I won't let the king succeed

Chapter 9
"Okay, then let's go back," An Mengjie rubbed against her a few more times, and followed Momo to Qingxin Garden.

In 258 BC, King Zhao bribed Fan Sui to drive a wedge between Prime Minister Qin, and King Qin became suspicious.

In 257, Prime Minister Qin hanged himself, and the entire Qin family died unexpectedly. King Zhao met a beautiful woman while marching.

In the same year, King Zhao led his army to fight against Qin, and won a big victory!
When Zhao Wang was happy, he made the beauty An Concubine, and bestowed the daughter of the beauty's elder brother as a princess.

When Concubine An arrived at the Zhao Palace, she lived in the side hall all the time and never went out. Her greatest wish was to take good care of Meng Jie. She didn't care about Zhao's celebrations, including the interactions between the concubines. However, today Early in the morning, the king sent someone to bring two sets of clothes, saying that the queen mother wanted to see them.

An Ning did not expect that one day the Queen Mother would summon them. She lived in the mansion for several years, but did not encounter such a thing, so with the help of the maid, she changed into clothes, and also changed An Mengjie's clothes.

The green gold silk embroidered robe, paired with the white embroidered pleated skirt, is extremely fresh and elegant when worn on the body.The headdress is also beautiful, with green nephrite jade embellished on it.The maid tied An Ning's long hair into a beautiful bun and pinned it on.

After An Ning finished dressing, she took Meng Jie with her and walked out of the side hall with the maid.The sunlight cast a faint halo on her slender figure, and her clothes fluttered. Her whole body was like a rose waiting to bloom in the morning light. That kind of soft and beautiful demeanor made her not like the people in the world.

Concubine An followed her maids to the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning, where it was extremely lively.

Looking from a distance, the beauties and attendants in all kinds of costumes are like flowers that can move around. A beautiful skirt, various colors, and various embroidery patterns are like a newly unfolded scroll, revealing The fresh and fragrant breath is overwhelming and beautiful, like the brilliant glow in the sky in the summer evening.

Accompanied by the maid, An Ning quickly took a seat.After a while, King Zhao came over with the queen mother, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids.

An Ning raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother Zhao. She had regular features and a beautiful face. When she was young, she should have been a beauty who had amazed everyone.It's just that time is not forgiving, and with the passage of time, some fine lines appeared on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Beside her, Yiran is King Zhao. He sat down with the queen mother, leaning lazily on the chair, wearing a large robe made of Qushui Brocade, with dark and deep eyes, phoenix eyes and starry eyes. With a single swipe, the whole person exudes a majestic air of king.

"You are Concubine An." In the room, the Empress Dowager sitting on the imperial concubine chair in the center was wearing an orange silk gown with the pattern of five blessings holding birthdays, a full set of forehead ornaments of the same color, and an amethyst imperial phoenix hairpin inserted in the back. Dang's skin was coated with a light layer of rouge.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother," An Ning hurriedly brought An Mengjie down from the seat, and bowed gracefully on the cushion in the middle.

At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a lotus-colored silk skirt with large sleeves and a round neck, and a golden hairpin on her hair smiled, and walked over to help An Ning and An Mengjie, and looked her up and down. , smiled and said: "Queen Dowager, look, this girl looks really good!" After finishing speaking, he took another look at An Mengjie who was standing aside, "I really want to congratulate the Queen Mother, I have added another beautiful princess."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. She slowly looked at An Mengjie and said, "This is the little princess His Majesty mentioned, and she is indeed pretty. Come here, let the Ai family take care of you." Look."

The corners of An Ning's eyes twitched, but a submissive smile appeared on his face. He gently hugged An Mengjie, walked past Aunt Luo who was helping her just now, walked in front of the Queen Mother dignifiedly, and blessed: "The Queen Mother."

The queen mother stretched out a well-maintained white and tender hand, and touched An Mengjie's small face: "The little guy is very lucky, no wonder His Majesty likes it!"

An Ning's face flushed slightly, and the hand holding An Mengjie trembled.

The queen mother glanced at her, frowned and said: "You child, why are you wearing such thin clothes, and you are frozen like this." She waved her hand, "Bring the crane cloak from Ai's family here."

