Chapter Twenty-Four: Girls
There are a lot of things in this world, but after only saying eight words, he was praised as a good boy, and Fan Xian, who was almost seventeen years old, felt that this thing was a bit to the extreme. This palace is really very different from other places, and the judgment of the nobles on top always seems to be too arbitrary and dependent on their own preferences.
Although Fan Xian has never known the relationship between the Liu family and this Yigui concubine, it does not prevent him from knowing from Wan'er's mouth that this Yigui concubine is a very favored Jizi at the moment, otherwise it is impossible to give birth to an eight-year-old prince under the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor's self-cultivation and not close to women.
chatting in the palace, this Yi Gui Concubine seemed to really like Fan Xian, the expression on her face became more and more happy, Fan Xian was knowledgeable and interesting, and picked up a few jokes from his previous life to listen to, and a burst of laughter like silver bells suddenly sounded in the hall. Fan Xian found that this noble concubine's temperament was very hearty, and he didn't know how she could still maintain such a temperament in this unsightly palace, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised and appreciative.
After a little gossip, the sun was already rising. Liu smiled and asked, "What about the third prince?" Concubine Yi sighed and said: "That child, I am still afraid of being badly born, so I shrank in the apse after getting up, and refused to come, I am afraid that it will be until it is time to eat, and I will show my little face." Liu smiled and said, "Dare to love our third prince is quite shy." ”
Although the main ministers are different, the Liu family and Yi Guifei are sisters after all, so they don't pay so much attention to what they say. Concubine Yi Gui stretched out her slender index finger, her nails were painted with red color, she looked very attractive, she pointed at Fan Xian and said, "Isn't this one in your family also a shy." ”
At this moment, Fan Xian's face showed a slightly shy smile, which happened to respond to the concubine's words.
"Okay, sister, you and Ruoruo are here to talk to me. Concubine Yi seemed to know that the Liu family was unwilling to go to the eldest princess of the queen, so she was the master of the guests. "In those palaces, I asked Xing'er to lead Fan Xian to go. ”
Liu's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he saluted: "How can this be made." Today, when I entered the palace, I was the first to come to see the noble concubines, and I was worried that I would make those ladies unhappy. When I entered the palace, I didn't go to visit those people, but I was afraid that I would be a little disrespectful. When Concubine Yi heard this, she snorted twice and said, "Sister, I think it's better for you not to go, it was just to pass Fan Xian into the palace, you just accompany me to talk, I think there is anyone in this palace who dares to say irresponsible things." ”
Concubine Yi is a cheerful lady with a hint of naivety. But this tantrum still looked majestic, and the whole palace was quiet. Fan Xian coughed lightly and said, "Auntie...... Second wife, I'll just go by myself. You and your sister can talk to Aunt Liu for a while. ”
Seeing him say this, the Liu family reluctantly agreed, and sent Fan Xian to the outside of the palace with the palace maid named Xing'er, whispered some precautions, and turned to Fan Xian's shoulder imperceptibly, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "The palace has been dotted up and down, and there are people in each palace, don't be too nervous." ”
Fan Xian's heart sank. Answered, turned around and saw my sister follow out. Look at yourself with a positive look of encouragement. For no reason, her heart was warm, and she thought with a smile: "The mother-in-law has always looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the happier she is, not to mention that she has such a beautiful and stinky skin, and she is not able to deal with a few resentful women in the palace?"
When the horse candidate left the palace where Concubine Yi lived, Liu Shi said a few words to Fan Ruoruo, and then entered the inner room with Concubine Yigui. Concubine Yi looked at her eyes faintly and said: "I persuaded you four years ago, don't listen to the persuasion of those two palaces, this is good, Fan Xian is still alive and well, but you are cold to Lord Fan's heart." Sister, you are a smart life, why did you make a mistake at that time?" Liu Shi was stunned, speechless for a long time, his eyes gradually became resentful, and said softly: "Niangniang also knows that those of us who are mothers are not just thinking about their own children? The third prince is young now, you can still stay out of the matter, and in a few years, I am afraid that you will understand why I made such a big mistake at that time." ”
――――――
Xing'er is a little girl with clear eyebrows and eyes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, Fan Xian walked with her all the way in the palace, and found that the little girl's head had been lowered, and couldn't help but quip: "The road under your feet can't be seen clearly?" Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that the rules in the palace were big, but he didn't expect that even the little girl's family would be so cautious and self-controlled.
Fan Xian followed behind Xing'er, looking at the palace maid's dress on her body, his eyes swept over the little girl's immature waist, and immediately transferred to the palace building, with a smile on his face, but his brain was running rapidly, trying to keep these complicated road scenery in mind and prepare for the future event.
All the way through the flowers, trees, stepping on stones and grass, although the palace is large, there is always a time, although there are many palaces, but not every one has to be grand to sensational. Looking at the quiet courtyard in front of him, Fan Xian: took a deep breath and walked in with the palace maid waking up. This is the residence of the second prince's biological mother, Shu Guifei, this concubine seems to be a quiet person, the courtyard is also dressed up very elegantly, except for a few pink and pink trees, there is no other decoration, a bamboo curtain, covering everything inside, but can not hide the fragrance of the book curtain out.
