Chapter 294: Five-Tailed Phoenix Hairpin
An Xiaowan called the imperial physician Wang to go to Chen Jieyu's Ningxiang Pavilion with her side, firstly, it reflected her generosity as the lord of the first palace, not only did she not get angry because Chen Jieyu used such a small means, but she generously called the national hand Wang Imperial Physician to treat Chen Jieyu to show that she was pure-hearted. The second is to determine Chenmeiren's condition through the mouth of the imperial physician. If it is really sick, there is nothing wrong with what you do, if there is no illness, Chen Jieyu will be carrying a stone and hitting her own feet with this hand.
No one knows the results of Dr. Wang's diagnosis and treatment, but it can be known from the look on Emperor Yong'an's calm face that came out of the Ning Xiang Pavilion that this time, An Xiaowan won.
An Xiaowan not only suppressed Chen Jieyu's arrogance, but also deepened her impression of forbearance everywhere in Emperor Yong'an's heart.
On the first day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Yong'an, it ended with Emperor Yong'an staying in the Yiyang Palace.
There is never a shortage of delicate concubines like flowers in the harem, and there is no shortage of these concubines in a variety of ways to compete for favor.
-------------
On the third day of August in the ninth year of Yong'an, the small selection of women who had been in the palace for three months had studied the etiquette in the palace for the final selection.
Xiao and the Empress Dowager sat on the orchid pavilion in the imperial garden to personally check, and selected a total of four Jieyu for Emperor Yong'an, from two four-grade beauties, three five-grade talents, a total of six beauties.
A Jieyu is a sister of Zhenjieyu, who went to recuperate outside the palace after Yong'an's biological mother Wang Jia, and Yong'an suffered from smallpox for four years, named Wang Mo'er. Emperor Yong'an named her Mo Jieyu.
The two beauties, one is the concubine of Cao Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, named Cao Ting'er, and she was named Ting Beauty. The other is Dong Junru of the Dong family, who was named Ru Beauty.
The three talented people and one talented person are also after the high-ranking families. They are Liu Yun'er of the Liu family, Yuncai. Cui Ninglu of the Cui family, a talented person. Su Qiuyue, the granddaughter of Su Zhao, the head of the household, is a talented person.
On the seventh day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Yong'an, Xiao Ji and the six new concubines officially set foot in the harem.
According to the ancestral system, the six new concubines had to bow down to the queen of the current dynasty before the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet on August 15, and then they could write their names on the Cheng'en book and let Emperor Yong'an summon them.
Because there is no queen in the middle palace, this matter of accepting the kneeling of the six new concubines fell on the body of Rou Guifei and Lingxi. Because the two of them have the highest positions in the harem, and they both hold the power of the six palaces of the assistant.
When Concubine Rou and Lingxi pretended that Xiao Jiujiu was pretending to pass the buck to each other, Xiao and the Empress Dowager set this day of asking for peace on August 13.
Which palace to go to to salute became the first major event encountered by the six new concubines when they entered the harem.
This is the same as recognizing the master and standing in the queue, as long as you kowtow your head, no matter what you think in your heart, your body is branded with the brand of recognizing a certain concubine, and you can't fall off for a while.
On the morning of August 13, Lingxi got up early. After tidying up, she took the lotus leaf hand to the Changle Hall and hid the matter.
Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager had not finished breakfast yet, and when she saw Lingxi coming, she hurriedly beckoned Lingxi to sit down and accompany her for breakfast.
Lingxi was not polite, and after sitting down, he smiled mischievously at Xiao and the Empress Dowager, and said, "I know that the ancestor has delicious food here, so the concubine came here when she smelled it." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe was amused by Lingxi and laughed, and used half a bowl of polished rice porridge more than usual.
The Empress Dowager Xiaohe didn't ask Lingxi why she wanted to hide out of such a majestic thing, but let Lingxi sit with her in the Changle Hall until the beginning of the lanterns, and then returned to the Luoxue Pavilion after dinner.
It's just that I can't hide from the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, and early in the morning of August 14, the six newly promoted concubines went to the Luoxue Pavilion together to ask for peace for Lingxi.
Lingxi had just finished breakfast at this time, and she only asked Xiao Dezi to pass out one sentence, just one word, "Wait." ”
After Xiao Dezi went out, she wore bright lake green under the service of lotus leaves and Qiaozhu, and embroidered the waist of a large Mengzhu with gold thread at the hem of her skirt. A simple side bun was tied on his head, a set of three white jade hairpins were tied, and a pair of broken jade earrings with an unusually simple style hung down his ears.
There is no too complicated dress, and the whole person is refreshing from the inside out.
Hanyu came in with a moon-white embroidered pine branch, saw Lingxi's dress, and said, "Niangniang, I heard that when Concubine Rou met with the new concubine yesterday, she was dressed in formal clothes, with a high Lingyun bun, and a hairpin with seven tassels inlaid with opal......
Hearing Hanyu say this, Lotus Ye also tilted her head and asked, "Niangniang, why don't you dress more formally?" ”
"What is officially not official." Lingxi took out a necklace made of green jade from the jewelry box carved with lotus flowers, raised his hand and hung it on his tender white neck and shins, filling his delicate face with a touch of grace, "I'm pretending to be formal, am I the queen?" It's better to be bland, I'm at ease, and so are they. ”
Qiaozhu took the shawl in Hanyu's hand, helped Lingxi hold it between his arms, and said with a smile, "Niangniang is noble, no matter what she pretends to be, she looks good, how can she be compared to Concubine Rou." ”
Lingxi raised his hand to Qiaozhu's forehead and said with a smile, "The mouth is getting poorer and poorer." ”
In the outer hall, the six newly promoted concubines had been sitting in the outer hall for half an hour.
