The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 70: Sisterly love

Views:

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xianrong asks to see you." Gao Dezhong walked in and reported in a low voice.

Feng Jin was listening to a court musician playing Xi Jiangyue, and he lifted it up: "Let her come in."

When Zhuang Luoyan entered the room and saw the emperor listening to the song, he knew that he would not be in a bad mood now, he stepped forward and saluted, and glanced at the beauty who was playing the pipa, "This song Xi Jiangyue played very well. "

"Concubine Ai also appreciates this song?" Feng Jin gave Zhuang Luoyan a seat, listened to Zhuang Luoyan's evaluation of the song, and asked with interest, "I don't know, it's better for Concubine Ai to tell me. "

"A concubine listens to a beautiful song, watches a beautiful dance, admires beautiful people, loves beautiful flowers, and has nothing to do with elegance or vulgarity. How is the concubine, doesn't the emperor know?" Zhuang Luoyan curled his lips, "I like things. It should have nothing to do with his own nobleness and vulgarity. If he first judges nobleness and vulgarity and then likes it, why would he really like it? But if he likes the noble, and hates the vulgar, then he likes it a bit more hypocritically." After speaking, he revealed a Adverbial expression.

"You are a layman, but you are still talking about such a bunch of crooked ideas. I really don't know what to say about you," Feng Jin smiled, but it was obviously Zhuang Luoyan's casual delusions, but he suddenly thought of it. Xu Zhaorong, then inexplicably and strangely agreed with the fallacy in Zhuang Luoyan's mouth.

The two admired Feihuadiancui from Xijiangyue, and Jackdaw playing in the water from Feihuadiancui. Feng Jin saw that Zhuang Luoyan's originally round eyes had become semi-circular, and finally waved his hand to stop the pipa musician and said: "Concubine Ai has something to come?"

Zhuang Luoyan glanced over the beautiful pipa-playing beauty standing on the side, "The emperor has seen through the concubine's careful thoughts."

Feng Jin smiled, "How can I not understand your thoughts, talk about it." Even if you don't understand seven points, you still understand three points.

"The concubine is here to ask for grace for my sister," Zhuang Luoyan stood up and saluted the emperor. Although the emperor's expression did not change, Zhuang Luoyan was sensitively aware of the subtle change in the emperor's mood, "The concubine and sister The relationship has always been bad, and it will be even worse after entering the palace."

Feng Jin didn't expect Zhuang Luoyan to be so outspoken, without even a bit of euphemism.

"My concubine is a direct descendant, my elder sister is a concubine, my elder sister's biological mother was born very lowly, but she is very skillful. When I was young, my concubine watched her mother cry secretly because of her elder sister's biological mother for a long time, until her father found out that her biological mother wanted to trick her. I've put my mind back again." Zhuang Luoyan's tone was filled with sadness and sadness, "Now that the past has passed, but the relationship between the concubine and my sister has not eased. Later, the concubine entered the palace, and there was a lot of unpleasantness with my sister. The thing is, the two of us are called sisters, but our relationship is not as good as ordinary people."

"My sister resents me, and my concubine doesn't like her either. It's just that now she's gone, but the concubine isn't happy at all. Maybe it's because she has something to do with the concubine today, or maybe her surname is Zhuang. The concubine doesn't ask much for her sister, just begging The emperor gave my sister a favor and buried her honorably." After Zhuang Luoyan finished speaking, she knelt down slowly.

Feng Jin thought that Zhuang Luoyan might come to ask for grace for Zhuang Guiren and act as a sister in front of him, but he did not expect that Zhuang Luoyan did ask for grace, but there was no sisterly affection inside or outside the words, but some For the sake of family.

Zhuang Luoyan's sincere words made Feng Jin a little at a loss as to how to express it. There are many women in the harem, but it is really strange to say such a straightforward statement in front of him.

"Do you know that I have said before that I buried your sister with a noble example?" Feng Jin looked at Zhuang Luoyan with the same expression on his face, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"The concubine knows that the concubine embarrassed the emperor." Zhuang Luoyan kowtowed.

