Chapter 41: Pre-trial peonies
Her skin was fair, her almond eyes were gentle and affectionate, her nose and lips were ordinary, but her fair and delicate skin and beautiful almond eyes, coupled with her well-proportioned goose egg face, were enough to make her superior.
In early summer, she handed tea to Liu Meiren and Miss Zhao, and Rong Yunxi found that Miss Zhao still took the lead and knelt down to her to offer tea in a proper manner. With both hands on the top of her head, "the concubine is humble and gives tea to the master's mother", and his words and deeds are not lost.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Meiren painted a gourd like that, and just like Miss Zhao, she gave Rong Yunxi tea.
Although this Zhao girl robbed Liu Meiren first, Rong Yunxi liked her character more and more. Rong Yunxi saw that in fact, she was not preemptive, but afraid that Liu Meiren would make a mistake and be making an example of Liu Meiren.
In this house, it is inevitable that the concubines will intrigue, but Miss Zhao treats Liu Meiren so sincerely, which shows her good character.
Zhao Meiren gently pulled Liu Meiren and went to the right to sit down. In this way, Liu Meiren naturally sat on the right side, while Zhao Meiren sat on Liu Meiren's side.
As soon as the two of them sat down, two women came from the gate of the courtyard, one after the other.
The one who enters the house with the front foot is the concubine Qi, and the one who enters the house with the back foot is the concubine Min. The two toasted tea in turn, and Qi took the lead and sat on the third place on the left. The Min clan was in the ranks, so he had to sit at the end of the left side under the Qi clan.
The faces of these two people are both middle-to-upper, and Miss Qi's figure is concave and graceful, with the beauty of a woman; Miss Min is frowning and frivolous, very sultry.
After the two of them sat down for a long time, they saw that the hour had arrived at two o'clock, and then they saw another woman come in at the door. The arrival of this woman attracted everyone present except Bo Meiren and Feng Meiren to look at her......
The woman wears a tender willow-colored dress and has a slender and tall figure. When I got closer, I saw that this face was white and white, and his facial features were well-proportioned. The slender neck is as proud as a swan, and the eyebrows and eyes are also cold and lonely. The whole body has one word - cold. Just standing in the house, it's as if you have the ability to freeze three feet.
If you just look at this face, it is just a superior posture, but coupled with this cold and lonely bearing, it makes this person feel captivated. The so-called ice and snow beauty can fall into the city, that's what it says.
The woman bowed slightly: "Beauty Liang, please say hello to the princess." ”
"No need to be polite, sit down." Rong Yun Xi Road.
Liang Meiren got up, didn't even respond to a "yes", and sat on the last seat on the right side below Zhao Meiren.
She sits in a straight position, with her hands together on her lap, in a very regular manner. But Rong Yunxi knew that this was not because she deliberately obeyed the rules and understood the rules, but because her original sitting posture was like this.
She sat at the very end of the right, looking at her ears and nose, as if nothing was relevant to her.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment, and no one spoke. But this Liang beauty didn't seem to notice it at all, and still sat expressionlessly.
"Liang Meiren", Rong Yunxi said gently, "Can you come and sit closer?" Let's sit next to the thin beauty. ”
Liang Meiren got up and walked to the side of Bo Meiren. Then he sat down without saying a word, and without any emotion arising from the shift. The face has always been so calm and quiet, light and lonely.
Zhiqiu, who was serving beside Rong Yunxi, whispered to Chu Xia beside him: "This Liang beauty's demeanor is very similar to the demeanor of our young lady at some times." ”
Chu Xia said in a very low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, although the young lady has a calm face, when did she become so lonely that there is no one in her eyes?" ”
Rong Yunxi glanced at the two of them, and there was no way to take these two little girls. At this time, the room was so quiet, no matter how low their voices were, they would be heard. I said it happily, did I think it was very hidden?
Chu Xia hurriedly lowered her head, straightened her face, and whispered to Rong Yunxi: "Miss, it's already two o'clock." ”
Rong Yunxi nodded lightly and said gently: "Let everyone come over, just to meet and get to know everyone." In the future, we will not move around much in this mansion. Where His Highness goes and where he doesn't go depends on His Highness's own preferences, but it has nothing to do with us. Like her sisters, Concubine Ben just wants to live her life in peace, and she just wants to follow the rules and not make any mistakes. ”
"After all, there are rules in the house, and if something goes wrong, there is no punishment, and it is not a proper ......"
"Oops...... The big guys are here......"
"Wow! Woo ......"
Before Rong Yunxi's end note fell, a delicate voice was heard at the gate of the courtyard. Along with the voice came a woman in a bright rose pink dress.
"This little dog in the mother's yard hasn't barked this morning, why did it bark at this time......" Miss Qi smiled.
