Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 174

Qin Gui was born in the common people, how could he have been treated like this before, the emperor of Ming Dynasty favored him, and the empress also treated him with such courtesy, even if the other concubines complained a lot, it was still good after the two sides weighed it.

She took the empress's polite words as compliments, and under the scrutiny of the concubines who were either jealous or disdainful, she also gave birth to many advantages.

"The concubine remembers the empress's teachings, and she must strive to conceive the emperor's dragon species!" Her pretty face was covered with a thin blush, and Shui Yanran twitched the corners of her mouth when she saw this. The empress was just saying politely. , this girl really takes herself seriously.

The atmosphere among the halls was rather delicate, because of the relationship between the nobles of Qin, all the concubines were more or less concerned, the queen could see it naturally, and explained some matters before letting everyone disperse.

In the next few days, Qin Guiren could be said to be surrounded by three thousand honors, and the green head card was hung up night after night, and Fengluan Chunen's carriage picked her up as soon as the hour came, and the luxurious carriage often went around the concubines. There were bursts of wind chimes ringing past the residence, which made them feel even more piercing on the cool moonlit night.

"Huh, at that time, the wind is exposed, and at the same time, it is withered and prosperous, let's see whose grace lasts forever."

Fengluan Chunen walked past Shui Yanran's palace, she leaned on the soft bed and raised her eyes and snorted, since the nobleman of Qin entered the palace, the days when Ming Shengdi summoned her are numbered, let alone other things. Concubine.Although she has the right means, no matter how old she is, she can't compare with Qin Guiren's green age to make Ming Shengdi love her.

But what's the big deal about being young in this palace, she is a commoner girl, fundamentally she can't go very far, even if she is favored by her appearance, it will only be three to five years.

The palace servants played cattail fans for Shui Yanran, and they didn't dare to talk too much. Shui Yanran closed her eyes and was thinking about how to fight Qin Guiren. Wake up, now Xia Bin and Xia Qin are fighting each other, if Shui Yanran is not favored by Ming Shengdi, then her words for Xia Bin in front of Ming Shengdi will become meaningless in the future.

"Tui'er, did His Highness the Xian Wang deliver a letter today?" She closed her eyes and asked quietly, again worried that Xia Bin would be disappointed in her.

"Go back to your mother, it's not yet, the last letter was eight days ago!"

Shui Yanran opened her eyes, and mumbled a little. Every time Xia Bin left her a private message, it was either to tell her to find out the mind of the Holy Emperor Ming, or to tell her to hold on to the favor of the Holy Emperor Ming. to her affection.

"Forget it, just pay more attention."

She sighed, looking at the smoldering incense sticks on the table, feeling deeply melancholy.

Xia Bin probably has been busy fighting with the prince recently, so he doesn't care much about her, right?What she has to do is to help Xia Bin eliminate all disadvantages, and fight for the most powerful conditions for him to be in the top position. Only when Xia Bin replaces the prince and becomes the crown prince, can she one day not have to hide things about herself and him, and be able to avenge Xia Ziqi !
And if you want to be the most favored concubine next to Ming Shengdi all the time, you must first erase nobleman Qin!

Thinking of this, Shui Yanran secretly made up her mind again.

"Qin Guiren...heh."

She will let this little girl realize what it means to be domineering and pampered.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th is coming as scheduled. Since the Shenshi passed, some palace people have been busy one after another in Ruiyi Palace. Ruiyi Palace is facing Xihu Lake. The dewy cool breeze blows in slowly, and the palace ladies are constantly shuttling through the palace. There are two rows of low seats and floor tables. The masters held a banquet and served food.

When the night climbed into the sky, the brightly lit Ruiyi Palace was also full of people from the royal family attending the banquet.

Ming Shengdi is wearing a newly cut dragon robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon hovering around his body, symbolizing his incomparable lofty status.

Today's Ming Shengdi seems to be extraordinarily energetic, with a radiant radiance on his old face, he toasts and invites everyone to have a meal with healthy laughter from time to time.

And beside him, sitting is a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth. She is dressed in colorful clothes, and the thin fabric wraps her jade muscles. Against the background of purple silk flowers, the ear beads are dressed in exquisite jade, which sway slightly with her movements. The tightly combed hair hangs on one side, and the clear and clear pearl hairpins are inserted, which makes her appear to be out of the dust.

This beauty is undoubtedly Qin Guiren.

At first, everyone thought that on days like the Mid-Autumn Banquet, Ming Shengdi should choose a concubine with more senior qualifications, such as Concubine Yue and Concubine Lian, to be by his side. For them, it is still a big difference.

However, Emperor Ming chose this up-and-coming star beyond everyone's expectations, and even asked people to make hairpins from the top-grade flood beads newly tributed by the South China Sea, and put them on the nobles of Qin. The concubines were very jealous.

