Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 89

Chu Yan clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Miss Xie, you are so talented, poetic beauties are even more beautiful."

...Inexplicably, she had the illusion of being a Deng Tuzi molesting a beauty, and she twitched slightly for a moment.

Xie Yanran was praised, but she didn't seem happy. While she lowered her eyes to thank her, there seemed to be a flash of contempt and hatred on her face.

Chu Yan was startled, and after a while, she smiled nonchalantly and said, "Does anyone have a better poem?"

On the contrary, he looked excited and wanted the audience to recite poems to make a match.

Everyone satisfied her interest. Although no one gave any more artistic poems, they still racked their brains to come up with something about flowers and plants.

Chu Yan just listened and didn't speak until Yun Su raised her head slightly and asked her with a bright smile: "Why does Your Highness the Crown Princess just watch us compose poems and not join in? Your Highness has read poetry and books in the palace, so it must be How much more accomplished than we are in poetry, how about His Highness also come up with a poem."

Chu Yan glanced at her with a half-smile, "Miss Yun's words are wrong, I've always been lazy, so I'm afraid I can't even talk about the so-called full of poetry and books."

Shen Xin covered her face with a handkerchief at the right time and chuckled: "Sister Yun knows that His Highness has read poetry and books in the palace as far away as Suzhou, and her eyesight is indeed very good."

There was a sound of laughter, as clear and sweet as the singing of a yellow oriole.

Yunsu's face flushed instantly, and she turned her head to Shen Xin angrily: "Sister Shen is laughing at me again, I just want to say something nice to make His Highness happy, you just make fun of me like that!"

These words moved everyone's hearts, some people smiled wider, and some secretly touched their foreheads.

Chu Yan was a little astonished, even though everyone knew she was flattering, but the Lord was not angry when she was ridiculed, on the contrary she frankly admitted that she was flattering, and took Shen Xin's sarcasm as a friendly joke, This person is really... interesting.

Someone seemed to be slowly realizing that Miss Yun...maybe she was really stupid.

After the laughter and laughter passed, Chu Yan just said a few words: "I have never been good at poetry, I am lazy, and I have never spent time studying and memorizing, so I usually forget it after reading it. Right now There are three talented women, Mu Xie and Shen, here, and the rest are not bad, so don't embarrass me for making fun of me here."

Since the crown princess shied away, no one dared to force the bow.

At the beginning, the whole people participated, but after a while, Chen Xi, who had no poetic skills, surrendered his gun first, followed by Chongzheng, who had always behaved well-behaved, and then Mu Nianqiu also smiled slightly, expressing that when Jiang Lang was exhausted, he only Shen Xin and Xie Yanran are still fighting.

So half an hour passed, until the poems about flowers were almost used up, Shen Xin held back for a long time without saying anything, and could only smile and say: "Sister Xie is really talented, Shen Xin sighed. "

Xiaolin Daiyu lost to Dalin Daiyu, and the ending was as Chu Yan expected.

She watched the two of them PK with a smile all the way to the end, Xie Yanran's expression fell into her eyes, and every second she watched, she couldn't help sighing again, a woman with talent and connotation is really different from a vase .

Xie Yanran herself is already very beautiful, soft and beautiful, every frown and smile is full of wind and snow.But when she articulated and talked about poetry, a more dazzling light burst out from her whole body.

Her eyes are like a cool breeze, and her red lips move slightly when she talks and laughs.

While Chu Yan sighed for such beauty, she discovered some hidden things in her character from her expression when she spoke. These are some characteristics that only those who are also language researchers can discover.

For example, when Xie Yanran mentioned her favorite poems, her eyes shone slightly, and there was almost an obsessive and fanatical brilliance on her face.But at the same time, when she finished speaking the poem and returned to reality, there would be a faint sense of loss and depression on her face, even if it was just a fleeting moment, it was keenly captured by Chu Yan.

At first, Chu Yan thought it was her own illusion, but after several rounds of observation, she found this phenomenon in each other's eyes without exception.

Thinking quickly in her heart, Chu Yan finally came up with a possibility.

Xie Yanran was born in the Xie family of Chenjun. This is a family that has spanned five dynasties in history. Countless literary and military figures.

Chu Yan studies ancient literature, so she knows the Wang Xie family well, but she doesn't know whether the Wang Xie family is declining or flourishing in this Xuan Dynasty that came out of nowhere, but seeing Xie Yanran's appearance today, I already have a bottom in my heart.

There are so many romantic figures in the Xie family, in such a big family, those who can stand up must be talented and beautiful.

As a descendant of the Xie family, it is not unreasonable for Xie Yanran to be selected to enter the palace, but looking at her now, I am afraid that she does not want to enter the palace in her heart.

Naturally, it's like that young people in literature and art are not willing to join forces with those who seek fame and fame, and Xiao Qingqing is unwilling to be good friends with the author of Xiao Huangwen. The hypocritical women who snatch cucumbers are fighting fiercely.

It's a pity that the Xie family's decline is worsening day by day. The aristocratic family that used to be one of the best in the capital has now experienced hundreds of years of changes, but it can only settle down in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is still declining rapidly.

Xie Yanran is entrusted with the hopes of the Xie family, and it can be said that she has high expectations.

Indulging is unwilling, but she can only enter the palace, but the pride of the Xie family is still on her body, and her heart is filled with hatred for herself and dissatisfaction with reality.

In short, this morning's flower viewing is over.

Chu Yan slowly glanced around the women present, and then smiled and let the guests see them off.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't show her mountains and dews, she just smiled and watched everyone's performance, and she had a more or less preliminary understanding of these women.

