Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 60
Xiao Mingrui laughed and said: "Then use it with me, I'm hungry too. It's been a hard day today, lady."

The food was already a bit cold, but they didn't mind it. You took a bite of each other, and they ate very happily.

"Your pajamas are nice."

Murong Wei was about to say something with a smile, so she heard him say: "It's convenient to untie it, and I'll make a few sets later."

Murong Wei has black hair, who did it for the convenience of unraveling, how dare he think it's a dress to seduce him?

Then he shouted angrily: "Smelly."

This guy is really annoying!

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows, with tenderness at the corners of his eyes, "Okay, no, it's good. The lady can make some for the husband, so that the lady can untie it."

Murong Wei said angrily, "I won't do it for you."

Xiao Mingrui refused, "My wife has to make some more clothes for my husband, and I will wear clothes made by my wife from now on."

Murong Wei shook her head, please, she doesn't like making clothes, as far as her skill is concerned, if she can do it, can he wear it?

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows: "Why not, Wei'er, you haven't given me a purse yet, I think your dowry purse is pretty good, so help me make some someday. There are also things like clothes..."

Murong Wei's face froze when she heard that, didn't she, he actually wanted her to make so many things.

"Are you sure what you want me to do? I'm really not good at craftsmanship. Most of the things you see are made with the help of others." She blinked her black eyes and said with a smile: "Don't be disgusted, my lord. You made clothes, but in simpler styles."

Xiao Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's done by you. Besides, you are a princess, and those needleworkers didn't raise them for nothing."

He didn't think Murong Wei's craftsmanship was that bad.

Seeing what he said, Murong Wei had no choice but to say: "Okay then, when I make a purse, the prince should not be disgusted with it."

But in my mind, I was thinking about what to embroider, embroider a zodiac?
or something else?

Xiao Mingrui smiled and said in her mind, "I'm really curious about the clothes Wei'er made for me."

Murong Wei said angrily: "I still have to tidy up. I'm very tired. My lord, let's arrange it. I have to enter the palace tomorrow morning."

His starry eyes flickered, "Silly lady, don't worry. I won't want you today, but you have to make up for this matter in the future."

Murong Wei blinked her eyes and said slyly: "I don't remember what I owe."

"Do you want me to remind you?" There was a bit of evil on his handsome face, "I don't mind being a husband."

Murong Wei hurriedly said: "No need, the prince is so busy, let's go to bed early. I am really tired today."

Xiao Mingrui also knew that he would go to the palace tomorrow, but he was always in a state of excitement when he got married today.

This will make it harder to fall asleep.

She yawned in his arms, closed her eyes, nestled into his arms like a kitten, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

They are not only the prince and princess, but also the most ordinary couple in the world.

Isn't this what he always wanted?
"Wei'er." He murmured, hugging her tightly, "Go to sleep."

Holding her in my arms at this moment, there is an unprecedented tranquility.

A night without dreams.

When she woke up in the morning, it was already light outside, Murong Wei slightly opened her misty eyes, muttered sleepily "What time is it", and then stayed there refusing to get up.

Xiao Mingrui looked at it with novelty, but he didn't know that she looked like this when she got up in the morning.

He glanced at the western clock and saw that the pointer was pointing to five o'clock: "It's only Maochu, let's sleep for a while."

Murong Wei hummed, but didn't pay attention to anything else, and used him as a pillow, hugging him and refusing to let go.

Xiao Mingrui saw it was funny, so he slept with her for a while.

When he marries a wife, he can naturally have a holiday.

It's just that I still have to get up later and prepare to enter the palace to thank you.

After falling asleep for not a moment, Murong Wei woke up suddenly, and said as if thinking of something: "Where is Lu'er? Get ready, I have to go to pay my respects to grandma..."

Suddenly realizing that this is not the Murong Mansion, but the Luo Wang Mansion, he was stunned for a long time and didn't realize it.

"Silly girl, you don't have to get up early to greet grandma in the future." He said helplessly.

It was only then that Murong Wei remembered, no, now that she lives in the Luo Palace, she doesn't have to always go to the palace to pay her respects.

I heard that it is almost enough to go once on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

Although Concubine Hui raised Xiao Mingrui and the fifth prince, she was not the biological mother, and she couldn't control many things too much.

Murong Wei just needs to click a dick and talk to her, that's about it.

