Chapter 6. Audience
"My sisters came so early today, are you still used to life in the palace?" The queen sat on the first seat above, looking like a main palace, with a shallow smile on her face, and anyone who saw it felt that this was a virtuous and virtuous main room.
However, in An Lingrong's eyes, there is only the word "hypocrisy".
All kinds of previous lives are surging like a tide, An Lingrong clenched the handkerchief in her hand hard, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, the clear pain made her mind calm down for three points, and replied with everyone else: "Thanks to the queen's care, everything is fine." β
The queen smiled softly and nodded slightly.
An Lingrong lowered his eyes and quietly glanced at the few concubines sitting in the hall.
Under the queen's seat, the left and right hands are empty. One is Concubine Duan, frail and sickly, living in the deep palace for a long time, rarely going out to see people, An Lingrong almost never had a personal relationship with her in her previous life, only knowing that she had a very poor relationship with Concubine Hua, and she was a sick Shi; The other is Concubine Hua, and she can be late for the palace audience, which is her only right. Further down, there are Concubine Qi, Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, Cao Guiren, and Xin Chang.
was looking at it, and suddenly heard footsteps at the door, and then Concubine Hua's voice came slowly: "It's not too late for this palace to come." β
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated, except for the queen, everyone saluted: "Hello to Concubine Hua." β
An Lingrong quietly raised the corner of her eyes and glanced at Concubine Hua, the gorgeous red was as warm and beautiful as a blooming peony, her white fingers were dyed with a little impatiens, and her armor shook a touch of gold, Concubine Hua Tingting curled through the crowd and gave the queen a salute casually: "Say hello to the queen." β
"Sister, let's be even." The Queen's voice was audible cold.
Concubine Hua didn't feel at ease, straightened up and didn't bend down half an inch, and sat down.
Concubine Qi has always been unaccustomed to Concubine Hua's style, so she immediately opened her mouth to be yin and yang, but for so many years, Concubine Hua has been favored, how could she have suffered under her mouth? immediately choked back, and even took the opportunity to sarcastically mock the queen, laughing more and more flatteringly.
But the queen is not Concubine Qi, so she naturally knows where Concubine Hua's pain is: "Since I met your new sisters today, we will have a few more companions in the future." β
Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows, squinted her eyes, and everyone was holding their breath, only Xia Dongchun, stupid and ignorant, pulled the sleeve of the Fucha nobleman and asked secretly: "Who is this Concubine Hua so powerful?" β
Idiot.
The Fucha nobleman simply rolled his eyes and ignored her, An Lingrong lowered his head and cursed in his heart. Xia Dongchun thought that she was speaking very quietly, but in fact, everyone heard it, Concubine Hua's eyes stopped on her for a while, she didn't even know, she was really stupid.
After summer, winter and spring, Concubine Hua saw An Lingrong.
Thin and small, Ann is well-behaved.
This was her first impression of An Lingrong.
"The little lords bow to the queen." Jiang Fuhai sang in a straight voice.
Headed by Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, everyone knelt three times and knocked nine times according to the number of etiquette, because Aunt Jiaoxi had taught it earlier, everyone did not make a mistake in the number of etiquette, only in summer, winter and spring, either they were slow to raise their hands, or they knelt on the skirt, and made a lot of jokes. Concubine Li sat next to her, covering her lips and chuckling a few times, Concubine Hua also glanced at it, and suddenly felt that her eyes were dirty, either talking to Song Zhi, or yawning and taking a nap.
After a salute, everyone thanked the queen, and then bowed to the concubines.
"Concubine Duan's health is sick, and I am afraid that the little masters will not be able to see each other today." Jiang Fuhai said.
The queen followed up and expressed her concern, pretending to let Jianqiu go and see it later.
An Lingrong only sneered in his heart. Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua have been grudges for many years, and they are both the daughters of Jiangmen, the queen wishes that the two of them would make as much trouble as possible, this sentence is just superficial work, in order to arouse Concubine Hua's resentment, and tell her that Concubine Duan is still living in the harem safe and sound, but don't forget it.
Sure enough, Concubine Hua's face immediately became ugly.
