Chapter 237: Maintaining Self-Esteem
On the afternoon of the ninth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Lingxi wore a bright pink dress under the service of lotus leaves and Qiaozhu, embroidered the placket of hibiscus flowers with gold thread mixed with five-color embroidery thread, and draped a tender pink gauze on the outside. A cross bun was tied on his head, and three white jade hairpins of the same set were placed on both sides of the bun, like unfolded bird wings. In the middle of the bun, there is a five-tailed phoenix hairpin made of gold and jade. In the mouth of the phoenix, the ruby forehead ornament is embellished on the forehead of the spirit rhino, which makes the forehead of the spirit rhino more and more white and smooth.
A little gouache on the face, a touch of rouge to moisten the lips, Mule Dai outlines the most popular willow eyebrows in the Dashun Palace.
This eyebrow was painted by Lingxi himself. The wrist was slightly forced, and the eyebrows were slightly higher than usual.
After putting down the eyebrow pencil, Lingxi smiled at the neatly made up man in the water mirror. The person in the mirror smiled back, and his face was already seven points more graceful and luxurious, and three points cold and fierce.
got up, pulled a seven-foot-long water-colored brocade shawl between his arms, and lightly opened his lips, "Go to Deyang Palace."
Lingxi is so dressed up is to go to Deyang Hall to renew the sisterhood with Xian Gui Concubine, after all, she occupies other people's palaces, and there is no reason for her, the evil concubine of the harem, not to come to the door to be hypocritical.
Evil concubine, you must have the appearance of an evil concubine. Whether it is dressed or dressed, it is good to reveal the word arrogance.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to waste the trap that Concubine Ying had bothered to do for her?
Lingxi sneered in her heart, now that she is willing to drill into that trap, it depends on whether Concubine Ying has the ability to close the net!
Without taking the sedan chair, Lingxi walked slowly with more than a dozen minions. When passing through the imperial garden, Lingxi saw Concubine Xin from a distance and took the fourth princess to the direction of the chrysanthemum garden.
Concubine Xin wore a waist palace dress embroidered with willow leaves, and the lily bun on her head was decorated with a lot of gorgeous pearls.
Concubine Xin's position is lower than that of Lingxi, that is, there is no reason not to come forward to ask for peace when she sees it. So she took the four princesses to meet her from afar and bent her knees to Lingxi to say goodbye.
The fourth princess wore a yellow palace dress. At the prompting of the nurse, she also bowed down to Lingxi Fu, and shouted in a milky voice, "Concubine Yingniang is auspicious." ”
The fourth princess is only one month older than the fifth princess, and she is also five years old. looks like a pink carved jade peck, and it looks cute.
Lingxi had a proper smile on her face, and her tone indifferently let Concubine Xin and the fourth princess get up. After holding her hair bun, Lingxi chatted with Concubine Xin for a few words, and the fourth princess pulled Concubine Xin's skirt on the side and said, "Mother, mother, I want to go to Juyuan, I want to go to Juyuan." ”
Lingxi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sarcasm.
The fourth princess is a royal princess, although she is only a princess, but she is also sloppy in her upbringing. noisy in front of concubines who are higher than her mother's concubine, she really doesn't look like a princess.
Concubine Xin's face was also extremely embarrassed, and she squatted down and persuaded the fourth princess with kind words, "Shi'er is good, the concubine will take you there in a while." ”
The fourth princess frowned, pouted, and said, "I'm going now, I'm going now!" ”
The fourth princess was messing with Concubine Xin, and the fifth princess came from a distance. The fifth princess is wearing a bright pink palace dress today, with a waist closed, and she looks much older than the five-year-old. The temperament is also stable, I was obviously very happy to see Lingxi, and my eyes were full of smiles, but I walked in front of Lingxi step by step, and with the blessing of the rules, "Mu'er asks for peace to the concubine." ”
Seeing that the fifth princess was coming, Lingxi replaced the lofty smile on her face with a soft and warm smile. bent down slightly, and helped the fifth princess up,
After the fifth princess got up, she turned sideways and gave Concubine Xin a blessing, and said lightly, "Mu'er asks Concubine Xin for comfort." ”
The concubine with a low status can't afford to be blessed with the princess, and the blessing of the fifth princess has already opened her identity from the fourth princess.
