The emperor stayed in Qingfang Hall for several days, and all the concubines were extremely red, thinking that they were favored by Concubine Yu, and they all remembered Concubine Yu in their hearts. Until today, at the winter banquet held by Concubine Shugui, An Qin followed Concubine Yu to pay the money.

Everyone looked sideways, and saw that she was wearing a silk Luo cloud brocade jacket, a gardenia tassel and a hundred butterfly pleated skirts, a smoke hibiscus bun on her head, and a pearl honey-colored crystal hairpin. The string of pearls has a distinct color, round and jade, and reflects a dazzling luster in the warm winter sun. I have seen her before, and I know that her dress is not as dull as before, and her cheeks are flushed and sweaty along the way, like dew on the hibiscus, which is not embarrassed, but makes her more and more delicate.

Although there are only a few high-ranking people in the palace, there are many nobles in this column. The winter banquet was originally a gathering set up by Concubine Shu to contact the feelings between concubines, and only those above the nobles were eligible to participate, so after Concubine Shu introduced herself to everyone, someone covered her nose and smiled: "But only one is always there, why are you here?" Could it be just passing by? ”

Concubine Shu was waiting for this sentence, and smiled faintly at this moment: "What do you mean that she is just a permanent presence, it is that she has been in the Pope's soul for the past few days!" This palace specially asked Concubine Yu to take her, but also thinking that the sisters had never seen her true face, but now she has a chance to take a good look! ”

An Qin saw Concubine Shu mention herself, at that moment, she only felt that she was stabbed by their eyes like knives, and in front of everyone's eyes, sweat oozed from her back, she smiled reluctantly, and bowed her head to them: "Concubine An's greetings to all the ladies and little masters, I wish you all the best." ”

No one shouted, so she could only keep a half-squatting posture, and An Qin knew that there was no way to avoid this situation.

"The emperor has been staying in Qingfang Hall for the past few days, and I woke up as Concubine Yu, and finally knew how to please the emperor, but I didn't expect to be hooked by this little fox spirit." Li Guiren took a sip of tea and smiled at Concubine Yu: "How can I even go past you when I am always there?" Didn't you do it voluntarily? ”

Concubine Yu looked at her, although Li Guiren's background was not better than her, but her appearance was delicate and delicate, and she was the best year. She also relied on her appearance to be one of the best and acted without scruples.

"An Changzai knows how to greet the palace, everything is fine, where to overpass?" Concubine Yu held the stove and smiled: "Where can we guess what the emperor thinks?" Whoever he pampered is a blessing for whom, not to mention that even the noble people can be pampered for many days, and An Chang is more than you in appearance, and the right is to share the emperor's worries. ”

"You!" Li Guiren was so angry that she blushed, and the other concubines laughed lowly, Li Guiren's face turned from red to blue, and she sneered: "Concubine Yu is so sharp-mouthed, but it is completely different from before. ”

The smile on the corner of Concubine Yu's mouth faded, and she glanced at her coldly: "This palace has always been kind, but I don't want others to be just bullied." The emperor likes it, this palace only thinks that you have a sacred heart, and you have lost your sense of proportion for a while, but you can understand it. Li Guiren might as well think about it, his favor has passed, if he easily provokes this palace, what kind of consequences will he get! ”

Li Guiren's face turned pale, and her hand holding the tea bowl was unstable, and she fell on the table with a crisp collision sound. The tea flowed all over the ground, wetting the clothes of the concubines next to them, causing them to sigh irritably.

But she couldn't care so much, Li Guiren only felt that her palms were sweating, who was Concubine Yu? If she were to be more serious, she wouldn't be able to lose a few heads! Li Guiren began to be annoyed by his impulsiveness, but he was also reluctant to open his mouth and bow his head in front of everyone.

The people next to him who originally wanted to ridicule Concubine Yu for a few words, or test Concubine Yu's attitude towards An Changzai, were silent when they saw this situation, and some people seemed to see the future: living in Qingfang Palace, Concubine Yu is much better than other concubines, although she is not helping at present, it is not difficult for her to be lucky. In the long run, if Concubine Yu threw an olive branch to her, this An Chang would eventually be Concubine Yu's person.