Under Concubine Duan is Concubine Hua, and everyone knelt down again: "Concubine Hua Niangniang is blessed with Jin'an." β
Concubine Hua couldn't hear it, touched her earrings and said, "The cui sent by the Internal Affairs Office this year is a little floating, and it is not transparent at all. This kind of emerald is becoming more and more rare. β
The queen knew her intentions, but she also had to give her this scene and said a few words back and forth.
An Lingrong hung his head and half-knelt on the ground, and the rest of the people were also quiet, only Xia Dongchun was unstable under his feet, and his body shook for a moment, and she reached out to help her. In this life, because of Concubine Li, An Lingrong stood in a different position from the previous life, behind Xia Dongchun, so he held her firmly as soon as he raised his hand.
With this move, Fucha nobles, Xia Dongchun, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang glanced at her.
An Lingrong didn't pay attention to anyone, and after giving it a hand, she withdrew her hand, still hanging her head, as if the person who shot just now was not her. Fortunately, at this time, the queen and Concubine Hua were fighting, and the few people sitting were all attracted to attention, except for the few newcomers who were kneeling, no one noticed this momentary small movement.
"Alright, let's get up first."
"Yo, patronizing and talking to the queen, I forgot that you are still polite, get up." Concubine Hua chuckled and shouted, this dismount was also completely killed.
"Concubine Xie Hua."
It's just that no one is a clay man's temper, and after getting up, Shen Meizhuang seemed to be on fire, and the face of the nobleman was not good-looking. Chun Chang is naΓ―ve and ignorant, he only feels that his legs are sore, Zhen Huan has a city government, and he can't see it on his face at all, only Xia, Dongchun, happy and colorful, showing a distorted expression, which fell in the eyes of Concubine Hua.
It seems that the last life was red, and it was not unjust to reward her.
An Lingrong glanced at the situation and lowered his eyes silently.
"There is a Xia Changzai who I heard is very capable...... "Concubine Hua really ordered Xia Dongchun and came out to ask.
Without waiting for Concubine Hua to finish speaking, Xia Dongchun hurriedly smiled and took two steps forward: "Concubine Hua Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an, the concubine is often in the Xia family." β
"Poof." Concubine Li couldn't help it, laughed softly, and hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief.
Concubine Qi's face was speechless for a while, and she looked away without looking.
Even Song Zhi behind Concubine Hua showed a mocking smile blatantly, but Xia Dongchun didn't know that he had made a mistake.
Concubine Hua smiled, and a cold color appeared in her eyes: "Xia Changzai is very good at dressing up, this material is very expensive, right?" β
Speaking of materials, An Lingrong knew that things were not good.
Looking up, I saw Concubine Li smiling, Song Zhi was indifferent, Concubine Hua was even more frosty on her face, she didn't notice it at all in summer, winter and spring, she only cared about pleasing the queen, but she forgot that what she was kneeling at the moment was Concubine Hua Shilan, who had been favored in the harem for many years and had been favored for many years.
In her previous life, Xia Dongchun was caught by Concubine Hua as soon as she left Jingren Palace and broke a leg, now that I think about it, that dispute was just an excuse, and the real reason was that Xia Dongchun's answer completely confirmed her position as the queen.
"I know that I know that I am a person with a heart." After Concubine Hua finished speaking lightly, she didn't pay attention to her anymore.
An Lingrong couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and a cold chill rose from the soles of her feet.
Even though she had a lot of blood on her hands in her previous life, An Lingrong still felt that she was a little bit of a witch and didn't have enough to see at all.
An Lingrong was extremely angry that Concubine Hua humiliated her, but she knew that cursing Concubine Hua behind her back was the only thing she dared to do, and deep in her heart, she was still extremely afraid of Concubine Hua's cruel and vicious methods. There was a buzzing sound in her ears, An Lingrong gritted her teeth to stop her trembling, this moment was the most sober moment after she came back from rebirth.
Concubine Hua, don't be with it!
When she calmed down again, An Lingrong was already in a cold sweat, and at this time, Concubine Hua was already facing Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan immediately stood up to save the scene: "The queen's mother is like a bright moon, Concubine Hua's country is like a pearl, and the concubines are beyond her reach." β
Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan for a long time: "There are more and more articulate people in the palace. β
An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan from afar, her thoughts were chaotic, and finally sorted out a line: Zhen Huan, in this life, she must protect Zhen Huan in order to survive to the end in this cannibalistic harem.
