The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 16: Inferiority

Views:

Zhuang Luoyan chose to walk in a secluded place just because he wanted to avoid other concubines, but he didn't expect to meet concubines in secluded places, and he was an acquaintance.

Since Concubine Yuan was demoted to Concubine Lin, she had asked herself to be grounded for a month. Zhuang Luoyan did not expect to meet her in this place. Lin Zhixi, who was demoted to the concubine, no longer had the extravagance of the past. She was wearing a simple gauze skirt, and even her eyes became dry and dull. It seemed that one demotion had consumed all her spiritual energy.

Zhuang Luoyan heard that when the soft concubine Lin Qingyin first entered the palace, she was still a little good-natured, and Lin Zhixi was already a second-class Zhaoyi, just because Lin Qingyin and her surname were divided into the emperor's favor, Lin Zhixi did not often make things difficult for Lin Qingyin .

Now that Lin Zhixi has been relegated, Lin Qingyin is already a concubine Rou. I wonder if the situation back then will be changed

"Sister Lin Concubine is well," Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile on Yan Yan's face, which was obviously very soft. In Lin Concubine's eyes, it was nothing but a high-level mockery.

"Which is good for Sister Zhao Concubine," Lin Concubine gave a half-salute expressionlessly, seeing Zhuang Luoyan politely avoiding, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which woman in the harem is not well-mannered, and the etiquette can't be picked out at all. , but what is done in private, which one can stand on the stage

"I heard that the emperor cherished his sister and gave him a lot of head and face jewelry early in the morning. It can be said that it is a harem of petting crowns." When Lin Concubine spoke of the harem of petting crowns, the ironic smile on her face was even more obvious. If you cut off your favor before you are old, you can't even keep your position. I don't know what a ridiculous scene it is in the eyes of others.

"My little sister can't do anything about pampering the harem." Zhuang Luoyan didn't dare to be linked with this word. Don't you see any women who are linked to this word. There are a few who will end well. She feels that she can still enjoy it in the harem. At this age, this term really doesn't suit her.

Concubine Lin gave Zhuang Luoyan a noncommittal look, seeing that she really did not show any joy at the word "Pamper Crown Harem", and she was even more wary of her patience in her heart. This kind of person who does not show the slightest joy is the most terrifying thing in the harem. , who told her that Concubine Zhao had no brains

Empress, Concubine Shu Gui, Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, or Ye Shuyi who has been demoted to Rong Hua? Concubine Lin smiled bitterly. Others saw that the two courts of Linzhuang and Zhuang were at odds with each other, but after a little provocation, they went to embarrass Concubine Zhao. Who is brainless

"Pampering the crown harem..." Lin Concubine smiled wearily, "Who is better, who is less than?" In this harem, there are many women who have been beautiful, and how many people can be the last.

Zhuang Luoyan found that Concubine Lin's expression was wrong. It didn't seem like she resented herself or seemed uneasy, but she was a little discouraged. She couldn't help but look at her more. After a closer look, she found that Lin Zhixi's facial features were very beautiful without the hairpin jewelry. It's just that the skin is not as delicate as that of young women.

"If you laugh today, when she laughs tomorrow, how do you know what will happen to you?" Lin Concubine suddenly raised her tired eyes and looked at Zhuang Luoyan, "I don't regret losing, and you can keep smiling all the time. win?"

Zhuang Luoyan looked at her without saying a word.

Lin Concubine sneered, looked away, pointed to a flower and said, "A month ago, I remember that the peony was blooming there, but now the phoenix is blooming, who can say which flower is better?"

Turning his head to look at the bunch of phoenix immortals, Zhuang Luoyan tilted his head and smiled, but remained silent.

"I will watch you," Lin Concubine suddenly approached Zhuang Luoyan, with some vicissitudes and madness in the tiredness, "I want to watch you go from the favored harem to my step, maybe... even more pitiful than me." After speaking, he smiled and was supported by the palace maid and walked away.

