Chapter 632: Wife and Concubine
In the early morning, the sky is pale, a few wisps of cold mist swirl around the plum red, and when the eaves lamp is dimmed, the three-point frost spreads the white steps.
The inner hall of the main courtyard of the Jin Palace, the candle is bright and brilliant, and in the copper furnace of the four tripod carvings, the charcoal fire is warm.
Inside and outside the house, it was like two times cold and warm.
Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the hall here has never been "fully used", and today it is finally a lively scene of the hostess meeting Ji Mei.
After the ceremony, in addition to Tinger, He Ye's five concubines with rank could finally raise their eyelids slightly and look at the princess seated carefully.
The skin does not need to be white, that is, if it is like a jade streamer, which is used to use Shi Zhu, it is just like Zezhi powder; Dai Luo is like a sky but stretched, Feng Shaosheng is more tactful, not smiling, one side of the pear vortex is shallow, only to give birth to Gu Pan, the two autumn water is deep.
Even Qin Ji, who had seen Eleven Niang several times, couldn't help but be surprised, the quiet but naΓ―ve girl in her memory didn't know when she had shown the appearance of an open-air person. Ren Yuhua, who had only seen the princess earlier, was even more shocked, Liu Shiniang at that time, the boudoir was dressed up, nothing more than extraordinarily delicate eyebrows, and she couldn't see the elegance of the peerless, and today's Princess Jin ......
Dressed in red clothes and gold embroidery, hair accessories with boe sideburns and emeralds, this is a common wear for noble women, but often with heavy makeup to match, in order to show grace and luxury, but often vulgar, but the princess on the seat, obviously just lightly described the phoenix, light cherry lips, don't say that the bearing makes people ashamed of themselves, the beautiful makeup and the gorgeous wear are not inconsistent, and even have a different style.
The fingers in the long sleeves tightened slightly, and Ren lowered his eyelids and sat upright.
The people under the seat were silently looking, and the people on the seat were also looking around slightly.
Eleven Niang got a glimpse of the first and fourth mothers' courtesy, sitting, and accepting gifts, this series of expressions and behaviors.
The most beautiful face should be pushed by Ren's, quiet and gentle, the first choice is Xie's, and the Yuan family is not allowed to fly and be domineering - her nostrils have always been facing the sky...... As for the Qi family, he was obviously born heroic, and he seemed to be quite curious about himself, but he was deliberately cautious, and he looked contradictory and a little sneaky, but it was extremely complicated.
There is also Qin Ji, Eleven Niang really doesn't know what she thinks, although she is also wearing a big-sleeved brocade robe, it is half-new and not old, and the hair accessories are also a little simple, holding her breath and concentrating, her serious face, and the breath of "don't get close to the living" emanates from her bones, she looks like a resentful woman at first glance, but she is still a resentful woman when you look closely.
But the unfavored situation is undoubtedly revealed, do you think that in this way, you will not become the target of public criticism?
In addition to herself, the princess, but she is the highest rank, and the queen mother pays special attention to her, how can she be idle?
In the distant memory, the image of the bright and upright tiger girl seems to be even more blurred.
Eleven Niang inevitably felt a pity, she couldn't understand how much Qin Ji's distorted mind had been tortured before she was willing to choose this self-righteous utilitarian path, and even wiped out her innate arrogance and lived such a aggrieved life.
It must be known that in this world, how many people are still struggling with life and death, and Qin Ji, at least brocade clothes and jade food, at least the palm beads of her relatives, the so-called ordeal she experienced is simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of Eleven Niang, so there is no sympathy, and even regret is very weak.
Therefore, Shi Niang acted very decisively according to the plan, and wanted to show a different view of the Qin family.
"Not long after I entered the palace, I also knew that many people were not as familiar as Ah Qin, and the Queen Mother had another order, when I arrived in Jinyang, I had to be distracted from the affairs of governance, and how many internal affairs of the palace still needed Ah Qin to do it for me." For many concubines in He Ye's mansion, Eleven Niang is naturally well-known, but she has no intention of making false promises with some people, so she only nicknames her surname.
Qin Ji's heart sank, and the auxiliary middle feed seemed to be a beautiful difference, but with so many "jackals, tigers and leopards" on his side, how could he guarantee that there would be no mistakes? Concubine Liu's hand undoubtedly put her on the cusp.
hurriedly and humbly: "The concubine is stupid, although she entered the palace before the princess, but she did not take over the internal affairs, many matters were taken care of by General Manager Jiang in the past, and the concubine is afraid that she will not be able to do it." β
Eleven Niang's smile did not decrease: "Jiang Nei will also assist Ah Qin in the future, and I will also find you a helper." Then he smiled at Ting and said: "Sixth sister, the eldest mother and the grandmother both praise you for your ability to be a director, and in the future, I will rest assured that all the affairs of the palace will be handed over to Ah Qin and the sixth sister." β
Of course, Ting will not shirk: "The princess has an order, dare not obey?" β
Saying this, Qin Ji was inconvenient to shirk, but his face was very ugly.