Concubine Xin's face was a little unbearable, although the fifth princess was a princess, her biological mother was a sinner after all, and she was not even qualified to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum.
The fifth princess turned to the fourth princess and bowed slightly, which can be regarded as having passed the etiquette of sisters meeting, and they have not even been blessed.
The fourth princess was angry that the fifth princess asked Concubine Xin to say goodbye as a princess, and when she saw that she didn't bend her knees, she immediately made a little angry face, stretched out her white little finger and pointed at the fifth princess and said, "Your daughter born to a sin woman, why don't you greet this princess when you see this princess?" ”
The fifth princess was shocked by the angry appearance of the fourth princess, raised her little hand and patted her chest.
Lingxi was reluctant, and the pollen face became gloomy because of these words. The palace people didn't have the courage to say such a thing, and when they thought about it, they knew that what the fourth princess said was overheard by the fourth princess when Concubine Xin was chatting with other concubines.
No matter who gave birth to these five princesses, they are now her precious daughters. She hasn't said anything yet, why should she let others make irresponsible remarks behind her back?
But it was the fourth princess who said this, and she was not easy to care about as an adult.
The fifth princess raised her head slightly, and saw that Lingxi had two points of anger on her face, so she lowered her head and said to the fourth princess who was the same height as herself, "Are you talking about me?" ”
The fourth princess snorted coldly, and turned her face away from looking at the fifth princess.
The fifth princess raised her head and said timidly, "Concubine Xin, when was Mu'er born?" ”
Concubine Xin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "The fifth princess was born in the third year of Yong'an, only one month younger than the fourth princess. ”
"Mu'er's teaching and learning are all incompetent, and the mother concubine is weak and can't accompany Mu'er every day. Mu Er has something unclear and has to ask Concubine Xin for advice to solve her doubts. The fifth princess accepted the cowardice in her eyes, straightened her small body, her head was held high, there was no trace of a smile on her small face, and the arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes was fully revealed, "Mu'er was born in Yong'an for three years, and the Zhu family, who gave birth to Mu'er at that time, was the queen of the dynasty and the original partner of her father. Let's ask Concubine Xin, in the three years of Yong'an, who gave the title of Zhu's sinner woman? Mu'er was born first, and Zhu's mistakes were later, how could Mu'er be the daughter of a sinner. ”
Xin Concubine was shocked in her heart, and in the face of the aggressive five princesses, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, and said in her heart, how could these five princesses be so sharp and sharp at such a young age!
The fifth princess took another step forward, her brows were already raised, and there was a cold air on her little face, "Besides, my father ordered Mu'er to serve Concubine Yingniang as her biological mother." Mu Er asked again, Mu Er's mother is a second-class concubine, what is the crime? ! ”
The fifth princess turned her head to look at the fourth princess, and said coldly, "The fourth princess's biological mother is a concubine, and Mu'er's biological mother is a concubine, does Mu'er still want to bow down to the fourth princess?" If Mu'er is okay, can you afford the fourth princess? ”
The fourth princess was so frightened by the appearance of the fifth princess that she took a step back, and looked up at Concubine Xin again and again.
The anger on Lingxi's face was gone, and the eyes of the five princesses were all amazing. That small body stands up with her self-esteem and unyielding as a princess.
Lingxi was sad again, the Zhu family died, but the five princesses she gave birth to had to bear these consequences that she should not have suffered.
