Chapter 51: Meet Liu
And at this time in the Queen's Palace......
Empress Liu was angry in her heart, and simply summoned all the harem concubines together, Your Majesty has a lot of concubines who have been favored these days, she doesn't believe that these two have no weight in her heart, if everyone collectively pleads, Your Majesty may turn his mind.
And except for a very small number of women who were born in the palace, most of these women were born into big families or official eunuchs, how could they be willing to let the daughter of a criminal minister press on their heads? Listening to His Majesty's intentions, he still respects him as the head of the concubines, and asks them to go to ask for peace every day, how can they be willing?
So almost all the high-ranking concubines came, and Queen Liu didn't bother to say goodbye to them, but said directly:
"Summoned you, you have always known the meaning of this palace, and now Your Majesty is discriminating against women, it's okay, it's just to canonize her as a virtuous concubine, and give her the right to associate the six palaces, what do you think about the arrangement, you might as well come and listen."
Wei Zhaoyi spoke first: "What opinion can the concubine have, everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement, but this Qi girl is too humble, if Your Majesty insists on canonizing her as a first-class virtuous concubine, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from others." ”
If Qi Min'er is canonized, the least favorite should be this Wei Zhaoyi, she is the head of the nine concubines, and she is only one step away from being canonized as a concubine, but she is not very favored, if she gives birth to a prince or princess, she may be able to be promoted to the throne again.
For this goal, Wei Zhaoyi can be said to be thinking day and night, thinking about how to get favored, and even specially selected a few beautiful palace maids from the palace, thinking that if he is not favored, he can use these palace maids to get a little attention.
It's just that she didn't expect that what she wanted to ask for by all means, the other party would get it so easily, if Qi Min'er was the concubine of the former Marquis of Mingyuan, after all, she was the best among the nobles in Beijing.
But her current identity is just the daughter of a criminal minister, and I heard that she is still washing clothes in the Huanyi Bureau, how can Wei Zhaoyi be willing to be willing with such a background?
Zhang Jieyu, who was under Wei Zhaoyi, also hurriedly echoed: "What Sister Wei said makes sense, you might as well go and tell Your Majesty that the status of the concubine is humble, no better than the mother of the concubine, and your Majesty looks at her, even if this Qi girl wants to be favored by Your Majesty, she can be given the position of a girl according to the rules, if Your Majesty is really favored, the position of a seven-grade royal maid can also be, why give her such a high position, and also give her the right to associate the six palaces, let us ask for peace every day." ”
Before Zhang Jieyu finished speaking, Jin Meiren on the side interjected: "Yes, this is really out of order, and I have to take care of it." ”
Jin Meiren is newly favored, her mother's status is not high, just a clerk in the county, her identity is not qualified to be selected as a concubine to participate in the small election, so she entered the palace as a female historian according to the identity of the female official.
Later, somehow she suddenly got the favor of His Majesty, first she was given the position of Baolin, and after a while, she was promoted to a beauty, and she was still one of the few concubines in the palace who was given the title by His Majesty, and it can be said that she was very favored.
Jin Meiren was originally proud of this favor, but in the blink of an eye, Qi Min'er climbed faster than her, and she was the first rank from the beginning, which made her jealous and envious, and these days, she was also faintly aware of it.
His Majesty canonized her as a concubine and promoted her to the throne, but he never favored her.
Just let her sit alone by the railing, and then paint according to his appearance, but the Jin beauty secretly went to see it, and the woman in the painting is only five points like her, only the side face is more like, and the other party's dress and dress are clearly not her style.
At that time, she knew that perhaps His Majesty favored her because she was like a person, and she was thinking about who that person was. I heard a palace person report that a palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau was directly sealed as a concubine, and she had this speculation in her heart.
When Jin Meiren was thinking about how to speak so that she could help Empress Liu come out, she heard a palace person preaching outside:
"Queen Qiyu, Concubine Xian is waiting outside the Luanfeng Palace, I want to say hello to you."
After listening to the palace maid's communication, Queen Liu first glanced at the group of concubines, and then sneered:
"She is respectful, she has just canonized the virtuous concubine, and before the canonization ceremony, she came to me to say goodbye, is this an eye medicine? Or is it a sign of respect? Let's let her in. ”
Everyone is curious about what kind of appearance this virtuous concubine is born to make people fall so into? They are no more noble than Queen Liu, who turned out to be the nobles in Beijing, and they had several encounters with each other, everyone looked outside secretly, only to see a beautiful woman walking in, looking at the beautiful appearance.
What's even more rare is that she is very elegant, but she looks very charming, and she does not use gold, silver and gems to embellish her outfits, and only uses two plain jade hairpins to tie her hair in a bun. can look at the hosta water head of the water of the Chinese Resources, it is clearly the best, and what is even more rare is that her clothes are fluttering, which makes her appearance extraordinarily soft.
Even if they hate her for being favored by His Majesty, they have to admit calmly that she is indeed beautiful.
This kind of beauty is not the kind of aggressive showy, but like a trickling stream, it is very soft and warm.
