Chapter 40: Crooked Strikes

Asking for peace is an occasion that the palace concubines have never been able to get around.

The favored ones are in the limelight on this occasion.

The unfavored are treated with cold eyes on this occasion.

Sheng Yi didn't panic, anyway, it was also a familiar person in a familiar place, and she always knew it in her heart, but she really hadn't seen the other three, which made her more or less apprehensive.

Zhixia carefully reviewed the various costumes sent by the workshop, and specially selected two sets to show to Sheng Yi, "Little master, these two sets are the most chic of all the clothes, which one do you want to wear?" ”

After following Sheng Yi for so long, Zhixia also knew that Sheng Yi was a person with ideas, so she left it to her choice.

Sheng Yi stared at the two clothes and looked carefully.

"Wear this set of frost-white rose woven gold dark pattern jacket." Sheng Yi pointed to one of them and said.

Zhixia smiled meaningfully: "It seems that the little master doesn't want to be too ostentatious." ”

Sheng Yi didn't think there was any problem, and said in a whisper: "On this occasion, I am a concubine with a lower rank, so why bother to show myself this limelight, as long as I don't wear it too much and not be cheesy." ”

Zhixia admires the little lord very much, under normal circumstances, the little lord who has just been favored is eager to add brocade clothes, gold and silver inlay, so as to show the holy grace, but the little lord does the opposite.

"Let's go, it's not good to go too late." Sheng Yi put on an emerald brocade cloak, took a golden lotus Ruyi hand stove and walked forward.

The first stop of the new concubine is to go to Shoukang Palace, generally, the Queen Mother is happy and quiet, and it will be counted if she goes through the motions.

However, this time, Sheng Yi has a hunch that it will not end soon.

It is not far from Zhaoyang Palace to Shoukang Palace, Sheng Yi walked fast under his feet, and after a while, he arrived.

Mama Mafin was waiting at the door.

Seeing Sheng Yi coming, he smiled on his face: "Sheng Chang is auspicious." ”

Sheng Yi smiled politely: "Mama Mei Fen has worked hard. ”

"The little master is serious, the slave and maid should do it. You go to the side hall to drink some tea first, and when you are ready, then go in and say goodbye. Mama Mama Mafen led the grand intention to the side hall.

I thought I had come early enough, but I didn't think that the three new concubines had arrived.

Mama Mei Fen walked in first, saluted the little master sitting on the left, handed over the things and said, "Noble Yao, the hand warmer you want." ”

After speaking, Mama Mei Fen glanced at Sheng Yi shallowly.

Sheng Yi realized that Mama Mei Fen must have felt that she couldn't tell which one was a nobleman and would be embarrassed, so she then reminded herself from the beginning.

Sheng Yi Yingying saluted, "Sheng Yi to the Yao nobles." ”

The woman who was called Yao looked slightly more mature than Sheng Yi, her face was arrogant, and she had a sense of looking down on a few people seated, and she didn't even bother to move her eyes in the face of Sheng Yi's salute.

The other two took the initiative to get up and salute Shengyi.

"Today's harem is lively, and even the palace maid can be promoted to the ......" Yao Guiren's words seemed to come out of his nose coldly, and his eyes were empty and overly grandiose, and fell on the body of a bird next to him.

The other two looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out the state for a while, and it was the first day of entering the palace, no one dared to talk, so they had to look at Sheng Yi, with helplessness and concern in their eyes.

Sheng Yi looked at the Yao nobleman who gave her a horse, and he was not in a hurry to bare his face, but said calmly: "Then the Yao nobleman has to work hard, if I am a little palace maid who is often more graceful than you, can I not let people see your jokes?" ”

This was deliberately said to the Yao nobles!

Grace can be gentle, that is for one's own people, or it can be reciprocated, that is for the villain......

Yao Guiren was stunned for a moment, who didn't know that Sheng Yi was favored before them, didn't she deliberately sprinkle sand in her eyes? It's just that just as she was about to have a seizure, the woman in the middle spoke, "Sheng Chang is here, right?" ”

Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and nodded kindly.

"I'm Xuanque, and I'm always there, she's Zhang Changzai, and it's fate that we all enter the palace at the same time." It can be seen that Xuanque has a very good personality, it should be a relatively simple-minded person, and Sheng Yi believes in this thing of the eye, such as Xuanque, she looks very like.

But this Zhang Changzai didn't seem to like to talk much, so he smiled with Sheng Yi and sat down quietly.

"Yes, coming in at the same time, they are always there, it is indeed fate." He smiled and said to Xuanque.

As soon as the words fell, there was movement outside the door.

Sheng Yi poked his head out and looked, it turned out to be Ning Chang.

When he came, Sheng Yi was still wondering in his heart, wondering if Ning Changzai would not like him very much.

