According to their titles and status, the four concubines are equal, and no one needs to salute anyone. But Concubine Xian felt that since she was acting as the empress temporarily, compared with other concubines, she would naturally be a little higher. Besides, among the people present, she is the only one who has been in the palace the longest, so in terms of qualifications and abilities, she is the highest. Except for Qing Huan, Concubine De, who is on an equal footing with her, always calls her sister every time she sees her, but Qing Huan always looks at her with a mocking smile, as if she is just a clown .
Yes, she does not have the emperor's favor, but the emperor's respect for her is something other people can't get, especially Concubine Shu! What did she think she was? It's not like the emperor didn't dote on a certain concubine before, but where are those concubines now? She is the only one who can climb from an ordinary beautiful girl to one of the four concubines!
"My younger sister is in a good mood, and she is here to enjoy the flowers." Seeing Concubine Xian's expression of fear, Concubine De took the lead. She came from an ordinary family, without a strong natal family, and she looks petite and petite. She is the most typical beauty from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the type that Emperor Ming Cheng liked. Coupled with Concubine De's gentleness and care, Emperor Ming Cheng who served her was also very satisfied. In addition, she has been with her for many years, so she was also named a concubine.
To be honest, in this harem, Qing Huan is the only one with the highest family background.
"It's no better than my sister. Ben Gong is in a better mood. Naturally, the flowers are also beautiful. My sister looks black, could she have collided with something? If that's the case, it's better not to go to the Royal Garden. It doesn't matter if you restrain Ben Gong, I'm afraid that it will infect the emperor."
Sharper than a sharp mouth, Qing Huan is not inferior. During the decades when she was the emperor, she often fought with those old-fashioned courts in order to implement the New Deal. Concubine De's scheming in front of her was nothing more than playing tricks.
The words were very irritating, but what was even more unbearable was her eyes and tone of voice, as if the group of concubines standing in front of her were just a group of lowly creatures, and they didn't even have the qualifications for her to take a look at them. The arrogance exuded from the inside out really made people want to tear off the nobility from her face.
Everyone hated Qing Huan deeply, but no one really dared to tear themselves apart from her. Everyone can see this woman's background and the love she has received, no one would bring such a big trouble to herself for the sake of quick time, except Concubine Xian.
She is smart, otherwise she wouldn't have gained such a status with such an ordinary appearance. Although the emperor never said it, she didn't tell the idiot. Since she was a child, she studied with her father. Naturally, she was different from those concubines who only studied female precepts. She clearly knew that with Concubine Shu's background, it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to make her a queen. Not to mention whether the emperor treats Concubine Shu sincerely or falsely, if it is the latter, then it is good, even if Concubine Shu is domineering now, she can even help the emperor spoil her together, because Concubine Xian knows very well that if the emperor treats Concubine Shu Unintentionally, when the time is right, the day when the Chen family is ready to be eradicated will be the day when Concubine Shu will disappear.
If the former... Even if the emperor loves Concubine Shu, so what? After all, he is the emperor and the master of this world. He clearly knows how terrible the dictatorship of foreign relatives is. Didn't you see that the former Empress Wei'an almost changed her dynasty? In that case, even if the emperor loves Concubine Shu to the core, he will never give her a child.
Otherwise, Concubine Shu has been in the palace for almost a year, and the emperor favors her every night, so why hasn't she conceived a dragon species so far
It has to be said that a large part of Concubine Xian's guess is correct, and Emperor Ming Cheng did have such a plan. But this is the case now, who knows if it will change in the future
Concubine Xian was taught by her father that she must be ruthless and ruthless to be an emperor, and put the country and society above everything else, but is there anything in this world that will never change? Even if there is, how long can she persist in front of Qing Huan
In any case, Qing Huan's end will never be good. Even if the emperor dotes on her, when she gets old and fades in the future, there will always be a more beautiful and younger concubine. At that time, how long can she be arrogant
Therefore, looking at Qing Huan who is now proud and domineering, Concubine Xian's heart not only loathes, but also faintly contempt. It's just a stinking sack with nothing but beauty, and he can't even tell if the emperor is sincere or fake. She had a sense of superiority as if she was looking down on Qing Huan, but seeing Qing Huan being so arrogant, Concubine Xian couldn't help but want to tear off the mask on her face.
It is not yet known who the smart people are. Qing Huan hates a self-righteous woman like Concubine Xian the most.
Although he knew from the bottom of his heart that Emperor Ming Cheng was just playing around with Qing Huan, but there was no doubt about Qing Huan's appearance. But look at her jade finger lifted lightly, picking up a green grape, snow-white finger pulp, neatly manicured nails painted with bright red cardamom, every knuckle is just right. The beauty of this woman is like a raging fire, if you don't pay attention, it can burn you to nothing. Just by looking at this hand, one can imagine how stunning that face will be.
