Chapter Seventy-Seven: The First Time to Take Charge of the East Palace
He pointed to the slave and said, "You come and change my clothes." ”
"Mother." Xinmei looked at the slave, changing clothes has always been the work of subordinates, and the prince let his master come with a bit of humiliation.
However, Nu'er was not annoyed, with a faint smile on her face, Lianbu stepped forward to take the white jade leather belt in the maid's hand, and slowly walked to Dongli Yi.
"Changing clothes for His Royal Highness is a blessing for the concubines."
The slave smiled and tied a leather belt for him, put a wide-sleeved python robe on his body, and meticulously tied each knot for him. Finally, he picked up the ring and pinned it lightly to his leather belt.
Dong Li Yi grabbed her Rou Yi and led her to the dressing table and sat down. Dongli Yi had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, "The so-called come without being rude, Concubine Ai will change my clothes for me, and this palace will draw your eyebrows for you." ”
Saying that, Dongli Yi reached out to take Luo Dai, and Nu'er reached out and pressed the back of his hand, "Your Highness has a noble status, how can you draw eyebrows for a woman." I'm afraid of making people laugh when I spread it. ”
"You are the crown princess of this palace, and you are the golden and jade relationship appointed by your father. Why not draw eyebrows for your wife? ”
I have to say that this prince is really good at acting, the slave chuckled lightly, and hooked his finger at Dongli. He leaned down cooperatively, and the slave lowered his voice and said, "The concubine is afraid that His Highness's painting will be too ugly, so that the concubine will not be able to see people." ”
Dongli Yi paused, he put down the Luo Dai in his hand, lifted her chin with one hand, and a kiss suddenly fell to the corner of his lips.
"Your Highness!" The slave covered her mouth with a hint of shyness and resentment.
At this moment, Xinmei and the others were already blushing with shame, and said very insightfully, "Your Highness, Niangniang, the slaves and maids will retire first." ”
Without waiting for the slave to nod, Xinmei had already retreated with the maids.
After everyone left, the slave reprimanded, "How can Your Highness be so improper? ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to be a loving couple?" Dong Li Yi asked with a smile, smiling calmly.
"I ......" The slave was speechless for a while, but was speechless.
"Your Highness, the emperor summoned you and asked you to enter the palace immediately." There are people outside the door.
Dong Li Yi looked at the slave, "The internal affairs of the East Palace are left to you, and I will leave first." ”
"Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
After sending this big Buddha away, the slave breathed a sigh of relief and sat lazily on the Arhat couch.
"Mother, slave look at your hand." Nanshuang didn't know when to walk in, she picked up the slave's forearm and checked.
"How do you know I'm hurt?"
"Your Highness called someone to bring medicine." As she spoke, Nanshuang had already redressed her wounds. She added, "Niangniang should take care of herself, the East Palace is like another imperial city, and the affairs are still complicated. Childe asked the slave maid to pass the word, asking you to be careful, if you have the opportunity, drunk Xiaolou to talk. ”
Xinmei pushed the door and walked in, "Niangniang, Master Zhou, Master Du, and Master Qin came to visit." Master Du and Master Qin were the concubines and maids of the prince before the establishment of the East Palace, and they had no title because they did not have a princess in the past. I should have come to listen to the seal today. ”
Zhou is the cousin niece of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, and she married into the East Palace with her slave yesterday. The Queen Mother didn't give her a name, but just sent her in in a low-key manner, naturally to see the attitude of the crown princess. As for the Du family, who was originally a personal maid who served the prince in the past, she was a woman who was the prince, and her status was not high. Qin's father is just a five-rank local official, but he has an inextricable relationship with the Shen nobles in the palace.
The slave lightly lifted her lips and said, "Send them to the main hall to wait." The main palace then arrived. ”
In the main hall, the Zhou family, the Du family, and the Qin family all sat upright.
Tea cup after cup, half an hour later, the princess is still missing.
It wasn't until the maid serving tea that the maid serving the tea refilled the fifth cup of tea for the Zhou family, and the Zhou, whose face was getting more and more ugly, put the teacup in his hand heavily on the desk beside him, and snorted coldly, "The princess is so big, our sisters can't wait to see the mother here." ”
The maid lowered her head timidly and said weakly, "The master is angry, the crown princess is changing her clothes, and she will be there later." ”
Although he was sent by the Queen Mother, in the end, the East Palace was not as good as the Imperial Palace, and he also relied on the crown princess to give him a position.
"Why should my sister be angry for a maid. Yesterday was the wedding day of the crown princess, and today is inevitably tired, and it is reasonable to come late. There was a smile on the corner of Du's mouth, and there was no impatience on his face.
It's just that the Zhou family married in with the crown princess yesterday, and everyone knows that the prince and the princess spent candles in the cave yesterday and lingered all night. Du Shi picked this remark, which was invisibly ridiculing Zhou.
Zhou is not stupid, how could she not hear the meaning of Du Shi's words, she glanced at Du Shi hatefully, "Although Sister Du is a few years older than me, she can afford to be my sister." But in the back house, I don't care about age, I only look at position. I'm afraid of this sister, the concubine really can't stand it. ”
The smile on Du Shi's face did not diminish at all, she just said lightly, "It seems that the concubine has overstepped." ”
Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, which the slave saw clearly when he was in the general's mansion. She deliberately came late, just to see the temperament of several concubines.
