Wonderful Puppet

Soon it was the day of Chongyang. Early in the morning, Luo Zhizhen stared at the twelve moonlit dresses spread out on the bed, and couldn't help being stunned. When she changed the skirts amidst the smiles of the maids, she walked lightly. Moved, the breeze blew, and the wind moved like a moonlight, which aroused the praise of the maids.

Zhen Miao looked at Luo Zhizhen who was coming, and smiled with satisfaction, and when she got on the carriage, she said in a low voice: "I specially asked someone to add two more pictures, and the effect is really good."

Luo Zhizhen felt a little uncomfortable: "Isn't this too ostentatious?"

Although the Yuehua skirt is beautiful, it is not suitable for many formal occasions.

Zhen Miao comforted, "That's why the Empress Dowager is afraid."

This skirt can not only bring out Luo Zhizhen's calm and gentle temperament, but also let the queen mother see her ambition hidden under her indifference, it is perfect.

Luo Zhizhen listened, and nodded slowly: "I listen to my sister-in-law."

When they arrived outside the palace gate, the two got out of the carriage together. Along the way, they met many wives leading their daughters or nieces, all of them dressed up and competing for beauty, but they all took a second look at Luo Zhizhen's skirt.

There is no other reason, this skirt has two more pieces than the ordinary Yuehua skirt, it is more elegant, and it is sandwiched with silver thread ripples, as if covering the moonlight on the body, attracting people's eyes unconsciously, and then changing Or envious, or jealous, or unremitting eyes.

On weekdays, Luo Zhizhen was already anxious, but with Zhen Miao's encouragement, and thinking that this was a fight for his own destiny, he was no longer anxious. Besides, every woman always has a little bit of vanity in love with beauty. The unobtrusive concubine was suddenly surrounded by the eyes of so many noble girls, and she felt a little bit secretly happy.

When we arrived in the imperial garden, it was indeed filled with chrysanthemums of various colors, as well as rare flower treasures, which would definitely attract people to watch.But at this time, only the singing of warblers and swallows and the sound of laughter were heard, but these exotic flowers and plants were treated indifferently.

On the jade table, there is a pot of chrysanthemum wine and a plate of Double Ninth Cake that suits the occasion.There are also all kinds of cold snacks decorated with chrysanthemums.

Zhen Miao glanced around.

It's still early, the queen dowager and empress have not yet arrived, and besides Zhen Jing, there are no other high-grade concubines in the palace, and low-grade concubines are not qualified to come, so at this moment, it is the noble lady before the banquet We connect emotionally.A good time to exchange gossip.

Zhen Miao was in it, so naturally she couldn't avoid it, in just a short time, she had already dealt with several people.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to hear a commotion.She heard the reputation and looked across the crowd, looking at Zhen Jing who was walking slowly.

At this moment, Zhen Jing's brows and eyes are full of high spirits.There was an unconcealable smugness at the corner of his mouth, or rather.She didn't think to hide it.

It is said that Jinyi's night travel is a pity in life. Since she entered the Sixth Prince's Mansion, her natal family is no longer her natal family, and she is now in the deep palace.There is no opportunity to show her on weekdays, and only on such occasions can she show her beauty openly.

Those wives are all shrewd. Although there were rumors that the imperial concubine fell out of favor a few days ago, in the harem, if one concubine is favored today and another concubine will be pleased tomorrow, it all depends on the unpredictable thoughts of the emperor. It's silly.

Concubine Zhen's appearance today is enough to show that she has regained the favor of the emperor, not to mention that she also has a little princess and the only little prince at present.

Zhen Jing smiled, listening to the greetings from the ladies, she felt happy in her heart.

It's not in vain that she coaxed the emperor for so many days with her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and with Zhenzhen around, she didn't worry about the emperor not coming.

Thinking of her daughter Zhenzhen, Zhen Jing subconsciously frowned and looked at Zhen Miao.The jealousy and hatred in his heart were turbulent, all hidden in a smile.

She passed the crowd, dragged her long and gorgeous skirt, and walked towards Zhen Miao. Before anyone approached, she smiled first: "Fourth sister is here."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhen Miao didn't want to be rude, so she could only salute, "The imperial concubine is well."

Zhen Jing stared at the emerald green flying fish hairpin on Zhen Miao's head, wishing she could laugh out loud, she thought, Zhen Si, finally the day when you bow your head and salute to me has come!

On weekdays, it doesn't matter how proud you are, even if the emperor secretly misses you, in the end, he still has to pay his respects to her noble concubine!

"Fourth sister is too far-fetched, this is... the third girl from the Duke's Mansion?" Zhen Jing walked up to her, smiled and took Zhen Miao's hand to help her up.

Zhen Miao stood up and raised her head, and looked at Zhen Jing with an undisguised indifference in her eyes.

She only asks that no one can make mistakes in terms of etiquette, and there is no need to pretend to be intimate.

He waved his hand without any trace, and said lightly: "Exactly."

Zhen Jing looked at Luo Zhizhen critically, and praised: "You really look good, but you look small, are you 14 years old?"

She said in her heart, these three girls are a concubine, dressed up and appearing on such an occasion, what a big face, it really is different fate!

In the final analysis, even if she is standing in the position of imperial concubine now, it is difficult to think that such a shabby little sedan chair was carried into the Prince's Mansion back then.

