Chapter 40: Concubine Greetings
"You little girl, don't think nonsense", Rong Yunxi said, "After all, they live under the same roof, and it's much better to be considerate of each other than to get along like enemies, right?" ”
In early summer, he snickered and said nothing.
Suddenly remembered that this afternoon, King Jing said that he hated to see King Chen's smile, and Rong Yunxi at this time finally understood King Jing a little. It's really uncomfortable to be treated with such a smile and silence.
Rong Yunxi brought the boiled kudzu root soup and a small bowl of honey into the house, and when the kudzu root soup was cooler and warmer, he poured the small bowl of honey into it.
went to the bedside and called King Chen twice: "Your Highness, wake up first...... Your Highness ......"
"Hmm......" King Chen replied.
Rong Yunxi saw that his eyes struggled a few times, and finally they really opened, and his voice was quite clear, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Hearing him ask so soberly, Rong Yunxi was stunned, and for a moment wondered if he was wrong, maybe he didn't drink too much at all.
Seeing King Chen rubbing his forehead, Rong Yunxi said lightly: "I cooked sobering soup for His Highness in the small kitchen, and His Highness will drink some before going to sleep." ”
King Chen sat on the pillow and said strangely, "Small kitchen? When did there be a dedicated minion in the kitchen? You let early summer and autumn cook it, right? ”
"Ahh Rong Yunxi replied indiscriminately and handed him the bowl: "Your Highness, drink it quickly." ”
When Rong Yunxi approached, King Chen's nose moved, obviously smelling the smell.
Forthwith...... He smiled silently. With a smile in his eyes, he drank this bowl of decanting soup, but he was very obedient.
On her body, there was the smell of firewood. Most of this decanting soup is not made in early summer and autumn.
Her sobering soup really worked, and after drinking it, after a while, she felt much clearer.
When I woke up, I suddenly felt ...... Did you hug someone just now?
So he looked at her, as if to explore.
But the little woman just sat at the dresser with a calm face and did not look like she had just been offended. Could it be that he was mistaken?
"Hey...... Rong Yunxi? King Chen lay on the bed and called Rong Yunxi.
"Huh?" Rong Yunxi replied casually.
"I just ...... Didn't do anything to you, did it? King Chen asked.
"Nope." Rong Yunxi replied very happily.
But King Chen was a little unconvinced, knowing that there was nothing to be seen in her voice and expression, and that he had to see her most honest cheeks.
So he said, "Turn around, look here......"
King Chen pointed to a place at random.
Rong Yunxi turned around and looked calmly along his hand, it was just the bed curtain, nothing.
When King Chen saw her face, it was indeed still as white as snow...... In this heart, I suddenly felt a sense of loss.
When he realized this, he didn't deny it. This little woman is indeed a little interesting...... Moreover, in fact, it is also a different kind of fun to compete with her every day.
Unlike competing with others, this little woman's intelligence and strength are not as good as even ten men.
"Tomorrow the women of this king will come to you. Don't forget the game we've talked about, so take a closer look. King Chen said.
I don't believe this little woman can win!
He had already thought of a way to make her lose, and of course, it wasn't to trick her or anything, but just to tell the truth. He's going to win.
Early the next morning, Yunshang sent King Chen's court clothes over, and it seemed that King Chen was going to the court today.
After breakfast together, Rong Yunxi gave a salute at the door and sent King Chen.
In the early summer and Zhiqiu, the round table was removed, and in this generous hall, four chairs were placed on the left and right, and between the four chairs on the left and right, two small square tables with tea sets were placed on each side. There is no need to set up the main seat, originally on the north wall, there is a small table, two chairs on the left and right. And the floor in that place was a small cement staircase that was one place higher than the rest of the house.
But in the mansions of the big families, in the rooms of the lord and the wife, the main hall is designed like this. With the honor of the head of the family, the ceremony of the master mother.
As soon as these were placed, I heard Qiu shouting inward at the gate of the courtyard: "Miss, Bo Meiren asks to see." ”
"Come in." Rong Yun Xi Road.
Bo Meiren came early enough, and she asked Mama Jin to pass it on yesterday, saying that she would see them at two o'clock in the morning, and now just after the o'clock, Bo Meiren came.
"Why did the beauty come so early?" Rong Yunxi sat on the right side of the main seat, and said with a smile.
"The concubine is slow, and she is afraid that she will miss the time to ask her mother for peace, so she came out early." Thin beauty is humane.
Rong Yunxi saw that she was well-proportioned, dignified and generous, and her eyebrows and eyes were even more stable and appropriate, so she knew that she was a calm and thoughtful person. It is no wonder that the Queen Mother gave her to King Chen.
And she came here by herself today, and she didn't come with others, which shows her thoughtfulness.
"Sister, sit down, no need to be polite." Rong Yunxi said with a smile.
Bo Meiren said: "I haven't given tea to the princess yet, and the concubine doesn't dare to trespass." ”
In fact, Rong Yunxi asked her to sit, just to test her. If she really forgot about the tea ceremony and sat down, it would be confused. However, this thin beauty is not confused.
