Chapter 200: The Lord of the Main Palace
In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Xu Lianyi sat on the edge of the porch in profane clothes, because of yesterday's events, she was stagnant in her chest, and she couldn't sleep on the couch for a long time, only feeling that there was a fire in her heart, which was about to melt her.
Qiao Yindi: Not only did you rob the person next to me, but now you don't even let go of the people around me, you are really bold, but the daughter of a mere happy household, how dare you fight with me, what do you use to fight with me, can you compete with me? Xu Lianyi closed her eyes and forcibly suppressed the killing intent under her eyes.
"Niangniang!" "Niangniang!" Witty words got up early and saw that there was no trace of Xu Lianyi on the couch, and his heart suddenly missed a beat, only to find that someone was sitting outside: "How long has Niangniang been here?"
Caressing the blood-colored peony on the cloak: "Punch line, am I beautiful, am I not good enough?"
Punch Line was shocked, and said with a forced smile: "Niangniang, what does this mean, your beauty is unmatched, just like this peony, the king of flowers, has its own grace and charm, how can others compare?"
"But I don't think I'm good enough, and it's never just me that occupies his heart. Xu Lianyi's expression was indifferent, and the sadness between the lines was full of words.
Seeing Xu Lianyi in such a state, the frightened witty words hurriedly diverted the topic: "Since Niangniang has already gotten up, it is better to dress up first, the Internal Affairs Office has newly paid some pearl powder, which is the most delicate and soft on the face." As he spoke, he took Xu Lianyi back to the house.
"Yongxiang, you go and say hello in person, don't let those people bully Jing Yao, send some more things over, tell her not to be afraid, I will pick her up immediately." Please touch the bruises under your eyes: "Spray more powder under your eyes, don't show clues, and let people see jokes." β
"Yes. Punch Line took the pearl powder and pounced on it layer by layer.
Huiyu came in and gave a salute: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother sent someone to send a message over, if you wake up, go over and accompany the Queen Mother to have breakfast." β
"I know, I'll get over now. "I'm afraid that yesterday's events have alarmed the Queen Mother, and I'm afraid that it will be ...... at this moment
"Erchen greets the queen mother, I don't know if you slept well yesterday?"
"Come, sit here," Tan Jin patted the stool beside her and looked at her with a smile: "I only know that you must not sleep well, you can't cover the bruises under your eyes." β
Xu Lianyi pursed her lips slightly and bowed her head silently.
"I already know what happened yesterday, Qiao Jieyu is too arrogant, how do you manage this queen?" Xu Lianyi faintly burst into tears, looking aggrieved, Tan Jin continued: "You must always remember your identity, you are the queen of the main palace, others will not be able to go past you no matter what, you must be dignified to the people below, and now there are a group of show girls in this palace who have entered the palace, you have to make a queen to show them!."
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi raised her head and looked at Tan Jin, and nodded her head seriously, she thought that she would be reprimanded, but she never thought about it......
"Erchen knows what to do, and he will live up to his mother's teachings. β
Tan Jin nodded: "It's good to understand." β
Out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Huiyu asked: "Niangniang, should we go back to the palace or go to Taiye Pool for a walk, ...... there?"
Xu Lianyi interrupted her: "Go to the Imperial Garden, let Qiao Yindi and the show girls come over together, saying that the queen understands that they are depressed when they leave home for the first time, so they are invited to visit the garden together." β
"Mother, everyone is here. They were all waiting outside the pavilion. β
"I see, let them stand and enjoy the scenery first. Xu Lianyi sat in the pavilion and commanded.
The sun gradually rose, the sun became more and more scorching, and all the people outside the pavilion were flushed, and their foreheads were sweating, although they were allowed to stand and enjoy the scenery, but no one dared to move, and their posture had not changed for two hours.
Others are okay, Qiao Yindi is very unhappy in her heart, she is dignified Jieyu and a group of show girls standing outside together, which makes others think of her!
Finally, Xu Lianyi spoke up: "Aren't your sisters tired? β
Everyone was busy thanking them and taking their seats, Qiao Yindi was just about to sit down, Xu Lianyi said, "Qiao Jieyu, my tea is cold, can you help me make a new cup of tea?"
Qiao Yindi pressed the anger in her heart, raised the pot to make tea, and didn't let her sit down until she was about to end.
"In a few days, it will be the palace election, I wish you all a good future with tea instead of wine, and you will all be sisters in the future, and I hope that you will get along well after entering the palace and serve the emperor well. β
The beautiful girls replied, "The queen's mother is deeply blessed, and we will remember the teachings of the mother." β
Three days later, at the draft ceremony, a total of two people stood out, one was Ruan Tonghong, the daughter of the military department, and the other was Qiao Jingyuan, the daughter of Qiao Guo's concubine, who was also Xu Lianyi's cousin, Feng Jieyu.
On the first day of entering the palace, the newlyweds should meet the concubines of the palace, because there are only Xu Lianyi and Qiao Yindi in the harem, this audience ceremony is set up in the queen's palace.
