Chapter 176: Concubine

When the warm day is noisy, but I don't hear the sound of birds, it is inevitable to show some loneliness.

Ruan Yuyi crooked at the top of the hall, silently watching Cen Li unhurriedly pretending to arrange tea and fruit snacks, pouring tea, her lips pursed, and finally she didn't say anything.

Cen Li prepared everything, owed, and stepped aside, his eyes calm, as if he had not noticed her displeasure.

Yesterday's concubine's will, the whole palace was shocked, flattering in the open, congratulating, I don't know how many. Secretly biting a mouthful of silver teeth, it must be indispensable, but she didn't let her see it, and she didn't know it.

The decree of this concubine was supposed to be more justified for her to take charge of the phoenix seal, but the canonization ceremony was postponed on the grounds of her poor health.

"Niangniang," Mu Xiang knocked on the door with her hand, "Concubine Xu has arrived." ”

"Please."

I don't know if it's a private string, but the masters of each palace actually said that they would come to congratulate at a time. But on second thought, it's better to do this, so that she doesn't have to deal with it again and again.

At the junction of light and shadow, a woman in a snow-green cloak slowly walked in, her face was pale, and even her voice couldn't wave, "I've seen Concubine Jinniang." ”

The word "hibiscus" reminds Ruan Yuyi of the hibiscus flower in Shenghe Temple. It was still autumn, and it was the time when the hibiscus was brilliant. He folded the flowers, and the hairpin was on her sideburns, and the feeling of the soft and wet petals brushing her ears seemed to remain.

The title of the concubine is either a warning or a praise of character, but I have never heard of a flower as a title.

She lowered her eyes, thinking that he had chosen it at random.

It's just that this word inevitably makes her remember that it was she who approached him first, and she provoked him first, and this gold-carved cage was also stepped into by herself, and she didn't seem to complain about others.

Concubine Xu called naturally, but she was uncomfortable, pulled out a smile, and gave people a seat, "Concubine Xu came early, Yan Baolin is afraid that he will be lazy to get up at this time." ”

Concubine Xu was about to drink tea, but she paused again when she heard the words, "It's just a habit." She raised her hand and took a sip of the tea in her hand, seeing that the back of her hand was red, thinking that it was also cold by the wind.

One sentence intercepted the conversation, she stopped talking, and the two were relatively speechless for a while.

In fact, she thought that this Xu family was a bad person to get along with at first, but after more contact, she realized that she was just really not good at words.

Instead, the two of them staying quietly together will make her feel more comfortable.

However, after a small half of the tea, the palace next to it gradually came, and after seeing the ceremony, Ruan Yuyi gave the seats one by one.

Yan Baolin and Li Meiren talked a lot, and there was a voice in the hall to fill the emptiness.

"Sister Ruan, the concubine personally made some candied fruit for my sister to taste." Yan Baolin still remembered that Ruan Yuyi asked him for preserved fruit when she went to the palace, and she said with crooked eyebrows. The maid next to her presented a small porcelain jar.

Mu Xiang took it.

She glanced at it, and the candied fruit inside was almost full to the mouth of the bottle, with a small amount of frosting on it, thinking that Yan Baolin had heard her mention it and knew that she loved sour, so she didn't put more sugar.

Her heart warmed, and she said softly, "It's hard for you to remember." ”

"What's the difficulty," Yan Baolin smiled even more happily, like a little fox, "The concubine is still thinking about the pastries here from Niangniang." In the past, I only heard my sister send it to Sister Shufei, and I didn't remember some of my sisters. ”

The pastries in Jiangnan are not the same as those in Beijing, and the craftsmanship of Muxiang has long been known in the palace.

She is still young after all, and she speaks openly.

At the mention of Concubine Shu, the atmosphere in the room was obviously congrozen. The affairs of the Rong family are important, even the harem does not know it, and all the palace clubs understand what this means, and treat the concubine as some taboo, and everyone is in danger.