Thinking about it, I'm happy again, and she doesn't have to go to greet people all the time in the future.

"Yeah, look at me, I still haven't realized it for a while." She rubbed her eyes, "But it's time to get up and get ready to enter the palace."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly got out of bed, went behind the screen to change into his middle clothes, and then let the servant girl come in to serve her.

Lu'er and Xiangtao had been waiting outside for a long time, and Su De, the servant, and the maid and eunuch who came in were carrying all kinds of toilet utensils.

After Xiao Mingrui and her washed up, Murong Wei only changed into a light pink jacket and skirt with silk gourd pattern and gold thread for the time being, and her black hair was pulled up into a bun.

It was still early to enter the palace, so Murong Wei put on the jade Buddha he gave her.

Xiao Mingrui saw her movements in front of the vanity mirror, and asked gently: "Have you been wearing it all the time?"

Murong Wei didn't reply to his words: "I hope you can feel at ease, wearing a Buddha is not for peace of mind."

Xiao Mingrui didn't care that the servant girl was still there, so he hugged her with a smile, Murong Wei let out a low cry, but saw that the servant girls around her lowered their heads, and there was a burst of voice, and they all moved away soon.

"My lord, what are you doing in broad daylight?"

Seeing her anger, Xiao Mingrui was not angry, "Since Wei'er has peace of mind, why don't you let me have peace of mind too?"

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows: "How do you say?"

"Remember to give me a present too, I wear it next to me. Weier can't always give me a parrot, right?"

Murong Wei chuckled, "Okay, I won't give you a parrot this time."

Xiao Mingrui took her into his arms and sat down at the round table of Huanghuali Bingdilian, and let the servant girl serve breakfast. A nanny from the House of Internal Affairs came over, collected the red handkerchief and put it in a box, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord and concubine on their wedding day." Hi, I will go back to the palace and report to the empress.”

Murong Wei could clearly feel the ambiguous eyes of others, she couldn't help but blushed, seeing Xiao Mingrui's smiling eyes made her even more upset.

"The king and princess will enter the palace to thank you in a while, and the mother will go back to the palace to thank the queen mother first." After finishing speaking, Su De gave the reward.

Mammy left smiling.

In addition to Lu'er and Xiangtao, Murong Wei also brought Xiangyu, Lushao and Dongyu's maidservants, Aunt Yue and Madam Zheng, as well as a few companions who are in Zhuangzi. For the time being, she has not taken care of the affairs of the palace. Clearly, it is inconvenient to let them in.

As for the maids sent by the Da Furen, she simply ignored their existence.

In addition to them, there are also maids assigned by the palace to serve here, the second-class maidservants, the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and some third-class and fourth-class maidservants.

The servants in the palace are all eunuchs, when Xiao Mingrui was resting in the front yard, he used eunuchs instead of maids.

The whole palace is quite big, and it will not be clear for a while, Murong Wei also turned her attention to breakfast.

Seeing that Lu'er was holding a sweet white porcelain flower and bird porcelain bowl, she was stunned when she saw that it was milk.

Xiao Mingrui said: "I heard that you drink this every day at home, so I asked someone to prepare it. It's not bad to drink, but I like that milk tea."

The corner of Murong Wei's mouth was smiling, and her heart was ironing. This man is really careful. In fact, when entering this new house, one can see that the layout here is similar to her original boudoir in Murong Mansion, except that it is larger and has more rooms.

"The concubine should thank the lord, in fact, drinking this milk is good for the health, the lord might as well drink it every day." She said with a smile.

Xiao Mingrui responded and also drank a cup.

The two couples finished their breakfast, Xiao Mingrui was going to the front yard to listen to the daily reports from the officials of the palace, and left soon.

Murong Wei met those second-class maids Chun Xia Qiu Dong, "What are your names?"

"If you go back to the princess, the maidservant is Aichun. This is Zhixia, Qingqiu, and Zangdong." The leading maid stepped forward to report. She was slender, with a beautiful appearance and decent manners. , an ice green twig-wrapped thong, a lotus-colored skirt of the same color, black hair in a bun with double rings, and a few red gold hairpins.

The other maids Zhixia, Qingqiu, and Zangdong came up one by one to meet each other, each with their own characteristics, but none of them were better than Aichun.

Murong Wei nodded, "This is also the first time we meet, Lu'er, thank you."

The four thanked Murong Wei for the purse.

