"Girl, that's the Imperial Garden!" Dong'er reminded.
Luo Ling nodded slightly, Dong'er, the palace maid, is careful, but her heart is simple. And the few people who are waiting in the back will have some fists and feet, these, Luo Ling doesn't need to count, as long as he uses dim sum, he can observe them.
Generally, the imperial garden is a place where there are many people, and it is easy to meet people who should not be encountered, so Dong'er, the palace maid, is careful, and Luo Ling now has the support of the queen mother, but she has no status in this palace, so try not to go there to provoke right and wrong.
She doesn't want to be so swaggering now, but if she doesn't swagger, how can she attract everyone's attention? Get the attention of the black-robed man and the spy?
"Well, although I've been here once before, I haven't been able to appreciate it well, so this time, I naturally want to appreciate it!"
Luo Ling's words made the palace maid behind him look a little unusual, could it be that by the face of the queen mother, could this Xiahou Luo Ling really think that the palace is his own home?
Even Dong'er's face is a little unsightly, but he just doesn't say it.
She looked at Luo Ling obediently, "Yes, girl! ”
In the imperial garden, a group of palace maids were seen standing aside from a distance, and two costumed concubines were sitting on the edge of the open-air stone table, as if chatting.
"I heard that the emperor is still receiving the nine kings of Daxun, it seems that Princess Xiyue will marry into Daxun Kingdom soon!"
"That's really happy, in this way, there will be one less person in the palace who is an eyesore!"
Concubine Zheng smiled, "Sister Concubine Zhu doesn't have to be happy too early, but the palace heard about the banquet attended by the Nine Kings with the Nine Princesses this time, and it is not certain whether this Xiyue can be married?" ”
"Heh~" Concubine Zhu smiled sarcastically, "There's a good show to watch now, Xiahou Yan has a serious princess, what is the matter with Xiyue?" Is it possible to marry someone as a concubine? ”
"Whether Princess Xiyue is a concubine or not is the business of the queen mother, we just take care of our own one-third of an acre, why is that heart blind?"
The corners of Concubine Zheng's mouth hooked up a smile that watched the show.
Concubine Zhu said in a weird manner, "Oh, who called our emperor a princess, there is only such a princess in the entire harem, although she is older, but sister, which prince has favored more than Princess Xiyue over the years?" ”
Concubine Zheng just smiled, picked up the table and took a sip casually, she didn't care on the surface, but in fact, she had already set off an uproar in her heart.
Her thirteen princes have not been very favored, and every princess in the emperor is like that, if she also gave birth to a princess, she must have been promoted to a concubine by now, right?
"Sister, this Xiyue Duke is really a concubine for the Nine Kings Xiahou Yan, didn't he slap the queen in the face? That's where it gets interesting! Huh..."
Concubine Zhu couldn't help but lean forward and lean back regardless of the image, holding her stomach with both hands.
When she saw Luo Ling, who was slowly walking towards them, Concubine Zhu's smile froze.
Concubine Zheng also saw Luo Ling, she leisurely straightened her appearance, staring at Luo Ling's figure without knowing the meaning, and the jealousy in her eyes could not be concealed.
It's a woman, and she will be jealous of Luo Ling's beauty.
But Luo Ling was used to it, she was not arrogant and bent down, and saluted the two concubines.
"Xiahou Luoling has seen Concubine Zheng and Concubine Zhu!"
There are many concubines in the palace, although she doesn't know anyone except Concubine Xu Xian, but she has seen Concubine Zheng in front of her once.
The other she only needs to ask Dong'er a little to find out.
The two had never seen Luo Ling, and this was the first time they had greeted each other head-on.
Concubine Zheng didn't speak, but Concubine Zhu on the side asked with a smile, "Yo, it turns out that you are Xiahou Luoling?" Sure enough, she was pretty, but it's a pity that the Japanese Palace didn't go to Zhangming Palace, and missed a wonderful show! ”
Luo Ling is now the person next to the Queen Mother, and Concubine Zhu has been living in the palace for a long time, so she naturally knows how to judge the situation.
Although Concubine Zheng is as exaggerated as Concubine Zhu, she is also a little polite to Luo Ling,
"Miss Luo Ling must have walked some distance, so she might as well sit down and rest! It just so happens that the main palace is boring, and it's good to chat with multiple people. ”
"In this way, I will disturb the mother!"
Luo Ling no longer pretended to postpone it, and after thanking him in return, he sat down on the empty round stool.
"I heard that Luo Ling, you were the princess of the Great Xun Kingdom before, if you want to talk about your identity, you are still the sister of the current Emperor Daxun?" Concubine Zhu was a little curious.
When women are together, it is nothing more than chatting, and the matter of Luo Ling is spreading. These two people happened to meet now, and they had to pick up some secrets after dinner.
Anyway, the women in the harem have a lot of time.
Because Luo Ling and Princess Xiyue have always been at odds, from this point alone, the two of them will not hate her because of her bad reputation before.
Luo Ling said politely, "It's a shame to say that the folk girl was already deposed as a princess by my emperor a year ago and became a concubine, and now she is just an ordinary person!" ”
When Concubine Zhu heard this, she said with a somewhat habitual yin and yang weird aura, "This is also from a princess, but this princess in our palace is not as good as others..."
