Chapter 40: The Immortal Couple
Qishu.com . The fastest update of the latest chapter of Jiao Niang as a concubine!
Cha Ou Xiangzhen remembered that the first time they heard Wen Zhiluo's name, she was already the candidate for Princess Qi in everyone's minds.
At that time, Zhao Yan was just in the limelight, and he was named King Qi, becoming the hottest prince except for the first prince. Overnight, the palace maids began to gossip about the handsome and beautiful Lord Qi, as well as the beautiful lady beside him.
It was a day of heavy snowfall, and the palace was covered with white. They were sent by their masters to pick red plums in the royal garden. As soon as I entered the plum garden, I saw a pair of beautiful people standing in the flower forest in the distance. The man wears a dark brocade robe, a jade crown, a beautiful figure, phoenix eyes and thin lips. The woman wore a goose yellow bottom folded plum placket, a moon-white pleated skirt, and a ribbon around her waist brushed up with her movements, turning her face, her complexion was beautiful, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard were overshadowed.
They stood in the distance, watching with bated breath at the picturesque landscape.
The man plucked a red plum and smiled and put it on the woman's sideburns. Then they took her hand, and the two of them bowed their heads and whispered, not knowing what to say.
The woman blushed slightly, and smiled at the man, her eyes were gentle, like a pool of clear blue water. In this heavy snowfall, there is spring.
……
Later, I talked with the palace maids and learned that it was Wen Zhiluo, the concubine of Prince Qi and the fourth room of the Wen family, who was in the Meilin that day. The two are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.
They were full of envy. If it hadn't been for what happened later, they would have been envious......
It's a pity that although Wen Zhiluo is beautiful on the outside, her heart is made of snakes and scorpions.
If it weren't for her, Concubine Gong would not have died of regret, and she wouldn't have seen His Royal Highness King Yu before she died......
However, His Royal Highness is so infatuated with Wen Zhiluo that she is dead, and she will marry someone who looks similar to her.
If the concubine knows under the spring, I'm afraid she will also feel cold.
The two finished their salutes to Yixuan and served tea again. Yixuan tasted each bite, and then said casually: "Sit down, I'll talk to you." ”
After that, he glanced at Xingyun. Xingyun understood what Yixuan meant, quietly withdrew, and closed the door.
The tea ou incense seal excused himself and sat down, feeling a little uneasy. Those wives who are powerful in their means, after marrying into their husband's family, the first thing they do is to clean up the room.
Although the room is more noble than the usual girl, she has no serious reputation, and it is not handled by the winner's mother......
"How long have you been serving the prince?" Yixuan looked at them lightly, and there was no emotion in her eyes.
"Two, two years."
"Two years, ah......" She remembered that Concubine Gong died of illness two years ago, "The prince has a lot of opportunities, and he can't take care of you." As you get older, you have some things to end as soon as possible. ”
Yixuan coughed, seeing that the two of them were stiff, thinking that they might have misunderstood what they meant, so she continued: "You want to leave or stay, as long as you say a word, I will make the decision for you." If you want to leave, I will send a dowry of fifty taels of gold to each of you, and help you find two good families, and I will not wronged you. If so, you want to keep it...... Later, I will mention to the prince that I will carry you as concubines. ”
When the tea pot heard this, he looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. They naturally want to stay, how many people in the world can compare with the prince's character and power? What's more, the girl in the room is broken...... At most, if they marry a wealthy businessman, or an ordinary talent, how can they look at it?
Yixuan saw that they didn't speak, and she knew it in her heart. smiled and said: "I know, about your affairs, I will pick a day to tell the prince." It's getting late today, so go back first. ”
The tea ou incense seal is a little unbelievable. The princess meant to give them a name...... couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, thanked Yixuan again and again, and silently retreated to the door.
Yixuan put her hand on her chin, suddenly remembered something, and stopped them again: "I love purity, and I don't need to come to me to say hello in the future." ”
Cha Ou hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, I don't dare to disturb the princess's recuperation." With that, he lifted the curtain and pushed the door out.
Yixuan closed her eyes and leaned on the pillow to take a nap.
What is it? People like Zhao Zhen are not concubines, there are three side concubines alone, and there are many women who have been messed with outside. Although he has never married a wife, the flowers and plants around him have never been broken.
Fortunately, the three side concubines are far away in the northwest, and there are only two tea ou incense seals in the palace of the capital, so she can live a comfortable life.
Yixuan thought about these things, and with a faint bitterness in her heart, she fell asleep carelessly. When she woke up, the moonlight in the courtyard was like water, and the lanterns at the corners of the eaves were rotating in the wind, and she was stunned for a while, and found that Shuang'er was sitting in the house and setting up a smoked cage, taking a small pestle and sitting next to it, holding her head and falling asleep.
The faint sinking water mixed with musk, borneol and other spices is filled in the room through the water vapor, lined with dim yellow candlelight, which makes people feel calm.