Eleven Niang didn't care about how she guessed in her heart, at least handing over the trivial matters of housekeeping to Ting and Qin's would not hinder He Ye, this was her first goal, of course, she had already communicated with He Ye, and the two reached an agreement, if Qin Ji blindly pursued the advantages and avoided the disadvantages, it would just make He Ye more tired of her, and it would not be harmful for Eleven Niang.
Her battlefield has never been in the palace, where wives and concubines compete for favor.
Then he said another thing: "When Si Tiantai chooses an auspicious day, His Royal Highness will set off, but there are a lot of trivia, and it can't be said to go for a while, so the sixth sister and I will go to the domain with His Royal Highness first, and Ah Qin needs to be responsible for the aftermath, take care of many trivial affairs, and after the New Year, I will go to Jinyang with all my wives." β
At this moment, without waiting for Qin Ji to express his objections, the Yuan clan broke out first: "Why? The princess is high, and the concubine does not dare to beak when she walks with Her Royal Highness, but below the princess, except for the widows, the rest are all concubines, why can the Liu maidens accompany them, and we will lag behind along with the widows? The princess is unfair! β
Ren secretly rejoiced in his heart: Sure enough, this stupid man couldn't hold it back, so he jumped out at this time and went to Taiyuan for a long time, how many opportunities did he have to get close to King Jin? Let's see how Concubine Liu responds.
Eleven Niang was looking at Yuan's family, and her smile gradually faded: "What does Yuan think it should be?" β
"Either we all go together, or Liu Mei people will have to lag behind with us!" Yuan Shi glared at a pair of almond eyes and glanced at the other three: "Do you think what I said makes sense?" β
Three wives: ......
Qi simply lowered her eyes, as if she herself was not included in the "you".
Ting also lowered her eyes, noncommittal.
Qin Ji's eyes never left the square inch under his knees.
Ren's heart is not good, and he secretly complains that Yuan's is still a little clever, and she still knows how to win over others to help her, but how can she fall for it? She thought of a countermeasure in a moment, but before she could speak, she was preempted by the Xie family.
"The concubine body obeys the arrangement of His Royal Highness and the princess."
Yuan snorted coldly: "It's useless to listen to any number of people, I'm just not convinced, and the princess is too partial to her own people.
Why should the Liu family live in the same position as me, first, we can intervene in our hands, and second, we can walk with Your Highness. β
Ren finally interjected: "Although they are all in the position of concubines, since they are ordered by the princess, the concubines and others should obey them." β
"The Jin Palace's Mansion is not a princess who can cover the sky with one hand, there are always rules of etiquette." The Yuan clan is quite lonely and brave, and he is very golden.
Ren also lowered his eyes.
It's good to make trouble, and only by watching coldly can you gain insight into whether the princess is really as resourceful as rumored.
Eleven Niang stared at the Yuan clan with her nostrils facing the sky for a long moment, and Fang smiled slightly: "If Ah Yuan has objections, then I can only discuss with His Highness separately." β
How easy it was to compromise?
Not to mention that Ren's heart was shocked, even Qi, who had been sitting on the wall and watching, couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at the princess, there seemed to be disappointment in his eyes.
Shi Niang has been secretly paying attention to everyone's expressions, naturally she didn't miss this look, and she couldn't help but wonder, it seems that as Shishilang said, the Qi family is indeed a little unbelievable.
She raised her hand and rubbed her brows, as if she was a little tired: "Let's disperse, the next few days will not be busy, and you don't need to come to say hello again." "I'll leave my seat first.
Ren Yuhua returned to his residence, and couldn't wait to say hello to the nurse on this first day, wanting to exchange experiences.
But before the nurse could express her opinion, after Mao Lin walked around, he reported another "terrifying news": "The princess actually took ginseng and other things to visit Hu Niangzi in person, and said yes...... said that he was about to leave Beijing, if Hu Niangzi was unwell, wouldn't he be able to accompany him, and he was busy asking a good doctor to diagnose Hu Niangzi. β
It is difficult to hide the disdain of the nurse: "According to the old slave, the princess is also too friendly, what is resourceful, it is obviously a fallacy!" It's just a matter of treating the Qin family well, that's because the queen mother advised, but that Liu Meiren, the princess could even bear her to compete for favor, and also promoted her in public, the Yuan family provoked, and the princess even swallowed her anger, what is even funnier is that Hu family, what discomfort, it is clear that it is competing for favor, and the princess actually went to visit in person, it is really ridiculous! β
But it was precisely because of what Maolin did that Ren was enlightened all of a sudden.
In front of Maolin, he warned the nurse: "Hugh has to talk nonsense, this shows the princess's means, Ah Yuan, wait and see, the Yuan family will be embarrassed!" β
