Not long after, Jiang Zhen dressed neatly and supported Yingying with Guizhi into the side hall. The concubines and concubines immediately stood up and bowed their knees, respectfully saying in unison, "The Queen's concubine is blessed and safe."
Jiang Zhen was dressed in the queen's uniform, with only a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on Feifeng's bun, which was simple but elegant. A pair of delicate and fair hands rested on Guizhi's hands, and the nails were transparent and round, unlike Nowadays, the concubines and concubines in the palace are dyed with various colors of cardamom juice, not even the beautiful tortoiseshells. Although they are extremely simple and simple, they are even more graceful and luxurious among the concubines and concubines dressed in different styles.
"My sisters, please come, they are all sisters, so don't be so polite." Jiang Zhen sat on the throne slowly, holding a string of Buddha beads in her right hand, leaning slightly on the pillow, her hair as black as ink, her skin as white as snow, and the corners of her mouth were gentle. A decent smile.
"Many thanks to the Empress." The concubines returned to their seats after thanking them.
After everyone was seated, the vacant seat under the Queen's seat was particularly conspicuous, Jiang Zhen glanced at it out of the corner of the eye and moved away, smiling slightly: "The summer is hot, but the younger sisters look better and better, only Ben Gong Always sly, it seems that Ben Gong is really old."
As she spoke, she yawned while covering her mouth with her spa.
"Niangniang is at a young age, how can she be old, she should be serving the emperor, so she is not in good spirits." Concubine Hui said with a smile.
When she said this, Jiang Zhen thought of the difficult breakfast in the morning again, frowned with a headache, and shook her head with a smile: "The emperor has someone to serve him, so what's the use of this palace? It's just that the emperor is afraid of disturbing you. For the good dreams of my sisters, I came to this palace for breakfast."
The concubines thanked the emperor and the empress for their sympathy. As for what they thought in their hearts, it was uncertain.
At this moment, the voice of Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, came from the gate of the palace: "Concubine Gao is here—"
After a while, Gao Baoxi walked in gracefully. She wore a flowing cloud bun, a phoenix hairpin was shining in the jewelry on her head, and a peach-colored pleated skirt was slightly dragged to the ground. The pearls and gold threads on the skirt complemented each other. , the action is very eye-catching.
Everyone saluted each other, and after taking their seats, Gao Baoxi said lazily while admiring her newly made nails: "I'm really sorry, Empress, my concubine snooze for a while, and I missed the time to greet you."
How could Jiang Zhen not hear that Gao Baoxi wanted to show her face in front of the concubines, this was not the first time she had done it, she just smiled sweetly at the moment: "It's better if it's too late, I also have something to delay today. For a while, less than a quarter of an hour earlier than my sister."
The smile on Gao Baoxi's mouth stopped for a while, and after a few breaths, she said half-doubtedly, "Oh, is it?"
Jiang Zhen was noncommittal, but the noble concubine who had been robbed by Gao Baoxi to serve the night, laughed mockingly: "Why, the concubine doesn't know, this morning, the emperor went to the empress's palace for dinner, I heard that it was still The empress was feeding the emperor with her own hands, and now it has spread throughout the palace."
Gao Baoxi's face suddenly turned ashen, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhen who was in the main seat, and her heart was filled with jealousy.
I really underestimated this Jiang Zhen, the emperor who was actually hooked was the first to see her after leaving government affairs, and I don't know what ecstasy this fox gave the emperor!
In terms of appearance, I don't need to be much different from her. I don't need to be in the same league because of their family background. Why should I lower her head
"...To say, there are so many beauties in the Daqi harem, the emperor's favorite is the empress's wife. I really envy the concubine."
While thinking, the concubine Xiangui was still chattering, Gao Baoxi's face was gloomy, and the more she listened, the more angry she became. Seeing the concubine Xiangui opened her mouth, she sarcastically said: "What is there to envy, serving tea and pouring water, cloth dishes and soup, that is The work of the palace maids and eunuchs, we just need to be good concubines of the emperor, and we will be condescending to do anything."
Speaking of the latter, the implied meaning in her words couldn't be clearer.
