The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 11: their own thoughts

Views:

Jin Liangyi was demoted by the emperor to be the last to change clothes. In the eyes of a woman in the harem, it is actually just a trivial matter. Although Jin Liangyi came from a humble background and climbed to the position of Liangyi from a palace maid, there are some means, but the glory in the harem is given by the emperor. , If the emperor wants to take it back, it is just a sentence.

"Niangniang, that Jin Liangyi..." Shi Wu glanced at the gorgeous palace satin on her master's body, and looked around carefully, obviously not wanting to be noticed.

"The emperor's child is gone, I feel uncomfortable, Jin Liangyi was demoted to changing clothes, why is it strange?" Concubine Rou supported Shi Wu's hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth pretendingly, "Bengong heard that Jin Liangyi's brother was a servant. He murdered someone, killed someone, and also called out that his sister was the emperor's favorite concubine." Speaking of this, Concubine Rou showed a mocking smile, "It's just a fifth-grade servant who climbed up by a palace maid, no wonder even her mother's family is not on the stage."

Shi Wu suddenly realized that this was the case. She said that although Jin Liangyi was not the most favored, the emperor had visited her several times in recent months, so why did he choose Jin Liang from among the concubines The instrument has occurred.

Concubine Rou showed a clear expression when she saw Shi Wu, and frowned a little impatiently, "You also keep your mind smarter on weekdays, don't ask this palace to remind you of everything."

"Yes," Shi Wu lowered her head, and there was a hint of ridicule in Fu Xiu's eyes standing on the other side of Concubine Rou. She turned her head to serve Concubine Rou carefully, as if she didn't hear Concubine Rou's words, nor did she see Shi Wu's embarrassment.

"Niangniang, do you see Concubine Zhao and Concubine Yuan who are walking in front?" Fu Xiu noticed the group of people in front and said in a low voice, "Concubine Yuan's face doesn't seem to be very good-looking."

Concubine Rou paused, looked at her carefully, raised her eyebrows and said, "This Concubine Yuan has not been very favored for the past two years. Why don't you deal with Concubine Zhao now?" She didn't like Concubine Zhao, but she didn't see her either. I like Concubine Yuan so much. When she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, Concubine Yuan didn't feel sorry for her. When the two confronted each other, she was happy to watch the excitement.

"Niangniang, the slaves have heard some news," Shi Wu said in a timely manner, "The slaves once heard other slaves say that the relationship between the Lin family and the Zhuang family in the court is not harmonious. I think it is because this relationship is difficult. "

Concubine Rou moved her hand in front of Shi Wu with a half-smiling smile, and she supported her and said, "That's it, it looks like we're going to watch another good show."

Zhuang Luoyan felt that she was very innocent. When she walked out of Ye Shurong's place honestly, she could also encounter difficulties from others. Moreover, this master didn't follow Concubine Rou's trick of hiding needles in cotton, but instead took direct hits.

Zhuang Luoyan has no memory of the original owner of Concubine Yuan's body, and Zhuang Luoyan doesn't know much about this person. At most, he only knows that this is the old man who served by his side when he was the emperor or the prince. Although he is nearly thirty years old, his appearance is still amazing. People are soul-stirring, but it is a pity that a new generation replaces the old, such a beauty can only be buried in the deep palace.

"I have long heard that the concubine Zhao of Taoyu Pavilion is arrogant and rude because of being favored by the emperor. I thought it was a subordinate talking about it, but today I saw it. Concubine Yuan raised her eyebrows with a sharp smell, stretched out her right index finger and pinched Zhuang Luo's chin, and knocked on the woman kneeling in front of her condescendingly. She was young and beautiful, and her skin was moist and lustrous. After so many years, the emperor's favor is no longer

Her subordinate tapped the red mark on her chin with force, and Concubine Yuan slowly retracted her hand and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief before she said, "Looking at this beauty, it's not a good order, where is the capital to be arrogant in the harem? ?"

Zhuang Luoyan buried her head and complained secretly in her heart. Although this concubine Yuan was not favored, her qualifications were here. Even if her little concubine Zhao concubine had a big bad luck on her hands, I am afraid no one would say a word, the only one. The only person who can save her is the scumbag emperor or the high-ranking concubines who are not compatible with the concubine Yuan, but remembering the bunch of beauties in the harem and the emperor's attitude towards the concubines of the harem, she rubbed her chin, and she had no order for a romantic heroine. , or don't get sick of the romance heroine, it's the big reason to think about how to get out.