Xu Lianyi sat on the head, Qiao Yindi sat on the right, and the two people in the hall bowed down: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old." I have seen Sister Jieyu, sister Wanfu Jin'an. β
Looking at the two people below, Xu Lianyi shook her mind slightly, and then returned to normal, "In the future, everyone will be sisters, this is a little meeting gift, and I hope the two of you will get along in harmony in the future." β
"The concubine obeys, Queen Xie. β
"Queen Niang," Ruan Xiaohong said: "The concubine first entered the palace, and she felt that Yu Niangniang was familiar at first sight, and it was an honor to be able to serve Your Majesty today, and there is another thing I want to give to Niangniang, and I hope Niangniang will not dislike it!"
"Oh, what is it?" Xu Lianyi was at ease with Ruan Xiaohong's overtures.
"Hui Niangniang, it's ......" said while opening the lid, Ruan Xiaohong chuckled in his heart, how could it be a copper hairpin, I obviously prepared a golden hairpin. Qiao Jingyuan!
"Copper hairpin?" Sure enough, Qiao Jingyuan was the first to attack: "The queen mother is supremely noble, what do you mean by offering her copper hairpin?"
Ruan Xiaohong secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and sure enough, the queen also squinted at her, what should I do? Qiao Jingyuan, you wait.
"I also want to know what this copper hairpin means," Xu Lianyi said: "Ruan Guiren?"
"Back to Niangniang, this copper hairpin is indeed specially prepared by the concubine. After a pause, he continued: "Everyone in the world knows that gold is a symbol of dignity, because of this, there are countless people who give people with gold, and the concubines do not want to fall into the clichΓ©. β
"What kind of reason is this?" Qiao Jingyuan sneered.
Ruan Xiaohong opened his mouth to explain: "Copper means 'same', this dragon and phoenix auspicious copper hairpin means that the emperor and the mother agree with one heart, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son!"
"I see!" Xu Lianyi clapped her hands: "It's really a wonderful person!"
Ruan Xiaohong smiled slightly: "Niangniang praised, this is the duty of the concubine, but I can't afford to praise Niangniang!"
Xu Lianyi shook her handkerchief: "The palace said that you can afford it, so you can naturally afford it, and in the future, your exquisite mind can be used to serve Your Majesty well." The tone is precious, making it difficult to figure out the truth or falsehood.
"Niangniang, she clearly ......" Qiao Jingyuan saw that she had escaped like this, and angrily opened her mouth to say something more, Xu Lianyi came over with a sharp look, and the rest of the words were choked in her throat.
"It's been a while, and the palace is a little tired, so let's all go back to the palace separately!" Xu Lianyi lifted her forehead slightly and looked tired.
"Yes, the concubine is retired!"
After they all dispersed, Xu Lianyi slowly spoke: "What do you two think of today's events?"
Huiyu and Witty Yu glanced at each other and took Xu Lianyi's teacup: "Ruan Guiren is smart and clever, the city government is quite deep, and he intends to show favor to Niangniang, probably because he wants Niangniang to be her backer." β
Witty words took over: "Today's incident is obviously deliberately framed by Jing Yuan Jieyu, but Ruan Guiren should not expose her immediately, which shows the depth of her thoughts, on the other hand, Jing Yuan Jieyu ......"
Jing Yuan is simple-minded, and she can't fight Ruan Xiaohong in today's competition. β
"That's what the mother said. Hui Yu said: "It's just that Qiao Jieyu didn't say half a sentence today, it doesn't look like her style, and I don't know what to do." β
Xu Lianyi sneered: "With what he has planned, he can't turn the sky upside down!"
Qiao Jingyuan walked in front of the imperial garden, and Ruan Xiaohong walked a few steps quickly to catch up: "Sister Jingyuan stays, my sister has a few words I want to ask my sister." β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Qiao Jingyuan said impatiently.
"Sister, why did you change my phoenix hairpin. Ruan Xiaohong walked a few steps: "You deliberately approached me on the way here today, do you really think I don't know anything?"
Qiao Jingyuan's face was full of teasing: "What is my sister talking about? I can't understand a word." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qiao Yindi coming from the corner door, and he suddenly had a plan.
She pulled Ruan Xiaohong's hand, Ruan Xiaohong was stunned for some reason, and then heard her pull out her voice and say, "Sister, what are you going to do, let go of me!"
Ruan Xiaohong was shocked, and secretly said that it was not good, and then wanted to shake off her hand, but saw Qiao Jingyuan fall towards the rockery next to him, and hit his head on the stone, bleeding profusely.
Ruan Xiaohong didn't expect her to be so ruthless, and an exclamation came from her ear: "What's wrong!"
It turned out that Qiao Yindi saw the two arguing here, and knew in her heart that someone wanted to invite her to watch the play, and Qiao Yindi did not refuse, it was really a good show.
I saw Qiao Jingyuan covering her wounds, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "Please ask Niangniang to make the decision for me, Ruan Guiren she, she wants to kill the concubine!"
With a plop, Ruan Xiaohong knelt down in front of Qiao Yindi: "Please also ask the mother to see clearly, the concubine has no such intentions, she slandered me!" pointed at Qiao Jingyuan and said hatefully.
"This ......," Qiao Yindi was embarrassed, "I can't interfere in this matter, so it's better to let the queen make the decision." β
Xu Lianyi looked at the group of people who had just left for less than half an hour and turned back, and another one was carried over, and her heart was very different.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Qiao Jingyuan fell off the soft sedan chair and knelt on the ground, so he said miserably: "Sister help, ask my sister to be the master of Jingyuan?"
