Chapter 150: Tea Ceremony
Chapter 150: Tea Ceremony
In the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, many people know that Li Keqi likes Emperor Yinxi, it is not a matter of one or two days, when Yang Xi was still the third prince, she has always liked him.
Even, when the first emperor pointed out the marriage, he pointed out Gu Guifei to Yang Xi, and Li Keqi also cried with the Empress Dowager Li, but at that time, the Empress Dowager Li didn't think much about it, the general trend was the same, and she didn't dare to say anything to the first emperor, but she comforted this niece and nephew of her mother's family.
Now, the situation is completely different, the three princes of the year have become Emperor Yinxi, even if they can't canonize the queen, can't they can't canonize a concubine?
Therefore, Li Keqi entered the palace as she wished, and she entered the palace in a beautiful manner.
At the time of the wedding ceremony, Li Keqi saluted the Empress Dowager Li and offered tea, and the Empress Dowager Li was full of smiles and smiled, and nodded: "You have seen the concubine and the concubine."
"Yes" Li Keqi was also full of smiles, and then got up to salute Gu Guifei.
"My own sister, don't be so polite" Gu Guifei didn't dare to hold it up, she hurriedly got up, and personally held her hand and smiled. Saying that, the 'daughter' of Gu Guifei's personal palace next to her had already held a congratulatory gift to Li Keqi.
Li Keqi took it with a smile, and then saluted Concubine Qin Xian, although they are also the fourth concubines, but according to the ranking, Gui, Shu, Xian, and De Concubine are in the last, so she still has to respectfully salute Concubine Qin Xian in the same way.
Concubine Qin Xian didn't say anything, and smiled indifferently: "Sister Li is also polite to me?" We grew up 'messing' together. ”
"Yes," Li Keqi obediently agreed, "I will ask my sister to take care of it in the future." ”
"Don't say that," Concubine Qin Xian said with a smile, and between speaking, the 'girl' of the palace who was busy also sent a congratulatory gift, but it was a golden hairpin bracelet, a genus of colored forging splendor.
Li Keqi's bright eyes fell on Chen Qingxuan's face, and she asked with a smile: "Auntie, who is this beautiful sister, and what should I call it?" ”
"Oh......" Empress Dowager Li slowly put down the teacup, and then said, "She is Mrs. Chenrong, and she is favored by the saints, but she should salute you today."
"Hmm" Li Keqi agreed noncommittally, and then said, "Auntie, forget this salute, after all, I am a newcomer, and I will have to take care of Sister Chen in the future." ”
"Sister Li said she laughed" Chen Qingxuan smiled faintly, take care of? She doesn't have that much to take care of.
Concubine Qin Xian frowned slightly, although Li Keqi called Chen Qingxuan "sister", but the title of "sister" in this palace is called according to age, and the titles of sisters in this palace are all based on their respective statuses, and only those with high positions can be called "sister", and this must be a lot of position, otherwise, low-ranking concubines can only call themselves "concubines" in front of high-ranking concubines.
Therefore, Li Keqi can call Chen Qingxuan "sister", but she just entered the palace for the first time today, but Chen Qingxuan did not change her name "sister".
Thinking of this, Concubine Qin Xian secretly glanced at Chen Qingxuan, lest she didn't know the rules of the palace, in fact, since Chen Qingxuan entered the palace, she had been favored by the saints, and others couldn't do anything to her.
After all, the position is empty after all, as long as His Majesty says a word, he can be promoted or demoted, as long as it is not the queen throne above 10,000 people, other concubines do not matter.
Concubine Xiang De's canonization of a concubine with such fanfare is already a big face.
"Today, when you enter the palace for the first time, the ceremony can't be abolished" Empress Dowager Li looked at Chen Qingxuan and said slowly, "Besides, you should also recognize everyone in this palace."
"Yes," Li Keqi nodded busily in agreement.
Chen Qingxuan never heard that the Empress Dowager Li wanted to borrow her niece and daughter, and stepped on her, but now it is clear, when she 'gets' she can't understand, what does the Empress Dowager Li want to do?
'Get' a niece and 'daughter' of the maiden family, can you enter the palace and suffer the crime?
"Mrs. Chenrong," Empress Dowager Li said lightly, "Why don't you introduce the rest of the people to Concubine De?" ”
"Returning to the Empress Dowager" Chen Qingxuan stood up, squatted slightly and saluted, "The concubine is also the first to enter the palace, who in this palace can't be recognized, or ask the Empress Dowager to appoint someone else" She didn't mean to be big, some of the concubines in this palace, in addition to the six beauties they entered the palace, Zhang Linlin has also been beaten into the cold palace, and the rest of the early low-ranking concubines, who don't often move around, she really can't recognize it.
"Queen Mother, it's better to let the concubines come" Concubine Qin Xian hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.
"No need for you" Empress Dowager Li lowered her face, looked at Chen Qingxuan and said, "Isn't the mourning family qualified enough to command you?" ”
"The Queen Mother said with a smile" Chen Qingxuan smiled lightly, "The concubine is telling the truth, it's better if the queen mother must introduce the concubine to Concubine De, it's nothing." ”
"Okay then" Empress Dowager Li nodded, beckoning Li Keqi to sit down under her, and then, an old woman was busy putting down a thin ball and placing it on the ground.