"Concubine Yuan's concubine is clear, concubines really don't dare to do this," Zhuang Luoyan sighed inwardly, this Concubine Yuan obviously wanted to deal with herself, why is it because of other things, this harem is really a complicated circle of relationships.

"I've seen Concubine Yuan, what are you doing?" Concubine Rou came with the guard of honor and looked at Zhuang Luoyan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a gentle smile, "Isn't this Sister Zhao Concubine? Recently, Concubine Zhao has been serving the emperor, and I am afraid that she will be busy for a while in the future, how did she offend my sister?"

Concubine Yuan glanced at Concubine Rou faintly, and forced a smile: "Isn't it hard for little sister Rou to serve the emperor?"

Concubine Rou approached, and every step she took was magnificent. "Serving the emperor is a blessing for the sisters. How can it be said that it is hard or not? When my sister served the emperor in the past, can it be said that it was hard work?"

When Concubine Yuan heard this, she couldn't even hold back the smile on her face. She glanced at Concubine Rou with a cold eye, then turned her eyes away and fell on Zhuang Luoyan, before slowly opening her mouth after a while: "Since Concubine Rou is here today. This, this palace will forgive your rudeness, if there is another time, this palace will not forgive you lightly.”

After watching Concubine Yuan leave with a smile, Concubine Rou looked at the person who was still kneeling on the ground with a very gentle voice: "Remember, this palace can make you stand up today, and I can make you kneel down tomorrow, in this harem. There are too many people who can run over you."

After speaking, he smiled and supported the maid's hand and left, and the guard of honor representing the concubine passed Zhuang Luoyan, as if mocking and ignoring.

After all the people left, Zhuang Luoyan got up from the ground, patted the dust on his knees, and there was no trace of loneliness on his face, "Ting Zhu and Yun Xi will pinch me after they go back, it's really uncomfortable to kneel on this bluestone slab."

"Yes," Tingzhu and Yunxi carefully supported Zhuang Luoyan to the Taoyu Pavilion, Yunxi sighed, "I never thought that Concubine Yuan would embarrass the master like this. Back then, Master Lin was at odds with Lord Lin, but I didn't expect that the harem would be involved now. Come, but how could Concubine Rou help the master?"

"Why is she helping the master, but she just wants to watch the fun and create a block for Concubine Yuan and the master," Tingzhu said in a low voice: "When Concubine Rou first entered the palace, Concubine Yuan treated her very hard. Now They are all concubines, and Concubine Rou is favored, but they are just disgusting Concubine Yuan."

Zhuang Luoyan wanted to say that this is the failure and greatness of women in the harem. The great part is that they can endure and climb. The failure is that after climbing up, they only remember that the scenery is good, but they forget that there are thorns at the foot of the mountain.

"She helped me, but she just wanted to tell me that she could let me live or she could kill me," Zhuang Luoyan sneered, "She's giving back the slap of Ge Jinzi." It's a pity that Zhuang Luoyan didn't What self-esteem, although Concubine Rou's move made her a little embarrassed, she would not be corporally punished by Concubine Yuan.

At some point, a woman with no face, no skin and no self-esteem... The spiritual world is extremely powerful.

After Concubine Yuan returned to the palace, she was so angry that she broke several celadon tea cups. Concubine Zhao was hateful, but Concubine Rou was a thorn in her heart. The little slut who lived in her palace back then is now on an equal footing with her. It is really hateful to show off with holy favor.

"Lin Qingyin, what a concubine Rou!" Concubine Yuan cut off a flower branch and sneered.

Because Ye Shurong lost her child, the emperor was very sad. For several days, he did not call the women in the harem. The people in the harem did not dare to make any big trouble because of Jin Liangyi's previous experience. Even going to the queen's house to ask for peace is well-behaved, and no one is going to show off or make trouble with each other.

Zhuang Luoyan has been very busy these days, so she began to learn a technique that ancient women must have, that is, female red. Although the original owner of the body is stubborn, the female red is still good. She picked up a cheap one, embroidered a handkerchief or something, and can still see it.

Life in the harem is quite leisurely as long as no one makes trouble. Zhuang Luoyan occasionally practiced writing with two calligraphy brushes, and the effect was not very good, but the handwriting was barely recognizable.

"Master, a new batch of spices has been distributed in the palace today, do you want to order it?" Yun Xi came in with a small painted wooden box and moved very carefully.

"Spice?" Zhuang Luoyan frowned, "I'll take a look at it."

The incense in the box is very well made and has a very light taste, which is very suitable for this weather to smoke clothes or smoke the house.