"I heard that the nine kings of your country, Xiahou Yan, are in the palace today, presumably the nine kings came here this time to discuss the marriage, maybe it won't be long before that? As soon as the two countries get married, Luo Ling, will you be able to return to Daxun? ”
It was Concubine Zheng's snatching words that made Concubine Zhu, who was not tight-lipped, immediately react to something and shut her mouth.
If Luo Ling had heard these words before, she might have been sad, but now she knows Xiahou Yan's thoughts very well, and she will definitely not listen to Concubine Zheng's instigation and reveal any compassionate look.
She just smiled slightly, with a shallow politeness,
"It's the best, whether the people's daughter can return to Daxun is secondary. The princess marriage is about the harmony of the two countries, and this is the most important thing! ”
After listening to Luo Ling's words, a look of disbelief appeared on the faces of the two. Could it be that the rumors are false? Xiahou Luoling's appearance obviously doesn't care about Xiahou Yan at all?
Concubine Zheng began to doubt the rumors about Xiahou Luoling that she had heard before.
Concubine Zhu couldn't help but speak, "I heard that the Nine Princesses Xiahou Yan also brought the Nine Princesses to the banquet together, I really don't know if the Nine Princesses will give way to Princess Xiyue?" Luo Ling, what do you think about this? After all, you are a member of the Great Lord's Kingdom, what do you think of the feelings of this Nine Kings for the Nine Princesses? ”
Is this Concubine Zhu deliberately tempting her?
"Hehe, it seems that Niangniang asked the wrong person, such a question, I'm afraid only the Nine Kings themselves know!"
Concubine Zhu didn't say anything more, just laughed dryly.
Concubine Zheng sat for a long time and it was useless, so she stretched out her hand to let the palace maid on the side help her, "When the wind blows, the palace will go back to change clothes first!" Sister Zhu, Miss Luoling, this palace will go first! ”
Concubine Zheng has always been a cautious person, but Concubine Zhu is a mouthful, in case she sits down again, she is afraid that something will go wrong.
Xiahou Luoling is not a master to be messed with, so the Queen Mother can send so many people to protect her... Concubine Zheng has been in the palace for so many years, and it is commonplace to deceive. She never disdained that she was in any trouble, and it was better to leave early so as not to cause trouble.
Concubine Zhu kept a sigh, but seeing that Concubine Zheng had the intention of leaving, she didn't have to force her to stay.
Luo Ling got up and saluted Concubine Zheng.
Concubine Zheng is gone, and Concubine Zhu can't stay any longer, even if she wants to gossip again. I just feel that it is sober.
"Now that Sister Concubine Zheng is gone, then the palace should also go back, Miss Luoling, you slowly appreciate this imperial garden!"
For Luo Ling, neither of them is hostile, after all, as long as there is no conflict of interest in the palace, they prefer to live in harmony on the surface, and it is better to have multiple friends than multiple enemies! Although Luo Ling is only a commoner now, she is not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later she will become a climate.
"Concubine Zhu is slow!" Lorin called her.
Concubine Zhu, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at her with some suspicion, "What does Miss Luo Ling want to say to this palace?" ”
"Can you take a step to speak?"
Luo Ling is a little mysterious, although she and Concubine Zhu are surrounded by people, but there are some things that she dare not be careless.
Concubine Zhu was a little curious, so she naturally nodded, but she wanted to see what Luo Ling, who had never known her life, was going to tell her?
The two of them took two steps towards the flowers, and the palace maids naturally knew how to look at their eyes and did not follow.
"Say it! What are you going to say to Hongu? ”
Luo Ling hooked her lips and smiled, although Concubine Zhu married the royal family as a concubine, according to the taboo, Luo Ling would not know about her.
But this Concubine Zhu has only been in the palace for two years, and the royal atmosphere is not strong enough, and she can see a little bit of it.
"Is Niangniang tired lately, often sleepy in the afternoon, and likes to eat stimulating food?"
Concubine Zhu glanced at Luo Ling suspiciously, her pupils contracted, "How do you know?" ”
"When I saw that my mother's eyebrows were ruddy and shiny, I knew that it was a happy event, and in this case, most of them were pregnant!" Luo Ling guessed, and there was no 100% certainty.
However, when she heard the news, Concubine Zhu's whole person looked excited, and she suppressed her voice for fear that others would hear something.
"Really? Is Hongu pregnant?"
"Niangniang must not be silent now, although Niangniang is now the master of a palace, it is better to be careful in this palace, this matter should not be publicized! If it is known by someone with a heart, I am afraid it will not be good for the mother! Niangniang can secretly ask the imperial doctor to come and ask for a pulse. ”
After Luo Ling finished speaking, Concubine Zhu immediately nodded, and her tone became more cautious.
"You're right, Hongu knows! If this palace is really pregnant this time, Luo Ling will be in this palace in the future. As long as this palace can help you, you just have to speak! ”
Concubine Zhu looked at Luo Ling's eyes at this moment with a little more trust and less suspicion. Counting the days, she postponed her routine for several days this month, because it was only a few days, and this situation had happened before, so she didn't care.
Although she also felt that this woman could see that she was pregnant at a glance, it was unrealistic, after all, the imperial doctor still had to take the pulse to know, and she could know it just by looking at her face?
But this news will be very happy for any concubine's turn, with a son to rely on, and even better with a princess! In this Liang State Palace, the princess may be more popular than the prince, just like Princess Xiyue.
