The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 44 Who Counts Who
As the autumn tiger gradually put away his power, Princess Gui returned home to save her relatives with the honor of the royal concubine. In the dark night, the luxurious honor guard almost shone the eyes of the concubines, and the eight treasures under the canopy described Fengfengxiang sedan How many people's jealousy and envy, out of the palace gate.
Zhuangluo Roy was at the window, listening to the excitement outside the palace, he could not help but smiled, ignored the bangs in front of the forehead, and leaned his head out the window: "The moon tonight is round and bright."
Yun Xi lit the candlesticks one by one in the house, and walked behind Zhuangluo roman, with a look of caution: "Master, now it's autumn, the night is cold, the slave-servant will add a jacket to you."
"Where is there such a delicacy," Zhuang Luoyan retracted his head and smiled, "It's rare that the weather is a little cooler, you girl just asked me to add clothes."
Seeing the Master's look as usual, it seemed that he had no intention of falling in love with his family, and Yun Xi also let go of her worries.
Looking at the palace lights flashing in the breeze outside the corridor, Zhuang Luoyan seemed to sigh a little: "I have never looked at the palace moon in the past, but now I am watching it quietly, and I understand why so many poets send their love to the moon."
"The slave-maid didn't read much, but he still vaguely remembered the phrase you like most, Master Jiang Pian, who sees the moon at the beginning, and Jiang Yue at the beginning of the year.
"Life is endless from generation to generation, Jiang Yue is only similar from year to year." Zhuang Luoyan recited the following two sentences with a smile, and gently shook his head, "The moonlight is indeed beautiful, I like this poem because he is lamenting the scenery and life, Instead of sending emotions by the month.” Zhuang Luoyan said disapprovingly when he turned away from the window. “This moon is the most changeable. Comparing it to feelings, it defiles feelings.”
"Ai Fei made sense, and I thought the moon was beautiful and beautiful, but unfortunately it was too much to be sentimentally."
"The slave-servant sees the emperor," Yun Xi did not expect that the emperor would come suddenly at this moment, kneeling in panic and saluting, thinking carefully whether he and the master had said taboo words.
"The concubine had seen the emperor," Zhuang Luoyan also had a trace of surprise and joy on his face, but he didn't respond to the salute at the moment. Hearing Yun Xi's voice, he was busy to salute him.
"Ai Fei doesn't have to be so polite, it's me who is a daring lady," Feng Jin stepped forward and took Zhuang Luoru's hand in his palm. "I'm wronging Ai Fei, and Ai Fei is also somewhat talented."
Zhuang Luoyan lowered his head with shyness: "The emperor made fun of her concubine again, but she could only memorize a poem." If she didn't have a memory in her body, then she couldn't even recite the poem, and it has been in modern times for many years. Her education was put in this harem, and she was not much worse than that of illiteracy.
When a man is with his own woman, if he really only talks about poetry all night, this man is either a nerd or Liu Xiahui, and Feng Jin is obviously neither, so after talking about the stars and the moon, after talking about the poetry and poetry, still Do the right thing.
Moonlight gradually printed into the house from the window, and the whole palace fell into silence. Gao Dezhong stayed in the outer room and quietly watched the moonlight entering the house more and more, until when the time was near, an eunuch walked lightly. Come in.
"Chief executive, Shu Guifei Province returned home and said that he wanted to thank Huang En, you see this..."
Gao Dezhong looked at the inner chamber of his eyes and lowered his voice: "Sister Gui Gui is pro-labor, and the emperor has pity on his body, so he would not have to bow down to thank the gratitude today, and he will wait until tomorrow when Mrs. Shu Qi rests and rests well."
"The servant understands." The eunuch stepped back, not even dare to speak out loud.
Gao Dezhong changed his hand to the dust in his hand, and looked again at the inner room with no movement behind him. He yawned slightly, and invited the two eunuchs to wait carefully. He turned and went to his place to rest.He should have done what he had done, and he should go to sleep, otherwise he will be in trouble when a business trip occurs tomorrow.
On the second day, the emperor was sent away, and Zhuang Luolu only realized that Shu Gui returned home to save her relatives in just over two hours. She came back last night when she was not there.What kind of prosperity can be saved in such a short time, and the jealousy of a woman in the harem when returning home is really not a good thing.
But compared to those concubines who have not seen their family members for several years, Princess Gui is lucky.Fortunately, she was favored enough, and her status in the harem was high enough. If you are a concubine, I am afraid that the future life will not be too good.
Princess Shu arrived early in the morning to give gratitude to the empress, the emperor, and the queen, and then sat rosy-faced in the emperor's Jingyang Palace, waiting for the other concubines. Although she didn't see the emperor, she just tapped a head outside the palace. It does not affect her good mood. As the only concubine who was able to go home and save her relatives after the emperor ascended the throne, she has the capital for a good mood.
"Ye Shurong arrived."
