Chapter 5. Li Concubine
It wasn't until the evening that Concubine Li came back from Yikun Palace slowly.
An Lingrong was cautious, and in order to leave a good impression on Concubine Li, he didn't eat dinner, for fear of missing the first time to ask for peace. As soon as he heard Mo'er's message, he hurriedly led people to the Chengxi Palace.
"The concubine promised An's family, I have seen Concubine Li, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." After An Lingrong entered the hall, he bowed, and it took a long time to hear the voice of Concubine Li.
"Yo, this is the emperor's praise of Ann agreed, it was really a good voice, and the palace was itchy when I heard it." Concubine Li made a tone and didn't ask An Lingrong to get up, "The emperor likes you, if you don't want to go over the palace in the future, this worship, the palace can't afford it." ”
An Lingrong's heart jumped, and he knelt down on his knees: "The mother praises falsely, and the concubine is ashamed." Before entering the palace, the concubine listened to the teachings of Aunt Xi, in the harem, Concubine Hua Niangniang poured the country and the city, and the concubine Niangniang was beautiful, regardless of the sum of the little masters of the palace, it was not as good as one or two of the two demeanors, the concubine was dull, and her voice was slightly outstanding, and she was not qualified to compare with Niangniang. ”
Concubine Li was coaxed by An Lingrong's words, and immediately laughed: "My sister not only has a beautiful voice, but also speaks well. Hurry up. Raising her hand and giving her seat, Concubine Li's face also looked a lot better, "Since you have entered the Qixiang Palace of this palace, you will be the sister of this palace in the future, and this palace will have to take care of you." Are the palace people still satisfied? ”
"The people arranged by Niangniang are naturally all good, and the concubines are here to thank Niangniang." An Lingrong stood up again and saluted.
Concubine Li's eyes when she looked at An Lingrong immediately softened: "That's good." If there is anything inappropriate, just say it to the green willow of the main palace. Today is also lacking, you should retreat first, and after a few days of palace visits, the palace will take you to meet Concubine Hua. ”
An Lingrong's expression moved slightly, and he secretly suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, got up and saluted and retreated.
After she left, Cuiliu beside Concubine Li whispered: "Niangniang, Ann Promise does seem to be an honest person, do you really want to introduce her to Concubine Hua?" ”
Concubine Li paced to the dresser and sat down, her face was angry: "What does it matter if the palace introduces her or not, what matters is that the emperor has taken a fancy to her." She took off her hair full of pearls, took off her makeup, and looked at her no longer youthful face in the mirror, with a look in her eyes, "The grace of this palace is not as good as before, Concubine Hua now values Cao Qinmo more than me, in the end, it is because there are no children in this palace......" She touched her flat lower abdomen and showed a wry smile.
"Niangniang is still young, there will be one in the future." Cuiliu comforted.
Concubine Li shook her head, didn't say anything anymore, and said: "In this draft, except for a few who were selected into the palace because of their family background, there are only five or six who have won the emperor's appreciation. Fucha nobles have a prominent family background, Chun Changzai is still young, Xia Changzai does not know the number of etiquette, and Guan Changzai and Shen Guiren are favored by the queen, so this An promised to look more pleasing to the eye. She exhaled, "Bengong introduced her, and in the future, she will be favored, and she will be able to remember the goodness of Bengong." ”
The next day, the rewards of each palace were rewarded one after another, and there were a lot of good things piled up in Zichun Pavilion.
An Lingrong looked at these rewards in a trance, remembering that in his previous life, he only had a few pieces of cloth, or the share that everyone in the palace had, and Xia Dongchun also took the opportunity to ridicule. In this life, I don't know what went wrong, Queen Concubine Hua looked at her differently, and even Concubine Li gave her a lot of rewards according to Concubine Hua's wishes.
"Little master, it seems that Concubine Hua has the intention of wooing you." The dill will be numbered one by one.
