Chapter 483: The palace walls are like blood
Liu Jing's meaning is very clear, the emperor's concubines are all plain-faced, is it not appropriate for you to wear a veil to see the emperor. In fact, Liu Jing secretly has a heart eye, and they all say that the "Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao is beautiful and beautiful, and no one has ever seen how beautiful she is. The women around the emperor are all stunning women, especially which Concubine Quan Xian is even more beautiful and admirable. No matter how beautiful you Chen Fengjiao are, how do you compare to them?
Chen Fengjiao replied: "Although the stubborn disease on Feng Jiao's face has faded, she has not fully recovered, I am afraid that the emperor will see something wrong, I will naturally take off the veil when I should show up, which woman is willing to hide her appearance?"
Chen Fengjiao answered correctly, Liu Jing nodded, and didn't say anything anymore, the carriage came to Kunning Palace, Liu Jing led Chen Fengjiao in, Kunning Palace is the essence of Han palace architecture, was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. The Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace of the Inner Court, collectively referred to as the Hou Three Palaces, are the main palaces where the emperor and empress live. Kunning Palace is the queen's bedroom, but Queen Xu has passed away and is now inhabited by Concubine Kwon Hyun. The east and west six palaces are lined up on both sides of the last three palaces, which are the places where the concubines live and rest.
The roof of the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves hall of Kunning Palace shines in the sun, and under the blue sky, the red palace walls, and the rows of red columns, doors and windows under the eaves of Kunning Palace are particularly eye-catching. This is the inner chamber of the palace, the most glorious place in the world. There are countless palace maids and eunuchs here, and there is only one real man, and that is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao is not uncommon to these gorgeous buildings, but is still shocked by their majesty, when the poor people outside are still worried about three meals a day, here is extremely luxurious, a random piece of clothing on the concubine is enough for an ordinary family for a year's expenses. But Chen Fengjiao also knows what is behind the prosperity, and the palace has been a contradiction from the beginning. They strive to create the illusion of greatness, glory, peace, and peace of a dynasty, but at the same time it is the most filthy, ugly, cruel, and evil refuge.
There were no soldiers in the palace garden, and there were eunuchs guarding them. The palace maids are walking back and forth with plates, there are all kinds of seasonal fruits and delicacies on it, the pavilion is in front of them, a group of flowery beauties surround a person, this person sits on a chair, talking and laughing, the concubines and Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and beauties around them are more beautiful than one another, all smiling, smiling, and the atmosphere is peaceful and warm.
The great eunuch Liu Jing walked over lightly and said, "Long live." Chen Meiren has arrived. ”
Everyone turned their heads, "Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao was dressed in a pale pink dress, long to the ground, with a thin waist restrained by a cloud belt, showing a grip on her shoulders, and her delicate long black hair was draped over her shoulders. It's just that she has a veil over her face. I couldn't see her face clearly.
Chen Fengjiao stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The folk girl Chen Fengjiao pays a visit to the saint and wishes the saint long live long live." ”
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di didn't say anything, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea.
This is the second time Chen Fengjiao has knelt down on him, this woman with a strong personality has always given people a feeling of cold arrogance and loneliness. Not afraid of being strong, and being aggressive. Zhu Di left an extremely profound impact at first sight, year after year, day after day. All I saw were women with low eyebrows, and they didn't even dare to come out in front of him. If these women are exquisite meals, Chen Fengjiao is a cup of fragrant tea. This cup of fragrant tea full of the wild atmosphere of the mountains and forests has a unique flavor, which makes Zhu Di regain a sense of conquest, and he wants to conquer this beautiful woman with tenderness without using violent means to possess her.
Zhu Di did it.
The obedience that Chen Fengjiao expressed today is not pretended, the cure of the stubborn illness in the body is only one aspect, the emperor did not use coercive means but followed his wishes, in these days in Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di has never asked for anything, not even once, but he has taken care of everything in life, the palace maids and eunuchs are submissive, for fear of poor service, gold and silver property is piled up in a room, and its treatment is not inferior to any concubine in the palace, can Chen Fengjiao not be moved.
"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao stayed in the palace, the more uneasy she felt, she had been slowly conquered by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, although she still did not admit it, but the subtle power is huge, in fact, in life, some people, once met, will be ten thousand years. Some hearts are excited, but once they start, they are overwhelmed. Some loves, once they are attached, will dry up and rot. Some fates, once intertwined, are inevitable.
