Chapter 73
"Originally, Hua Hongxiu was going to be sent to Ning Fei palace. Who knows what means she used, but she let the emperor order her to move to Taoyu Pavilion," Su Xiuyi said sarcastically. "As soon as she entered the palace, she began to play tricks. She was really the master of Hong Xiu's fragrance. It was disgusting."
"What are you going to do with her?" Shu imperial concubine helplessly looked at Su Xiuyi one eye, to her impulse some discontent, "a small talented person is worth you to think about?"
"Cousin, I just look at her and think of Zhuang Luoyan. It's hard to work hard." Su Xiuyi sat down on one chair, his face was ugly and said, "they are all the same kind of goods."
"Where is your upbringing?" Lady Shu glanced at Su Xiuyi, "is that what you should say? Zhuang Luoyan, whether she is real or fake, she is more favored than you. What's the use of complaining here. As for the flower tea, you don't have to complain that someone doesn't like her. "
"She imitates Zhuang Luoyan in every word and deed. Can Zhuang Luoyan bear her?" Su Xiuyi thought of the words and deeds of that flower red sleeve, disdained shriveled mouth.
"Others may not be able to bear it. As for Zhuang Luoyan..." Lady Shu laughed. "She must have endured more than anyone else. In this harem, imitating others can only get a temporary favor, but it's not a long-term solution."
At the beginning, Yan guipin was also extremely favored. Isn't she still a little guipin now? It's just that Ning GUI is not very pleasant.
If you can bear it for a while, then you can plan for it. If you want to clean up a person, why hurry for a while.
In Qianzheng palace, Feng Jin looks at all the dental plaque in front of him. Suddenly, he is a bit dull. Finally, he chooses the brand of Ning Guiren in the corner.
"Let's go and see the ninggui people who are new to the Palace this evening," Feng Jin thought. "By the way, send the Zhiyuan that I asked someone to tie up to zhaoxianrong. The fat Ma Zhiyuan should stay here."
"Yes." Gao Dezhong stepped down as he said.
There are red lanterns hanging outside Changtian building, but it's ninggui people who guard the door instead of Xu Zhaorong. After ninggui people entered the palace, the emperor saw that he was cold and dusty, and wrote a good poem, saying that he had many similar hobbies with Xu Zhaorong, so he let him live in Changtian building.
Xu Zhaorong stood at the window, looking at the beauty standing at the door, with no expression on her face.
"Lady, it's late at night. Go to sleep." The maid of honor came forward to comfort her.
Xu Zhaorong was silent and stood in the same place until Ming Huang's imperial driver appeared. He watched the emperor holding other women close to each other at the door. Then he hugged each other and disappeared at the door.
Abruptly broke his beautiful manicured nails, Xu Zhaorong turned around and said: "wait for the palace to sleep."
Among the three newlyweds, the emperor first spoiled Ning Guiren. When Zhuang Luoyan got the news, he was not surprised. After all, men are visual animals. It's normal to choose a beautiful one first.
Within two days, the queen was going to hold a flower feast in the royal garden. Zhuang Luoyan naturally obeyed. Although the queen would hold several banquets in the royal garden every year in various names, then the big and small wives would fight with each other in words and sight. After the banquet, they would meet each other and disperse.
"Niang Niang, I don't know what's going to happen when the empress is giving a banquet today. You should be more careful when new people enter the palace." Listen to bamboo side for Zhuang Luo Yan comb hair bun, side careful mouth.
Listening to the bamboo combing a complex morning cloud near the incense head, Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile, "I know you are worried about me, but there are so many concubines waiting for you. Maybe all the people are thinking about me."
"Be careful, there's no big mistake. You'd better be on guard." Although the emperor has spoiled Ning Guiren in recent days, she believes that the emperor still dotes on his wife. Otherwise, how could she have sent Zhiyuan to Ning Guiren that day.
Yunxi trims Zhuang Luoyan's clothes and listens to their conversation. She interrupts: "I heard that Huacai people didn't live in Taoyu Pavilion, but later they moved to Taoyu Pavilion somehow."
Zhuang Luo Yan helped to help step to shake, the tone is insipid way, "she didn't live in Ning imperial concubine there, is her affair, have nothing to do with us."
Listen to bamboo listen to her tone is calm, for a moment also don't know Zhuang Luoyan is not care or early have to deal with the meaning, the reason Zhuang Luoyan body pressure skirt jade pendant, "Niang in the heart have a chance."
