Chapter Twenty-Three: The Queen and the Concubine
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat......"
Ji Chaoyang secretly smashed his mouth, thinking that he would not be discovered, but in fact, everyone present could clearly hear the sound of her saliva swallowing.
With Huang Fulin here, Qin Yun didn't pay much attention to Ji Chaoyang in order to stabilize the future, so he only let Ji Chaoyang stand and continue to suffer.
"How long will they have to eat, I really want to eat ......"
She heard Ji Chaoyang behind her whispering.
"I'm full."
Qin Yun put down her chopsticks, "Go out for a walk?" ”
She only took a few bites of a full table of twelve dishes.
Huang Fulin also took the chopsticks and said, "In this case, the imperial sister-in-law will go to the back garden with this king to spread and consume food." ”
He was the first to get up and strode out of the doorway, followed by his servants.
"Yangyang, you stay here to eat and rest and wait for me to come back."
Qin Yun dropped his explanation and followed them out.
"Boss Qin, then you have to be careful."
I thought that I was going to serve my master like a maid to travel, but I didn't expect Qin Yun to arrange it like this, and Ji Chaoyang cast a grateful gaze.
"Hmm."
No longer lingering, Qin Yun had already walked out of the door after speaking.
Outside the door, Huang Fu Lin and his servants stood not far away, waiting for her to follow.
The imperial garden of the palace is just a thousand purples and thousands of flowers.
A group of palace concubines and nobles led by the empress and other harem emperor women happened to be enjoying flowers and eating snacks in the imperial garden.
In her early thirties, Queen Fengyi Sun Zhilan's face was a little dark, and the concubine who was airborne the day before yesterday, Concubine Dai, had not seen anyone since she entered the palace early yesterday morning.
According to the rules, after she became the queen of the country, she controlled the six courtyards of the harem.
The women who entered the palace to serve the emperor had to walk around her and serve tea and salute.
But since she received the woman into the palace, she waited and waited in the palace, and she couldn't wait for the person to show his face.
The chief eunuch sent to the temptation replied, saying that the woman dared to be pampered and arrogant because of her mediocre appearance.
Dare to disobey the will of the queen, the head of her harem!
"So pampered and arrogant, is there still me as a queen under my eyes!"
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Sun Zhilan waved her hand and smashed the glazed jade carved teacup in front of her to the ground.
The atmosphere of the octagonal pavilion, which was originally still full of birds and flowers, instantly froze, and the beauties of the harem looked at each other, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.
Knowing what the queen was angry about, he was afraid that he would become the pond fish that was affected by the scourge.
"It's been two days since I entered the palace, and the emperor didn't go there after going to court, and he never mentioned summoning the servants to sleep......"
The so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable......
Sun Zhilan couldn't figure out what kind of badge the emperor was out of, and she didn't rashly send someone to "invite" the woman, but she also had a layer of concern for him.
The queen's words were deliberately spoken to others, and the purpose was naturally to hint at those who were active.
Don't want to tie the knot under her nose, the woman who has just entered the palace and sat on the throne in one fell swoop.
is reminding them that the emperor has little favor for that woman, don't rush out stupidly to take advantage of others, step up.
"The prince has arrived."
In the midst of everyone's boos, the eunuch summoned outside the pavilion pinched his sharp voice to announce the arrival of the only prince in the country, the younger brother of Emperor Fu Qin Xun.
"Clean up, don't let the prince see it."
Sun Zhilan instructed the grandmother behind her to do things, and the moment she stepped into the pavilion in front of Huang Fulin, there was no shadow of the tea cup porcelain piece that had just broken flowers on the ground.
"Imperial sister-in-law, I am also here to enjoy the flowers today."
Behind the prince was a cold-faced woman, who looked no outstanding, and she looked away with just one look.
"Come on, serve tea to the prince."
The servant brought only a cup of tea, and the table prepared was only a chair.
"This queen is very hostile."
As soon as Huang Fulin arrived, the queen asked people to prepare tea and sit at the table, ignoring her in general, regardless of it.
Qin Yun was disdainful in her heart.
She didn't come to compete with these harem women for favor, let alone rush in by herself.
Ignoring her deliberately, she also pretended to be an ignorant person and stood still like a pestle of wood.
The wind outside is good, so she doesn't want to go in and stand out from the crowd and become the target of everyone.
"When did the imperial uncle arrive in the harem, the palace didn't listen to the subordinates......"
That woman dared to pin her face to other places and didn't take the initiative to come forward and ask for guilt!
"Very good" Sun Zhilan's jawline tightened a little.
The prince was a sibling of the emperor's compatriots, and he didn't say hello to her, he ran to see the woman himself, and took her to the imperial garden of the harem.
What kind of mind is it making, does that woman still have any means of seducing people?
The emperor is like this, and even Huang Fulin is like this.
"What kind of flattering tricks does this woman have to make the two noble men of the country treat them like this......"
Sun Zhilan saw that Huang Fulin didn't say anything, and let herself hang the woman outside, and suddenly had an idea in her heart.
"Where did the good imperial garden come from, the guy who is not on the stage, disturbs the interest of the prince and the palace to enjoy the flowers, and someone is coming...... Drag people away for me......"
Slut, when you get to my territory in the harem, there are means to make you cry.
Don't dare to put me in the bottom of your eyes, hum!