Everyone in the hall looked so familiar with this. The queen and the concubine seemed to be at odds with each other from birth. From the first day of entering the palace, no matter what, the concubine could get involved with the queen. The queen always laughed it off, no matter what the concubine used. No matter what conspiracy and tricks, the queen can always retreat, and sometimes even hit back.
The noble concubine also knew that the imperial concubine said this to the empress, but she still said it to herself on the bright side. Those who didn't know it thought that she was scolded by the imperial concubine and didn't dare to retaliate!
Being disgraced, and this is an enemy again, looking at Concubine Gao's proud face, the noble concubine's mind became hot, and she blurted out: "This is wrong what the concubine sister said, the concubine heard that it was not only the empress who fed it herself. After the emperor, the emperor also personally fed the empress, this visit is for fun, how can I ask this grand harem, who else has this honor except the empress?"
Everyone was amazed when they heard the words. Although many people had already received the news, they still had to pretend.
Jiang Zhen took a small sip of tea, smiled and accepted everyone's compliments, both true and false.
Of course, except for Concubine Gao, her heart was raging at this time, her chest was slightly ups and downs, her pretty face was gloomy, and the cold eyes shot straight at the noble concubine, looking at her proud smile, her eyes gleamed. She blinked, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said leisurely: "The noble concubine knows a lot, and you want to come to the harem to have a lot of eyeliner, right?"
"Don't spit your blood!" The noble concubine's face turned pale, she glared at Gao Baoxi and said something fierce, then hurriedly turned her head and knelt down and said, "Empress Empress, even if I give my concubine a hundred bear galls, the concubines will not dare to monitor them. Every move of the emperor and the queen is well known to everyone in the harem, and the concubines have also heard about it.
"Come here, Zhangzui!" Concubine Gao snorted coldly, "The noble concubine has committed a crime and dared to say that this palace slandered her. Everyone here heard it. I don't know what happened in the queen's palace, but she said it. Honestly, Ben Gong's suspicions are reasonable."
Gao Baoxi's palace maid responded and stepped forward in two steps. The hall was silent. Seeing that the slap was about to be slapped on the face of the noble concubine, Jiang Zhen slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Stop! Who dares to be presumptuous! This is the Kunning Palace of this palace, are you all going to rebel!"
Everyone was startled, and immediately knelt down and shouted "don't dare". The big palace maid also knelt down after being fooled, and only quietly turned to look at Gao Baoxi.
Gao Baoxi's mood has calmed down at this time. She lazily followed the blessing of the body, but she remembered her mother's advice in her mind. Her father had just been taken over, and it was really not suitable for him to fall out with Jiang Zhen at this juncture.
Thinking like this, she turned her head to the side almost invisible, and the big palace maid retreated back.
"Let's be flat, Concubine Xiangui, get up too, this palace believes in your character." Jiang Zhen raised her hand, waited for Concubine Xiangui to thank you and sat down, then took a sip of tea before saying lightly, " They are all my sisters, so little things are worth making a fuss about. The emperor is busy with government affairs. He came to the harem to find some peace, not to listen to your intrigue. When the emperor left today, he said that he wanted the harem. Dress up and see if you can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor."
"Follow the mother's teachings." Everyone respectfully said, the eyebrows were full of joy, even Gao Baoxi, who was aloof, was overjoyed to hear the words. After nearly half a month, the emperor finally set foot in the harem again.
After chatting for about a cup of tea time, everyone who had no idea where they were going to get up and left, and they had to plan carefully when they got such precious news.
Looking at the figures of the people leaving, Jiang Zhen rubbed her forehead impatiently. I don't know which ancestor set the rules for this please. It's really asking for hardships.
Gui Zhi stepped forward and gently massaged Jiang Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "Is your maiden tired, do you want to go back to the palace to rest?"
Jiang Zhen glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window and said, "Let's go for a walk in Xiyuan Lianhua Lake, just in time to pick some lotus seeds and come back to make cakes."
…
Xi Helan didn't need to say goodbye, she only woke up from sleep until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, she heard Wenqing talk about the breakfast between the queen and the emperor, and even knew the emperor's decision to favor the harem.
She almost bit her silver teeth and couldn't believe what she heard.
