The first time Lingxi saw Concubine Ren was on the tenth day of the tenth month of the fifth year of Yong'an.

Since Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling slipped tires successively, Lingxi became the concubine who was most fortunate to be summoned by Emperor Yong'an. For a time, the six palaces were favored, and no one was invincible. Empress Zhu also exempted the harem concubines from the errand of asking for peace, and specially recited the Buddha in the Buddhist hall in the Weiyang Palace, saying that it was to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the royal heirs.

Therefore, in his spare time, Lingxi took lotus leaves and bamboo to wander in the imperial garden.

On that day, Lingxi just walked into the chrysanthemum garden, and saw Ren standing among the flowers in the chrysanthemum garden. Concubine Ren was wearing an emerald blue waist-cinching half-arm tight-fitting Luo skirt, snow-white and jade-like arms, and a three-zhang long brocade shawl draped over her shoulders. The head is tied with a high peony bun, in addition to its pearl and jade gold ornaments, and two brilliant golden chrysanthemums are obliquely placed on the left sideburns.

Concubine Ren is fifteen years old this year, which is the age of a flower. Because it is of Otsuki blood, its face lines are resolute and the water chestnut is distinct. The bright eyes are not as gentle as the unique gentleness of Dashun women, and the eyes reveal a bit of unruliness. The eyebrows have been cultivated into heroic sword eyebrows, the nose is firm, and the corners of the lips are slightly drooping with rouge-dyed red lips.

Such a concubine, when she doesn't laugh, she has three points of fierceness, and when she laughs, she has three points of ridicule, and her face has a lofty attitude.

Lingxi never thought of having deep contact with this Renfei Niangniang, so she wanted to leave as soon as Renfei found her. But who knew that when Lingxi was about to turn around, Concubine Ren had already turned her head towards her and walked slowly in her direction......

Lingxi's position is lower than that of Concubine Ren, so naturally he can't avoid it anymore in this situation. So Yingying walked in front of Concubine Ren, and said with a blessing, "Guangyang Palace Yilan Hall Yingjieyu, see Concubine Ren, Concubine Ren's Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

When Lingxi greeted Concubine Ren, Concubine Ren was holding the fan in her hand and fanning lightly. After looking at Lingxi for a while, he said in a cold and arrogant voice, "Get up." ”

Lingxi got up, and naturally looked at the concubine who came from the big moon with beautiful eyes.

Compared with Concubine Ren's cool dress, Lingxi is much thicker. Dressed in a concubine red placket embroidered with a hundred flowers and a tight-fitting waist Luo skirt, and a cape of aqua blue dark brocade - it is late autumn now, and the weather is already very cold.

His hair bun is only a casual palace bun, and two beaded flowers that are not outstanding, which is slightly shabby compared to Concubine Ren's dress.

Concubine Ren looked at Lingxi enough, and said in a cold and arrogant voice, "I heard that you are the emperor's favorite concubine?" I didn't see anything special. ”

The corners of Lingxi's mouth provoked a smile, but he didn't admit or deny it, but only turned his voice and replied, "The queen mother and the emperor are the couple who have a deep relationship. ”

Concubine Ren raised her eyebrows lightly, and called a grandmother in a red palace dress behind her to ask a few words softly, and after the grandmother retreated, Concubine Ren showed a trace of impatience on her face, and muttered in a low voice, "Husband and wife talk about husband and wife, what do you say about husband and ......wife."

Although Concubine Ren learned to speak the words of the Dashun Dynasty in the second year of the Great Month, she still knew little about the transformation of the Great Shun, and many of them did not understand.

Lingxi is mind of the ninth turn, and as soon as she heard Concubine Ren's muttering, she understood why this Concubine Renfei was unwilling to have more contact with other concubines. The difference in language and chemistry makes it impossible for this Dayue princess to dissolve into the harem of Dashun.

Concubine Ren turned around and said to Lingxi, "This palace asks you if you are the emperor's favorite concubine, why did you go to the queen?" ”

Lingxi was stunned by Concubine Ren's question, and then replied with a smile, "The emperor loves all the sisters in the harem the same. ”

Seeing that Lingxi refused to answer directly, Concubine Ren immediately raised her sword eyebrows, with a three-point anger on her face, "Don't you understand what Bengong said?" ”

Lingxi was asked by Concubine Ren and had a headache, if she replied that she was the most favored concubine of Emperor Yong'an, it would be a pet and a pet. But if she said that she was not the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Ren would definitely ask who was Emperor Yong'an's favorite concubine. At that time, no matter who she says, she will be called jealous.

Concubine Ren has the entire Dayue Kingdom as a backer behind her, and Queen Zhu doesn't dare to do anything with her easily. Lingxi has no power in the palace and no power outside the palace, so he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will be grounded for three months.

She thought that this concubine was a master with an idea in her heart, but now she looks at this is a young man who doesn't understand anything!

"Hui Renfei Niangniang's words," Lingxi thought to herself for a long time, and finally replied, "The rain and dew in the harem are all wet, and the concubines can't bear the most words." Afraid that Concubine Ren would catch her and ask her non-stop, Lingxi hurriedly said, "Concubine Ren, Concubine Ren has been unwell recently, and she will go back to take medicine when the time comes." also asked Concubine Ren to forgive her sins, and the concubine retired first. ”

Although Concubine Ren knew nothing about Dashun's etiquette, she also understood that Lingxi was perfunctory to her, so she immediately said angrily, "This palace hasn't finished asking yet, you take that medicine!" ”

Lingxi felt a trace of helplessness in his heart, and only hated himself for what he had to do in Juyuan. I had to say with a blessing, "The concubine knows her mistake, please ask the concubine." ”

"Since you know it's wrong, don't kneel!" Concubine Ren shouted, "As a great obedient second-grade concubine, how can you be despised by a little palace concubine!" ”

A soft smile froze on Lingxi's face, and she looked up at Concubine Ren incredulously.