There are countless beautiful beauties in the harem, and the concubines are so beautiful and immortal; Beauty, each kind of beauty is different, and it is impossible to tell who is more beautiful.
And only Qing Huan can be called the crown of beauty. Wherever she is present, whether it is lotus or orchid, it will be overshadowed by peony.
Only the peony is truly national, and the capital moves when it blooms.
It was she who was talking.
Concubine Xian, don't say that she should be compared with Qing Huan, even if she is compared with Concubine Duan, she will be slightly inferior, not to mention that she is not as immortal as Concubine Duan. She is superior in her caring and gentle personality, and she is also considerate. She is used to observing words and expressions, and she has a bookish air that other concubines do not have, which is why she has won Emperor Ming Cheng's favor.
But he didn't really like her much, and he gave her the power of the harem only because Concubine Xian seemed more trustworthy.
Naturally, Concubine Xian didn't think of this. She could clearly see Qing Huan's situation, but she didn't have the slightest self-knowledge. If Emperor Ming Cheng, a peerless beauty like Qing Huan, can't even look down on him, why does she think that Emperor Ming Cheng will definitely have his eyes on her? "What my sister said is wrong. If the emperor's dragon is not in good health, my sister should avoid it. How can I—"
The tirade she had prepared was lazily stopped by Qing Huan: "Don't say such high-sounding big words in front of this palace, even if this palace is going to die, you have to grab the emperor's heart. You can try to grab it with Bengong." After finishing speaking, she raised the corners of her mouth, showed a contemptuous smile, and said slowly: "Ben, Gong, no, I'm afraid."
These words are really treasonous, without the slightest bit of female morality at all! Concubine Xian was about to criticize, when suddenly a burst of laughter came from behind: "It's a good one who is not afraid! It is a good one who is not afraid!"
All the concubines looked back and saw that Emperor Ming Cheng was coming slowly under the service of the palace servants, they were all overjoyed, it's not in vain that they all dressed up meticulously today! All of them lowered their eyes and lowered their eyebrows, making a submissive gesture - because they all knew that the emperor liked such women.
But with precious peonies, who can see other flowers and plants
Emperor Ming Cheng didn't pay attention to their affectionate eyes at all, but strode into the gazebo. In front of others, Qing Huan still wanted to save face for Emperor Ming Cheng, so she got up and bowed: "The concubine pays respects to the emperor."
Before the delicate body bowed down, Emperor Ming Cheng helped her up, sat on the seat where she had just been, pulled her onto his lap, tapped the tip of her upturned nose, and saw juice on the corners of her lips, I couldn't help wiping it off for her, but for some reason in the middle, I accidentally put it in my mouth!
Even Qing Huan did not expect Emperor Ming Cheng to be so brazen. She reacted quickly, ignoring the kneeling concubines around her, picked up a grape and brought it to Emperor Ming Cheng's mouth: "Your Majesty?"
The jade-white onion fingers and the green grapes are surprisingly beautiful. Emperor Ming Cheng opened his mouth, and put Qing Huan's fingers in his mouth together, licking with the tip of his tongue, teasing ambiguously. Qing Huan was not shy, she stirred Emperor Ming Cheng's mouth with her fingers, playing with his lips and tongue with her delicate fingers, which gave Emperor Ming Cheng a different kind of pleasure.
He had a faint feeling that he would die on this goblin.
The concubines who were ignored felt hatred and anger in their hearts. When Emperor Ming Cheng took Qing Huan and got up, they hated Qing Huan even more. what is this? It's only natural for them to kneel before the emperor, but Qing Huan is not the queen, so why should they kneel
Among them, the ones who are most unwilling are probably Concubine De and Concubine Xian. The faces of both of them were ugly, but due to the presence of Emperor Ming Cheng, they could only swallow their anger.
But Qinghuan couldn't see them being happy, so she had to find something to do to them. Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to take her to enjoy the flowers, but she stopped him, so he asked with puzzled eyes. Qing Huan cast a malicious look at Concubine De, and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw Concubine De's elder sister's Yintang turn black, did I bump into something? Oh, look, it's even darker!"
After hearing this, Emperor Ming Cheng couldn't help but smile. This little woman is not worried, she is clearly adding insult to injury, why is Concubine De's face dark? Is it because she is suing? But now he is very concerned about her, so he is willing to spoil her, and such a bad and undisguised Qinghuan really suits his heart. He also thought about it today when he was in the imperial study. When he took away the rights of the Chen family, he would not kill her, but would keep her by his side. As for the Chen family... for her sake, he can also spare their lives.
It's just that capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and house raids and exile cannot be avoided. But this is already a great kindness, she shouldn't be angry, right
"Since Concubine De is not feeling well, she can rest in her own palace for a month."
This is going to be grounded!
The emperor is willing to do this for Concubine Shu!
