Chapter 12: Please Calm the Storm
Once you call your name, you can't help but go in.
Hanging her head all the way in, Jiang Xian felt countless pairs of eyes fall on her body, and she bowed down: "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”
This time, she stabilized her waist.
If the queen has the heart to embarrass her and wants her to worship for a long time, she can also use the core strength that she has been exercising on weekdays to maintain the most standard posture of asking for peace, and teach people not to find faults.
Unexpectedly, a faint female voice soon came from above: "Get up." The emperor has exempted you from today's greetings, why don't you have a good rest in Yizhuxuan? ”
"It is the concubine's duty to ask the queen for peace, as long as the legs and feet can still move, the concubines want to come to Jianzhang Palace."
Jiang Xian is loyal.
She has a low position, and if the queen really wants to target her, her life in the palace will inevitably become sad immediately, and she has to express her attitude clearly.
Jiang Xian swept the queen's face with her afterglow, and found that what Ma Wanyi said was actually true, the queen sat dignified and looked as usual, but the faint dark blue under her eyes was haggard that even rouge gouache could not hide.
"It's time to come more."
The queen nodded, and acquiesced to her standing in the back row.
According to the convention, Chang Zai and Promise are transparent people in the palace, but today Shu Chang is in the limelight. Jiang Xian didn't want others to pay too much attention to her appearance, so she turned off the [Fan Filter] aura. But even without the soft light filter, her appearance and figure are always extremely beautiful.
Every day when the palace concubine comes to ask for peace, the main hall of Jianzhang Palace is like an open makeup box, the box is full of jewels, Shu is often dressed ordinary, but the appearance is the most bright gem.
Chen, who was still her pawn when she came to Jianzhang Palace, promised that she wouldn't dare to put a fart now.
The palace concubine looked her up and down, and her gaze at her became more and more unkind.
It's just that Jiang Xian missed a little.
She removed the filter aura, but the [Dark Fragrance Floating] she bought last night did not expire, and it was still in effect, it could make others smell a unique aroma, which was the most ardent desire of the people around her at this moment - because it was a palace bucket system, it expected that the host would be used to look at the beauty under the lamp when the wind and snow were shining, and what I thought was either a strong incense or a faint fragrance, but the time of the day was different.
From the moment she walked in, Empress Chu smelled the excellent soothing fragrance that made her drowsy.
Ma Wanyi is right, the queen didn't sleep well.
The reason is not that Shu is often sleeping.
It is all kinds of palace chores - the birthday tribute of the concubine, the tribute offered by the feudal state, the emperor allocated a batch to the queen to distribute to the palace concubine, seeing that it is almost the end of the festival, the lights of Jianzhang Palace have not been turned off for a long time, and she wants to avoid everyone's greetings. Ma Wanyi wanted to provoke the queen to target Shu Chang, but it was a mistake, and the queen heard that Shu Chang was waiting for the emperor to call the water until the middle of the night, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Well, it turns out that everyone didn't sleep well.
What the queen smelled was soothing incense, but what Concubine Zhang Xian smelled was the aroma of the pot in her heart. She has a regular temperament but good food, after the winter, she especially likes to pass the pot, the mutton is sliced into a thin slice, and the soup with the big ingredients is rolled over and you will see the white, the fragrance is not good, but this thing is on fire, and the mouth is burned after eating for three days, and I have to eat the green vegetable porridge, I can't smell the meat, and I am hungry when I smell it.
Under the effect of the system's [dark incense floating], in Concubine Zhang Xian's sense of smell, Jiang Xian is like a moving Sichuan hot pot.
She couldn't figure out why Shu Changzai would come to greet her with a meaty fragrance.
I heard that the emperor kept Shu and often spent the night in Weiyang Palace, how much the emperor loves clean, how can he not fall asleep with a hot pot in his arms, where did she get the smell? Concubine Zhang Xian was puzzled in her heart, but her body was very honestly greedy and swallowed violently.
And this scene fell in the eyes of others......
Concubine Rong covered her lips with a handkerchief, and was slightly shocked: A person who is always in the position, and getting the title is very different, you can use the status of Concubine Zhang Xian, and you don't need to hate this person so much that she grits her teeth, right? She originally wanted to show this Shu Chang a little bit of power, but now it seems that there is no need, she is a little curious about how Concubine Zhang Xian, who is usually cautious and cautious, will clean up when she is jealous.
Concubine Rong glanced at the queen above.
Queen, she was almost asleep.
The rest of the palace concubines, in addition to smelling their favorite incense from Jiang Xian, there is the woman who is obsessed with remembering the emperor - Guo Guiren clearly smelled the emperor's ambergris on her!
Guo Guiren decided that Jiang Xian had intercepted her favor, and now that she saw this good appearance, she remembered the jealousy when Chu Xiugong and her first met each other, and new hatred and old hatred came up together, and she couldn't help but smile tiredly: "Before Shu Chang came, Sister Wanyi was still talking about Shu Chang Zai's rules, did Shu Chang hear it?" ”
Seeing that Guo Guiren was in trouble, Ma Wanyi also followed: "Everything has a degree, Shu Chang made trouble in the second half of the night when he went to bed for the first time, if he delayed His Majesty's early court, it was not something that you could afford to be a little Chang Zai." ”
It's a big hat buttoned down.
The palace concubine next to her looked at her coldly, even if she didn't fall into the well, she didn't want to say anything to help.
Seeing that Jiang Xian had become the target of everyone, Guo Guiren's heart rose with a secret pleasure - God's grace is so good, but it also depends on whether she is blessed to be blessed, if the same thing happens to her, Concubine Xu, who is good friends with her mother's family, will inevitably speak out and want to persuade her, and others will not dare to treat her too harshly for her father's sake.
Give Shu Chang the emperor's grace in one night, can she stand it?
Chen Promise, who was behind Jiang Xian, moved his lips.
Chen promised to help, but Ma Wanyi was asking Jiang Xian what she said, and her position was low, and interjecting would be useless.
"Back to Sister Wanyi's words, when the concubine was learning the rules, she found that the palace rules did not indicate the hour before which hour the maid must call for water, but the palace rules have changed, and the concubine is lonely and unknowable?"
Jiang Xian stood and replied, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
This surprised others.
I heard that this Shu is often from a poor country, and no matter how well she learns the rules, she should be cautious, but she didn't expect it to be very stable. Ma Wanyi never expected her to dare to throw the problem back to herself, and she couldn't help but panic.
A graceful has no power to change the rules of the palace.
Jiang Xian showed a little sadness again: "Could it be that there are still detailed rules for sleeping in the harem that the concubines don't know?" Hey, after Sister Wanyi said this, the concubine was very frightened, for fear that which action would be taboo last night, Sister Wanyi is so clear about the things in Weiyang Palace, and she still hopes that Sister Wanyi will give advice. ”
That's a terrible thing to say.
Up and down the harem, the queen and Concubine Rong, who has divided the palace power, are qualified to stretch out their hands to other palaces, but the emperor's Weiyang Palace is also something they can't investigate openly, let alone Ma Wanyi.
Hearing this, Ma Wanyi's face turned pale and she couldn't speak.
At this moment, Concubine Rong said coldly:
"That's enough."