Zhen Miao smiled calmly: "At our age, when we look at the little girl, we naturally feel smaller."

The corner of Zhen Jing's mouth froze.

Zhen Si's words were really stinging, they almost stepped on her sore feet!It's hateful but I can't find anything wrong with it.

In fact, Zhen Jing's thoughts are also contradictory. On the one hand, she looks at Zhen Miao bowing her head to her, and she feels happy in her heart, wishing to have a few more words with her, enjoying the feeling of being a master, on the other hand, she dare not The real reason for provoking her too much is that this is someone who doesn't follow common sense. If she says something that shames her, it's useless to show her prestige.

The face fell off, and it was dirty when picked up.

So Zhen Jing heard Zhen Miao's words, said a few words on the occasion, and then walked elsewhere.

Looking at Zhen Jing's back, Zhen Miao smiled.

I don't know what to be proud of, the beauties in the harem are one after another, like cutting leeks, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they come to her to find fault.

Seeing Zhen Jing turning her head, Zhen Miao took out the handkerchief, wiped the hand she held just now, and casually threw the handkerchief on the ground.

Zhen Jing looked at it, her face turned pale with anger.

Zhen Miao smiled disapprovingly.

What we are least afraid of is provocation. If we want to anger her, we need to work harder.

Throw the handkerchief, let her think what she wants, we have money and willfulness, throw it away after use, can't we?

In such an occasion, Zhen Jing didn't dare to get angry after all, and sat down while clutching her chest.

"The Empress Dowager is here, the Empress Dowager is here—"

Amidst the high singing, Zhao Feicui came to support the Queen Mother Zhao and sat on a high seat.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet has just begun.

After drinking for three rounds, it's time for girls from various prefectures to show off their talents to add to the fun.

The girl from Changqing Bo's Mansion was the first to perform, playing the piano.

This girl's appearance is only delicate, but her piano skills are remarkable. She just wanted to choose some beauties for Emperor Chen Qing to enter the palace to watch the excitement. Sweeping around, the eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

Zhao Feicui sat next to the Queen Mother Zhao, and during the talent show, the Queen Mother Zhao talked softly with her: "What do you think of Miss Tao from the Changqing uncle's mansion?"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Feicui didn't want to make any suggestive movements or expressions, but turned his face sideways, and said softly: "It's too dull, it's not interesting."

Empress Dowager Zhao was a little helpless: "If you are not interesting, you will be safe, and when it is interesting, it will give you a headache."

"Auntie, I'm not afraid of headaches, I'm just afraid of being bored." The lonely deep palace, life is hard to bear, and if some wooden people come in, there is no waste of food.

When Miss Tao finished playing a song, she got a compliment from the Queen Mother, she put on a pale face, and quietly withdrew.

If you didn't get the chrysanthemum lottery, you obviously lost the election.

When she returned to her mother's side, her eyes were red and she almost shed tears.

This girl had met Emperor Chen Qing. The young emperor was handsome and handsome, and she had secretly moved her heart a long time ago.

In other words, the world is like this. When Emperor Chenqing was still an unfavorable prince, his unrestrained flair would make some young ladies frown, but he became a high-ranking emperor. thought.

This is like a treasure, when it is unparalleled in the world, it can kill many people's thoughts, but if it is not so expensive, many people will bite their teeth and buy it.The emperor is passionate, and it will always make people feel that their chances are great.

Fortunately, at this moment, everyone's eyes were half on the girl who showed her talents, and half on the empress dowager and the empress. No one paid attention to it, and they didn't care about the mood of the girl who failed the election. Only Luo Zhizhen looked at it from afar, with a little envy in his eyes.

Afterwards, dozens of girls showed up one after another, and it happened that the faces of those with outstanding family backgrounds were more ordinary. Zhao Feicui chose four girls with outstanding looks, while the Queen Mother chose two girls with tall backgrounds for balance.

After all, the selection of concubines should also take into account the status of these girls' grandfathers or fathers in the court, and it cannot be done entirely by Zhao Feicui's temperament.

Of course, those who can come to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet have good backgrounds, and it is not surprising that those with higher status are not selected.

Zhen Miao saw it, and couldn't help but feel relieved, and said quietly to Luo Zhizhen: "Look, the two with better family backgrounds have ordinary appearances, and the four beautiful ones are all from poorer family backgrounds, so it can be seen that the Queen Mother does not want to have the same family background and appearance. Outstanding people enter the palace to compete with the empress. You are outstanding today, and your status is considered top-notch among these girls. To be on the safe side, if you play a few wrong notes, the empress dowager will definitely eliminate you."

Soon it was Luo Zhizhen's turn to play, and her talent was the most common playing the piano. Zhao Feicui quietly said to the Queen Mother: "Auntie, this is good. You will give flowers at that time."

Empress Dowager Zhao resisted the urge to shake her head, and said in a low voice: "Fei Cui, don't mess around, this girl Luo is from the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and she is of high birth, and Prince Luo is very popular and powerful, so she really entered the palace. You don't have to give any face."

Just as he was speaking, Luo Zhizhen played a wrong note, and the audience fell silent for a moment.

Out of the corner of Zhao Feicui's eyes, she saw Zhen Jing's relieved expression, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Auntie, she's the only one. Don't forget, I'm a queen with no favor and no children. I really entered the palace, and I'm in a hurry to deal with it." It’s not me.” (To be continued~^~)
