Chapter 4 Concubine Gathered in the Strange Liu Baolin

Empress Meng glanced at the empty chair, and immediately said in a warm voice, "Concubine Rong's pregnancy sickness has not subsided, so I will spare her my greeting."

Concubine Yu Yu, who was sitting on the first chair on the right, said with a smile, "Sister Rong is four months old, but she's still very scared. Maybe she's pregnant with a prince."

Empress Meng sighed: "The emperor's heirs are rare, it would be great if he is really a prince."

Concubine Lan Gui, who was sitting next to the empty chair, held up the exquisite multicolored flower and bird teacup, took a sip, and said softly: "The new sisters have never seen the face of Concubine Rong until now. Woolen cloth."

Empress Meng glanced at the few fresh-faced newcomers below, and said, "We are both in the harem, and we will have opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Fang Jieyu, who was sitting under the hands of Concubine Xiang, said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't see Concubine Rong, but the new sisters have been in the palace for more than half a month, and they have never even seen the emperor. If you tell them, you just have to see them." I’m afraid no one outside will believe it.”

Yue Wangshu secretly saw in his eyes, the physical condition of the concubines in the harem seemed to be in good shape, didn't they?Although the empress wore heavy makeup and couldn't see her complexion, she was obviously lacking in energy and blood, and her body was very weak. Concubine Xiang was plump, but she had acne marks on the corners of her mouth, and she was obviously damp and weak in spleen and stomach. Thin and weak, she looked a little blood-deficient, as for Fang Jieyu...for the time being, there was nothing wrong with her.

Yue Wangshu couldn't help complaining to himself: I'm not an imperial physician!
Then he hurriedly turned to look at everyone's appearance——

Concubine Xiang has a round face with a smile on her eyebrows, but in terms of complexion, she can only be regarded as above average.

Concubine Lan Gui had an extraordinary bearing, her hands were white, tender and slender, and she even drank tea elegantly.

Fang Jieyu was younger, she was only in her twenties, she had a beautiful appearance, and her voice was soft and melodious, she was not inferior to the "new younger sisters".

Needless to say, the silent one is Chen Cairen, Chen Cairen is not outstanding in appearance, but his eyebrows and eyes are more refined.

The rest are the rookies selected to enter the palace this time. Among the rookies, Liu Baolin is a woman with a smile like a flower. Seeing this, Liu Baolin quickly smiled and said: "Although the concubine is in the harem, I also know that the Holy Majesty is busy with government affairs. It is inevitable that some negligence in the harem."

Empress Meng nodded in satisfaction: "It's hard for you to be so sensible."

After praising Liu Baolin, Empress Meng said again: "I will remind the emperor when I turn back."

Yue Wangshu complained silently: Remind your husband to sleep with your little wife? ?

It's not easy being a queen.

Liu Baolin couldn't help feeling ashamed, and quickly took a sip of the tea cup.

Yue Wangshu: Why do they all drink tea and not eat snacks! !
Empress Meng looked Liu Baolin up and down, and couldn't help wondering, "Why is Liu Baolin dressed so plainly?"

Only then did Yue Wangshu notice that this Liu Baolin was wearing a moon white poplin sleeveless jacket and a shallow lake green pleated skirt, with a low bun on his head, on which were only a pair of green jade hairpins and two budding magnolias. Flowers, the whole body is extremely clean.

Look at this palace full of concubines, which one is not surrounded by pearls and emeralds?This Liu Baolin is simply a green leaf among the flowers!
Liu Baolin was born young and pretty, so dressing up like this doesn't hurt his beauty, and he doesn't have an air of beauty, but——

Empress Meng couldn't help but think of something, she looked solemn for a moment, and she hurriedly asked: "But the Ministry of Internal Affairs withheld your dowry?"

Dowry is the dowry.

In ordinary families, parents are naturally responsible for the investment and preparation, and relatives, friends and elders will also add makeup.

But if she enters the palace as a concubine, it's a different matter.

After all, not every family can afford a head full of pearls and emeralds and a body full of silk. In order not to damage the face of the royal family, when a concubine enters the palace, the royal family will pay for it and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be responsible for the preparation. The dowry is also different, but no matter how low the status is, there are at least two sets of decent hair and clothes.

Therefore, with Liu Baolin dressed so "plainly clean", Empress Meng first wondered whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs had filled her own pockets.

Liu Baolin quickly waved his hand: "The empress misunderstood, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not withhold the concubine's dowry, because the concubine herself does not like luxury."

Only then did Empress Meng's face soften a lot, "Thrift is certainly good, but now that the world is rich and the world is peaceful, and the emperor treats the six palaces generously, if you are too frugal, you will fail the emperor's wishes if you put the dowry given by the emperor on the shelf."

Liu Baolin's complexion changed suddenly, and he quickly knelt down and said, "It's my concubine who was negligent, and my concubine always remembers the empress's teachings!"

Empress Meng sighed, "I don't want to blame you. You are far away from your parents and family at a young age, and you entered the palace as a concubine. It is also possible that you have a momentary thought."

Speaking of which, Empress Meng smiled: "What's more, you have such a good look, you should dress up well, so that you can live up to it."

Liu Baolin bowed his head and murmured "yes".

Yue Wangshu saw it, and couldn't help thinking, this Empress Meng is not like a big wife, but more like a close sister... even... a bit like a mother, uh-this must be My illusion!

But this Liu Baolin is really strange, as far as she knows, the Liu family is the best among the newcomers, of course, she is not considered a high family, she is just the daughter of a fifth-rank doctor.It stands to reason that you must also wear gold and silver on weekdays?How come after entering the palace, I like Su Jing instead?
What is she drawing?

