Chapter 6: Compliments

The queen and Jianning were gossiping over there, and the concubine here should be the queen mother and said: "No, there are not many Han girls who are so tall, Sizhen is even half a head taller than Jianning, and the concubines have to wonder what she eats on weekdays, how can she look so good!" is not only tall, but also looks good, it is the style and charm of this body, not to mention, it is really like what the queen said, it is our royal character. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Sizhen with more and more pity, and said with a smile: "When I came to the palace last year, the mourning family said that the king and wife of Dingnan are good-looking, and the mountains and rivers of Guilin are wonderful, so they raised such a peugeot girl, you see, this little hand is white and delicate like a shallot, and this face is more beautiful than the peach blossoms in spring, but unfortunately it is a little thinner, and it has to be taken care of." ”

The next concubine wearing a water-red embroidered lotus flag sighed: "It's not, the concubines in the past only said, no one in this palace can compare to the queen mother, I dream of having a little bit of your beauty, who knows that the queen mother entered the palace last year, and said that she was not more worried than when the queen mother was young, and the concubines and others all sighed that the feng shui of the Borzigit clan is good, and the girls who came out are all better than flowers, even Jianning, who was raised in front of the mother, is also exceptionally beautiful, and is glad that Jianning got married. It's finally your turn to come out of the concubines, who knows that there is such a flowery and bony Zhen Gege, hey, it seems that there are a few concubines, and it is very difficult to please the queen mother! ”

The concubine is the concubine Chen of Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, who gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor in March, only sixteen years old, not a few years older than Sizhen, and her beautiful eyes turn when she speaks, and she has a romantic attitude, such self-deprecating words are obviously to please the queen mother.

Chen's opening, those concubines had to praise Sizhen a few words, either praising her appearance, or praising her upbringing, praising her for wearing a flag dress and being more presentable than a Manchurian woman, or praising the great achievements of the King of the South, how much credit to the court, and the straight Sizhen became a fairy figure in the sky and the earth.

Because he is still in filial piety, although he is afraid of the rules of the palace, Sizhen does not wear filial piety clothes, but he still wears a relatively plain one, wearing a flag dress with azure ruyi shoulders, except for the cuffs and neckline embroidered with scattered flower embellishments, nothing else, combing the most common two heads, and only two blue beaded hairpins on the bun.

If it weren't for the big black and white eyes on her face, which were printed as bright and swaying as emerald flowers, I really couldn't see how beautiful she was in the past.

Even so, the compliments of those concubines could be heard by Jianning on the side pouting and sneering again and again.

Seeing Sizhen raise her head and meet her gaze, Jian Ning showed a look of disdain, and heard his parents only say that other children are good, and he was indignant and unhappy.

Sizhen lowered his head.

When she was in Dingnan Palace, she often dealt with her mother and concubines and the women of those noble families, Sizhen did not take the praise of the Queen Mother and those ladies seriously, she had been sick for a long time, if it weren't for the previous good physical foundation, it would not have been possible to get up so quickly, Rao is so, she has been thin to a handful of bones, where is there any Peugeot at all, even the good complexion like a peach blossom is also caused by the early thrush to apply rouge to her.

But the pity in the eyes of the Queen Mother made Sizhen's heart sour, and she wanted to put it on the past, she immediately smiled coquettishly and thanked her, taking this praise and love for granted, and she would not notice Jianning's unhappiness.

It's just that there have been drastic changes in the past two months, Sizhen's temperament has calmed down a lot, and his mind has grown a lot, so he just lowered his head and said softly: "Where is the courtier's daughter so good praised by the Queen Mother!" There are too many beauties in this palace, as soon as the courtiers walk in, just the lady in this palace, they can't see it, in the palace, the courtiers dare to compete with Haoyue for glory with this pearl of rice grains? ! ”

She raised her head, with a layer of tears in her eyes, looked at the Queen Mother, and said with a little emotion: "It is the Queen Mother and all the ladies who are kind and pity the courtiers that will praise them so much, and the courtiers understand in their hearts that they thank the Queen Mother and all the ladies for their good intentions." ”

She left the chair, knelt down again, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and said respectfully: "The courtiers thank the Queen Mother again for her grace to the courtiers. What a courtier's father does is what a courtier should do, and the emperor and the queen mother treat their courtiers so politely, really, really ......"

Sizhen couldn't say it anymore, and her voice turned into a choked voice.

Although Mama Qin repeatedly confessed that she was not as good as at home in the palace, so she must thank the Queen Mother and the Emperor, expressing how lucky she was to be able to become the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother and stay in the palace, but when she thought that all her current favors were exchanged for her parents' lives, Sizhen felt that such luck was actually the biggest misfortune, and she couldn't say any words.

The pity in the queen mother's eyes was full again, she stretched out her hand to help Sizhen, hugged her in her arms, and sighed softly: "My son, pity you at a young age, you encounter such a thing, don't be sad, just think that if your parents know, they will definitely not want you to live a miserable life because of them, even for them, you have to live happily, the emperor has sent someone to find your brother, the rebels can't become a climate, sooner or later your brothers and sisters will always have a reunion." You should stay in this palace with peace of mind, talk to the mourning family, be a companion with the mourning family, just accompany the old woman of the mourning family, and treat the mourning family, the emperor, the queen, and them as your relatives! ”

is obviously a show of favor to his subordinates, but he still said it so nicely, the sincerity makes people feel comfortable, and the warmth is touching.

Sizhen felt a warmth in her heart, and couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother with admiration and thought: The Queen Mother is really unusual, in this palace, she has to learn, but there are too many!

After speaking, Su Mala, who was standing behind the Queen Mother, took the tea and handed it to her, and said softly: "The Queen Mother, take a sip of tea." ”

Seeing the Queen Mother drinking tea, all the concubines got up to say goodbye, and Sizhen also got up with them, but the Queen Mother put down the tea and smiled at her: "They go to theirs, you stay and have lunch with the mourning family, the mourning family heard that you don't need to eat porridge in the past two days, just to make up for you." ”

The concubines dispersed and returned to the palace, and only the queen, Jianning and Gongjing concubines, Duanshun concubines, and Ning Yu concubines, as well as the concubines Ba Shi and Chen who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, were left behind by the queen mother.

"There are still some hours before lunch, the mourning family will talk to them, Jianning will accompany you to the garden, the chrysanthemums have bloomed well in the past two days, so as not to feel depressed in front of the old woman all the time." The Queen Mother patted Sizhen's hand and smiled.