Although Ye Shurong was not very favored, but because she was pregnant with the imperial heir, there was a backer backed by the queen mother, and no one dared to embarrass her in the harem.But I don't know whether it was because of miscarriage, she has been very low in recent months, even more low-key than when the empress dowager.
"I've seen the empress queen," Ye Shurong was pale, and she was wearing silk satin, but she couldn't see much of the fresh taste.Although the queen was suppressed by the Queen Mother, she had always done well on the surface and gave her a seat to chat with some of the concubines present.
"Concubine Shu came to thank you early in the morning and could be sleepy?" The queen said with concern: "There are no such rules here at this palace. If you are sleepy, go to rest early and no one will say you."
"The queen is merciful, it is the concubine's luck, and the concubine is all right." Shu Guifei had a soft smile on her face, and indeed did not see any fatigue on her face.
"You know the rules," the queen nodded. "Although the emperor didn't rest in the dormitory yesterday, you remember to knock on the head outside the prince's palace early in the morning.
"At this time, Zhao Chongyi should also come to please," Ye Shurong answered lightly, but the tone was still faint.
The Queen looked at Ye Shurong with a smile and said with a smile: "She has always been a rule, even if she has served the emperor, she came to ask for peace early."
The smile on Princess Guigui's face remained the same, and she lowered her eyelids slightly to cover up the satire in her eyes.If she really went to trouble with Zhuang Luoruo, in the end she and Zhuangluolu both suffered defeat, and she might have gotten a favored and proud name. Wasn’t it the good queen who smiled and watched the show?
"The concubine also liked Zhao Chongyi's rules," Shu Guifei looked up and smiled with a smile on her face.
"Zhao Chongyi arrives! Xianfei arrives!"
"Xian Fei and Zhao Chongyi have made an appointment." Shu Guifei added with a smile.
The queen smiled, "It's fate by chance."
When Zhuang Luoyan entered, several women in the hall were smiling like spring breezes, making them look like they were talking about interesting things with some people with very good relationships.
After Zhuang Luoru asked An to sit down, she heard Concubine Shu’s opening, “Queen Cai’s empress also praised Zhao Chongyi’s younger sister, even if she had served the emperor, she would come early to ask her for peace. No."
Zhuang Luoyan heard the words and smiled and said: "Aren't all sisters and sisters like this, the concubine is just acting according to the rules." This is something interesting for Princess Gui, but I just told her that the queen was calculating her , Or is it meant to provoke?
"It's not only the main palace that said, just Ye Shurong also mentioned Zhao Chongyi's good rules." The queen smiled, "You are good rules, everyone naturally wants to praise you."
Zhuangluo smiled shyly and slowly lowered his head.This queen is also interesting. She said everything clearly and clearly, leaving Princess Gui with nothing to say, but what did she mean by mentioning Ye Shurong?
The women in the harem are all highly intelligent businessmen.
After finishing Anjing from Jingyang Palace, Zhuang Luoru sat on the footsteps, and there were many court eunuchs who greeted each other all the way. She yawned. She exercised too much last night and seemed not sleepy enough.
"The concubine has seen Zhao Chongyi." The voice was aloof and arrogant. Zhuang Luoyan put aside his drowsiness and looked at the woman saluting herself. He was a little surprised. Isn't this Ye Shurong's sister?
Ye Shurong had a miscarriage on the same day, and her sister was tired from Shuyi to Ronghua. What secret secret Zhuang Luorong was not interested in knowing, but watching Ye Ronghua and Ye Shurong no longer have any contact, she knew that it had not happened It's that simple.
"Ye Ronghua doesn't have to pay much courtesy," Zhuang Luoru glanced at Ye Ronghua's direction. "Is Ye Ronghua going to Jingyang Palace?"
"Li Zhaozhao asked, concubine's body has been unfavorable recently, and he didn't dare to go to Jingyang Palace to harass, but just listened to the chrysanthemum blooming in the imperial garden, so he thought about going to see it." Ye Ronghua and Zhuangluo did not have much contact, naturally There wasn't much hatred, so although she answered Zhuang Luoru's question a little stiffly, there was nothing rude.
"At this time, the chrysanthemums are indeed blooming well. Ye Ronghua likes to take a walk around, but he is still unhappy and pays more attention, otherwise it would be unbearable to drink the bitter medicine soup." Zhuangluo said with a smile, " Then I won't bother you."
"Zhao Chongyi walks slowly." Ye Ronghua stood on the spot, watching Zhuangluo roaming away, and then withdrawn his face without expression.
"Master, Ye Shurong is here." The maiden next to Ye Ronghua looked forward and whispered.
Ye Ronghua looked at the front with a sneer and sarcastically said: "She has done everything, even the emperor's heart is not counted, and I don't know who is more pitiful than others." After that, he turned and walked to the side path, there were even more Not willing to glance at it.