"Twins." Yixuan changed her position, her neck was a little twisted, and she felt a faint pain, "Come and help me rub my neck." ”
Shuang'er opened her eyes, stared at Yixuan in confusion for a while, and then came back to her senses, picked up her clothes with a red face and shook them, and put them beside her, "Wait a minute, princess, there are two more." ”
She spread another one on the smoker cage before coming over and pressing Yixuan's neck. Shuang'er has been practiced, the hands are strong and skillful, and the press is very comfortable. Yixuan asked her slowly:
"When did you come back? Done? ”
Shuang'er replied, "I came back half an hour ago." Prince Changbai has something to say to the princess, please leave the princess on the day she returns to the door and see him alone. ”
I really have to make it clear to my brother. Yixuan nodded and said yes, and then asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
"The prince and Lord Wei talked for a long time, and the door was closed. Shicai is out of the house again. ”
Yixuan opened her eyes and asked vigilantly, "Where are you going?" ”
"I don't know yet. It's just with Master Wei. Someone should be there tomorrow to deliver the news. ”
After hearing this, Yixuan didn't ask anymore, and only said some family matters: "Have you returned to Wen's house?" Did Chef Zhang come back with you? ”
Chef Zhang is a native of Jiangnan, and the dishes he cooks are the most suitable for her taste.
Shuang'er smiled: "Yes, as soon as Chef Zhang heard that the princess wanted to use him, he immediately packed up his things and followed." I have arranged accommodation for him. Does the princess want to eat? ”
Yixuan shook her head, she had eaten too much at noon, and she wasn't hungry at this time, "Let him rest." From tomorrow onwards, he will take care of my food and drink alone, and no one else will interfere. ”
After about a cup of tea, Xingyun came to report that the medicinal soup was boiled. Yixuan went to soak for half an hour, wrapped up in clothes and went to bed, her body warm. Shuang'er helped Yixuan inspect her ankle and said in surprise: "It's not so red anymore, and the swelling has disappeared a lot, Dr. Hu really deserves to be a miracle doctor." ”
Yi Xuan Nunu's mouth. If you follow her set of Zhaojun out of the plug, can you not use some real skills?
Shuang'er took a small blue porcelain bottle, opened the lid, dipped a little bit of his finger on the wound, and slowly rubbed it in a circular motion.
"The princess should heal her wounds quickly. Otherwise, when the three dynasties return to the door, the old men and ladies will have to worry. ”
After smearing the medicine, I wrapped it twice with a white muslin cloth and tied the knot. Shuang'er put everything in the red lacquer plate, got up and asked, "The prince may not come back tonight, why don't you wait, princess, go to bed first?" I extinguished the two candles and stayed with the princess in the compartment. ”
Yi Xuan nodded first, thought for a while, and then changed her mind: "No." I'll read the booklet for a while, and you're here with me. Just help me straighten out my makeup. Put away those who are too extravagant and ostentatious. ”
Shuang'er turned her head and smiled. The princess still cares about the prince in the end, otherwise how could she hold on to her spirit and wait for the prince to come back?
Yi Xuan took the account book of the Yuwang Mansion and slowly flipped through it, very patient. After watching it for a while, I thought it was funny.
In this booklet, most of the records are gifts given to the royal palace, and there are countless rare treasures. But the palace seems to be completely ignorant of the return gift, or the return gift is too thin, which is not suitable at all.
It's not necessarily that Zhao Zhen doesn't know how to do favors. It's just that there is no housewife in this house, and it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places.
She only needs to pay attention to the few families in the palace who come and go every year.
After finishing the makeup, Shuang'er filled a azure bottle with water and put it in a corner of the house. He took a footstool and sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Yi Xuan and asked, "The princess summoned two tea pots and incense seals in the evening?" ”
"Yes." Yixuan nodded.
Shuang'er seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still couldn't help asking: "Does the princess really want to raise them as concubines?" What do you care about? The prince didn't mention it, but you are very kind......"
Just now she went to fill the net bottle with water, and when she heard the maids talking about it, they were all envious. There are also a lot of people who are in a hurry to make tea and incense.
The two men who were summoned in the evening spread throughout the evening. Thinking about it, you know that the two of them can't hide it, and they are full of wind.
In this way, even if the princess does not want to lift them, she can't......
"After all, it's about the future of the two of them." Yixuan put down the booklet, with a faint smile on her jade-like face, and patiently explained to Shuang'er: "They will be twenty next year, and after this age, it will be difficult to get married." I wanted to find them two good families and send them to marry in a beautiful way. They don't want to, they just want to stay in the palace, then I will fulfill them. ”
Concubine Gong is gentle and upright, and she treats the tea pot like this, but also for the sake of Concubine Gong's face.
Shuang'er stared at Yixuan for a long time. Sometimes she feels that the princess is cold-faced and ruthless, and sometimes she thinks that she is gentle, kind, careful and considerate......
It's really amazing, I can't see through it.
"The princess has a plan, and I don't talk much." Shuang'er sighed, "It's just that the princess doesn't have to embarrass herself...... Taking a concubine for your uncle, although it can give you a reputation of being virtuous, are you happy? ”
Yixuan was stunned by her question. My heart slowly tugged up.
Not happy, of course. She is also jealous, like all the women in the world. There is another important reason why she is willing to carry the tea pot incense seal.
It's that they are not favored.
There are a few more concubines who are not favored, it seems that it doesn't hurt, right?
In terms of scheming and means, who can compare to her? Even if she wants all of Zhao Zhen's favor, it is not difficult.
But what qualifications does she have to do that? She's just a ...... It's just a chess piece ambushed by Zhao Zhen's side.
The long night was silent. Zhao Zhen really didn't come back.
Yixuan slept alone, and there was no man's temperature around her, so she was a little lost.
Tossing and turning, she had no sleep, and woke up until the second watch. Just as he was scorching, the door creaked open, Yi Xuan's heart tightened, and she sat up and asked sharply, "Who?!" ”