"The concubines see the queen's mother, may the queen's mother be blessed and safe." Qi Min'er saluted to Queen Liu, her etiquette was not wrong, and it could even be said to be extremely standardized, but looking at her manners, there was always a faint arrogance.
It seems that her salute is only for this identity, not for Empress Liu, all the concubines and concubines glanced at each other, and determined that this Concubine Qi Xian is not as good as she seems, and Empress Liu also said coldly with a stiff face:
"You have a heart, but yesterday you were still a palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau, and today you have become the mother of Yufu Palace, I don't know how you feel? At the beginning, this palace thought that you were honest, but I never thought that you still had such means, but you really deserve your Qi family's tutor. ”
When she said this, Queen Qi covered her mouth again, and seemed to laugh inadvertently: "Look, this palace is wrong again, how can there be any Qi family now, it's just a group of exiled criminals, now that you are in a high position, don't forget your mother's family, but with that kind of background, it's difficult for you to have no mustard, right?" Hahaha, Concubine Xian, you have to deal with it indifferently. ”
Niangniang laughed, the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how dare the concubine be dissatisfied, but Niangniang is now in the harem, so she talks about the government so vainly, and it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of trespassing. Although the concubine is only a virtuous concubine, there is a concubine who is allowed to assist in the affairs of the six palaces as mentioned by His Majesty, and the concubine should advise the mother to ensure the peace of the harem. ”
After that, Qi Min'er turned to look at the group of concubines who were sitting still, and seemed to inadvertently remind:
"If this palace is not mistaken, your positions are all under this palace, according to the rules of the harem, why don't you salute when you see a high-ranking concubine? Well? ”
Her tone was very light, but the meaning of her words carried a faint warning, and when Jin Meiren heard this, she hurriedly got up and saluted her.
If it was just a guess before, when she saw Qi Min'er now, Jin Meiren already knew exactly why she was favored.
Her side face is really very similar to Qi Min'er, but compared to the other party's soft and gentle facial features, her face is slightly tougher, and it is only a little more like when she looks at it from the side, so His Majesty often lets her sit alone by the railing, because that angle is the most similar.
But now if it is said that Concubine Xian is genuine, then she is just a fake, with the other party, the main master, how can His Majesty spoil her again, and it will be considered a fluke to be able to keep the position of this beauty in the future, how can she ask for more?
Therefore, Jin Meiren took the lead in asking Qi Min'er for peace, just thinking that the other party should not be disgusted with her looks, so she came to rectify her, and looked at Concubine Xian's face when she asked the queen for peace, but her words implied the meaning of calling her out, not to mention her status as a beauty.
The rest of the concubines saw Jin Meiren's movements, and reluctantly shouted a dog's leg in their hearts, but in the end they all got up to say goodbye, and finally Wang Meiren got up unwillingly and saluted her perfunctorily.
Qi Min'er only looked at her and said with a light smile: "Look at Wang Zhaoyi's rules, you don't learn the rules very well, no wonder Your Majesty doesn't often go to see you, I think you are also a little lazy, but how can you be so casual in the harem, you are the head of the nine concubines, you should be an example."
Since the palace is in charge of the power of the six palaces, then you will be the master and pick your green card, you first learn the rules, don't be so casual, and then talk about the bed. ”
"You!"
As soon as she heard Qi Min'er say this, Wang Zhaoyi stood up straight angrily, she was not favored by His Majesty, she could be favored once a month, but now she has been delisted, and I don't know how long she will have to wait for the next time she is favored?
And Empress Liu endured it for a long time and was still dissatisfied: "Concubine Xian, you are really too arrogant, this is in the palace of this palace, this palace is still the queen, how can you give orders here?" ”
"Niangniang is always easy to be soft-hearted, not to mention that the concubine is under the orders of His Majesty, since she holds this right, she naturally has to do her part, if Niangniang is dissatisfied, please go to Your Majesty to say it."
After that, before Empress Liu could refute, Qi Min'er said again: "Seeing that Niangniang has other things to do, then the concubine will not bother first, and the concubine will retire first." ”
When she walked out of the palace, Aunt Zhao, who served with Qi Min'er, was a little hesitant to speak, she was the aunt in charge of the Huanyi Bureau, and Qi Min'er specially asked her to serve by her side after she was promoted.
It is naturally better to be by the side of the favorite concubine than in the Huanyi Bureau, so Aunt Zhao is very grateful to Qi Min'er, and naturally she plans for her wholeheartedly.
Qi Min'er was very patient when she was in the Huanyi Bureau before, but now after being canonized as a concubine, she is very sharp. As the so-called wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Aunt Zhao considered some language and persuaded her:
"Niangniang, you have just been favored now, there must be a lot of people in the harem who are jealous of you, you came to ask for peace with such a big fanfare today, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from others, and the slave maid has some doubts in her heart."
Qi Min'er didn't blame her when she heard this, but looked at her and smiled lightly, and then said very calmly:
"This is Your Majesty's meaning, and it is also my own thoughts, no matter how humble this canonization is, others will always have a lot to say, that is, why not feel comfortable."
