smiled, but she didn't let what she said. No matter how much Concubine Xiang is favored and domineering, does she have the courage to call the Queen Mother "Queen Mother"? The queen is no longer favored, and she is also the only serious royal daughter-in-law.
Concubine Xiang was accustomed to the queen's counterattack, and the smile on her face did not decrease, as if she couldn't hear the meaning of the words, and stood beside Concubine Rou.
The queen mother didn't see the confrontation between the latter concubines, and said lightly to sit down, and some palace people moved the small pestle and put on the teacup.
The queen and Concubine Xiang and the others sat respectfully according to the etiquette, and a loose concubine like Lin Yuan naturally did not have a seat, so she could only stand in the back row and listen to the words of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and others in front.
