Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 7

Standing outside Fengyi Palace, Gu Jingchan took a deep breath and let it out slowly, her mentality has been adjusted.She has already gone to bed, and she will have a daily greeting from today.It was still early for her to come, and the queen in Fengyi Palace was still preparing.Looking at the second and third concubines beside her, Gu Jingchan's face remained calm.

After she went to bed that day, the emperor issued a decree on the second day, canonizing her as a fifth-rank concubine and giving her the title "Tian".Tian means peace and tranquility.The emperor bestowed this word on Gu Jingchan, which also meant that she was peaceful and relaxed.

In accordance with the rules of the country, concubines from the fifth rank start paying respects, and concubines below are not eligible to pay respects.Gu Jingchan saw that the few talents and concubines who had arrived earlier than her had all nodded their heads, and stood outside Fengyi Palace, waiting for the arrival of a large number of people.

Gu Jingchan stood for a while, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw a soft sedan slowly approaching.The soft sedan chair can only be used by concubines from the third rank and above.Now that the gate of Fengyi Palace has not been opened, the one who can come so early must not be the noble Concubine Hui, but it must be He Jieyu.

Just when Gu Jingchan was sorting out her thoughts, the sedan chair had already stopped in front of the palace gate, and a woman in wide sleeves and a curvy train came out of the sedan chair, her eyes met Gu Jingchan's.I could only hear the man laughing in the distance: "This new sister Tianpin! She is really a clear girl like water, and I really want to like it."

Gu Jingchan saw that the visitor was walking slowly all the way supported by the maid, Gu Jingchan folded her hands and saluted: "He Jieyu is well!"

"Sister Concubine Tian, ​​don't need to be too polite." He Jieyu looked at Gu Jingchan with a smile, and after saying this, she stopped talking and stood at the gate of Fengyi Palace, waiting for the Queen's call.

To be honest, this He Jieyu came really early.Whether she did this every day, or today on purpose, Gu Jingchan couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't think about it.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the cloak on her body was tightened without any trace.The wind in this winter morning is really cold.

As the sun was rising, many concubines had already gathered around her, Gu Jingchan calmly accepted the scrutiny from all directions.Thinking that after being left alone by the emperor for two months, she was made a concubine as soon as she went to bed, so it's no wonder she wasn't watched.

When the gate of Fengyi Palace was opened, she and everyone paid homage to the queen, and then sat down to relieve the soreness in her legs.

As soon as Gu Jingchan took her seat, she heard the people beside her look at her with wide-eyed smiles and said, "This is Concubine Tian, ​​right? I've heard that Concubine Tian is the daughter of Duke Anguo, and her temperament is definitely not what we compare to. It really made me feel a little ashamed to see you. No wonder the emperor gave my sister a lot of love when he saw her. Not only was he a concubine once, but he was also given a title. I think I was only a concubine when I entered the palace. It took a year to become Ronghua, in my opinion, if this goes on, it will be very easy for my younger sister to become a favorite concubine."

"I would like to thank Li Ronghua for her good wishes, but my status is vulgar and my status is low. It is a great gift for His Majesty to appreciate you for a while. She dare not do what she thinks otherwise!" Gu Jingchan looked at the people around her. With a smile on his face, his tone was really unfriendly.Doesn't the meaning of these words mean that she, Gu Jingchan, is a woman who brought disaster to the Charm Lord?

Although Gu Jingchan's words, on the surface, seemed very humble and well-behaved, but when she thought about it carefully, her words had a deep meaning.This Gu Jingchan counterattacked Li Ronghua very cleverly, and asked her not to find out her fault.If Na Li Ronghua got angry because of her words, then the charge of ambition and dissatisfaction can be borne.

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Jingchan's words, Li Ronghua's face had such a slight touch, but she was quickly buried in her bright smile.She still pointed at Gu Jingchan calmly and said, "Who doesn't know that if your Concubine Tian doesn't enter the palace, Lord An will definitely be able to get you the title of group leader. How can this princess be compared to us? If you are humble and vulgar, wouldn't we be ashamed?"

