The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 95
For the first time, the concubine Shugui, who has always been in the limelight in the harem, has become the lively object in the eyes of the concubines of the harem. Anyone who watches the opponents who have been favored for many years and suddenly become less important, can’t help but vent their hearts. Jealousy.
"Zhao Xianrong's position in the emperor's heart seems to be getting heavier since the last time Hu was counted seriously injured, and the princess Xian Gui felt a little emotional, "There is one less favored Hu's, and one more favored. Zhuang's, what is the difference for this kind of person in this palace who is only boiled in the harem with qualifications?"She looked at her face in the mirror. Although her face was still the same, she did not reach the concubines soon after entering the palace.
"Why is the mother-in-law relying on seniority, and the slave-maid looks at the emperor who trusts you, otherwise, if not, how can you give the prince up to you?" This is noble.
The princess smiled when she heard the words. Obviously, the words of the maiden made her very satisfied, and she was in a good mood to appreciate the talking maiden. Being beside is the last resort.
"Let's go, this evening is Zhao Xianrong's birthday feast, even the emperor is going to go, this palace can not go late." Xian Fei smiled on the face, "Sister Zhao Xianrong is a generous person , This palace cannot be neglected."
As the protagonist of the birthday feast, Zhuang Luohong naturally wants to dress up grandly, with Chinese shoes and flowers, and yellow and scented sachets, all of which are carefully selected from the province, and the patterns on each are auspicious and happy. The people in the temple have spent a lot of energy.
With her eyebrows drawn carefully, she didn't intentionally make herself a little more ordinary. A woman can dress more when she is young. When she can't match up with a young girl, she only uses the prudent trick. Be stable, and when you get older, you will not be lifeless?
Putting down Meidai, looking at the delicately trimmed eyebrows, Zhuang Luoyan nodded with satisfaction, stood up and took a picture in front of the large mirror, and handed it to the listening bamboo who was waiting aside, "Go."
Walking out of the Xihe Palace, passing through the Jiuqu Corridor, passing the Meixiang Fall Snow Park, and walking through the not-so-short vermilion road, watching the court eunuchs salute to themselves, Zhuangluo roared his face without changing his face. On top, until the pace stopped at the gate of the Queen's Jingyang Palace.
He Yu, who had been waiting at the door, saw Zhuang Luoru and smiled and stepped forward to salute Zhuang Luoru: "Mrs. Zhao Xianrong is here. The queen is waiting for you. Please come with your slave."
"There is labor and jade," Zhuang Luoyan smiled at Heyu, and then entered the palace gate along with Yu, and the court eunuch who was behind him hurriedly followed.
Not far away at this time, Princess Gui and Rou Fei and their party had just rushed over. Seeing this scene, Fei Fei seemed to smile: "The Queen Mother is really loving."
Shu Guifei looked at Rou Fei without changing her face and smiled.
Rou Fei moved her eyes, and she couldn't see Shu Guifei's chest-shaped look, as if everyone in the harem could see it clearly, and could feel it.If it is so powerful, why is it just to favor the concubine, rather than the exclusive favor of the emperor?Even Zhuang Luoru, who entered the palace today, later came to the top, so that the treatment of the queen and Heyu personally waiting at the gate of the palace, Princess Gui did not have this year.
Inside the house, Zhuang Luorong gave the queen a gift, and the queen personally put a sheep fat jade bracelet on Zhuang Luoyan. The other concubines who had arrived in the house also saw Zhuang Luoyan.
As soon as they were seated, they saw that Sister Gui and Rou Fei came together, which surprised everyone a lot. Sister Gui and Rou Fei did not often come and go. Why did they come together today?
Why didn't Su Xiuyi, who always followed Shu Gui, follow her?
There was another salute, and the people sat down again, and the queen said: "The emperor still has some discounts. He said that the early dinner would let the banquet open according to the hour. We won't wait, let's have a banquet later."
The queen opened the mouth, and naturally no one objected.The courtyard of Jingyang Palace is not small, even if it sits on a concubine and plays a stage, it is not crowded at all.
The first scene was Magu's birthday. Zhuang Luoyan finished watching with a smile, but randomly clicked on an auspicious opera, and asked the queen and other concubines to click on it.
"I love watching some lively plays when I was a child. I always think that the more lively the more interesting, but now it's just the opposite. I just like quieter plays," the queen put down the silver sign in her hand, and the pear on the sign fell alone. In the plate.
"My concubine also likes quieter things these years," Concubine Xian Gui continued with a smile, "I think my sisters like these lively things."
If Zhuang Luoluo wouldn’t take this kind of talk, but today was her birthday feast, she would have to open this mouth: "The empress and the empress concubine are much stronger than the concubines. I can’t understand the opera, my concubine is anxious, I can’t listen to the slow tone, I just want to hear the whole story at once.”
"Zhao Xian is straightforward, and it's normal to not like to listen to opera," Rou Fei inserted a denucleared red and green in the plate with a silver sign. "But even if you don't like to listen, it should be a pair of people who understand drama. "
Zhuang Luoyan smiled and looked at Rou Fei obliquely: "Rou Fei's maid looks at her concubine, and her concubine is inferior to you."
No one knows who was present, and Feifei feels sorry for Zhao Xianrong several times. At this time, there is something in the two people's words, and naturally no one talks.
"Who is Ai Fei?"