Cardamom ran in from outside, panting: "The slave maid inquired around, among the newcomers, in addition to the noble Borzigit nobles and Fucha nobles, Shen Guiren and Guan Changzai were rewarded the most, and the queen deliberately rewarded Xia Changzai, or Aunt Jianqiu specially gave gifts to the past." ”
The situation in this life is different, and Concubine Hua seems to want to take her under her command.
However, compared to the queen, Concubine Hua is obviously a better choice. But thinking about the fate of Concubine Hua in the future, this choice is not so reliable.
An Lingrong drank tea slowly, his eyes flickering.
Just thinking about it, Cardamom leaned over and whispered: "When the slave maid came out of Yanxi Palace, she ran into Zhou Ninghai next to Concubine Hua's mother, and she was kind to the slave maid. However, before leaving the palace gate, he heard Xia Chang saying loudly, 'No matter how good Concubine Hua's things are, they are not as good as the queen's mother's reward', and immediately Zhou's father-in-law's face was not good-looking. ”
An Ling pulled the corners of his mouth without a trace and did not speak.
After the reward, he was waiting for the palace to be seen, and he was idle for two days, An Lingrong did not force himself between Zhen and Shen as he did in his previous life, but carefully selected the gift and found the concubine.
Just after noon at this time, Concubine Li pinched a little and prepared to go to Yikun Palace, when she heard Cuiliu say, "Niangniang, Ann agrees to see you." ”
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and sat down: "Let her in." ”
An Lingrong led the dill slowly in to salute and greet her, and then said: "Niangniang has all kinds of rewards, and the concubine is ashamed of it, so I came to thank Niangniang." ”
"Mine is just a little small, Concubine Hua is very blue-eyed to you." Li Concubine deliberately emphasized.
"Yes, after the palace visit, the concubine will go to worship Concubine Xie Hua again." An Lingrong said.
A smile crossed Li Concubine's eyes, and the secret path was a top one.
"The concubine can't repay it, this is the concubine's homemade jade girl powder, the powder is delicate, and a lot of nourishing drugs are added. An Lingrong took the delicate powder box from Dill and handed it to Cuiliu.
Concubine Li's eyes lit up, she looked at the incense powder through Cuiliu's hand, and nodded: "You have a heart." ”
"Niangniang does not dislike the craftsmanship of concubines, it is the blessing of concubines." An Lingrong smiled generously.
Concubine Li fell in love with An Lingrong completely, and talked to her a lot, but she delayed the time to go to Yikun Palace.
"Concubine Li came later than usual, what's wrong with today?" Concubine Hua looked at the sun outside, a little strange.
"I think something stumbled on my feet......" Before Cao Guiren finished speaking, Concubine Li stepped on the tail note and walked in.
After a salute and sat down, Concubine Li excitedly reported the good news to Concubine Hua: "Niangniang, the concubine's palace An promise is quite clever, she already knows Niangniang's intentions, and she just came to find the concubine to show her loyalty!" ”
Concubine Hua leaned lazily, raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Oh? ”
"Congratulations, Niangniang." Cao Guiren was happy, "This An family is just a small family, and he must have respect for his mother." ”
Concubine Hua pulled the corners of her mouth and seemed to smile: "Speaking of the portal, it is quite compatible with you." Seeing that Cao Guiren's face was stiff inch by inch, Concubine Hua was happy and looked at Concubine Li, "People, you train first, and then bring her to the palace after tomorrow." ”
Li Concubine should not be.
"Broken Yuxuan, what's going on in the past two days?" Concubine Hua asked again.
"I heard that Shen Guiren often gossiped with Guan Chang, and yesterday's reward, the palace maid who was often by Guan Chang's side also gave a copy to Shen Guiren, it seems that the feelings are very deep." Cao Guiren said in a low voice, "Although I can't tell if it's the queen's person at present, but the two of them are in a party, I'm afraid it's not easy to control." ”
Concubine Hua snorted coldly: "As soon as you enter the palace, you will form a party, you are really restless." I'm afraid that my heart is higher than the sky! ”
Sensing the coldness in Concubine Hua's words, Cao Guiren shut her mouth sneeringly, and Concubine Li picked up and talked about other things.