Seeing that the noble lady lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, but the concubine opened her mouth and smiled to relieve the siege, and finally fell on An Qin, and said: "Since you came here unusually, presumably the palace rules are not very proficient, so let's do it, you salute everyone at this banquet table one by one, and you will be treated as if you have passed this level." ”

This voice made the concubines present come to their senses, and they all thought: Concubine Yu didn't help either, didn't she? This An Changzai has no backer, does it matter to them in the future? This is Shu Guifei taking the lead!

And Anqin has to be.

She first saluted to Concubine Shu, and in order to show her generosity, Concubine Shu directly stretched out her hand and waved her to take it, so An Qin saluted one after another in order.

No one in the concubine position has ever embarrassed her, but it is different when it comes to the concubine position. What hand is lowered a few points, the posture is wrong, and all kinds of reasons come when you open your mouth, it seems that you know a little more than those teaching grandmothers.

"What kind of gift is this, it's really something from the Qinglou." A concubine sneered: "Cuiye, you come to demonstrate this An Changzai!" ”

An Qin lowered her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, and saw the handmaid come and salute her, and raised her eyebrows: "An Chang is here, but it's optimistic." ”

She only felt that the people around her were judging her, and her toes couldn't help curling up, like a man's back, and sweat overflowed all over her body. Anqin wanted to escape from here, but her legs were pinned to the spot, and she could only watch Cuiye demonstrate.

When she got up, she saluted again according to the gourd drawing, and got the concubine who still sneered: "The maidservants in the palace in this palace are more than safe and regular when they come out alone, and they are not as good as a maidservant, ridiculous!" It's just a man's thing, go down! ”

With the laughter of the concubines in her ears, An Qin only felt that she was out of place with them, staying here like an animal to be watched, allowing them to beat and insult them wantonly.

She took a few breaths secretly, but did not refute silently, and continued with a smile on her face.

Li Guiren couldn't please Concubine Yu, so he naturally wanted to find his majesty on An Qin. When An Qin stood in front of the Li nobles to ask for peace, the Li nobles' hands slipped, and the hot tea was poured on An Qin's hands.

"Ouch, this is a good dragon well before the rain!" Li Guiren said regretfully: "This tea was specially prepared by the concubine for today's banquet, and it was just thrown away, but it was spilled on the hands of such an unfortunate thing." ”

An Qin subconsciously withdrew her hand, her hand was delicate, and now it had been scalded, and a light touch seemed to be roasting on the fire. She was so pained that tears appeared in her eyes, and Fang Cai's grievances also came to her heart now, An Qin gritted her teeth and refused to fall.

Li Guiren was very proud, enjoying the food on the table, and then with a finger of the jade hand, Anqin was "pumped" around like a spinning top. When Anqin was finally let go, the winter banquet was dispersed.

Her legs were weak and she couldn't lift them, as if she were stepping on a swamp, and she felt like she was sinking a little bit. An Qin relied on the body of the moon butterfly to barely support, and she was already hungry in her belly, and she had to wait for the last one in the order to leave, only to feel that this time was extremely long.

An Qin thought bitterly that this Hongmen banquet was still beneficial, which made her remember most of the concubines.

She lowered her eyebrows and landed at the end, staring at the person in front of her in the emerald green floating shirt. The person was dressed in a dark green bamboo-patterned robe, and a jade-colored floor-length skirt, which was made of warm silk specially provided by the Shangyi Bureau, making the clothes thin but not afraid of the cold, and outlining her exquisite figure, which was the concubine Cui Mianyue.

Cui Mianyue's grandfather was a general who protected the country, and he had half of the credit for the prosperity of the year, and the first emperor gave him the title of protector. Therefore, even if Cui Mianyue's father is now just the second rank of the Zuo Governor Imperial History, because of the hereditary title of the Duke of Protector, people dare not act rashly.

An Qin heard that Concubine Xian was jealous, but she didn't know about it, and she didn't know what her temperament was. It's just that when she and Concubine De held hands affectionately and said something witty, it was lively and cute.

As for Concubine De...... When An Qin looked at her, Concubine De seemed to feel a little, and when she turned around, her purple gold cloud incense shoulders outlined the arc of waves in the air as she turned around. Only then did An Qin find that she was wearing an apricot yellow shirt inside, and she was still holding a hand stove wrapped in fox skin in her hand, looking graceful and luxurious. Although Concubine De's appearance is ordinary, she has a majesty that cannot be ignored, which makes people dare not force her to look at her.