Feng Meiren glanced at the door, but lightly accepted Miss Qi's words: "Xu is used to the people coming and going this morning, and I am scared of it coldly." ”
The woman's physique is coquettish, her face is delicate, and her already charming face is lined with this gorgeous rose pink, which is even more glamorous. Coupled with this smiling and expectant Shenfei's distinctive demeanor, it seems to be a little more outstanding than Liang Meiren, and it has become the most beautiful of the concubines in this palace.
"Concubine Lu, please ...... the princess and mother" Miss Lu gave a curtsy salute to Rong Yunxi and said coquettishly.
Rong Yunxi looked at her calmly, and her voice was also very calm, not seeing the slightest displeasure or the slightest harmony, but asked plainly: "How long has the girl been in the house?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, it's been half a year." Miss Lu said.
This Miss Lu is very happy to speak.
"Is Your Highness okay with you?" Rong Yunxi asked.
Miss Lu had already straightened up unconsciously, but lowered her head and replied: "Hui Niangniang, Your Highness is very good to the concubine." ”
"Do you often go to your yard?" Rong Yunxi's voice was still faint.
Miss Lu didn't hear anything, her eyes swept around the faces of the people present, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, before Niangniang got married, His Royal Highness came to the back house, and all that came was the courtyard of the concubine." ”
Miss Qi snorted lightly, and said manranly: "Our Highness loves freshness the most, you just came, how can Your Highness not go to your courtyard often?" In another six months, if there is a new sister coming, you will see...... What is there to brag about. Girls and beauties, who hasn't come here like you? ”
"Really?" Miss Lu smiled, "Why haven't I heard of it, when did Sister Qi ever spoil her?" ”
But Miss Qi's mind is no longer above talking to her. Instead, he suddenly knelt on the ground in a hurry and said to Rong Yunxi: "The concubine lost her words, and she still hopes that the mother is not strange." Niangniang Mingjian, the concubine has no intention of offending Niangniang! Ask for forgiveness...... Ask for forgiveness ......"
Rong Yunxi saw that she was very flustered, and knew that she was unintentional. Although this Qi girl is a little thoughtful, but in the situation just now, with her thoughts, she can't come up with the idea of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. What's more, she doesn't have to do this.
"Okay", Rong Yunxi smiled warmly, "Girl, don't be too nervous, this concubine is not that narrow-minded person." Girl, get up. ”
"Thank you, mother." Miss Qi answered, got up and sat back in her seat, where did she still have the intention of arguing with Miss Lu again?
Miss Lu sneered softly, obviously looking down on her.
didn't wait for Rong Yunxi's instructions, so he sat on the chair at the end by himself. There was only one position left, where could she sit if she didn't sit here? But even sitting on the chair at the very end, he looked proud, looked around the people present, and his eyes were full of disdain.
"Miss Lu", Rong Yunxi took a sip of tea, and Fang continued lightly, "Can this concubine let you sit down?" ”
Miss Lu was stunned for a moment, got up reluctantly, and said, "But there is only this chair left in this room, if the concubine doesn't sit here, where can she sit?" ”
Rong Yunxi knew that Miss Lu had deliberately misinterpreted her question, but she didn't dwell on this point, but said, "Miss Lu doesn't want to sit on this chair, so let's go to a more comfortable place, how about it?" ”
Miss Lu was not stupid enough, thinking that Rong Yunxi would give her a high seat, so her face had calmed down, but she could still calm down, and her mouth was still smiling: "I don't know where Niangniang wants to give a concubine to sit?" ”
Rong Yunxi said: "Miss Lu is late today, Xu is greedy for the spring outside." In this way, how about going to the yard to bask in the spring sun? ”
Miss Lu's face was a little unbearable, but her words were still sober, and she said innocently: "Niangniang, it's not too late for the concubine." Niangniang said that it was three o'clock in the morning, but the sisters came too early. ”
"My sister is so smart, and she doesn't look like she has bad ears", Miss Min smiled, "Niangniang is talking about the second quarter of the hour, why do we listen to the second quarter of the hour, and when we come to you, sister, it becomes the third quarter of the hour?" Hehe...... My sister will shirk it. ”
Miss Lu took the opportunity to say, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that I deliberately offended my mother! This crime is not arbitrary! It is rumored that Niangniang is the first talented woman in our Kyoto City, and her heart is like a mirror. Niang Niang Mingjian, how can you blame me because of your words or two? ”
Rong Yunxi smiled at the corner of her mouth, knowing that she looked very brainless, but in fact, she was also a little thoughtful.
"Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't know that it's two o'clock, when Mama Jin sent someone to inform her yesterday, the concubine was taking a nap, and I didn't hear what they said, it was all passed on to the concubine by the slaves below."
"Qiu Yan, come here!" Miss Lu said, and beckoned her maid.
The little girl entered the house and said tremblingly, "What do you command?" ”
"Smack!"
