Chapter 23: Near gaffe
"Yo, isn't this a new Rong Meiren, it's really rare, you're here in person?"
This sentence is really yin and yang, Hengyue raised her eyes to see that it was Lan Concubine.
Concubine Lan is the concubine who is the best friend of the queen on the surface, but Hengyue should not know about it at this time.
She only bowed her head and saluted, but did not salute.
At this time, the queen also came out, and Hengyue looked at everyone's eyes, walked over and respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times.
"Okay, it's hard for you to serve the emperor, get up."
The queen didn't want to admit that the moment she saw Hengyue, she almost lost her temper.
Even her fingers were tightly pinched into her palms, and the queen almost couldn't stabilize her voice, so she only said a few words.
Hengyue didn't know what happened when the people who had just served in the past came to visit the queen, but this time was no different from the previous life.
At this time, she got up, cautiously took the tea cup in the hand of the palace maid on the side, and knelt down again to salute the queen.
But the queen did not move.
She was still looking at Hengyue's face.
She couldn't believe that there were two people in this world who looked so alike.
It's just like that person.
Rui Min saw Hengyue kneeling for a long time, afraid that the other party would think that the queen was giving her a horse, so she coughed lightly and asked with concern: "The master feels a headache when he gets up early, but he is still uncomfortable at this time?" ”
"Ah, it's better, it's just ......" The queen was reminded and took Hengyue's teacup, "Look at this palace, I didn't sleep well last night, and I was in a trance for a while, forgetting that you still want to serve tea." ”
After speaking, she drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp, put it aside with a smile, and wanted to reach out to help Hengyue, "This palace is not deliberately embarrassing you, Rong Meiren don't think too much." ”
"The concubine understands." Hengyue said in a low voice.
Concubine Lan snorted lightly: "How is the queen mother, who doesn't know about this harem?" is also those who have no heart, dare to say that the queen will make things difficult. ”
She didn't name her, Hengyue didn't know what to do, she just stood in the distance with her head down.
"Okay, you're tired too, don't stand all the time." The queen said, and personally introduced her, "Here is a good concubine, Concubine Jing...... It's a virtuous concubine over there, and the concubine ......"
Hengyue and his party went to salute one by one.
There are not many high-ranking concubines in Shangguan Zheng's harem, and now there are only virtuous concubines and good concubines on the concubine position, and there are five people on the concubine position, in addition to the biological mothers of the two princesses, there are also the main concubines in the Zhu Xunyan Palace, as well as the concubines and the newcomers in this year's draft.
Further down, there are more than ten Jieyu beauties, and the talented people under the beauties, such as Baolin, etc., because their status is too low, they can only leave by themselves after kneeling to the queen outside the Kunning Palace every day.
So as the lowest ranking beauty in the hall, Hengyue saluted one by one, until the place closest to the door, and finally got an embroidered stool to sit on.
"The queen mother has been working on the emperor's Halloween recently, but she is too tired?" Lan Concubine asked.
The queen smiled: "It's okay, Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang have helped the palace a lot." It's just that last night the wind was strong, and the branches and leaves were blowing, and the main palace didn't sleep well. ”
"Yes, the wind in the harem has not been small these days, and I'm afraid that many people are cold in their hearts."
Concubine Liang chuckled and said, "What about Sister Shu?" Have you had a good rest lately? ”
Hengyue bowed her head and was silent, pretending that she didn't hear Concubine Liang pointing at her at all.
Concubine Shu's complexion is indeed not good, even if she wears makeup, she can see that she is haggard.
She smiled reluctantly: "The concubine sleeps...... OK. ”
"Oh? Hehe, that's fine. Concubine Liang smiled.
Lan Concubine looked at Hengyue from afar, I don't know what mood she was in, and said sourly: "Don't you want to come to Rong Meiren to sleep these days?" ”
Hengyue lowered her eyes and got up and said, "If you go back to Concubine Lan's mother, the concubine is sleeping fine." ”
"Hmph, can Daming Palace not be able to sleep?" A slightly snarky female voice rang out.
Before Hengyue could find out who it was, the queen had already frowned and reprimanded: "Why is Ji Jieyu so uncultivated?" Daming Palace or can you talk about it at will? ”
Ji Jieyu stood up with some trepidation and said, "Concubines, concubines are just impulsive, concubines don't mean that." ”
"Impulsive, and not afraid of losing his manners in front of the emperor." Concubine Xian spoke for the first time, and no one expected that she would actually help Hengyue speak.
She glanced at Ji Jieyu a few times, and suddenly smiled, "Ji Jieyu hasn't seen the emperor for a while, right?" No wonder he is so open-mouthed. ”
"Concubine......" Ji Jieyu's face turned red, but it wasn't worth saying anything.
"Okay, let's all disperse if we have nothing to do today." The queen pressed her forehead, still very uncomfortable, "Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang stay, and the list of the Halloween Festival will bother you to take a look." ”
The two concubines should be in unison, Hengyue lowered her head and walked out with the crowd.
The concubines scattered away, but Cheng Concubine walked beside Hengyue as if inadvertently.
Hengyue saw that it was her, and bowed slightly: "Cheng Concubine Niangniang." ”
"Well, Rong Meiren is such a good blessing, this palace is really envious." Cheng Concubine changed her threatening and persecutive appearance that day, and was very gentle, "This palace wants to invite Rong Meiren to sit with me, how about it?" ”
Before Heng Yue could say anything, she saw a few little eunuchs running not far away.
The one at the head is the apprentice Xiao Dengzi in the article.
He is not a face, and the concubines also know him, and when they see him coming, everyone on this road unconsciously stops.
Xiao Dengzi came straight to Hengyue.
He approached with a smile on his face and saluted: "Rong Meiren, the emperor has arrived at Weiyang Palace, and he is waiting for Rong Meiren to go back." ”
