Chapter 203
Concubine Rong Guifei told the eldest prince that before she went to make up, she actually had makeup on her face.
No matter how tired the women of the family are, after getting up and freshening up every day, they must put on makeup. Even if you don't see outsiders, you won't face the sky. It's just that Concubine Rong is timid, so she went back to the house and asked Qiuyun to draw herself a heavy makeup that can accept the congratulations of ten thousand women to hide the cowardice in her heart.
Heavy makeup is her protective color, and no one can say that she has a bad complexion.
The haggard under her eyes was covered by snow-white powder, and her lips were pursed over her lips, which was the only red on her body.
Then put on the most gorgeous clothes.
The concubine stepped forward, and the idlers retreated.
When she decorated herself layer by layer, Concubine Rong felt that she was no longer a living person, and her precious costumes became one, she symbolized the supreme favor and dignity of the harem in addition to the queen, and countless people envied her and wanted to be her.
But the moment she saw Jiang Xian come out, Concubine Rong found that her makeup could cover the dark circles under her eyes, but she couldn't cover the red eye sockets and the tip of her nose. Her red lips were tightly curled into a thin line of pretended fortitude, and in the blink of an eye, hot tears flowed down.
And no matter how good the ancient fat powder is, it is not waterproof.
Concubine Rong knew this, she expected that she was about to make a fool of herself, and she couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and at the same time, accompanied by the sense of peace of mind of "It turns out that Concubine Shu also has this palace in her heart", it was mixed into a feeling that made her at a loss, she could only breathe in a muffled voice:
"Since you can go out on the ground, why don't you come to Zhaoyang Palace to find this palace?"
Mama Qin behind Jiang Xian was dumbfounded.
Mama Qin was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Jiang Xian, and she would not leave until she finished her confinement, and she had heard that the concubine was arrogant and domineering, and when she saw it today, it was really better to be famous than to meet - I was a hundred times more unreasonable than rumored!
Afraid that Concubine Rong would use this to punish Concubine Qin and said, "Concubine Niangniang misunderstood, Concubine Niangniang has not finished her confinement yet, it stands to reason that the door of the house should not come out, I am afraid that I will have a headache when I see the wind, I beg my mother to forgive me."
Concubine Rong frowned: "Since this is the case, why don't you help Concubine Shu in?!"
"It's not so squeamish, let's go in together."
Jiang Xian listened, smiled as usual, and took the initiative to hold her arm. Rong Guifei had too much jewelry on her, and the sound of gold and jade colliding with her body when she took a step reminded her of the Christmas tree she saw in the mall every Christmas.
"Who's with you, let's."
"Sister Guifei and I are us."
γβ¦β¦γ
Sincerity is the nirvana to treat tsundere, Rong Guifei turned her face away and stopped talking, but Mama Qin found that Guifei Niangniang was visibly in a much better mood with the naked eye.
The noble master in the harem not only walks slowly, but also has to be carried by others.
This time, Concubine Rong walked very fast.
Jiang Xian looked at her sideways: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Don't take your body seriously, when you fall into a head disease like the queen, this palace doesn't care about you."
After Jiang Xian asked, she was glared at by Concubine Rong fiercely.
-----------------
The first thing Concubine Rong did when she entered the house was to go to the side hall to make up her makeup.
The side where no one lives is often cleaned and dusted, so I go to where Chen Guiren usually lives. When Concubine Rong came, Chen Guiren could only give up his position, and he could no longer sleep on the couch, so he had to get up and say hello to the concubine.
"Yo, Chen promises, get up."
"Xie Guifei Niangniang," Chen Guiren couldn't help but add when he got up, "Niangniang is afraid that she has forgotten that the concubine is already a nobleman."
"Is there a difference between a noble person and a permanent being?"
"Yes," Chen Guiren replied seriously, "I promised that I could only eat five chickens a month, and I could eat eight chickens, and I could also have two taels of sugar." After that, he sucked a little.
Concubine Rong was quiet and ordered, "Divide half of the dim sum brought from Zhaoyang Palace with Chen Guiren, you go to the side to eat, and don't disturb the palace and talk to Concubine Shu later."
"Okay mother, no problem mother!"
Chen Guiren retreated happily.
In the eyes of outsiders,
Concubine Rong visited Bihua Palace, and Concubine Shu greeted her personally, which should be a touching scene of reunion after a long absence. But in fact, it was two lone wolves who were not good at making friends, sitting politely and awkwardly, relative to each other speechless.
"The concubine came to me, but did she have to wait for me to speak?"
"Hongu can't look for you if it's okay? Or are you not welcome to Hongu?"
Jiang Xian sighed leisurely.
In the harem, she was familiar with two women, the queen and the concubine.
Communicating with the queen is very efficient and trouble-free, and she is the fairy boss she dreams of.
and the concubine, it is the other extreme, which is more difficult than the emperor.
