374, the harem exploded
The harem exploded!
Although the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom is fifty, but because of proper maintenance, he is absolutely not an old woman in terms of appearance or physical function. From outsiders, he would only think that he is in his early forties.
Not to mention the rain and dew in the harem, there was just a draft a few years ago.
Nanyue Kingdom is different from ancient China. It is not drafted every few years, but it is also drafted by the emperor.
However, since the emperor's fiftieth birthday passed, he actually accepted Concubine Qin to live in Qianqing Palace, which can be said to be unprecedented.
The Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor lives and works, and the emperor rarely allows concubines to stay overnight in the Qianqing Palace, but now he allows a concubine to live directly. Aren't many concubines panicked? Especially the four concubines whom the emperor loves most on weekdays - Concubine Xilan, Concubine Ying, Concubine Yi and Concubine Mu.
Early in the morning, Weiyang Palace was crowded with concubines, big and small.
On weekdays, when the concubines go to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects to the queen, if the queen is in the mood, they will stay and chat for a while; Everyone didn't want to leave either.
"Empress, although what happened to Concubine Qin is indeed sympathetic, but staying in the Qianqing Palace is unprecedented. Will this go on...will be discussed by the courtiers?" Concubine Rou said.
The queen sat on the high seat and looked at Yingying and Yanyan below, but she saw that everyone was either calm or anxious, but her heart was extremely indifferent. "Sister Concubine Rou is worrying too much. No matter whether there is a concubine to stay in Qianqing Palace or not, it is our royal family's business. How can outsiders criticize it? Besides, Sister Qin's Yongxian Palace is under renovation. Qing Palace, do you live in your place?" The tone was relaxed and joking.
In the harem, sisters and sisters are not allowed to bark indiscriminately. They are ranked not only according to age, but also according to rank. , If you want, call your sister.
The empress is the head of the harem, so there is no reason to be a younger sister, but now she respectfully calls Concubine Qin her older sister, which is evident.
Concubine Ying, who sat quietly and didn't understand, thought for a while and said, "What the empress said is very true, but sister Rou is also right. If you want to stay temporarily, sister Qin Concubine should come to Weiyang Palace. In Qianqing Palace, I'm afraid it will disturb you." The emperor's business."
The queen smiled and said, "Sister Ying, you are wrong. Concubine Qin's sister has just recovered from a serious illness, and the emperor is very concerned about it. In the past, Concubine Qin's sister was in Prince Li's mansion, and the emperor could not go out of the palace often. Because of this concern, she lost a little weight. Sister Concubine is back, being by the Emperor's side and being watched by the Emperor every day can make the Emperor feel at ease, right?"
Concubine Yi said, "Even if you feel at ease, you don't need to be in Qianqing Palace, right? Don't you feel at ease in Weiyang Palace? The emperor came to Weiyang Palace after he was busy with official business, and he visited Qin Fei's sister as well as the empress. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
Its meaning is very simple, to secretly persuade the queen to get the moon first if she is close to the water.
The queen took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a light smile, she was both graceful and elegant, but her bright eyes seemed to see through Yifei's little thoughts. "Yes, I also want to have both, but if that's the case, no matter how good the original intention is, I will be infamous for my effort, and I should avoid suspicion."
Concubine Xilan smiled, because she has the blood of Chu Yanguo, Concubine Xilan is beautiful and aggressive, with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, it is no exaggeration to describe her thick eyelashes with a small fan, her delicate facial features and The beauty is unmatched by any concubine in the harem. If one had to find an opponent who was comparable in appearance, perhaps only Zhao Shi, who had lost weight due to pregnancy, would find Ruo Lan.
Humans are visual animals, especially men. With amazing beauties like this, they naturally won the love of many emperors.
"If it is really misunderstood, those people are also people with evil intentions, but my sister thinks that Sister Qin Concubine should be in Weiyang Palace, thinking that Sister Qin Concubine and Empress Empress were like sisters back then, and it was most appropriate for Empress to take care of Sister Qin Concubine It's okay." Concubine Xilan was not only beautiful, but her voice was as clear as a silver bell.
The queen smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, forget it, don't I know what you are thinking? I really don't want the emperor to misunderstand, and it is most appropriate for Concubine Qin's sister to be in Qianqing Palace."
Immediately afterwards, the concubines became anxious, either actively meeting with each other, or discussing with each other, and the whole Weiyang Palace seemed to be boiling.
The queen smiled wryly and stretched out her hands to rub her ears, "Okay, all sisters, be quiet for a while, and let Ben Gong say a word."
The queen speaks, does anyone dare not listen? Although everyone seems to have a deep sisterly love, regardless of rank and etiquette, but everything is superficial. If the queen is in a good mood, everything will be fine. If the mood is not good, except for a few favorite concubines, the group will kneel as they should.
Soon, the room that was still boiling just now suddenly became quiet.
The empress looked serene and kind, and her smiling face exuded a sense of kindness all over her body. Even so, her empress majesty remained undiminished, "I know your thoughts; I also accept your opinions." , So, don’t make me a headache by arguing here. Is it okay for me to go to the Qing Palace? But the ugliness can be said to be in the front, so I just talk about it. Whether it succeeds or not, it’s not Bengong You can talk."
All the concubines hurriedly agreed.
"Since that's the case, you can kneel down and rest. I'm going to the Qianqing Palace now, so don't talk about it." The queen smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of doting.
Only then did the concubines feel relieved, and after paying respects to the queen, they left respectfully.
The queen also returned to the dormitory, redressed under the service of Nanny Li and the maid next to her.
The palace lady brought a hibiscus-colored cloud-colored satin brocade dress with hundreds of flowers and flying butterflies. This color is the best color for the complexion. It can set off the fair cheeks like peach blossoms. With the pure gold pearl head and face, it is easy to look at. I feel pleasing to the eye.
The queen glanced at it, then waved her hands, "Look for something more plain."
The maids were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they went to find clothes.
After sending the maids out, Nanny Li couldn't help but said, "Mother, are you really going to take Concubine Qin to Weiyang Palace later?"
The queen smiled lightly, and that smile was full of sarcasm, "Accepted to Weiyang Palace? What to do in Weiyang Palace? Sisters love each other or make things difficult for me? Today's Concubine Qin is a hot potato. I have a headache, should I let this palace take care of it?" The voice was full of disdain, and there was even a faint disdain for Concubine Qin's weak body.
Nanny Li felt relieved, "But ma'am, aren't you afraid of Concubine Qin's domination?"
The queen raised her eyebrows, "There is nothing to be afraid of, I am too old to compete for favor, let those little girls fight for it," but looking back, there was a hint of slyness on her well-maintained face, "I will do it later." The Qing Palace didn't even mention picking up Concubine Qin."