A low male voice came from the corner, and everyone watching the play got up to salute.
Feng Jin stepped forward to lift the queen, and then went behind the queen to lift Zhuangluo rouge, and then said: "Today is Zhao Xianrong's birthday feast, everyone need not be ceremonious, just sit down."
"I have known for a long time that you don't like to listen to opera, so I let the people in the palace's variety show prepare some juggling," Feng Jin waved his hands, and the actors on the stage withdrew, and I saw several people wearing the clothes of the palace variety show master. People appeared on the stage.
"Thank you, the emperor." The smile on Zhuang Luoyan's face suppressed the surprise with all his might, before bowing to his knees, he wanted to salute the emperor, and the opponent held his hands with one hand.
"Today is your birthday, how to kneel and kneel," took Zhuang Luolu down on his right and sat down, Feng Jin looked at the queen on the left again. "Fang Cai, I heard that Zhao Xianrong said that he was far less than Rou Fei. , What's going on?"
"It's just that the two sisters are modest with each other," the Queen looked at Rou Fei and Zhuang Luoyan, and said with a smile, "Zhao Xian Rong is always humble, you know the emperor."
modest?
Feng Jin thought of Zhuangluo, who always wanted to make himself boast a few words in private. Suddenly, she was fortunate. Fortunately, her faceless and skinless was only in front of herself, otherwise the other concubines would be surprised why he loved Zhao Xianrong. Anymore?This embarrassing thing, for the emperor, is not mentioned.
"The queen said it was reasonable, Zhao Xianrong and Rou Fei are naturally the same," Feng Jin smiled, glancing at the smile on Zhuang Luoyan's face seemed to be stiff, and he was in a good mood, "Why only present the fruit, What about other things?"
"The concubine was supposed to serve, but Zhao Xianrong said to wait, and the concubine waited for a while," the queen explained with a smile. "But it is not too late for the emperor to come. It’s just right.” After finishing talking, he ordered people to serve.
Exquisite dishes were on the table. Feng Jin was in a good mood and drank two glasses of wine before looking at the concubines in the yard with the wine cup.
Finally, I took a look, and my eyes fell on Zhuang Luoyan. When she saw her burying her head and drinking soup seriously, she couldn't help thinking of the night before, when Zhuang Luorong suddenly dreamed that the emperor was crying with tears.
He has never seen other concubines having nightmares. When other concubines slept with him, they were very calm and would not even move a bit. This Zhaoxian Rong would always pull his hand secretly. Or touch his ear.
She thought he was asleep, so he always pretended to be asleep.
Only the night before, when she dreamed of crying when she called the emperor, she still left a trace in her heart.
When she woke up yesterday morning, she couldn't remember the things she had dreamed of, but he remembered it somehow.
Is there no concubine about Zhao Xianrong's gaffe?
What seemed to come to mind, Feng Jin looked at the queen next to him: "Fang Cai Zhaoxian Rong said that he was not as good as Rou Fei, but I know where she is."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Roufei and Zhuangluo Rouge, and even Roufei couldn't help but looked up at Zhuangluoro.
The queen's heart was a jump. She was with the emperor for many years. She was still clear about some of the emperor's habits. The emperor's words should not be mentioned casually, but she could only follow the words, "I don't know where the emperor said. Not enough?"
"Rou Fei is in the position of concubine, Zhao Xianrong is only a good look, and the position is slightly worse." Feng Jin put down the wine cup and carelessly said, "Since I said that you are all the same, then let Zhao Xianrong also be promoted. Concubine, there are fewer concubines on the concubine."
Isn't the concubine on the concubine less, the Zhuang family on the concubine?
The queen sneered in her heart, the smile on her face did not change much, and the tone was calm: "The emperor said very much."
Zhuang Luoru was a little surprised. The emperor even raised his grade in such a light and flirtatious manner, and then stood up and thanked Huang En for a while.
"I said, today is your birthday, you don't have to kneel down, I have already asked Qin Tianjian to choose a good day, and the official closing ceremony will be held on the fifth day of next month." Feng Jin smiled and pointed to a plate of honey in front of him. Juice duck tongue, "You like this, I will give you this plate."
Rou Fei's face changed slightly. What does the emperor mean? Do you want to tell everyone in the harem that Zhuang Luoru is not worse than her?After today, what other face does she have?
Now that the Qintian Supervisor has chosen a good day, how can he mention it at will?Concubine Shu looked up at the smile on the emperor's face, and was somewhat distracted. No matter what the emperor heard when he came in, he would find a chance to promote Zhuangluo rouge.
Blinking gently, Princess Gui looked calmly at Zhuang Luoru eating the honey sauce duck tongue given by the emperor, and her eyes became a little cold.
She was able to win the favor of the emperor, and today, it will not be easily taken away.
"By the way, Concubine Shu, why didn't you see Su Xiuyi today?" the queen asked.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, Su Xiuyi was unwell. She was afraid that she would be ill, so she wouldn't come." Shu Guifei lowered her eyelids to make her look soft and obedient. "What's more, today is Sister Zhao's good day. Su Xiuyi is sick. Isn't it unlucky to come?"
"Sister Gui Fei was worried." Zhuang Luoyan wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked up and smiled at Princess Gui.
Princess Gui looked up, and also showed a gentle smile to Zhuang Luoruo.