Zhuang Luoyan was playing with a spice, "The weather is still mild now, so we don't need to use spices to drive away mosquitoes. I never like to use these spices to smoke clothes, so let's go."

In the harem drama, these spices have always been poisoned binding equipment. She couldn't tell whether there were any problems with these spices, but smelling too much of these things was bad for the respiratory tract, so she still avoided them.

Yun Xi packed up the spices and stepped back, thinking that she already understood Zhuang Luoyan's concerns.

"Master is worried?" Tingzhu gently squeezed Zhuang Luoyan's shoulder, and explained softly: "These things are from the pass in the hall, so there may not be a problem. If it is not like this, then we Everything that is used can be used."

Zhuang Luoyan leaned back in the chair lazily and said with a smile, "However, this palace is still in the hands of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen."

Hearing Zhu Wen's words, she was shocked. She really didn't think about this level, but only expected the little tricks of this concubine and concubines on weekdays, but she never thought that the harem was also involved in government affairs.

"It's the slaves who see it lightly," Ting Zhu said, "The master is a delicate person, and the slaves are far behind."

"It's not that you see it lightly, it's that I think too much, it's all uncertain, how can we do it accurately," Zhuang Luoyan waved and yawned, "Well, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go to bed and rest for a while. ."

Tingzhu guessed that the master didn't want to think of the emperor too indifferently, so she waited for Zhuang Luoyan to take a nap, of course she wouldn't know that the master was really sleepy, rather than trying to escape.

It has been nearly ten days since the emperor entered the harem. The harem has changed from being honest to being a little impetuous. It’s just that the queen is the wife of the emperor, so it’s not easy to talk to the emperor, and the queen mother is still worshipping Buddha, so naturally she doesn’t care about these things, so everyone in the harem Watching anxiously.

"Emperor, the Empress asks to see you." Gao Dezhong walked to the emperor and saw that he was reviewing the memorial, his voice was even lower.

"Empress?" Feng Jin frowned slightly, his tone was a little indifferent, he lowered his head and continued to read the book, "Let her come in."

The Empress entered the main hall and saluted in an orderly manner. Seeing the indifferent expression of the Emperor, she said softly, "The Emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, so don't forget to take good care of yourself."

"The queen is worried. There are a lot of affairs in the court recently, and the affairs of the harem have tired you." Feng Jin stood up, walked to the queen, took her hand and sat down, "There are some restless people in the harem. , if there is, you don't have to report back to me, the punishment is according to the rules, you and I have been married for many years, so you don't have to worry so much."

"The emperor loves the concubine, it is the blessing of the concubine," the queen's smile became more obvious, "It's just that I haven't seen the queen to walk among the sisters in the harem these days, wondering if the emperor is tired, how can I come here today? Forgive the emperor."

"Why did Caifu say this?" Feng Jin smiled when he heard the words. "You and I have been married for more than ten years. How can you use it like this? It's just that the government has been busy recently, and Ye Shurong's child..."

"The emperor doesn't have to be so sad, there will still be children." The queen saw the emperor's sadness and hurriedly comforted her: "The sisters in the harem will definitely give birth to many beautiful and motivated children for their children."

"Forget it, I made the Empress worry," Feng Jin forced a smile, "You are tired these days, go back and rest early, I know what to do."

Seeing the emperor like this, the queen didn't want to say anything more, so she had to retreat with her worries and distress towards the emperor.

After the queen left, the smile on the emperor's face all faded, "Gao Dezhong."

"The servant is here," Gao Dezhong said when he entered the room and saw the indifferent expression on the emperor's face, his heart jumped, and he lowered his head.

"Let the eunuch of the chamberlain come in."

The eunuch of the inner guard walked in with a plate of tooth plaques, and lined up in a row, there were actually 20 or 30 plaques among them, and some of the women's names Feng Jin had no impression at all.

These signs were lined up one by one by size, Feng Jin glanced at the tray, and flipped one at random, "That's it."

The eunuch of the inner guard carefully took a look at the sign and exited the hall.

"The emperor's oral decree, tonight Hele Palace will hold the lamp."

Gao Dezhong lowered his head, Hele Palace? It seems that Concubine Rou will be the object of envy of the concubines again tomorrow.

"Gao Dezhong!"

Hearing the emperor's call, Gao Dezhong hurriedly said, "The servant is here."

"Distribute the silk and satin that came from Jiangnan as tribute to the empress and several concubines' palaces," Feng Jin paused.

"Yes."

Yangui Concubine and Zhao Concubine? It seems that these two are still solid favorites recently.