In the palace, the dancers moved in wide poses, dancing their smoke and water sleeves to the sound of wandering silk and bamboo.

Today, Qin Guiren, who is the focal point of his eyes, seems to be very keen on these singing and dancing performances that have always been exclusive to the nobles. He poked his head and blinked his watery eyes, and from time to time he snuggled next to Ming Shengdi and talked coquettishly, which provoked Ming Sheng Di Da felt that she was innocent, and responded cheerfully.

During the banquet, Shui Yanran was eating wine, watching the Ming Shengdi who covered her mouth and smiled at him, and exhaled mockingly: "A commoner woman is a commoner woman, and she doesn't even look at her if she is coquettish and foolish." On occasions, even showing off in front of so many people, there is no such thing as a little dignified."

All the concubines sat in a circle around them. One by two, they stopped Shui Yanran's thorny words in their ears, and after a few glances, they agreed. Although they were not selected to accompany the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in previous years, Knowing that the seniority is not as good as a few important concubines, although I am envious in my heart, I feel it is reasonable.

But this nobleman from Qin has been in the harem for less than a month, yet he can reach the sky in one step by pampering him.

Jealousy gave birth to a harsh attitude, and a concubine who had been neglected by the Ming emperor for many months listened to Shui Yanran's words, and responded a little louder: "I remember last year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it was the concubine Yue who accompanied the emperor , Concubine Yue was born in a prominent family, and last year she wrote a poem to remind the moon very well, and the year before last, Concubine De was accompanying the emperor, and she drew a picture of a jade rabbit holding an osmanthus, which is so lifelike."

Her delicate voice is just enough for everyone around to hear it clearly, and there is a hint of true meaning in it.

"Looking forward, no matter it is the concubine Lian, the concubine Xian, or the concubine Shu, they all left works of praise to the moon at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. It can be seen that all the ladies who can accompany the emperor are all poets. Talented and affectionate, concubines feel ashamed."

After finishing speaking, the concubine looked up at Qin Guiren again, with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

The concubines who followed Ming Shengdi to Ci'en Villa were all of high grade and seniority. Most of them were from the famous families in Beijing and went through various drafts to enter the palace, while beautiful women had to go through many tests when they participated in the election, and their appearance and figure were only for entering the palace. Stepping stones, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry are all hard items for assessment.

In this way, as long as the concubines can enter the harem, they are all talented.

But Qin Guiren is just a commoner girl. Apart from having a beautiful face, I am afraid that other talents are not available. You must know that training a well-educated noble girl is a waste of money all year round. How can a family with enough food and clothing bear it?

Thinking of this, most of the concubines felt a little gloating. Nothing in this palace could not avoid comparison with each other. Even if nobleman Qin took the position of attendant at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it would not change her status as a commoner girl. Now Ming Shengdi Greed for novelty, maybe pamper her a little bit, but after a long time, she will get tired of it. After all, such an idiot beauty is only suitable for showing off.

A few concubines on this side began to stab each other with each other, but Qin Guiren on the other side didn't like it in his ears.

She knew that she was not as distinguished as other ladies, and before the prince came to her, she never even dreamed that she would be able to take off the coarse linen clothes in this life, and put on a silk and gold headdress that she had never seen before, and become Feishangzhi. head of sparrow.

But people's hearts are greedy. Once they reach the top of the secular world, they will be reluctant to part with wealth and keep wanting to go higher.

Qin Guiren is also a restless person. She was born with an appearance of overwhelming the country since she was a child. Naturally, she wants to be a master every day. Now that her wish has come true, she is most annoyed by others talking about her birth. At this time, the concubines below can understand Chao insinuated that she was not as good as other concubines who were drafted into the palace, so he was naturally very unconvinced.

And Shui Yanran listened to what the concubines said to each other, raised her hand and brushed the armor as if to defend Qin Guiren: "Okay, today is a good day, as long as everyone is happy, why bother to use this etiquette?" Is the etiquette so clear? Qin Guiren is still young, she seems to like to play with rouge and gouache and do some things for the little daughter's house. As the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, sisters, don't make fun of Qin Guiren .”

Shui Yanran seemed to be speaking for Qin Guiren, but in fact she demoted Qin Guiren to be even more incompetent and virtuous, and Qin Guiren's ears became even more uncomfortable.

"Concubine Yue is kind enough to concubines. Although concubines are young, they are already sensible. They understand that all the concubines in this palace are full of talents. Concubines are humble and dare not compare with them, but they are also I often study secretly, thinking that as long as I am not too far behind the girls, I can be considered a consolation."

Qin Guiren nodded her head and lowered her eyebrows when she spoke, her words had the intention of defending herself, but her tone was soft and soft, which was indescribably soft and pleasant to Ming Shengdi's ears .
