Chapter 231: Concubine Li
Chapter 231: Concubine Li
The early morning sun shines on the glazed tiles of the red 'color' palace wall, reflecting a dazzling light.
Jiang Ruonan only felt a piece of white 'flowers' and 'flowers' in front of him, and the face in front of him seemed to be very clear and blurred.
She blinked, a little skeptical of what she was seeing.
A thin face, gray sideburns, bitter corners of the mouth, and faint crow's feet
This is the high-spirited and handsome Marquis of An Yuan? It's only been five years, why does he seem to be ten years older?
Jiang Ruonan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes at all
At this moment, she didn't know how to react, she didn't know what to say, she just looked at him in a daze.
Jin Shaokang's heart at this time was like the sea in a storm, with turbulent waves, chaos, and chaos.
It's been five years, she has disappeared in his world, he hasn't sent someone to find her, but there is no news of her, he has spent the most difficult days, when this period passed, just when he thought he had let go, numb, and could slowly get used to life without her, she suddenly appeared in front of him,
Something imprisoned and suppressed erupted in an instant, making him uncontrollable and catching him off guard.
He looked at her, as if the years had forgotten her, leaving no trace on her face, her eyes were still clear, and her lips were still moist. It's just that there is more mature charm between the eyebrows, and there is more confidence and calmness in the eyes.
But at the same time, he didn't ignore the shock in her eyes, his eyes darkened, the years forgot her, but he treated himself cruelly, the current An Yuanhou is no longer the Jin Shaokang who could make her 'fascinated' in the past
His heart was sour, he lowered his head slightly, and quietly took two steps back.
This action made Jiang Ruonan, who was in shock, also sober up. She was a little flustered for a while, and took two steps back, but forgot that Zuo Bochang was still standing next to her, she bumped into him and stepped on his foot, Zuo Bochang snorted and dodged away.
Jiang Ruonan turned her head to look at Zuo Bochang, her face was red and white, she retreated and apologized nervously, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" But when I stepped back, I didn't pay attention, and my heel tripped over the gap in the blue brick, and the whole person fell backwards.
She stretched out her arms in reverse, but she couldn't maintain her balance, and she was about to fall, just at this moment, Jin Shaokang and Zuo Bochang on the side, one of them stretched out a hand to grab her wrist and pulled her back.
Both shot at the same time. But at the last moment, Zuo Bochang increased his strength in his hand, Jin Shaokang didn't let go of his hand for a while, and Jiang Ruonan fell to Zuo Bochang's side.
Zuo Bochang held Jiang Ruonan's shoulders with both hands, helped her stabilize her body, and said at the same time: "Madam, be careful"
Jiang Ruonan was shocked, took a few deep breaths, then pushed his hand away, and said unsteadily: "Thank you." She no longer looked at Jin Shaokang, turned around and walked towards the palace 'gate'.
Zuo Bochang looked at her back and frowned.
When he turned around, he saw Jin Shaokang looking at him, his gaze was a little abnormal.
"Master Hou......" Zuo Bochang said inquiringly.
Jin Shaokang's voice was a little cold, "Brother Zuo knows the 'girl' just now?" ”
Although Zuo Bochang is a rough man, he is not a fool, he saw Jiang Ruonan's abnormality in the face of Jin Shaokang just now, he looked directly at Jin Shaokang, and said lightly: "That 'girl' is the widow I told Hou Ye, I am planning to marry her home" There was a faint warning in his tone, as if to say, this is what I fancy first, and it is best for others not to make up their minds
Widows? Did she marry again? Jin Shaokang didn't have time to think deeply about this question, because Zuo Bochang's words made him very dissatisfied with Jiang Ruonan's naked/'naked'/'naked' possessive 'sex'. It's like watching others take their most important things for themselves, although he knows that Jiang Ruolan has nothing to do with him now, but he is still very uncomfortable in his heart
He met Zuo Bochang's sharp gaze, his gaze did not give way, and said word by word: "The widow in Brother Zuo's mouth used to be Benhou's wife."
On the other side, Jiang Ruonan hurriedly walked towards Cining Palace, his face flushed, and he was so annoyed in his heart that he wanted to give himself two slaps.
When she decided to come back, she already knew that she and he would inevitably see each other again, and she had imagined what it would be like to meet him.
She felt that she should be very calm, and she faced him naturally, and then said lightly, "Long time no see, are you okay?" "Very composed, very calm,
Instead of being like now, panicked and full of foreign appearances
Why does she need to panic, why do she need to be nervous? Five years have passed, and everything is over
What is this? What's wrong with her? It's a shame
She covered her face and ran towards Cining Palace, as if her fast running movement could make her forget the embarrassment just now
Walking to Cining Palace, smelling the sandalwood in the air, my heart slowly calmed down.
She shook her head, she didn't want to do this now, the most important thing now was the Queen Mother's condition. It must have been that she couldn't accept his change for a while, so she had this abnormal reaction, and she would never do it in the future, and the next time she faced him, she would definitely be able to calm down and be calm
She took a deep breath and walked into the inner sanctum.
In the palace, the queen took all the concubines to see the queen mother, who had just taken the 'medicine' and sat at the head of the 'bed', weakly accepting their care.
