Chapter 13: The foundation is unstable
In Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Yi sat on the red sandalwood floor, and there was a gilded copper stove on the table next to her, which was burning with the moon incense from the northwest, faintly revealing the sweetness of the heart.
It is Yifei's favorite smell.
It's a pity that such a good fragrance is not of much interest to the people present.
Chu Guiren indignantly told Concubine Yi what happened before she came, and the wanton arrangement of Lin Wanyi almost gave her the name of a red face and a curse.
"Niangniang, Na Lin promised to look like a flattering master, if it really makes His Majesty pampered, then wouldn't the concubine Niangniang be like a tiger!"
She hated Lin Wanyi, and she wished to borrow Concubine Yi's hand and immediately send Lin Wanyi to die.
But in fact, in the final analysis, Lin Wanyi doesn't have much hatred with her.
It's just about self-esteem.
When she was in the boudoir, she was a person who liked to be top-notch everywhere.
Especially her bright beauty, which can be said to be outstanding and beautiful in the northwest where military generals gather.
Now that she has entered the palace, her appearance is only middle and upper.
can be selected into the palace, beauty is just the foundation, especially compared with Lin Wanyi, she looks even more mediocre, which makes her unhappy.
"The concubine couldn't give birth by herself, so she found a young and beautiful one from home, and no one could see what she had in mind. Niangniang, although our three princes are the most favored by His Majesty today, if a series of princes are born, it will be diluted when this favor will be diluted, and if it affects the future of the three princes, it will not be good! ”
The Chu family is attached to the Northwest Hou, and the Chu nobles are naturally also attached to Concubine Yi.
These words fell in Concubine Yi's heart, she was playing with a jade roller in her hand, that thing was sent into the palace by her mother a few days ago, and it is said to have a miraculous effect on the face.
Although her facial features are ordinary, she is better than proper maintenance, so she will be a few years older than Concubine Lin next year, but she looks not much older than Chu Guifei at the moment.
"What you can see, Na Lin promises to see it too. Don't worry, the Lin family is wading deep, let's wait and see what happens. ”
"Mother's ......"
Concubine Yi has been in the palace for many years and knows a lot about the affairs of the concubines in each palace.
So what the situation is in Lin Xiangfu, it is generally understood.
She didn't even feel that she had to make a move, and Concubine Lin wouldn't let this Lin promise to climb too fast.
Otherwise, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers fighting, and since the sisters of the Lin family can consolidate their favors together, it is naturally possible to divide and compete for favors.
Thinking of this, she found it much more interesting.
Chu Guiren didn't know the reason, but felt that Concubine Yi's move was simply a return to the mountain.
didn't take advantage of Lin Wanyi's first entry into the palace to suppress her, wouldn't it be possible to wait until she became a favorite concubine to compete with her?
I was holding my breath in my heart, but I didn't dare to attack in front of Concubine Yi.
However, Concubine Yi glanced at Chu Guiren's angry face and knew what she was thinking.
"Okay, this is the Imperial City of Shengjing, not the Northwest Land, even if you want to clean up the Lin family, you have to take care of the Xiangfu behind it, her grandfather is now a hot figure in the court, offending the Lin family, have you ever thought that the Chu family can afford it?"
Chu Guiren was beaten by Concubine Yi, and his arrogance went down a lot.
"Didn't you say that she was not favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"No matter how unfavored, it is also a palace in the name of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she and the Prime Minister's Mansion are also both prosperous and loss-oriented, understand?"
"The concubine knows."
"It's not enough to just know, don't make trouble. At present, your foundation in the palace is not stable, and it is important to think that you will be more favored by Your Majesty, don't pick up the watermelon and lose the sesame seeds. ”
As soon as Concubine Yi said this, Chu Guiren reacted.
Lin Wanyi is favored again, and now it is just a small promise, she is a nobleman, if she can be promoted to another one, she will be a concubine.
Then she can live in the main hall of Yihua Palace.
Thinking of the brilliance of the main hall of Yihua Palace, her disgust for Lin Wanyi seemed less important.
"Concubine, thank you for your guidance!"
Seeing that she was not as arrogant as she was just now, Concubine Yi put away her fierce temperament, talked and laughed with her, and chatted about some interesting things in the northwest.
Chu Guiren didn't know at the moment that the two who were in the same palace with her were chatting and amusing in the spring-filled imperial garden.
"My sister also knows that I was born in Huaiyang County, south of the Yangtze River, and I can see all kinds of flowers most of the year, but there are many flowers in this imperial garden, I really haven't seen them before."
At any point, it is a sea of flowers.
The white flowers have a light egg yolk in the center and orange in the middle, and they are very beautiful when they are in full bloom.
"This is a pink hibiscus from the Western Regions, I have seen two plants in my grandmother's house, and I heard that they are worth a lot."
"From the Western Regions?"
"Well, some caravans from the Western Regions will bring local flower seeds, and there are also masters of cultivating flowers in Shengjing City, so this is why this pink hibiscus appeared."
"Pink Hibiscus? Sister, don't say it, if you look closely, it is indeed a little similar to the hibiscus we see on weekdays. ”
"I heard that there are several colors of this pink hibiscus, but the palace is respected for bright yellow, so the introduced pink hibiscus is also mixed with some yellow."
"I see, my sister is well-informed, and my sister admires it!"
Lin Wanyi smiled, it was just a flower and plant, so much so that it was not well-known.
It's just that I can't help but think of the five years when I followed my grandfather and two uncles to travel through the mountains and rivers, and I really felt a little like I was separated from the world.
"If my sister doesn't see me, call me Lanchun in the future, this is my maiden name."
"Lan Chun?"
"Well, I was born at the end of March, and my father thought of it when he chose the name because of the spring colors in the yard, which is probably because of the name, so I have loved visiting the garden since I was a child."
"Isn't your birthday over?"
It's almost mid-April now, so it's over.
I saw that Namu nodded in agreement, with some helplessness in his tone.
"In the past, at home, I was always accompanied by my parents on my birthday, but now on this big day, there are only me and the maid Ying'er."
Women's and the ritual is a very important ceremony in Dawei.
Of course, the rich and noble have the methods of the rich and noble, and the ordinary people have the methods of the ordinary people.
It's just that the scene where Mu promised to do this is a little bleak.
Not to mention spending his fifteenth birthday alone in the palace, he will not be able to leave this high wall for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi felt that she was a little pitiful.
So he smiled lightly and comforted her.
"If my sister doesn't dislike it, you can go back to the left hall with me later to finish eating longevity noodles, Chunqi's girl has the best skills, let her make you a bowl."