Jiang Xian not only thought so, but she also said it truthfully, hearing Jiang Xian say that it was difficult to communicate with her as well as the queen, Concubine Rong was red with anger, and was about to get up and break up unhappily, but heard Jiang Xian answer: "Then I figured it out, this is because the queen and I are partners, and we have a sympathetic comradeship from the colleagues we work with, and you are my best friend."
Rong Guifei sat back again: "Hmph."
In fact, Jiang Xian originally wanted to talk about friends.
I just felt that these two words were a bit dry, and I was afraid that Concubine Rong would misunderstand, so I was promoted to another level.
I just don't know, Concubine Rong is not satisfied with this statement.
Jiang Xian raised her eyes to look at her, and found that her face was red and she didn't speak, and only after a moment did she say, "This palace is closer to you than the queen?"
Jiang Xian nodded.
"Since I have what you said, this palace doesn't care about a lot of rumors recently," Concubine Rong held the stove and paused, and finally a sad look appeared between her eyebrows: "The affairs of the previous dynasty, this palace can't control it...... It's not that he hasn't tried, he can't do it, and he made the emperor angry and left the palace, and he said a lot of irreparable things in his anger, and he probably won't see the palace again."
When mentioning the emperor, she did not cry.
A chill passed through her eyes, as if the surface of a frozen lake was quietly cracking in the harsh winter.
"These days, this palace is afraid that something will happen at home, that it will not be able to save the lives of my father and brother, and that you and I will listen to the villain and never communicate again."
Concubine Rong raised her eyes to look at her, and forcibly endured the surging tears, and endured it too hard, and the muscles in her cheeks couldn't help spasming: "Even if you don't want this palace, what's the point of living in the harem, you can only pass on those nobles who are always calling to pass the time."
The peace of the harem depends on the concubine.
Concubine Rong rarely revealed her heart, and after speaking, she was too ashamed and kept silent, and the pearls all over her body reflected the brilliance of dazzling people's eyes under the candlelight.
The palace is too big.
Walking from Bihua Palace to Zhaoyang Palace, the road is so long and cold, and you will be separated if you are not careful.
"No, the friendship between the two of us can not be affected by some gossip. Didn't you always protect me before? Whoever says I'm bad in front of you, you'll be slapped in the face, and I'll treat you as you treat me."
The next morning, Concubine Rong, who had been out of the door, could no longer go to Jianzhang Palace to ask for peace on the grounds of illness.
The other concubines thought that they would see a noble concubine with a solemn expression and a haggard complexion, but although Rong Guifei's complexion was not good, it was no different from the past, and she did not deliberately dress up luxuriously to show her identity.
But she didn't speak, and the palace concubine who was lower than her didn't take the initiative to talk to her.
Except for the queen, the only person present who was qualified to talk was Concubine Zhang Xian.
But Concubine Zhang Xian is just qualified, not enough.
Finally, Guo Xiaoyi couldn't hold back and fired the first shot: "I heard that the first thing the concubine did after recovering from her illness yesterday was to go to Bihua Palace, the friendship between the concubine and the concubine is not affected by external objects, and the concubine is envious."
Translate this:
The two of you have beaten out the dog's brains in the previous dynasty, and it doesn't prevent you from being in the harem and Hemeimei, it's really amazing.
The others couldn't help but hold their breath.
Whoever has been favored and fallen out of favor in the harem has to listen to some yin and yang weird words, this is a convention, but no one thought that one day, Concubine Rong could also have this "treatment", not only lamenting the rotation of feng shui, but also marveling that there are really artificial
With a momentary speed in his mouth, he dared to jump in front of the concubine.
Hearing this, Concubine Rong was very surprised to give her a look: "Guo Xiaoyi has heard enough things, they all say that you can see far only by standing tall, your eyes are only the size of sesame seeds as your position, and you can see them broadly, which is good."
Guo Xiaoyi's eyes are smaller.
She particularly minded this, it seemed that she looked petty and childish, but she was attacked by Rong Guifei in front of everyone, and she was very hurt when she boarded. Lu Ronghua next to him pretended to dissuade: "Oh, concubine Niangniang, how can you expose the scolding? Guo Xiaoyi's eyes are not big, but they are also different from each other."
The beauty that is different from her mouth is not beautiful.
Lu Ronghua didn't like Concubine Rong or Guo Xiaoyi, so the two of them happened to be together.
"I'm just telling the truth, is that also called swearing? But then again, when I scold people, I will expose the shortcomings, and I will only slap people in the face......
Concubine Rong tilted her head, and the ice-clear jade beads on her ears flickered, making her even more delicate, and she smiled coldly: "Lu Ronghua should have also learned this."
