The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 43
The matter of the prosperity of Shu Guifei is not a secret in the harem, and the Su family is not a first-class ancestor in the Chaotang, but because of the prosperity of the Emperor Teng Shugui, the officials in the Chaotang made the Su family a little bit more. Be careful.
Although the former harem is often unable to communicate with each other, sometimes it is involved constantly, and it is more serious.
Recently, the Zhao family was somewhat disgraced in the Chaotang. The niece of the Sun family who had a good relationship with him had assaulted the daughter of the banker who was favored by the emperor. The Sun family was accused, and the Zhao family also got a cold eye from the Holy Family; now they have been suppressed The daughter of the Su family was also kissed by Emperor Tern. This way, he really made his Zhao family lose ground.
Everyone in the harem saw that the queen had lost her face and wondered whether the queen would find Zhao Chongyi in trouble. After all, if it were not for Zhao Chongyi, the queen would not be so embarrassed.It is a pity that the queen has not been doing impulsive things for many years in the harem. During this period, in addition to sending people to ask Zhao Chongyi for his body, he also rewarded a lot of nourishing things, and showed his virtue as a queen to the fullest. Those who watched the lively were a little disappointed.
The day of the concubine's marriage is scheduled for the sixth day of next month. During this period, some concubines of the lower ranks stepped forward to please, while the other concubines were not cold-eyed, but they had nothing to do with them.
Zhuang Luoru looked at the movements in the palace in recent days, and somehow remembered the content of the provincial governor in a masterpiece of the previous life, and looked at the scenery, but it was the last struggle after the prosperity.In recent days, the emperor's attitude towards the queen has not changed much compared with the past, but if she asked Princess Shu to go home and save her family, the queen would not believe it if she did not have any pimples in her heart.
In this harem, every woman is a pitiful person, even if the hands are covered with blood, it is not really vicious.They are all victims of the family. They spend their lives in exchange for stability or glory for the family. Even if they go deep into the harem, they will always be petty, and the scenery is infinite.
"It's a pity," Zhuang Luoyan raised her head and sighed, blowing out the tea stalks on the surface of the water. There should be not many concubines like her who don't have much psychological burden. These beautiful beauties like flowers and jade clocks are so wasteful. A man is really wasted.If placed in the previous life, how many other same-sex curses would such a man suffer?
"Master, the Queen's lady sent her to a chrysanthemum crab dinner at the Royal Garden at noon, and you are invited to attend the banquet." Ting Zhu walked into the house and saw the master sitting by the bed, meditating with a tea cup, reporting When the voice was involuntarily lowered a lot, "Many masters in the palace were invited, and the slave-servant also heard that if the emperor had finished handling the affairs, he might also come over."
"At this time, enjoy the chrysanthemum and crabs?" Zhuang Luoru glanced at the sunshine outside the window. This is not the time when the chrysanthemums are blooming right, nor the best time to eat crabs. What does it mean for the queen to get this?
"The crabs at this time are not fat enough, they should still lack some heat, and they are also delicious. I want to eat really delicious hairy crabs, I am afraid it will have to wait a month or two." Tingzhu smiled and changed the vase. The dried flowers turned to look at the dull expression of Zhuangluo rouge. "But the crabs can't be eaten more at this time. The master should avoid it even if he likes it. It's troublesome to eat too much to make the stomach."
But is it greedy for something new, not too much?
Zhuang Luo roared with a chuckle, put down the teacup in his hand, and picked up the fan beside him, and slowly shook it: "Then I still have to take care of it, and tell the people in the palace to get ready to walk. When should I go, go."
It's not easy to be a queen. Queen Sui has been in the limelight in the harem in recent days. She used this banquet to warn some concubines in the harem who are swaying. She is favored again. That's just a concubine. Is the real master of the harem.
The woman in the harem may not necessarily care whether the emperor loves her the most, but she will certainly care about her status as the empress in this palace. The recent limelight of Princess Gui makes her a little dissatisfied.
This banquet is only afraid of warning the concubine Shu, but the emperor will still attend. The emperor is really afraid that the harem is not chaotic. At this time, he will support the queen again.
When Zhuang Luoru arrived at the Royal Garden, it was not too early or late, but the queen had arrived as the ruler. She stepped forward to salute. The queen was very gentle with her and arranged a good position for her to show that she was in The harem is "reused".
Later, concubines arrived in twos and threes, and Concubine Shu and Su Xiuyi arrived relatively late.Concubine Shu was wearing a peach red dress, her face was as delicate as peach blossoms, and there were concubines who were younger than Concubine Shu. There was only the word bleak to describe.
