Chapter 10: Be the first to strike
Chu Guiren's hand with red and vermilion nails gently picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed it, his face calm for a while.
The tea was good, but not enough to excite her.
This kind of thing is in the northwest, and it can't compare to the excitement of soul hunting wine.
It's just that the person on the seat is a noble concubine, and she, a noble person who has just entered the palace, is not good at playing tricks in person.
His eyes wandered, and he looked towards the last seat opposite, and saw Lin Wanyi, and the vinegar in his heart suddenly came up.
He said unbearably in the direction of Lin Wanyi.
"Your Majesty has a new fairy-like promise, I think it's this Sister Lin. Sure enough, the sisters in the six palaces are compared to you. ”
After speaking, he smiled, but his eyes were full of boundless indifference and hostility.
Here it comes!
As expected, this grace will become the target of public criticism.
Lin Wanyi's previous thoughts were to try not to be too prominent, and if she could, she would mix up, but she didn't want to, and the other party provoked her before she sat down for a quarter of an hour.
If she thinks in the past, she will naturally avoid it.
But now that she is in the palace, it is the first time she has seen her, and if she is stepped on, it will be difficult to turn over in the future.
If anyone can come to her to show off their might, how will they have a peaceful birthday in the future?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Guifei on the seat.
I saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was watching cats and dogs play funny, but the warning in her eyes was accurately transmitted to Lin Wanyi.
What she represents is the face of the Prime Minister and Concubine Lin, even if it is just a mere promise, it is not a promise that can be practiced.
With Lin Guifei as the confidence, Lin Wanyi has a lot less respect.
Therefore, looking up at the Chu nobleman who had just been yin and yang, he replied to her with three points of detachment and six points of generosity in his tone.
"Thank you sister for your praise, but no one in these six palaces knows that the concubine Niangniang is captivating the country and the city, and the concubine Pu Liu is not daring to compare."
In a word, I picked myself out.
One praised Lin Guifei, and the other alluded to Chu Guiren's lack of eyes.
The meaning of the words is that the people present are all human spirits who are mixed in the harem, and who doesn't understand the truth.
Chu Guiren was so excited by her words that he almost broke the teacup in his hand.
When he looked at Lin Wanyi again, there was no hiding in his eyes, and he put his disgust on the bright side.
"Sister Lin really has a clever mouth, and in a few words, I offended the concubine Niangniang, who knows that I am just praising my sister's good looks, and those who don't know think that I have disrespect for the concubine. Just entered the palace to sow discord, my sister is really a good skill! ”
Not reluctant, has always been the style of Chu Guiren.
In the northwest, her father is the general of Huwei, and he is the first fierce general under the Northwest Hou.
just entered the palace, this is also Niangniang, that is also Niangniang's, dwarves everywhere, where can she stand this idleness.
Therefore, if you don't look for someone to vent your anger, you are only afraid that you will get sick if you are bored.
The contempt in his eyes was fully revealed, and the rest of the palace concubines either watched the excitement or listened to the wind.
Let this stupid Chu Guiren take the lead first, so that they can take a look, what is the means of this new Lin who has entered the palace? Or is it the backing behind it?
Tremble in the balance.
At this moment, if Lin Wanyi was soft-hearted, he was afraid that he would be nailed to death by Chu Guiren's words.
There is no room for cowardly people in the palace, and she glanced around at the palace concubines, what do they mean, Lin Wanyi knows it.
"My sister misunderstood, the concubine has never had such a thought. When the concubine was still at home, she often heard her grandmother and second aunt mention this matter, so she would keep it in mind. As for what my sister complained, you and I have no grievances, and it is the first time we have met, and it is too late for the concubine to be harmonious with you, how can you sow discord? ”
The backer is getting bigger and bigger, and in one sentence, the matter of praising the appearance of the concubine is pushed to the emperor and the lord of Rongkang.
They can't afford to offend Chu Guiren, so even if she gritted her teeth again, she could only swallow this breath indignantly.
said word by word to Lin Wanyi.
"That's it, but I've thought too much about it, sister."
"My sister is just talking fast for a while, and she has no intention of thinking about it. The concubine is the most kind-hearted, and she will not blame her sister, but the concubine is young and ignorant, which makes the noble sister angry, and asks the concubine to punish her. ”
After speaking, he bowed down to Lin Guifei, his words were calm, but with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing that she was so sincere and calm, if Chu Guiren didn't kneel down, he was afraid that the charge of contempt for the concubine would be deducted.
So no matter how reluctant you are, you have to bow your head.
turned to Lin Guifei, who was sitting up, and also bowed, and her tone was much diluted compared to the pressing step just now.
"Forgive me, the concubine is silent."
reversed the situation in just a few words, not only made a clean choice, but also forced Chu Guiren to bow his head and admit his mistakes, which is really amazing!
Lin Guifei looked at the well-behaved confessions of the two below, and her heart was both happy and worried.
This Chu nobleman relied on his illustrious family background, and he was young and beautiful, and he had already offended many people in the month he entered the palace.
was defeated under Lin Wanyi's clever mouth, but he was relieved.
But Lin Wanyi's inconspicuous use of strength made Lin Guifei a little jealous.
Smart and beautiful, support such a person to take the position, I am afraid that I will make enemies for myself in the future.
But now that the concubines are here, if she doesn't protect Lin Wanyi, it will make people guess that the people in their prime minister's mansion are detached, go against her original intentions, and add some trouble, so they have to continue.
So, he said in a gentle tone.
"It's all in a hurry, the two sisters don't need to think about it, this palace is not the small-minded person, let's get up."
"Xie Niangniang."
"The concubine thanked the mother for her grace."
Lin Guifei is still one step away from winning the throne and becoming the most noble woman in the harem and even the world, so the virtue of pretending to be naturally will not be less.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately asked Qin He to take some palace flowers out and divert the topic just now.
"It's the good weather in April now, and yesterday the people of the Inner Court Division sent these palace flowers, and it's appropriate for the palace to look at it, and the sisters can see if they like it."
After that, let the palace maids stand in front of the concubines with plates and let them choose.
The palace flower is made of silk cloth, not only the flower shape is realistic, but also the texture and stamen of the flower should be handled very vividly, and I think it is a real flower from a distance.
Dawei has the custom of wearing hairpins, and in the early years, freshly picked flowers were worn on the sideburns to show off their appearance.
