Chapter 74: Concubine Shu
Walking out of Cining Palace, Qin Luan saw a small palace maid on the palace road.
The palace maid saluted her and said, "Miss Qin, the slave maid is from the palace of the lady concubine, and the maid wants to meet the girl." ”
Qin Luan didn't respond, and turned her head to look at the grandmother of Cining Palace who sent her out.
Mama hangs her hands, her eyes look at her nose, and her nose looks at her heart.
Qin Luan understood.
was able to invite someone at the gate of Cining Palace, and Concubine Shu's move was obviously approved by the Queen Mother.
She refused, and it was of little use.
It's better to cheer up and listen to what the lady has to say to her.
Qin Luan's head.
Follow the little palace maid all the way through the imperial garden to the concubine's bedroom.
As one of the four concubines, Concubine Shu is the head of this palace, but there are no other low-ranking concubines living here.
Concubine Niangniang lay on the couch, squinted at Qin Luan with phoenix eyes for a while, and said, "Let's all quit, I have something to say to Miss Qin." ”
The palace people rushed out.
Concubine Shu didn't even leave a palace maid, but only faced Qin Luan alone.
She beckoned and asked Qin Luan to step forward, and her voice was low: "Actually, it was the Queen Mother who asked me to find you." ”
Qin Luan was not surprised by this.
Seeing her deferential look, Concubine Shu chuckled lightly and spoke very softly: "Your life, but there is no prince to marry, this is more than her nephew's grandson being exiled and her brother falling ill, which makes the Queen Mother unable to sleep well at night, she wants to know how much ability you have." ”
Qin Luan blinked.
Reason, indeed, is the same as she guessed.
But these words, coming out of the mouth of Concubine Shu, seemed to carry ridicule and malice towards the Queen Mother.
So, is Concubine Shu pretending to be obedient, but actually regards the Queen Mother as an enemy, or is she a red-faced and white-faced, and she is tempted by another way?
Qin Luan couldn't guess for a while, so he just waited quietly for Concubine Shu to continue.
"She wants to know," Concubine Shu sat up, "what about me, it's just too boring, you see, I have no children or daughters, and I can't see the emperor a few times a year, and I am boring every day, so I just asked you to talk." ”
"Niangniang, I speak straight," Qin Luan asked, "You are not favored, and you have no children and no daughters, why are you the fourth concubine?" ”
The harem has the rules of the harem.
The emperor's concubines said a lot less, and if they wanted to say more, there were not so many.
Also, it doesn't have to be filled with people.
There are still two empty concubines in the fourth concubine, but it seems that the concubines who are among them are very conspicuous.
"You really want to ask," Concubine Shu's phoenix eyes were full of smiles, obviously not feeling the slightest offense to Qin Luan's direct question, "Why?" Because I'm going to please the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes me to be such a sweet-mouthed concubine who can understand her eyes. ”
"So today, according to the will of the Queen Mother, let me come to see you." Qin Luan said.
"Yes," Concubine Shu said very bluntly, "I have pleased, found someone to talk to, and you have nothing to lose, and it is not bad for you and me." ”
Qin Luan blinked.
The meaning of good and evil, Qin Luan has always been keenly perceived.
Don't look at Concubine Shu's words, but she doesn't have the slightest malice towards Qin Luan.
Concubine Shu's smile was very real, so that Qin Luan couldn't be a little guarded.
Without the kind of scrutiny and exploration of the queen mother, Concubine Shu is completely freewheeling.
It's like, she's just trying to get things done.
This made Qin Luan want to know even more about what Concubine Shu was thinking about besides doing things according to the queen mother's wishes.
"I thought," Qin Luan also smiled, "If the mother wants to please the queen mother, she needs to work harder, just order a mao but don't make a effort, and the queen mother is not easy to fool." ”
Concubine Shu looked at Qin Luan suspiciously, and smiled even more happily.
She even burst into tears of laughter.
took out the handkerchief and pressed it, and Concubine Shu leaned on the pillow, signaling Qin Luan to come closer.
"That's what I said," Sakura pursed her lips slightly, and there was a little disdain in her laziness, and Concubine Shu said, "But what about me, I really don't like to embarrass little girls, I'm in my early thirties, but I'm also from fourteen, five, or sixteen." The Queen Mother, maybe she is old and has been separated for too long, so she forgot it, right? ”
Qin Luan blinked.
Seeing her look of "I listened, but I didn't say anything", Concubine Shu smiled and said: "So, if you want to talk, you can speak, if you don't want to talk, just sit for a while, and stay for another two quarters of an hour, so that I can make a good deal." ”
Having said that, Qin Luan also sat down.
When she entered the palace today, she did not wear a robe.
In order to be grounded in order to "not be as beautiful as everyone", Qin Luan followed Mrs. Hou's words, and recently, in front of outsiders, he gave his grandfather a face.
There was no dust in his hand, but it did not affect Qin Luan's eyes and concentration.
As long as the lady lady doesn't keep staring at her......
Qin Luan is not afraid that others will look at her, but after all, this is Concubine Shu's bedroom, first, she has to be vigilant, and second, she completely ignores the master and is not polite.
"What would you like to talk to me about?" Qin Luan opened his eyes and asked.
"Cultivators, do you really have so many abilities?" Concubine Shu frowned and pondered, and said for a while, "I want to know, is there any pill in the world that can make you pregnant if you eat it?" ”
She had been thinking about this question for too long, so much so that Qin Luan felt that Concubine Shu had nothing to say.
"You also said that you can't see the emperor a few times a year, if you are pregnant, it is not suitable, right?" Qin Luan said.
Concubine Shuliu frowned and said angrily: "The little girl's family, how can you speak?" You're not out of the cabinet yet! ”
"I'm not out of the cabinet, don't you ask me for these too?"
Concubine Shu looked at her with a pout.
Qin Luan had no choice but to say, "Shouldn't you be more radiant than to get pregnant after eating?" When the emperor comes, the child will come. ”
"You're right," Concubine Shu nodded, "Because of His Royal Highness, the emperor has been annoyed with Concubine Shun in recent days, and he doesn't go to her, and the few small ones in her palace are also affected and can't see the holy face."
What did I say earlier? There is no shortage of people in this palace, just like Liu Zhaorong, a person who died a few years ago, suddenly full of glory, and suddenly enveloped the sacred heart.
You reminded me, maybe she just used some kind of elixir!
You give me a few pills of this. ”
Qin Luan: ......
She was sure that Concubine Shu just didn't have anything to say.
If you really give Concubine Shu those strange pills, she will definitely not eat any of them.
The reminder in Concubine Shu's mouth refers to "one more reason for the difference".
She tested Qin Luan's ability for the Queen Mother and begged for pills, isn't it an excellent entry point?
Xu is enough to make a difference, but Concubine Shu didn't let Qin Luan sit for two quarters of an hour as promised, and sent off the guests happily.
The little palace maid led Qin Luan up, and the palace maids who had withdrawn from the screen entered the palace again.
The old lady helped Concubine Shu and said, "You and Miss Qin had a very pleasant conversation, and the slaves and maids heard you laughing happily outside." ”
"yes," Concubine Shu nodded, "I'm so happy." ”
When looking at Qin Luan, Concubine Shu was in a trance.
It's like going back to that early morning when she was four years old, and she looked up at those bloody, heroic women who were rescued from the knife.
She didn't know the names of each of them, only the words on the flying banner.
They said it was the word "rose".
That was the beginning of her new life.
is also the reason why she has spent more than ten years in this harem.