"Forget it, I have some understanding of your mood." He is also a direct son, and he suffered from the loss of a concubine before he ascended the throne, but on the day King Gou really died, he was not necessarily satisfied or happy." Since you insisted on interceding for her, I am grateful for your feelings, so I will posthumously call her Jieyu and bury her with the standard of four-character concubine."

"Concubine, thank the Emperor Longen," Zhuang Luoyan raised his head and knocked again.

Feng Jin sighed and reached out to support her, "The ground is so comfortable, you can't get up when you kneel?"

"The concubine just thinks it's embarrassing for the emperor..." Zhuang Luoyan seemed a little moved and a little guilty, and didn't even dare to look at the emperor.

Instead, Feng Jin laughed and pulled the person into his arms. This woman, at some point, was really unspeakable to his heart.

That afternoon, all the concubines and concubines in the harem already knew that after Zhao Xianrong went to the Qianzheng Palace, Zhuang Wanqing, who could not be pursued, was pursued as a Jieyu, and even buried as a virtuous concubine.

This change made everyone in the harem once again sighed that Zhao Xianrong was favored, and at the same time felt a little ironic. I'm afraid that Zhuang Wanqing never thought that the one who could make her go away in a beautiful and beautiful way would be the sister he hated the most.

The queen didn't understand a little. Zhuang Luoyan ran to the emperor to ask for grace. Could it be that she wanted to play a good show of sisters' love to make the emperor feel that she valued love and righteousness? This kind of trick is a bit clumsy, and the emperor is not a man of temperament.

"Heyu, let someone invite the concubine virtuous and noble." The queen said, things in the harem are getting more and more complicated, and a few newcomers will soon enter the palace. I don't know what the chaos will be like in the harem.

In fact, not only the queen didn't understand, but even the people who served Zhuang Luoyan didn't understand.

After Yun Xi and Tingzhu saw that the master had asked for grace from the Qianzheng Palace, they changed into light-colored clothes, went to the gorgeous hairpin ring, and then went to Duanbenzhai, and they were even more puzzled.

Because of the emperor's decree to pursue the title again, the mourning hall originally built for Zhuang Wanqing looked shabby, but the people in the palace were flexible, and soon the entire mourning hall was made into a virtuous concubine specification, complete with crying palace maids and eunuchs , even the somewhat shabby Duanbenzhai looks neat and tidy.

When Zhuang Luoyan arrived at Duanbenzhai, some low-ranking concubines were worshipping. When they saw Zhuang Luoyan, they came forward to greet him, and they didn't even have the courage to be slighted.

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the entire mourning hall without much expression on her face. She took the paper money and threw it into the copper basin. Watching the flames rise, she did not deliberately make a sad expression. The coffin in the hall turned and left Duanbenzhai.

After leaving Duanbenzhai, Tingzhu couldn't help but asked, "Niangniang, who are you?"

"Sisters, what should I do?" Zhuang Luoyan replied casually, but only she understood that this was a dangerous move. If you make the right move, the emperor will feel that we are the same world. If you make the wrong move If you do, it will offend the emperor, but fortunately, she made the right move.

"Isn't this Empress Zhaoxian Rong?" Su Xiuyi sat on the chariot, first glanced down at Zhuang Luoyan, then slowly got off the chariot, bowed to Zhuang Luoyan, and looked behind Zhuang Luoyan With a glance, "Niangniang came back from Duanbenzhai?"

"Su Xiuyi has good eyesight," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, completely ignoring Su Xiuyi's neglect.

"Niangniang and Zhuang Jieyu are really close sisters," Su Xiuyi said with a bit of irony in her tone. "Not only did she help Zhuang Jieyu to seek grace, but she also came to worship herself." This woman can act, but Zhuang Wanqing will not be able to do so in such a short time. Now, is it possible that it has nothing to do with her

"Don't Su Xiuyi and Concubine Shu Gui have the same sisterhood?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled softly, and Zhufo couldn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's words.

"My cousin and I are naturally sisters." After Su Xiuyi replied this sentence, Fang felt that there was something wrong with Zhuang Luoyan's words. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. The other party could only stand on the spot with his neck stuck for a while.