"Meet the concubine. ”
"Fan Gongzi, please take a seat. ”
There was no extra cold noise, Fan Xian and this Shuguifei sat across the curtain, there was no warning, Shuguifei suddenly asked in a clear voice: "Wanli is often a guest in the sad autumn, and Fan Gongzi is often in Zhanzhou when he is young, do you think that Kyoto is just a place to live?"
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, and replied with a straight face, taking this as the starting point, he sat down with the concubine and discussed, saying that the world's scriptures and books were collected with poems and songs, until the mouths of both of them were a little dry, and they were very tacitly silent. Fan Xian was a little afraid, he really didn't expect that the mother of the second prince was a talented girl in the palace, and her knowledge was extremely powerful, and she almost couldn't cope with it. He couldn't help but think, what kind of person would be the prince raised by such a woman?
"Don't be nervous. "Concubine Shugui's temperament is extremely gentle, and through the bamboo curtain, she can vaguely see that there is only a wooden fork on her head, which is so pure that it is incompatible with this palace, "Wan'er grew up in the palace since she was a child, and before His Majesty accepted her as a righteous daughter, we women who had nothing to do raised her as a daughter." There is no one up and down the palace who doesn't like her, so if Fan Gongzi wants to marry the most precious pearl in the palace, we can't help but have to take a look. ”
There was a cold sweat behind Fan Xian, although he usually knew something, but today he really felt his unmarried Jiang's status in the palace. Concubine Shu is gentle and light, and she seems to be more satisfied with Fan Xian's conversation, and after a while, she let Fan Xian retreat, but before parting, she said softly: "This palace likes to read, and Your Majesty has also collected some rare books for me, and I have asked the palace people to pick up a few copies of the precious ones, Fan Gongzi is going to other mothers at this time, and I will let people send them to Yigui Concubine." ”
Fan Xian's heart sank, knowing that this was a generous gift, knowing that this noble girl was giving a gift for the second prince, so he didn't dare to say much, so he bowed calmly and deeply.
Out of Concubine Shugui's courtyard, Fan Xian wiped the sweat on his forehead, but the palace maid Xing'er who led the way in front was a little familiar with him, walking on tiptoe, jumping up and down, looking back at his expression, and asked curiously: "It's not hot today." ”
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, I thought it was just a courtesy visit when I entered the palace today, but I knew that it was even more nervous than the palace test, and I wanted to come to the palace These ladies were very curious about Lin Wan'er marrying her, so I wanted to see Fan Xian's literary and martial arts. Next, the two went to Ning Cairen, the biological mother of the eldest prince, Fan Xian knew that although this woman was not in a high position, she was only a talented person, but she knew from Wan'er that it was because of her identity as a Dongyi person, so Fan Xian deliberately made a little more respectful.
Ning Cairen is nearly forty years old, but he is still charming, and the style between his eyebrows and eyes is indeed very gentle with Dongyi women. Over the years, the eldest prince has been on the edge of the Xiban, and there is no one under her knees, so she can't help but be a little lonely, but fortunately, Lin Wan'er often comes here to play when she is in the palace, so her feelings for Wan'er are different from other mothers. I saw her looking at Fan Xian coldly, and her phoenix eyes were cold and said, "You are Fan Xian!"
Fan Xian knew that this noble man had saved His Majesty the Emperor on the battlefield back then, and raised a prince who could fight well, and he must have been a dignified person, but he was not shocked, and responded calmly: "It is the minister." ”
"Hmm. Ning Cairen glanced at him a few times, and to Fan Xian's surprise, he didn't say anything, just said coldly: "Treat Wan'er well." ”
Fan Xian liked this neat feeling, and responded with great joy: "Please rest assured." ”
"There must be something strange about the cow blocking the street, I don't believe you can kill an eight-rank master. Ning Cairen looked at his figure and snorted coldly, "Looking at your thin appearance, you are not a person who can fight well." Fan Xian was stunned, thinking that after finishing the examination of the way of literature, this is about to test the way of martial arts? It's just that Niangniang, your forty-year-old noblewoman, the main ministers are different, and the men and women are different, so you won't be able to beat yourself with your own fist, right?
"But since Ye Ling'er admits that she is not your opponent, it will be enough, okay, that's it for today, you go to another palace, don't delay too much. After saying this, Ning Cairen didn't say anything more, and directly drove him out of the palace.
Fan Xian modeled the back of his head, looked at the closed wooden door, and thought to himself that His Majesty the Emperor was really a blessed person, the woman lying next to him was so "colorful", there was a delicate and bright type like Yi Guifei, an intellectual lady like Shu Guifei, and a barbaric girlfriend like Ning Cairen? However, I knew before that Concubine Shugui's talent was really powerful, and this Ning Cairen was only afraid that she was also a character who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, plus the unfathomable queen, His Majesty was able to put these women in a big room, and after so many years, I have to say that His Majesty, the emperor of Qingguo, is really powerful.
At least Fan Xian doesn't have this kind of ability.