In fact, Murong Wei already asked Yuegu to reward the servants in this courtyard yesterday, but these four maids got another big reward.

Ai Chun touched the pearls in her purse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward. The servants will serve the prince and princess with all their heart and soul."

First the prince, then the princess.

Murong Wei just smiled and said nothing, "My concubine only has two first-class maids, which is still not enough. Things in this mansion are complicated, and you need to cooperate with Lu'er and Xiangtao these days."

When the others heard it, their expressions varied.

As soon as I had the thought of being promoted, I became active.

The servants of these maids in the palace don't know who has placed them.

Only the talents she brought from her natal family are the most believable.

Lu'er and Xiangtao are first-class maids, so they are naturally in the palace.Xiangyu and Lushao Dongyu, who was brought up later, are both second-class maidservants. Their abilities are there, and Murong Wei does not plan to be promoted for the time being.

Dong Yu is an expert at settling accounts, and Murong Wei plans to train him to be promoted in the future.

As for this Aichun, if she has the ability, she doesn't mind using it, but the most important thing is to figure out the loyalty of these people.

There is no ability to cultivate, and it is useless to ask for it without loyalty.

Reserving a position can also give these people hope, let them put down their prejudices and help her do things, and she can also carefully observe the abilities of these people.

"Princess, it's getting late, it's time to change clothes and enter the palace." Madam Zheng came in from the outside and said.

Murong Wei nodded, got up and asked Lu'er to help change into the imperial concubine's court dress, combed her hair again, and changed into a set of pearl hair and face rewarded by the queen.

The big shirt and Xiapei paired with the nine-zhai double phoenix crown make her even more elegant, especially those two lacquer-like eyes looking at you, quite a feeling of being able to see people's hearts clearly.

The maids and women around were all bowed their heads at her imposing manner, secretly startled.

I have heard that this princess is not simple, but it is indeed so when I saw it today.

Also, if it's simple, can a concubine become a princess?
Xiao Mingrui had seen the officials of the palace, and when he returned to the new house, he saw that Murong Wei had changed into court clothes, and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

He was proud that this was his princess, his wife.

She should have been like this, wearing such clothes, standing side by side with him.

They share the rain, mist and clouds together, and share this supreme glory.

Murong Wei saw that he was dressed in a green robe with nine chapters and a nine-piece crown on his head. He was tall and straight, domineering and heroic, and looked more like an emperor. He looked at her with piercing eyes, and the corners of his smiling lips softened his face.

"My lord, my concubine is ready."

Xiao Mingrui stepped forward and said: "Let's go, enter the palace with me."

When he arrived at the door and got on the chariot, Xiao Mingrui said: "From now on, don't call yourself a concubine when you are in the rear."

Murong Wei doesn't want to say this word, she must maintain etiquette in front of people, of course she has to say it, if it's all you, me and me, if there are no rules, then it will be messed up.

"Then I would like to thank the lord, for the grace." She smiled and clasped his arm.

Xiao Mingrui hugged her shoulders, nodded her pretty nose: "You can be naughty."

The Prince's Mansion occupies quite a large area, and it took another quarter of an hour from where Murong Wei lived to arrive at the Chuihua Gate of Ximen, where he changed to Prince Xiangren.

This elephant is quite large, with four pillars painted in red, a dome set with jewels, and a pavilion inside, with mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and a dragon rising up to drive. Inside, there are soft couch cushions, tea utensils of the same color, and the four treasures of the study. Move room.

Originally, Murong Wei also had the phoenix sedan chair and barrier that the princess would ride on, so she didn't need to sit with Xiao Mingrui, but Xiao Mingrui didn't want to be separated from her, so he dragged her to sit on the prince's elephant chair.

It was the first time for Murong Wei to drive in such a luxurious car. In the past, he didn't always use such an eye-catching guard of honor when he went out, but today is a big day, so naturally he must show full guard of honor.

But seeing the guards and military officers of the guards of the royal palace and the ceremonial guards of the front and back opening the way, the sticks and drums sounded together, the gongs cleared the way, the palace people each carried their belongings to accompany them, the mighty curtains were drawn, and the whips were quietly clearing the way, so mighty.

Murong Wei was stunned, thinking that this is indeed the climate of the Tian family, strange that everyone here wants to compete for the top, the hierarchy is strict, and the treatment that each position can enjoy is completely different.