Xi Helan couldn't figure it out, how could he be so affectionate with others in the blink of an eye
What is the life of a couple, all are deceitful nonsense, in this world, the most unbelievable is the sweet words of men.
Although she has never believed in a man's promise, she is not reconciled!
She has the beauty of the country's beauty, she is considerate, gentle and virtuous, and she is also talented and intelligent, but she still can't catch the heart of a man. This stallion is a big scumbag. I don't care about you!
"Don't be sad, noble, it's not worth it if you're angry, the emperor likes you so much and didn't feed each other, how could you be with the queen..." Wen Qing looked at the master's unpleasant face, brushed her hair in a bun, and said flatteringly .
"Shut up." Xihelan shouted sharply, "You go out, I want to be alone by myself."
"Yes." Wen Qing was taken aback and exited the room tremblingly.
Xi Helan looked at her blurred face in the bronze mirror. This face was very beautiful, but it was very unfamiliar. She stroked the bronze mirror and drew it carefully, thinking of herself in her previous life involuntarily.
Her parents divorced since she was a child, and she lived with her mother hard, so her character was very strong and her self-esteem was very high, but she was so ugly that she was bullied and laughed at since she was a child.
He finally grew up and got married, but the scumbag didn't take long to have an extramarital affair. Not only did he eat and use his own with the shameless little 3er, but he also laughed at her for being rude and ugly. She slaughtered them both and committed suicide. I thought she would definitely die, but who knew that the sky would not kill her, let her rebirth through rebirth, and gave her the most important golden finger - the system that can be upgraded to become a queen.
Therefore, she doesn't care about the emperor's favor. A group of women circle around a man all day, fighting to the death for a man who likes to fight. It's really stupid.
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help showing a look of contempt.
What Xihelan wants is power and power, and she wants to be the Wu Zetian of this time and space!
She wants to change this backward and pedantic dynasty, she wants to build an equal and free country, and she wants to become the first queen of the ages!
Just when she was about to raise money, a familiar voice sounded in her ear: [The host has not completed the side mission 3, and withdraws the "pulse and affectionate eyes". ]
As soon as the words fell, Xi Helan saw that the eyes in the bronze mirror, which were still about to speak, were instantly eclipsed, which made her heart hurt.
At the same time, Xie Fei returned to the Jinluan Hall. The civil and military officials below had been kneeling for more than an hour. The officials in the hall were better. Those outside the hall were already sweating, their clothes were sweaty, and they were miserable.
"I'll give you two more days. In two days, I want to see an effective and good plan. It's not a cookie-cutter open warehouse. If there is no one to offer a plan, I will choose another virtuous person." He waved his hand. , Zhang Dezi hurriedly stepped forward to announce his retreat.
Zuo Xiang limped out of the Golden Palace and walked towards the gate of the palace. He saw Aunt Jiang in the distance. She was waiting there anxiously. After seeing Zuo Xiang, she quickly stepped forward to help her.
On the other hand, Xie Fei went to the imperial study after retreating from the imperial court, and ordered Zhang Dezi not to allow anyone to disturb him, then he sat in front of the desk, took out a pen and paper to sort out the effective strategies for flood control that he knew in his mind. When you are busy, you forget the time.
…
After taking a walk, Jiang Zhen was in a much better mood. The little palace maids who were smiling and smiling behind her were carrying wet baskets in which were filled with sparkling lotus seeds, which shone like pearls in the sun.
In the entire harem, except for Jiang Zhen and Xi Helan, the concubines of each palace were very busy, and they sent people to guard on the road that the emperor must pass, and they chose clothes and jewelry, and vowed to dress up. The harem was outrageously lively.
However, everyone waited from morning to night, the palace maids and eunuchs changed several batches, and the concubines also sweated because of the heat, and changed their underwear several times. , Xie Fei finally entered the harem slowly and slowly in the golden luan.
When the concubines heard it, they didn't care that their clothes were not yet neatly dressed, and they went out one after another while the maids who were close to them arranged their appearances. However, the emperor looked at the beauties who were kneeling down, but he just said lightly, "All love concubines are flat", and then In the eyes of everyone's expectation, he ordered to go to Kunning Palace.
