The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 83
In people's impression, although the peacock is not as prestigious and beautiful as the phoenix, it is also beautiful. Therefore, although the concubine in the harem did not dare to use the phoenix pattern for decoration objects or uppers, it can be replaced with a peacock.
The color of the peacock tail presented is very bright, although the brushwork is strange, but it gives a strange and stunning feeling. The clear edges and exaggerated lines are very different from the painting methods of other concubines in the palace. The only way to paint strangely is Zhao Xianrong of Xihe Temple.
"Emperor, this paper kite peacock tail is painted with good damask on the ground of Shu, and it was promoted after October last year. The concubine has already checked. There are only eight concubines in these damask harems, except for Rou Fei, Xu Zhaorong, and Ning Fei Gong. There are still left inside, and other palaces are worn out." The queen watched the peacock tail calmly before Ning Fei. "You can't find anything from the fabric alone."
There was some reaction from the crowd at this moment. The queen wanted to take advantage of today's situation to check the matter, and these concubines were all present and no one could run away.
The emperor's eyebrows moved, "Since nothing can be found from the fabric, start elsewhere." After that, he looked at Ning Fei, "Ning Fei, look at this painting."
"Emperor..." Ning Fei hesitated to pick up the painting and looked at it for a long time, frowning slightly. Is it true that the concubine did not know who made this painting, but in terms of strokes, it is not the same as Zhao Xianrong two."
Princess Gui looked at the peacock tail with a smile, "Ning Fei Ning knows what Zhao Xianrong's style is like?"
"Zhao Xianrong drew a palace lantern by himself on the first Yuan Festival. His concubine was present that day, so she looked at it twice." Ning Fei put down the peacock tail and stared at Sui Guifei. forget?"
Princess Gui smiled and stopped talking.
"The lady's eyesight and memory are very bad, and the concubine is not enough," Zhuang Luoyan reached out and took the peacock tail. "The paint used for this peacock tail is the same as the concubine. If the paper kite was not painted by the concubine herself, just be afraid The concubine can't tell the difference between true and false."
"Emperor, the concubine's misconceptions not only harmed Ye Guiren's life, but also made concubine Ping injustice. Please ask the emperor to get a fair return for the concubine." Zhuang Luoyan's eyes were reddish. I'm afraid the emperor believes in the schemes of the malicious people. If this is the case, if this is the case..." The words here are so choked with speechlessness.
The emperor stepped forward and took her slightly cold hand, "I know you, I have made people investigate this matter for a few days, and will not let you bear this grievance in vain."
Concubine Shu looked at this scene and looked away. The smile on the corner of her mouth lightened a little, and she said: "In the past, only Ning Fei's painting skills were good, but today she knows that Ning Fei's eyesight is also very good. It’s rare to see the palace lantern several steps away and to see Zhao Xianrong’s style."
Ning Fei's face remained unchanged, "The concubine doesn't know what the concubine is."
"This palace doesn't mean anything," Concubine Shu didn't look at Concubine Ning. She only blessed the emperor. "The emperor, the concubine has nothing to do."
"No harm," Feng Jin held Zhuang Luoru's hand and looked at Princess Gui, "You are nothing but a heartless word, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Sister Gui Gui is too careful. In the past, Princess Fei and Lin Pang also had a few arguments because of some unintentional words, aren't they also good sisters now?" The queen suddenly mentioned Princess Fei and Lin Peng, who had been reduced from Yuan Fei to Wife, "Rou Fei, are you saying this?"
Rou Fei stepped forward to salute and replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother, the concubine and the sister-in-law are all harem sisters. Where do you feel guilty because of a word. What do you say, Lin?"
Lin Pengpi blessed her body with a smile but not a smile, "The Lady Feifei said rightly."
Feng Jin seemed to think of something, looked at Lin Bin, and turned to Ning Fei: "I remember Lin Bin often drinking tea and playing chess with you in the past."
"The emperor still remembers the last little things of the concubines," Ning Fei said with a smile: "In the Ruan Ming Palace where Lin Peng originally lived, there was a Begonia flower that the concubine liked, so I went to sit there in my spare time. Lin Pian's chess skills are good , The concubine played chess with her, and nine out of ten games lost."
"It's true, Lin Peng's chess skills are not as good as I am," Feng Jin took Zhuang Luoyan to sit down, but his attention was focused on Ning Fei and Lin Peng. You have played chess."
Ning Fei smiled, "The concubine recently helped the Queen Mother to assist in housework, and she hasn't played chess with Lin Lin's sister for some days."
Zhuang Luoru listened to Ning Fei and the emperor remembering the past, buried his head and watched his hand held by the emperor, and then controlled the hand to tremble a little, and the emperor increased her strength.
The turning point of things has become a bit strange. Why is it that Peacock Tail becomes a memory of the past?
Princess Gui looked at this scene with cold eyes, Ning Fei had always been this empathetic appearance in front of the emperor, so the emperor also loved to talk to Ning Fei, as to whether Ning Fei was really as considerate as she was, she was only her own understood.
After Lin Lin was demoted, the emperor never turned over her brand. Now the emperor suddenly paid attention to her. There was a little more joy on her face, just a look at the person being held by the emperor. Disappear.No concubine will like opponents related to his downgrade.
Zhuang Luoyan noticed Lin's eyes, bent her lips and smiled at Lin, and then retracted her eyes, as if she didn't see the gloom in Lin's eyes.
"Talking with Ning Fei is always easy," Feng Jin smiled and patted Zhuang Luoru's hand. It seemed that he meant to stop Ning Fei. "I also like to talk to you more often."
"It's a concubine's pleasure to make the emperor half relaxed and happy," Ning Fei smiled.
