Chapter 10 Debunked
Zhao Nuoqing was about to find a secluded place to sit down, when she suddenly heard someone in front of her calling her name, Zhao Nuoqing looked up, and saw Xu Cairen, who was surrounded by many concubines and standing in the middle, waving at her.
For a while, the eyes of many concubines around Xu Cairen looked at Zhao Nuoqing together, and she was quite uncomfortable.
Xu Cairen had already seen her, and took the lead in calling her name, if she didn't go over to say hello at this time, it would really be unreasonable. So, Zhao Nuoqing turned his steps around and walked over, stopped in front of him, and bowed to Xu Cairen.
Xu Cairen is wearing a peach-colored smoke gauze butterfly pleated skirt today, with a Ling Xuan bun on his head and a head full of pearls, even if he stands among the concubines dressed in flowers, he is very conspicuous.
I heard that the emperor passed Xu Cairen to sleep for three days in a row, and then sent the reward like flowing water to Qingran Pavilion, and now Xu Cairen is a big celebrity in the palace, no wonder there are so many people around her.
Xu Cairen glanced at Zhao Nuoqing up and down, and saw that Zhao Nuoqing was wearing a lotus pink flower sprinkled thousand water skirt, with a spirit snake bun combed on his head, and only an apricot hairpin of the same color as his clothes was inserted on it, and only a thin layer of rouge was applied to his face.
But for some reason, such a faint dress on Zhao Nuoqing's body is more and more pure and lovely, exuding a sense of elegance and chic, especially the hairpin on the head, which does not look very precious, but the design is exquisite, inserted in Zhao Nuoqing's hair bun, adding a trace of casual charm to it, compared with the two sides, her such a grand dress can only be described in one word, that is vulgar!
She thought that she would be able to stand out more among the concubines if she was dressed up brightly and extravagantly, so that the emperor could notice her at a glance, of course, when Zhao Nuoqing returned to the future, she was indeed the most conspicuous among the many concubines, but when Zhao Nuoqing came, inexplicably, she felt that she was compared.
She regretted calling Zhao Nuoqing a little, but it was not easy to drive her away at the moment, so she reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "My sister is really dressed up today...... Simple but elegant! ”
Zhao Nuo smiled lightly, compared with the concubines dressed around her, she was indeed dressed elegantly, the concubines tried their best to dress up to attract the attention of the emperor, and she was just to not be rude, and she did not deliberately dress up.
Almost all the concubines present knew Zhao Nuoqing, after all, Xu Cairen, who was still Baolin a few days ago, fainted in front of the Tai'an Palace in such a sensation, and it was Zhao Cairen who supported her by her side.
Now that Xu Cairen has won the emperor's favor, this Zhao Cairen has disappeared, just looking at his appearance, Zhao Nuoqing is much better looking than Xu Cairen, but now he has ended up like this, and everyone can't help but gloat in their hearts.
At this time, a concubine suddenly spoke: "Yes! Zhao Cairen's outfit is too plain! Xu Cairen is still dressed up and looks good, and he is festive when he looks at it, and the emperor will come up later, he will definitely like it! ”
Xu Cairen's inferiority complex was instantly diluted by the concubine's words, and he suddenly gained a lot of self-confidence.
Yes, the emperor likes her now, not Zhao Cairen! It is enough to prove that the emperor is not a person who only looks at his appearance.
Another concubine also chimed in: "Yes! Now Xu Cairen is the most favored among our sisters, in my opinion, Xu Cairen will be pregnant with a dragon son in a few days, and at that time, even if he is the head of the first house, it will not be a problem! If that day really comes, I still look forward to Xu Cairen promoting our sisters! Isn't it? ”
The rest chimed in, "yes, yes! Please also promote more talents! ”
Xu Cairen was praised by everyone, and for a while, the vanity in his heart was stuffed, he smiled and waved his hand, pretending to be modest: "Sisters, laughing, if there is really that day, I will definitely not forget all the sisters!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a shrill and disdainful mocking laugh suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone turned back to find the source of the sound, and saw two equally delicately dressed concubines standing beside them.
The two are delicate and have their own charm.
Among them, the concubine on the left side seemed to have long been unaccustomed to Xu Cairen's triumphant appearance, and saw that everyone was looking at the two of them, full of calmness, and said with a lively mockery: "At the beginning, Zhao Cairen and Xu Cairen lost their honor in front of the palace together, and I never thought that Xu Cairen won the favor of His Majesty for three days in a row, and he was promoted from the Baolin position!" How can you say that Zhao Cairen is also Xu Cairen's benefactor, I don't know if Xu Cairen has Zhao Cairen who helped you on the premise of the emperor? ”
Zhao Nuoqing was about to slip away quietly, and suddenly the unknown concubine suddenly led the topic to her again, and now many concubines looked at her, and Zhao Nuoqing took back the steps he had taken.
As soon as these words came out, the concubines who were surrounding Xu Cairen suddenly realized that Zhao Cairen helped Xu Cairen, and Xu Cairen should be closer to Zhao Cairen, but for a few days, Zhao Cai was still as quiet as before.
Zhao Cairen is like this, how can they expect Xu Cairen to help?
As he spoke, several concubines stayed away from Xu Cairen with disappointed expressions.
Zhao Nuoqing looked at the concubine who led the topic to her, and felt quite familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
At this time, she was gloating at Xu Cairen, who gradually changed her face, and her eyes burst out with smugness.
At this time, the other concubine who was standing side by side with her suddenly said with a serious face: "Lin Cairen's words are wrong, although Xu Cairen did not mention Zhao Cairen to the emperor, he always brought a thank you gift to Zhao Cairen!" ”
Listening to the concubine's words, Xu Cai's heart fell suddenly, and when he met the concubine's eyes, a bad premonition arose.
I heard the concubine smile slyly and said: "It is said that Xu Cairen went to find Zhao Cairen with a thank you gift on the second day after he went to bed, and he chose the most valuable gift to Zhao Cairen among the rewards of the emperor and the queen's mother, guess what it is?" ”
This concubine deliberately bit the syllables on the word "most precious", and everyone was curious for a while.
Hearing this, Zhao Nuoqing and Xu Cairen's faces were shocked, how did they know what Xu Cairen had given her?
Lin Cairen and the concubines beside him exchanged a look with each other, Lin Cairen obviously knew what those thank-you gifts were, but at this moment he pretended to be curious and asked: "Cheng Cairen, don't sell Guanzi, but say what kind of valuable gifts?" Let our sisters listen to it and open their eyes! ”
Xu Cairen clenched her hands at the moment, she couldn't think about who leaked it, she was very afraid that Cheng Cairen would say the thanks, but she couldn't stop Cheng Cairen from continuing.