A scene like this can only be enjoyed by the royal family.

How could someone like Xiao Mingrui, who was only a palm away from that chair, be indifferent?

If he reached that position, he would naturally be able to take life and death, but if he was just a prince, he would be controlled by others most of the time.

Thinking of this, she also sighed a little.

Women may not care about many things, but their men have to care.

"What are you thinking about again?" Xiao Mingrui asked aloud seeing that she was obviously wandering off.

Murong Wei smiled: "I'm just a little nervous, the ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws."

Xiao Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, "Hey, if my Wei'er is an ugly wife, wouldn't others be able to see her?"

"That may not be the case, there are many beauties in the palace." She snorted.

Xiao Mingrui covered his lips with a little embarrassment and coughed lightly, "You don't need to pay attention to those women, they are just some concubines left behind. Some are maids given by the concubine Hui, you don't need to pay attention to them."

Murong Wei glared, feeling sore in her heart, thinking that this man had many women, although they were all in the past, but this place is not like modern times, a man used to have countless women but not all of them appeared at home.It's good to be out of sight and out of mind, and it makes her unhappy to think about watching them remind herself of their existence.

Xiao Mingrui saw that she was silent and silent, her rosy mouth was pursed, her eyes were full of accusations, like a child who didn't get candy, that aggrieved look made him feel distressed.

He hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug her, and coaxed her softly: "Hey, is Wei'er jealous? It's good for me to turn a blind eye to them from now on. I've already said that it's only you. Don't do this again. It makes people feel distressed. "

"Who is jealous? I am a good wife." She raised her willow eyebrows, her clear eyes sparkled, and said proudly.

Xiao Mingrui burst out laughing, well, he was worried in vain, this girl was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and deliberately made him feel bad.

He doesn't want her to be a good wife, as long as she is his sweet wife.

"You girl, you play with me all day long, so naughty, tell me how I should punish you?"

"I don't dare anymore, please forgive me, my lord. At worst, I will make you some more clothes."

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows: "Ten sets."

Murong Wei frowned, "How about five sets?"

"Tell me another fifteen sets."

Murong Wei quickly shut up, she regretted it, she knew that she would not provoke this man, she wanted to fight him, just as a joke.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she was still not as thick-skinned as he was. She was eaten to death by him, and she had to make ten sets of clothes because of the unequal treaty.

Murong Wei wanted to cry, but she sat down dissatisfiedly touching up her makeup, took lipstick and painted her lips, thinking bitterly, she has to make a comeback, right?

Sitting aside, Xiao Mingrui watched his little wife's indignation with great interest, almost broke his belly from laughing, he could only hold back his laughter, thinking about how to punish this naughty girl tonight in a good mood.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two got off the elephant, the little eunuch Xiao Luzi waited on them, Xiangtao also came with the car, today she had the opportunity to enter the palace together, very excited.

Entered the palace, walked along the palace road, and arrived at the Palace of Qin'an in the Imperial Garden in a short time.

From here is the only way to go to the East and West Six Palaces, and there are many people coming and going, this is the first time Murong Wei has a little leisure to watch the scenery of the imperial garden.

Along the way, the buildings centered on Qin'an Hall and balanced on both sides, whether they are built against the wall or stand in pavilions, are exceptionally exquisite and unique, dense and dense.In the garden, there are strange stones in the garden, beautiful trees and verdant trees, and the ancient cypresses and wisterias, all of which are old, make the garden interesting. Even the ground is inlaid with pebbles of various colors to form figures, flowers, allusions, or symbolic patterns of blessing, fortune, and longevity. , colorful and interesting.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, the Kunning Palace is to the north.

When Xiao Mingrui and Murong Wei arrived in front of the Kunning Palace, there was already a servant to guide them. Murong Wei saw that it was Qiong Fang, a female official whom she had seen before, and went forward to salute: "His Royal Highness Luo Wang, Wang Fei, the queen empress invites you to have an audience."

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Don't dare." Qiong Fang led the two into the room, and Murong Wei couldn't help laughing when she thought that she had come to see the queen several times, and her status seemed to be different each time.

When I entered the room, I saw that the queen was wearing ordinary clothes, a golden gown, a cyan cape woven with golden threads, cloud clouds, dragons and phoenix patterns, and a double phoenix and dragon crown on her head. She was sitting on the main seat with a dignified and elegant posture.

"My son, I ask my mother to be safe."

"My daughter-in-law asks my mother to rest assured."

The queen raised her hand and said, "Get up."

Only then did the couple stand up and respectfully stand aside.

The queen said kindly: "You husband and wife are newly married, and the palace has rewarded you with something. From now on, we want the husband and wife to live in harmony and spread the word for the royal family."

"My son obeyed, and thanked my mother for the reward."

Thanks again for the reward, and after hearing what the queen said about how husband and wife get along, they came out of Kunning Palace.

Xiangtao and Xiaoluzi were waiting outside, and only went forward to greet them when they came out.

"Father Huangying hasn't come to court yet, first go to Huimu Concubine to pay her respects, and then go to the Imperial Study Room to kowtow to Father Huang." Xiao Mingrui said.

Murong Wei nodded, and the two went to Concubine Hui's again.

Concubine Hui knew they were coming a long time ago, and everything was ready. Murong Wei entered the main hall of the Chonghua Palace, and saw Concubine Hui wearing a red woven gold peony makeup and embroidered Hongfu Qitian jacket, light green colorful clouds She wears a horse-faced dress with sea water and river cliffs, a beaded emerald head, a red gold Wufu hairpin, a jade heart, and hollowed-out Emerald Baifu earrings on her earlobes.

The two came forward to greet each other.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to it for a while, I'm sure you should come here from the empress, Jinse, this is my daughter-in-law who is here to serve tea, why don't you come over to cook tea?"

Jinse responded with a smile: "Your Majesty has been talking about it early in the morning, and you will drink daughter-in-law tea when you are sure."

"Your Majesty..." Murong Wei blushed, lowered her head, seemed a little shy, and her expression perfectly expressed the shyness of a new daughter-in-law.

Concubine Hui really looked happy, took her hand and said affectionately: "Sit down quickly, look at this child, he is still shy. Last time I saw you, were you generous?"

Xiao Mingrui watched this scene with a smile.

Murong Wei smiled and said: "That's a good thing, who doesn't know that the empress is a fairy who spreads wealth, why don't you reward me more."

Concubine Hui laughed loudly, pointed at her nose and scolded, "Everyone, come here to toss about my things."

Jinse had already brought tea, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because the lady has a kind eyebrow and looks kind? Otherwise, don't the prince and the princess like to look for you?"

Concubine Hui's complexion was rosy, and she pointed to the teacup: "If you want to reward me, you have to serve tea to me. When I am happy, the reward is not like flowing water?"

Murong Wei was a little coy and shy and said, "The daughter-in-law can only beg for it with a cheeky face."

At this time, a court lady had already taken the futon and was waiting on the side, at this moment she stepped forward to put the futon away, Murong Wei knelt on the futon, took Jinse's tea, and held it in front of Concubine Hui with both hands respectfully.

Concubine Hui took the tea, took a sip, and was taken by Jinse.

"Okay, I've had my daughter-in-law's tea today, so I can't help it. Jingyi, why don't you bring me something?"

"Yes, the servants are already ready."

Jingyi turned around and held a gold plate with golden phoenix patterns, and it really contained a lot of precious jewelry.

Murong Wei looked around, and saw eight-treasure hairpin tassel gemstone necklace necklace, a set of red gold silk-drawn emerald emerald hairpins, two pairs of red gold silk-drawn five-blessing earrings, and a red gold phoenix-patterned phoenix-patterned phoenix-wrapped branch earrings. Yes, a pair of Hetian jade buddhist hands, a pair of Tangyue porcelain jade bottles...

Xiao Mingrui glanced at it, and said: "Concubine Hui, is this a bit too heavy? I remember that pair of jade purification bottles are a pair that you have always liked, Concubine Mu."

Concubine Hui smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to remember it. This pair of jade purification bottles from the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty was very rare. It was given to me by the Empress Dowager Ci Huiren when I entered the palace. I will give it to you today. Your daughter-in-law is gone."

Murong Wei really didn't know the origin of this jade bottle. Empress Dowager Cihuiren is the biological mother of the current emperor and the empress of the former emperor.Six years after the death of the first emperor, he also died.Cihuiren is the abbreviation of his posthumous title.

Hearing what Concubine Hui said today, she also knew how valuable this thing was, so she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how dare your daughter-in-law beg for such a valuable thing? Why don't you give me a few more things, Your Majesty?"
