The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 96
When the banquet was held here, not many people were interested in eating. Zhuang Luoru felt that his whole body was swept through by the concubines.Originally, she also thought that the emperor would upgrade herself, but she did not expect the emperor to be so generous and gave a concubine directly. The emperor's move made her feel the hard work and vain feelings of these days.
"I always felt that Zhao Fei Xiuwai Huizhong had long thought of a virtuous woman who had wronged her. The emperor raised her position today, but it was reasonable." The queen seemed to be unaware of everyone's mind and smiled, "Ben The palace is here to congratulate the emperor and sister Zhao concubine."
Zhuang Luoru got up and bent to the queen, a kind and humorous look, "concubine and panic."
"You are fine, and the emperor should love you too," the queen said with a smile, and rewarded Zhuangluo with nothing more than a gift.
The Queen's actions, Feng Jin looked in his eyes, but there was nothing to show, he gently rubbed the pattern on the edge of the wine, silent.
Gao Dezhong, who was waiting on the side, raised his eyelids and looked at the eyes of several masters, and then silently lowered his head. As the eunuch who served by the emperor for many years, he naturally knew some of the emperor’s hobbies. Now Zhaofei’s favored concubine will not change. The matter is that the empress queen is also a wise man. At this time, the emperor is the best choice.
As for what the queen will do in private, it is not what one of his eunuchs can think of. Who is favored in the harem, but he is also the governor of the emperor's side, and who has loved him and how much is his relationship?
Zhuang Luoru took a sip of the glass and filled it with the finest peach blossoms. The entrance was fragrant and pleasant. Compared with the average wine, it had less strong feeling, but it was extremely suitable for women.
"Mrs. Concubine Zhao likes this kind of peach brew?" The voice of Princess Gui was still soft, and the expression on her face seemed to be always soft.
In Zhuang Luoyan's impression, she never seems to have seen the lady Sui Gui with other expressions. In addition to smiling, the lady Sui Gui's memory is a simple smile, with words and deeds with unspeakable tenderness and elegance, just like now such.
"It tastes good, take a few more sips," Zhuang Luoyan smiled back and saw the emperor turn his attention to Concubine Shu.
"I remember that Concubine Shu also loves peach blossom stuffing," Feng Jin looked at Concubine Shu and said with a smile, "Wait, let the people from Shangshi Bureau send some to your palace."
"Thanks to the emperor, sister Zhao concubine likes it, if not let the food court give it to her sister too." Shu Guifei said flatly.
"She doesn't have to," the emperor picked up the glass. "Concubine Zhao is not like you. The food is always uncontrollable. The good things are given to her, and most of them are a waste."
Princess Gui no longer said much, and the smile on her face was slightly faint.The emperor's words clearly degraded Zhuangluo ro, but she would not know that this is the emperor's maintenance of Zhuangluo ro, but she was afraid that she would get drunk and hurt her.What a waste of spoiling, those fine Shu embroidery and Su embroidery, all kinds of famous gemstone paintings were sent to Xihe Palace a little bit.
When did the emperor love Zhuang Luoyan so much?Was Zhuang Luoru seriously injured?Or at an earlier time?
She always thought that Zhuang Luoru was another Yangui, or another soft concubine who was not afraid, but only today did she have to admit that this person was enough to influence her status in the harem.
She has always been cautious, how could she ignore such a big threat?
Is Zhuangluo Roo acting too harmless on weekdays?Impulsive, not good at forbearance, and even always in trouble, and even not very good with everyone in the harem, this is the impression Zhuang Luoyan usually gives to people.
She always thought that the emperor did not like women who are always in trouble or superficial women, so even if Zhuang Luoyan was favored, she thought that women with these shortcomings would not be favored for long.
But what's wrong, the emperor would have loved Zhuangluo Ro for so long, and even this love has become more intense over time.
One step wrong, step by step wrong, maybe at the beginning, she shouldn't take too much into consideration to let Zhuang Luoru stay.
"Since today is the birthday of Concubine Zhao, does the emperor take a break at Xihe Palace?" The banquet came to an end. The queen spoke again. She looked at the fireworks in the sky and gave Zhuangluo a little nobility again. .
Feng Jin nodded and stood up, said: "It's not early, it's time to rest." He walked to Zhuangluo's side and took her hand, "Ai Fei, let me go."
Zhuang Luoru looked at his hand held by the emperor, and there was a hint of blush on his face. He got up and blessed in the direction of the queen, and then buried his head to look at the slate on the ground.
Seeing her like this, Feng Jin smiled and pulled the man into his arms, and led the man out of the courtyard of Jingyang Palace.
"Respectfully send the emperor." The concubines watched the emperor's back leave, some envy, some numbness.
It was not until the figure of the emperor and the concubine could no longer be seen that the queen stood up straight, and the smile on her face lightened by two points, "The palace is lacking, you should go to rest earlier." The voice returned to the house.
After the queen left, the concubines left each other in twos and threes. Tonight the show was quite lively. The emperor intended to lift Zhao concubine, and the queen deliberately suppressed the concubine Shu by concubine Zhao.They clearly remembered that at the birthday banquet of Princess Shou a few days ago, the Queen didn't say that because the birthday of Princess Sui allowed the emperor to go to An Qing Palace of Princess Sister to rest.
"Sister Guigui, the concubine retired." With a smile on her face, Rou Fei gave a full salute to Princess Gui, and she took a walk and walked away.
Concubine Shu watched expressionlessly as Rou Fei left, holding her hand in Lingsha's pace, her mouth slightly raised, but her eyes were cold.
