Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 79 Yin Meiyu

Leaving Yulu Pond all the way, and going around a long way, Lin Zijiang followed Chu Yue into a forest.

Along the way, Lin Zijiang noticed that there were fewer and fewer palace lanterns on the road, and it seemed that they were getting farther and farther away from the center of the palace.Especially now that the woods they were in was even more desolate, and seemed incompatible with the bustling atmosphere of the imperial palace.

Lin Zijiang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. After all, that Concubine Yin is also Chu Yue's mother, so she shouldn't live in such a remote and desolate place?
After thinking for a while, she finally couldn't help but stop, and asked, "Um... did we go the wrong way? It doesn't look like there are people living in front."

"It's just ahead." Chu Yue replied flatly, without slowing down his pace.

Hearing Chu Yue's affirmative tone, Lin Zijiang had no choice but to keep up with him.But she guessed in her heart: Chu Yue's mother must have been unfavored before, that's why she lived in such a remote place.In that case, the place where she lives must be very dilapidated...

But when he walked out of the woods, Lin Zijiang realized that he had guessed wrong!

Although the scene in front of me is not as magnificent as other places in the palace, it is not at all dilapidated, but very elegant and unique...

Because at the moment in front of their eyes is a plum grove.Since it is late autumn, the plum blossoms on the branches are still budding, but there is a faint fragrance coming from time to time.A palace with vermilion walls is hidden in the plum grove, and the palace lanterns hanging in the air are swaying in the air. This scene is as beautiful as a painting.

As the saying goes, "the willows are dark and the flowers brighten another village", I didn't expect such a beautiful scene to be hidden behind the bleakness of this road.

Lin Zijiang was immersed in this picturesque scene, but suddenly saw the plum tree in front of her eyes sway, and a figure in the shape of a court lady had come to her.

Lin Zijiang took a step back subconsciously, only then did he see clearly that standing in front of him was a palace official with a pale yellow lantern.

The palace man looked about forty years old, and there were already several deep lines on his dry yellow cheeks.However, her expression was very serious. Looking at her clothes and age, Lin Zijiang guessed that she should be at the management level here.

"Slavery Chunlu, see the prince and concubine." The palace man saluted Lin Zijiang and Chu Yue.

"Exemption." Chu Yue replied.

Hearing this, the palace maid named Chunlu got up slowly, and then said to Chu Yue: "My lord, the concubine has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and led the way for Chu Yue and Lin Zijiang.

From the moment he appeared, the palace man kept his expression just now, even when facing Chu Yue, he still had a serious expression on his face.This made Lin Zijiang a little curious. Few people put such a stinky face in front of Chu Yue, because no one could have a more stinky face than his.Is it genetic?It seems that Concubine Yin should always have a straight face like Chu Yue...

Before entering the main hall, Lin Zijiang glanced up at the plaque hanging on the beam, on which was inscribed the words "Wen Mei Ge".Lin Zijiang thought to himself: This Concubine Yin must like plum blossoms very much.

Walking into the hall, immediately there is a heavy sandalwood fragrance.Lin Zijiang took a peek at the environment, and saw that the furnishings inside were very simple, and there were no precious utensils as decorations. He simply put a few plums in white porcelain vases on the desks under the windows as decorations.It can be used not only as an interior decoration, but also as a natural fragrance.

Lin Zijiang thought to himself, in fact, plum blossoms in the room are already fragrant enough, there is really no need for sandalwood.The reason she thinks this way is mainly because she doesn't like the smell of sandalwood, which is a bit too fragrant.

To say that the most expensive thing in this hall should be the pair of bead curtains hanging in the middle.Through the bead curtain, Lin Zijiang vaguely saw a graceful figure reclining on the beauty couch, that is, the master of the hall and Chu Yue's mother queen—Yin Meiyu.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly through the curtain, Lin Zijiang knew that to give birth to a son with such beauty as Chu Yue, this Concubine Yin must be a rare beauty.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yue is here with his concubine." Chunlu stepped forward and said to the human being behind the bead curtain.