"I also think so, so I told you a lot of things, such as some small tricks that I watched when I was young, such as... burning a blue fire with phosphorus, and for example telling you that the flying paper kite was Zhao Xianrong's own hand The picture drawn." Feng Jin calmly let go of Zhuang Luoyan's hand and took a sip of tea from the table. "Now, I feel that talking to you is not an easy task."
"Emperor," Ning Fei changed her face. "Are you doubting the concubine?"
Feng Jin didn't go to see Ning Fei, she put down the tea ceremony and said, "Come here, bring Lu Yi."
After Lvyi was brought half-dragged, Feng Jin said blankly: "I remember that Ning Fei once pleaded for a court lady who clashed with me, but this person?"
"Emperor, things are too long, the concubine can't remember," Ning Fei looked at the emperor calmly, "If the emperor doubts the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say, but please don't give the concubine because of a concubine who doesn't remember the concubine. conviction."
"Ning Fei is good at painting, and all the paint brushes in your palace are the best. Even the paint in your palace is specially reserved for you by the Zhongzhong province," Feng Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Fei. "If it weren't for the concubines to paint together today, I still don't remember this matter. Since you are innocent, let people experience it, or give you a clean innocence." Artist to identify.
The paint in the Ning Fei Palace was taken over and placed in the same place as the peacock tail. The painter soon concluded that the paint of the peacock tail was the same as that in the Ning Fei Palace.
Ning Fei's eyes widened in disbelief. "The emperor, the concubine didn't know about it. The paint concubine in the palace was not deliberately picked up. Someone stole the concubine's paint specifically to do this..."
"You don't even know that these paints were specially prepared by you. How do others know?" Feng Jin lowered his voice. "You have a good relationship with Lin Peng, Lin Ping and Rou Fei have a gap, Lin Peng. There is also an old complaint with Zhao Xianrong, so the maiden in the lotus pond outside Xihe Palace that day will be the person in the Roufei Palace!
Ning Fei's feet softened and overturned the paint in front of her. The paint poured over her, but she looked at the emperor as if she didn't know. "Is the emperor convicted the concubine only by this guess?"
"Whether you did it, you must be clearer than me," the emperor looked at Ning Fei's embarrassed appearance, and there was no extra expression on her face, "Sui Gui Fei said well, who else can imitate the means in this harem?" ?"
Hearing the emperor's words, Ning Fei suddenly smiled. She looked up, her face was still covered with tears, "Yes, who else in the harem's paintings is better than me, but even so, the emperor remains With Zhao Xianrong's palace lantern on the countertop!"
Zhuang Luoru seemed to be frightened by the roar of Ning Fei, and his hands shook again. Feng Jin reached out and held her hand again. "There are many palace lanterns left in me, not only Zhao Xianrong. of."
"There is not only the palace lantern of Zhao Xianrong, but also the concubine Shu, the concubine, the many concubines," Ning Fei laughed while crying. "The emperor also raised a lot of people before the concubine. Fei Fei, Su Xiuyi, Yan Guipin, Zhao Xianrong and even Qian Guiren, they are younger than one and fresher than the other. The concubine looked at the emperor and you were lucky to have one woman after another, looking forward to your emperor day after day. Coming, but you are here, talking about other women."
Zhuang Luoru listened to these words and sighed in her heart. Ning Fei chose to follow the path of Sister Zhixin. Perhaps she really had feelings for the emperor, so she would be jealous and angry, and eventually hated, so she framed herself. , Framed Rou Fei, and even counted the queen.
The original fresh and elegant woman will also be jealous because of feelings, after all, no one is a saint.
When Lu Yi recognized Lin Peng, Zhuang Luoyan felt a little puzzled. Although Lin Pian was once expensive as a concubine, but now it is just a small princess. In a place like the harem, how many people are there in a princess position? Willing to sell her life willingly?
Lin Bin’s relationship with Rou Fei was not a secret, so the people in the Rou Fei Palace in the lotus pond can be justified, but she can’t just throw a body into the lotus pond by Lu Yi. Find.Therefore, even if it is related to Lin Peng at this time, it will not be done by her alone, at least in the harem.
As for the later paper kite incident, it is even more suspicious.Ordinary concubine who can send people to find Ye Guiren's stubble, no one has found that even if Ye Guiren is disgusted by the emperor, there is still a queen mother on it. Even if she is treated harshly, she will not be scolded by the eunuch. No one else heard any news.Therefore, only a few people can manage this.
The queen would not do things that lifted a stone and smashed her feet. The concubine Xian and the queen were temporarily in the same group, and it was unlikely that the rest were the concubines Ning and Shu.It's just that if the matter is done by Princess Gui, she will naturally restrain Su Xiuyi, and she will not make her humiliate by humiliating the people of Xihe Palace in the future.So in the end, the suspicious one was Ning Fei, who was easy to get along with. Ning Fei was good at painting, and she had even more doubts.
Originally, she would not easily doubt Ning Fei. Until a few days ago, she passed by Ruan Ming Palace and found that there were many blooming Begonias. She remembered that Ning Fei once said that she liked Begonia at the flower viewing feast. obvious.
Now it is determined that Ning Fei and Lin Peng colluded, and Zhuang Luoyan did not feel anything gratifying. In this harem, you count me, I count you, and you will never be relaxed until you reach the highest position.Ning Fei did this kind of thing, but she couldn't escape a love letter. A seemingly transparent person did the most irrational things.
Ning Fei looked at Zhuang Luoru and Shu Guifei, and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be proud, even if you are favored today, there will be more favored substitutes for you tomorrow. I am a frustrated person, I should have been reconciled, I was wrong, wrong..."
Feng Jin was still listening quietly, but then suddenly it happened: "Come here, take Ning Fei down to take good care of it, and then send it down later."