"The concubine has seen the empress queen, and the concubine is late. Please ask the queen empress to forgive her sins." Concubine Shu seems to have always been this way, gentle and elegant, and it makes people feel like an infinitely beautiful woman at a glance, even if she comes late This does not make other people think that she is a little negligent. Such people seem to be born with a pleasant taste, so that people who do not know the truth will consciously apply beautiful words to her.
Zhuang Luoru knows that such a woman is terrible, with a beautiful appearance, elegant posture, low birth background, brain and wrist, and good at forbearance. A woman such as Princess Shu must not be convicted unless necessary. It is a thorny and painful thing for women to be enemies.
"Sister Gui was busy recently, and it was normal to come a little late, not to mention that the palace came earlier," the queen smiled and asked Princess Sui to sit down, and then turned to the eunuch beside him, "Since Princess Sui and Su Xiuyi have already Come, let's have a banquet."
Doesn't this imply that everyone present, the banquet has been dragged up to now because of Princess Gui and Su Xiuyi?The queen is good at pulling hatred to the two Su family sisters.
Although this is not the season when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the pot of precious chrysanthemums put out makes Zhuangluo a little interested in it. Since the queen said it is a chrysanthemum, she should not waste the queen’s pains. No.
Although the procedure of eating crab meat is complicated, but everyone in the room can use it yourself. Zhuangluo Roo eats a crystal crab bag that is not much bigger than his thumb, and feels a bit greasy. Then he took a chrysanthemum tea and rinsed his mouth. Next to it are all kinds of chrysanthemums.
"The emperor is here!"
Taking the opportunity to get up and move around the stomach, after Zhuangluo's salute was over, she saw the empress and the two of them sat down together. She unconsciously glanced at Princess Gui Gui on the other side, seeing that her smile was still the same as usual. It's so open.
"Every concubine doesn't have to pay much courtesy. Today, I don't want to come here, but the queen has a hard time. I can't bear to waste the queen's heart in vain," he said, picking up a crab bag and putting it in the queen's dishes. in.
All the concubines saw the situation and immediately said that the queen was hard and the banquet was very rich.
"If Sister Zhao Chongyi doesn't like this crab dumpling, you can try this steamed egg of crab meat, which is tender and not greasy, and I want to meet my sister's appetite." After the banquet continued for a while, sitting on the top of Zhuangluo Ro Xu Zhaorong smiled and said softly, "The dishes are cooked and piled up, and the orange paste sauce can be tasted. The ruby is opened in a bucket, and the cheeks are scented out. The sister is so delicious, don't disappoint your sister."
Zhuang Luoru was slightly stunned by Xu Zhaorong’s sudden poems, but he quickly reacted and saw that the emperor and the queen had noticed the movements here and laughed: "The crab meat is extremely delicious, but the chrysanthemum is also beautiful. My sister only looked at the flowers for a while, but forgot to eat the table full of food." After that, he got up and blessed himself in the direction of the emperor and the empress. "The chrysanthemum stand prepared by the empress’s empress is beautiful. , Only to appreciate the chrysanthemum, but forgot the table full of delicious crab meat.
"It's rare that you are so delicious that you only have to look at the flowers. It can be seen how beautiful these chrysanthemums prepared by the queen. Even the cheesy people like Zhao Chongyi who only know how to eat also forget to eat." Feng Jin smiled a little on the spot. , And rewarded the queen a lot.Turning around and seeing Zhuang Luoyan seem to be embarrassed, he laughed, "The queen will remember to give this layman some food to take away, so she won't feel ashamed when she thinks of eating. ."
There is no other meaning to this, but listening carefully, it makes people feel that the relationship between the Queen and Zhao Chongyi is very harmonious.
Concubine Shu looked at the queen and the emperor with a smile, and quickly lowered her head with a smile.
Everyone understood that the emperor indicated to everyone that the queen was still the master of the harem, and Sun Ronghua and Zhao Chongyi had already been revealed, and they should not be involved in the queen in the future.
There are no stupid women in the harem, everyone understands it, and the emperor Feng Jin also understands.The empress was in a good mood, and the banquet naturally went on smoothly, and Zhuang Luoru, who was teased by the emperor, was not a shame in the eyes of everyone, but made a big face.
The emperor knew that Zhao Chongyi loved food, and it was obvious how much he was still interested in it. In the future, she would be more polite. Don’t know why she was in trouble.
But this is only the case, because there are other more favored concubines, such as Zhuangluo rouge, at most be favored, not a holy pet.
Perhaps only Gao Dezhong, who is standing in the corner, understands that the emperor’s few words today not only protect the dignity of the empress in the harem, but also...
After seeing the most eye-catching Zhuangluo among the concubines, a concubine with a high status standing on the top of the wind and waves was not a good thing, not to mention that the seal also involved the former dynasty and the main palace.