Yue Wangshu thought Liu Baolin was weird.

But forget it, none of my business?
She didn't want to be the second old lady in the harem.

Meng No. [-] Madam Queen: ...

At this time, Concubine Xiang smiled and said, "Sister Empress, don't worry too, Liu Baolin is still young, just teach him slowly."

Empress Meng sighed slowly, then smiled again: "Your wife had discord with her spleen and stomach a few days ago, is it better now?"

Concubine Xiang smiled: "Where is her spleen and stomach not in harmony? It's just a picky eater."

Empress Meng couldn't help laughing: "Princess of the royal family, why not be picky? Even if she wants to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, it's up to her."

Concubine Xiang couldn't help laughing: "Sister, don't get used to her. This child is getting more and more delicate. I'm really worried. I don't know what kind of in-law's family will be able to bear her in the future."

Empress Meng covered her lips and smiled: "Your wife is only seven years old, and you have already started worrying about her marriage."

Concubine Xiang sighed: "If you raise a child to be a hundred years old, you will worry about 99 years."

Seeing this, Yue Wangshu couldn't help wondering, the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Xiang didn't look like the eldest wife and the younger wife, but more like sisters of ordinary people.That's right, Queen Meng's mother is the cousin of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Xiang's father is the brother of the Queen Mother. This queen and concubine probably knew each other since childhood.

Moreover, Concubine Xiang has only one daughter under her knees, so she is not a threat to the queen.

Even so, the queen can be regarded as virtuous and tolerant.

However, why don't you eat snacks!It will be cold if you don't eat it!
Forget it, never mind, the Queen and Concubine Xiang were chatting about the future marriage of the Eldest Princess and the Concubine, obviously no longer paying attention to them, the little concubines who were sitting far away.

Whoops, Yue Wangshu's eyes are quick and his hands are quick, he has already squeezed a piece of crabapple cake and stuffed it into his mouth!

Woo!
So fragrant, sweet and delicious! ! !
Yue Wangshu's eyes lit up!

Whew - I squeezed another glutinous rice roll and put it in my mouth in seconds!So soft and glutinous, it's still red bean paste!It's a bit like mochi, and it's a bit like glutinous rice cakes!Soft but not sticky, sweet but not greasy!

The queen was still chatting with Concubine Xiang with great interest, but she didn't pay attention to her side.

Yue Wangshu moved quickly, and his eyes glanced around from time to time.

However, she could hide her behavior from others, but she couldn't hide it from Chen Cairen who was only separated from her by the mahogany table - after all, the snacks were placed on the mahogany coffee table.

Chen Cairen drank his tea and was about to grab a piece of dim sum, but suddenly found out that there were only two pieces of crabapple cakes and one piece of glutinous rice roll left in the two pastel high-footed plates.

Chen Cairen:? ? ?

There is a mahogany square table between every two seats, which is used to put tea and snacks.Chen Cairen hadn't touched this snack yet, so it goes without saying that Miss Yue ate it!

Chen Cairen couldn't help but look at Yue Shunv's beautiful and lovely face, she looked well-behaved - but the snack residue on the corner of her mouth was clearly not wiped off.

Being stared at by Chen Cairen, Yue Wangshu felt very embarrassed. Was she caught?

Chen Cairen saw it, and didn't say anything, but generously pinched a piece of crabapple cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yue Wangshu: ...Does she not need to eat snacks like a thief? ? ?
She hurriedly glanced left and right, and suddenly realized that Qin Xuan, who was sitting at the end, was also looking at her!

Oops!

Above her is Chen Cairen, and below her is Qin Xuanshi!Her actions may not be noticed by others, but the people around her will never be blind!

Embarrassment, Yue Wangshu's face was capitalized embarrassment.

Fortunately, waiter Qin Xuan quickly looked away, as if he had no intention of exposing him.

Yue Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the Empress and Concubine Xiang finally finished chatting, and said to Chen Cairen: "Sister Chen, do you want to stay?"

Chen Cairen hurriedly got up: "No, my concubine invited Yue Shunv to have tea with her."

Yue Wangshu:? ? ?When did I have a date with you? !
The queen nodded and told the concubines to leave.

Empress Meng was helped back to the inner room by the maid, and sighed again and again: "Why does she avoid Zhen'er like this!"——The second prince, Yan Chengzhen, has been raised under Meng Empress' knees since the full moon, and is now six years old.

Wearing a corolla on her head, the beautiful female Shi Caiyuan came in holding tea and said, "Maybe it's because today is the fifteenth day."——No matter how busy the Holy One is, every fifteenth day, he will always come to Fengyi Palace , if Chen Cairen is there at the time of introduction, the Holy One may not like it.

Empress Meng was taken aback, "The emperor is busy with the drought in the northwest, so he may not come here." Even if he came, he would send a message in advance.

At this time, Zhang Ji, the chief executive of the imperial court, came and said: "The emperor will come to accompany you for lunch at noon."

Empress Meng was slightly overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Caiyuan, go to Qinxue Zhai and let the second prince come over for lunch at noon. This child has not seen his father for some days."——Second prince last year Then he entered Qinxuezhai to study. He was not very talented, but he was also diligent and sensible.

"Yes, madam!"

At the same time, Yue Wangshu had already been "invited" by Chen Cairen to her Cuihua Palace—it was impossible for Chen Cairen to live in the main hall, Cuihua Palace, but the east side hall, Jicui Pavilion, was also very rare. It is bright and bright, and the decoration in the pavilion is much better than her Chang Le Hall.

After all, she is a fifth-rank talent, and she is just a sixth-rank lady.Moreover, Chen Cairen can be regarded as an "old man" in the harem, and she has only been in the palace for half a month.