Sitting on the chariot, Zhuang Luoyan saw Jiang guipin, Kong Wanyi and ye Debin coming from the other direction at the corner.
When they saw Zhuang Luoyan, they all went to the chariot to salute. Zhuang Luoyan didn't expect that the three people would walk together, so he said, "it's rare for you three to walk together."
"Back to the empress, a few days ago, ye Debin moved to live with her. Kong Wanyi lived close to her. She just met her on the road and came over together." Jiang guipin replied, "the empress is busy. I don't think she knows such trifles."
"I see. You three can walk more together in the future," Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile. "You can go with our palace. It's not good to let the empress wait for us."
Zhuang Luoyan looks back at Jiang guipin, who is behind him. Recently, Jiang guipin has been courting her frequently, and even intentionally or unintentionally reveals some secret things of the harem in the past, the taboos and hobbies of the imperial concubines. Jiang guipin has been in the palace for several years, and it's not surprising that she knows more than Zhuang Luoyan. It's strange that she should tell Zhuang Luoyan.There is no good in the back palace for no reason. Zhuang Luoyan doesn't believe that Jiang guipin will be better to himself because of the rumor about their promotion in the back palace. Jiang guipin was an extremely intelligent and rational woman. Since she did such a thing, she must have her intention.
I don't know what she's asking for and whether she can give her what she's asking for.
In the imperial garden, all kinds of beauties were standing or sitting, and the maids and eunuchs were waiting on them carefully. When Zhuang Luoyan and others arrived, they were saluting again.
"Is zhaoxianrong here?" Ning Fei stood beside a bunch of crabapple flowers, and her embroidered crabapple red pattern complemented each other, unspeakable leisure and peace.
"I've seen empress Ning," Zhuang Luoyan saluted and looked at the crabapple in front of her. "The crabapple is really gorgeous."
"Gorgeous but not vulgar, I really like this flower," Ning Fei folded a red Begonia and laughed.
Zhuang Luoyan laughed after hearing the words, but did not answer. Just at this time, the imperial concubine Shu arrived. Looking at the imperial concubine's guard of honor, Ning said faintly: "the imperial concubine Shu is more dazzling than the red Begonia." Finish saying, the Begonia in the hand throws at will, beautiful flower son falls in the soil.
Zhuang Luoyan took a look at the Begonia, and went forward with all the concubines to show her a gift.
"Today, if it wasn't for the Queen's banquet, the palace would never have found that the flowers in the imperial garden were so beautiful," said lady Shu. She spared all the courtesy and walked to the flowers by holding the hand of Lingsha, the lady of the palace. She looked at all the beauties and sighed, "it's a pity that the jade hairpin, the palace's favorite flower, didn't bloom at this time."
"The queen knows that you love the Hosta, so she let the skillful palace people make the Hosta. Please have a look." Diancui, one of the big palace maids beside the queen, saluted the lady. Then two eunuchs carried a flowerpot. It was the Hosta, the heart-shaped green leaves and the white flowers that were planted in it. No one could see that the flowers were made by people It's made.
Lady Shu looked at the flowerpot, with a light smile on her face, but said: "I thank you for your kindness. I'm in trouble for you."
"It's hard for you to serve the emperor wholeheartedly. If we don't have the flowers you like, how can it be said?" The empress holds Heyu and brings the eunuch to her palace. She obviously hears her words. After the ceremony, she looks at her with a smile. "Besides, it's not a trouble. Our palace is the head of the harem. Some things are just lip service."
The smile on Lady Shu's face faded a little. "It's considerate of the empress to think about these little things. The concubines and concubines have nothing to repay. They can only help the empress in the future. "
"You're a lovely person. You're not like a virtuous concubine, but you're trying to be lazy," the queen said with a smile. She stopped talking to lady Shu and started talking to other concubines.
Zhuang Luoyan watched the empress and Princess Shu perform language art. He sat down on the carved stool, twisted the peach blossom cake on the table and took a bite. He found that the cake was sweet but not greasy, with a peach flavor. He couldn't help taking a bite more.
"Zhao Xian Rong Niang," a white figure appeared in front of Zhuang Luoyan. She looked up and saw that she was the most beautiful woman in the palace.
"Ninggui people don't have to be polite," Zhuang Luoyan put down half of the peach blossom cake in his hand and motioned to ninggui people to sit down. "This peach blossom cake tastes very good. Ninggui people want to taste it."