Seeing Su Xiuyi's appearance, Zhuang Luoyan began to wonder what Concubine Shu was doing with such a cousin by her side. Could she be used as a reference to show her superiority in IQ

"The sister relationship between Su Xiuyi and Concubine Shu naturally doesn't need to be questioned," Zhuang Luoyan smiled softly, "Presumably Concubine Shu also takes care of Su Xiuyi on weekdays." Not sure how many people were offended.

Su Xiuyi couldn't hear the sarcasm in Zhuang Luoyan's words, but she couldn't refute it. In this harem, she was not a high-ranking person, and she was not particularly favored. Other concubines were afraid of her and avoided her, not because of the church. Sister's relationship? But even so, there is still some unwillingness in my heart.

"I still have something to do in this palace, so I'll go back to the palace first, Su Xiuyi is free." Zhuang Luoyan nodded and smiled at him, then held Yun Xi's hand and left slowly.

Su Xiuyi stared at Zhuang Luoyan's back angrily, wishing to take off the hateful smile on the other side's face, because that kind of smile would make her feel that she was worthless.

"Master Su, Niangniang please come to the Anqing Palace quickly." At this moment, a palace maid hurried over, salutes and said, "Niangniang is looking for you for something."

"I see," Su Xiuyi replied in an unpleasant tone.

The palace maid quickly stepped aside, but she could hear the unwillingness and anger in Su Xiuyi's tone.

Behind the flowers not far away, Concubine Xiangui held the hand of the palace maid and watched the scene just now with a half-smiling smile. After Zhuang Luoyan and Su Xiuyi had both left, she said slowly, "This Zhao Xianrong said nothing. Wrong, the Su family cousins are not just sisters."

"Niangniang, why is Zhao Xianrong provoking their relationship?" The maid next to Concubine Xiangui asked inexplicably.

"It's too rude to say Su Xiuyi," Concubine Xiangui raised her eyebrows, "not to mention when Zhao Xianrong provoked, those words just now are not wrong, if there is any problem, you can only blame the obedient people for not knowing. Listen, it's only when you're thinking about it that you think too much."

The palace maid didn't say any more at the moment, she thought for a while and said, "By the way, Niangniang, just now the Queen's Niangniang sent someone to give you time to go to Jingyang Palace."

Concubine Xian Gui said in a flat tone, "In that case, you asked the people who returned to Jingyang Palace to say that this palace is a little uncomfortable today, and they will go there early tomorrow."

The queen is always like this. She regards herself as a dog in her hands, and she will come and go as she calls it. After all these years, she should be allowed to breathe.

Besides, who wants to be a dog all the time

In Jingyang Palace, after receiving the answer from Concubine Xiangui, the queen looked at the maid in front of her, and only slowly said, "Since your master is unwell, let her rest and recuperate." After finishing, he summoned Heyu, "Heyu, send some of the medicinal herbs in the library of this palace to the concubine Xiangui."

After Heyu retired, the queen said to the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground: "In addition, you go back and tell your master that you need to rest a lot, and you don't need to greet this palace tomorrow. It's the most important thing to take care of yourself."

The Queen's voice was gentle and full of concern, but the maid who was kneeling on the ground was trembling, and she didn't know what was going on.

When Heyu came back after delivering the medicinal materials, the queen leaned lazily on the couch of the imperial concubine, while two little palace maids beat her legs, and asked, "Is the concubine Xian seriously ill?"

"Returning to Niangniang, Concubine Xiangui asked the servants to tell her that her illness was not serious, and Niangniang was worried. She also said that it was the rule to ask for peace. If Niangniang cares about her, she cannot be saved." He Yu replied calmly.

"She is very polite," the queen said lightly, and then a mocking smile appeared on her face.

He Yu glanced at the queen hesitantly, "But the servants look at it, Concubine Xian Gui seems to have just returned from outside, because there are still some mud marks on her feet."

"Oh, maybe it's because I feel uncomfortable on the road." The queen closed her eyes, the smile on her face became more obvious, but it was cool.

Now that the wings are hard, how can it be so easy to fight against her
