Chapter 48: Accidents
Wuyunzhu blushed and kowtowed, got up and sat down beside me, I looked at Wuyunzhu carefully, she was wearing a beige embroidered flag dress with dark flowers, with a simple two heads on her head, a silver flat square inserted in the middle, the sideburns were only decorated with flowers, and a pair of jade bead earrings hung down from her ears, swaying slightly with the movement of her head. All the things around her add up, probably not as good as a bead of Concubine Tong, Rao is so, but in this piece of glamorous makeup and gorgeous clothes, it is more pure, adding a little more grace.
It's rare that she figured out Shunzhi's preferences in just a few days, when Concubine Jing was abolished, one of the charges was "luxury after the rear", of course, this is just an excuse, which harem concubine is not wearing gold and jade, not to mention Concubine Jing, a Mongolian princess who has been used to extravagance since she was a child, although it is an excuse, but Shunzhi does prefer simple and natural things.
I looked at her and said, "Concubine Xian is really a beautiful blue heart, and even her makeup is so fresh and refined." ”
Hearing this, Wuyunzhu hurriedly stood up, and blessed a blessing and said: "Niangniang praises it, and the concubine ......"
I interrupted her and said, "Concubine Xian doesn't need to be so polite, counting, you are one year older than this palace, if Concubine Xian doesn't dislike it, how about this palace call you sister in the future?" Listen close, too. ”
As soon as my words came out, I felt a gaze fall on me, I didn't have to look back to know who it was, Wuyunzhu looked a little frightened, and just about to excuse himself, a faint voice came from not far from the left: "A year older than Niangniang?" Is Concubine Xian eighteen years old this year? The concubines didn't hear about it. "It's Concubine Jing, her voice contains disdain and contempt, and I almost have to give Concubine Jing a standing ovation for her timely cooperation.
"Concubine Jing!" Shunzhi drank coldly warningly, and there was already a hint of anger in his tone.
Concubine Jing smiled sarcastically and stopped talking, but Wuyunzhu's expression became very embarrassed.
Wuyunzhu's participation in the election has already made everyone in the palace talk about her, and she almost became Prince Xiang Fujin, when the draft was only left in the palace after the primary election, and was directly named a concubine, too many things made everyone in the palace full of this or that speculation about this concubine, the most popular theory is that Wuyunzhu "seduced" the emperor in front of Prince Xiang's mourning hall, but these gossips are not dared to let Shunzhi hear, and now only Concubine Jing does not care about daring to touch the tiger's beard.
Shunzhi's face was a little gloomy, and at this time, Dong E took a step forward, gave a light salute, and said in a voice like a yellow warbler: "Slave Dong E is like this, see the queen mother, the slave and the mother have a relationship, I wonder if the mother can still remember the slave?" ”
Her interruption eased the slightly embarrassing atmosphere a little, and the dark clouds smiled gratefully, and winked mischievously, looking at Shunzhi's slightly slowed face, I was secretly vigilant in my heart, it seems that these two sisters are not easy to get along with!
I cast my eyes on the body in front of me, her delicate temperament, unforgettable at first sight, I smiled: "Like a sister fairy-like character, this palace just wants to forget it." ”
It seems to be a few more modest words, this fork has passed, and it will be much smoother to go down, this time there are a total of thirteen show girls, in addition to the virtuous concubine Wuyunzhu, the concubine Wanru, and the concubine Nara, there are ten people:
Niu Co Lu Qianru, to be a nobleman;
Fucha Ziyun, to be crowned a nobleman;
Guarjia Zhanen, to be crowned a nobleman;
Ma Jia Dexin, to be sealed is always there;
Iljia Yueru, the proposed seal is always there;
Pray for him to pull the spring and be sealed always;
Sacha Shuning, to be sealed is always there;
Bai Jia Lanfen, proposed to be sealed is always there;
Ulanara Yuhua, to be sealed is always there;
Among them, there are five or six people who are quite outstanding, and the rest are also middle-class and upper-class.
"Concubine Tong," I asked, "Aren't there thirteen?" Why is there one person missing? ”
Concubine Tong replied: "If I go back to my sister's words, there are thirteen people, but unfortunately one of them is sick today, so he didn't arrive." "I can't do anything about Concubine Tong repeatedly calling me "sister" for a while.
I nodded, turned my head to the dark cloud bead who was still standing in the first emperor and said, "Sister E, please sit down," and then looked at the group of show girls and said, "Sisters, sit down too." ”
All the show girls gave a blessing together, and retreated backwards, because the steps of the show girls were big and small, the back retreated a little slower, and the front ones could not be seen because they were "but lined", so two people bumped into a place, and they collided, which naturally affected the show girls in front of them, and for a while the hall exclaimed again and again, and two people fell to the ground, rolling into a ball, and the front of Nala and Wanru also stumbled slightly, and the orderly time just now became a pot of porridge, and the concubines sitting there all secretly hooked the corners of their mouths, What's more, he has covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and the little brother and Xiao Gege, who are waiting for Jin to see on the side, are even more happy to jump to their feet.
