The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 38

Fang Wan heard that Nian Xilan made such an arrangement, she couldn't help being a little taken aback, she turned her mind for a few times but never figured out what Nian Xilan's real intention was, so she couldn't help asking: "The servant girl needs to reveal the master's embarrassment to Liu Yuyi Some, would you like him to pass on some words to the emperor in front of the master?"

Nian Xilan looked at Fang Wan, smiled and shook her head, "You just need to do what I just told you, and don't say anything unnecessary."

Fang Wan seemed to have realized something in her heart, she nodded quickly and promised: "Master, please rest assured, this servant will definitely handle this matter for Master."

Nian Xilan turned her head to think for a moment, and suddenly said to Fang Lin: "Go and fetch the white jade headgear given to me by Concubine Tong Gui, and put it on for me. The light pink pile of yarn palace flowers and the pink flag set on me It fits well if you put it upside down, so there’s no need to change it.”

Fang Lin was so happy to dress up Nian Xilan beautifully. While helping Nian Xilan put on the headgear, she said in bits and pieces: "Master's face is beautiful, so naturally any headgear looks good on her! Master usually dresses up really well. It's a bit too simple, but today's dress is just right, it's both luxurious and elegant. If the emperor sees the master's meticulously dressed look, he will definitely like it!"

Nian Xilan smiled slightly, just stroking the suet white jade bracelet that Kangxi personally put on for her on her wrist, without explaining much.Seeing that it was almost time, Nian Xilan took Fang Lin to Jingren Palace.

When Nian Xilan arrived at Jingren Palace, it was neither the earliest nor the latest.

He's concubine Jia Shuheng, concubine Dai Jiayumin, nobleman Wang Miwan and some concubines with lower ranks have arrived.After Nian Xilan entered the palace, Concubine Xuan Borjijit Yunxiu, Concubine Rong Majia Yueqi, Concubine De Wuya Yuning, Concubine Hui Nalashuya, Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo Yurong also came one after another. walked in.

Concubine Xuan, who has a lively personality, saw Nian Xilan's outfit today, and her eyes lit up immediately. She came forward with a smile, took Nian Xilan's hand and praised: "The white jade camellia hairpin on Ximei's head is really beautiful, and it looks even more beautiful. Sister Xi is beautiful and refined, like a fairy who walked out of a beauty picture. Even I, a woman, can't help but want to look at Sister Xi more. No wonder the emperor is so fond of Sister Xi! When Sister Xi is free, I need to go to Chengqian Palace more. If Sister Xi can give me some pointers, I can also write poems and recite some poems and articles to meet the occasion. You won’t be despised by the emperor for being illiterate!”

Nian Xilan didn't know much about this lively concubine Xuan, she only knew that she was the daughter of Prince Horqin Darhan and Ta, and she was also a cousin of Kangxi.Because of this relationship, Concubine Xuan was granted the title of Concubine when she first entered the palace.Although he never gave birth to a son and a half daughter for Kangxi in more than ten years in the palace, and because of his ordinary appearance, he was not favored very much, but because of his bright and enthusiastic personality, he was very popular in the harem, and he maintained a good relationship with all the concubines .

Nian Xilan didn't want to get too close to Concubine Xuan before she figured out the purpose of Concubine Xuan, and she didn't want to offend her, so with a gentle smile on her face, she said politely: "Sister Concubine Xuan is ridiculous! It’s just that I can memorize a few famous poems and articles by rote, and I don’t dare to give advice. If Sister Xuanpin is interested, I can read some poems and articles to relieve my sister’s boredom.”

Concubine Xuan showed joy when she heard the words, and was about to say something when she heard the palace servants sing: "The imperial concubine is here."

Concubine Xuan quickly stopped talking, blinked at Nian Xilan, then bowed down together with all the concubines, paying respects to Concubine Tong, who was slowly approaching while supporting Ruolan's hand.

After Tong Guifei and Tong Jiashuyan sat down gracefully, she smiled and said to the concubines: "Let's get down."

Concubine Tong glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Today, all the sisters came here in a relatively complete manner. Except for Concubine Liang who is still sick and Mu Chang who is complaining about illness, the rest of the sisters have actually arrived."

Concubine Tong looked at Nian Xilan with a smile that was not a smile, and asked meaningfully: "Mr. Xi came early today. I thought that Mr. Xi must have worked very hard last night, so he will come later this morning!"

Nian Xilan's heart shuddered, and she explained with a smile: "The imperial concubine governs the palace strictly, with clear rewards and punishments. Even if the concubine's time in the palace is short, she will never dare to break the rules of the palace."

"Rules?" Tong Guifei sneered, "It turns out that Mrs. Xi also knows the rules of the palace..."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Nian Xilan was slightly taken aback, but even the faces of all the concubines present changed.

Although Nian Xilan has not been in the palace for a long time, she is deeply loved by Kangxi. Every move, every word and deed has already become a topic of concern and discussion among the people in the harem.Although everyone in the harem has different attitudes towards Nian Xilan, they all know that Nian Xilan has nothing wrong with him except being accompanied by Kangxi overnight in Qianqing Palace, which is not in compliance with the palace rules. .

As for why Nian Xilan couldn't leave Qianqing Palace immediately after attending the bedtime in accordance with the palace rules, everyone was very clear about the real reason.
