Chapter 7: Concubines (1)
The two of them talked about the situation in the palace.
In just two days, I couldn't see the side, but I only saw that the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi was in power in the six palaces, although Concubine Qi Shufei was the most respectful and took care of affairs, but now she has no friends. Liu Anran's position as a beauty is also the daughter of an important minister, and I think I can't avoid those partisan disputes.
So pillow spring is selfishly glad to be up. A small treasure forest is insignificant, so naturally there is no need to wade in this troubled water.
The two chatted for a while, and then had lunch. Xu Youliu Anran came as a guest, and the kitchen of Yongning Palace had a lot of hearts, including a chicken with osmanthus sauce, a pot of stuffy crucian carp soup, and shrimp tofu, jade rabbit cabbage, and lotus rolls. Liu Anran went back with a strike, she lived in Qiyang Palace in the East Sixth Palace, and it was a long time to walk away from this Yongning Palace, so it was inconvenient to stay.
Pillow Spring had nothing to do, and rewarded the good dishes to the next person, so he pondered what Liu Anran said about playing the finch card. I simply called magnolia, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms to come over and talk about the rules of playing finch cards. In the future, if the night is long and lonely and dull, it is good for the four of them to be stubborn together.
On the first night, there was no accident, Mu Beiyi ordered the roster of Mo nobles.
Northern Xinjiang repelled the disturbing barbarians, and Mu Beiyi gave the generals and ministers of the northern expedition a celebration banquet at Danfeng Bailu Zhai during dinner. After eating, Long Yuan went from Fontainebleau to Fuguiju where the Mo nobles lived in the Yufu Palace in the west.
When passing by Yongning Palace, Pillow Chun heard the sound of the golden and jade chariot outside, which was very majestic at first glance. Walking out of the door of Qiyunxuan, I looked up and saw that there were magnificent lights and candles outside the red wall, illuminating half of the sky, and even the stars could not take away its brilliance. The light of the lamp and candle faded away with the sound of the chariot, and the Yongning Palace dimmed and became dark. From a distance, the sky dome of the Yufu Palace in the distance is particularly brilliant.
Pillow Chun thought to himself, the Millennium Hall of Yufu Palace is inhabited by Concubine Mi, what is she like today?
The next day, please settle in the Zhaoyun Palace of Concubine Qi.
The huge Zhaoyun Palace carved fence and painted wall, one hall, two pavilions and three halls, only one person lives in Qi Shufei, and it can be regarded as supreme dignity. Today, she will make a hairpin flower updo, which is a very precious jade white trembling wind in March. It is decorated with a pair of hairpins, a pair of bracelets, and a pair of earrings, all of which are white jade of the same color, moist and glowing. Concubine Qi Shu sat in the highest position in the Chaohua Palace, playing with a white lotus jade Ruyi, gentle as water: "Sisters work hard, you don't have to come so early in the future." ”
"Niangniang is sympathetic to everyone, but some people can't understand this heart." Liu Meiren is pink today, and she is more delicate than flowers, "Mo Guiren is still in the future at this time, don't you want to wait for her alone?" Although she said this, Liu Meiren's face was hard to hide, "In the end, it is the first one, and it is naturally different from us." ”
"It's not uncommon to think that it's a hard day or a bad day." Concubine Qi said this a little explicitly.
As soon as the words fell, he saw a red cloud in a hurry, and the Mo nobleman was helped into the Chaohua Hall by his personal maid. She deliberately wore a well-tailored water-red dress today, and her head was also combed with a high bun, and the hairpin was a precious fire alchemy pill, which looked like a red cloud from a distance: "The concubine is late, and I ask the mother to punish her." ”
Concubine Qi's eyebrows moved, and she said softly: "It's okay, but it's a little later." You have this heart to ask for sin, this palace is very happy, I want to come to the six palaces to tell His Majesty, all learn from your humility. ”
When Liu Meiren heard this, she suddenly became anxious, and only slapped her hand on the case: "Concubine Niangniang!" Why is it that you want to reward Mo Guiren when she is late? ”
Everyone was shocked and immediately burst into laughter.