When Li Ronghua finished speaking, the entire palace was silenced immediately.Isn't what she said insinuating, Ming Shuyuan, who has claimed to be sick since she entered the palace?This Ming Ronghua is the daughter of Zheng Guogong, her family status is prominent, she was named the princess early, and now she is directly carried into the palace to be named Shuyuan, and she still retains the name Mingmei of the princess, which shows her status. vastly different.

Gu Jingchan didn't care about the insinuation in Li Ronghua's words, she just smiled and said to the pair of eyes with a bright smile: "Sister Li Ronghua said this. The concubine is a concubine, and the concubine is a concubine. There is no difference, the concubine with the title of the princess must not dare to think about it. The concubine has not high literary attainments and no talent. She is really an empty shell. Compared with Li Ronghua, the concubine must be a vulgar person gone."

Li Ronghua pursed her lips, but didn't know how to speak.This Gu Jingchan's words were well blocked, and Li Ronghua, who was really choking, couldn't speak. She pestered the handkerchief for a while before smiling and said: "Since Concubine Tian said so, I have no choice but to admit it. It's nothing more than It’s nothing more than knowing some piano skills. If my sister doesn’t dislike it, my sister can teach my sister. But looking at my sister’s slender and soft fingers, I’m afraid it will hurt even if I pluck the strings! Why don’t you learn from Sister Dong? , Sister Dong's talent is amazing!"

Dong Ronghua smiled and said: "Don't dare to act, the music is funny, it's just a way to amuse people in the boudoir, it's really hard to do it. Sister Li, what you said just now is good, if you are willing to teach Sister Tian Concubine how to play the piano , you can be a master and receive the gift of apprenticeship from her concubine Tian."

Gu Jingchan listened to what the two said, but she didn't participate.The two of Rong Hua were talking, what about her and Gu Jingchan?Although she was talking about herself, but the queen never spoke, why should she participate in the complaint?
The queen smiled softly and said: "Qin chess, calligraphy and painting! A must-have skill for a talented woman in the boudoir. I know that Li Ronghua's piano skills are excellent, and I still remember the song "Feng Yin" back then, but it still rings in my ears. This Qin Yi, I'm afraid no one in the palace can surpass her."

Li Ronghua raised a bright smile, nodded to the empress and said with a smile: "It's my honor to be remembered by the empress for her vulgar skills. I thank the empress for her praise."

"If Li Ronghua's skills are vulgar, wouldn't we never be able to touch that piano again? Sister Li, your piano skills are praised by His Majesty and can only be heard in the sky. Why do you need to be humble?" Concubine Hui took a sip of tea, With a gentle smile, there is a gentle breath between the brows and the bottom of the eyes.

Li Ronghua's smile did not fade away, but her cheeks flashed red and she said coquettishly, "Concubine Hui, how can you say that concubines don't obey you."

Seeing Concubine Hui's gentle smile, the queen also nodded lightly, and joked in her tone: "It's terrible, it's terrible, let's not talk about it, in case sister Li Ronghua gets shy, in the future if you Wouldn't it be a great loss for us not to touch the qin any more?"

Seeing that the three of them didn't participate, He Jieyu just waited for the queen to finish her sentence and when no one else spoke, then said with a smile: "Sister Li really doesn't need to be self-effacing! I just admire Sister Li that you can play so well." This is a good piano, but it's a pity that my ten fingers can only wield a sword, and I can't even use that handwriting."

"Sister He's skills are very special, and ordinary women can't ask for it. The only one in the palace who can dance swords side by side with His Majesty is Sister He. She is like a concubine, but she really can't do it. It's just plain. It's a joke!" Jing Shurong, who seldom spoke in Fengyi Palace, showed a rare smile, and looked at He Jieyu, who was full of self-effacing smiles.

Dong Ronghua smiled lightly, nodded in agreement and said: "That's true too! He Jieyu is in good health, her face is flushed, without makeup, she is still beautiful. It is difficult to know yourself in life, but He Jieyu can be regarded as your Majesty's master in martial arts. A confidant in the harem."

