Chapter 294 Wen's
The three heirs saw the imperial concubine saluting quickly... mainly the third prince led the way, and the tenth prince followed, but the King of Chu stared blankly at the embroidery on the imperial concubine's skirt, indifferent.
His brothers quickly stretched out their hands to give him a hand, and then King Chu bowed crookedly.
"Your Highness, you are welcome." Yun Fenghuang gave a hand, reached out to touch the third prince's head, and said with a smile, "Bing'er seems to have grown taller again."
The third prince subconsciously wanted to back away when she reached out her hand, but the movement only appeared for a moment, and then he stopped abruptly, and only lowered his head shyly: "Thank you, Concubine Gui."
Yun Fenghuang's finger slipped down, holding his chin and forcing him to raise his head, and said with a smile: "This appearance is getting more and more handsome, and I don't know what a beautiful princess I will marry in the future?"
"Mother and concubine." The third prince was really shy this time, his face flushed red, he hesitated to speak.
"I won't tease you anymore." Seeing the courtiers of Chongchang Palace looking over one after another, Yun Fenghuang let him go with a smile, and said gently, "Your queen mother just finished talking to me, and I'm tired now, you can talk to me later." Go say hello."
The third prince was a little embarrassed and disappointed when he heard the words, but he still nodded and agreed: "Yes, thank you for telling me."
Watching him lead the two younger brothers away, Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then turned and got on the chariot.
Back in the Huanhua Palace, Honge came up to persuade her not to touch the third prince lightly in the future: "Although His Highness's smallpox has healed, it's only been a few days, who knows if he is still sick? What if it is passed on to the empress?" , but how good?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't care and said: "You see, not all of his current servants have paid flowers, is it okay to go in and out with him? Besides, you only touch him when I have nothing to do? "
Hong E was puzzled and said, "What did the empress find?"
"The emperor's heirs have been taught by their masters of riding and archery since they were young, but in the past six months, because of smallpox, most of them have neglected their studies." Yun Fenghuang pressed an index finger to his lips and said thoughtfully, "Originally now The oldest King Qin is only six years old. He is a family of children. How can the master of riding and archery dare to use heavy hands? Therefore, it is only a matter of practicing airs and exercising the body. The flesh on his body is still slack. After half a year of rest in such a young age For example, Bengong has been diligent in supervising the children, isn’t he beaten back to his original form? The third prince and the tenth prince were the first to have an accident among the emperor’s heirs. Afterwards, because of the queen’s distress, they have not even picked up calligraphy. As a result Just now, I noticed that Gongxiang Bing's muscles are much stronger than King Qin's... It seems that Ji's remnants in the palace are hidden deeper than we imagined!"
After all, the queen loves the third prince sincerely. The third prince survived from the smallpox. The queen always feels that his vitality has been seriously injured. She is afraid that if he works hard on his studies, his foundation will be damaged, which will be bad for the future, so he is strict. He is not allowed to go to school, and these days let a few children play freely.
But he made up his mind to wait until the beginning of the new year, when the front court and the harem resume communication, and then let the third prince go to school.
Unlike Yun Fenghuang, when King Qin was lying on the couch suffering, she still did not forget to send someone to read the book to King Qin...
"Your Majesty, do you want to find out who is behind the Third Prince?" Chen Jing rushed over to ask for instructions after hearing the news, "Would you like to report to His Majesty again?"
Yun Fenghuang took a look at him: "Don't do anything, let's just know what's going on! Is His Majesty really ignorant of the matter in the palace ban, or is he knowing but pretending not to, and putting a long line to catch big fish, you and I How is it clear? Especially how many days have passed since I haven't seen His Majesty!"
The voice lowered, "What's more, if the Ji family has arrangements for the third prince...is it a bad thing for us?"
Chunjia made it clear that she would strictly prevent the noble concubine from coveting the position of the Eastern Palace. Wouldn't it be nice if the Central Palace could mess up by itself?
She shook her head and said, "I don't want to mention this. The empress wants to give something to the newcomers who served His Majesty in the previous dynasty. I didn't want to worry about it. But now that the middle palace is in the lead, I have to do something. He said, just ask someone to pack up some belongings and send them over according to the rules of picking girls. It is not easy for His Majesty to come to the harem now, and they are all people who serve the imperial court day and night, so there is no need to thank you."
Since the empress and noble concubine took the lead, the concubine Dexian and others below would naturally not lag behind.
The concubines who were originally from poor backgrounds and not high status were a little embarrassed when they heard the news, worried that they would not be able to make ends meet, but they were relieved to hear that the queens and concubines were rewarded according to the rules for adopting women, and they joined in the fun together.
So the newcomers who heard that the head of the harem had rewards were very happy, but they were a little disappointed when they saw the things.
Si Zhan is not very smart, so he said it directly: "The things that the ladies rewarded are different from what we usually use?"
None of their newcomers are of noble birth, and they don't even have a clear status so far.
But because of the blockade of the harem for the past six months, there were only ten of them in front of the emperor, and with the emperor's acquiescence, many things were used by them beyond their means.
Now the harem strictly follows the treatment of the lowest-level concubines, which of course is not comparable to their daily expenses.
"Does it need to be said? We are still carrying the name of a court lady." Wen Mingcui is the opposite of Si Zhan, the most courageous, dare to speak in front of Chunjia, let alone just among them, now playing with his wrists Putting on the bead string, he sneered slightly and said, "You ladies are willing to give the daughter-in-law a share, that's enough to think highly of us!"
Wen Shijiang had always been at odds with her, and said lightly after hearing the words: "With our status, it is already a blessing to be able to be here today. If we think about it more, we will be a little dissatisfied."
