The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 118
It was another year when the beauties entered the palace, and countless carriages pulled the beauties into the palace. After a layer of screening, the remaining beauties could finally see the emperor in the imperial garden.
Xu Yun's father was only a five-rank waiter. Although she was not born very well, she had an outstanding appearance and was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy. Since entering the palace, she has not been subject to any difficulties and went smoothly to the step of the emperor's choice.
When she was in a boudoir, she had heard of the famous concubine Zhao and secretly read some biographies about the emperor and concubine Zhao, but she knew that these biographies were written by some poor scholars. I don’t even know.
The emperor is passionate, and the beauty is easy to grow old. She doesn't believe that the emperor will treat the imperial concubine Zhao as always.In the harem, what is missing is not a woman, but a woman who is motivated.
The girls chose to stand in order. Although the weather today is not very good, most girls still dress elegantly and stand neatly in the cold wind.
First came a few concubines in the harem, Rou Fei, Shu Gui Fei, Xian Fei.I heard that the concubine was once a concubine. Later, after the birth of the fourth prince, she was somehow reduced to a concubine and was not valued by the emperor. Although she had a concubine position, she was not as honorable as the concubine.
Concubine Shu does not care about the harem affairs now. Although people are here, but the attention is not on the girls, and they don't care about these gorgeous girls.
"Concubine Zhao is here!"
The spirits of the women selected at the scene were revitalized. This is the most favored Zhao Guifei rumored in the rumors. They bent their knees deeply and could only see the long skirt across the ground.
Xu Yun heard several princesses salute each other before she heard the voice of Zhao Guifei. She stood up and took a look at Zhao Guifei. She was surprised for a while.Concubine Zhao's appearance is indeed very good, but it is not as good as Concubine Shu and Concubine Roux, but she looks very young, with white skin, dark hair lined with black ink, her eyes smiling, and she does not have the arrogance that a concubine should have.
"There are a lot of beautiful women in this year's selection," Zhuang Luoru sat down opposite the concubine, picked up the tea presented by the court lady, smiled under the eyes with a smile, stroked the jade earrings touching the ear, and turned to Rou Fei. Said, "What do you say, Feifei?"
Concubine Rou glanced under her eyes and sneered, "There are a few that can be obtained." After finishing speaking, no matter what the girls might think, she continued, "There is no shortage of such beauties in our harem."
Xu Yun, who was standing below, was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to refute it, but just like other female candidates, his head was hanging down honestly.
It was another quarter of an hour before they heard the eunuch's report that the empress was here.
Xu Yun was blushing with excitement, but he could only kneel down on the ground honestly, his head buried low, and he could only see the lines of the blue flagstone in front of him.
The emperor's voice was very low and very nice. Xu Yun's face was redder. She had begun to imagine how emperor he was.
Feng Jin and the queen sat down at the top. He glanced at the women kneeling below and said to the queen, "Let's get started. I still have something at noon."
The queen knew that the emperor was going to have lunch with the concubine Zhao and the four princes at noon, nodded, and signaled the eunuch of the booklet to start. She took a sip of tea and looked at Zhuang Luoyan with her side. Smiling, but with a reluctant taste, he sighed helplessly and said, "Concubine Zhao, the dishes you sent to the palace a few days ago are very good, but the chef of the palace can't make the taste. After a few Japanese palaces let him come to you to learn."
"If the queen's mother likes it, the concubine will let the cook go to your palace, where can you use this kind of toss," Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile, "a few days ago the concubine was still discussing a cook with you. Back to you."
"Then the palace will be accepted. Don't feel distressed at that time," the queen said jokingly, and looked at the following selection of girls. They had already dropped out of the three groups, and she didn't see the emperor's order. She didn't care about it, and continued. There is one sentence with Zhuang Luoru.
"Xu Yun, the daughter of Xu Jia, the minister's assistant, was sixteen years old."
"Sisters and daughters percussed the emperor, the queen, and the ladies." Xu Yingying yelled, the smile on his face was just right, almost a little bit tired, and a little lighter.
Feng Jin waved his hand to let people retreat. After seeing that there were not many female candidates behind, he nodded slightly and signaled to stay.
Xu Yun was very happy, but the face was breezy, and she just bowed aside before she stepped aside. She was the first daughter left behind, at least to prove that the emperor saw her in her eyes.
Zhuang Luoru glanced at the chosen girl, picked up the tea cup and said: "The emperor really has a good vision, a beautiful woman."
The queen took a look and smiled: "No."
Feng Jin glanced at the two of them, waved his hand, let the following group of people retreat, and after randomly ordering another person, he said: "You don't have to choose anymore, these people go back."