Unexpectedly, Tong Zining was the first to look at herself and smiled.

Sheng Yi couldn't stand others from showing favor to him, so he quickly smiled back and introduced to her: "This is Yao Guiren." ”

Tong Ziling saluted respectfully, "Yao noble people are auspicious." ”

Not surprisingly, Yao Guiren still had the same expression, as if she was a fairy daughter in the sky, and these people were all savages in the cave.

Tong Zining's little temper can not stand the cold face, and she is also displeased, she doesn't stick to other people's cold butts.

Sheng Yi watched Tong Zining naturally do it to his side, so he enthusiastically introduced to her: "This is Xuan Chang!" This is Zhang Changzai! ”

Tong Zining glanced at Sheng Yi gratefully, and then exchanged a flat salute with them.

The awkward atmosphere didn't last long, and Mama Mauffin walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the main hall."

Sheng Yi stood up calmly and waited until everyone had gone out before going out.

Zhixia whispered close to Sheng Yi and muttered: "Little master, are we dressing too low-key, you see that these little masters are almost wearing red clothes and feathers!" ”

Sheng Yi just smiled, "It's okay." ”

When they arrived at the main hall, everyone's expressions were much more solemn, like visiting the elders they didn't know during the New Year.

"The concubine greets the Queen Mother! May the Queen Mother be blessed and safe! The queen and the others saluted solemnly.

Shoukang Palace perennial worship Buddha sake, the faint smell of sandalwood in the house, even the Queen Mother looks like a kind feeling.

"Sit down." The Queen Mother was in a good mood and her tone was relaxed.

The queen was in front and took the lead: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

After that, everyone looked for their seats.

Of course, Sheng Yi's position is low, so if he can not be dazzling, he and Tong Ziling found a seat in the back and sat down.

"The Queen Mother's complexion looks much better now." No one spoke, so the queen naturally wanted to hold up the field.

The Queen Mother's eyes contained a smile: "The mourning family is watching the harem gradually fill, and I am happy in my heart." ”

Concubine Lan's face did not have the haze of the previous trivial matters at all, she also smiled, raised her eyebrows and said: "What the Queen Mother said is exact, the harem is thriving now, and the three sisters have entered at once." ”

As if something was wrong just now, I was embarrassed to change my words: "Look at my memory, it should be the four younger sisters, I'm sorry, Sheng Chang is here." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Sheng Yi with a smug and provocative look.

Sheng Yi felt MMP in his heart, why bother, isn't it, are you embarrassed, you made it clear that it was intentional.

However, you can scold and scold in your heart, and you still have to know the general situation on your face, "This shows that Concubine Lan has never treated Sheng Yi as an outsider, and Sheng Yi should thank Niangniang." ”

If you don't pull hatred, I'll still be unforgiving.

Concubine Lan didn't expect Sheng Yi to reply like this, so she could only stare at Sheng Yi in a deflated manner, and responded embarrassedly: "Sheng Chang feels really good about himself." ”

For the time being, it is not certain who the relationship between the three newcomers is, Concubine Lan will naturally not be easily offended, she also has brains, easy to fight?

The Queen Mother saw everything in her eyes, she deliberately looked at Sheng Yi, and said word by word: "It is not easy for Sheng Chang to be there, so that the emperor would rather break the rules than be included in the palace, it seems that it is indeed a lot of thought." ”

Sheng Yi really wants to poke the Queen Mother, this is too obvious to step on, right?

If it were someone else, I would have blushed to the root of my ears a long time ago. Sheng Yi is not like this, and the first meeting is unfavorable, which may have established the image of the angry bag in the future.

"Thanks to the Empress Dowager's care and grace, the concubine has this great luck to serve the emperor." How unwilling Sheng Yi is in his heart, how sincere he is on his face.

The Queen Mother was almost moved by the heart of the heart, and said crisply: "The mourning family also likes you, why don't you come to Shoukang Palace to accompany the mourning family recently, the emperor, the mourning family will say, let the emperor let you relax for a few days......"

Sheng Yi rolled his eyes in his heart: ...... Isn't this an excuse to ban me?

Everyone was shocked, and was detained in Shoukang Palace on the first day of Sheng Yi's favor?

Sheng Yi didn't think so, she naturally understood that the Queen Mother was giving her a dismount, obviously to let her accompany her, but in fact she was dragging herself so that she could make way for the three newcomers.

However, most of the others didn't expect that Sheng Yi was originally going to withdraw the brand, she had her own arrangements, and now she has a reason, and she is not grateful for Dai Xie's heartfelt expression?

Immediately kowtowed and replied: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her pity, and she will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's intentions." ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at first, and the grandeur of the day of favor was coming to an end......
