Chapter Seventy-Four: Roll Call to the Buddha
After leaning on Zhuxuan, the emperor also asked other concubines to take off their makeup on a whim.
The results were not as good as they could have been.
He felt quite lost, went around and returned to Jiang Xian's side, and held her face like a shell: "Up and down the six palaces, only Xian'er can show me her true face." β
Pleasing the emperor's true face is also the effect of the system's one-second makeup and fan filters.
Jiang Xian, who had the truth in her hand, had no choice but to smile when she heard this black humorous sentence.
"Xian'er doesn't look proud at all."
In other palace concubines, it is common to hide needles in the cotton to suppress others.
Jiang Xian: "The emperor seems to be very persistent about the true face of the concubine. β
The emperor bowed: "In front of me, there should be no deception. β
The incense in the room is burning quietly, and before it is burned, there will be a palace maid who will quietly replace it, all the good things are just because someone is operating silently behind the scenes, Jiang Xian picked up his hand and pressed it on his lower abdomen through his belly pocket. The beauty's waist is like a snake, and the emperor thought she was going to invite a favor, but he heard her say: "Your Majesty, if you stab here, the concubine will also die." β
The emperor looked at her with low eyes, waiting for her next sentence.
"Without a sense of distance, only the naked vital point remains."
"Women paint makeup, in addition to letting their favorite men see the good side, but also to protect themselves."
"The emperor is rich all over the world, why bother to investigate the true face of a weak woman?"
A worker who blindly curries favor with his boss does not give advice.
The boss played the company to death, so change jobs.
The harem concubine can't change jobs, Jiang Xian thinks it is necessary to give a little advice, so as to save the emperor from going all the way to the dark on the road of pursuing the truth, kindness and beauty of women. Rich and powerful people don't have to run around for food and clothing, they are naturally comfortable and elegant and calm, and the harem women beg for a life under the imperial power, and the emperor really shouldn't demand too much from them.
If the emperor pursues truth, goodness and beauty endlessly, I am afraid that she will also have a day when she will not be satisfied.
What's more, if you don't dare to say a word for a day, it's just a thing for a day.
Liang Yuyin, who was keeping vigil, listened to the drums in his heart.
Gu Guiren is so bold!
Dare to go against the emperor's words...... In the eyes of the eunuchs, everything only needs to please the emperor, so why bother? Jiang Xian knew that this could only be said by her, because her plain makeup was perfect in the eyes of the emperor, and she was qualified to say this, and what others said was like a quibble.
The harem is her lifelong binding workplace, and if there is a problem with the boss's thinking, she has to bring people back.
The atmosphere on the bed seemed to be colder, and the emperor was silent for a long time.
After a moment, he pulled up the quilt and put it on her: "Settle it early." β
β»
The next day, the emperor left in a hurry.
Pillow Qiu and Mian Xia both looked panicked, as if they were the ones who said the wrong thing in front of the emperor.
However, Jiang Xian, the main owner of the basket, was very calm.
The master didn't speak, and the slave couldn't open his voice indiscriminately, so they had to keep cleaning in the inner room, watching Mian Xia pick up the same porcelain bottle and scrub it for the third time, Jiang Xian couldn't help laughing: "Later, you will have to wash off all the patterns on the bottle." β
Chen promised to be surprised: "I think the palace maids in your main hall are not very clever." β
was said by Yi Zhuxuan's Shuangshang Basin not to be clever, and Mian Xia forcibly endured the grievances.
Hexiang: "Little master, killing people is not too much, you can't say such excessive things." β
"Oh," Chen agreed, and changed his words, "That's still clever, but it's far worse than me." β
Hexiang felt that it was better for her master to say less.
"The little master is still in the mood to laugh at the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are not also anxious for the little master." Thinking of the conversation she heard while guarding outside the door last night, Mian Xia wanted to cry. In the past, when the emperor came up to lean on Zhuxuan, he was gentle and petty to his master, and he had never made a cold scene, so why did he disobey the emperor because of this little thing! Mian Xia felt that it was not worth it.
"Did anything happen yesterday?"
Chen, who had a good night's sleep, promised to wonder.
"I can't say the details, to the effect that when I was in bed, I said something that the emperor didn't like to hear, which annoyed the emperor." The gossip of the Son of Heaven can't be said casually, Jiang Xian said a word, Chen promised to raise his hand and touch the back of his neck: "A clever person like you will also annoy the emperor when you are sleeping, and I will go to the bed, and I may have been given white silk by now." β
Hexiang nodded approvingly.
If the master is given death, what life does she have as the personal palace maid by the master's side.
Zhuqiu boiled tea and took snacks to serve, she was not as emotional as Mianxia, but there was also a melancholy between her eyebrows: "The next time the little lord sees the emperor, let's say something soft." The affection between the master and the emperor may be able to tolerate one or two disobedience. β
This is because Pillow Autumn is not as panicked as Sleep Summer.
She felt that the next time her master met, she would have a chance to coax the emperor.
She thought very well, and Jiang Xian thought so too.
In case the emperor really can't listen to any advice. That's it, roll in the direction of brainless flattery, and you don't have to come up with any resources that benefit the country and the people, and strive to kill the concubine on the way to please the emperor, and replace it by yourself.
This is the margin for error that she has worked hard to roll out in the past.
However, things have changed.
β»
On the fifteenth day, the queen led the concubine to the queen mother to say goodbye as usual.
Jiang Xian didn't even have a seat in Changle Palace, and Chen promised that he could only stand outside to show his filial piety.
