The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 21

At this moment, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui, Concubine He, Concubine Cheng and all the nobles, Chang Zai have arrived at Jingren Palace.After paying respects to Concubine Tong Gui, the concubines and Nian Xilan greeted each other according to their status, and then took their seats one by one.

Nian Xilan took the opportunity of meeting each other to quietly look at the higher-ranking and more favored concubines in the Kangxi harem.

Nian Xilan found that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were almost the same as she remembered. Both of them had fine lines in the corners of their eyes that could not be concealed even with good makeup, but their complexions were far different. Concubine Hui's complexion was worse. Haggard and lonely is like a shadow of sadness; while Concubine Yi is radiant and full of energy. Gu Panshenfei's clever eyes add a bit of dazzling look to her delicate but not refined face, which slightly dilutes the time when the years go by. leftover traces.

With his concubine's slender eyebrows and beautiful eyes, coupled with a pretty melon-seeded face, he can be regarded as an outstanding and attractive beauty.Concubine Cheng's appearance is relatively ordinary, but her figure is slender and graceful, and her slender waist adds a lot of charm to her.Miss Mi has a delicate appearance unique to Jiangnan women, with fair and delicate skin that can be broken by blowing a bomb. Although she is slightly small in stature, she has an exquisite figure. The next three princes.

Jingui's thick eyebrows and big eyes, a pair of moist and clear eyes are particularly attractive, but his facial features are not delicate enough; both Jing Changzai and Mu Changzai have phoenix eyes, but their temperaments are quite different, one is delicate and cute, the other is charming .Although the appearance of the three of them is slightly inferior to that of Migui, they also have their cuteness.

However, the one who surprised Nian Xilan the most was the concubine Wu Yayuning.Concubine De is much younger than Nian Xilan remembers. Although she still has the same elegant face as before, she is less alienated and indifferent. The delicately drawn eyes sometimes flash a shrewd calculation. With a decent smile, but without any warmth.Such a concubine made Nian Xilan's heart tremble, but she felt strange and dangerous for no reason.

Concubine De only glanced at Nian Xilan indifferently, then looked away, as if she didn't care about her, turned to Concubine Tong, and explained with a smile: "Sister Rong Concubine and Sister Liang Concubine are still ill, She is still recuperating in the bedroom, and it will take some time to recover; Concubine Xuan's younger sister also caught a cold last night, and I heard that her fever is still high, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come to say hello to my mother today."

Concubine Tong smiled slightly, "They are all sisters of my own family, so what's the point if I ask you to spend more time with each other? Hao Sheng followed the imperial physician's instructions and quickly recuperated his body to be serious."

At this moment, Ruolan came with two maidservants to offer freshly brewed hot tea to Concubine De and the others.

Concubine Yi Guo Luo and Luo Yurong looked at Ruo Lan who was serving tea for her, then glanced at Nian Xi Lan who was sitting beside her with a smile on her face, rolled her eyes, and said with a light smile: "I heard that Mrs. Xi's boudoir It's a coincidence that the name is Xilan. The name of the most powerful maid next to our concubine also has the word "lan". If you take a closer look, Ruolan's pair of moist and clear almond eyes are quite similar to those of Mr. Xi. The fate is similar! Speaking of which, this kind of fate is really amazing!"

Ruolan hastily confessed: "This is really a disgrace to the servant! The appearance of the servant is mediocre, how dare you compare it with Mr. Xigui? The concubine Yi praised it absurdly."

Concubine Tong drank two sips of tea calmly, then put the teacup on the table at hand, brushed the non-existent dust on the gorgeous nail cover, and then said slowly: "Actually, Ruolan's name is still This palace gave it to me. Orchids are known as the gentlemen of flowers, and their fragrances are all clean. They are the most noble and elegant. If Ruolan is lucky enough to learn the charm of orchids, it is also the luck of this girl, isn't it? It's just that this palace is Ruolan When choosing the name, I didn't expect that the name Ruolan would take on Mrs. Xi's boudoir name. Since that's the case, I just change her name for her."

Nian Xilan smiled and dissuaded: "Although orchids are highly praised by the ancients, they are also the most common flowers and plants. I am afraid that there are countless women who use the word orchid in their boudoir names, and the concubine and Ruolan are the only ones." Two people? From my concubine's perspective, the imperial concubine and concubine got this name for Ruo Lan very well, and she has been named it for so many years, so why change it? Thinking back to the time when the ancestor Shunzhi Emperor once said, "If you don't want the people in the world, you are unlucky" People's reasons, so I deliberately decree that there is no need to avoid taboos. And the concubine is just an insignificant person, so why should others avoid taboos for mere boudoir names?"

Concubine Tong's expression softened, and she said to Nian Xilan with a slight smile: "Mr. Xigui is indeed generous and decent. Since Mr. Xigui's words are convincing, I accept your favor and will not change Ruolan's name for the time being."

Concubine De looked at Nian Xilan appreciatively, and said softly, "Your Majesty Xi is not only outstanding in appearance, but also knowledgeable and dignified. You are really a delicate and lovely person. No wonder the emperor loves you so much!"