Li Ronghua smiled, and also joined in the excitement and said: "That's right! You all have to talk about Sister He, you just laughed at me for a long time!"

He Jieyu seemed to have a tinge of anxiety and a tinge of embarrassment and said: "Hey, sister Li actually said that to me. Fortunately, I helped you speak just now!"

Li Ronghua smiled and suddenly looked at Gu Jingchan, who had been smiling calmly and never spoke, and said, "Sister Concubine Tian has heard that An Guogong attaches great importance to children's education before entering the palace. I heard that Sister Tian has written a good handwriting?"

"Oh? Sister Concubine Tian also loves calligraphy very much?" Concubine Hui cast her eyes on Gu Jingchan with a touch of gentleness.

Gu Jingchan nodded and smiled, "I'm ashamed of a good handwriting! It's just that I like to copy a few strokes when I have nothing to do."

Concubine Hui smiled gently, and asked curiously, "Whose characters did you write?"

"I don't have a fixed calligraphy for my concubine. I just think it looks good, so I copy it and learn it. But now I am really learning Anping Jun's calligraphy!" Gu Jingchan smiled modestly, but the indifferent smile on her face never faded .

As soon as Gu Jingchan finished speaking, someone's eyes flickered slightly.In Anping Junnai is the first female calligraphy.Hearing what Gu Jingchan said, all eyes turned to her.Concubine Hui pondered for a while before smiling and said: "My sister's handwriting should be good, but Mr. Anping's handwriting is extremely good. Originally, I wanted to give my sister Ben Hewan's "Small Notes on Poetry and Words" to my sister. Thinking that my younger sister has learned the characters of Lord Anping, I can't do it."

Gu Jingchan got up and bowed lightly to Concubine Hui, saluted and said: "The "Small Notes on Poems and Words" is a peerless rare book, and it is an ancient book that has been around for a hundred years. It must also be your mother's favorite thing. It's a good word, but it can't deprive her of her love. It's really wrong!"

"Hi! It's just a book post! It's not a notebook! It's okay for you to take it away, my sister! But, it's a courtesy, what do you have to give back to my sister?" Concubine Hui smiled gently, with a smile on her face. Very strong smile.

Gu Jingchan chuckled softly and said, "I don't have many books! Concubine Hui mentioned Mr. Anping just now, so you must also appreciate Mr. Anping's words. I just happen to have a copy of "Chao Hua Yin" and Mrs. Hui is proficient in the six arts. People, I think the empress should think that the concubine's gift is what she wants."

The empress pursed her lips and pointed at Concubine Hui with a smile and scolded: "You are a big sister, you actually met Concubine Tian for the first time today and asked for a gift, why don't you just give her a copy of the book."

Li Ronghua pursed her lips and smiled lightly, glanced at Concubine Hui and said to the queen, "Comparing "Small Notes on Poems and Words" with "Chant of Chaohua", you have made money, Concubine Hui!"

Concubine Hui also smiled and looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine did not seize this! This was bought in exchange for a rare book! You can't go to the queen mother to sue me for a while, the concubine can't afford it." of!"

The queen smiled softly and did not speak, instead she looked at Gu Jingchan and said, "Forget it, Sister Concubine Tian, ​​you are the one who got caught by her. Ask all the sisters, didn't you get ripped off by her when she entered the palace. Look at how proud she is!"

"Oh, sister empress is ashamed of concubine. If I'm being stingy, wouldn't I make all the younger sisters laugh at me!" Concubine Hui smiled gently, her eyebrows twitched, and there was a special smile in her eyes.

The queen smiled flatly, stood up suddenly and said: "It's getting late, and I have to go to see the queen mother! Sisters, let's go now."

Gu Jingchan watched the queen get up, and then slowly let out a breath.In this harem, it seems that the sisters are deeply in love, but in fact they are murderous every step of the way.Seeing that the empress and concubine Hui were very friendly in tone, but their eyes never met, it must not be as simple as that.It seemed that she had to pay extra attention in the days to come.