"Mother Xie, I had breakfast before I came here. I'm not hungry yet." Ning GUI gets up to be blessed and just sits down again. The step shake in her hair shakes slightly with her movements.
Beauty is beauty, how to see how to raise eyes, Zhuang Luo Yan face a smile, "so it is." Ordinary people always wear white to give people a sense of affectation. This noble Ning wears a white wide sleeve embroidered light pink brocade skirt and a light blue glass and silk on his shoulders. How can he see the dust? This is more poetic than Xu Zhaorong.
"Why didn't the lady go to see the flowers?" Ninggui people looking at the flowers not far away, the expression on his face is shallow, it does not look like a flower.
"Don't you enjoy flowers here?" Zhuang Luoyan took a sip of the tea cup from the bamboo and said, "you can enjoy more flowers here, and the color is more gorgeous."
Ning GUI nodded, as if to agree with something, "Niang Niang is a person who knows how to use flowers. My concubines disturb Niang Niang's interest." With that, he got up to give Zhuang Luoyan a gift and left with the maid of honor.
Zhuang Luoyan looked at Ning Guiren with great interest, folded his waist, put down the tea cup, held his chin and looked askance at Tingzhu and Yunxi, "what do you say she is here for?"
Listening to Zhu and Yunxi shaking their heads, looking at each other's suspicious eyes, Yunxi said: "I don't seem to be very happy when I look at this ninggui person. I'm still so plain dressed. I really can't think of her intention."
Zhuang Luoyan smiles and doesn't continue to speak. This noble lady Ning really has some meaning. Does she not want to be with other concubines? Having been sent to the harem, is there any idea that you don't want to be an emperor's concubine? Even if you don't have these ideas, you will have no other choice in this place.
"In recent days, the emperor has turned over ninggui's teeth several times. What's the matter with her?" The cloud Xi low voice way, "other concubines but try every means to attract the emperor's attention."Listen to bamboo eyebrow tip tiny move, toward the direction that rather noble person leaves saw one eye, "who knows this rather noble person is what idea."
After appreciating the flowers for a while, the people were tired, so they sat down according to their seats. The palace people presented the melon and fruit tea, and the flower appreciation soon turned into a tea party.
Zhuang Luoyan took a piece of pineapple and ate it slowly, listening to the concubines talking about all kinds of flowers. She couldn't say anything about it, so she had to listen in silence.
"By the way, ninggui people, Huacai people, Yancai people, you have been in the palace for some days. What's wrong with you?" The empress seemed to suddenly think of some new people and looked at the three people, "ninggui people live in Changtian building. With Xu Zhaorong, naturally there will be no problem. You two live alone in Taoyu Pavilion. If you have anything unclear, you can ask the old people in the palace."
"Mother Xie, concubines and concubines are not uncomfortable." Huacairen got up to give the queen a gift, "Taoyu Pavilion is very good."
"That place is really good," the queen said with a smile. "It was Taoyu pavilion that Zhaoxian lived in at the beginning, but later he moved to Xihe palace. Especially in the peach grove beside Taoyu Pavilion, beautiful peach blossoms will bloom at this time. Many concubines in the back palace love to go there to enjoy the flowers. "
Huacai humanity: "concubines also heard that zhaoxianrong had lived in Taoyu Pavilion before. It's really an honor for concubines."
Zhuang Luo Yan lowered his eyelids, slightly curved corners of his mouth, "Hua Cai Ren is serious." The Taoyu Pavilion is not a good place. The emperor asked her to move out of the Taoyu Pavilion and repaired it that night. If there was nothing in it, she would not believe it.
"Today's flower appreciation banquet in our palace is just for all sisters to get together." the queen didn't talk much with Huacai people, so she turned the topic, "when the emperor has finished handling the Court Affairs, she can have a banquet."
Hearing that the emperor would come, some concubines changed their eyes and arranged their clothes without any trace in order to leave a good impression on the emperor.
Zhuang Luoyan lowered his head to think that so many women's eyelids go down to seduce the emperor, in fact, it is to pull hatred.
As it was almost noon, the emperor came, and all the concubines were gracious. After they gathered around the emperor and sat down, they chose their own seats to sit down. The flower feast officially began.