This look is clear to everyone, and it is natural that the low-ranking concubine will kowtow to Li Keqi.
Emperor Yinxi's harem is empty, and there are really not many people, but two lovers, two beauties, and a nobleman, some of whom are old people in the original palace, and Liang Yamei, Zhou Yi and others, they are not treated by Emperor Yinxi when they enter the palace, but they are just empty names.
It's just that poor Liang Yamei had some ambitions when she first entered the palace, and when she met a majesty who was not very heavy on 'women' and 'sex', she had nothing to do.
As for Lin Yuehua, after being sarcastically ridiculed by Emperor Yinxi, he also kept to himself.
Among the nine concubines, it was Cheng Jieyu, Qiu Huarong, and then Wang Yuhong, but when Wang Yuhong was introduced, Chen Qingxuan obviously felt the anger in Wang Yuhong's eyes.
She is the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, although she was also promoted to the position after entering the palace, but now compared with Li Keqi, it is too far away, and what makes her even more unconvinced is that the Empress Dowager Li actually asked her to kowtow to Li Keqi for tea, this breath, she can't swallow it no matter what.
Therefore, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when Wang Yuhong gave tea to the concubine De Niangniang, I don't know if Wang Yuhong did it intentionally, or Li Keqi didn't pick up the teacup, and when she made a mistake in the two clicks, the teacup slammed, fell to the ground, and fell apart.
Li Keqi shouted "oops" and called out.
The tea is not too hot, her hand is just a red piece, Chen Qingxuan estimates that it is a little painful, and there is no need to apply 'medicine' after that, and it will be fine for two days.
"Cheap maid presumptuous" Empress Dowager Li suddenly shouted, "Concubine De is going to 'serve' today, and now you are deliberately pouring tea and scalding her, what is your intention?" ”
Wang Yuhong also let go at this time, got up immediately, and even said that she looked at the Empress Dowager Li with some provocation and said: "The difference between the Empress Dowager's words, this tea is not too hot, and just now it was Concubine De Niangniang who deliberately did not pick up the tea cup, you see-" As she spoke, she reached out, and the back of her hand was also wet tea, and she was also red with the boss, obviously, she was burned by the wheel, and she was more seriously injured than Li Keqi.
But even so, Chen Qingxuan can still guarantee that this injury is really not a big deal, and it will definitely not affect any 'waiting' sleep. The 'woman' 'served' the bed, and she didn't do anything else, she hurt her hand, and she didn't hurt anything else, so it was really okay.
"So, or did Concubine De deliberately burn you?" Gu Guifei and Wang Yuhong originally had a feud, and in order to please Empress Dowager Li, she naturally helped Li Keqi speak at this time.
But Li Keqi was aggrieved, just looking at the Empress Dowager Li, her eyes were faintly tearful, and she really thought that she had been greatly wronged.
"It's hard to say," Wang Yuhong shook her head and said, "If you say that you missed, it's fine, but if I deliberately burned Concubine De, I can't afford this crime." ”
"I heard that you used the same method to burn Mrs. Chen Rong when you were in Chuxiu Palace, so she couldn't 'serve' and let you take advantage, God knows if you are doing it again now?" Gu Guifei sneered.
"There is no such thing" Chen Qingxuan said with a smile, "The concubine Niangniang misunderstood, that time was purely my own carelessness, not intentional." ”
"Oh?" Gu Guifei stared at Chen Qingxuan fiercely, and then said slowly, "But Wang Xiuyi collided with Concubine De, which is always an indisputable fact. ”
"It's just that the teacup is not connected, where can it be called a collision?" Chen Qingxuan shook his head and said.
Wang Yuhong was also a little surprised, she was also holding her stomach sulking today, and was drunk by the Empress Dowager Li "Cheap maid", she was let out, there is no big deal except death this year, it's a big deal that she also learns the real Chen Qingxuan, Jin Hai stabbed her throat and committed suicide, why bother in this palace, suffer such bird gas?
But she didn't expect that Chen Qingxuan would actually speak for her?
"The Empress Dowager" Chen Qingxuan turned to look at the Empress Dowager Li, and said with a smile indifferently, "Today is a good day for Concubine De to enter the palace, I think, this matter is still a big matter and a small matter, otherwise, once there is a stir, it will affect the harmony between Concubine De and Wang Xiuyi in the future, and, don't talk about this, look at the face of Zhenguo Gong, it's better to forget it."
"Hmph" Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly, her original purpose was not Wang Yuhong, but she didn't expect that Wang Yuhong would smash the teacup and burn Li Keqi.
"In that case, for the sake of Zhenguo Gong, forget it," Li Keqi said in a busy whisper.
Empress Dowager Li nodded and stopped talking, and the fragments of the tea cup on the ground had long been cleaned up, and even the thin ball had been replaced with a new one.
"Mrs. Chenrong, it's your turn to give Concubine De a cup of tea," Gu Guifei said suddenly.
Chen Qingxuan deliberately pretended not to understand and asked, "Why should I give tea to Concubine De?" ”
"Presumptuous" Gu Guifei shouted, "You are just a second-grade lady, Your Majesty promotes you on weekdays, and we don't care, but today is the big day of Concubine De's mother, your position is a little worse, let you serve tea, that is to look up to you." ”
