Chapter 223: Turning to Ashes
Hua Tong introduced: "Mother, this is my sister, named Hua Rui. ”
Hua Rui took a step forward and wanted to kowtow to Concubine Shu again.
No, at this time, Concubine Shu knocked on her side with her slightly longer and Dancôme-dyed nails.
Hua Tong knew that Concubine Shu was preventing Hua Rui from kowtowing to her again, which was both a disapproval and a test.
But if Huarui really stopped, I was afraid that she would be picked out by this high-ranking concubine.
I don't want Hua Rui to be unaffected in any way, and the action of kneeling on the ground again is still as standard as before.
Hua Tong secretly praised Hua Rui in his heart.
I don't want Concubine Shu to suddenly raise her hand and slam the teacup she had just put down on the ground.
Hua Tong couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Hua Rui naturally didn't see Concubine Shu's movements, only felt a gust of wind, followed by the sound of porcelain exploding in her ears.
Hua Tong's heart also tightened suddenly with this voice, but saw that Hua Rui just quietly finished her kowtowing action, as if she did not show a trace of panic, and her movements were not affected at all.
This is the real style of everyone's beauty.
Hua Tong showed a satisfied smile!
Concubine Shu's face was also much looser than just now.
"Get up." Concubine Shu waved her onion-like fingers again, and the red nails painted with Dancôme were extra dazzling, adding a sense of momentum to her whole person.
Hua Tong knew that Hua Rui had passed Concubine Shu's test one step.
The palace maid beside Concubine Shu cleaned up the fragments of the tea cup on the ground and re-served the tea.
Hua Rui stood up again, raised her eyes and smiled politely at Concubine Shu, the smile was bright but not too dazzling.
Hua Rui's appearance is not the best at home, but she looks very regular, giving people a very serious and obedient feeling.
Aren't all old people like such juniors?
"What books have you read?" Concubine Shu rubbed her bright red nails as if they were about to drip blood, and asked casually.
"Hui Niangniang, "Female Commandments", "Internal Training", "Female Analects" and "Female Fan Jielu", I have rarely read anything else except these books."
How to answer is naturally Hua Tong's teaching, Hua Rui just pays attention to the speed of speech, and the demeanor must be downright and generous.
"How's the needlegirl doing?"
Hua Rui took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and put it on with both hands, and the thrush bird on it was vivid as if it was about to spread its wings and fly out, lining the nails on Concubine Shu's hands more gorgeously.
Concubine Shu likes thrushes the most.
"You embroidered it yourself?"
Hua Rui bowed her head, "The folk girl is not talented, and her favorite thing is embroidery." ”
"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented." Concubine Shu was an old-fashioned woman, and after she finished speaking, she picked up the newly replaced teacup in her hand again, and asked lightly, "How old is the family?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Hua Tong only felt like a drum in his heart.
I hope that Concubine Shu will not care about Hua Rui's identity, and hope that this last level can pass smoothly.
"Hui Niangniang, the sixth in the little girl's family."
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, why is she the sixth in line?
The news that came from before doesn't seem to be this person, is it a trick?
Concubine Shu's hand to uncover the tea lid suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes widened, and she could see the anger burning more and more inside.
A cup full of hot tea smashed into Hua Tong's body, burning her a little dazed.
Then the concubine scolded angrily: "What do you think, a slut, that you want my emperor to marry a lowly concubine who can't be on the stage to be a princess?" ”
Hua Tong was a little unsteady on her feet, but she felt that the smell of the tea soup made her feel pungent, so that she could barely open her eyes, and even had some difficulty breathing.
She's so angry!
Her mother-in-law has been difficult for her for so many years, and seeing that she is going to die, she still refuses to fulfill her.
How can she say that she also gave birth to the eldest son of King Su, and this evil mother-in-law still has to embarrass her for this one thing that has been promised.
Thinking of Brother Lin, Hua Tong suppressed the idea of wanting to step forward and bite Concubine Shu.
She can't give up all her efforts, even if Hua Rui can't...... She also has replacement cards to play.
Hua Rui stood on the side, although only a few drops of tea fell on her embroidered shoes, but she felt that the hot tea seemed to be splashed on her face, making her face hot......
"I agreed to let you choose a step-concubine in the family, which is already extraordinarily gracious, and you have to make an inch. Back then, you were already considered to be married, but now you have a concubine to fill the number. ”
Concubine Shu patted her side a few taller, "Even if the emperor wants to set up a side concubine, he doesn't have to choose a lowly concubine." ”
finally suppressed a little anger, and threatened: "If you don't want to cherish this opportunity, then forget it." Although she is a step-concubine, this girl from the Guogong Mansion in the capital also has to let me pick it hard. ”
Hua Tong shook off the support of the glass, knelt on the ground with a plop, and didn't care about the pain when his hand accidentally pressed on the fragment, "Mother, daughter-in-law is wrong!" You give your daughter-in-law another chance, and this time your daughter-in-law must choose a righteous daughter of the Zhang family. ”
"Humph!" Concubine Shu sneered, "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." After speaking, he got up and was helped into the inner room by the palace maid who was waiting.
Concubine Shu left, and Hua Rui also sat on the ground as if she had exhausted her strength.
Concubine Shu's humble identity continued to surround her ears.
It turned out that all her efforts were in vain.
Who can change their fate through their own efforts, this is all a lie.
No matter how hard she tries, she can't change her status as a concubine.
No matter how hard she tries, she can't change the way people treat her as a lowly person.
All her efforts turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, and all her faith collapsed in an instant.
…………
Hua Jin got off the sedan chair, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the plaque hanging on the colorful lintel of the palace in front of him had three big characters of Cining Palace written on it.
It's such a strange place.
The gaze moved downward, and the folds of the red lacquered gilt wooden door shone brightly, and the light was dazzling.
"Concubine Jing has arrived." There was already a eunuch at the door.
Concubine Jing smiled lightly, looked back at Hua Jin and bowed slightly, motioning for her to follow behind her.
Stepping over the high threshold, he entered the main hall of Cining Palace.
In the main hall, the queen mother, who is more than half a hundred years old, is sitting on the top, although her face has traces of time, but her temperament is rich and compelling, and the palace clothes on her body make her very graceful.
The main hall also sat the concubines and the ladies of the noble family.
Hua Jin saw a lot of familiar faces, including the Feng Wu girl who didn't have a good reputation.
It wasn't until he saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Chen of the Duke of Xu Guo Mansion that Hua Jin's mood became happy, and Xu Chen quietly winked at her.
These ladies naturally wanted to get up to give a salute to the concubine, and Hua Jin also gave a big salute to the queen mother in a dignified manner.
After that, he gave a salute to the concubines and his wife present, which was another excitement. 2k reading web