The moment she met her gaze, An Qin seemed to see the sporadic smile in Concubine De's eyes. The bottom of her eyes was like a deep pool, brewing a storm that others couldn't understand, but at that moment, an idea suddenly flashed in An Qin's heart: Concubine De and she are the same person.

"What is my sister looking at?" Concubine Xian looked at her suspiciously, and saw the scene of An Qin staggering and walking, which was quite funny, and couldn't help but smile: "Everyone says that this An Chang is deep in thought, but I think he is an interesting person." ”

"As long as it doesn't get in our way, it doesn't matter if she has a deep mind or not." Concubine De silently retracted her gaze, thinking of the scene when Cui Mianyue was about to get up to speak for her, and said: "Don't come out rashly in the future, this An is often stared at by so many pairs of eyes, if you don't let them vent their anger now, I'm afraid that they will spread their resentment on you later." ”

"If my sister hadn't stopped me, I would have said a few words." Concubine Xian waved her hand indifferently: "Who dares to be angry with me?" I'm tired of it! ”

Seeing that she didn't listen, Concubine De smiled helplessly, reached out and touched her head, and didn't say a word.

——

The main hall of Qingfang Hall is the residence of Concubine Yu, because she loves willows, the main entrance is facing a huge willow tree. It's just that the branches are bent by the falling snow right now, and they won't look green and vibrant until they sway with the wind when they pull out the long leaves in spring.

If An Qin wants to go back, he needs to pass through the corner gate of the main hall, and then walk more than 100 steps before he can return to the side hall where he lives.

Once Concubine Yu waited for the rabbit in the courtyard, she naturally had no way to avoid it...... Just like the scene in front of you.

Concubine Yu wore a moon-white hydrangea robe, and the robe was vertical to the ankles, covering the inside tightly. After she saw An Qin, she beckoned to her, and the blue bead and golden hairpin on her head shook with her movements, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

An Qin stopped Yuedie's footsteps, walked forward alone, and greeted Concubine Yu in a proper manner, with a little worry in her tone: "Niang Niang Wanfu, it's freezing here, if there is something to spread that I will go to the main hall, why stop here." ”

"Is your wind chill all right?"

Suddenly, hearing Concubine Yu ask like this, An Qin was stunned, she couldn't tell what she was thinking, and her smile became brighter: "Naturally, it's all good, thanks to Niangniang's medicinal materials, so that I can attend the winter banquet on time." If the wind and cold are not good, I don't know if you can learn what the ladies taught me at the banquet! ”

Why, she didn't say a word at the winter banquet, and now she is stopping her from being a good person?

Anqin is not without resentment, but she is good at forbearance, and she is used to bullying and making things difficult, so she knows more clearly that this is just the beginning.

But the difficulties of concubines and slaves are different, the pain on the body can still be endured, but how to heal the wound in the heart?

"The winter banquet was named by Concubine Shu to ask you to go, and now you are constantly gracious, and you will have jealousy against you, which is the case in the harem, you have to adapt slowly...... By the way, Delu's affairs are already known to the palace. Concubine Yu comforted her and said, "After all, it was the people around the palace who made a mistake, so I wanted to wait for you here, Yan'er." ”

The maidservant girl behind her stepped forward when she heard this, and handed over a white and cyan fox fur she was holding in her hand, An Qin saw that Yan'er's face was as black as black charcoal, and she didn't know what it meant for a while: "Niangniang, this is?" ”

"Although the color of this fox fur is a little flawed, it is warm enough, and if you accept it, it will be regarded as an apology from the palace."

Hearing Concubine Yu say sincerely, An Qin couldn't tell whether she was hypocritical or sincere for a while, just like the sentence she had just said worriedly. But in Concubine Yu's left sentence "Delu has now been punished by the Shen Penal Division, concealing the bullying from his superiors and subordinates, he will definitely get the punishment he deserves", and the right sentence "Your Majesty also knows about this matter, you don't have to worry about it", and when she reacted again, she had already accepted the fox fur that was not unprecious to her.

An Qin had to thank Concubine Yu, and then watched her leave, and waited until Yuedie stepped forward to hold the fox fur for her in a few steps, she squinted her eyes and said for a long time: "Let's go." ”

It's only been a few days since they were favored, and they are so dissatisfied, and if they continue like this, will they tear themselves apart alive? An Qin walked through the corner gate, thinking to himself: It seems that he has to find a backer for himself.