She has been in the palace for ten years, in addition to kneeling to Xiaohe Empress Dowager, Emperor Yonghe, Emperor Yong'an, and Empress Zhu, how has she ever knelt for others? When he was a slave, he didn't have it, not to mention that he was still the fourth grade Jieyu of Emperor Yong'an.

Lotus Ye looked at Concubine Ren's words as if she was joking, and when she stopped in front of Lingxi, she knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine Ren and said, "Please also ask Concubine Ren to investigate, Yingjieyu did not despise Concubine Ren." Yingjieyu's body has always been weak, and the imperial doctor ordered her to take medicine every day......"

"You little, how can you speak in front of this palace?" Concubine Ren interrupted Lotus Ye's words, and said to Lingxi in a cold voice, "This palace asked Yingjieyu what to say, and Yingjieyu talked about him left and right." The palace did not let Yingjieyu retreat, and Yingjieyu had to leave on her own. Isn't this contempt, is it really easy to bully this foreign concubine in this palace? ”

After Concubine Ren was calculated by Empress Zhu and Concubine Rou two months ago, she has always had a bad breath in her heart and couldn't spit it out. After the grounding was lifted, Emperor Yong'an never came to her Jiyue Palace, and the other concubines had more or less families behind them, and only Lingxi was powerless in the entire harem. She used to be a palace maid, and she didn't have a huge family as a backer in the outer courts. There are no concubines who are too close to it in the harem, and a concubine is a coward.

Even if Lingxi was in a holy favor, she didn't believe that Emperor Yong'an would punish herself, a princess who was related to the relationship between the two countries, because of a concubine who had no power behind her.

She just wants to punish this holy grace Yingjieyu and make an example of the chicken!

Lingxi's silver teeth clucked, knowing that Concubine Ren was going to take a knife on herself. Lingxi finally understood why Concubine Ren walked in her direction when she was far away, and why Concubine Ren always held on to that question.

Lingxi's chest rose and fell a few times, and finally slowly knelt down on the stone road in the chrysanthemum garden, and said in a low voice, "The concubine knows her mistake, and please ask Concubine Ren to calm her anger." ”

Lingxi knew that Concubine Ren's grade was higher than her, and confronting Concubine Ren would only make her more passive.

Concubine Ren saw Lingxi kneeling down obediently, and the corners of her mouth provoked a smug smile. Then he straightened his back, raised his head high, looked down at Lingxi and said coldly, "Yingjieyu despises this palace, and this palace will punish you for two months and be grounded for one month." ”

There was no trace of warmth in Concubine Ren's voice, and anyone could tell that she was not joking. But Lingxi couldn't help it after hearing this, and laughed out loud.

Lingxi smiled, and Concubine Ren became even angrier, "What are you laughing at?" Do you think Hongu is joking? ”

Lingxi raised her head, her watery eyes were full of smiles, "The concubine didn't think that Concubine Ren was joking. But the only people in this harem who can be punished like this are the emperor and the queen. Although Concubine Ren's status is noble, she can't cross the rules and punish her concubines. ”

Lingxi stood up from the stone ground with Qiaozhu's hand, and also pulled the lotus leaf up from the ground, and approached Concubine Ren step by step, "Concubine Ren is neither the emperor nor the queen, but she dares to make such a will to the concubine, I don't know what Concubine Ren's intentions are?" ”

The high-grade concubines in the Dashun harem can only punish the low-grade concubines, and the rest of the real power is in the hands of the emperor and queen. During the reign of Emperor Yonghe, there was no queen in the middle palace in the later period, and Emperor Yonghe delegated his power to Dong Guifei and Cui Guifei at that time, and the status of the two of them was already the same as the deputy queen.

Although Concubine Ren is a concubine from the second grade, but there is a queen in the middle palace, and Emperor Yong'an did not make her a deputy queen, and ordered her to assist in the sixth palace.

Concubine Ren also did this because of the difference in the systems in the harem of Dashun and Dayue. In the harem of Dayue, the high-grade concubines have the right to punish the low-grade concubines by kneeling, slapping their mouths, punishing the month, grounding, and even demotion, and cane punishment.

When Concubine Ren first entered the harem of Dashun, Queen Zhu arranged for a grandmother who knew etiquette and rules to guide her, but Concubine Ren drove out those palace maids and grandmothers, and finally under Queen Zhu's calculations, those palace maids and grandmothers also withdrew to the palace.

"Presumptuous!" Although Concubine Ren didn't understand the rules of Dashun's harem, she also knew that she was afraid that disaster would come out of her mouth. Unwillingly, a slap was thrown on Lingxi's face, and he said angrily, "Then the palace will punish you to kneel here until dawn!" ”

Concubine Ren was born in Dayue and learned martial arts since she was a child. A slap hit Lingxi in the face, and the corner of Lingxi's mouth immediately oozed blood.

Lingxi was beaten so that the beads fell off his head and his hair was messy.

Seeing this, Lotus Ye stepped forward and pushed Concubine Ren violently, and shouted, "The harem rules, the palace maid is not allowed to be punished for making mistakes...... Oops......"

Before the lotus leaf finished speaking, she was pushed into the chrysanthemum garden by Concubine Ren, overpowering a brilliant chrysanthemum.

Qiao Zhu stepped forward, protected in front of Lingxi, and continued with a trembling voice, "The palace maid is not allowed to slap her mouth if she makes a mistake and is punished, not to mention that Yingjieyu is the emperor's own fourth-grade Jieyu!" ”