Wen Mingcui turned her head suddenly, and because of her quick movements, the pendants around her ears shook violently, and in the sound of broken gold, she could only hear her cold voice: "Sister Shijiang is content, I don't know who stays up every night, naked Practicing "Lingbo" hard in the house, my sister doesn't dare to stop her from making progress, but I hope that before my sister does this, she will at least say something, so that the National People's Congress at night won't think it's haunted!"
Although their food, clothing and treatment are good now, because Taichu Palace is only the residence of the emperor after all, after arranging a few companions in the early years, plus the residence of a thousand palace maids, there are not many places that can be temporarily arranged for them , so the ten newcomers share a room with two people.
Because Wen Shijiang and Wen Mingcui were both donated by the governor of Hengzhou, they were separated from each other from the beginning.
Because of the disharmony in the relationship, he thought about kicking the other party out after Cheng Chong, but turned around and made a fuss in front of the imperial court, which made Chun Jia angry, but how dare he mention it?
At this moment when Wen Mingcui said this, everyone looked at Wen Shijiang, especially the Xu sisters with strange expressions.
This is because they were favored at the beginning because they danced to the song "Lingbo" and won Chunjia's praise. Now Wen Shijiang practiced this dance quietly, what's her plan?
"..." Wen Shijiang's face was blushing for a moment, and she suddenly sneered, "Just looking at these things, I know that we people, even if we are lucky enough to serve His Majesty, what are we in front of the masters of the harem? Right now It was given as an example of picking a girl, so it’s hard to say if you have any ideas in the future!”
She raised her chin towards Wen Mingcui, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "For example, your Majesty said your name was vulgar before, but you climbed the pole quickly, and wanted His Majesty to give you a name... At that time, His Majesty originally thought I agreed, but do you know why it didn’t work out in the end? I heard from the palace people two days ago that when the imperial concubine first entered the palace, she was also told that her boudoir name was inappropriate, and she planned to change her name on the spot. .It's just that the imperial concubine declined. Your Majesty must have remembered this, and I'm afraid it will make the imperial concubine sad!"
Just ridiculed, "Some people look at His Majesty's good-nature and think that they are so great. In fact, in His Majesty's eyes, it's just that the imperial concubine and empress are inconvenient to come and accompany them. They will be able to enter and leave the harem next year. Now, what else is it?"
Wen Mingcui's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "How noble is the imperial concubine, who among us dares to compare with her? I don't have such thoughts. Why? Do you have such an idea? But I don't know if the imperial concubine knows you Such ambition?"
"Let's not say a few words." Seeing that they were about to pinch again, Xu Xuxin frowned slightly, and stopped saying, "With our background, we must have started as a concubine in the future. I have never met a concubine before serving Your Majesty. , it is not in compliance with the rules. If there is a disturbance at this moment, it will spread to the empress, the noble concubine and other ladies, and you will get a bad impression, preconceived that we are not good, what good will it be?"
Seeing that Wen Shijiang and Wen Mingcui were still a little unconvinced, she said lightly, "What? Do you think that before the ladies in the harem can serve the holy driver, you can persuade your majesty to concubine you? Our sisters don't have such an idea Yes. If you feel that you have this ability, then please don’t associate with us in the future, and we will feel restless if you don’t make us tired!”
Because Chunjia usually prefers Xu Xuxin more, even Wen Shijiang and Wen Mingcui didn't dare to quarrel with her openly, and finally nodded with restrained anger: "Sister Xu, don't worry, we have a sense of proportion, and it's just our own. Time to say a few words."
That being said, it won't be like this after they disperse.
Wen Mingcui was particularly angry: "She, Xu Xuxin, is not something that she is not a palace concubine, but she has won His Majesty's indulgence by inviting favors and flattery, so she thinks she is the leader among us?!"
It is said that they are maids, after all, they are the ones who serve the emperor, so they are also assigned to serve by the palace servants.
At this moment, the palace servants spoke softly to comfort her.
Who knew that Wen Mingcui would blurt out without thinking: "The imperial concubine also came from a poor family, how was it when she entered the palace? How dare this lowly maidservant treat me like this!!!"
"..." The servants in the palace didn't speak for a moment, and then they kindly persuaded, "The girl has a bright future, as the saying goes, summer insects can't be talked about, why do you bother with those people?"
After Wen Mingcui made a mistake, she also regretted it, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Oh, actually, I also know, how can I have the qualifications to achieve the achievements of Concubine Xiao Xiangmin? It's just that Xu Xu believes in me but is not convinced."
Even so, these words were reported to Yun Fenghuang after a while.
Chen Jing and the other servants were very angry. They had a sense of crisis when Chun Jian accepted the newcomer, but now the newcomer dared to talk about his concubine's background, how could he bear it?
The Qing people sneered and said: "Although the Xie family is not as good as the Yin family and the Luo family, it is still a powerful family in the local area. Our mother has been summoning slaves and maidservants since she landed! How can such people be regarded as objects?" What can be compared with gifts? The empress was hired into the palace back then!"
"What are you fussing about with such a child?" Yun Fenghuang didn't have any hostility towards Wen Mingcui, the number of main sections was too low, she didn't bother to bother, so she just said lightly, "Don't do unnecessary things, the location of Taichu Palace is not ours. You can reach out your hand at will; the second is that it is rare for a newcomer to have such an impulsive personality. Now that it is resolved, wouldn’t there be no reason to beat them when I look back? Could it be possible to do it directly at that time, making His Majesty feel that this palace can’t tolerate people? ?”
The servants pondered for a while, understood, and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, my lady, the servants will definitely take good care of this Wen family, and make sure her wife gets her title peacefully."
