The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(124)

"I..." Concubine Xu looked annoyed, knowing that she had made the wrong move, "What should my daughter do now?"

"Wait!" After saying that, Mrs. Yulan said again: "Everyone adds more firewood to her fire. Add more fire to her. Some people can't stand the praise. If you praise her too much, she will not know her own name. If you do it a few times, the man will be like a naked man."

This is Mrs. Yulan's experience. She has been with Xu Guogong for many years. Xu Guogong is not the only one who dotes on her. There are countless concubines who come and go, and countless people die from this trick.

"You have to remember that people have to know how to go with the flow. When it is strong, go with it. When it loses, you step on it. Either you don't step on it, or if you step on it, you step on it to your death."

Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Hongjing looked at the tall and handsome son in front of him and said, "You have entered the palace several times in a row just to ask for a status for your concubine?"

The King of Jin stood under him, always as still as a mountain, calm and reserved, with a cold temperament, but also showing respect.

"Back then, when she was in the boudoir, she had an affair with my son. At that time, the Tatars raided me. After receiving the news, my son rushed to the frontier and neglected to place her. When he went to look for her again, he could not find her. When he met her again, She had given birth to a child for her son, and was rejected by her family, so she worked as a servant in the palace to support herself and her child. Although she was of low origin, her family background was innocent, but her son had neglected her reputation for her own pleasure. It’s a matter of division.”

Emperor Hongjing pondered for a moment and glanced at King Jin: "My father is very happy that you can have an heir. But you should know about the imperial censor's impeachment before. Don't do it again. Bring the child into the palace to see me. "

"yes."

King Jin left Qianqing Gate and walked all the way to the palace gate. When he reached Jingyun Gate, he met several people.

The leader was wearing a red prince's uniform. He was tall, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and very heroic. He was followed by two young eunuchs. It was King Lu who had just been punished for a few days.

King Lu was impatient by nature and had a violent temper. When he was in the fiefdom, there were rumors from time to time that he was engaging in killings to obtain wealth and to serve the army and the people, which caused widespread resentment among the people. Emperor Hongjing also issued decrees to reprimand him from time to time, but after a few days, he would return to his old ways. What people never expected was that this time he would bring the same tricks he did in Luzhou to the capital, whipping the imperial officials at will.

Indeed, no one dared to complain to King Lu, but the two injured officials had both taken leave. Now that Honglu Temple was short of manpower, this matter naturally reached the ears of Emperor Hongjing.

Emperor Hongjing was so angry that he gave his son ten lashes without even looking at him. Looking at King Lu like this, he seems to be fine. He probably came here to see him again.

The king of Jin ranked fifth, and the king of Lu ranked sixth. Even if you want to pretend not to see it, this gift is indispensable.

"Fifth brother." King Lu stopped and said with a perfunctory gesture.

Prince Jin was never one to talk much, so he nodded and walked over.

King Lu snorted and continued walking forward, talking to the young eunuch beside him: "I heard that my fifth brother seems to have a son?"

"Well, how could this slave know such a thing?"

King Lu kicked him over and said, "Let's see what I can do with you."

The eunuch was kicked to the ground, but King Lu had already walked away. The little eunuch pretended to lie there and rub his belly. When he was far away, he got up and spat: "I'm not waiting for you. Why didn't I go out today without looking at the calendar, so you bumped into me!"

He muttered and ran away from the corner.

The morning light is faint, and the east has a fish-belly white color, with a faint orange-red color.

It looks like the weather is fine today.

Yao Niang opened her eyes and looked down to see the long, slender palm on her belly. There was a snort on the top of his head, but it was King Jin. Every time Yao Niang wakes up, she will find that the two of them are in such a posture. They obviously sleep separately before going to bed.

She was still where she was, but King Jin squeezed in from the outside, so he usurped her position. He still blamed her for getting into his arms, and he didn't want to think about how he could get into his arms with such a big belly.

Yaoniang lay there quietly, thinking for a while. She didn't move until the top of her head moved.

King Jin sat up and shook the red gold rattle placed on the bed. Yuchan quickly led the people in and helped them wash and change clothes. King Jin finished cleaning up first and went to do morning exercises as usual, but Yao Niang still had to linger for a while.

Yao Niang was always dissatisfied with the red silk clothes she brought in. It was not that she was picky, but that this was her first time entering the palace and she always wanted everything to be done properly. It won't work if it's too ostentatious, and it won't work if it's too plain. It will damage the face of King Jin.

Finally, she chose a snow-blue double-breasted double-layered jacket with clouds and water patterns and a light blue twelve-piece skirt, and asked Yu Chan to serve her and put it on.

Yao Niang is now pregnant, but overall she is not fat. Her belly, which was more than six months old, was pressed against her body like a small basin. Because the clothes were put on her waist, her waist was not bloated, but her face, breasts and hips were plumper than before she was pregnant. But her complexion is better than then, pink and greasy, white and rosy.