"I," An Ning declined, just about to refuse.

The queen mother glanced at the maid behind her, and said coldly: "The two little girls beside me really don't know how to take care of others, Zi Yan, from now on you will follow Concubine An and take good care of her."

A girl with willow leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes and a graceful figure came out of the line and bowed respectfully to Concubine An.

"Your Majesty, you see Concubine An's personality is gentle, and she doesn't have any capable people around her. Now I will make up one, and I will send it to Aunt Luo when there is a good one." The queen mother said like this, with the appearance of a loving mother.

In front of everyone, she personally put on a crane cloak for An Ning.

The crane cloak is light and warm. The peony pattern is embroidered with gold thread on the red silk surface, and the cloud pattern is outlined with gold thread on the edge. The ermine lining inside is all mink fur, which looks very warm.

An Ning's face twitched slightly, and said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

An Mengjie knew that not only the queen mother was watching at the moment, but even the concubines and maids were all watching, watching the butterflies come out of the vegetables, not to mention that the palace has been a place of right and wrong since ancient times, and open and secret fights are indispensable .For the newcomer An Ning, the most important thing is to gain a firm foothold.

Scattered laughter came from where the women were sitting.

Zhao Wang took a look at An Ning, with some pity: "Don't pray, such a young child doesn't know much etiquette."

"You have to learn the rules in the palace!" The Empress Dowager's expression turned cold.

"Sister Lu..." A person next to him was trying to smooth things over, looking at An Ning's appearance and couldn't help laughing, then turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Look, does this Concubine An look like a person? I still remember Yun'er The eyes are also born like this."

The man was wearing a green veil with big peonies and green veil, Bixialuo, with pearls and jasper inlaid obliquely.This kind of dress is also unique in this room, and her noble status is self-evident.Sure enough, the people around the Empress Dowager also persuaded her: "What Concubine Yao Guifei said is very true, it really looks like it."

The empress dowager's eyes were red: "Sister Yao, I'm thinking of that girl Yun'er, but her fate is unlucky, she is so young... Now let go, it's even more... leave the prince..."

Zhao Wang's face darkened, and he sat there silently for a while.

Someone nearby persuaded: "Isn't the prince protected by His Majesty and Empress Dowager? Don't be sad soon, Empress Dowager, let alone the person in front of you, even Your Majesty will be disturbed."

"Isn't it..." The queen mother coughed lightly, and smiled: "I see, this child looks very lovely. Since the weather is good today and Ai's family is happy, why don't you give me something?"

The Queen Mother waved to her and said, "Come here."

An Ning walked over, and the Queen Mother smiled at Her Majesty: "She has been here for several years, and she has suffered a lot of grievances. Shall I give this to her?"

Beside him, he understood, and after a while, he brought out a precious carved box, opened it, and found a lot of precious jewelry inside.

An Ning was very surprised, she didn't expect that the Queen Mother obviously didn't like her, and she would give so many things, and she suddenly felt like walking on eggshells.

In An Mengjie's heart, at this moment, she was full of gratitude to the queen mother. She had caused An Ning to live up to her good years and wasted her youth. Now that the queen mother did this, she was obviously telling everyone and acknowledging An Ning's status.

Concubine Yao asked Meme to hug An Mengjie over: "Well, let me take a look at this child, it's the first time I've seen this child since he's grown up." Then he took off a bracelet from his wrist: "Although the bracelet is small, it is precious , this was rewarded by the late emperor."

An Mengjie looked at it - the suet-white bracelet, awarded by the late emperor, was very valuable.

Why do these people always like to give jewelry?Can you give me something else?After running around outside, and being suffocated by the smell all over the room, she almost vomited.

Someone behind him suddenly said: "Is this Princess Xiaomeng'er?"

An Mengjie turned her head, and there was a little girl looking at her with a smile.She was very handsome, about eight or nine years old, with double dolls and pink clothes.

Someone nearby told An Ning: "This is Princess Zhao's family."

Ge grabbed Mengjie's hand: "It's so cute, call me sister."

The queen mother smiled and beckoned her to come over: "Li'er, why are you here? Where is your father?"