Many years ago, when Lu Ronghua was caught by Concubine Rong in the Imperial Garden, he stiffened his mouth twice, and he was slapped five times, and his cheeks were swollen. Lu Ronghua regarded this matter as a great shame and rarely talked about it.
At this time, she was suddenly shortened, and her cheeks burned sharply red.
Guo Xiaoyi felt that this time was different from the past, so she didn't stop there, but laughed: "The concubine has a broad vision, and her father and brother are also good at teaching her. It is a blessing for my father to be able to serve the emperor in the previous dynasty and win his trust."
Hearing this, Concubine Rong's face flashed with annoyance.
In the "Reverse Faction", Guo Ruike is the main force, and nearly half of the excerpts of the impeachment of the Rong family came from his hands, and he didn't do anything every day, so he was worried about writing small essays - Guo Xiaoyi thought that the Jiang family and the Rong family were opposed in the previous dynasty, but in fact, Jiang Yi just did his duty and never deliberately attacked anyone.
After all, his character card is set as a genius general.
The genius general only looks forward to the next conquest, and does not care whose merits are replaced by it.
"Speaking of which, the concubine Niangniang invited An so early this time, I am afraid that she has also changed the bad habit of inviting An Ai to be late before, and learned from the concubine Niangniang."
Jiang Xian, she is never late, nor does she leave early.
Concubine Rong had already guessed that someone would talk to her about Concubine Shu, but she was still very unhappy when she heard it.
At this moment, the eunuch of Jianzhang Palace took a roll call:
"The lady is hereβ"
The queen, who had been in the fugue for too much, came back to her senses and showed a slight surprise: "Lady? Aren't you still out of confinement? It should be well kept in the palace."
"The concubine stayed too boring in her own palace, and since her body was already safe, and she had also been sent to the imperial doctor to see her, she begged the emperor to leave the confinement early, and came to the queen early to ask for peace."
Jiang Xian saluted, but before the ceremony was finished, she was stopped by the queen: "Sit, it's still not appropriate to go out of confinement early, the emperor is too indulgent to you, wait and drink the tonic in Jianzhang Palace before going back."
The queen rarely complained about the emperor's decision.
If Xie Che could hear it, he must have felt that he was greatly wronged.
He also felt that Xian'er should sit for a few more days, if he liked to sit, he would not worry about sitting for half a year, but she begged herself, and he softened his heart and agreed. At that time, Jiang Xian said that she had not gone to the queen to ask for peace for so long after giving birth and being confined, and her conscience was very disturbed.
What Xie Che didn't know was that his concubine was going to support another concubine.
"Thank you for your care,"
Jiang Xian was blessed again, so she sat next to Concubine Rong and smiled lightly: "If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that Guo Xiaoyi loved me so much."
Guo Xiaoyi's face was humble: "The concubine has admired the concubine for a long time."
"Come on, no need," seeing her expression freeze, Jiang Xian continued, "I am different from you, and I feel very annoyed when you mention it vigorously. If you don't have anything important to do, don't talk about me again."
The entire Jianzhang Palace let out all kinds of suppressed chuckles.
It is really uncommon to sow discord and be caught by the main owner, and to be slapped in the face in person
οΌ
Guo Xiaoyi: "The concubine is only, the concubine is just ......"
"Okay, the concubine and the concubine get along harmoniously, it's their business, it's not Guo Xiaoyi's turn for you to talk more. Hongu was relieved to see that the two of them were in good health."
Empress Qing Lingling's gaze swept over, and everyone was silent.
Before, one was confined, the other was autistic, and the palace affairs all pressed on her, which made the queen's already thin body two pounds lighter, and now the two of them have released their previous suspicions...... No matter what, I can share her worries again!
The matter seems to end with the two of them agreeing.
For Rong Guifei, the matter is far from over.
Ten years later, Rong Zhenhai and Rong Xuetao's charges were compiled into a book, the two were cut to prison together, and the concubine knelt down in front of the Qiankun Palace to plead.
The concubine asked to see the emperor, and it stands to reason that the palace maid should ask to see him. Liang Yuyin went to pass the word to the emperor, and with the emperor's permission, the concubines could come. It's not that I'm too lazy to go in person, it's a courtesy.
The emperor finally relented, and didn't let the concubine kneel for too long, so he passed her in.
What the two emperors and concubines talked about, outsiders don't know.
The emperor took care of the concubine's face and forbade the subordinates of Qiankun Palace to talk about this matter, but what else could they talk about? I think it's just to plead for the Rong family.
The concubine guessed well, Concubine Rong took out all the favors in the past to beg, and the emperor only sighed after being angry, and only gave eight words-
Capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are unforgivable.
When Concubine Rong walked out of the Qiankun Palace with tears in her eyes, she thought that she was able to enter the palace because of her family background, and now she has broken off her relationship with the emperor, also because of her mother's family, there is no cause and effect in the world that does not need to be resolved.
