Chapter 18: Concubine Shu Greets the Queen's Mother
When she woke up, Wanrong saw that the pillow was empty. When did the emperor leave, Wanrong looked around with a blank face.
"The emperor has left at five o'clock, and the emperor has instructed you not to alarm you and let you sleep well." Eunuch Sun looked at the queen with a confused face and dared to explain tightly.
In this way, Wanrong listened to the warmth, but there was a little loss, because she slept all night, her clothes were in good condition, and the two of them said that they were tired, and when they slept deeply, they did not change their clothes. One night, a young man didn't have the slightest impulse for her.
The middle of the two quilts is like the Chu River Han Realm, and he doesn't even have a thunder pool.
"Is he in love or not? Say love! She really wished he could have her, but he didn't, not even a kiss. Wanrong touched the fragrant powder that still existed on her face towards herself in the mirror, and her lips were red. Say he doesn't love it, he always smiles when he talks to her. ”
Wanrong's loss and her failure to fulfill her responsibility to get up for the emperor made her feel a little ashamed that she was too sleepy.
Those words were very distressing, but what she wanted to hear most was, "Don't get up yet, go for a walk with me!" "She would rather have a domineering and unreasonable emperor present all love in front of her at a glance.
However, the mood is still very good, and the scene of two people composing poems and speaking English in bed last night always echoes in Wanrong's mind.
In the morning, under the service of the maid, she dressed up gracefully and carefully, although the emperor left early and went to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, but the mood was still very happy and sweet.
"Queen, Concubine Shu is here to say goodbye!" The eunuch came to report.
At this moment, the tea cup brought to his lips stopped.
The nose made a soft, disdainful hum sound. Because she really doesn't want another woman to share the emperor. I couldn't help but feel jealousy in my heart.
At this time, a woman with a particularly ordinary appearance bumped into Wanrong's eyes, she straightened her back, and carefully looked at the imperial concubine Wenxiu who saluted in front of her. Her black and white eyes looked intently, and her long eyelashes cast graceful shadows on her bright eyes.
"Who are you?" Obviously, the maid and the eunuch have already reported it. Wanrong's voice was tepid.
"I'm Concubine Wenxiu, and I'm here to ask the queen to come here." The voice was a little hoarse. Her eyes were lowered, not daring to look up at the haughty queen. The woman who is also the emperor, Wanrong ranks first, has a supreme position, and Wenxiu is very self-aware.
Wanrong didn't squeak, she looked down at her slender and delicate fingers very attentively, and gently removed the colorful little nail cover and put it on.
The air was embarrassingly quiet, and Concubine Shu still maintained a posture of greeting, just waiting for Wanrong to reply.
"Raise your head and let me see what the emperor's concubine looks like?" Wanrong maintained a noble sitting posture.
Wen Xiu raised her head and stared at the queen with a pair of eyes, this was the first real meeting between them as the emperor's woman.
The skin is dark and coarse, and the facial features are well-defined, but there is no feminine soft beauty at all. What's more, she doesn't have a face that can smile, and her eyes are staring and won't move. Wanrong looked at Wen Xiu with disdain.
"What day did you enter the palace?" The tone is very textureless, like a person's muttering.
"I entered the palace the day before the queen." Concubine Shu replied very cautiously, her tone trembled a little, she clearly felt the queen's domineering and domineering momentum.
"Do you know why you had to go to the palace the day before? Is it because she is beautiful or does she please the emperor? Wanrong's voice was calm, without a little undulation, but there was a kind of calm lake water that was like thin ice, and the cold air was rising.
"According to the law, on the day of the queen's wedding, the knees are crisp to welcome the arrival of the queen!" Concubine Shu replied politely.
"Then you didn't greet the queen that day. Are you the first person who dares to violate the ancestral marriage rules, do you ignore the ancestral marriage rules or do you want to oppose me? Wanrong's voice had an inviolable rage.
"I was ready to welcome the arrival of the queen, but the eunuch sent a message, saying that the emperor sent an edict, and there was no need to greet him, saying that some etiquette could be waived." Concubine Shu said.
"How do you say it is very much to your liking, did you connive at the eunuch to send a message to the emperor?" Wanrong's voice was still cold.
"Concubine Shu is a million people who dare not go against the queen, I am just a concubine who has just come in, and I listen to the eunuch for everything. So please calm the Queen's anger! Besides, the day I entered the Forbidden City, I didn't see the emperor. Yesterday was to the queen to ask for peace, only to hear the emperor is talking with the queen, so it is inconvenient to come to disturb, so I have to go back, although there is rudeness, but also ask the queen for forgiveness. Concubine Shu hurriedly defended herself.
Wanrong saw Concubine Shu's frightened look, the corners of her mouth flashed a smug smile, she picked up the delicate teacup, took a sip of tea very elegantly and gently, and looked at Concubine Shufei who looked like a poor person in her eyes.
