The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 20

Seeing that Nian Xilan didn't blame Fang Lin, Fang Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile: "In addition to lavender, the master's flag also has light blue, light pink, and lake blue colors. Whichever one you wear, this servant will fetch it for you."

"Just wear the light pink one." Nian Xilan said with a smile, "Didn't you mention that the emperor likes me wearing a light pink flag dress a few days ago. Since the emperor thinks I look good in light pink, then I Let’s wear this light pink flag dress. Besides, this light pink suits my current status very well, it’s not ostentatious, but it’s also appropriate.”

Although Fang Lin and Fang Wan remained calm on their faces, they secretly thought in their hearts: It seems that Mrs. Xi is not spoiled and spoiled by her family, Miss Jiao who is ignorant of world affairs.From this point of view, even without the emperor's deliberate protection, it should not be a problem to protect himself in the palace with nobleman Xi's thoughts and means.

Under the service of Fang Lin and Fang Wan, Nian Xilan quickly changed into the flag dress. On her head, she only combed a simple two-prong hair, and a few small flowers on it matched the pale pink flag dress quite well. Watercolor velvet flowers.Except for the white jade bracelet bestowed by Kangxi, Nian Xilan didn't wear any other jewelry, and the makeup on her face was also very light. She just used eyebrow stones to lightly sweep her eyebrows, and light pink rouge to dab her vermilion lips. She looked quite fresh Elegant and elegant, like the graceful daffodils swaying in the wind, it is lovely and lovely.

Because Nian Xilan deliberately left half an hour earlier, when Xilan arrived at Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the noble concubine Tong Jia, the other concubines had not yet arrived.

The imperial concubine Tong Jiashuyan is now in her forties, her body is slightly plump and well-maintained. Although her appearance is not beautiful enough, she has a graceful and luxurious attitude.

Concubine Tong Guifei heard that the lady of the palace reported that Lord Xi was already waiting outside the palace, so she smiled and told the maid: "Since Lord Xi has arrived, welcome her in. In short, everyone is already waiting outside the door, what can you do?" Can't you send her back?"

The little maid hurriedly admitted her mistake and led Nian Xilan into the hall.

Nian Xilan had met this concubine Tong Gui in her previous life, and knew that she was Empress Xiaoyi's younger sister and Tong Guowei's concubine daughter.Unexpectedly, when they met this time, the relationship between the two had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nian Xilan saw that Concubine Tong was indeed wearing a beautifully embroidered blue-purple flag dress, lowered her eyes to hide the deep thought in her eyes, and respectfully saluted Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong called out lukewarmly, as if Smiling but not laughing, he sighed: "Although it has just entered autumn, the morning and evening are already a bit chilly. Mr. Xigui's cold has just recovered. If the wind and cold outside Jingren Palace spread to the emperor's ears, it will still be cold." I thought this palace was deliberately making things difficult for you, the emperor's new favorite!"

Nian Xilan was not annoyed when she heard Concubine Tong's sarcasm, she just smiled and explained in a calm tone: "I am very upset that I have not been able to greet the imperial concubine in time due to physical discomfort these days, so It’s really not thoughtful to come here as early as possible. Now that I have my mother’s advice, I will definitely remember my mother’s teachings in the future, and will not act recklessly to make my mother worry.”

Seeing what Nian Xilan said, Concubine Tong smiled and waved her hands, "Maybe what I just said was a bit serious, but after getting along for a long time, you will know my temper. Although it is a bit stricter, he likes to explain everything clearly on the bright side. What he hates the most is people who hide their knives in their smiles and have sinister hearts. There are some things that I see clearly, but I don't care about them. You In the future, you don't have to be so cautious in front of this palace. There are too many people in the palace who are full of scheming and like to go around when doing things, but this palace prefers honest and straightforward people."

"Thank you for your teaching, Concubine Gui. I have been taught. These two pieces are brocade handkerchiefs that I have embroidered for my empress these past two days. I don't know what color my empress likes, so I chose two patterns of different styles on my own initiative. For the splendid garden and the moonlight in the lotus pond, I hope the empress likes it." Nian Xilan had a soft smile on her face, although her attitude was not overly warm and flattering, but she was very respectful and polite, so Concubine Tong could not find any faults.

Guifei Tong signaled her confidant servant Ruolan to take the brocade handkerchief, glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "These two tricks are very good, it's hard for you to bother so much when you're sick."

Concubine Tong paused for a moment, glanced at the mutton fat white jade bracelet on Nian Xilan's wrist, and said with a slight smile, "Today is the first time you greet me, and I will give you a set of white jade face, which is just right for you to share with me." The white jade bracelet that the emperor gave you is a complete set. You have a fair complexion and a gentle temperament, and white jade suits you very well."

At this moment, Ruolan held a set of white jade hair masks in front of Nian Xilan.Nian Xilan saw that this set of hairpins consisted of four hairpins, two buds, and two jade hairpins, all of which were carefully carved from white jade. The camellias in different poses were unique and quite fresh and elegant, so she hurriedly accepted the reward with both hands. , thank you, and then handed over the brocade box to Fang Wan beside her.