The shadow of the "poet saint" Yin Hualei is slowly fading, this is also what Chen Fengjiao is most afraid of, the deep courtyard of the palace, will it really become her last habitat, being the concubine of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di means losing freedom, Zhu Di is withdrawn and moody, once he falls out of favor, the fate of the concubine is worse than anyone else, the palace wall is like blood, and the smell of blood is very strong. Chen Fengjiao can smell this smell.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di looked at Chen Fengjiao who was kneeling at his feet, smiled slightly and said: "Flat, you don't need to pay so much attention to it in the inner palace, today I enjoyed the flowers with my concubine, and I thought that Chen Meiren was lonely alone, so I called you to come together and give me a seat." ”
Chen Fengjiao stood up, the eunuch led her to the side and sat down, put on the fruit and delicacies, the concubines looked at her with jealous eyes, and were not satisfied with the woman who suddenly broke into their sight, which means that there is one more competitor around them, in principle, the emperor can possess the women of the whole world, but the emperor has limited energy after all, Zhu Di is not a faint king, drunk and dreaming all day long under the woman's skirt, Zhu Di has these concubines and beauties, and rarely goes out to look for flowers and willows. But where did this mysterious woman come from, and the emperor took good care of her, which was a threat in itself.
Of course, the most vinegar here is naturally Concubine Quan Xian, she is now Ming Chengzu's favorite concubine, and she is trying to climb to the position of the queen, the position of the queen has been vacant for several years, and all the concubines are fighting for the world of motherhood. Zhu Di didn't plan for a long time, after all, the deceased Empress Xu left too deep an impact on him, and now this concubine beauty is not just a little worse than her.
With the arrival of this mysterious woman, Concubine Quan Xian felt threatened, and this threat could be seen from the emperor's face, how could a people's girl enter the inner palace and live in the Fengtian Palace, in addition to her peerless appearance, what place would attract the emperor.
This woman was wearing a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but it would never be worse, and the wonderful figure and exposed complexion were enough to make every woman present feel ashamed. Concubine Quan Xian deliberately came to Chen Fengjiao's side, looked at her carefully and asked, "Where is Chen Meiren's ancestral home?"
"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao replied: "My home is in Dongting Mountain of Taihu Lake in the west corner of the ancient city of Suzhou. ”
Concubine Quan Xian said with a smile: "Since ancient times, Suzhou and Hangzhou have produced beautiful women, and Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake is even more beautiful, where was my sister born, no wonder you have such a good complexion, I don't know how my sister looks." Saying that, Concubine Quan Xian was about to remove the veil on Chen Fengjiao's face.
Chen Fengjiao dodged away and said softly: "Concubine Niangniang, forgive the people for being rude, I am not feeling well, I am afraid of sweeping away the interest of the concubine, please understand." ”
Concubine Quan Xian chased after her: "Are we all women, if my sister really has a disease, it doesn't hurt for me to take a look, there are imperial doctors in the palace, and they are all famous imperial doctors." ”
Chen Fengjiao glanced at Zhu Di, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di deliberately pretended not to see it, and twisted his head to the side.
Chen Fengjiao was a little angry, grabbed Concubine Quan Xian's outstretched hand and exerted a slight force, the face of Concubine Quan Xian, who was in pain, changed, she frowned tightly but didn't dare to say anything, Chen Fengjiao whispered: "Concubine Niangniang, I'm sorry, I know my illness best, so I don't have to worry about it." ”
Letting go of her hand, Concubine Quan Xian's face slowly turned red, she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but on the surface, she remained silent, and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't want to forget it, there is fruit wine made from new fruits, I toast my sister with a glass." ”
Chen Fengjiao nodded and picked up the wine glass, lifted the veil with one hand, only exposed her lips, and drank the wine dry in one gulp, Concubine Quan Xian saw her bright red lips and slender white neck, which was beautiful, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
More than a dozen concubines, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and beauties seemed to know Concubine Quan Xian's intentions, and they all came up to toast Chen Fengjiao, and there were a lot of more than a dozen glasses of wine, not to mention that although the fruit wine was not large, it was easier to get on the head. Concubine Quan Xian wanted to get her drunk so that Chen Fengjiao would make a fool of herself.
"Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao is such a smart person, I have long seen it. smiled coldly, compared to drinking, there is really no opponent here. Walking on the rivers and lakes, what is wine, "Poetry Saint" Yin Hualei once wrote poems to praise her amount of alcohol, there is a wine daughter red at the head of the bed, and the bright moon is a faint breeze in the sky. The shadow is drunk, and only the pipa is strong.
In the poem, he and the "Qin Sheng" expressed their strong affection to the fullest, which was their happiest time.
After more than a dozen glasses of wine, Chen Fengjiao didn't feel the slightest drunkenness at all, on the contrary, she raised her glass and saluted one by one, and in this way, more than 20 glasses of wine were down, still talking and laughing, which stunned Concubine Quan Xian and the others, and they were all defeated. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di laughed and said: "Chen Meiren is not drunk for a thousand cups, and even I am afraid that I am not her opponent, you should know how powerful she is." There is a 'poet saint' named Yin Hualei in Jiangnan, who wrote such a poem, there is a wine daughter red at the bedside, and the bright moon is a faint breeze in the sky. The shadow is drunk, and only the pipa is strong. It should be a description of the beautiful sound of the piano and the strong affection. ”
Chen Fengjiao's heart perked, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di should know her relationship with the "poet saint" Yin Hualei, the emperor's words revealed a little displeasure and a little jealousy, which made her very uncomfortable. (To be continued......)
