Chapter 189: Concubine Zhen
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still held in the Taihe Hall. Candidates for the banquet as usual. And nothing special. Just compared to last year. In the end, there is more Su Jingxi. The Queen Mother is missing.
Su Jingxi didn't have much of a concept of these. Because none of that matters. What matters is how blockbuster it is. After having Zong Zhengjun. She is paying more and more attention to her own maintenance. Women are the ones who please themselves. She didn't want to get through it so hard. but he is old and old.
Although Zong Zhengjin is almost thirty years old. But he doesn't look old at all. It looks like someone in his early twenties. Handsome and compelling. And like a wolf. Extremely healthy. Su Jingxi didn't want to be more than ten years younger than him. One day stood by his side. will make others feel older than him.
Such a scene. She didn't want to think about it.
Listen to Yao and the others carefully dress her up. Su Jingxi intermittently glanced at her son, who was playing happily on the ground beside her. Since giving birth to a child. She seems to have grown taller over the course of the year. If it is calculated according to the standards of the Hereafter. Now at least one meter six or seven eight looks.
Of course. Still much shorter than him.
Dressed up. Su Jingxi glanced at the hourglass that was placed aside. It's not too early to see the hour. I just set off first. It's hard to walk in snow. If it's delayed because of something. And only after Zong Zhengjin did he enter the hall. Even if he didn't care. But it's rude after all.
Tell Dai Man and others to take care of Zong Zhengjun carefully. Su Jingxi walked out.
Taihe Temple
"Zhen Zhaoyi Niangniang has arrived." The shrill voice of the eunuch at the door announced. Su Jingxi slowly walked in. The eyes of the people around her more or less moved to her. She sensed it. But I didn't care.
Less than three years after entering the palace. But three Chinese New Year's Eve have passed. In her first year, she was new to all this. Although there is calmness, it is not as calm as it is now. In the second year, because of confinement, he escaped the verbal swords of many people. Today, in her third year, she is still here. How difficult it is.
Yes. How difficult it is.
But it's not just these three years. She will be here for the next thirty years. Those who survive are the wise. Such as her. Such as Shu Guifei.
Su Jingxi stepped on the steps step by step. Two steps to the middle. Stand and salute. "Concubine Shu Guifei Niangniang."
Su Jingxi didn't expect her to come so early. It stands to reason. With her qualifications. Even if you come with Zong Zhengjin, it's okay.
Qiao Jingshu didn't expect her to come so early. Laughed. "Sister Jane, get up quickly. My sister came early today. ”
If someone else says something like that. Su Jingxi may think that it has a deep meaning. Or a trap. But for Qiao Jingshu. She wouldn't think so. It will only be taken as a superficial meaning.
A few days ago, the eldest son of the Qiao family robbed the people's daughter. He committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Originally, this matter would have been suppressed as before. It's a pity that Qiao Taishi was not in the capital at that time. There was no timely response. And that family actually fought for the lives of the whole family. Immediately run to the officer. Many of the people knew about it. Naturally, this matter cannot be good.
This matter was casually told to her in Dai Man's spare time. Now that it has been passed into the palace. It can be seen how big this incident was at that time. Follow the crowd. It's not the real truth, though. But it doesn't matter how the truth is. The important thing is whether the emperor believes it or not.
Su Jingxi didn't ask. Because she doesn't care. Even if it's true. Su Jingxi wouldn't want to see Qiao Jingshu's jokes. Her purpose was clear to Su Jingxi. It is precisely because it is clear. That's why she sympathized with this woman from the bottom of her heart. But it's just sympathy.
A smile on his face. "Yes. It's snowing today. The concubines were afraid to set out according to the old hours. You may miss the time due to snow. If it's rude, it's not beautiful. ”
As soon as the words fell. The surrounding concubines were more or less sarcastic. If it was her, Su Jingxi was afraid of being rude. Then no one is breaking the rules.
didn't wait for Concubine Shu to speak. Concubine Xiang first said angrily. "That's what Zhen Zhaoyi said. It's not good if it's rude. Fortunately, the concubine came early. ”
If Xiang Guifei just listens to this. I can't see anything wrong. But I realized it carefully. I will feel that something is abnormal.
Su Jingxi heard it. She was just sarcastic about what she was talking about. But it came later than Concubine Shu. It's not a faux pas. Or it's not rude to be no later than the emperor. It's not rude to be later than Concubine Shu.
Su Jingxi felt a little appreciative in her heart. This is a very good statement. It's just that she is no longer the original Su Jingxi. It's not her style to be slaughtered. It's impossible for anyone to do it.
"Sister Xiang is very right. It's just that this palace is not as idle as Sister Xiang's. I went rafting on a snowy day. This kind of feeling is something that such a rough person in this palace can't understand. It's snowing today, too. Presumably Sister Xiang also went to enjoy the snow. It started at noon. ”
Su Jingxi's words fell. Laughter rang out loud and low. A few days ago, the Hunan concubine heard that the emperor would go to Lianhu Lake to enjoy the snow. I want to make a splash through this means. It's a pity that in the end, it is destined to be fetched with a bamboo basket. And the journey from the Ganquan Palace of the Hunan noble concubine to the Taihe Palace. At most, it's only half an hour. Why do you need to leave at noon?