Seeing this in early summer, he took out the prepared small teacup and handed it to Bo Meiren on his knees.
Bo Meiren took it, took a few steps forward, knelt down respectfully in front of Rong Yunxi, raised the tea above her head, and said, "The concubine is humble, and she will give tea to the master's mother." ”
Rong Yunxi took it slightly, took a sip, and handed it to Chu Xia. He personally got up and helped Bo Meiren up, and said, "Beauty, please sit down." We've all gone through the rules that should be followed, and then let's talk freely, beauties, don't be restrained. ”
Bo Meiren thanked her, but did not continue to excuse herself, but sat on the first of the eight chairs, the first on the left.
Rong Yunxi saw it, but he didn't say anything. This was where she was supposed to sit.
"How many years has the beauty been in the house? What is the year of the year? Rong Yunxi sat on the main seat and asked gently.
"Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness opened a house at the age of sixteen to build a house, and the slave maid was in July of the following year, the Queen Mother gave His Royal Highness a good son, and now he has been in the house for three years. In the year of entering the palace, the slave was seventeen. "Thin beauty is humane.
Rong Yunxi could hear her tone very gently, and when she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were always drooping, and she didn't dare to go over half a point. She is wearing a dark dress of pine and cypress today, although she looks dignified and calm, but she can't help but look old-fashioned. Most of these colors are worn by women who have passed the age of twenty-five and have given birth.
Although her tone was calm and greedy, Rong Yunxi felt that the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she became. I always feel that I am too calm, that is, dull and rigid, and I am very scheming.
But this is just Rong Yunxi's thoughts, but he didn't show anything on his face. Rong Yunxi just lightly took a sip of tea, swallowed it all, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the beauty is the same age as His Royal Highness, and she entered the house earlier than the concubine, but she is the sister of the concubine." I didn't know my sister's age before, but I only talked about my position, but I talked about my younger sister. ”
Bo Meiren got up and said, "In front of the mother, how dare the concubine be big?" ”
"It's okay", Rong Yunxi said with a smile, "Sister doesn't need to be polite. If my sister is too restrained, the concubine is also uncomfortable, and our sisters can talk freely. ”
Bo Meiren answered "yes", got up and sat down, no longer too polite.
Rong Yunxi didn't mention Cining Palace to her, and she didn't mention it herself, but just gossiped a few words about the situation in her Yilan Courtyard. While he was talking, another woman came in at the gate of the courtyard, followed by a serving little maid. The little maid stopped at the gate of the courtyard and stood with the maid of the thin beauty.
The woman was wearing a lake blue dress, half a head shorter than the thin beauty, and her figure was slender. When I entered the house, I saw that she had a small melon seed face, with a slender nose, but her eyebrows and eyes were slightly thin, which lowered the overall appearance of this face, and it didn't look like a middle-to-upper posture. If not, with this small mouth and delicate face, it should be a superior posture.
The woman gave a salute and said in a soft voice: "Beauty Feng, please say hello to the mother." ”
She did a curtsy, not the big bow that Bo Mei did when she entered the door.
"Beauty doesn't need to be polite, sit down." Rong Yun Xi Road.
"The concubine hasn't given the lady tea yet, so she doesn't dare to sit in vain." Feng Mei is humane.
Rong Yunxi signaled to early summer, early summer brought a cup of tea to Feng Meiren, Feng Meiren took it, stepped forward, and then knelt down to Rong Yunxi, and said, "The concubine gives tea to the master's mother." ”
Rong Yunxi heard that she deliberately omitted the word "inferior", but took her tea with a smile and didn't say anything.
handed the teacup to Chu Xia and said, "Beauty, get up, don't be polite." ”
"Yes." Feng Meiren answered, and glanced at the first place on the left, so that the first person on the right side could sit down.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Meiren and a girl also arrived, the two came together, and when they entered the house, Liu Meiren smiled at Bo Meiren and said, "Why did my sister come so early?" Yesterday, I said that we would come together, and we just went to Yilan Courtyard to find my sister! ”
"Let my sister run for nothing, I was coaxed by the minions in the morning, and I forgot my sister's appointment." Bo Meiren smiled steadily.
Liu Meisheng had a small round face, with a fleshy face, a smile, and two round dimples on her cheeks, which was very pleasing. Although he is sixteen years old, he looks younger than sixteen, and in terms of size and appearance, it seems that he has not grown.
The girl who came with Liu Meiren was not joking when she entered the door. As soon as Bo Meiren's words fell, she quietly pulled Liu Meiren, and then knelt down and bowed to Rong Yunxi, and said, "Concubine Zhao, meet Niangniang." ”
was pulled by Miss Zhao, and Liu Meiren also knelt down busily and said, "Beauty Liu, meet the princess." ”
"Two sisters, please get up and sit down." Rong Yunxi said with a smile.
Without waiting for Liu Meiren to speak, Miss Zhao hurriedly said: "I didn't dare to get up without giving tea to my mother." ”
Rong Yunxi heard her words in a hurry, as if she was talking to Liu Meiren.
I couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and I saw that this Miss Zhao was quite beautiful......