Zhuang Luoyan looked back at her back and raised her eyebrows. Should she tell Concubine Lin that she never had to compare herself

Even if a woman is like a flower, it is for her own beauty, so why should you care about how it compares in the eyes of those who see it? Love yourself more, and when the flowers fade, isn't it better to have less regrets

Just as Zhuang Luoyan was about to leave, she heard a small sound behind her. Looking back, it was Zhuang Wanqing who hadn't spoken to her for a long time.

"Sister," Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyelids slightly, as if she was a well-behaved younger sister.

"Concubine Zhao," Zhuang Wanqing gave a light salute, "I just watched Sister Concubine Lin walk past this place with a smile, but Concubine Zhao and Concubine Lin had a good time talking?"

No one in the harem knew that Lin Zhixi and Zhuang Luoyan had a bad relationship, and Zhuang Wanqing's words sounded more like irony.

"My sister heard that my sister and Lin Concubine sister have talked very much for many times." Zhuang Luoyan knew that Zhuang Wanqing had also been embarrassed by Lin Zhixi, who was still a concubine Yuan. Now seeing Lin Zhixi like this, I don't know what she was thinking. idea.

Zhuang Wanqing did not expect Zhuang Luoyan to say such a thing, and after a slight stunned expression, she said, "Why are you making a mockery of me?"

"Didn't my sister say that?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "Why did my sister forget?"

"Actually, I don't want to fight with you either," Zhuang Wanqing smiled wryly, "I wasn't taken seriously at home since I was a child. Later, when I was sent to the harem, my mother received some attention in the mansion. Yes, I'm a concubine with a different appearance. It's not as good as you, so since you entered the palace, my mother's life in the palace has become more difficult."

"I hated you. I hated that you were beautiful but your character was stubborn. You made me embarrassed everywhere." Although the relationship is not good, but after all, she is the daughter of the banker, life in the harem is too difficult, I don't want to face those calculations and battles alone."

Hearing this, Zhuang Luoyan raised his head and looked at Zhuang Wanqing carefully. Seeing that she was not even a little uncomfortable when he looked at her, he smiled and said, "What sister said, you and my sisters should naturally support each other."

"My little sister thinks so, I'm relieved," Zhuang Wanqing showed a faint smile on his face, and then lowered his voice: "You have to be careful of Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning." After speaking, she looked around, left in a hurry.

"Master, this..." Yun Xi was a maid brought from Zhuang's mansion, so she naturally understood how much affection there was between the two young ladies of the Zhuang family's concubine.

"She just said a lot of words, but she didn't say anything," Zhuang Luoyan smiled casually. She naturally wouldn't believe that Zhuang Wanqing's move was really a show of affection. If it was a show of love, Zhuang Wanqing would do it Not so calm. What's more, who in this harem does not need to be careful, not to mention the favored Concubine Shu Gui and Concubine Ning, who has always been known as the Emperor's Jieyuhua

Zhuang Wanqing is a little Jieyu, and her foundation in the harem is unstable. Even if she follows a high-ranking concubine, she is just a chess piece.

"Then what should we do?" Yun Xi asked in a low voice.

"What should I do?" Zhuang Luoyan leaned over and pinched a balsam flower, "I met you between sisters, what's wrong with chatting?"

Yun Xi's eyes widened slightly. Does the master's intention mean that what happened today did not happen, that is, to ignore Zhuang Jieyu's gesture

"Come back, I'm tired too," Zhuang Luoyan didn't want to do anything with Zhuang Wanqing, not to mention that she was just a concubine who didn't have much brains and was attracted to the emperor, wasn't she

In this world, pig-like teammates are not terrible. The most terrible thing is the teammates who are wearing pig skins but always have a knife behind their back. Zhuang Wanqing can't cooperate with her sincerely, and she doesn't believe in this kind of thing in the harem. The nihilistic sisterhood, this kind of friendship and the friendship in the shopping mall are even more unreliable.

"Reporting to the emperor, the eunuch of the inner guard asks to see you," Gao Dezhong reminded in a low voice when the emperor lowered his head to review the memorial, although most of the time the emperor would not meet.