Ruan Yuyi was in a trance. It is clear that Concubine Shu was still graceful not long ago, sitting on the top, and the east window incident happened for a while, but no one even mentioned it.

She collected her thoughts, and made her tone sound more relaxed, "Muxiang, can you listen?" Yan Baolin thought about this for a long time. ”

"The slave will make it later, and send it to Baolin." Mu Xiang replied with a smile.

"Then thank you sister first."

Yan Baolin's greed is real, and there is no lack of ingenuity. It's just some pastries, which are naturally nothing to Luo Meixuan, but this time and again, the relationship has become closer.

Someone below snorted lightly, "Now that Niangniang is a concubine, someone is going to be in a hurry." asked the concubine to say that on the night of the mother's inheritance, Yan Baolin would have been close a long time ago, but now it is late. ”

Yan Baolin's smile froze, "What did Sister Li say?" ”

Seeing that her expression was different, Li Meiren covered her mouth proudly and smiled, "Some candied fruit is not shabby." She looked arrogant, and she couldn't hide her loneliness.

She was the first to enter the palace, and she watched one by one become concubines, but there was not the slightest rain and dew falling on herself, how could she not hate.

"That-" Yan Baolin still had to refute.

"Okay," Ruan Yuyi stopped, learning from Concubine Shu to say some scenes, "It's all a sister, if Li Meiren also wants to taste pastries, this palace asks Mu Xiang to make more, and send some to each palace." ”

Secretly, her palms were drenched in cold sweat, and she felt a little slippery when she pinched her sleeve stove.

Li Meiren glanced at her, and her hostility was even worse, "The concubine can't stand it." The gift of sealing the concubine has not been carried out, and the mother is still careful not to make any mistakes. ”

She paused and dragged her tone, "After all, the highest position in the past belonged to Sister Concubine Xu." ”

Concubine Xu thought that Li Meiren talked a lot, put down the teacup, and said rarely, "If Li Meiren's many words are moved to a bird and hung in the courtyard of the Heart Palace, Your Majesty will be happy." ”

Li Meiren was dumbfounded.

Ruan Yuyi never thought that Concubine Xu would be sarcastic like this, so she couldn't help but smile, and then hurriedly wiped away the smile and talked about the gossip with everyone.

Gossip a few times, and go back to each palace.

A few gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes left Wan Tingting, and there was a lot of emptiness in the house, and Cen Li consciously went to clean up the tea cup and other things.

She rubbed her forehead with her fingers.

Mu Xiang noticed it and asked, "Niangniang is tired?" Why don't you rest in the inner room? ”

"It's only been a long time since Fang got up, how can he sleep again, and he won't sleep stupidly," she put one hand on the rabbit, "In the past, Concubine Shu dealt with it, and this palace didn't know, but now Fang Jue, this Li beauty, is really a little noisy." ”

The rabbit sat on her lap, a ball of white velvet, much larger than the time of the autumn hunt, and it was arching into her arms.

Yes, no matter who speaks, she has to reply, as if she doesn't say something mean, and her heart is not happy. In the end, they don't like that side, but they put themselves alone.

Yan Baolin walked to the door, saw that everyone was gone, and turned back.

Ruan Yuyi saw her come back, and there was a slight surprise in her eyes, "Sister Yan, but there is something else to do?" ”

Yan Baolin stared at the rabbit on her lap for a long time, obviously having some interest in it. When she saw this, she asked Mu Xiang to hand the rabbit over, saying that she wanted her to help hold it for a while.

Yan Baolin took it at a loss, and when he saw that it was very affectionate, he relaxed.

She followed its soft fur, was silent for a while, and hesitated, "It is rumored in the palace that my sister is pretending to be a fox and blowing the pillow wind for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty ignored Sister Xu and got the right to rule the six palaces......"

She raised her eyes to look at Ruan Yuyi, "What they said is true?" ”
