Chapter 7: Greetings
Jiang Xinyue timidly raised her head from Emperor Xuanwu's arms, looked at him with a pair of clear eyes washed by rain, and said very seriously: "But...... The concubines were afraid that they would conflict with them, which would make the emperor embarrassed, and the concubines ...... The concubine didn't want to embarrass the emperor. β
Only if you love someone deeply, will you put yourself in such a position and think about each other.
The heart is as cold and hard as Emperor Xuanwu, and he can't help but be moved.
In this harem, he has pampered many women, and each of them says they love him, but he can see that they love the power and status he gives them more.
Since he was a child, he has known that not only the emperor is ruthless, but the harem concubines are even more ruthless.
Even if a simple and kind woman at the beginning has been immersed in the harem for many years, she will become unrecognizable.
This deep palace is a giant beast with a bloody mouth open, devouring all the good qualities of these women.
That Jiang Xinyue...... How long can the love for him last?
This night, the emperor did not discuss the mystery of the body with Jiang Xinyue, but held his hand and watched the room full of epiphany.
Early the next morning, Emperor Xuanwu pinched the sleeping Zhen Ronghua's face and whispered in her ear: "Little liar, he also said that he loves me deeply, and he is still sleeping even when I get up." β
Jiang Xinyue: Turn over and continue to sleep.
The sky was bright, the other half of the bed was already cold, and the magpie and frost were waiting for Jiang Xinyue to freshen up.
Today is her first appearance in front of everyone in the harem, and she doesn't plan to hide her edge, nor does she want to be the target of public criticism.
Dressed in a pea-green flag outfit, she is more and more fresh and refined, with tassels of the same color blowing on her delicate bun, snow-white skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful like a magnolia flower in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, without a little vulgar atmosphere.
Yikun Palaceββ
Jiang Xinyue's arrival was neither early nor too late, and there were already many concubines gathered in the hall, waiting to say hello to the queen.
As soon as he entered, more than a dozen eyes looked at Jiang Xinyue's body.
She took the magpie's hand and walked in steadily: "The concubine greets the queen." β
Empress Zhu smiled very kindly: "It is your blessing that you can regain your holy grace, but you must cherish it, and you must no longer be as willful and arrogant as before." β
Jiang Xinyue blushed: "Concubine, thank you for the queen's teachings." β
Empress Zhu shook her head: "I can't talk about teachings, it's just that I can't bear you little girls like flowers, who have wasted years in this forbidden court, relying on the old and selling the old to give two words of advice." β
Concubine Liang quipped: "If the queen is old, then we old people in the hidden mansion will not have the face to talk anymore, and you are still in your prime when you and your concubines first saw you." β
Chu Jieyu covered her mouth and coughed: "Speaking of which, Zhenrong Hua Niangniang also wants to thank the concubine Niangniang, if it weren't for the concubine Niangniang who rewarded you with a pot of epiphany, how could the emperor move all the epiphany in Si Zhenfang's house to the Lotus Palace?" β
I want to be angry with two people in one sentence.
But Jiang Xinyue didn't seem to be able to hear the provocation in her words, and thanked Concubine Li with a sweet smile: "I should thank you Concubine Niangniang, the room is full of seclusion, and it is the most beautiful scenery that the concubine has ever seen in her life." β
Didn't you say I was short-lived?
Then I'll tell you, the most beautiful flowers, even if they just dissipate in an instant, the second before they dissipate, can be remembered for a lifetime.
Expose her claws at the right time, so that others will misunderstand that she is an uncontrollable and flawed vase, and others will not be in a hurry to deal with her.
Jiang Zhaoyi blew the hot tea in his hand: "Zhen Ronghua, this palace heard the people in Chu Jieyu's palace say that Jiang Bao ...... last night Jiang Cainu went to the Lotus Palace to find you, but was demoted to Cainu by the emperor and entered the cold palace, but is there such a thing? β
Jiang Baolin...... Isn't Jiang Cainu your own sister? β
Jiang Xinyue looked frightened and said: "The concubine didn't dare to speculate about the Sacred Heart, because she didn't know why the emperor would send her sister to the cold palace." If Zhaoyi Niangniang is curious, why don't you ask the emperor? β
Empress Zhu drank hot tea, with a smile on her lips, pretending not to see Jiang Zhaoyi deflated.
Over the years, Jiang Zhaoyi has been attached to Concubine Li, and she has made Queen Zhu unable to come to the stage several times.
"Presumptuous!"
Jiang Zhaoyi slapped his palm on the table: "This palace asks you, what do you mean by taking the emperor out to prevaricate this palace?" β
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins."
Jiang Xinyue knelt down directly in front of Queen Zhu: "The question asked by Zhaoyi Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't know, the emperor wants to demote a palace concubine or promote which concubine, how dare the concubine speculate about the reason." Zhaoyi Niangniang seemed to want to know, and the concubine asked Zhaoyi Niangniang to ask the emperor herself, and the concubine really didn't mean anything else. β
Just want Jiang Zhaoyi to die, what else does it mean?
"Okay, okay......"
Empress Zhu rubbed her eyebrows and played a round game: "Jiang Cainu was demoted, naturally she violated the palace rules, you should also be vigilant, if you dare to make waves in the harem, her today is your tomorrow, do you hear clearly?" β
"Yes, follow the teachings of the Queen."
Countless beauties responded together, and in less than a cup of tea, they all dispersed.
Concubine Li has a sedan chair, and her status is the highest, and she is always the first to go, followed by Concubine Liang and Concubine De.
Concubine De is silent and has almost no sense of existence, but she dares Jiang Xinyue more dangerously than Concubine Liang.
It is inconceivable that an inconspicuous woman can give birth to an heir peacefully in the treacherous harem and sit in the position of one of the four concubines.
After the emperor pampered Jiang Xinyue for two nights in a row, he turned over the sign of Concubine Li of Changxin Palace on the third day.
The palace people couldn't help but sigh, if you want to say that the crown is favored by the six palaces, it is the Li Guifei who is unique.
But Zhen Ronghua can jump from a show girl to Zhen Ronghua in just three months after entering the palace, which should not be underestimated.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight slanted down like water, shining on the body of the shadow by the window.
The soft moonlight seemed to gild her with a layer of silver light, and suddenly she didn't look like a real person, but more like a fairy who was about to ride the wind.
In ancient times, the unpolluted sky was full of stars, and even the moon was a little brighter.
The magpie looked pitying, and stopped talking: "Niangniang, don't wait any longer, the emperor will not come today." β
mistakenly thought that Jiang Xinyue was so fond of the emperor that she was a magpie, and she regarded her admiring the beautiful scenery as self-pity for the moon.
Jiang Xinyue deliberately teased her, with sadness in her eyes: "Magpie, did you say that the emperor and Concubine Li are together, and they are looking at the same moon as me?" β
The magpie couldn't bear to say that the spring night was short, and the concubine and the emperor had already rested.
Changxin Palaceββ
After the warmth, Concubine Li fell into a deep sleep.
The emperor was lying outside, and the thick smell of hair oil on Concubine Li's head made him feel uncomfortable.
This has never been done before.
The hot weather was already dull, and the fragrance of the flowers made Emperor Xuanwu dizzy.
He got up directly and walked out of the hall lightly: "Don't wake up the concubine, I go out to breathe." β