On the slightly swaying step, Zhuang Luoru looked at the imperial lord walking in front.Fang Cai refused the emperor's request that she accompany the imperial servant. Fortunately, the emperor was not dissatisfied, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Xiu'en loves to die fast, she doesn't want to cause trouble for herself at this time. She has been promoted too fast, which has caused some people to be unhappy. At this time, she will ride with the emperor again. Can't help it.
After all, it stands to reason that the only thing in the harem that can ride with the emperor is the empress. Even if other women are favored, they do not have this qualification.Therefore, it is still not easy for the profession of petting concubines to remain stable.She is mixing her career with her life.
"My mother, it's here." Hearing Zhu's whisper reminded Zhuang Luoru to return to her mind. She helped Zhu Zhu's men walk around and looked at the emperor who was standing not far away, accelerated a few steps, and walked in front of the emperor ,"emperor!"
Feng Jin reached out one hand, took Zhuang Luoru's hand, and took her step by step into the gate of Xihe Palace, without looking at the minions who had knelt all the way, and reached Zhuang Luoru's chamber, followed by a warm candlelight. Withdrawing the hairpin in her hair, the soft blue silk poured down, in the candlelight, with unspeakable ambiguity.
The woman in front is not the prettiest or the most talented in the harem, and she can’t even be empathetic, but because of her occasional straightforwardness, he was somewhat relieved, or maybe it was really The other person's friendship made him a little more concerned. In short, he now occasionally spends his spare time, thinking about how to make this woman who is not the most outstanding in the harem to have a more comfortable life.A soft kiss on her forehead, "Ai Fei should accompany me tonight."
"The emperor will spend time with her concubine tonight," Zhuang Luoyan put her hand around the emperor's neck, raising her head to wink like a silk, "you always know your concubine."
When a woman tells a man that everything is his, if the man does not have any ripples, it can only show that the man has a problem.
Feng Jin is a normal man. After hearing this sentence, he embraced Zhuangluo and strode towards the carved bed covered with fine brocade.
The long night is long, and some people do not want to sleep.How happy the Xihe Palace is up and down, it shows how uncomfortable the people in other palaces are.
Rou Fei took off her accessories and sat on the chaise couch, letting someone squeeze her shoulders, "The most embarrassing child today is probably the one from Anqing Palace."
The maid lady beside her carefully brushed her hair for her and heard the words: "How did the mother-in-law not deal with the lady-in-law Gui Gui today?"
"When did this palace deal with her?" Rou Fei sneered, "Who is not the woman in this harem who is waiting to fall down, she Su Ruizi dares to stand tall all day, she should think about falling one day . This palace has always been too lazy to restrain its temperament, it doesn't matter what others think of this palace. In this harem, it doesn't matter whether the concubine is doing well or not, the important thing is whether the emperor is pampered or not. I want to make myself more comfortable."
"But if it is," the court lady realized she was not right, her face changed, and she dared not say anything.
"You want to say that if I lose power, this kind of temperament will suffer?" Rou Fei laughed particularly sarcastically. "The woman here can be no matter what kind of person you were before falling out of favor, as long as you are favored, you are an enemy. If you fall out of favor one day, then It’s their hobby to fall into the rock. If so, why do you still show it to others."
"Okay, wait for this palace to go to bed," Rou Fei waved the maiden who pressed her, and spoke casually. "Being happy one day is one day, and when the future grows old, even if the palace wants to be arrogant, only I'm afraid the emperor can't take it anymore."
In less than two years, he climbed to the concubine’s position. Not only did the concubine’s name sound in the harem, but many officials from the previous dynasty also showed their favor to the dealer, but the dealer was still the oil The appearance of Yan Bujin as if there was a favorite concubine from their dealer in the harem had no effect on them.
However, above the court, the Su Zhuang and the Zhuang had a somewhat opposed feeling. The Su family originally wanted to deal with the banker, but unfortunately the strength was not enough, and the emperor did not have any blame for the banker. Instead, he praised Zhuang Shilang for his young promising.And if the Su family is not a favored concubine in the harem, I am afraid that they will not be able to stand peacefully in the hall.Nowadays, the daughter of the banker almost surpasses the concubine Shu, can the Su family still sleep peacefully?
Zhuang Luoyan in the harem is naturally not aware of the ups and downs. In the few days after her birthday, all the concubines and concubines in the harem have sent a lot of lilai. She looked at the gift lists sent by the palaces and made a letter. Yawn, "Recently, the weather has started to cool down, and this palace can't help but become sleepy."
Yun Xi grabbed a cup of hot tea and covered the window for Zhuang Luolu. "The lady still sleeps for a while now. If she gets sleepy, she will not sleep well at night."
Zhuang Luoru took a sip of tea and thought for a while: "This palace has heard that Princess Fei and Princess Gui seem to have something to do with it."
Yun Xi replied, "Rou Fei's temperament is public, and she has had grievances with many masters, and it is not surprising that she did not deal with Shu Gui Fei." Yun Xi said in a low voice, "Something in the palace will involve Rou Fei. , The slave-maid thought privately, maybe someone else was counting Rou Fei, waiting for her to settle."
I remember that Rou Fei felt sorry for herself when she first recovered, but when she was embarrassed by Lin, who was still Yuan Fei, Rou Fei protected her again.Perhaps in the eyes of Rou Fei, Yuan Fei was more hateful than herself at the time, so Rou Fei did not hesitate to face Yuan Fei.
Like the concubine, he did not hesitate to pull the hatred concubine. It is also a wonderful flower in the harem, but despite this temperament, she still sits firmly in the concubine, and the previous few things almost involve her, she It's still safe, showing that this person still has something to attract the emperor.
If it was not forbidden, she really wanted to praise Roufei's strange woman in the harem.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Luoru couldn't help but smiled, and when he looked up, he saw the Grand Duke next to the emperor, led by Tingzhu, came in.