It's just while laughing at the Hunan concubines. All of them were impressed by Su Jingxi's aura. once again recognized Su Jingxi's changes. Even if you don't want to. But they can't help but admit it. None of them could be like her. Say it without any scruples. I didn't dare to offend the Hunan concubines.
Xiang Guifei's face was blue and white for a while. Vermilion lips squirmed. Finally spoke. "Sister Jane can't understand it. Why bother laughing at the concubines? ”
These words came out almost close to her full strength. She's a smart person. Naturally, the pros and cons can be distinguished. It's just that Fang Cai's brain is hot for a while. Wrong thing was said. But we can't repeat the mistakes of the past.
Even Su Jingxi's words didn't take her seriously at all. She couldn't argue with her without the same brains. This is no longer the case. The Emperor's Favor. The four princes are beside him. Su Jingxi and her are no longer in the same position now. Although Su Jingxi was inferior to her before. But so what.
I want to live. You have to keep your mouth shut. Xiang Guifei secretly admonished herself.
Su Jingxi heard the flattering meaning in her words. Swept around. Seeing that no one dares to put their eyes on their own body without scruples. The desired effect has been achieved. and no longer dwell on it.
"It's just a joke with Sister Xiang. Sister Xiang doesn't have to take it seriously. ”
Su Jingxi did not change her words. is still called Sister Xiang. It's funny in my heart. I really don't know that I also love this kind of bad taste.
Xiang Guifei only wants to be able to avoid punishment. Addressing is a trivial matter in comparison. Wen Yan nodded lightly. A grinning smile grinned. "The concubine didn't take it seriously."
Whether it was serious or not, only she knew in her own heart. Just all of you. Including herself. It's all about it. I don't dare to really care about it. Otherwise, who will suffer. It's clear to all.
It doesn't take a moment. The voice of the eunuch sounded in the hall. "The emperor has arrived."
"See the Emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live. Su Jingxi got up. Salute with everyone.
I kneel for an unknown number of times. has long changed from a little unwilling at the beginning to a submissive and self-satisfied now. Think about it, there is really servility in people's hearts.
It's just that if you kneel. He really could live forever. So how many times did she kneel and she was willing.
"Flat." Zong Zhengjin said two words coldly. Su Jingxi was behind him. But I heard from it that he was in a good mood.
Hooked the corners of his mouth. Get up and take your seat.
Lecture as usual. Su Jingxi listened. The face is serious and serious. But only she knew what was going on in her heart.
Zong Zhengjin finished speaking. When I turned around, I saw that her eyes were empty. There is no focus. At a glance, I knew that Fang Cai must not have put his mind on himself. Helpless. But there was no anger at all.
"I don't seem to have had any happy events in the palace this year. Let me exalt you to the throne through this day. It can be regarded as a celebration of the whole world. Zong Zhengjin said casually.
The concubines below all involuntarily turned their gazes to the top. This year. They are almost alone. I've always been like this for the rest of my life. There is no hope for promotion. Remain in your present position unto death. I never thought it would be able to shine.
"Since it's all said. Announce it before the feast. Zong Zhengjin glanced down. The gaze lingered on someone for two moments. Turned. "Su Shunxian."
Su Shun replied idly. Take out the holy decree from your bosom. Raise your voice and read. "Carried by Mukden. The emperor's edict said: New Year's Festival. I am delighted. It is hereby promoted. Jin Zhen Zhaoyi is the concubine. Hunan noble concubines for contouring. An Ronghua An Jieyu ......"
Su Jingxi knelt on the ground. I never thought that the first person would be her. Fang is still speculating. The speed of his own promotion is already a bit fast. Maybe she'll be left out this time. But she still didn't know him well enough.
Su Jingxi took advantage of the moment to get up. A quick smile flashed at him. Whether he saw it or not. It's always about expressing your joy.
From the time she entered the palace. It doesn't matter what he has given himself or what position he has given. Su Jingxi fully accepted it. Never say you don't like it or dislike it. Some are excited and grateful.
It's all grace. It's all his and her favor.
Zong Zhengjin has been silently observing her movements. I noticed her smile. also hooked the corners of his mouth. It's good if she's happy.
After so long, he had already learned some of her little habits. What she did was what she wanted. The most praised is "the emperor is the best". At first, I was a little disgusted. But I accept it from the bottom of my heart. If it makes her angry. She won't show it either. It's just that I can't let go of it at night when I'm in bed. Can't put it in. Then he needs to start coaxing.
chuckled. That's good.
Three thousand prosperous Zhu walls. still have to be white-headed and single-minded. The wind is treacherous, and it is like the sea. How to wake up from a deep dream.
What do you think?
