The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 10 Dismantling
Zhao Nuoqing was about to find a secluded place to sit down when she suddenly heard someone calling her name in front of her. Zhao Nuoqing looked up and saw Xu Cairen standing in the middle surrounded by many concubines waving at her.

For a moment, the eyes of many concubines around Xu Cairen all looked at Zhao Nuoqing, making her quite uncomfortable.

Xu Cairen had already seen her and called her by name first, if she didn't go to say hello at this time, it would be really unreasonable.So, Zhao Nuoqing bit the bullet, turned around and walked over, stopped in front of him, and saluted Xu Cairen.

Today Xu Cairen was wearing a pink smoked veil butterfly pleated skirt, with a lingxu bun on his head and full of pearls and emeralds, he was very conspicuous even standing among the concubines dressed in fancy dress.

I heard that the emperor had passed the news that Xu Cairen would be in bed for three consecutive days, and then sent a reward like flowing water to Qingran Pavilion. Now Xu Cairen is a very popular person in the palace, no wonder she is surrounded by so many people. many people.

Xu Cairen looked Zhao Nuoqing up and down, and saw that Zhao Nuoqing was wearing a lotus root pink dress with flowers and thousands of waters, with a snake bun on his head, and only an apricot flower hairpin of the same color as the clothes was stuck on it, his face A thin layer of rouge was applied on the top, and such a dress appeared to be poor among the many well-dressed concubines.

But I don't know why, but Zhao Nuoqing's insipid attire made her more pure and lovely, exuding a sense of elegance and chic, especially the hairpin on her head, which didn't look expensive, but The design is exquisite, inserted in Zhao Nuoqing's bun, adding a touch of inadvertent charm. Compared with the hatchback, her grand attire can only be described with one word, that is vulgar!
She thought that she would stand out among the concubines by being brightly dressed and extravagant, so that the emperor would notice her at a glance. Of course, when Zhao Nuoqing returned to the future, she was indeed the most outstanding among the concubines Conspicuous, but when Zhao Nuoqing came, inexplicably, she felt that she was being compared.

She regretted calling Zhao Nuoqing over, but it was hard to drive her away at the moment, so she forced a smile and said, "My sister is really dressed up today... So elegant!"

Zhao Nuo smiled lightly, compared with the beautifully dressed concubines around her, she was indeed dressed in a simple and elegant way. The concubines tried their best to dress up to attract the attention of the emperor, but she did not deliberately dress up in order not to lose her manners.

Almost all the concubines present knew Zhao Nuoqing. After all, a few days ago, Xu Cairen from Baolin fainted in front of Tai'an Hall in such a sensational way, and Zhao Cairen was supporting her by his side.

Now that Xu Cairen has been favored by the emperor, this Zhao Cairen seems to have disappeared. Just looking at his appearance, Zhao Nuoqing is much better-looking than Xu Cairen, but now he has ended up like this, everyone can't help but gloat thoughts.

At this time, a certain concubine suddenly said: "Yes! Zhao Cairen's dress is too plain! Xu Cairen's dress is good-looking, and it's festive to see it. When the emperor comes later, I must like it!"

Xu Cairen's low self-esteem just now was instantly diluted by the concubine's few words, and his self-confidence immediately increased a lot.

That's right, the emperor likes her now, not Zhao Cairen!It is enough to prove that the emperor is not a person who only looks at appearance.

Another concubine also echoed: "Yes! Now Xu Cairen is the most favored among our sisters. In my opinion, Xu Cairen will be pregnant with a dragon child in a few days. At that time, he will be considered as the lord of the first palace." It's no problem! If that day really comes, I hope that Xu Cairen will promote our sisters a lot! Isn't it?"

The rest of the people agreed, "Yes, yes! I also ask Xu Cairen to promote a lot!"

Xu Cairen was praised high and high by everyone, and his vanity was full for a while, he smiled and waved his hands, pretending to be modest and said: "Sisters are joking, if there is such a day, I will definitely not forget everyone A sister!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of harsh and disdainful mocking laughter suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Everyone turned their heads to look for the source of the voice, and saw two equally exquisitely dressed concubines standing beside them.

The two look delicate and pretty, each with its own charm.

Among them, the concubine on the left seems to have long been displeased with Xu Cairen's triumphant appearance, and seeing that everyone was looking at the two of them, they were completely calm, and said mockingly: "Back then, Zhao Cairen and Xu Cairen They were disrespectful in front of the palace together. I never thought that Xu Cairen won the favor of His Majesty for three consecutive days, and was promoted from the position of Baolin to the position of talent! How can you say that Zhao Cairen is also Xu Cairen's benefactor? Did you mention Zhao Cairen who helped you before the emperor?"

Zhao Nuoqing was about to sneak away without a sound, when suddenly the unknown concubine brought the topic to her again, and now many concubines looked at her, Zhao Nuoqing resentfully stepped forward The footsteps were taken back.

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines surrounded by Xu Cairen suddenly realized that Zhao Cairen helped Xu Cairen, Xu Cairen should be closer to Zhao Cairen, but for several days, Zhao Cairen was still as quiet as before. silent.

Zhao Cairen is like this, how can they expect Xu Cairen to help?

While speaking, several concubines walked away from Xu Cairen with disappointment on their faces.

Zhao Nuoqing looked at the concubine who brought the topic to her, and felt quite familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

At this time, she was gloating at Xu Cairen's expression gradually changing, and her eyes burst into a smug light.

At this time, another concubine standing side by side with her suddenly said with a serious face: "Lin Cairen's words are wrong. Although Xu Cairen didn't mention Zhao Cairen to the emperor, he still brought a gift of thanks to Zhao Cairen. Talented!"

Hearing that concubine's words, Xu Cairen's heart sank suddenly, and when he met the concubine's eyes, a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Then the concubine gave a sly smile and said: "It is said that Xu Cairen brought a thank-you gift to find Zhao Cairen the next day after he went to bed, and he chose the most precious one among the rewards from the emperor and empress." A gift for Zhao Cairen, what do you think it is?"

This concubine deliberately stressed the syllables of the word "most precious", and everyone was curious for a while.

Hearing this, both Zhao Nuoqing and Xu Cairen were shocked. How did they know what Xu Cairen gave her?
Lin Cairen and the concubine beside him exchanged glances. Lin Cairen obviously knew what those gifts were, but at this moment he pretended to be curious and asked: "Cheng Cairen, don't be a fool, but how precious are you?" Gift? Let our sisters listen to it too, keep your eyes open!"

Xu Cairen clasped her hands tightly at this moment, and she couldn't care less about who leaked the matter. She was very afraid that Cheng Cairen would say the thank you, but she couldn't stop Cheng Cairen from continuing.