Red Silk helped her make a butterfly bun loosely, with a red gold and emerald Ruyi hairpin inserted diagonally at the end of the bun, and a golden silk butterfly love flower inlaid with green emeralds and a trembling golden branch.

Here, Hongdie came holding a large box made of foreign paint inlaid with mother-of-pearl and peonies. When she opened it, she found a purse, a jade pendant, and a skirt-pressing pendant. Two of them were chosen from red silk and hung around Yao Niang's waist. Hong Fei also held a square box with the same color pattern, which contained bracelets of various colors, and asked Yao Niang to choose.

Yao Niang picked out a pair of jade bracelets, but she only brought one. She never wears these gadgets for fear of breaking them. She also has a sluggish body and always feels cumbersome. She usually doesn't wear them if she can.

After Yao Niang has finished dressing up, breakfast is also laid out.

Prince Jin walked in from outside, sat down next to her, and glanced at her: "It's too plain."

really!

Yao Niang sighed in her heart. Only when she is dressed up in a golden and gorgeous way will he feel that she is not ordinary.

"It's not pretty. Don't you think it looks good?"

King Jin looked at it for a moment, his eyes darkened a little, and he nodded after a long time.

"Since it looks good, that's fine."

After breakfast, Yao Niang went to pack Xiaobao again.

This is also Xiaobao's first time entering the palace, so naturally he has to dress up properly.

After waiting until people came to the main courtyard to rush him, Yao Niang hurriedly took the people to the main courtyard to meet, while King Jin went to the front courtyard.

Today is the day when the female family members of the Jin Dynasty will meet the Queen. The sign has been handed in long ago. It was only because Queen Wei was busy with palace affairs recently that today was decided. Not only the Jin Palace, but also all the female family members of the vassal princes who came to Beijing are here. Yaoniang learned the news yesterday, so she was very nervous.

King Jin rode on horseback, and the female family members divided into three cars and headed to the palace surrounded by many guards.

When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, everyone got off their horses one by one, and King Jin also got off his horse.

After passing through the Imperial Garden and approaching Kunning Palace, King Jin took Xiaobao from Yuchan. He wanted to take Xiaobao to Qianqing Palace first.

He did not speak, but glanced at Yao Niang and Yu Chan next to her.

Yu Chan almost nodded his head.

Logically speaking, a foreigner's wife cannot bring a personal maid into the palace, but Yao Niang's situation is different from others. She is pregnant with Liujia, and it is her first time to enter the palace, so she brings Yu Chan.

King Jin left quickly. Headed by Princess Jin, they entered the Kunning Gate and waited to be summoned inside.

Soon a palace maid came to welcome them in, and they were led all the way to the main hall. What they saw was the royal style and majesty.

Sitting on the phoenix throne in the first place is Queen Wei.

The queen is dressed in a bright yellow Yanju uniform and wears a crown of six dragons and three phoenixes. She is a little older, but it can be seen that she was as beautiful as she was when she was young. Accompanying me at the head is the Crown Princess Wu, and there are several ladies sitting with her, all of different ages, some are dignified and graceful, some are generous and decent, some are delicate and delicate, but the most eye-catching one is one of them. A woman.

This woman was born with a jade face and red lips, slender eyebrows, and delicate and bright eyebrows as depicted in ink. She was so bright and beautiful, with an aggressive temperament that made people dare not look directly at her.

Especially when she was talking to the queen, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, like flowers blooming or birds approaching, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Princess Jin's delicate body trembled.

Yao Niang kept her head lowered, fearing that she would make a mistake, but she did not notice this scene.

At this time, the people in the palace also saw the female members of Prince Jin's family. When they were about to cast their gazes on them, the noble lady looked over. Her beautiful red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly at first, and then her eyebrows raised lightly, but her eyes were focused on Princess Jin. On his body, he curled his lips into a smile.

"Mother, the fifth brother's family is here." Her voice was not delicate or crisp like an ordinary woman's, but had a strange hoarseness. It's so special that once you hear it, you won't forget it.

Yao Niang subconsciously looked up and saw the other party's face.

What a beautiful woman, she sighed in her heart.

Chapter 100

The woman saw Yao Niang looking at her and looked over.

Yao Niang didn't dare to look any further and quickly lowered her head.

At this time, Princess Jin had already taken the lead and walked forward, leading the three of them to bow down.

"I, my concubine, will pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed and safe."

Someone had taught Yao Niang these rules before she came, and she followed them one by one.

"Get up quickly."

A maid came forward to help Princess Jin up. Empress Wei smiled kindly and waved to Princess Jin: "Come to me, I see that you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

"Yes, I saw the same thing when I saw it. Fifth brother and sister, why are you so thin?" Princess Yong said.

Why are you so thin?

At the same time as these words were spoken, the same voice echoed in Princess Jin's mind. It's just that the voice back then was a little more lively and a little less lazy than it was now.