The queen mother and the queen had a conversation, and the content revolved around the sister-in-law: "During the period of time when the mourning family was closed to worship the Buddha, the queen's stomach did not move." When she spoke, she held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and the beads were twisted by her over the years and polished to a crystal oil: "Even on the birthday of the mourning family, the mourning family has never touched a mouthful of meat, why is there no good news?" β
I really don't blame the queen for this.
The emperor stayed in Jianzhang Palace for very few days, basically on the fifteenth day of the first month.
What's more, hard work is not conducive to pregnancy.
However, the queen mother will not think about this, all the mistakes are the fault of her daughter-in-law, and the queen also understands this, and stands aside to listen to the training.
"I don't blame you for this,"
The Queen Mother's words changed, and her eyes also fell on Jiang Xian, who was standing next: "In this harem, who bears more rain and dew, the mourning family knows it." Gu Guiren must be a blessed person who has received the grace of God. β
Jiang Xian, who was named, had no choice but to reply: "The concubine doesn't dare to be, if you talk about receiving holy grace, it is worse than the concubine's sister." β
In terms of the number of times the brand is turned over, the concubine has more than her.
Concubine Rong Guifei, who was named, had a decent smile on her face, and when she was talking about the scene, her eyes of death turned over.
This scene is like being criticized by the head teacher and pulling a cushion.
The Queen Mother twisted the Buddha beads: "The concubine has also been favored by the saint for many years, and has she been diagnosed recently?" β
After receiving a negative answer, the Queen Mother summoned the imperial doctor who had been prepared for a long time to diagnose Concubine Rong's pulse.
Pulse Resultsββ
Not.
The Queen Mother is more energetic than her heir today, just like a Demon Panic mobile game player who believes in a single miracle, she actually let the imperial doctor go through one by one, and the ending is nothing, her face is becoming more and more gloomy, and the originally peaceful smile has also become Vajra Shura.
News came from outside the palace today, and the side concubine of the prince Xie Lou seemed to be pregnant.
How this tells her not to be in a hurry.
His son is good everywhere, why is there no good news in the harem!
"The emperor is busy with court affairs, the Son of Heaven's health is important, and it is not good to follow the mourning family to become a vegetarian, the queen also has to worry about palace affairs, and she must not be idle for a moment, so it is better to let Gu Guiren and the concubine accompany the mourning family to worship the Buddha, and the emperor is full of filial piety."
As soon as the Queen Mother's Chrysostom opened, the room was full of shock.
was named to accompany the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha, then he couldn't sleep.
The days that are vacated greatly increase their chances of being flopped. After thinking of this, countless palace concubines cast grateful glances at the queen mother, Guo Cairen lowered his head and removed the malice in his eyes - the concubine is okay, such a big Buddha, the emperor must not forget her. When Gu Guiren comes out of the Buddhist hall, will the emperor surrounded by Yingyan still remember her?
As the Queen Mother expected, Concubine Rong was full of reluctance.
The Queen Mother looked solemn and asked: "Is the concubine willing to worship the Buddha with the mourning family?" β
If she dared to say that she didn't want to, she didn't have to stay in the position of concubine. is disrespectful and unfilial, which is enough for her to not be able to raise her head even if she has a child in the future.
Concubine Rong could only kneel down: "Of course the concubine is willing." β
As for Jiang Xian, no one thought to ask her if she was willing.
is as arrogant as Concubine Rong, and she also feels that the Queen Mother is mainly here to clean her up, and Gu Guiren is just an addition.
And it was this addition that actually got up and knelt together: "The concubine is willing to follow the concubine Niangniang and the queen mother to eat fasting and chant Buddha for a month, and pray for the emperor and queen." β
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Rong turned her head to look at her, and she was shocked, as if to say:
An add-on will also bite?
The matter of worshiping the Buddha, half a month has been in the sky, and she will not be flopped for a month, and how many new favorites will have to emerge in the harem, Concubine Rong can't even think about it.
The queen glared at her too.
Worship the Buddha for a month! She's going to be away from her side for a month!
The Queen Mother twisted the Buddha beads and smiled:
"It's good that Gu Guiren can have this heart."
The Queen Mother and Jiang Xian felt very good, but the Queen and Concubine Rong were very bad.
Because she was going to spend time with the Buddha, Jiang Xian returned to Yizhuxuan to clean up and went to Changle Palace.
On the way, I ran into Rong Guifei's steps.
Jiang Xian wanted to avoid it, but Concubine Rong beckoned her to come over, so she could only ask Empress An to accompany her.
Rong Guifei smiled: "You have been talking for a month, and you are not afraid that the emperor will forget you after you come out?" β
"This trip is indeed what the concubine wants."
Jiang Xian smiled sincerely.
β»
And after learning the news, the emperor of Qiankun Palace also felt very bad.
He had an unhappy quarrel with Jiang Xian last night, and he wanted to be cold to her for a few days, but now he was forcibly separated by his own mother and became unable to see her, and this unhappiness turned into longing, which made him reflect: Is I really too demanding of harem women?
Then, he instructed Liang Yuyin: "Who has the queen mother seen in the past two days?" Check to see if someone is chewing their tongue in front of her. β
I also heard that Jiang Xian offered to worship the Buddha for a month, and while she was pitiful for her beauty and kindness, she was also dissatisfied: "She doesn't want to think that she can't see me after accompanying her mother to worship the Buddha, and she doesn't want me at all." β