But, but right now, it's not the time.
An Lingrong closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"All my sisters are naturally ......"
"Who is Ann who promised?" Concubine Hua raised her voice to interrupt the queen's words.
An Lingrong shook suddenly, suppressed the trembling in his heart, turned around and saluted slowly: "Concubine Qixiang Palace promised An Lingrong, see Concubine Hua Niangniang." β
"The voice is really beautiful and beautiful, no wonder the emperor never forgot it after the draft, and mentioned you in front of the palace several times." Concubine Hua's voice was still a little angry, she knew that An Lingrong had taken refuge in herself, and she didn't take much care of her words, so she directly took it as her own person to vent her anger, "But this palace sounds like this, and it is only two or three points higher than the singer in the palace." β
An Lingrong's face turned slightly pale for a moment, but he quickly calmed down: "The concubine is just the daughter of the county princess, and the emperor listens to it just for freshness." Concubine Hua's voice is clear, like a broken jade in Kunshan, with her own style, the concubine has a yearning and is out of reach, I only hope to listen to Niangniang's teachings more in the future. "Now that you are in Concubine Hua's camp, you must at least save your life.
Concubine Hua was silent for a long time, and a smile appeared on her face: "Concubine Li has always told this palace that you speak well, and this palace thought it was your voice, but I didn't expect it to be a sweet mouth." As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood that An Lingrong was her person, and the natural purpose was achieved, "Get up." β
"Yes." An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
The queen sat on the top, glanced at An Lingrong coldly, and then said like a spring breeze: "In the future, we will be in the palace together, one must serve the emperor with all my heart and soul, and continue to be the descendants of the royal family, and the other must also work with one heart and one mind, live in harmony, and not give birth to jealousy and annoy the emperor." β
Everyone should be.
The Queen Mother wanted to meditate and worship the Buddha, and everyone did not go to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and the Queen ordered to kneel down, and everyone bowed and retired.
Because Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were outstanding, the queen gave an extra reward for the two of them to take back.
An Lingrong only glanced at it, then followed Concubine Li and walked to Concubine Hua's side.
"This palace sees that you like it, so let's go back together." Concubine Hua smiled and spoke in a rare good temper.
"Niangniang likes you, don't hurry up." Concubine Li urged An Lingrong to follow Concubine Hua, and she went back with Cao Guiren first.
An Lingrong bowed and walked out of Jingren Palace behind Concubine Hua.
As soon as I got out of the palace gate, I heard Xia Dongchun's voice smiling and coming: "These things for appreciation, my Xia family is not lacking, but Shen Guiren's small favor seems to really invite people to buy people's hearts!" β
"Such a virtuous person is also worthy of entering the palace, and he is really just an empty bag. When a person like the Xia family comes to our Nian Mansion, he doesn't even deserve to carry shoes. Song Zhi looked at Concubine Hua's face and spoke, her eyes full of disdain, "The slave maid heard that a few days ago in the Yanxi Palace, she went to annoy the rich and noble people every day, and she also made a lot of nonsense in the imperial garden, which made the chickens and dogs restless. β
Concubine Hua sneered: "Look at the clothes she is wearing, do you think that with the support of the queen, she can show off her power here?" She gritted her back teeth and said, "Such a stupid person has also entered the palace, and the palace is dirty to look at more." β
An Lingrong watched Concubine Hua's face freeze inch by inch, and somehow, an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
Now it seems that everything is happening according to the time of the previous life, if she provokes a link, will the fate be variable?
Her heart was beating wildly, she thought about it, and slowly spoke: "Xia Chang is ignorant, even if he has the support of the queen, he will make a lot of jokes when he thinks about it." The days in this palace are dull, and many people are making trouble, which is also a pleasure. β
Concubine Hua's heart moved, and she looked at An Lingrong with some surprise.
An Lingrong pretended to be panicked for a moment: "The concubine just hasn't seen anything in the world, if she says something wrong, please don't blame the mother." β
Concubine Hua smiled: "No, this palace just thinks you have given an excellent proposal." β
