Chapter 473: The Comer Is Not Good
Concubine Mi Guifei heard from the palace maid early in the morning that the Empress Dowager had recruited the county lord of Huixin into the palace.
Originally, Concubine Mi was still a little puzzled, the princess in this palace, and the county lords of the marquis' palaces, none of them were named Huixin, where did this Huixin county lord come from?
The palace maid has been in the direction of the Marshal's Mansion outside the palace, and Concubine Mi Guifei instantly understood - the county lord of Huixin, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, the county lord of Huixin who is about to become the heroine of Prince Rui's mansion.
Concubine Mi squinted, and a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. She held a teacup and asked as if unintentionally: "The daughter of the Qin Xiang family who remembers this palace seems to be about the same age as the county lord of Huixin?" β
The palace maid nodded and said, "Yes, Niangniang, Miss Qin is the admirer of Lord Rui."
The smile on the corner of Mi Guifei's mouth became brighter and brighter, "I heard that Miss Qin is both talented and beautiful, and she is not inferior to the eldest girl in the Lejia family. But now the relationship between the county lord of Huixin and King Rui is also a sure thing, the palace is a little curious, King Rui doesn't even look down on Miss Qin, but he is not against the marriage with the lord of Huixin, what kind of charm does this lord of Huixin have to take down King Rui, who is not close to women. β
The palace maid stood aside and did not answer, but her head hung lower. Concubine Mi didn't care if the palace maid answered herself, she got up slowly from the soft couch, and instructed with interest: "Go, go to the Qin Mansion and invite the Qin girl into the palace, just say that the palace is boring, let the Qin girl come to the palace to accompany me to relieve my boredom."
The palace maid agreed, and soon left the dormitory. But after a while, he turned back and knocked on the door and said, "Niangniang, Miss Han is here."
Miss Han is the niece of Concubine Mi, and Han Zhen's daughter, who is eighteen years old.
This girl's temperament is also spoiled by the family, and Concubine Mi doesn't like this girl very much on weekdays, because she wants to marry her eldest son wholeheartedly. Concubine Mi has been working hard for the second prince, for that position, how could she let the second prince marry the pampered Han Hao'er. In Mi Guifei's heart, the best choice for a daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Qin Xiang family.
But today, Concubine Mi did not let the palace maid send Han Hao'er away, but ordered the palace maid to wait.
Soon Qin Rou entered the palace, and Concubine Mi changed into extremely luxurious clothes and led the two girls towards Qingxuan Palace.
The guards at the gate of Qingxuan Palace were single-handedly issued by Prince Rui, loyal to the prince and loyal to the empress dowager. When he saw the sedan chair of the concubine from a distance, he reported to the palace maid and eunuch inside. But today, the palace maids are all making mochi dumplings in the palace middle school, and there is no one guarding the door at all. The guard waited for Honey Guifei's sedan chair to enter with a straight face, and then said loudly: "Honey Guifei has arrived!"
These guards have more or less internal force in their bodies, and they can be heard by half of the Qingxuan Hall when they shout!
The little eunuch guarding the door of the store was startled and hurriedly reported inside.
"Lord Niangniang, Concubine Mi is here, just outside the palace."
Hua Qingyan paused in her hand and looked at the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager's movements also stopped, she wiped her mouth and wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed over by Aunt Ping, "Tidy up for the county lord, let's pick up the guests." β
Hua Qingyan: "......"
Inexplicably, there is a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu of the top brand of the Qinglou to pick up customers!
Hua Qingyan hurriedly shook off the cranky thoughts in her mind and let Aunt Ping help her tidy up her clothes. Another little palace maid called water to help Hua Qingyan wash her hands clean, and smeared them with incense powder. After finishing these, Hua Qingyan sniffed herself, and she really couldn't smell anything except the fragrance of flowers.
The Empress Dowager led Hua Qingyan to sit down in the main hall, and asked Aunt Ping to take the two children away to play, so as not to hurt the two children after a while. The two sat down, and the maid served tea and snacks. Hua Qingyan subconsciously looked at Lou Xueyan sitting in the middle, and was stunned by the momentum emanating from Lou Xueyan for a while.
Hua Qingyan returned to her senses, and she only now realized the fact that her aunt and grandmother were the queen mother and the mother of a country. Looking at Lou Xueyan who is now holding a shelf, Hua Qingyan is a little glad that although she will marry into the emperor's family in the future, she doesn't have to be the mother of the country, and she doesn't have to be restrained and hold the shelf. She can still live freely.
There was already a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Hua Qingyan subconsciously sat up straight. Soon, a bright yellow figure walked in.
Bright yellow.
Hua Qingyan frowned, although Da Qi was not in the history she knew in her previous life, but she had read so much history and watched so many historical dramas, she still knew the meaning of the bright yellow of the feudal dynasty.
Bright yellow and pure black were the colors that only the emperor could use, and the cloth used in the dragon robe and the emperor's bedroom was bright yellow, embroidered with dragon patterns and auspicious clouds. Black is used relatively rarely, but it also represents supremacy, and most of the emperor's civilian clothes are pure black, pure black that is darker than the night. The same is true in Daqi.