Thinking of this, Lingxi's eyes showed disgust, and he looked at Xin Concubine, who was forced to be questioned by the fifth princess, and shouted, "Xin Concubine, you are presumptuous! ”
Concubine Xin knelt on the ground under her legs, already timid. She is not afraid of the biological mother of the fifth princess, after all, it is a dead person. But Lingxi is still standing in front of her alive, and her grace and position are higher than hers, she is really a character she can't afford to mess with now.
Concubine Xin looked at Lingxi and said in a slightly anxious tone, "Concubine Yingniang, the fourth princess didn't mean that. The fourth princess is still young, she is only five years old. ”
"Mu'er in this palace is only five years old." hugged the fifth princess, who seemed to be strong, but was actually trembling slightly, back into his arms, and said with a cold face, "What do little children know, Concubine Xin, don't you even know how to discipline the grandmother in your palace?" The fourth princess and the fifth princess are only one month apart from their birthdays, and they should have been the most intimate. But you let the cheap slaves in your palace chew the root of their tongues behind their backs and teach the four princesses badly! ”
"There are no concubines, concubines ......"
"Isn't Concubine Xin not even able to teach her own princess?" Lingxi raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "If this is the case, this palace will go back to the emperor and change the mother concubine for the fourth princess, so that she can know the dignity and humility in this harem, and the rules and etiquette!" lest you recruit a horse in the future and ruin the royal reputation, and the princesses in this harem are really so ignorant of etiquette. ”
Concubine Xin hugged the four princesses who were so frightened that they were stunned in her arms that she shook her head again and again, "Concubine Ying, the concubine must discipline the four princesses well when she goes back." The concubine knew that she was wrong, and asked Concubine Yingniang to ignore the villain and forgive the four princesses this time. ”
"What can Hongu forgive you? You're not ramming into this palace. Lingxi snorted coldly, don't look over her head and stop looking at the concubine kneeling there.
Concubine Xin hurriedly pushed the fourth princess with her hand and said, "Shi'er, go and apologize to the fifth princess." ”
But the fourth princess bit her lip tightly, her two little hands were twisted together, and there was a hatred in her eyes, that is, she didn't admit her mistake with the fifth princess.
The little head of the fifth princess was raised three points higher, and her eyes were full of contempt for Concubine Xin's mother and daughter.
After half a cup of tea, the fourth princess still stood in place and did not admit her mistake to the fifth princess. Concubine Xin could only pull down her face as an adult, and said to the fifth princess almost in a similar way, "There are a lot of five princesses, don't be like your fourth sister......"
"Who is the fourth sister? Mu'er's mother only has five ......" Lingxi touched the fifth princess's shoulder with her hand, and the fifth princess changed her tone and said aggrievedly, "Will Mu'er's sister do this?" ”
Hearing the fifth princess take the words back, Lingxi's heart breathed a sigh of relief. The five princesses are arrogant, and only the five princes and princesses in the harem can be seen among the young princes and princesses. But after all, they are all the heirs of Emperor Yong'an, if the words of the fifth princess are really said, it will inevitably cause unnecessary incidents when it reaches the ears of Emperor Yong'an.
"The fourth princess will never be like this again, the fifth princess will forgive the fourth princess once."
"Hmph," the fifth princess turned away, pouted, and said in a very cute voice, "Mu'er is not an adult, Mu'er is a villain." But there are a lot of little people in Mu'er, and Mu'er doesn't care about the four princesses......"
Concubine Xin's face showed joy, and she hurriedly said to the fourth princess, "Don't thank the fifth princess soon......"
Before Concubine Xin's words were finished, the fifth princess raised her small eyebrows and said, "But the fourth princess's teaching grandmother and nurse are really too hateful, what crime should they be guilty of teaching the royal princess?!" In order to prevent this kind of thing that hurts our sisters' feelings from happening again, please also ask Concubine Xin to discipline her strictly! If this is Mu'er's teaching grandmother and nurse, the mother concubine must drag them to the violent room and kill them with a cane! ”