In the dormitory, Xinmei Lianbu stepped forward and reminded in the slave's ear, "Niangniang, the masters outside are in a hurry." ”
Nu'er looked at the time and put on Xinmei's hand, "I heard that there are many beauties in the East Palace, let's also go and take a good look at His Royal Highness the Prince's taste." ”
As soon as he walked outside the door of the main hall, there was a grandmother guarding the door who shouted, "The princess has arrived!" ”
The three people in the hall hurriedly got up and saluted, "Concubine to Niangniang!" ”
A corner of Zhao Fan's skirt appeared in front of their eyes, and a voice as crisp as a jade bead falling to the ground came from above, "It's too late for this palace, let you sisters wait." Get up. ”
The three of them nodded yes and sat down on the Taishi's chair. When his eyes fell on the main seat directly above, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
The person sitting upright above has a face like a peach blossom, a skin like mutton fat, and lips like Danzhu. The jet-black and shiny hair is combed into a chic bun. She wore a cloud sideburn on her head, and the beads dangled slightly above her collarbone. Dressed in a bandeau embroidered with flowers on the other side, lined with a Zhao Fan horse-faced Luo skirt, and covered with a red cardigan.
Originally, she was a person lined with gold, and she was a person lined with gold. No matter how gorgeous the clothes and beads, they can't match her peerless face with her bowed head and smile. Sure enough, the daughters of the Lu family are all fairies, with Lu Yinhua Zhuyu in front and Wei Nuer in the back.
No wonder she would let Emperor Yuan An say that there is a phoenix, if she is not a queen with such a posture, she can only be the demon concubine of the country.
The Qin clan was the first to react, and she showed a smile at Wei Nu'er, "Niangniang has to manage the internal affairs of the East Palace and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Working day and night, I should have rested more, but today it was the concubine who disturbed the mother. Even if it takes a long time, it should be done. ”
Zhou glanced at Qin's slanted eyes, and said with a hidden needle, "I didn't see you talking, but when Niangniang came, your mouth was very sweet." ”
Anyone can say flattery, and the slave will naturally smile and pass. She looked at Zhou's impatient face, and said softly with a smile, "I didn't take care of my sister yesterday, and I don't know if the maids below have neglected my sister?" ”
The maid beside Zhou quietly pulled the sleeve of her master, and Zhou put away the impatience on her face and replied with a smile, "Lao Niangniang is worried, the concubine rested well in Yilanxuan yesterday. ”
The slave nodded, "That's good." She paused, putting away the smile on her face, "Let's get down to business." Sister Du and Sister Qin have been serving His Highness for a while. In the past, due to the fact that the East Palace was not established, the two younger sisters have never been named. Now that the East Palace has been established, it is natural that the two younger sisters will not be treated badly. ”
"In the East Palace, under the crown princess is Liangdi, under Liangdi is Baolin, and under Baolin is the widow. The palace and His Royal Highness have discussed yesterday that the Qin family is Baolin and the Du family is the widow. As for Sister Zhou. ”
Nu'er's gaze moved to Zhou's body, and she smiled, "Feng Liangdi." ”
The faces of the three of them were different, but they all knelt down in unison to thank them.
"The East Palace is no less than the Imperial Palace, how many pairs of eyes are staring, presumably the three sisters know it in their hearts. The palace does not want the matter of the back house to become a shackle that binds His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The three younger sisters are all beautiful flowers, and their minds should be used in the place where they should be used, and it is the right way out for the royal family. ”
"Listen to the teachings of the crown princess." The three of them are blessed.
"Okay, sisters don't have to be polite." Nu'er raised his hand and said in a deep voice.
Zhou has won the position of Liangdi, and he is overjoyed, and his anger and impatience have long since disappeared. She picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip, and said with a smile, "This tea is Biluochun." The tea here is as mellow as the tea that the concubine drank in Shoukang Palace. ”
"Oh, really?" Nu'er smiled and picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, she looked at Zhou approvingly, "Zhou Liangdi is worthy of being a person from Shoukang Palace, and this tea is indeed the best Biluochun rewarded by the Queen Mother." Liangdi is very insightful. ”
Nu'er suddenly ordered, "Xinmei, go and bring the jeweled jade bracelet sent by Concubine Xian to the palace." ”
When Xinmei came out with the jade bracelet, with just one look, Xinmei was sent to Zhou. Nu'er said with a smile, "This jewel-inlaid jade bracelet was given by Concubine Xian, and it was made of the best white jade, with a total of sixty-four large and small pearls inlaid on it. This palace felt that the luxurious aura of his sister's body was very compatible with this jade bracelet, so he gave it to you. ”
Flattered, the Zhou clan knelt down to thank him, and put on the jade bracelet in the scorching gaze of the Qin clan and the Du clan. Looking at Zhou's happy appearance, the slave couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Zhou's name is Zhou Zihua. is the niece of the Queen Mother's mother's family. In the future, the most threatening person to the slave in the East Palace is this powerful Zhou Zihua. The slave gave her the position of Liangdi, second only to the crown princess, and gave her a jade bracelet. One is to appease the Queen Mother, and the other is to make her the target of public criticism. Without her doing it, Du and Qin would not let her become bigger.
"Now that the place has been decided, the place to live must also be well distributed. Zhou Liangdi lived in Yilanxuan in the east, and Qin Baolin and Du Ruren lived in the Jingshen Pavilion and the Companion Moon Building in the west. ”