Concubine Mi laughed and trembled, and the gold-inlaid jade steps on her head shook loudly: "What is a trivial matter, Liu Meiren should not be angry." As soon as her eyes were bent, there were thousands of charms, "Sister Shufei, teach me to tell me, it is good for good birds to choose trees to perch on, but it is better to lack them than to use them." ”
Mo Guiren was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "This-Concubine Niangniang, the concubine just knew that she was wrong, and asked to copy a volume of scriptures as a punishment." ”
always sat behind him, and couldn't help but take a handkerchief to cover his lips, and the corners of his mouth were difficult to suppress and slightly hooked.
is really so stupid as Liu Meiren, but it makes Concubine Qi very embarrassed. Concubine Qi said with a high-sounding face, and she wanted to praise the humble heart of Mo Cai and tell the Six Palaces. Her deep meaning is nothing more than to say, if you do this again, I will deliberately take Qiao's late day and choose a way to tell the emperor.
Concubine Qi Shufei spoke like this, and she would not really tell the matter in front of the emperor. It's nothing more than a couple of sentences with Mo Guiren, and Mo Guiren will confess and punish again, so as to save Concubine Qi's face today.
I didn't expect Liu Meiren to be so stupid, not only did she not hear the meaning, but she also cut off Concubine Qi's words. Concubine Qi opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to give up and say, "That's it...... Copy a volume of the Heart Sutra and give it to the Queen Mother. ”
Liu Meiren nodded: "Concubine Shu is wise." ”
The crowd laughed even more.
Liu Meiren was quite puzzled when she saw that everyone had a playful look on their faces, especially Concubine Mi and Mo Guiren who smiled crookedly. She didn't dare to ask Concubine Mi, and she was embarrassed to ask Mo Guiren, she looked around, and her eyes locked on the last row of pillow spring who covered her lips with silk: "Which concubine are you, why are you laughing?" ”
Pillow Chun's movements froze, and then he got up, but he didn't smile anymore, but only saluted: "The concubine is Baolin An's family, but she hasn't laughed." ”
"You obviously blocked it with that handkerchief, and the corners of your mouth were crooked, I saw it so real!"
Pillow Chun glanced at Concubine Qi's expression, but he didn't see the obvious state of insecurity, which shows that Concubine Qi Shufei is well-cultivated. She said with a straight face: "The concubine sees that Concubine Qi Shuniang is merciful and merciful, let's be happy with Mu Ende." ”
Although Pillow Spring is a few nonsense words, Liu Meiren is suspicious, and looks Pillow Chun up and down: "I want to come to you for a little Baolin, and I don't dare to deceive me." ”
Concubine Qi couldn't bear to see it, so she covered her face with her sleeves and coughed softly: "That's it, this matter is over." Then he showed them tea.
After a few boring words, I saw Mu Beiyi's personal servant Feng Tang come to announce the decree. It may be that the Mo nobles are very sacred, and after serving in bed, they were promoted to the position of five-grade concubine, and they were also named "恣".
Pillow Chun thought, although the concubine of the Mo family is very favored, and it seems that she is the first person under Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi, but the word "恣" is not so noble. It is not about virtue or praise, but it means to be unscrupulous. It's probably between the Mo's pillow seats, and it's very capable.
So out of the door of the Chaohua Palace, the Mo nobles became concubines, and the fire alchemy pill on their heads was particularly gorgeous.
In the next few days, Mu Beiyi never entered the harem, and came twice in the middle of the year, so he went to see Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi respectively.
On the third day, Mu Beiyi ordered Liu Meiren's roster, but the next day, he was not promoted to Liu Meiren, but only gave some jewelry. I think it is Liu Meiren's words and deeds that are not happy.
In the end, Pillow Chun likes people like Liu Meiren in his heart. It's not meticulous and calculating, it's a little stupid, a little coquettish, it's cute, and it's easy to deal with.