The eunuch who was standing outside the pavilion waiting for the queen to summon him at any time, under the guidance of the queen's nurse Rong Mama, rushed to Qin Yun and hugged him.
"Drag her out for me!"
The corners of Rong Mama's eyes are the same as the evil smile in the heart of her queen's master, as soon as the queen's dismount comes out, this woman will have no status in the deep palace in the future.
The queen and the concubines who are not valued by the emperor, which is more important, and a clear-eyed person can separate the team at a glance.
Scold......
Dare to make a score with the queen, and today I will tell her to know the power of this harem to eat people without spitting out bones.
Mama Rong's left and right eyes were twisted into two of different sizes, and those who were familiar with her methods knew at a glance that the woman who offended the queen in front of her was going to be unlucky.
This femme fatale has a poisonous snake heart and is full of torture methods.
In the harem, I don't know how many delicate lives as fresh as flowers are folded in her hands.
Mama Rong, who represents the queen behind her, is majestic in the harem, so that people dare not be easily negligent, and those eunuchs who were summoned secretly riveted their strength, and they can't leave any fear when they attack the concubine.
was seen by Mama Rong, and she was sure that she would settle accounts after the fall as soon as she was empty-handed.
The eunuchs rushed towards her menacingly, and Qin Yun moved under his feet, taking a few steps back before they approached, and opened up some distance.
The hands and feet that had been grabbed at her were empty.
"Bold! dared to resist the decree and refused. ”
Mama Rong scolded, "Take her down for me." ”
"Noisy old woman."
The woman who made a group of onlookers break her chin had the audacity to speak out to the queen's nurse.
The beauties of the harem sitting in the pavilion suddenly became wonderful on their faces.
"Are you deaf, are you still sitting in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take her down for me."
Since beating Sun Zhilan to the top of the harem, Mama Rong's worth has risen continuously.
Walking in the harem, except for the emperor and the concubine who didn't know what to do, who saw her didn't respectfully call her "Mama Rong." ”
I didn't expect that she would be scolded by an unknown woman who came out of nowhere today.
Mama Rong's brain was buzzing, and she almost couldn't go down in one breath.
Which dog-legged eunuchs are still deaf, and they didn't hear her yelling and arresting people.
was so angry that the green tendons on Mama's forehead jumped suddenly.
Scold......
The old woman's face turned red, and the appearance of being angry and smoking, even if she had a cerebral hemorrhage in the next second, it would not make her feel strange.
Qin Yun sneered, and stepped back a little like a cat teasing a mouse, and told the eunuchs who wanted to catch her to pounce again.
The eunuchs who wanted to show themselves fell to the ground one by one, stacked on top of each other like Arhats.
The embarrassed screamer wants to laugh.
"Yo...... Which ...... is playing in the back garden today?"
The eunuchs who fell to the ground were trying to stand up and continue to catch Qin Yun, but at this time, a woman with a gorgeous face wearing a luxurious satin hair bun and a hairpin full of precious hairpins came over.
"I've seen the concubine."
Without waiting for the man to walk in, Mama Rong, who was extremely arrogant just now, had an extremely ugly face, and reluctantly bent down to salute the woman in her heart.
"Hmph."
Mama Rong's reluctant salute was ignored by the concubine, and she snorted disdainfully over her nose.
"Yo, isn't this the prince, I'll just say how to look at the imperial garden today is different from the past, and the feeling is that the prince is here."
The concubine walked in swaggeringly, and with a look, those who were still in the octagonal pavilion except for the queen and the prince saluted her one after another.
"I've seen the concubine ...... Niangniang"
Even those who are both concubines, Concubine Shu and Concubine De also secretly crushed their silver teeth and knelt down together.
"Get up."
The corners of the concubine's delicate face and mouth hooked disdainfully, and she casually asked them to get up at the lowered heads.
"My sister is also here, Mei'er has seen my sister......"
Shangguan Meishu's pretended surprised expression and the completely disrespectful and perfunctory salute made Sun Zhilan's heart angry.
"Mei Shu, you slut...... When your brother who became the prime minister falls, I'm waiting to see how arrogant your face will be! ”
Empress Sun Zhilan and the noble concubine Shangguan Meishu have been at odds with each other for a long time, and I don't know how much of the undercurrent between the two in the harem has happened.
It can be said that Shangguan Meishu is the only one in the entire harem who dares to face the queen steel head-on, and it is naturally the prime minister's brother who is the head of the hundred officials behind him.
From this point of view, the power of the queen's maternal family is not as good as that of the concubine, and the mother's family behind her is only the first old Wenchen of the Three Dynasties, which is much inferior to the prime minister.
"Sisters outside, why don't you come in and do it."
said that it was a salute to the queen, Shangguan Meishu didn't even move the handkerchief, and after speaking, the person sat in the seat where Concubine Yuan De, who automatically gave way.
She picked up the brand-new teacup that her servant had just replaced, lifted the lid and took a half-sip before putting it back.
"It's already the end of summer, why is my sister still drinking the hairy tips of the tribute at the beginning of the year, tsk......"
"Go, and bring in the people who are outside...... I haven't taken a good look at the new sisters. ”
The four henchmen who were married by the concubine, Chunliu.
Listening to the master's signal, Chunliu walked to the outside of the pavilion like the new concubine who had only entered the palace yesterday.
Hunched his waist and bowed his head, his voice was gentle, and he said to Qin Yun: "Concubine Dai, Concubine Niangniang, please come in." ”