"Xuan," Feng Jin didn't lift his head. He finished approving the book in his hand. When he raised his head, he happened to see the eunuch come in with a tray with his head bowed. Concubine Zhao."

The inner eunuch and the eunuch silently withdrew. The emperor only rested in Taoyu Pavilion last night, and today he flipped over the sign of Zhao Concubine, which is really rare.

"Empress Empress, today the emperor flipped the sign again," He Yu walked to the queen's side, "I heard that I still go to Taoyu Pavilion."

"Isn't the emperor Lin Yuexuan, the concubine of Yanyan?" The queen put down the scriptures in her hand, and said in a flat tone, "The concubine Zhao of Taoyu Pavilion is also a lovely person. It is normal for the emperor to visit twice occasionally." What's more, this person in the harem is really not the most favored person, and she can't do anything because the emperor can't sit still after going twice in a row, which makes the emperor dissatisfied in vain.

Seeing the Queen's expression, He Yu knew that she didn't care about it, so he quietly retreated.

The queen continued to bury her head in reading the Buddhist scriptures without raising her eyelids, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The number of times Feng Jin came to Taoyu Pavilion is not particularly high, but every day he comes to Taoyu Pavilion, he has a different experience, Zhao Concubine is not as versatile as other concubines, but it is very easy to get along with Zhao Concubine, he sometimes even thinks, Is it that when one person is attached to the other, everything will take that person first? So if you go to Taoyu Pavilion by yourself, will you feel relaxed and comfortable

The car stopped outside the Taoyu Pavilion, lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the woman in white under the moonlight bowing down, with only a jasper hairpin stuck in her blue silk, lazy and amorous.

"Concubine Ai, please get up." After approaching, he still smelled the faint cool smell, and the restlessness in Feng Jin's heart suddenly disappeared.

The two walked in together, the ice cubes placed in the house kept the room from being too hot, Feng Jin sat down by the window and hugged Zhuang Luoyan on his lap, "I remember that Concubine Ai and Zhuang Jieyu are sisters, Right?"

"The emperor is busy with government affairs. I still remember such trivial matters as the concubine and elder sister. The concubine is a little surprised," Zhuang Luoyan tried hard to make her little worship less obvious, but it still made the emperor aware of it, "The concubine and elder sister are indeed half sisters. It's just that my concubine and my sister have not been raised together since they were young, and the time with my sister is very short. In addition, when I was young, my sister was more sensible than me, so my father used her to encourage me. , Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be."

Feng Jin heard the words but didn't care much and said: "There is a difference between the concubines and concubines. It's normal that you don't have a deep relationship with her."

Zhuang Luoyan bowed his head and smiled in shame, but said no more.

She understood what the emperor meant. As an emperor, she naturally didn't want the women in the harem to join forces. In addition, the emperor was a direct descendant when he was still a prince. At that time, it seemed that there was a prince who was very domineering in the harem because of his mother's favor. It is not surprising that Feng Jin can say such words now. Of course, she wasn't sure if there was anything in those words. However, at least one thing is certain, that is, she cannot get too close to Zhuang Wanqing. After all, Zhuang Wanqing talked to her for a while today, and now the emperor mentioned this matter, whether it was a coincidence or a warning.

Seeing Zhuang Luoyan's shy gesture, Feng Jin waved to the other people in the room to step back, then picked up Zhuang Luoyan and walked to the bed.

The people around you are like the moon, with frost and snow on your wrists. Such poems are not enough to describe the woman under him, Feng Jin stroked the slippery skin under his hands, turned over contentedly, and smelled the faint fragrance on her body, "Concubine Ai's skin is really as soft as hands, skin like Congealed fat, with a collar like a grub, teeth like a rhinoceros, a scorpion head and a crescent eyebrow, a beautiful smile! Beautiful eyes look forward to!"

Zhuang Luoyan pretended to be shy and buried his head in the emperor's arms, but he felt that no matter what kind of man, he would say nice things in bed.

A good Mingjun, what kind of poetry is playing? It seems that the emperor also possesses this kind of hidden man's inferiority.