Immediately, Chu Yue winked at Lin Zijiang, and Lin Zijiang immediately understood what he meant.Following him, he bowed to the concubine and said:
"My son, see the empress dowager."

"Son... the daughter-in-law sees the empress dowager."

"Ah."

Yin Meiyu got up slowly, raised her hand slightly, and the palace servants standing on both sides immediately understood, went forward to pull up the bead curtain, and tied it to the pillars on both sides.

Lin Zijiang raised his head slightly, wanting to take a sneak peek.But just this one glance made her unable to move her eyes away.

This Concubine Yin is also... too beautiful.

Although Lin Zijiang could have imagined that she was a beauty before, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yin's appearance was ten times more beautiful than she imagined!
Logically speaking, Chu Yue's mother's queen should be over forty years old, but the woman in front of her looks only 28 or [-], standing with Chu Yue is like a brother and sister.Moreover, her face looked very delicate and smooth, without the slightest trace of age, especially those pair of agile phoenix eyes, which made people unable to look away after just one glance.

However, Lin Zijiang could see that Concubine Yin seemed to have the intention to hide her beauty, she only applied a thin layer of makeup on her face, and only a simple and elegant plain jade hairpin was inserted on her head.But even so, it did not conceal the stunning appearance at all, on the contrary, it added a bit of elegance and beauty, giving people a sense of dignity.

Immediately, Lin Zijiang immediately denied his previous inference that Concubine Yin was not favored. The former emperor was not blind. With such a stunning beauty by his side, any man would surely be tempted.

However, Lin Zijiang soon discovered another point. Although the faces of Concubine Yin and Chu Yue were impeccably beautiful, they were not alike.It seems that Chu Yue should look like his father, so the former emperor's appearance must be very high?

Sensing Lin Zijiang's scrutinizing gaze, Yin Meiyu raised her eyes slightly, and greeted her head-on.

As a result, Lin Zijiang was so frightened that he suddenly looked away, and immediately pretended to look at the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

Yin Meiyu glanced at the two people in the hall, and said to the left and right: "Give me a seat."

The palace people on the left and right heard the words, and immediately moved the two bamboo chairs beside the table into the hall.After Lin Zijiang and Chu Yue sat down, they offered the brewed tea.

Lin Zijiang doesn't like to drink tea, but when she found out that the tea was brewed with plum blossom petals, she took a sip, and it tasted very sweet.

"You must be tired from this journey." Yin Meiyu greeted.Her voice is very pleasant, a little lazy and numb, like a sponge, making people want to sink into it.

"Go back to Empress Dowager, don't be tired."

Hearing Chu Yue's blunt tone, Lin Zijiang felt a little embarrassed sitting beside him.It turns out that Chu Yue also has the same attitude towards his mother and queen. It seems that the relationship between their mother and child is not as good as he imagined.

But Yin Meiyu didn't mind when she arrived, she turned to Lin Zijiang and said, "Jiang Er, this is the first time entering the palace, right?"

Remembering that Chu Yue reminded himself to answer cautiously, Lin Zijiang went through the question several times in his mind before slowly answering: "Go back to the empress dowager, yes."

Seeing this, Yin Meiyu's vermilion lips curled slightly, and she smiled at Lin Zijiang: "You don't need to be nervous, Ai's house is located in a remote place, and there are few outsiders, so you don't have to pay attention to everything like other places in the palace. Besides, you are Ai's house The daughter-in-law of the Ai family really doesn't have to be so restrained in front of the Ai family."

"Yes." After hearing Yin Meiyu's words, Lin Zijiang immediately relaxed a little.I was secretly glad that this concubine was easy to get along with, but her character was completely different from Chu Yue's.

"How do you feel about participating in the birthday banquet today?" Yin Meiyu continued to ask.

"Going back to the concubine, it's okay. It's just that the concubine is too vulgar and has never seen the world. So she is cautious in every way and is afraid of making mistakes." Lin Zijiang replied.

However, Yin Meiyu smiled and shook her head: "Jiang'er is too modest. The Ai family has heard about what happened at today's birthday banquet. You beat all the concubines with your skills and made both Ai family and Yue'er look good. ,well-done."