The first person to sit on the lower right hand is Mo Jieyu. She was wearing a pale pink embroidered lily waist placket palace dress, with a cloud bun on her head, two lily-style beaded flowers hairpin, and a dripping hairpin swaying.
When Mo Jieyu first arrived at the age of Jilu, her figure was a little slimmer compared to the other five concubines, with a hint of childishness on her face. She sat there with a timid face, like a budding lily.
The one on the lower left is Tingmeiren. Ting Meiren was wearing a lilac embroidered ripple bandeau palace dress, with a hibiscus bun on her head, three roses blooming side by side, and two green jade hairpins.
Ting Meiren is the sister-in-law of the deceased Cao Guifei and Concubine Wen, or because she is not a concubine, Tingjieyu does not have the arrogance of Cao Guifei, nor the arrogance of Concubine Wen revealed from her bones.
At this time, her head hung low, and she was slightly daze when she looked at the delicately embroidered light green ripples on her sleeves.
The second place in the lower right hand is such a beauty, such a beauty wears a moon-white waist placket palace dress, the head is a falling horse bun, in addition to the hairpin that fixes the bun, only a plum blossom style step shake obliquely.
Rumei is Yi Jieyu's cousin, she is only sixteen years old this year, and this kind of dress makes her whole person add a touch of lazy temperament to the Qing, but her watery eyes occasionally flash a trace of essence, but people dare not easily underestimate her.
The second place on the bottom left is Yun Cairen. Yuncai people are wearing a bandeau palace dress with a bright yellow dark embroidered peony, with a wishful bun on his head, two hairpins inlaid with rubies on the left and one on the right, and a five-tailed phoenix hairpin in the middle of the bun.
Yuncai had a pair of authentic Danfeng eyes, painted a cigarette eyebrow with raised eyebrows, and dotted a little red rouge on his forehead. makes his whole person look charming and arrogant. The water eyes were distracted, and the expressions of the other five concubines were all in their eyes, as if they didn't put anyone in their eyes.
This Yuncai person is none other than the sister of the Liu family (concubine) who called Emperor Yongan and the Zhu family to the Yilan Palace to catch the adulterer on the autumn night of the fourth year of Yong'an.
The third place in the lower right hand is Yuan Cairen. Yuan Cairen was wearing a light blue embroidered catkins waist palace dress, with a lily bun on his head, and a gardenia-style beaded flower on his hairpin, and he did not shake the hairpin.
The body of the Yuancai people is plumper compared to the other five people, and the round little face has a baby fat, revealing a cute atmosphere. Of course, it would be even cuter if her watery eyes didn't occasionally show a hint of disgust when they drifted towards Mo Jieyu.
The third place on the left hand is Qin Cairen, who wears a tulle lake green embroidered with fine plum petals bandeau palace dress, and the head is tied with a cross bun, only four white jade hairpins with good color, lined with hair like black jade, skin like snow.
Although Qin Cairen's grandfather was a household secretary in the court, he was born in a poor family, and his family background was not as solid as the other five concubines, so Qin Cairen's expression looked a little silent. But this silence just right enveloped her in a layer of melancholy, and it looked particularly melancholy.
Lingxi stood at the screen, and after seeing that these people's every move was in their eyes, he took the hand of the lotus leaf and slowly walked to the main seat and sat down.
Mo Jieyu was closest to the door of the inner hall, and when she saw Lingxi coming out, she hurriedly stood up, and the other five people also stood up.
After Lingxi sat down on the main seat, Mo Jieyu took the five people to bless and ask for peace, reporting her net worth, name, position, and the palace where she lived.
Lingxi sat there and listened carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and asked the six people to get up and sit down in a soft voice, and ordered Hanyu to serve the teacup.
Mo Jieyu didn't eat tea, but raised her eyes and glanced at the simple Lingxi, and said flatteringly, "When the concubine didn't enter the palace, I heard my mother say that Ye Guifei was very good, and when I saw it today, it was really so." ”
Lingxi smiled after hearing this, "When it comes to manners, it is Empress Jingren when she was the first emperor." If the temperament of this palace can be stained with the fur of Empress Jingren, he will be content in his heart. ”
Empress Jingren is Mo Jieyu's cousin and grandmother, and when she heard Lingxi say this, Mo Jieyu's face really showed two points of joy.
Lingxi always had a soft smile on her face when she spoke, and her tone was gentle, not as domineering as Rou Guifei, which not only made the few concubines sitting there feel a trace of cordiality, but also dropped half of her heart in her throat.
Ting Meiren turned slightly sideways, and smiled at Lingxi in a low voice, "The concubine heard that Ye Guifei has always been gentle with people, and when I saw it today, she was really like her own sister." ”
"We are both concubines of the emperor, and if we can enter the harem, we are naturally sisters of the family."
Lingxi raised his eyes and handed his gaze to Yun Meiren, who was sitting behind, when he was dazzled by the five-tailed phoenix hairpin on Yun Meiren's head. So he asked with a smile: "This sister's phoenix hairpin is really beautiful and tight......"
Yun Cairen hurriedly got up, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, and he replied softly, "Back to Ye Guifei's words, this phoenix hairpin was rewarded by Rouguifei Niangniang yesterday, and the concubine also felt beautiful and tight." ”
Lingxi nodded slightly, glanced at the one on his side, and said with a smile, "Speaking of rewards, this palace has also prepared a thin gift for my sisters, which is not as valuable as Concubine Rou, and I hope that my sisters will not laugh at this palace in secret." ”