She also noticed that apart from Xie Yanran, Chongzheng was silent from beginning to end, and Princess Qi's niece Shi Yanting also maintained her usual lack of interest. If she guessed correctly, the two of them probably did not enter the palace voluntarily.

Curiosity suddenly came up, and after everyone had left, she was still slowly reminiscing about everything just now.

The reason for Chongzheng to enter the palace is obvious. After the death of General Zhennan and the decline of the family, she had to step into the harem for the sake of the family. Naturally, she kept silent and was not very interested.

But what is the reason for Shi Yanting?It stands to reason that it doesn't matter whether she enters the palace or not, since she has already come, why is she acting reluctantly now?

After I greeted the crown princess and went back, that afternoon, another incident happened in the palace, whether it was a big deal or a small thing.

It turned out that Mu Nianqiu, a newly promoted girl, went to Yong'an Palace to pay her respects and sat in the chariot arranged by Concubine Mu. The Queen Mother called her to Shouyan Palace and reprimanded her, saying that she had violated the rules of the palace.

When the maids around the Queen Mother went to invite someone to Concubine Mu's Tinglan Palace, Concubine Mu was at the Queen's place.

Because the queen doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, and the queen mother is too old to manage alone, so some trivial matters are left to Concubine Mu to take care of.She went to the queen to ask some things that must be consulted, so as not to overstep the queen's power and make people say no.

In the blink of an eye, when she returned to Tinglan Palace, she knew that Mu Nianqiu had been "invited" by the Queen Mother's people.

"Please go? Did you say why?" Her heart tightened.

"Returning to the master, Aunt Qing He only said that the queen mother asked the girl to talk for a while, and then took the girl away."

Concubine Mu began to think about what she did wrong, and told the queen mother to grasp the handle, otherwise she would not have asked Nianqiu to say something for no reason.Otherwise, why did the seven beautiful girls in the palace find her?
You can't tell her to go because you want to win over Nianqiu, right?The queen mother is not such a stupid person, she can't do such obvious things, otherwise she won't be afraid of her position today.

As a result, when she frowned and said, "Go to Shouyan Palace to pick up the girl", Mu Nianqiu came back by herself.

Her complexion was pale, and her forehead was dripping with sweat. This appearance simply horrified Concubine Mu.

"What's going on?" She hastily asked someone to support Mu Nianqiu, her palms were tightened, "How did you get into this look?"

Mu Nianqiu bit her lip, and then smiled, "Don't worry, aunt, the queen mother just punished me to stand in the yard for half an hour, that's all. It's okay. I don't know the rules of the palace, so I rode in a chariot privately. , is really overstepping the rules, and the Queen Mother should punish me."

Under the hem of the skirt, her knees were a little weak and trembling, but she tried her best to restrain herself, and she did not show any discomfort. Instead, she took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat, and smiled lightly, "It's not very sunny, but it's always It's a bit hot, if aunt allows, Nianqiu wants to take a bath and change clothes first."

How could Concubine Mu bear this tone?Immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "What is the old woman going to do? My Mu family is sitting on the carriage in my palace, she has something to say! This is clear for me to see, right?"

She is angry, but she will not really go to the Queen Mother to settle accounts.

After all, it was the queen mother, and with Mu Qingzhuo's backing behind her, she was always a noble concubine, and she should not contend with the queen mother due to emotion or reason.

Mu Nianqiu endured the pain from his knee, forced a smile and patted the back of her hand, "Don't be angry, aunt. If you get angry, your health will be bad. The queen mother is old, and the harem depends on you for many things. Now I have also entered the palace, and His Royal Highness treats me differently from other people. The queen mother is naturally worried that everyone in the harem will favor us. Today is just an opportunity to let everyone see who is the master of the harem. It’s just standing there for a short while, it really doesn’t matter.”

Seeing beads of sweat on Mu Nianqiu's forehead, Concubine Mu finally let go, and said with a straight face, "You go take a bath first."

And when Mu Nianqiu stepped into her room, Ning Fang, who had been supporting her all the time, said anxiously: "Why don't you tell the truth to the imperial concubine? The queen mother made you kneel for half an hour, you but said—"

"Hush—" Mu Nianqiu gestured countless silences, and then said in a low voice, "I don't want you to mention this matter in front of aunt. If you miss it, be careful with your mouth."

Her face was as cold as usual, but her voice was unusually cold.

Ning Fang was startled, bowed her head and said nothing.

The moment she sank into the bathtub, Mu Nianqiu closed her eyes, feeling the throbbing pain from her knee.

She remembered that the moment she stepped out of Shouyan Palace, another woman passed her by, with a delicate expression on her face, looking at her in pain, her face was full of surprise.

"Ah, what's wrong with Sister Mu?" Shen Xin hurriedly reached out to her, wanting to help her.

Mu Nianqiu's heart turned a thousand times in an instant, and he understood what was going on.

The Mu family and the Shen family are accomplices in the court, but they are allies in the harem. She has the support of Concubine Mu, but what about Shen Xin?

...Shen Xin naturally leaned on the big Buddha of the Empress Dowager.

But in fact, although Mu Nianqiu closed his eyes, he was very clear in his heart.

Aunt seems to have a high status in the harem now, but after all, she is only a noble concubine. The emperor is no longer in the palace, and the queen doesn't care about things. How can a little noble concubine cooperate?

If she can't rely on her aunt, what can she do?
A vague thought came to her mind, and after a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, "Changing clothes for me, I'm going to Yong'an Palace."

In the middle of the afternoon, Chu Yan had just heard that Mu Nianqiu had been punished by the queen mother, but she did not expect that the master would come to visit her.

Hey, this is the second time in a day, I'm afraid I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
