Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 40

The imperial concubine said so, so the concubines who have just entered the palace can't speak badly of course.

Cui Jieyu was the first to stand up and bow to the noble concubine, "Jieyu Cui, I have seen the noble concubine."

The noble concubine nodded, and looked at Weng Jieyu again, Weng Jieyu still had a cold and proud face, "Jieyu Weng, I have seen the noble concubine."

The same words made Weng Jieyu say it expressionlessly, but there was a hint of condescension.

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly, and said suddenly, "So you are Weng Jieyu, you look pretty good, but with such a temper, it's no wonder..."

No wonder the imperial concubine didn't continue to speak out, but everyone present understood what the imperial concubine had left to say.

No wonder the emperor left him behind after pampering her for only five days.

Weng Jieyu's face changed slightly, and she wanted to open her mouth to sneer back, but she clenched her fists, and finally endured it, lowered her head and did not speak.

The imperial concubine snorted, then looked at Zheng Meiren next to her.

Zheng Meiren took a step forward, lowered her hands to cover her eyes, saluted respectfully, and said: "My concubine and beauty, Mrs. Zheng, I have seen the imperial concubine."

"Zheng Meiren?" The imperial concubine repeated softly, and then said: "Raise your head and let me have a look."

Zheng Meiren raised her head as she said.

Although Zheng Meiren is not the kind of appearance that makes people feel amazing at the first glance, it is the kind of appearance that is easy to arouse the pity of men.

A palm-sized face, a pointed chin, thin eyebrows, watery eyes, a straight and beautiful nose, plus a small cherry lips and a slender figure that seems to fall down when the wind blows, it is simply amazing. Ren was worried that if he spoke a little louder, he would startle her.

Although Wen Zhaoyi and Xu Jieyu are also the beautiful girls selected by Jiangnan, they are really not enough to be seen together with Zheng Meiren.

The imperial concubine clicked her tongue twice, and said, "It's really a look that I still feel sorry for."

"Chenqie... Chenqie..." Zheng Meiren looked at the noble concubine in a daze, her big watery eyes seemed to overflow with water at any moment.

The noble concubine snorted coldly, "The merchant girl is really uneducated, put away your foxy look, and save it for the emperor's envoy, I won't accept your tricks."

Zheng Meiren is the adopted daughter of the Zheng family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zheng family has been competing for the title of imperial merchant with the Xie family, who is also a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time the Zheng family put a lot of thought into sending their adopted daughter into the palace, and now that Zheng Meiren has been favored again, it seems that the designation of coming to the Imperial Merchant will fall on the Zheng family.

It's just that compared with the background of the concubines in the palace, the background of Zheng Meiren, the adopted daughter of a merchant, is really not enough. Not to mention the comparison with the noble concubine who was born in a noble family, even Wen Zhaoyi, a concubine who is a concubine, is not comparable to Zheng Meiren.

"Concubine... There is no concubine." Meiren Zheng burst into tears.

The imperial concubine was annoyed seeing her like this, and just about to scold her a few more words, the concubine Jing who had left turned around and interjected: "Empress, the emperor went to Zheng Meiren's place last night, and didn't go to you Is it Zhaoyang Palace? If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor, why do you embarrass a little beauty here?"

Concubine Concubine Jing glared at Concubine Jing, and said angrily, "I want you to take care of me to teach the low-ranking concubines who are ignorant?"

Concubine Jing sneered, and said: "You are a first-rank imperial concubine, and my younger sister is only a second-rank imperial concubine. How dare my younger sister care about you? My younger sister is just looking at Zheng Meiren's pity and helping to say something fair. If my younger sister thinks that my concubine talks too much The concubine just shut up."

"So Concubine Jing, you still know that you talk too much!" Concubine Gui sneered.

Concubine Jing said: "Sister has always known herself."

Although Concubine Jing didn't shut up, but after her interruption, the noble concubine couldn't continue to embarrass Zheng Meiren anymore, she snorted coldly, and said to Hong Jian: "Go back to the palace."

"Yes, ma'am." Hong Jian gestured to the little eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair, and the little eunuchs carried the sedan chair steadily and left.

After the imperial concubine left, Zheng Meiren walked up to Concubine Jing softly and thanked her: "My concubine thank you, Concubine Jing."

Concubine Jing shook her head indifferently, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, the imperial concubine is never easy to get along with, next time I meet you, I'd better avoid it."

Zheng Meiren said gratefully: "The concubine knows, thank you, Concubine Jing, for reminding me."

Concubine Jing waved her hand and said: "Okay, don't be so polite, go back early."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Jing also drove away in the sedan chair.

Concubine Hui muttered, "She can pretend to be nice." She also left.

An Pin is not a very lively person, so she left a long time ago.

Seeing Wen Zhaoyi, Xu Jieyu and others who had seen enough of the excitement turned around and left, Lu Wanning didn't stay long, and quietly left with Qingzhi and Qingdai.

What happened at the gate of Fengyi Palace reached Luo Chengjing's ears not long after. Luo Chengjing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Lian Yong and said: "If I remember correctly, there seems to be one of the tributes that was just delivered two days ago. How about a good jasper bracelet?"

Lian Yongwang nodded, "Your Majesty remembers correctly, there is indeed a pair of fine jasper bracelets, and the villain has ordered someone to keep them in the treasury."

Among the tributes delivered two days ago, there were not only a pair of fine jasper bracelets, but also a pair of fine suet white jade bracelets and a pair of jadeite bracelets.

Luo Chengjing said: "Zheng Meiren has been wronged today, so reward her with the pair of jasper bracelets."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lian Yongwang replied and went down to make arrangements.

The noble concubine made things difficult for Zheng Meiren at the gate of Fengyi Palace. The emperor felt that Zheng Meiren had been wronged, so he turned around and rewarded Zheng Meiren with a pair of jasper bracelets. The news spread in the palace at noon as if he had wings.

After hearing this news, everyone in the harem had a new understanding of how favored Zheng Meiren is today.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen smiled slightly after hearing this, and then continued to ask about the prince's homework.

In Zhaoyang Palace, when the imperial concubine heard about it, she accidentally broke the blue and white porcelain tureen in her hand.

In the Linglong Pavilion, after Lu Wanning heard it, as if she hadn't heard it, she continued to discuss with Qingzhi and Qingdai the birthday gift for the Empress Dowager.

She has only been in the palace for a short time. Apart from the routine rewards when she was named a beauty and the thank-you gifts from the concubine Jing, there are only things she brought from outside the palace in the treasury. Although those things are still exquisite and expensive , but as a birthday gift to the empress dowager, it was still a little bit worse.

Lu Wanning, Qingzhi, and Qingdai searched through all the items in the warehouse, but they couldn't find anything they were satisfied with.

"How can this be good?" Qingzhi said worriedly: "The Queen Mother's birthday is on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, and there are only forty days to go. Even if it is the master, you ask your family to help you prepare it. I'm afraid you won't be able to find it in such a short time." What a good thing."

Qing Dai suggested, "Master, why don't you give the facial cleansing incense and body purification incense that you made according to the ancient recipe as a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager, I think the Empress Dowager will like this kind of thing that can beautify the skin."