The concubines walked back angrily, but saw Concubine Gao sitting in a chair to stop the emperor, and they all stayed to see whether the concubine was superior or the empress was more favored.
It can be seen that Gao Baoxi has specially dressed up. She is wearing a begonia red dress with lotus flowers, the most beautiful bun nowadays, wearing a few Begonia hairpins of the same color, her red lips are slightly raised, and her eyes are rolling. The time was charming and ambiguous, the long eyelashes blinked, and the misty water revealed a touch of sadness and hope.
Gao Baoxi leaned on the handle of the chair and came to the Jinluan. She was softly blessed, and she pouted and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to your concubine's Changle Palace for half a month. The flowers and trees in the yard are all I almost forgot about you."
Xie Fei laughed twice and said, "I will definitely come here when I have time, but not today."
"Why?" Gao Baoxi stomped his feet reluctantly, "Didn't the emperor just go to Kunning Palace this morning, why..."
"Well?" Xie Fei hummed in a low voice, Gao Baoxi immediately stopped, but looked at him with aggrieved eyes, Xie Fei continued, "I will see you another day, go back."
"Yes, my concubine will send off the emperor." Gao Baoxi reluctantly blessed her body, until the emperor was far away, turned around and sat on the chair, bit her lips and beat the armrest, her red lips lightly parted, and she popped out with gritted teeth. A few words - Jiang Zhen, just wait and see!
Seeing that Jin Luan was still heading towards the Kunning Palace, this group of concubines who were also rejected instantly became happy. The noble concubine who was more powerful and beautiful than himself could not invite the emperor, so he had nothing to be ashamed of.
In such a short period of time, the news that Concubine Gao stopped the holy car halfway and was slapped in the face spread all over the harem like a wind, and it became everyone's gossip after dinner. People who were persecuted by Concubine Gao were of course very excited, but more concubines were. feel stressed.
Empress, you really have the Sacred Heart, the three thousand in the harem can be said to be the only one who has been favored.
In the Kunning Palace, Jiang Zhen had washed up early. At this time, she was leaning on the soft couch wearing a simple thin shirt, and she was flipping through a book in one hand. Perhaps it was because she had just taken a shower, and her fair cheeks were not wearing makeup. With a slight blush and a wet blue hair, Guizhi gently wiped the water behind her with a handkerchief.
When Xie Fei entered the house quietly, he saw such a leisurely scene.
When Gui Zhi and the others saw the emperor, they were startled, and immediately Fushen was about to speak. Xie Fei quickly signaled everyone to keep silent, and waved them out while reaching for the handkerchief in Gui Zhi's hand.
Although Jiang Zhen looked at the book, what was in her mind was the flood that Aunt Jiang said. She was also worried about the emperor's acceptance of her father's rights, but she did not agree with her father's threat to the emperor. It is the people of Limin who suffer. Their families have been destroyed and displaced, and it is hard enough. They should not add pain and misfortune to them, nor should they torture them with the mistakes of the emperor.
It is true that water can carry a boat and capsize it. Using the riots of the disaster victims is indeed a faster way to threaten the emperor and regain his rights, but if this water is not inexhaustible , even this water can flow elsewhere.
If a country loses its people and its people, then the country will not be a country.
In the harem, intrigue and intrigue in court, all people see is grace, status, power, money... The hardships and sufferings of the people at the bottom who defend their families and protect the country and work hard, no one thinks about them. This is really a big deal. of sorrow.
I, Jiang Zhen, could not persuade my stubborn father to step back, nor could I persuade the emperor to let go of power after he was in vain for a country...
Closing her eyes, Jiang Zhen sighed deeply, her graceful Liu Mei frowned tightly, put down the scroll, clasped the Buddha beads with both hands and made a wish.
Xie Fei leaned down slightly, brought her thin lips to her small ear, and asked in a low voice, "What is the queen sighing, and what is she wishing for, maybe I can satisfy the queen."
Hearing the emperor's voice suddenly, Jiang Zhen was startled, turned her head and stared blankly at the person who came. After a while, she got up in a panic and saluted: "My concubine joined the emperor, I didn't know the emperor was coming. , there is a breach of etiquette, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."