Prince Rui is the most respected prince and the regent above 10,000 people, so he is allowed to wear pure black, and his civilian clothes are also pure black embroidered with four-clawed dragon patterns.
Therefore, the black fabrics on the folk market are not pure black, if you look closely, you can find that there are some other embroidery patterns mixed with purple and brown.
The queen's court dress is golden red, and even if the concubine is favored, it can only be the same as the queen's, and it can't be bright yellow.
And now, this honey concubine is wearing a bright yellow dress, and only four words flashed in Hua Qingyan's mind - the person who came is not good.
"See the Empress Dowager!" Mi Guifei laughed before speaking, and giggled several times before saluting the Queen Mother, but this ceremony was done very casually, and she bent her knees softly without the intention of kneeling, and she staggered. If it weren't for someone around to help her, this honey concubine would have fallen crookedly.
What's even more excessive is that this honey concubine stood up without the consent of the Queen Mother, and casually pulled the two girls beside her.
Hua Qingyan felt that the atmosphere in the hall was gradually solidifying, so heavy that she was a little breathless. Hua Qingyan shook her hand and glanced at the Empress Dowager cautiously.
The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and drank tea quietly, as if she did not exist as a honey concubine.
Concubine Mi didn't seem to care about the Empress Dowager's attitude, and her eyes rolled flexibly, falling on Hua Qingyan's body with interest.
Hua Qingyan has always kept in mind the advice of the Empress Dowager, this honey concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she must deal with it carefully. So when Concubine Mi looked over, Hua Qingyan subconsciously straightened her back and stood up and saluted Concubine Mi, "Qingyan has seen Concubine Niangniang." β
"This is Lord Huixin!" Mi Guifei walked further and looked at Hua Qingyan carefully, and then covered her mouth and smiled, "Sure enough, it is one in a thousand miles of the country and the city, no wonder King Rui never forgets the county lord." β
As soon as Concubine Mi said this, Hua Qingyan obviously felt that there were more eyes on her, and one of them was even a little strange. Hua Qingyan looked up and saw that a girl beside Concubine Mi was staring at her, her eyes were extremely strange, mixed with envy, jealousy, but more resentment.
Concubine Mi also noticed it, covered her mouth and smiled again: "Look at my memory, I haven't introduced it to the Empress Dowager and the county lord yet, these two are famous and noble girls, the daughters of our Daqi minister's family." Concubine Mi pulled one of the girls in blue clothes, "This is my niece, Han Hao'er, the other one, I wonder if the county lord has heard of the Qin family?" This is the Qin Rou Qin girl of the Qin Xiang family who bravely pursues the love of her heart, what Miss Qin is pursuing, isn't it our Rui Wangye! β
Speaking of which, where does Hua Qingyan still not understand, isn't this Honey Concubine here to find fault today.
Knowing that she, the fiancΓ©e of Prince Rui who was married by the emperor, was here, and she also brought Prince Rui's suitor Qin Rou over, thinking that this honey concubine wanted to think about what happened between her and this Qin Rou, and she should be good-looking and lively.
Hua Qingyan felt that this Qin Rou was the daughter of the Qin Xiang family after all, and her brain should not be stupid. However, looking at Qin Rou's eyes when she looked at her, she looked like she was carried away by jealousy, and it was difficult not to make trouble.
Compared with Qin Rou, Han Hao'er was much friendlier, and she took Hua Qingyan's hand, looked at her curiously, and then sighed: "You are the county lord of Huixin, Hao'er has heard a lot of things about you, are those snacks and delicacies from you?" How did you come up with that! Teach me too! I want to make it for Brother Yi! β
"Brother Yi?" Hua Qingyan was puzzled.
"It's the second prince!" Han Hao'er immediately said, "I like Brother Yi, I heard that you often cook food for Prince Rui, and the prince likes it too, you can teach me, I also want Brother Yi to like me more!" β
Hua Qingyan wanted to retract what she had said before, but she already felt that her gaze on the side was even more burning and resentful. This Han Feng'er didn't know whether she was innocent or scheming, and three or two sentences provoked Qin Rou to hate her even more.
Concubine Mi had already found a place to sit down on her own, as if she was letting the three of them young girls talk by themselves, and she also turned a deaf ear to Han Hao'er's declaration.
Han Hao'er obviously didn't feel that the atmosphere was inappropriate, and still said, "I also heard that you can make wine, why don't you give this to me too?" I want to think about it, Brother Yi's taste is actually similar to that of Rui Wangye, you can give me all the dishes you know, otherwise I'll go to your house, eh? Do you live in your own mansion or in the mansion of King Rui now? β
Hua Qingyan said with a stiff smile: "Naturally, I live in my own house, but the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is the house rewarded by the emperor, as the county lord, how can I live in someone else's house." β
"But......" Han Hao'er pouted, "But I heard that King Rui loves you very much, why didn't you live in King Rui's mansion?" β