Since it's a flower feast, every dish takes the name related to flowers, and even some dishes are directly made into flowers. Zhuang Luoyan's famous dishes are carrot shreds and mushrooms. He has some feelings. He heard that after the reign of emperor Cheng Xuan, the Imperial Palace was extremely thrifty. Today's life is frugal. I don't know what luxury looks like?
Don't be too comfortable in this corrupt life.
"This fairy flower is well done. It's delicious." Feng Jin put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Guiren, "this dish should suit your taste. Try more."
After hearing the words, the maid in waiting behind Ning GUI raises her head and serves the dishes for Ning GUI. However, her action makes Feng Jin frown.
"Ning GUI Ren, is this maid in waiting for you Feng Jin took the silk handkerchief presented by Gao Dezhong and dried the corners of his mouth. Seeing that Ning Guiren got up, he said, "what's the matter with the injury on her arm?"
Rather expensive person's facial expression gloomy saw the palace maiden behind one eye, but don't know how to answer.
"Back to the emperor, the injury was accidentally hit this morning," the maid knelt on the ground. "The master didn't see it at that time, so she didn't know it."
Feng Jin lightly looked at the maid of honor, "since you are so careless, you don't have to wait on Ning GUI's side. Gao Dezhong... "
"Emperor," Ning GUI's face slightly changed, and he got up and knelt down. "The wound of dawn is caused by the concubine beside empress Xu Zhaorong this morning, not by carelessness. I hope the emperor can learn from it."
"Xu Zhaorong?" Feng Jin looked at Xu Zhaorong, who had a slightly white face, "what's the matter with you?"
"Emperor, I don't know about it," Xu Zhaorong said in a hurry. "I'll go back and investigate it thoroughly."
"Back to the emperor, Xu Zhaorong didn't know about it. In the morning, the maid in waiting also had no intention. I beg the emperor not to blame empress Xu Zhaorong for this." Ning GUI gave Xu Zhaorong a gift and asked for love.
"Although the maid in waiting was unintentional, she was also Xu Zhaorong's person. Although Xu Zhaorong didn't know it, he was also careless in observing it, "Feng Jin said flatly." in this case, he should reduce Zhaorong's salary for half a year and withdraw his dental plaque for two months as punishment. He must not commit it again in the future. "
"Thank you, my concubine." Xu Zhaorong reluctantly took a look at Ning Guiren. In the end, he could only give thanks.
Zhuang Luoyan looks at this kind-hearted ninggui man and picks his eyebrows. The emperor hasn't said that it's related to Xu Zhaorong at this time. This one pleads for Xu Zhaorong first. I don't know whether it's really kind or not.
Because a palace maid beside a noble man embarrasses a Zhaorong, and the emperor really doesn't give Xu Zhaorong face. This noble man Ning is really favored and can force Xu Zhaorong to this step.
Feng Jin looked at the concubines, and somehow he saw the expressionless Zhuang Luoyan. He staggered his eyes slightly, but he didn't want to see Zhuang Luoyan. "I've used it almost, and it's time to go back to the palace."
When the emperor did not eat, the others could not say they were not full. In addition, they saw a good play, and all of them got up to present the holy driver.
"Xu Zhaorong doesn't have to be sad. The emperor is just in a fit of anger," said the lady. She glanced at Ning GUI, a dusty looking man with a bad tone. "You have served the emperor for many years. The emperor will never forget you just because of any woman."A casual woman? Zhuang Luoyan looks at Lady Shu. It seems that lady Shu doesn't like Ning Guiren very much. But think about it, Princess Shu is the most beautiful of all the women. This is ninggui who compares her with others. But this person is still in the dust and gets the saint's favor. It's not normal for Princess Shu to like her.
"Lady Shu's words are reasonable, but as the master, we should manage them well," the queen stood up and looked at Xu Zhaorong. "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, but you should think about why the emperor punished you."
The Queen's attitude of "as long as you're not happy, I'll be happy" against Shu Guifei makes Zhuang Luoyan sigh again. It's not normal for every queen to like Chongfei.
The empress and Lady Shu can say these words, but other people don't have the courage to find reasons to quit. Zhuang Luoyan also takes the opportunity to go back to Xihe palace. She doesn't want to stay in a group of women to act, but it's a trouble to show off.
After a while, the eunuch of the inner Chamberlain came to pass a notice, saying that the emperor had turned over her sign.
Zhuang Luoyan was a little surprised. She thought that the emperor would go to ninggui people to comfort them today. He is not most interested in ninggui people recently. Why did he think of coming to her again?