After getting along for two days, An Lingrong found that Concubine Li was actually a very good person to get along with, her personality was straightforward, and everything was written on her face, as long as she followed her words and said something flattering and flattering, everything would be fine.
In this way, An Lingrong waited for the day of the palace visit.
As soon as the sky was polished, An Lingrong got up early to freshen up. With Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang in front, she couldn't be outstanding, so she simply saved some effort, so she only picked out a snow-blue dress to wear, and a hairpin.
is not like Zhen Huan deliberately low-key, nor is it like Shen Meizhuang to show off alone, An Lingrong only dresses appropriately according to the duty he promised.
Ready, An Lingrong walked to the Chengxi Hall and waited for Concubine Li.
She is now a person in the Li Concubine Palace, and she naturally has to follow Li Concubine when she sees her in the palace, unlike in her previous life, Yanxi Palace has no main throne and goes directly to Jingren Palace on her own.
"When you enter Jingren Palace after a while, you can weigh what you should say and what you shouldn't say. If you make the mother unhappy, you can be careful. Before leaving the palace, Concubine Li warned An Lingrong.
"The concubine knows." An Lingrong lowered his eyebrows and replied.
Concubine Li restrained her momentum and comforted An Lingrong with two words: "But you speak pleasantly, and you can't make any mistakes if you think about it." These days, this palace talks about you many times with Niangniang, and has a very good impression of you, as long as you recognize Niangniang, you will have your benefits in the future. ”
An Lingrong is another blessing.
All the way to Jingren Palace, Concubine Li walked into the inner hall, and An Lingrong walked to the side hall and stayed with the rest of the newcomers.
The side hall is already standing with Fucha nobles and Xia Chang, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Chun Chang have not yet arrived.
An Lingrong was in a low position, and he saluted in a proper manner and stood aside.
"You're just Ann agreed." The nobleman of Fucha came up and talked to An Lingrong, "You are the only one who enters the palace this time, and you are the only one who nests in the palace and does not come out for half a step, which is very mysterious." ”
An Lingrong was surprised, the nobleman of Fucha boasted of her illustrious family background in her previous life, and never put a person born in a small family like her in her eyes, even Shen Guiren sneered, how could she talk to her at this time?
But soon, An Lingrong understood.
Xia Dongchun still looks stupid and unaware in her previous life, but it is about the reason why she does not live together in Yanxi Palace in this life, only the Fucha nobles can be annoyed in the summer, winter and spring, and no matter how well the Fucha nobles are raised, they really don't want to take care of her at this time, and when they saw An Lingrong coming in, they were busy transferring the lineup.
An Lingrong didn't want to offend the nobles of Fucha, and after saluting and greeting her, he replied to her in a low voice: "The lord of Qixiang Palace, Concubine Li Niangniang and the concubine are very close to each other, these days in the palace, the concubine has spent more time asking Niangniang Niang about the etiquette in the palace, so she has never gone out of the palace to disturb the sisters." ”
The nobles of Fucha were a little surprised by her courtesy, but they also liked her more.
After all, with the contrast between summer, winter and spring in front, An Lingrong has to be more likable to her.
As he was talking, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked in one after the other.
Another salute.
This is the first time An Lingrong has seen the two of them after entering the palace, and he is dressed in the same way as when he met in the palace in his previous life, Shen Meizhuang is elegant and beautiful, Zhen Huan can hardly hide the sky, and the two of them stand together, as if separated from a small world.
Chun Changzai still looked innocent, and walked in with Zhen Huan's hind feet.
Then there are Borzigit nobles and Olaben Chang, these two are high-status Manchu and Mongolian people, few Fucha nobles are as good-looking, and the emperor is admitted to the palace just to marry the old customs.
As soon as An Lingrong withdrew his gaze, he heard Jiang Fuhai inside preach loudly: "All the little masters have entered the palace to meet you——"