Shunzhi's expression became very ugly, and the queen mother's face was covered with a layer of frost, and she shouted coldly: "Nonsense! ”
The queen mother shouted, and suddenly quieted down in the hall, the show girls didn't care about tidying up their clothes, and knelt together in panic, under the pressure of the queen mother, a fallen show girl snorted and said: "The queen mother Mingjian, just now it was Shuchang who pushed the concubine, so that the concubine stood unsteadily...... "I remember that she called him to pray for Chun'er, her voice did not fall, Sacha Shuning hurriedly argued: "The queen mother is graceful, the concubine is not ......"
"Shut up!" It was Concubine Tong who interrupted her, Concubine Tong's face was frosty, and she said coldly: "Concubine Yi, this palace handed over these show girls to you to learn the rules, will you learn this situation?" In front of the emperor and the queen mother, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, what kind of system! ”
Concubine Tong said that the queen mother and the emperor, but she alone "forgot" me, looking at her stern appearance, I was a little funny in my heart, Concubine Tong held the power of the harem, and the management and teaching of these show girls were naturally handled by Concubine Tong. However, Concubine Tong is Concubine Tong after all, she knows how to strike first, and in a word, she put the main responsibility on Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi looked shocked, knelt on the ground and said: "The concubine is derelict in her duties, and she has the high hopes of Concubine Tong." "Presumably Concubine Yi also knows very well, no matter whether Concubine Tong handed over this matter to her at the beginning, she has made up her mind today, and instead of offending Concubine Tong, it is better to be more cheerful.
Concubine Tong got up and knelt down: "Although this matter is due to Concubine Yi's poor teaching, the concubines also have the fault of not being strict with the inspectors, and they also ask the queen mother and the emperor to punish them." ”
Shunzhi has always asked about this harem matter, so although Shunzhi's face was ugly, he didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Do you think you are missing?" The first time I saw the queen today, something like this happened, did you mean to show the queen's face? The Queen Mother gasped for breath before she said, "It's up to the queen to decide what to do with you." ”
The Queen Mother insisted on pulling the matter on me, and her purpose is self-evident.
When Concubine Tong heard this, the expression on her face became a little unnatural, but I couldn't help but snicker, Wuyunzhu had just planted a "set of words", and Concubine Tong made the same mistake, I hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "How to punish it, this palace can't come up with any ideas for a while," I looked at Concubine Yi and smiled: "Sister Concubine Yi is responsible for teaching these new sisters on weekdays, I don't know what Concubine Yi's opinion is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the concubines sitting there showed a "sure enough" expression on their faces, and it seems that I, the queen, have no assertive image.
Concubine Yi was originally resentful when she was caught by Concubine Tong, and when she heard me say this, a trace of contempt was added to her face, she looked at the two Chang presence, and said hatefully: "The concubines don't dare to be careless when they supervise on weekdays, and the two of them make this mistake today, which shows that they are usually rude, and such a rude person should not stay in the palace anymore, so as not to collide with the emperor again one day." ”
Good! I silently applauded Yi Concubine, and her words almost made me think that she was here to cooperate with me.
is so angry with others, no wonder Concubine Yi is not popular in the palace, and no wonder Concubine Tong will throw her out without hesitation.
The two who often heard Concubine Yi's words, their pretty faces turned pale at the same time, they were different from the unsuccessful show girls, they were kicked out of the palace when their positions were decided, this is a great shame, and the family will also be disgraced, and the emperor doesn't want a woman, who will dare to ask for it in the future?
Concubine Tong frowned slightly and was about to speak, but I rushed in front of her and said: "According to the palace, this incident is just an accident, and the two sisters are rude in front of the emperor and the queen mother, will they be punished too harshly?" But I can't go unpunished, it's better to ......" I looked at Chun Chang and Shu Chang who were full of desire and hope in their eyes, and said softly: "It's better to lower the grades of the two sisters by one level, and it can be regarded as an explanation, what do the two sisters think?" ”
Often in the first class is to agree, usually only the palace maid will be sealed after the emperor is lucky, and the show girl who enters the palace through the draft can also be sealed at the very least. The promised status is sometimes even inferior to some powerful palace maids, so this kind of punishment is not heavy, but compared to being sent out of the palace, it is much better, after all, in the palace, as long as you grasp it properly, you still have a chance to be promoted.
The two of them are always there, no, they are all looking like they want to cry without tears, but they are busy snorting their heads and thanking them, and after getting up, they all glared at Yi Concubine, it is really rare that they just blamed each other, and now they are standing on the same front again, if their eyes can kill, Yi Concubine is afraid that she has died a few times.
