Chapter 4: Provocation
Huxizi (here began to change his surname to "Hu") received the palace maid's clothes and went to the palace maid's room to change clothes.
This palace maid's room is a large three-room room, and the beds in it are placed side by side one next to each other, and the foot of the bed is very low, about 10 cm from the ground, which looks a bit like tatami mats. The quilts on the bed are all neatly colored dark blue.
The floor tiles under her feet were slightly rough stone, spliced together one by one, and although the grid formed was not as large as what she saw on the street, it was also neat!
On the left side of the room are two small tables for four people with suitable stools, and on the right are two screens with paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects.
At this time, it was only in the afternoon, and the palace maids who lived with her had not yet returned.
Hu Xizi turned around and closed the door, taking the palace maid's dress around the screen, but the space behind it was not as large as expected!
I saw that there were two black carved cabinets behind the screen. The distance between the cabinet and the screen is only one meter wide, and if you open the cabinet door, you can't change clothes in this space very freely.
Hu Xizi changed into a palace maid's clothes, looked down at the "female monarch's clothes" he threw on the ground, and said to himself: "It's a pity to lose it, why don't you wash it?" ”
Having made up her mind, she threw her dirty laundry on the shelf next to her, ready to ask where they were to wash their clothes when the palace maids who lived with her came back!
She has already been to the garden, and it turns out that the "rockery" that the eunuch took her around is the queen mother's garden! But to be honest, this ancient person is very cultural! actually made a "meandering water" in her garden, but I don't know if the queen mother will also feast on literati and elegant guests from all walks of life to drink and make poems?
Just when she was worried that she had nowhere to go, a little eunuch with a raw eye walked towards her from a distance.
There was no one else around, and Hu Xizi knew that he must have come to find her, so he calmly waited in place.
The little eunuch trotted over, and saw that Hu Xizi, who had changed into a dress and put on a simple palace maid's dress, had lost his previous coercion, but had a little more flowing aura, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of amazement, and he couldn't help but speak a little softer: "Pot girl, the Queen Mother is invited!" ”
"But I just came out of the Queen Mother?"
The soft voice makes people sound defenseless.
Thinking of the dignified female monarch of a country, now the tiger has fallen in Pingyang, it is really pitiful! The little eunuch couldn't help but reveal to her: "It's all the ladies in the harem who came to greet the queen mother, I heard that the girl has arrived, and I want to meet the girl!" ”
Hehe, it's really better to say than to sing, I don't know, I thought they wanted to see their relatives! Concubines, right? I'm bored!
"Then what are you waiting for, don't go quickly!" The soft and glutinous voice suddenly rose, although it sounded like a heroic child, but the murderous aura in Hu Xizi's eyes really scared the little eunuch - worthy of being a female monarch of a country! In the future, you still can't just look at your face!
Hall of Longevity.
As soon as Hu Xizi stepped into the threshold, he saw a uniform gaze looking towards him. She saw jealousy in their eyes without exception!
The more prominent are the three concubines standing in the first place, although their clothes look very low-key, and even the hair ornaments on their heads are just two simple steps, but if you look closely, you will find that there are fine carvings on the two simple steps! There are also beautiful dark lines on the clothes! This is something that the concubines in the back can't have at the same time!
Therefore, Hu Xizi concluded that the first three must be the big names in the harem, and their status is at least at the level of concubines!
Sure enough, Man Tingfang saw Hu Xizi coming in, stared at the third concubine in a daze, and deliberately introduced her: "This is Concubine Hua, good at playing the piano." ”
Hu Xizi followed her direction and looked at a woman on the far right in a long pink dress with emerald-encrusted steps.
Wear red and green? Bad review!
Man Tingfang pointed to the middle one again: "This is Concubine Rong, who is good at chess." ”
Hu Xizi glanced at it, there is no problem with the matching color of this one, but the sick beauty's face is still wearing such plain clothes, and it doesn't look as festive as her palace maid! Bad review!
"The last one is Concubine Yue, and her calligraphy is a must."
As soon as Hu Xizi looked up, she saw that Concubine Nayue threw a friendly look at her.
More active than her?! Bad review! Bad review!
Flower Rongyue? Add "appearance" to form a sentence!
As soon as Hu Xizi thought like this, he saw the "flower" on the far right couldn't wait to come out, covered his mouth pretentiously and smiled: "The Queen Mother is really overrated, if you are good at this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, who can compare to Sister Mao Guifei?" ”
I'll go, and I really have a "look"! Does this emperor have any misunderstanding of "flowers and moons"? Look at his concubines, which one looks like the moon???
When Man Tingfang heard Concubine Hua praising her niece, she immediately smiled from ear to ear. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Concubine Hua quietly pointed the finger at Hu Xizi, "I don't know what talent the pot girl will have?" ”
Hu Xizi said truthfully: "I don't know anything!" ”
Her words immediately pleased a group of women, especially the trumpet flower, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, no! The girl is a female monarch of a country, how can she not know anything? Could it be that the people of Xizi Country are so incompetent? ”
As she spoke, she also glanced at Man Tingfang with her eyes silently, and seeing that Man Tingfang looked happy, she exaggerated her tone even more presumptuously!
In this regard, Huxizi only felt bored! Could it be that this is the Gong Dou she was looking forward to? Is it just a war of words? It's so boring!
She will have two reactions when she is bored, the first is to do things! But now it's clear that the conditions don't allow it - she still wants to continue to mix here!
Second, I lose interest, become numb, and only say two words "yes" and "good" when I ask anything!
Seeing her nodding indifferently, Concubine Hua suddenly choked, at this time, if she suddenly laughed out loud, it might be a little abrupt!
The other women's faces were full of surprise - this woman is crazy? She doesn't even care about her own country anymore! No wonder the country will be destroyed, faint king!
Man Tingfang thought differently! She felt that Hu Xizi must be a scheming person, otherwise Xiziguo would not be so difficult to win! Moreover, this woman also killed Qin Zhenyu with her own hands! Qin Zhenyu grew up watching her, she knows what her ability is, even if it is the credit of the courtiers to her as she said, it also shows how afraid the courtiers are of her!
"You go down first!" Man Tingfang shook his hand tiredly at Hu Xizi.
Huxizi was pardoned, and left the hall with a jump.
It was very embarrassing for Concubine Hua to stand outside alone, she was the one who made the Queen Mother happy, and she was the one who annoyed the Queen Mother! She decided to say something to redeem it.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Man Tingfang wave his hand again and said, "You all should retreat!" Mourning the family! ”
"Tai ......" Concubine Hua didn't give up, she barely spoke, she felt that someone had pulled her sleeves, she looked back, and saw Concubine Yue slowly shaking her head towards her, she had to shut up and retreat with the concubines.