"The queen doesn't need to be too polite." Xie Fei held the handkerchief behind him in one hand, helped Jiang Zhen up with the other, and held onto her hand, "It's cold at night, the queen should wear more clothes to avoid dyeing. Upwind and cold."
Saying that, Xie Fei threw the handkerchief away, took the cloak on the side and put it on Jiang Zhen, and carefully tied the belt.
The distance between the two was very close, Jiang Zhen lowered her head slightly, and could feel the warm breath gently blowing on her forehead, and a pair of large palms with thin calluses slowly tied the belt around her neck.
It was only a few short breaths, but Jiang Zhen felt as if a long time had passed, so long that she couldn't help but secretly glanced at the person in front of her.
He lowered his eyes, staring at his neck earnestly, his long and thick black eyelashes blinked twice, there was a little sweat on the bridge of his tall nose, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.
Jiang Zhen's heart became unsatisfactory and panicked. She calmed down, took a step back with the cloak, and pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, the concubine, come by yourself."
Xie Fei froze for a moment, raised his brows slightly, coughed lowly with his fist against his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "This is the first time I have done this kind of thing, and it is a bit ugly. It will look good."
Jiang Zhen's hands were about to be re-linked, and when she looked up, she saw that the emperor seemed to be blushing. The dark eyes that were dodging her eyes were full of anticipation. She was awkward and cute. The corners of her mouth raised a faint smile that she didn't even notice. Rubbing the belt, he slowly smiled and said, "The concubine thinks that the emperor's style is very good-looking."
Xie Fei was overjoyed when he heard the words, a slight smile crossed his eyes, stepped forward and pulled Jiang Zhen's hand gently and slowly rubbing it, the room was quiet for a while, and neither of them spoke.
There was only the occasional sizzling sound of candles in the room. Jiang Zhen felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. If it weren't for the strength from her hands, she would have suspected that the two of them had been acupuncture.
only…
How long will she have to squeeze her hands, her skin will be torn!
Ah, my legs are sore from standing, can I sit down and squeeze slowly
While thinking about it, Jiang Zhen lowered her head and looked around, and suddenly felt that the handkerchief that the emperor had just left on the couch was very familiar, and a guess came up in her heart. After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty Why did you come suddenly, without saying a word, and startled the concubine."
"It's the Queen who's absent-minded. I even dried your hair and didn't realize it." Xie Fei curved his lips, and there was a hint of amusement in his voice.
Sure enough, it's my fault that I think things are too fascinated.
Xie Fei looked at her annoyed bulging face, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, and changed the subject: "The queen hasn't answered my previous question, what are you sighing and what are you wishing?"
Jiang Zhen was stunned, and then blinked: "Chen concubine... sigh? I don't seem to remember."
"Playing stupid with me?" Xie Fei pulled the man into his arms and hugged him, raised her chin with the other hand, and looked at her close, only to see her eyes dodging, and then he smiled in a low voice Get up, "If you don't want to tell me, I just don't ask. It's late at night, wait for me to change and rest."
Jiang Zhen was startled and looked at him in disbelief: "Is the emperor talking to his concubine?"
"Of course, is it possible that there is a third person here?" Xie Fei said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, holding her hand to the side of the bed, showing his hands, waiting for her to serve.
Jiang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then her face turned red. Because it was the first time she was undressing for someone else, she was very unfamiliar, and she took off a coat for a long time. Xie Fei looked at the small head on her chest, and her eyes were full of bright eyes. With a smile, after a long while, he slowly raised his hand and put it on hers, leading her to unbutton her belt and buttons little by little.
"It seems that the queen is also the first time. I will practice more in the future." Xie Fei bowed his head slightly, and his deep voice sounded in Jiang Zhen's ear.
Jiang Zhen's already blushing face turned red, her head drooped even lower, and through the thin inner shirt, the scorching temperature of Xie Fei's chest came from her fingertips, and her heart was a little chaotic.
Is this man really the emperor
How could the emperor be like this
Why does her heart beat so fast
…
A whole bunch of questions were circling in Jiang Zhen's mind, and when she came to her senses, the two of them were already embracing each other on the intricately carved and luxurious bed.
The author has something to say:
