Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 3 Once entering the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea (2)
"Oh! Bi Tao is going now." Yun Qing really didn't complain about the emperor accepting a concubine today, but it was Mr. Feng that she never forgot.

When Bi Tao came back, she saw that the young lady had just gently pressed the jade flute under the pillow and was cleaning the jujubes on the bed, so she hurriedly put down the water basin and stepped forward to help.

"Why have you been gone for so long?" Yun Qing asked casually, but the tears that Bi Tao had been holding back for a long time finally broke out, and she even cried out loudly.

"What's the matter, Bitao?" Yun Qing was startled, quickly put down the things in his hands, pulled Bitao over, and asked, "What happened?"

"Miss..." Bi Tao choked up for a while, looking at the concerned young lady, she felt aggrieved for the young lady when she thought that the maids in the palace treated her so badly.

Those unscrupulous court ladies actually bullied the lady like this.She went to fetch water, but found that no one had prepared hot water for them, so she asked the two maids waiting in the outer hall to boil some water, but they pushed back and forth, and said some unsavory sarcasm.

She didn't want the young lady to know how sad she was, so she held back her anger and ran to boil the water by herself.After the water boiled, she went to look for the wooden bucket, but she heard the eunuch in charge complained strangely, "A master who is not favored, the maid who is not favored is also so clumsy. There is no distinction between priority and priority, even looking for the bucket first and then burning it." There is no distinction between water and water, it seems that it is destined to be unfavorable."

After hearing what the eunuch said, Bi Tao couldn't help but want to retort, but seeing the eunuch and the maids looking at the show, she held back again for the sake of the young lady.

In fact, it's okay for her to suffer a little bit, but she can't see Miss being ridiculed like this.

Although the young lady is not a direct descendant, the other masters in the Yun Mansion used to ridicule them occasionally when they bumped into each other, but the young lady never cares about others, and just stays in Xiyuan, living a comfortable life.And Bi Tao just took care of the little daily things like eating and living for the young lady, and didn't need to do those rough jobs at all.

Although she was only a servant before, in Yunfu, other servants were responsible for such chores as boiling water, cooking and laundry.What's more, because the young lady treats her like a real sister, she usually does some small things by herself, and doesn't often order her around.

Who thought that the young lady entered the palace and became a queen, but she was not even as good as staying in the Yunfu. This palace raised such a group of court ladies and eunuchs with no dignity, how will the young lady live in the future?
"Don't cry, Bi Tao, is someone bullying you?" Seeing Bi Tao's angry and resentful look, Yun Qing guessed that someone outside might have made her angry, so she couldn't help but lovingly embraced her in her arms, and softly comforted her : "Don't cry, Bi Tao, didn't we come here like this in Yunfu? Now it's just a different place to get used to, and I will get used to it soon."

Bitao was sobbing, she was not crying for herself, but for Miss: "I know, miss. But Bitao is really sad, why is such a good lady always being bullied? In this way, now that Miss is a queen, she is also being bullied by those contemptible palace maids. Woohoo, Miss, Bi Tao really loves Miss..."

"Silly Bitao, I don't feel wronged. Why are you crying?" Yun Qing's heart warmed, and her comfortable smile was breathtakingly beautiful: "As long as the heart is like calm water, all the waves of the outside world will not disturb us. From now on, we will be here It was the Hundred Gardens in the past, as long as the flowers and trees are carefully taken care of, they will bloom more beautifully in spring. Don’t cry, my nose is all covered with snot, and then you will have to wash again.”

"Miss!" Bitao sniffed, raised her head from Yun Qing's arms, and saw the smile on Miss's face with a little embarrassment, and she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

She burst into laughter and said angrily, "Miss is always like this, making people cry even if they want to."

"Hehe, stop crying?" Yun Qing scratched Bi Tao's nose, and said, "That's sensible! Look, the water is getting cold."

"Ah, I'm going to boil it again." Bi Tao blushed, and hurriedly wanted to change the water again, but was stopped by Yun Qing: "No, it was hot water just now, but now it is lukewarm water with a moderate temperature, so there is no need to add water. "

A few indifferent words from Yun Qing resolved Bi Tao's grievances, and the master and servant cared for each other warmly, making the hall warm; outside the hall, no, above the palace, a handsome black shadow moved slightly, his handsome eyes Staring deeply at the pure and beautiful figure of the person in the palace, thoughtfully.

Then he lightly reset the piece of tile that he had just removed, and with a leap of his body, with a few tiptoes, he disappeared on the roof of the temple and merged into the thick night...

The next day, the weather was slightly cold, but the morning glow was bright, which was a good weather.

Yun Qing got up early in the morning, and Bi Tao cleaned up for her, then picked out a light pink dress and put it on.

"Miss, wait." As soon as Yun Qing stepped out of the palace door, a gust of fresh cold air rushed towards her face, but Bi Tao seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned back to the palace.

Yun Qing stopped, and looked at Bi Tao hurriedly back to the palace in puzzlement, wondering if she had left something behind.

She was supposed to be dressed dignifiedly and noblely, but now she just randomly inserted two pearl hairpins, letting a few strands of hair hang down her shoulders, and ordered Bitao and a more docile-looking court lady to lead the way to the Queen Mother's Xiangning Please be good to the palace.

From time to time, Bi Tao came out, but she saw a bright red fox fur in her hand, and she came over to cover Yun Qing: "Miss, Tianhan, be careful not to catch a cold."

This was a reward sent by the Empress Dowager to Yunfu before she got married.This exquisite fox fur made of Firefox fur, which is rare in a hundred years, is bright red like fire, rich and shiny without any variegation, probably the only one in this world.

For this reason, even the eldest lady and the fourth lady who had always had their eyes above the top were envious, and their mouths betrayed their hearts with disdain for their eyes.

Although the young lady herself has a pure white fox fur, but such an exquisite and beautiful fox fur, no matter where she goes, people will recognize its dignity and value.The identity of the person who can own this fox fur cannot be easily looked down upon by others.

The young lady is the empress of a country, although the emperor never favored the young lady on the wedding night, she didn't want the young lady to go to see the queen mother so plainly, because she might still meet the emperor in the Xiangning Palace.

In that way, the young lady will make some servants who look down upon others ridicule in private, and will be belittled by the woman who robbed the young lady's husband.

Yun Qing raised her eyes and looked straight at Bitao, until Bi Tao couldn't stand such a cold stare, and explained in a low voice: "Anyway, today is also the day of the young lady's wedding, and as a queen, if it's too plain, I'm afraid the Queen Mother is not happy."

"Let's go!" Yun Qing sighed helplessly, knowing what Bi Tao was thinking, she didn't blame her, but told her lightly: "Bitao, this fox fur is beautiful, but it is too red and too colorful, but it is easy to irritate her. This is the land of the harem. You and I are both newcomers, so we can be simple and simple. Being too flamboyant will only make us fall into more intrigues. Whether others see me as plain or ugly, you and I They are all people who like to be quiet, why bother to let yourself get into those troubles?"

Bi Tao paused, looking at the young lady under the fox fur background, although she understood what the young lady said was true, but she still refused to give up this opportunity for the young lady to be discovered by the emperor.

She believed that the emperor didn't want Miss just because he had never met Miss, and he didn't know Miss's appearance and temperament.As long as he sees Miss, with her talent and appearance, the emperor will definitely fall in love with her.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fang Fei skillfully coiled Situ Xianyu's beautiful hair, and inserted gold hairpins into her hair one by one, forming a golden and jade flower that never withered.

Looking at the still glamorous queen mother in the mirror, Fang Fei's voice sounded behind her: "Your Majesty, the queen is already waiting outside the palace. She only brought two little maids with her. Maid."

"Well, how is she dressed?" Situ Xianyu responded lightly, playing with a delicately carved golden step rock in his hand, making a jingling sound when he pulled it out.

"The dress is plain and the makeup is elegant. It's not luxurious, but it doesn't lose the dignity of a country. It's just..." Fang Fei's voice was a little hesitant, and her eyes seemed to be puzzled.

Situ Xianyu smiled slightly, seeing that Fang Fei, who had always been indifferent, showed doubts on her face, and couldn't help but feel curious: "Just what? She looks very ordinary?"

She was sure that Yunqing was beautiful, especially her eyes.

Those eyes have the clarity to see through all mundane things, like a fairy standing above the mortal world, and no dust has ever fallen in the eyes.

"No!" Fang Fei quickly denied, and seeing the Queen Mother's chuckle, she continued: "She wore the fiery red fox fur that the Queen Mother gave her. The flirtatious red complements her. Although she is more beautiful, she always feels different from her. Not worthy."

"Oh, but that Firefox fur is so gorgeous that it makes her look pale?" Situ Xianyu was surprised, thinking in her heart that it shouldn't be.

She also saw Yun Qing yesterday, the same bright red phoenix coronet made her look as beautiful as a fairy, and the fox fur was even more luxurious, how could it not be able to complement her beauty?
"Hehe, not really. It's just that she belongs to the kind of very ordinary person, and she is not worthy of her if she is too gorgeous. However, maybe this is just the feeling in the slave girl's heart. In fact, in the eyes of everyone, she is so amazing that she is so beautiful." People can't move their eyes." Fang Fei smiled lightly, her expression was very gentle, which made Situ Xianyu feel a little novelty.

Speaking of Fang Fei, it can be said that I have been with her for almost 30 years.He has always been respectful and calm, and he will not panic when the sky falls.

Except for the occasional warm smile towards her, the queen mother, Fang Fei, she always had a polite smile towards Ze'er.

Such a gentle smile at this moment is really rare.As a result, Situ Xianyu's impression of Yun Qing in his heart added another favor.

A woman who can be admired by Fang Fei must be a good woman and a good queen.

"Yunqing has met the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Jin'an." Seeing the graceful and luxurious Empress Dowager walking slowly with the support of Aunt Fang, Yun Qing recognized at a glance that she was the one who looked at him gently and dignifiedly from the city platform yesterday. that woman.

At this moment, she was sitting calmly on the couch, with a just-right smile on her still beautiful face, lightly looking at Yun Qing who was saluting herself.

"Well, your name is Yunqing, right?" There was an imperceptible kindness in the lazy voice, Situ Xianyu looked at the beautiful but elegant woman in front of him, his eyes were full of liking.

When her hijab flew up yesterday, she who should have panicked was so calm that even she secretly admired her.

In the face of Ze'er's intentional humiliation, and the strange gazes of courtiers and common people, she can calm down without panicking or complaining.

This kind of tolerance and calmness, I am afraid that only a person like myself who has experienced half a lifetime of wind and rain can do it.But as young as her, she did it.

"Hehe, get up. From now on, I will call my mother the empress. The word "empress dowager" is easy to separate. Fang Fei!" Situ Xianyu ordered softly, and Fang Fei who was at the side had already clearly handed over a cup of tea: "Yes."

Yun Qing heard the Empress Dowager's voice at this moment, she bowed profusely, stood up straight, carefully took the green tea from Fang Fei's plate, and handed it to the Empress Dowager respectfully, with a gentle voice: "Mother, please drink tea."

"Hehe, good! What a clever child." Situ Xianyu took the teacup with satisfaction, and let Fang Fei sit down with a smile.

At this time, an old gray-haired eunuch came in from outside the palace, and reported respectfully to Situ Xianyu: "Go back to the queen mother, the concubine Hua is asking to see you outside the palace!"

Bi Tao's complexion changed, and she clenched her hands tightly.Glancing at Yun Qing, who was calmly sitting in the seat according to Yan, and the calm-looking Queen Mother, she couldn't help feeling nervous.

I don't know what kind of sacred Concubine Hua is, to let the young lady of a country be ridiculed by the world on her wedding day, she must take a good look at it later, and don't let her bully the young lady again.

"Well, let her in." Bi Tao thought about it, and saw the old eunuch trot out tremblingly, and from time to time, an intoxicating fragrance floated into the hall accompanied by the sound of jingling beads.

This fragrance is not like peach orchid and osmanthus, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, which makes people feel tempted by the fragrance.

Turning her head curiously, Bi Tao's gasp was immediately covered by her hand.

What a beautiful woman!
She had to admit that the woman who came in was a rare woman she was willing to admit was beautiful.In the Yun Mansion, the Eldest Miss and the Fourth Miss are also beauties, but their faces are always turned upside down, making people feel extremely uncomfortable at a glance.

But the woman in front of her is beautiful without overflowing, gorgeous without being vulgar, with wisdom in her beauty and softness in her elegance.She is the only woman who can keep pace with Miss among the beauties she Bi Tao has ever seen.

I saw her with a slight smile on her face, like a begonia flower, generous and elegant, coming gracefully.

She was dressed in purple fur, which made her fair skin even more delicate.The black hair is like ink, and the well-coiled bun is surrounded by exquisite bead forks. A gold-plated walker full of colorful butterflies is perfectly inserted between the gold and jade flowers. You only need to move your steps lightly, and the sound is crisp and melodious. The sound of collision is interwoven into a most beautiful piece of music.

It can be said that hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the fragrance of pearls and emeralds comes from the water palace.What a wonderful person!

Looking at the woman passing in front of her, Yun Qing couldn't help secretly praising her in her heart.

"My concubine pays my respects to my mother. I wish my mother's longevity and prosperity." The sweet voice broke the silence of the room. In front of Xianyu, she bowed slowly.

Yun Qing raised his eyes, and was surprised to see the Queen Mother smiling at him. He was surprised, but she heard her gently take He Ruowan's slender hand, and looked at her carefully: "Well, not bad. She really is a transparent and beautiful woman. , no wonder Ze'er is full of praise for you."

"Mother's queen!" He Ruowan blushed, she seemed to see Yun Qing who was sitting beside her when she was coquettish, she raised the corners of her lips, walked up to Yun Qing and bowed lightly: "This is the queen sister, right?" , my sister has met my sister."

"Sister, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Yun Qing also hurriedly stood up, looking at He Ruowan with a gentle face, her smile was very peaceful.

The person in front of him is indeed a beautiful and gentle woman, and also a famous talented woman in Tianque. It is a beautiful thing in life for the emperor to be able to marry her.

"Thank you, sister." He Ruowan smiled lightly, but when she saw Yun Qing for the first time, her heart skipped a beat.

On the day when she heard the queen mother's decree to seal Yunqing as queen, she called Yun Ya, the fourth young lady of Yunfu, to inquire about the situation.I only heard that this Yunqing is mediocre in appearance and has no talent, the only thing she knows is playing with flowers and plants.

I saw her today, but I didn't want her to be so beautiful that I felt that there was a crisis everywhere.

Turning her beautiful eyes, He Ruowan's eyes fell on Yun Qing's noble and gorgeous fox fur, and she praised: "Sister's fox fur is really a rare boutique, and it is even more radiant when matched with my sister. Compared with my sister, my sister is more beautiful. It’s really shabby and I dare not see people.”

As she said that, her originally beautiful face was covered with a tinge of shame, making one unbearable to see such a touching woman so sad.

Yun Qing was stunned, seeing the disdainful glances from the maids accompanying Hua Concubine, feeling disappointed.

She secretly regretted that she shouldn't have worn this fox fur, but now this thing really made her feel embarrassed, and it was difficult to speak.

If you say that your fox fur is only average, so the thing was originally a gift from the Queen Mother, it will definitely make the Queen Mother unhappy.If you follow her words, it seems that you are wearing this thing today to show off your noble status, and it is useless to talk about it.

In this way, she could only smile and say nothing.

For a while, although there were many people in the hall, there were not many people who spoke.

He Ruowan offered tea docilely with a smile on her face, and had a flattering conversation with the Queen Mother for a while, then stood up again and asked the Queen Mother to resign.
