Chapter 66 Cining Palace

The empress led Concubine Suge, and set off to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

On a sunny day, walking in the deep palace is actually a pleasant thing.

The wind is slightly warm, blowing on the body, with a hint of coolness.The canopy covering the sky, covering people's faces, is sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear, and there is a lively and lively movement.

Under the blue sky, in the vermilion palace garden, on the bluestone-paved road, a group of young and pretty figures, with black braids tossing, made the splendid palace light and agile.The girls' braids are adorned with jade, agate beads, and tied with pinched gold silk ribbons. When they walk, they bump into each other, swaying from side to side, very sensual.

Across the wall, branches with buds stretched out. If you look around furiously, the touch of emerald green makes you feel a little bit happy.

After passing the Suiqiang Gate, it is the east courtyard of the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The Empress Dowager was walking in the lower courtyard after taking a nap. , the empress dowager smiled happily, raising her hands and shouting.

"It's spring, you girls should be free to go out and walk around. The daughters of our bannermen have strong bones. They have been nested in the house all day long, and they are not broken?" The queen mother is getting old. There are only a few people coming and going in the palace on weekdays, suddenly seeing this group of bright and lively young girls in the spring, not to mention seductive, they are full of vitality, and they are happy to see.

"The emperor's nirvana is sure, look, are the two girls I brought here acceptable?" The queen pointed to introduce to the queen mother, this is the sister of Concubine Kang, and this is the second daughter of the Jiayong family.

After being called by name, the two of them stepped forward respectfully and saluted again, and said loudly and loudly, "Slave Qing Ning, Su Ge, I respectfully invite the Empress Dowager to be blessed."

Everything is going well for the Empress Dowager now, and the eyebrows are much softer, but it is different from ordinary women in the deep house, and the occasional glances in the blink of an eye are still very sharp.

"That's right. I've practiced for a lifetime, but I have a vicious eye for recognizing people. Let me take a closer look." As he spoke, he literally looked at the two of them from top to bottom.

The Empress Dowager has lived in the palace for so many years, she has her own way of seeing people.

Speaking of it, it depends on people's attention, and cares about intentions.Let's talk about it today, Qing Ning stole the limelight in terms of appearance for the two girls, while Suge has a stable heart and temperament, and there is nothing to be picky about in appearance.Both are good, but her own son knows that if both are left to enrich the harem, they will not be able to compare with Concubine He.It's not that Concubine He is better, she just borrowed the light of Shu Ming's daughter.Thinking of Wei Jiashi, the Empress Dowager also regretted that she had a good appearance, but her thoughts were too deep, and her love for her children was so serious that she had worn herself down.

If she decides for Yun Ning, Su Ge is more suitable for the harem.She doesn't hide her thoughts on her face, and she is indifferent everywhere, unlike Concubine Kang's sister, her eyes are shining, and her heart must be strong.What this deep palace needs is suffering. Too much thought and too much strength are bad things.

But the last one is the most important.Whether the son likes it or not, and whether you like it or not, are all secondary. The most important thing is to have a strong body.This time for the draft girls, we have to find a few who are strong and easy to give birth to.This is what the Empress Dowager cares most about now.

After looking at it, the queen mother was a little disappointed, both of them were raised pampered, good-looking is good-looking, but one competes with the other thin, looking good-looking, if you talk about open branches and leaves, I'm afraid you can't even point it out.

"They're all good boys, I'm proud of them, so I'll stay in the palace for a few more days to accompany your empress and master, and often come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to chat with me. As I get older, I like to have fun. "The empress dowager said with a kind smile on her face.

As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion and sat down, the Concubine Concubine Gong Shun came outside with her concubine.

The empress dowager said cheerfully, "Today, everything is complete, so you don't need to post an invitation. The concubine is the most discerning person. If you catch up, come and have a look."

Concubine Concubine Gongshun gradually liked to go out after the New Year's Eve banquet.Naturally, the number of times she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning was the most. Firstly, she came to pay her respects, and secondly, the only one who could talk to her in the palace and visit her was the Empress Dowager.

"It's such a good day today. I thought that the garden of the Palace of Compassion and Peace is the most luxuriant right now, so I went to the Queen Mother to rejoice. It just happened to catch up with the excitement." Concubine Gong Shun is a very smart person. Looking at two girls, dressed outside again, what else is there that I don't understand.

Qing Ning Suge followed Queen Concubine Kang to greet the concubine and concubine, and the queen introduced them one by one to Concubine Concubine Gongsun, "Emperor Enie has seen it just now, and now I will show it to the concubine, but still Can you see it?"

The empress dowager's attitude, the empress already understood in her heart at this time.Just look at the way it was just now - after a closer look, it's not as enthusiastic as when we first met.Although she didn't understand why the empress dowager wanted it, she finally felt relieved.

Su Ge is worried.After all, according to the regulations, the daughter of a Duke of the first rank can be directly named a concubine when she enters the palace. Suge also has a powerful Ama, so it is difficult to handle.If the Queen Mother has no intention of Suge, it will be easy for her.

It's the same looking at people, but the mood of respecting the concubine is different.In her eyes, Qing Ning's appearance matches her son well, but Concubine Kang's family, Ama, is the Minister of Taichang Temple, in charge of sacrifices, etiquette, and doctoral examinations. examiner.Suge's Ama, although she was suddenly demoted by the queen mother to raise horses for some reason, she was still a first-class prince, and her background was not far behind.

Speaking of which, Suge is more attracted to the elders, with a quiet appearance, a restrained look, and an indifferent flow between his brows and eyes, making him feel comfortable just looking at her.Comparing the two, Concubine Gong Shun also prefers Sugar.

But she didn't know what the empress dowager wanted, so she boasted all the time, "Two days ago, I heard that you were coming to stay with the empress and master for a few days. I also opened my eyes. Look, she is young after all, look at all the skins, Concubine Kang's sister is really a peerless beauty, how to raise it! Suge is good, everything is appropriate, she looks like a family Nirvana is well educated!"

The queen mother squinted her eyes, and smiled loosely, "We, on the other hand, don't seem to have seen anything before. Children are shy and tender-skinned, and we can't stand our eyes. Stop staring and pass some melons and fruits. The concubine also likes to be lively, and loves to listen to music the most. A few days ago, the Shengping Office in the palace said that it had entered a few more inner courts to worship, and she was very good at singing Kunyi. Let’s hear what’s going on. Speaking of which, those who were in the Shengping Department at the time of the late emperor sang really well. Today I want to see what these newcomers are doing.”

On the one hand, she said that someone had already gone down to spread the word.After a while, several tables of snacks and fruits were put on the table. Because it was a cappella, there was no need to go through the stage. Qing Ningsuge stood and waited, and the queen talked with the queen mother and concubine.

Concubine Concubine Gongshun has a heart, so she pays attention to Suge's behavior. This time, Xiunu's background is not high.She is satisfied with Suge, and if the queen mother does not allow it, Qingning is also good.Her intention is to find a side concubine for her son, Guanglu is not young, he should have someone to take care of him seriously, as for Fujin, there is no rush, she has to think slowly.At least, you have to find a reliable Taishan, and you may not be able to use it in the future.