Jiang Ruonan walked over, and all the concubines turned their heads when they heard the voice, and Jiang Ruonan saw many familiar faces at once. Standing on the left side of the queen, wearing a pink 'color' landscape pattern dark 'flower' silk robe is the concubine of the year, although the concubine is no longer the style of the year, but the figure is still graceful and charming.
On the other side of the queen is standing Jiang Huanting, now, she is really in her prime, her hair is like clouds, her skin is like snow, she is wearing a royal blue "color" satin embroidered chrysanthemum "flower" pattern cotton robe, her head is "inserted" with gold silk "flower", there is a jade "jade" inlaid with gems on her sideburns, and she has a few mutton fat white "jade" bracelets on her wrist, and a necklace with Dadong beads inlaid with jade on her neck
At this time, she raised an eyebrow slightly, and looked at Jiang Ruonan with a smile.
Jiang Ruonan glanced at her, then moved his gaze lightly and greeted the queen.
The queen excused her from the ceremony and introduced her.
The queen pointed at Concubine Shu and said lightly, "This is Concubine Xu." He pointed at Jiang Huanting again and said with a smile: "This is your cousin, I have added a son and a 'daughter' to the emperor in the past few years, and now she is Concubine Li."
It turned out that he had already given birth to a prince to the emperor and made a concubine, no wonder he looked so arrogant Jiang Ruonan thought
Then the queen introduced her to several other concubines, some of whom were newly promoted in the draft two years ago, and the ones selected by the 'spirit' heart were naturally all beauties.
Jiang Ruonan curtsy them, Xu Guifei raised her eyebrows and didn't make a sound, but a concubine next to Jiang Huanting said, "Madame doesn't even kneel?" What is the identity of Madame? ”
Because of the harmony, the imperial court has withdrawn the title of Mrs. Jiang Ruonan, and now Jiang Ruonan is just the identity of the people's 'woman', and it stands to reason that she should kneel when she sees the concubine
Jiang Huanting looked at her, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious, now it is not what it used to be, she is no longer the trembling little nobleman, she is the palace concubine who gave birth to the emperor and gave birth to the prince, and she can finally make her kneel down in front of her
This is the rule, Jiang Ruonan no longer wants to abide by it, she endured her anger, and was about to kneel, when the Queen Mother suddenly leaned on the 'bed' and said: "Jiang Ruolan is a guest invited back by the mourning family, and she is also a hero who treats the mourning family, except for the emperor and the mourning family, she doesn't need to salute anyone."
The Queen Mother spoke, and the concubines had nothing to say, and some of the new concubines secretly looked at Jiang Ruonan, not knowing who she was, and she could be protected by the Queen Mother
Jiang Ruonan was overjoyed, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Huanting.
Jiang Huanting had a stiff smile on her face, but then she walked up to Jiang Ruonan with a sweet smile, and said affectionately: "That's great, this palace is embarrassed to accept my sister's kneeling" said and reached out to shake Jiang Ruonan's hand.
Jiang Ruonan raised her hand and 'touched' her own bun, so that her outstretched hand floated awkwardly in the air in front of everyone, and then she turned her head to look at Jiang Huanting who was embarrassed, and smiled slightly, "I'm going to see the Queen Mother, unaccompanied" and walked over her side towards the Queen Mother.
One mouthful of this palace, and still pretending to be sisters here...... Who is impatient to accompany you to play
gave birth to a prince, and didn't give birth to a prince, and when she grew up, she would be better 'mixed', but it was just a fiefdom of the king, if she was not welcomed, it would be nothing, and the road was not stable, so she dared to be arrogant here, if she was allowed to succeed for a while, would she be able to live in peace in the future?
Jiang Huanting looked at her back and turned white with anger. But with the protection of the Queen Mother, what can I do? Could it be that she has been crushed to death by her all her life?
Why? He is obviously the one who gave birth to a 'daughter' for the emperor
On weekdays, some people who are jealous of Jiang Huanting's unpleasant look at her smile and smile at her, not to mention how happy they are. Jiang Huanting felt more and more dull on her face.
Jiang Ruonan took the pulse of the Queen Mother and checked the Queen Mother's injuries.
At this time, the emperor came to the queen mother to say goodbye. The eyes of the warblers in the room immediately lit up, and she knelt down to greet him, her voice was delicate and tactful.
Emperor Jing Xuan ordered them to level down, cross between them, and go straight to the queen mother's bed.
The concubines were very disappointed when they saw that the emperor didn't look at them, Jiang Huanting watched Emperor Jing Xuan walk to Jiang Ruonan's side, and watched Jiang Ruonan greet him.
She is the one who knows what is going on between them. She has always believed that there is a 'private' relationship between them, so what seems normal to others is full of ambiguity in her eyes. How do you look at it, the emperor's eyes looking at Jiang Ruolan are so special, and Jiang Ruolan's eyes seem to be full of ** meaning......
She felt a pang in her heart, now that Jiang Ruolan has reconciled, if the emperor takes her into the palace, he will definitely be greatly favored by her, and she has a deep grudge with herself, in case she is favored, it is not a good thing for herself
Jiang Huanting looked at their gaze and gradually became 'gloomy' cold.