For a while, everyone was a little surprised. Only two beauties were selected in this election?However, seeing the emperor's impatient expression, everyone did not dare to say anything, and began to arrange for these unselected women to leave.
"Both are the only ones, and you have arranged it for the Queen of Residence," Feng Jin stood up and said to Zhuangluo, "Go."
Zhuang Luoyan followed with a smile, and did not even look at the two newly elected concubines.
Xu Yun stared staringly at the departure of Yuyun, was that the emperor, so beautiful and majestic, she stroked her red cheeks and felt a little hot there.
Rou Fei happened to see her move, showing a mocking smile.
Today, Xihe Palace is a bit lively. The four-year-old prince Feng Qi is a curious age. At this time, he is asking Feng Jin why the moon is not bright at night even if the moon is bright at night. The pearl and candle are bright at night.
Emperor Cheng Xuandi was stumped by Huang Mao'er, and he thought for a while, "Because the sun is bigger than the moon, but the sun is far away from us, it looks the same size."
Zhuangluo on the side raised his eyebrows. The reason seems to be good, but people here don't know that the moon doesn't shine at all.
"Then why even if the big candle is far from us, it doesn't seem to be close to the small candle?" Feng Qi continued to ask, his wry eyes blinked and looked up at Feng Jin, obviously in his eyes, the Father and Emperor was omnipotent.
"..." Feng Jin regretted that he had told so many so-called "prenatal education stories" to this child, otherwise he would not fall into a crisis of too narrow knowledge.
"Because the moon is sleeping at night, the light is not bright enough." Zhuang Luoyan decided to redeem Feng Jin's dignity.
"But the moon doesn't come out during the day, why do you still sleep at night?"
"Because the moon is lazy," Zhuang Luoru touched the top of his head and said seriously, "So people can't be lazy, or like the moon, the night is not bright enough."
Looking at his mother's serious expression, Feng Qi nodded solemnly, "Well, don't be lazy!"
"Good," Zhuang Luoru continued to pat, and sat back lazily in the chaise longue. "Then take a meal. After sleep in the afternoon, let Huang Yang take you to see the flowers you planted. When your father and emperor come over, Learn to write again."
Feng Qi nodded obediently again without being hugged. He sat down next to Zhuang Luoyan and turned his head to Feng Jin: "Father and Emperor, eat more, the concubine said you are very hard."
Feng Jin sat down next to Zhuang Luolu and smiled at her before saying, "Then we should eat more steamed buns and grow up to protect our father, emperor and concubine."
"Huh!" Feng Qi nodded his head heavily.
Zhuang Luoyan smiled at the two fathers and sons and started washing his hands sideways.For men, let him know that he is very important in the hearts of women and children. He tends to do better. This is the encouragement policy.
The two talented men who entered the palace were quickly forgotten. After all, the two men entered the palace for a month, and the emperor had not summoned them. It is obvious that the newcomer can't make much progress.
Xu Yun lives in the deserted Changtian Building. I heard that there used to be a favored concubine here, but now only she lives here with another person who has just entered the palace. Every day except for a daze, they eat, and they even go to the queen. I don't have the qualifications to please An, and I dare not go anywhere else for fear of bumping into any noble person.
During Qi Qiao Festival, the concubines of all sizes in the palace finally went out, dressed in various costumes, just to meet the emperor.
Xu Yun dressed up carefully and showed up at the Royal Garden with a court lady. On the way, she ran into many low-level concubines. These women were older than her and not as beautiful as her. She adjusted her clothes and tried to make herself appear more natural. some.
It was just that she hadn’t been able to go far, and she saw that the maiden court lady in front was pushing away on both sides like a tide. She fixed her eyes, and it turned out that the emperor and the concubine Zhao came together. Have seen the emperor."
Feng Jin looked at the woman in pink in front of her and frowned slightly, "Who are you?" Didn't you hear Gao Dezhong's high-five signal to retreat?
"The concubine is new to the palace..."
"I don't know the rules, let it go," Feng Jin frowned frowning when she saw her like this. "A little talented man, dressed so much, was reduced to the last-class dressing. He must not appear in front of me in the future." After speaking, regardless of the other person's face, he walked away.
Zhuang Luoyan followed him and looked back at the young talent, only to see her kneeling on the ground in a panic.
She smiled lightly, and voila, it was another death.
Looking back, looking at the silhouettes in front of him, Zhuangluo rouge mouth with a faint smile, often knowing the current affairs to live better, that Xu Cairen even forgot who he was.
